HE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Colored Women of Bonner Springs are to Be Commended for the Courageous Stand They Have Taken for Right and Justice! 191 VOLUME VII. "Observer" Sees the Young Negro's Finish Unless he is Checked in His Wild Career. The hope of the race is going pell-mell down the "precipice" without a forethought of the future. They remind me of a mad horse on the run. The horse in his madness goes running pell-mell down the street and lane, puraued, till finally he is overcome by exhaustion at the brink of the precipice, and falls headlong down the steep cliff and breaks its neck; likewise the young manhood and womanhood of the race. Despite the handwritings against them, they are going at full speed down the embankments without deliberating on the awfulness of the conditions surrounding the base of the oiliff of time. Men and women of education, and financial strength are holding meetings in different parts of the country in an endeavor to ameliorate the conditions confronting us as an integral part of this nation. Withal our young people are going their way to folly and slow destruction, not discerning the signs of the times pointing to their suppression and degradation. Legislation on top of legislation is being piled up against their upward march in the race of life; the Associated Press reporters throughout the country are sending lying reports all over the world to thwart their onward march; orators and statesmen and even ministers of the gospel are everywhere attempting, by vile epithets, to poison the minds of the thinking people, endeavoring to make them believe that the American Negro is a failure and thriftless. They point to the young generation of Negroes as criterions for their vile criticism. Can not our young people discern the signs of the times through the newspapers and current literature of the day? Can not they be persuaded to retract a little of their folly by the study of the constant meetings of colored women's clubs, men's conferences, like unto the Niagara movement, which has stirred the Union of States, and especially that class in the states who are doing their level best to degrade us in the eyes and minds of the world? Can not they be redeemed from the course they are pursuing? Let us follow briefly the paths (some of them) our young people are pursuing, and see if they are tending upward to the mountain of fame and character building. Of course it must be admitted that a very small percentage are tending upward, but the great mass are on the downward road that leadeth to the pit of destruction. The late K. C. O. Benjamin, the once prince of the lecture platform, delighted to prefix his lectures as follows: "I would asked as I would chance to meet a neatly dressed and seemingly cultured young lady walking down the street, 'Who is that young lady?' The answer would be, 'She is Miss ——, and a nice young lady.' 'Can she wash?' 'Oh, no; but she can play the piano very well.' 'Can she sew, cook or do general housework?' 'Oh, no, nor her folks have a little money and don't require it of her, but she is a graduate of the college and has a fine education and is a very fine educationist.'" Thus we have it in a nutshell, as we attend picnics and wine-s the marshalled array of finely dressed educated young people, frequenters of picnics, balls and all night long parading the streets while the old folks are at home sowing, cooking, washing and cleaning up, etc. Our young people give no thought of tomorrow. They seem to think no further than their nose. They are ever ready to go somewhere, it matters not where, so long as it is somewhere to a place of frivolity. To go to places of amusement and there gare into the faces of so many bright and beautiful maidens and sterling manhood, and watch their demeanor.'tis indeed heartrending. You indeed question their alma mater and wish that every schoolhouse was a house of retreat, whither our young people should go to learn what it is to be cultured and refined. Our young manhood seems to glory in their authority exercised over our maidens. The privileges taken or granted are indeed bad in the extreme. Nowadays if, perchance, a young lady shows signs of affection for a young dude, that individual seems to believe, by some kind of a right, he is sole proprietor of the girl and so acts, both in public and private. The actions of both are suspicious. It is vice versa. Man and wife do not act as bold in public as do the youth of today. It must be admitted that educationally we are scaling the mountain, but morally and socially we are not up to the standard, and at the rate our young people, the life of a race, are wending the goal will not be reached morally and socially. To be refused and cultured is not to be found regularly at every dance, picnic, ice cream parlor and up and down the public thoroughfares, clinging to the arm of a dude every night. Such doings are repugnant to culture and refinement. These is nobility in a beautiful and chaste young woman. She is an honor to her parents and the delight of the community in which she moves. All people delight to praise her. Could she realize her power over all creation, what a blessing it would be in shaping the destiny of our young manhood. Is there not a remedy for the conditions which confront the youth of today? Yea, the various organizations among us, which have for their object the betterment of our people and the study of these to our material welfare, and our earnest co-operation with those identified with them are partial remedies. My candid belief for all is the strengthening of the character of our young women. Get a group of twelve here and there, and let some competent womanly women lecture them weekly on the pitfalls and picture to them the immoral side of the dance and vanity of courtship these days and finally paint in glowing colors the beauties of righteousness and character building, for strength of character in youth is the lever by which the future generations will be blessed, and in our young women lies the boon of the race's glory, honor and preservation. —OHNEVER.