TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. President Roosevelt's Trip Through the White South Has Been Very Encouraging to the Colored People of That Section! Historical Society State House VOLUME VII. THE BLACK MAN IN AMERICA! The White Man's Policy to Belittle Him-Stands as a Barrier Against Rapid Progress, There is a disposition in this country to undervalue all that the Negro has done since and before the war to increase the wealth of the nation, and it seems to be the policy of the white man to count for naught the labor of the Negro in bearing the white man's burden for 240 years; seems to forget that the black man cleared the forests, built the homes, churches and the school houses for the white man, made the bread and paid for the college education of himself and his children; but now this merits us nothing, and the worst name that can be given and the worst treatment that could be accorded, close terms with hell and the devil, are our rewards, poured upon us without one lota of mercy. The black man has fought in every war that this nation has had and he did well his part, allowing his life's blood to be poured out like water upon the ground in the defense of the nation's honor and glory, only to be denied the most common right of a free man of the government for which he fought, bled and died, and this same govement now absolutely refuses to protect him in the exercise of his rights. He has appealed to this same government time and again for protection, but in vain. There fore thousands and thousands of black men have been murdered in this country, the home of the brave and the land of the free, because they are powerless to defend themselves, and because God made them black the Negroes are condemned by the whites, and no doubt many have condemned God for making a black man. And yet, in spite of all this condemnation, the Negro is not allowed to hold office in many parts of this country for fear of political domination, but just how the white man figures out this kind of a fear is a mystery beyond our comprehension, for God only knows where the pattern is to come from, for the black man is undefended by the government under which he lives, unprotected by the government to which he has been so loyal, both in the time of peace and in the time of war, and all manner hellish schemes are devised and practiced by the whites to check and retard the progress of the Negro. The chain gangs of the hellholes of Mississippi, the convict farms of Georgia and South Carolina, the peonage system of Alabama, and the general cussness of the entire South are obstacles up against which we are forced. It is said that one Mr. Fletcher Turner is the owner of a plantation in Alabama where Negroes are bought and sold as in the dark days of slavery, and that he has revived a brutal system of punishment on that plantation worse than hell itself, and it is also said that Allen Turner, the 17 year old son of this plantation boss, compelled two Negro men, at the point of his gun, to strip a young Negro girl, aged 16 years, and hold her down across a log until he struck her a hundred lashes with a buggy trace and then struck her over the head with the butt of his gun until she was dead. Now, this matter has come up before a local grand jury for an investigation, and six Negroes were put on the witness stand to testify as to how this girl, Sarah Nealy, came to her death, but Allen Turner TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER. 27, 1905. gave them to understand that if they testified against him before the grand jury they would not live to testify against him in court. So these six Negro witnesses were compelled to testify as Mr. Turner had advised them to do, and of course there was no evidence against the murderer and the brute went free, a gentleman. As in thousands of other cases, not a word has been published of this dastardly deed, neither in the North nor in the South, and our great government utters not even a protest nor asks the Goddess of Liberty to look down from her high pedestal upon the sin and iniquity of the South; but may the index finger of the all powerful God, who in His kingdom of never ending glory, watches over the destines of the teeming millions of human souls, guides the rain drops and directs the motion of the celestial worlds as they revolve in eternal brotherhood around His mighty throne, ever watch over us and protect us from an unjust treatment and the awful inhuman outrages that are being practiced against the black man in this country. Many of you, dear readers, will remember the awful fate of Postmaster Baker at Lake City, S. C., which is one of the outrages in this country that should never be forgotten. It was not many years ago that a mob of three hundred white hellions set fire to the home of Postmaster Baker, which was also the postoffice, and as he ran out was shot dead and fell forward in the flames, his baby was shot dead at its mother's breast, his daughter was run out into dark, and the government property was destroyed and for the destruction of this property the government offered a reward of $1500 for the arrest and conviction of any part of that mob. Seventy-three of them were arrested and three of them turned state's evidence, testifying as to how the plans were laid to kill Mr. Baker. Now, this matter came before a grand jury, but after the evidence had been beard in the case the jury disagreed, the mob let go and that was the last of it. A few months ago three Negroes were lynched in the neighborhood of It. Worth, Texas, two of them being burned at the stake, but not a word has been said condemning such hellish crimes, either from the state of Texas or the United States government or from the pulpits of this great civilized nation. No, not one word was said in behalf of justice for the Negro. But God has His own appointed time to do His will, and the white hellions and over riders of law will not forever be permitted to carry on their dastardly deeds without immunity. Negroes are being robbed every day because they are powerless to protect themselves. White men take advantage of this weakness of our people and make life hard for them at every point, causing the black man to work against both individual and organized opposition. Why do I say the black man is being robbed every day by his white brother? Because it is a fact that the white man who has taught the black man his religion and the golden rule will charge a black man from $5 to $10 more for a house to live in than was charged the white man just moved out, and he pays a black man from $10 to $20 less than he pays the white man to do the same work. This is the way the white man's golden rule is worked toward the Negro. The last fact above stated would cause one Negro to lose from $15 to $20 per month or $240 per year or $2400 in ten years. And now, then, figure in 100 men at this rate, 1000, 10,000 or 100,000 and you can get some idea as to the extent CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT. WAS A GREAT DAY FOR TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE! WAS A GREAT DAY FOR TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE! President Roosevelt Visits Booker T. Washington's Great School—He Urges the White Man to Protect the Negro in Life and Property—Commends the Progress of the Black Man. President Roosevelt arrived in Tuskegee at 2:30 o'clock this morning. The city was beautifully decorated. A number of arches, the foundations of which were bales of cotton, had been erected and covered with bunting. The platform from which the president spoke to the people of the city was made from cotton in original bales, worth $40,000. The president's address was short and at its close he left for the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The president's train was brought directly into the grounds of the institute over its private tracks. From midnight until this morning great orrows of country people, white and black, were arriving from all sections surrounding Tuskegee. Amotley assortment or vehicles brought hundreds of persons. These were allowed to come into the institute grounds where the president saw the collection and seemed amused by the sight. The president was received by Principal Booker T. Washington and members of the institute board of trustees and faculty. He then entered a carriage made by the students of the school, drawn by horses raised at the school and driven by a student in school uniform. Other carriages, also made by the students, in which were seated other members of the president's party, followed. The party proceeded immediately to an elaborately decorated stand. From this point he viewed the educational and industrial parade, upon the preparation of which the students and faculty have been at work several weeks. NEGRO STUDENTS ON PARADE. This parade was headed by the institute band, led by Bandmasters Elbert B. Williams of the Ninth United States cavalry, who had been detailed to Tuskegee by the War department. Then came 1,500 students of the school in two divisions the young men uniformed in Lime suits with brass buttons, white gloves and cadet caps. The young women wearing blue dresses trimmed with red braid and wearing blue straw braid hats, followed, each bearing a stack of sugar cane, topped with a cotton boll, all raised in the school's agricultural experiment station. Immediately behind the students came sixty-one floats, representing the various phases of work of the academy department and the thirty-seven industrial departments of the school. After the parade had passed and the students, faculty and visitors were repairing to the chapel, the presidential party was driven about the grounds and shown the extent and scope of work being carried on by the students of the institute. The party was then taken to the chapel, where the students, led by the institute choir of 150 voices, sang a number of plantat on melodies. Principal Washington then presented the president in the following words: "This is a great day for Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute; too great too be described by words. We have gathered to hear but one voice; to see but one face. In presenting our guest to the students, teachers and citizens, I must not omit to express the gratitude felt by the people of the Tuskegee institute and by the people of both races in this section of Alabama for the honor which has been conferred upon them. That the chief magistrate of our beloved republic of 80 million people deemed it good and wise to include Tuskegee institute in his trip through the South and spend a few hours see- ing the work we are doing here, brings to the heart of every man and woman of our race in this country a degree of encouragement and inspiration which it is impossible for any American citizen not of our race fully to appreciate. "My friends, without further words of mine, I have the pleasure and the honor of presenting to you the President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt." The president in his address said: 'To the white population as well as to the black, it is of the utmost importance that the Negro be encouraged to make himself a citizen of the highest type of usefulness. It is to the interest of the white people that this policy be conscientiously pursued, and to the interest of the colored people that they fully realize that they have opportunities for economic development here in the South not now offered elsewhere. Within the last twenty years the industrial operations of the South have increased so tremendously that there is a scarcity of labor almost everywhere, so that it is the part of wisdom for all who wish the prosperity of the South to help the Negro to become in the highest degree useful to himself and therefore to the community in which helives. The South has always depended and now chiefly upon her native population for her work. Therefore in view of the scarcity not only of common labor but of skilled labor it becomes doubly important to train every available man to be of the most use, by developing his intelligence, his skill and his capacity for conscientious effort. Hence the work of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute is a matter of the highest importance to both the white man and the black man, and well worth the effort of both races alike in the South and in the North. Your fifteen hundred students are not only being educated in head and heart but also trained to industrial efficiency, for from the beginning Tuskegee has placed an emphasis upon the training of men and women in agriculture, mechanics and household duties. "Training in these three fundamental directions does not embrace all that the Negro or any other race need, but it does cover in a very large degree the field in which the Negro can at present do most for himself and be most helpful to his white neighbors. Every black man who leaves this institute better able to do mechanical or industrial work adds by so much to the wealth of the whole community and benefits all the people in the community. The professional and mercantile avenues to success are overcrowded; for the present the best chance of success