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 8, 1905. COLUMBUS NEGROES WILL NOT STAND FOR WHITE TEACHER! The Tillman Element of Whites Insist on "Jim Crow" Schools and Demand That Negroes Accept a White Teacher, Which is Promptly Resented by the Courageous Blacks. Below we publish a letter from one of Kansas' true and tried men who believes in manhood, not color. believes in one God, one heaven and one blood, let him prove it by the interpretation of the law. He is right. If the prejudiced white man will continue to override the law and common decency by forcing separate schools in cities and towns of the class Columbus is in, and which the law forbids, the colored patrons should demand that the law be enforced by bringing mandamus proceedings in the Supreme Court. There are some white men who think they can do as they please to colored people without the colored people remonstrating, and there are some colored people who sit idly by and let the whites do as they please. As long as a community is largely made up of this class, there will be trouble always in store for the good and thrifty citizens. There are too many cheap white and colored men now in certain communities for those who want to prosper. Let all good people get together, stand together and fight together for the good of all. We hope that there are enough good white people in Columbus to see that justice is done in this matter. The very idea of a set of white men making gods of themselves and pronouncing a people they robbed and debauched for three hundred years as dogs and inhuman, and do not want them to go to the same public school, paid for by the taxpayers, with their children is worthy only of emanating from the smallest oakbree brain. Yet a white man or woman is not too good to teach these same colored children. We see no difference in a white educator and a colored one. If one is good enough to teach, why not the other? We think there are thousands of Negro teachers competent to teach white children and vice versa. Let the whiteman, not only at Columbus, but at every other place learn this. There ought to be no separate schools anywhere, much less at Columbus and the law of Kansas is expressly against such actions. We say to the colored people of Columbus to send their children to the school in their respective districts and if the white teachers refuse to admit them bring mandamus proceedings through the Supreme Court. The time is now at hand to test the white man's false religion. If he FOOD FOR THOUGHT! Abe Henderson Presents a Few Thonghts Worthy Careful Study. The question which confronts us now is: Will the black man survive or live through all the prejudice and persecution which he has to face at the present time? I will answer in the affirmative, because there is such a law in nature as the survival of the fittest. Persecution and prejudice will not annihilate any nation of people or principle which God would have to live or exist upon the face of the earth. The Jews were persecuted in Egypt for 430 years and their persecution was of the very worst kind. Their children were ordered put to death at birth, yet the Hebrews multiplied the more. They outlived Pharaoh and his government and are living today. They are, too, a mighty power in the believes in one God, one heaven and one blood, let him prove it by the interpretation of the law. We now wait and watch to see the outcome. Oh, white man! stop your hypocrisy and deceit. Let all be fair to one another.—N. CHILES. J. E. HOBSON WRITES. We also sorry to say that the colored people here are somewhat undecided on the school question. However, the majority of them are not going to sit supinely down and have a white teacher to instruct or act as instructor for their children, as we have a separate building. If our children are to betaught by a white teacher, then they will go to the white school in their respective wards. What we want, as long as our schools are separated, is a colored teacher, for such a teacher will instill more race pride in our children than they will get from a white teacher. We have had colored teachers for the past five years, although one or two of them did not give general satisfaction. But there are good ones to be had. We venture to say that there will be less promotions, if any, from the colored school to the County High school under awhite teacher than there would be under a colored teacher. Our schools began this week, and all the colored people, except three, who had children of school age took their children to the white schools. The superintendent said that he was not going to accept them and didn't that he cared nothing for what the law said. So we brought our children back home and are not going to send them anywhere else. We are going to take a decided stand to see if our state law don't have a little something to say about how much be cares. Nearly all of us are taxpayers, are loyal to our state and country, and we are not going to agitate or permit any unlawfulness, but as our nature, we want the law enforced. We have the right to look well for the betterment of our children and that we intend to do or have the grit and manhood to try. We have had just a few promotions from the separate colored schools to the County High school, but we believe with white teachers for our children in a separate school there will be still less. We are not discouraged, as we have some white friends here who will assist us in getting our rights, and they are not all of the g. o. p. either. —J E. Hobson. financial world. This was because God judged the Jews more fit to live than their persecutors, and no persecution or prejudice will annihilate a nation of people or principle which is fit to live or exist. This has been true in all ages of the world. A people may be caused to suffer, and suffer as much as the Negro has suffered in this country, as much as the Jews suffered in Egypt, yet God will not suffer them to be annihilated by their persecutors if they are a fit people to live. Despite prejudice and persecution the Negroes, like the Jews, are multiplying as the sand of the sea shore. The Negro race is the only race in America that is increasing the population by natural process, the increase of the white race being by foreign immigration, and this too, in the face of the suffering and deprivation through which we have gone. We have been robbed and cheated, and murdered by the thousands, and beside all this the doors of industry are closed in our face. The "Jim Crow" school law, the "Jim Crow" car law, the restriction of the restaurants and hotels and in some states the ballot box have been and are some of the impediments up against which we are buffeted, and in many places, both North and South, the grave yard has been denied us. The only doors that stand ajar for the Negro are the gates of heaven and hell, and if it were possible, some white man would entice the Almighty to shut us out of heaven, but all other nations and even the scavengers of other nations are invited to partake of the good things of this country—everybody and anybody except the Negro of America. He is refused a fair chance in life and is shut out; yet he has lived through it all and has improved his general condition by improving his mind. He was liberated and left as it were naked and witout a handful of seed corn to plant and not an acre of land to have planted it in if he'd had it; not a horse or a mule or a plow in all the world; he did not have a house to sleep in and not a dollar did he have with which to pay rent; he did not have a tree to stand under to protect him from the rain; he was left in ignorance as dark as midnight in Hades, because it was a crime punishable by law before the war for any one to learn the Negro how to read or write, and yet, for all this, he has reduced his illiteracy 45 per cent. in one generation. I do not wish to say much about the treatment of the Negro in this country, but to show that persecutions and prejudice will not annihilate him, for he is here to stay. The abalitionists of this country started out with a principle backed up by God and that principle was opposed by those who were against freedom. They fought for it every where and in every concealed way that could be thought of. Men and women wrote and spoke against it in all parts of the country. The Negro's friends were persecuted in the most cruel manner. Some of them had their printing presses destroyed; some of them were dragged through the streets; John Brown was hanged; Charles Sumner was struck down in the United States senate; Abraham Lincoln was shot down and the South spent nearly everything she possessed and lost many thousands of her choice sons fighting against a principle that was just and right, and the South lost the fight. The principle for which the abolitionists held triumphed, because it was just and right. Whatever that ought to live will live and receive recognition of the best people, and all the persecution and prejudice that can be poured upon it will not exterminate it. Its cause may suffer, but it will never die. This is history, and it is true in all stages of the human family. The Negro has undergone persecutions in this country for more than 270 years and is by no means annihilated and be never will be, and those who hope to see that day will die without a sight. If God had not desired the black skin people to live He would not have put them on earth. We are here and here to stay. We are all of one flesh and one blood, if the 15th verse of the third chapter of the first epistle of John is true, what will become of our white brethren? It says, "Who soever hateth his brother is a murderer and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him." If this be true our white brother will be found wanting. I cannot stop here now. All the nations of the earth that have gone down since the fall of Adam went down under the ruins of immorality and no people were ever elevated through immorality. There are just two things that will keep us favor with our God, CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT NUMBER 35. JEWETT MAY SUGCEED ROCH! Ex-Warden of the Penitentiary is Highly Spoken of as a Gubernaorial Possibility. Warden E.B.Jewett retired from his position at the State Penetentiary at Lansing, Kansas, September 1. He has made one of the best the state has ever had and it was through him that the institution was made a self paying institution and saved thousands of dollars in the pockets of the farmers of Kansas. He has also made a success of the brick plant and some of the best pressed brick in the state is turned out from that institution which is being used in various other institutions of the state. The officers and prisoners of the institution will regret very much to see [Picture of a man with a mustache and a bow tie.] HON. E. H. JEWETT. Mr Jewett and his family leave, and the state will lose a good financial business manager as he held the institution high. From what we gleem it is rumored that his friends are going to appoint him nominee for Gov. for, 1906. He is a resident of the seventh district 'his home being at Wichita which is the fighting district of this state. He will be one of the most favorable candidates in the race. He will not be constituted as a candidate but his friends will force him in the race. The Deed of a Real Onery White Man! C. Dyson, who is the owner of the property at 717 Topeka avenue, which has been occupied by Nick Chiles as a residence for some time past, has brought ejectment proceedings against Chiles, and alleges that he has failed to pay his rent and that he desires him to move on. This is the property that was rented to Chiles some time ago over the protests of the people living in the block, who claimed that they did not want him as a neighbor. It is up to Nick now to either move or pay rent. The above clipping was taken from the Topeka State Journal of August 22. This goes to show how desperate and disagreeable some white people can get when they have to do business with colored people. This gentleman, Mr. Dyson, became sore because he could not force us to pay a month's rent in advance, and having nothing else to do he resorted to this disreputable method. We agreed to pay him for the time we were to remain in the house, which was only fifteen days, but he tried to force us to pay the whole month's rent. As we are now moving in our new home recently purchased on the Governor's square, we do not purpose to be held up by this greedy landlord. For this act of his he will not only be out of his fifteen days' rent, but the costs in court. This, we guess, will teach him the lesson that he should not disturb THE PLAIN-DEALER, and when he comes in contact with other colored men he will have some idea of affairs and will know that we are able to resist any insult which may be heaped upon us. NICK CHILLS. BOYNTON, I. T. Ham, in these parts, is not only keeping up in business progress, but he is ahead in some things. Our own Dr. Alston and Attorney R. E.

The supreme grand session of the Knights of Pythias convened in Pittsburgh, Pa., last week and was one of the largest assemblies that ever met in that city and the largest and most successful meeting of the order. The reports of committees showed an increase in membership in the past two years of 25,568, making a total of 70,000 Knights in the United States. Over 1500 new lodges have been added to the roll in the state of Indiana and a large increase also in membership in the local lodges in that state. An increase in membership in the Court of Calanthe is also reported. There was one of the largest parades ever held in Pittsburgh, and the banquet on Friday night was a grand and glorious climax to this grand session. The next session will be held at Louisville, Ky., in 1907. The Pythian temple was not definitely settled as to where it is to be erected, but Indianapolis seems to have the advantage. There were several competing prize contests, the first of them being won by the Cincinnati team; St. Louis, second, and Springfield, Ohio, third. There were other contests given. The following supreme officers were elected for the next two years: S. W. Starks of West Virginia, supreme chancellor; S. W. Green of Louisiana, supreme vice chancellor; C. K.