awaits the intelligent worker at some mechanical trade or on a farm; for this man will almst certainly achieve industrial independence. "I am pleased, but not in the least surprised to learn that many among the men and women trained at Tuskegee find employment as leaders and workers among their own people, and that their services are generally sought by white people for various kinds of industrial work, the demand being much greater than the supply. Viewed from any angle, ignorance is the costliest crop that can be raised in any part of this union. "Every dollar put into the education of either white man or black man, in head, in hands and in heart, yields rich dividends to the entire community. Merely from the economic standpoint it is of the utmost consequence to all our citizens that institutions such as this at Tuskegee should be a success. But there are other and even higher reasons that entitle it to our support. In the interest of humanity, of justice and of self protection, every white man in America, no matter where he lives, should try to help the Negro to help himself. It is not only the duty of the white man but it is to his interest to see that the Negro is protected in property, in life and in all his legal rights. Every time a law is broken, every citizen has the moral tone of his life lowered; lawlessness in the United States is not confined to any one section; lynching is not confined to any one section, and there is perhaps no body of American citizens who have deserved so well of the entire American people as the public men, the publicists, the clergymen, the countless thousands of high minded private citizens who have done such heroic work in the South in arousing public opinion against lawlessness in all its forms and especially against lynching. I very earnestly hope that their example will count in the North as well as in the South for there are just as great evils to be warded against in one region of our country as in another, though they are not in all places the same evils. These men not merely serve a useful example in doing the task to which they set themselves, but give a lift to the cause of good citizenship throughout the Union. APPRECIATES THE WORK. "I heartily appreciate what you have done at Tuskegee and I am sure you will not grudge my saying that it could not possibly have been done save for the loyal support you have received from white people; for during the twenty five years of effort to educate the black man here in the misdt of a white community of intelligence and culture, there has never been an outbreak between the races, or any difficulty of any kind. All honor is due to the white men of Alabama to the white men of Tuskegee for what they have done. And right here let me say that if in any community a misunderstanding between the races arises over any matter infinitely the best way out is to have a prompt, frank and full conference and consultation between representatives of the wise, cool headed men among the whites and the wise, decent, cool headed colored men. Such a conference will always ten I to bring about a better understanding and will be a great help all around. Hitherto I have spoken oftenly of the obligations existing on the part of the white man, now let you remember on the other hand that no help can permanently avail you save as you yourself develop capacity for self-help. You young colored men and women, educated at Tuskegee, must by precept and example lead your fellows toward sober, industrious, law abiding lives. You are in honor bound to join hands in favor of law and order and to war against crime by men of your race for the heaviest wrong done by the criminal is the wrong to his own race. You must teach the people of your race that they must acutipulously observe any contract into which they in good faith enter no matter whether it is hard to keep or not. If you save money, secure homes and lead clean, decent, modest lives, you will win the respect of your neighbors of both races. Let each man strive to excel his fellows only by rendering substantial service to the community in which he lives. "The colored people have many difficulties to pass through but these difficulties will be surmounted if only the policy of reason and common sense is pursued. You have made real and great progress. According to the census the colored people of this country own and pay taxes on something like $100,000,000 worth of property and have blotted out over 50 per cent of the illiteracy. What you have done in the past is an indication of what you will be able to accomplish in the future under wise leadership. Moral and industrial education is what is most needed in order that this progress may continue. The race can not expect to do everything at once. It must learn to wait and bide its time; to prove itself worthy by showing its possession of perseverance, of thrift, of self control. The destiny of the race is chiefly in its own hands and must be worked out patiently and persistently on these lines. "Remember also the white man who can be of most use to the colored man is that colored man's neighbor. It is the southern people themselves who must and can solve the difficulties that exist in the South. Of course, what help the people of the rest of the Union can give them must and will be gladly and cheerfully given. The principal of advancement for the colored man in the South lies in his steady common sense short to improve his moral and material condition and to work in harmony with the white man in upbuilding the commonwealth. The future of the South now depends upon the people of both races living up to the spirit and letter of the laws of their several states and working out the destinies of both races, not as races but as law abiding American citizens." NUMBER 42. DOINGS AT WASHINGTON! Our Special Scribe Gathers a Few Interesting Notes for the Edification of Busy Readers The shrill blasts of whistles, booming of canon, the loud ching of thousands of Dixie's enthusiastic people, have made up the warm and hearty character of the greeting that President Roosevelt has received during his journey through the Southland from the heart of the people he has evidently won. The tour of the president through this section of the United States is claimed to have considerable significance. It is being openly asserted in the newspapers and by politicians generally that the president has gone South in quest of support of the idea he wishes to have enacted into law by the government. This trip also has considerable significance as concern the colored people of the United