SCHOOL OF TAILORING An Institution That is Supplying a Long tall Want for the Ladies of Kansas City and the West. The following likeness is that of Madam DeVaul Vincent of 1228 Walnut street Kansas City Mo. who has opened one of the most fashionable dress making parlors in Kansas City. She was born in Dayton, O., in '72, and received her early training in that state, later moving to Nashville, Tenn., where she attended Fisk University, graduating from that institution in '88. It was at all times the desire of Madam Vincent to become an expert seamstress, and immediately after leaving Fisk, she went direct to New York, where she took up the S T. Tailoring West in, completing the same a few months thereafter. She also completed systems in Chicago and Kansas City, and can easily boast of being one of the most thoroughly experienced tailors in the West. Madam Vincent is a thorough race woman and seeing the need of efficient seamstress among our young women, opened a school at her parlors last year and a class of ten were successful in receiving their diplomas. Out of the M. MADAM MINNIE DE VAUL VINGENT. ten graduates, six of them are now earning a nice living at their trades and the other four will be given lucrative positions within the next ten days. Madam Vincent reopens her school this week and it is hoped that more of our young women will take advantage of this splendid opportunity. That every lady should be able to cut, fit and make her own gowns goes without saying. The time has passed where one wishing to master the art must apprentice herself to to a modeste or pick up what ideas she can in fashion papers and from friends. Keeping pace with the various technical schools comes the ladies tailoring with its expert instructor who teaches in a practical manner every branch of the art. Whether the student wishes the instruction for her own use in cutting and making garments or wishes to qualify herself to go into business or take a position as cutter, filter or designer, we have courses of instruction that fit her individual case. JUITION. The price of the entire course is $2500. Fifteen dollars for the course in dress cutting and the system, and $10 for three months instruction in sewing and dressmaking. When you take into consideration that you will make a beautiful gown while taking the course that would cost you the price of tuition to have made, you will see the price of the course is very low. We cordially invite you to visit the school, investigate for yourself the work being done. Special course in sewing twenty days $5.00. DECREES OF FASHION PRETTY AND CORRECT THINGS TO WEAR. Bleuse or Shirt Waist Suitable for All Materials—Skirt With Shirred or Plain Yoke—Velvet Ribbon Trimming—Hints for the Home. Popular Separate Blouses. Again and again it has been prophesied that the separate blouses must be put one side, but an yet practical women will not give them up. The inbetween blouses, dressy enough for the theater or luncheons, but high necked and long sleeved, seem to get prettier and prettier. The loveliest of them all are made of those exquisite flowered silks—with shadowy flowers that fade in out of the background in so artistic a way. Those exquisite soft crepes with flower prints are charming draped and trimmed with tiny hand-run tucks, or puffigs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon failes, in exquisitely soft shades of pink, or blue, or violet, make up into beautiful blouses. But, besides silk, soft fine woolen stuffs—mostly white, are being used a great deal. Albatross, silk and wool stuffs, soft wool crepes and a dozen others are made up into as attractive blouses, in their way, as the silks are in thelrs. Magnificent Evening Coats. One of the novelties of the season in the way of an evening coat is cut on the lines of a mandarin's coat, richly embroidered in colors and gold thread and lined throughout with Chinese sable. This sable is even rarer than the Russian fur and is less expensive. It has a very long nap and is in two distinct colors, a rich mouse gray near the pelt and cinnamon brown at the tip. Among the newest evening coats are those made of flowered, satins and silks. They are quite full around the skirts and profusely decorated with lace and touches of fur. WHILE THE TEA DREWS Bolero lines, to be at all modish, must cling close to the figure. One handsome black velvet gown had appliqué of white kid for trimming. Moleskin will certainly be worn by those who purchased garments thereof last winter. Broad bows of pink and blue velvet, covered with glittering sequins, are shown for the hair. A questionable fad is a slender watch chain encircling the waist and suspending the watch in front. Silk belts that match the gown are draped tight without buckle, delineating the suppleness of the waist. There was never a more favorable time to get out odd bits of old trimming and use them to good advantage. Narrow toes have broadened and wide toes have narrowed and the compromise is a sensible and pleasing width. Sloupe or Shirt Wool This shirt waist will be found most excellent for all the waistings of the season, cotton, linen, silk and wool, and is as smart as it is simple, besides suited stout figures well, there being no greater mistake extant than the theory that such are at their best in plain waists. The wide tucks at the front that give ample fullness below the stitchings, and the broad box plait at the center, are both new and desirable, and combine most satisfactorily with the plain back. The model is made of cheviot white with lines of blue, and is worn with a blue lines stock. But this last can be anything one may prefer, or can be omitted altogether in favor of ribbon tied in a big bow, although it really is admirable. 100 able both for this special waist and as a model for the odd ones of which there can never be too many. The waist is made with fronts and back that are fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams, and is gathered at the waist line, the back being drawn down smoothly, the front made to blouse over the belt. The sleeves are the accepted once of the season, and are finished with straight cuffs, and the shaped stock finishes the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6½ yards of inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 64 inches wide, with 1½ yard of any width for stock. Ward of Chicago House Show An attractive and elaborate, white grown in Italian lawn and late summer, grown at the Chicago house show, had marrow pointed bodies girdles and above the girdle were puffs of feathers and the material, which fitted the tight fitting lining perfectly. This is tended to the line of a yoke, where a lace bertha was set about the shoulders. The sleeves were made of puffs of the lawn and lace and ended at the elbow. The hats worn at the horse show were very elaborate, the Gaine borough. Reynolds and Victorian styles predominating. Black hats with colored plumes are much in evidence. Velvets are the rage for evening coats. There are several kinds, and liberty and chiffon velvets are deemed the most desirable.—Chicago Record Herald. Misses' Skirt with Shirred or Plain Yoke. Full skirts that fall in soft, graceful folds appear to gain in favor day by day and are peculiarly becoming young girls. This one can be gathered at the upper edge to form pull shirrings, or once only and joined as a contrasting yoke, but in either case the fullness is made to form how ```markdown ``` plaits at the lower edge. The model is made of embroidered batiste, with a band of heavy lace appliqué, but all the pretty soft stuffs—silk, wool, cotton and linen—are equally appropriate. The shirred yoke is much like and is always pretty when the figure is slender, but when, as often is the case in young girls, additions, built at the belt is to be avoided, the plain yoke made of lace or of other fancy material is to be preferred. The skirt is cut in one circular piece, straight lengths of the material being sewed together to give the necessary width, and when shirrel is arranged over the foundation that also serves for the plain yoke when shirrings are not used. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6½ yards 22 inches wide, 5 yards 27 inches wide or 2½ yards 44 inches wide, with 4½ yards of applique and ½ yard of all over lace when yoke is used. A Pretty Fall Fashion. A pretty fashion which has been started of late is that of wearing cochades of colored velvet or ribbon, on on the left side of the corrage rather high up, and the other on the right side at the waist line. They are large and are generally of a contrasting color to that of the gown with which they are worn. Rosettes of burnt orange velvet make an exceedingly pretty accompaniment to a smar. after noon gown of brown plisse chiffon.

Lemon juice will sometimes remove the stains. When winds blow and there is frost in the air put handkerchiefs, collars, cuffs and all small articles in the wash to dry in a pillow case.

The hat scarf differs from the veil in that it is wound about the hat, never over the face. New scarfs are of lace in black, white and colors with embroidery in self color and contrasting colors. Ribbons of all descriptions are to be used upon the new hats. Among the new ribbons are the plaids, theoral, the moire and double-faced curries, satin and taftas. The high crows will load in the large hats, the Directoire and the Gainesborough being the most popular. The English round hat will be a favored hat this season. Wrinkle About Portions. To prevent portieres catching underneath the door when opened quickly, grow a small ring (such as we are used for picture frames) into the center of the door frame, to this fasten a blind cord sufficient to reach to bottom of curtain. Put another ring to the center of the door at the top, around the cord through and fasten at the bottom of the curtain, and as the door is opened so the curtain rises. ```markdown ``` LIVE! STOCK Good Feed Rack. Last spring we published a description of a feeding rack to be made with or without trough, which plans were furnished us by a subscriber whose patents on the rack had expired and who had no further use for the plans. Mr. Ira I. Nixon, a prominent stock man of Dowitt county, Illinois, writes concerning this plan as follows: "I have added a trough all around the rack floored to the outside of posts and used pieces 1½ feet by 3 inches nailed on out side of posts, which catch what would waste if the trough was not there. I have built mine of 3x4's where this man used 3x4's for posts, which makes it very strong. I have used oak lumber, and I think I have the best rack I ever saw for shock corn, straw, hay, or ear corn, as ear corn or ground feed can be fed all around in the trough, which is forty two feet long and large enough to feed a car load of cattle. If built with 2x4's you will be compelled to use one inch longer bolts than this man has in his rack where the 2x4's are bolted together. My rack has 2x4's for the bottom bolted full width of rack and one on each end to hold the floor. I have used $ \frac{1}{2} $x4-inch stuff for slats instead of 1x6, and placed them eight instead of six inches apart. "I am feeding cotton seed meal with ground oat meal and will give you my results when cattle are shipped out. I am feeding 100 head, and I never saw cattle do better or look nicer." Any changes in the original plan will of course necessitate corresponding changes in the bill of material, but as originally planned and as shown in the cut the following materials are required for the rack sixteen feet long: Two pieces 2x8 16 feet long; 3 pieces 7x8. 14 feet; 4 pieces 2x6, 18 feet; 2 pieces 2x4, 14 feet; 1 piece, 2x4, 12 feet; 2 pieces 1x6, 18 feet; 2 pieces 1x6, 16 feet; 5 pieces 1x6, 14 feet; 9 pieces 1x12, 16 feet; 1 piece 1x18, 14 feet; 56 pieces, 1x3, 4 feet; 4 wood screws, 8 inches long; 4 bolts ⅓ 12 inches; 4 bolts ⅓ 7 inches; 16 bolts, ⅓ 5 inches; 0 bolts ⅓ 4 inches; 8 bolts ⅓ ⅓ ⅓ inches; 8 pounds 8 penny wire nails; washers for all bolts; 4 pounds 10 penny nails. —Wallace's Farmer. Working Brood Mares. Some of the leading horse breeders of the country never put their brood mares in harness. They provide exercise in other ways in order to keep the stock in vigorous health. As a rule these breeders have extensive grass paddocks, into which the mares are turned for several hours each day throughout the winter season Horse breeders who neither work their mares nor turn them out daily invariably get a small proportion of increase. Some foals are lost immaturely, and others are born so weak that they die soon afterward. Most horse breeders, especially those of long experience, prefer that mares in foal should have regular exercise in the form of light work, but jerking and straining should be avoided under all circumstances. For best results it is a good plan to use three horses for work that would be required of two under ordinary circumstances. This is not done at an additional expense of one-third, because three horses will do more work than two, if the speed alone is considered. Then it often happens that plows and cultivators may be set an inch or two deeper and the extra work thus accomplished is worth a great deal, although it may not show on the surface. A man can drive three horses faster than two and rest less at the end of the row. Using Good Rams. While looking over some large flocks in Central South Dakota we find too many who do not appreciate the use of a first class ram. We have recently seen a bunch of 600 ewes whose lambs alone would have brought at least $500 or more, had a good pure bred ram been used. Feeders do not want them at hardly any price and the ewe lambs are not fit to keep as breeders. When one looks at these things from any point of view it is a puzzle to know why so many sheep raisers continue to carry on the business in such a careless manner. A good even lot of lambs are always in good demand, while poor ones are not wanted at all.—Northwestern Agricultural. Selection of Stock. A medium sized male with good fair sized females of good constitutional vigor and mature age will do far better than the largest males with the smallest females. The wise farmer always selects the very best corn or grains of all kinds for feed; equal care should be given the selection of breeding stock in turkeys. The best raised on the farm should be kept for producers, and the most should be kept in mind that turkey hems, of the best quality in their second or third year of laying make the best, producers. The medium pigs, well formed hems that have good strong hems and constitutional vigor are the ones to select for breeds — Wallace's Furrow. al IK —F aN > eR 2 Pescosar ee “Hesling-tn’ Trees, Boveral correspondents ask about “heeling-In” trees Some do not know what is meant by !t, and others do amet know how to do it, The follow- ing explicit directions are from “Green's Amateur Fruit Grower,” @ book that should be owned by every oaes who grows fruit of any kind, or who contemplates growing It “Heeling In” 1a a term used to dee ignate the temporary burying of the roote of trees or plants in earth of other material, If the trees are to be moved again In a few days a very Jight covering will be sumcient; but if they are to remain several weeks amuch care should be taken to do the 0 Lie C iS MESA Ge hte Se te trae eee 5 ‘work well.

Perhaps one market was recelticg threefourths of the ship ments from our Canadian growers, and hundreds of smaller markets throughout Ontario were almost bare ef supply.

There is an axiom about this which we belleve will hold good, namely, “The more good fruit put into a mar ket the greater will be the consump flow and the better the prices in the end," while no doubt the reverse of this statement is equally true.

The patls took clean when they are taken dows to be used for milking purposos aad the milk in the pails that have bese hanging there looks as cleau as any other milk, The paila are hung tes high up to catch any visible dirt.

Most milk producers now know that milk must be quickly cooled in sum mer to increase Its keeping power, but many do not know thal the proo asa is also necessary In winter, Mow that make a business of delivering milk know that at certain times te winter they have as much trouble with milk aouring as they do in the summer. The cooling of mlJk in the winter should be done in exactly the same way as !t js fo summer} namely, by placing the milk In cans in tanks of cold water as soon as the milk 1s drawn from the cons In the winter ice and snow may be easily obtained for reducing the temporature of the water fn the tank. Aa this te entirely without expense thero is ne good reason why !t should not be done. Milk for all purpores will thes keep very much Jonger than if It t not cooled after being drawn. Chapped Teats and Udders. As spring comes and the cows are turned out to pasture and lay around en the damp ground many times there ts considerable trouble with thelr teats and udders becoming chapped from coming in contact with the damp earth.

We notice that a new paper has recently been established in the city of Leavenworth, Ks., known as the Leavenworth Post. It is an evening daily, conducted by the famous cartoonist, Albert Reed, and we must say that this is one of the best equipped offices in the state. The people take readily to the paper and the circulation is increasing rapidly. This paper will be a great help to the business men, and is one of the long felt wants in that city. Though the paper is republican in politics, it will not depend upon that party wholly, as it will be a little independent. The funeral of Mr. Jno. Sawyer, who died Wednesday of last week at Christ hospital, was held Sunday afternoon. He was born in 1862 at Greensborough, Alabama, and moved to Topeka in 1881. He took up the work of a plumber and continued at the same until he became a master at the plumbing trade. He was a thorough going and prosperous young man, and he became toreman of the firm for which he worked and had charge of all the contracts entered into by the firm for plumbing in almost all of the depots on the Santa Fe system from Topeka to Albuquerque, N. M. He was a member of the local union of plumbers, of the Elks and the Knights and Ladies of the Orient. John Sawyer was highly respected and loved by all who knew him. He owned a beautiful home east of the cemetery, which he was just completing. He was married to Mattie Ellis Jan. 7, '87, who survives him. They were very much devoted to each other. Mr. Sawyer made good money and used it judiciously and accumulated properly rapidly. We hope that other of our young men will follow the example left by this prosperous young man and try to accumulate something. The funeral was held at the O. M. K. church, Rev. J. M. Rivers officiating. AL BROWN DEAD One of the saddest deaths that has occurred among our citizens for sometime, was the passing of Mr. Al Brown in Waterloo, Ia., which occurred Thursday of last week. The young man had been ailing a long time but his iron nerve kept him upon his feet, and at the time of his death was en route with the Mahara Minstr Is. He was known through out the United States and Canada as "king of the slack wire" having traveled with the best colored shows that was ever put on the road. He has also played the leading vaudeville circuits, and all the best parks in the East. Al Brown was reared in Topeka and went into the show business when a mere boy. He was a musician of rare ability which made his services all the more valuable. He was kind-hearted, a true friend and at all times a gentleman. He was about twenty-seven years of age and leaves a wife, who is ill in New York and a mother, Mrs. Mary Brown of this city, and a host of warm friends. His remains were brought to this city, and the funeral held from the First Baptist church, conducted by the Rev. C. G. Fishback, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church. Intermert in the Topeka cemetery. Mr. Brown was a member of the Burial League of the United States, for which Stonestreet and Hamilton are official undertakers. He had been a member only a snort time, yet the organization gave him a nice burial, thus saving his widowed mother considerable worry and expense. Miss Katherine Harris, who was injured by the explosion at the Lawrence Pantatorium yesterday afternoon, died at 4 o'clock this morning at the home of Cy Richardson. Miss Harris was a great sufferer during her last hours, and welcomed death as a relief. The death of this estimable young lady has caused much sorrow in this town. She was universally liked, popular and deserving. She worked hard and was polite in her business dealing. She didnt make a parade but was one of her race who never failed to do her duty and thus won respect regardless of race or color. Miss Harris lived in Topeka, and the body was taken there this morning. She was 26 years of age and had lived in this city for three years. The death of this young girl is one of the sad things of the year. She was taken in the prime of health and while doing the work her hands tound to do. It is such girls who enrich life and do something worth the while. She was never conspicuous, but she was always faithful, loyal, and did with her might what her hands found to do. There is nothing butkind words for the bright girl whose life was so suddenly taken. The life of this girl was rich in the things that count. She believed in work, and did uncomplainingly what she found to do. She never heard of a social problem, probably, and yet she lived a life that would remove race distinctions and cause people of all classes and conditions to respect her. She was hard working and in work she found the salvation of her race. She did what she could and her life was valuable in showing that there is a place for everybody who is worth while and who do their best. The respect shown in her death is a tribute to the womanhood that has gone. People knew her and in death they sorrowfully pay tributes of respect to her worth and feel gratified that she was able to do so much for the world.—Lawrence Daily World, Wednesday, September 6, 1905. On Tuesday afternoon the news reached Topeka of a dreadful accident which happened in Lawrence, as a result of which Miss Katie Harris was fatally burned, and two young men badly injured. Miss Harris was well and most favorably known in Topeka, and many people hesitated to believe the sad news. Yet it was true. Miss Harris died within twenty-four hours, and her remains were brought to this city. her funeral took place Thursday afternoon at St. Simon's church and was attended by a large number of sympathizing frierds. THE PLASM DEALER extends sympathy to the bereaved mother, sisters and brother.

It displays very little loyalty to his country to bear a superintendent of a public school say that he cares nothing for the law, but this is what our superintendent says in regard to the rights of the colored patrons of this city. And it is also faintly suggested that the colored people are liable to be run out of town simply because they want to see the law enforced in this school matter. We have given him to understand that there are some true blue white citizens here who will not stand for such foolishness and outlawry. And none of the colored people are going tolerate any such act. We have lived here or rather this has been our home for twenty-six years and this is the first time any such expressions have been made. This shows the class of white people that is infesting the state. They are not Kansans, and just as soon as we show them that they are not living in Mississippi or Texas, it will be better for all concerned. Rev. D. Robinson preached two able sermons at the Mt. Zion Baptist church Sunday Prof. J. E. Pinley was a visitor in our city last Saturday. He was on his way to Woir City to take charge the colored school. OMAHA, NEB. H. V.

Joun Harrison, Junction City, Kan. STATEHOOD! They Ask That no Disc#imi- nation Be Made in Okla- homa and Indian Territory, Statement of correction: In your paper of Aug. 25th in ¢he column containing news items from Vinita is the following—"'H. F. Watson, 8. L. Hill, M, A. Sorrell and P. Picket attended the double statehood con- vention at Muskogee as delegates.” The four gentlemen named were elected as delegates to a convention at Muskogee, but it was «joint Negro single stavehood convention, composed of delegates from Okla- homa and Indian Territory. It was exolusively a Negro statehood convention, called and controlled by Negroes, It was the ablost con- vention ever held by Negroes in this country, because it was compostd of ome of the best brain of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, who met in jointesession and adopted raaobutions which would be a credit to any statehood convention, There was a double statehood coavention in session at Muskogee on Aug. 21, the same day the Negro statehood convention, but the Vinita delegates do not wish to bo stamped with the guilt of attending euch a one sided affair. There is nothing in double statehood for the Negro and Indian. The Democratic feaders of double statehood; followed by a few Indians allowed two Negeoes to sit inthe convention as delegates to be used asfish bait foe other Negrues to bite. Statehood acems to be the real issue in the Indiso Tesritory and Okiahoma. Seeing the situation as Idofcan not see where double statehood would betterthe condition of the poor Negro and pour Indian ifthe Indian Territory should be admitted as a separate state from Oklahoma, The Democra's who came to the Indian ‘Territory from Arkansas and Texas, who are pushing the double statehood idea, have an objectin view that will be benficial to them, but detrimentai tothe Negrues and full blood Indiana, For this reason jtappears tome that they have set about to adupt a part of the Texas and Arkansas constitutions to be used as abasis and frame for the constitution of the new state to be made out of the [ndian Territory, The Negro is being emiled at while he is selling hie land and the Indian is being patted on the back and fed on condensed milk until his tribal government passes into his- tory, andthen the Indian will be eschewed socially and politically the same as the Negro, 1 favor joint statehood with Okla: homa for thie reason. Oklahoma welibelphold the domination of the Arkansamers and Texans in check, and will see to it that the poor Negro aud Indian are given a chance, And, too, with Oklahoma we would be likely to havethe Kao- sasand Nebraska law to govern us instead of the laws of Arkansas and Texas. Ithink that it ie the duty of every citizen to etup for 2 moment ead think what is best for his future welfare, —M, A.Borretl, P.S—I herewith tender you a copy of theresolutions adopted at the Negro single statehood conven: ton, which are self-ezplaining ot the work of the convention. RESOLUTIONS, We, your committee on resolu. tions, begto submit the following repost: Whereas, The stgos of the times show thatthe mext session of the American Congress wil! take some action In giving statehood to Okla- homa and Indlan Territory, aod | who live la ths confines of Oklahoms Jand Indian Territory have not untl {this time had an oppotunity to reg: || ister their position on the questior J of statehood, and | Whereas, It bas been the policy jand custom of the civilized nations of the world to give public expres: sion of their views touching those intereets common to the entire citl. zenship of said nations, and since we form an important part of one of the worlds forenroat civilized nations, viz: the United States o: America, and aa such have interests identical with and common to the body patitic, and since there is now bemg agitated a great and importaat question which has become national in character, the solution of which is destined to effect our civic rights, viz; the queation of statehood for the Oklahoma snd Indian Territories, and as citizens of the territories above named, belog acquainted with their resources and the character and needs of their citizens, we represent that the combined area of the two territories of 90,400 aquare mbes; that the combiaed populatéon of the two territerics is one andone:| half million; that the soil is abund- ently rich in mineral wealth, sut- passing that of two thirds of the statesofthe Union and that the in-| telligence of the citizens will com: pare favorably with any of the states of the Union; that the wealth of the individual cithen is on a par with a majority of the states of the Untony and since we believe the two teeri- toriescombined into one state is amply fitted to assume the burdens ot statehood, therefore be it Resolved, That we favor joint and immediate statehood for Oklahoma andIn lian Territories; that we favor the passage ofthe Hamilton State- hood ball as being the safest guaran teeofthe civie rights ot all the citizens, and especially do we urge the passage of that clause of theaaid bill which refers to the suffrage of, all citizeas without regard to color of previous condition of servitude. Resolvad, That this organization resolve itself into a pesmanent organization for the purpose of arousing our people in the two territories to the importance of safe- guarding our political and civic rights, * That ths parmsnent organtzation be known asthe Negro Protective League of the Oklanoma and Indian Territories. That the permanent officers of this convention be declared the first officess of said league to serve for one year, Resolved, That we send one del- crate toCongress from the Indian Territory ana one from Oklahoma Torntory to be elected by this con-|, vention, and that the people of the}, various loaalities contribute for the}: expenses of eaid delegates. ‘That the chairman of the evecu-/ jive commuitgseelect two lecturers to] organize clubs in the two tereitories |, sad solicit means for the expenses |, of said delegates, aud the exeoutive | committee shabl allow the fees for|, said lecturora, Reaoivedt, That we commend the|| utterance of that brave aod noble| man, President Rovsevelt, who said that he believed the next session of Congress would make one great, grand state of Oklahoma and Indian Serritories, and that he believes in *Allmen up and no men down.” Committee—W, H, Twine, 8.T.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. they aro good religion and good morals. “Well,” says onc, “do you mean to sty that the Negro Is morally better than his white brother and will therefore survive him?” 1 do not, but Ido say that God has vot judged the Negro as being more immoral than his white brother or Me never would have prospered him laste has, nor would the Negro have lived under the galling and cruel peracoutions and maltrest- ment that he has endured, I am sure that the Negro is as high in morale as his white brother. Who ever heard of a band of Negrocs folding up atrain and robbing and killing the inmates, a thing that tedonein thiacountry, but not by Negroes. Who ever jheard of ga band of Negroes tearing up railroad tracks to ditchtwaing, killing hun- dreds of people, a thing often done inthis country, butnot by Negroes. Who ever heard of a band of black men robbing a bank? Who ever heard of a band of Negrdes taking a human being, a horse of a dog out into the woodsand binding him, in chains to a tree and buraing him, to death as a living sacrifies to the white man’s preyudice? This bar- becued crime is often committed in America only, but not by Negroes. The Negro is not found guilty of any of the crimes above mentioned and he will not alwaya play the part of afool. Hisday is coming and the white man will then need the friendehip of the Negro, It may be in a time of pesil, but there willcome atime. Jacob once had a good time at the expense of his brother, Esau, but there came ao time when Jacob dreaded to meet his brother. The slavea of this country will mect their masters in a place where the masters least expected and the meeting will be.a dreadful one. Josoph's brothers sold him to the Egyptians, but there came a tine when they were glad to have hia friendship. Now, the survival of the Negro must imply his religious fitness as welbas his moral, physical and ia- ellectual fitness. If aman‘ faith 8 incorrcet, it means that his 1e¢- igion is wrong, fora man’s religion onsiste of what he believes, and is morals consist of wht he duens nd if a man’s faith is wrong Iie norals willbe bad. [f, therefure, he Negro’s faith is correct hi vhite brother will never annihilate jim, because his system of faith ix oriect and brings him into a cloxe elationship with his God, and that neans help for the Negro; and, shoever God blesses no man or ation can curse, ALU, Haxpensos: PUBLICATION NOTICE.