States. Because of what has heretofore been thought to be the president's view on the race question, naturally his every word which in any way touches upon the race question is being watched with keen interest by both races. It is everywhere a pleasant incident to note with what joyous hearts and hearty enthusiasm the colored people in the South are greeting President Roosevelt, who has insisted no consistently and strongly for their manhood rights and that they should be given the "square deal" in all policies, political or otherwise, of the government. At Richmond, Va., the president met and shook hands with Giles B. Jackson, president of the Exposition Development Company, addressed a gathering of colored citizens, and showed much interest in the colored school children who were stationed along one side of the line of parade. At Raleigh, N. C., the president showed marked courtesy to Clarence B. Poe, who has dared, though the Southerner, to condemn lynching in a series of articles recently published in the Atlantic Monthly. The president also at this point gave his views upon the race question in the following terse sentence: "Help him if he stumbles, but if he lay down let him stay," which is the president's "square deal" policy for the American colored man. On Saturday at Jackaonville, Florida, President Roosevelt addressed the pupils of the Third Baptist Academy, this address being one of the broadest, most fair-minded, and unprejudiced that was ever delivered by a president to a colored audience in the South. It is evident that this trip of the president South will not be of very much value to the Southerner if he contemplated any change of the president's previous views in regard to the colored man, who the president still declares is "my colored fellow citizen," and this principle of citizenship and a "square deal" is all any honest, well meaning man, be he white or colored, can expect or is entitled to. It is reported that an organization has been perfected recently by representative colored men of the East and West having for its object the elimination of the federal office holder from the South and the preventing of office seekers from that section securing the desired plum. This, however, is not a new idea, for it has been agitated for some time in a tentative way, but the CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX. Local and Personal. Mr. Geo.

When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous system, centering in the brain. This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stomach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epilepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by soothing, strengthening and relieving the tension upon the nerves—not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills do not contain opium, morphine, chloral, cocaine or similar drugs: "Sick headache is hereditary in my family. My father suffered a great deal and for many years I have had spells that were so severe that I was unable to attend to my business affairs for a day or so at a time. During a very severe attack of headache, I took Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills and they relieved me almost immediately. Since then I take them when I feel the spell coming on and it stops it at once."

The 51st annual session of the Missouri conference convened at Higginsville, Mo, last week. Bishop A. Grant presided. There were eight five ministers who are members of this conference. The reports showed great gains over 1904 both in membership and finance. The session was held at St. James chapel of which Rev. A. H. Brooks is pastor. Much credit is due him for the success of the entertainment of the ministers and visitors. His estimable wife ably assisted him. Rev. Brooks has developed into a hog raiser. He has over $200 worth of young hogs on hand. Higginsville is a mining town and has a colored population of about from five hundred to seven hundred. They own two harbershops, a restaurant and two churches. They own their homes and seem to be getting along nicely, although there is room for improvement; if the people would take on a little hustling quality they could do much better. We did not wait for the adjournment of the conference, but were promised the list of appointments which has not reached us yet. It will appear next week. LINCOLNINSTITUTE. The first term of the scholastic year of 1905-06 has thus far proved a record breaker in the history of the institution. The enrollment to date, October 18, is 344, and every day adds to the number. Already it is has become necessary to divide classes because of their size and in some of them it will soon be necessary to make subdivisions. Students are here from California on the West, the Gulf of Mexico on the South, from Iowa and the Great Lakes on the North. The college department has enrolled more. One finds among the students of the college department John W. Allen, recently of Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Allen comes to Lincoln Institute through the advice of Mrs. Alice D. Carey of the Morris Brown college. Mrs. Carey was formerly a teacher in the Kansas City system of schools, and after visiting Lincoln Institute last year, was so favorably impressed with the management and character of the work that she determined to send here from time young men whom she thought of more than ordinary ability. Thus far there are five young men placed to her credit as members of the institute. Among the graduates of the class of '05, well placed as teachers, we find Miss Mildred Williams employed at home in Columbia. At Fulton one finds Homer Wilburn, valedictorian of his class. At Carbondale, Ills., William Thomas, principal with several assistants. Mr. Thomas' letter was of such high character that his Missouri state diploma exempted him from examinations. A recent issue of the New York School Journal contains an item, an excellent tribute to the character of the work that is being accomplished in Lincoln Institute.

PRINCIPAL TOpeka, Kas Dist. Phone 747 THE PRESIDENT The presidential party arrived at Jacksonville, Fla. Saturday morning, and was greeted by thousands of cheering citizens. After driving through the principal streets the party was driven to the Seminole club, where he made a brief address on good citizenship. He was then driven to the Negro Baptist academy, where he delivered a short address. Preceding his speech there was a brief ceremony in the assembly hall in which the students participated. They consisted in the singing of a number of songs written for the occasion. The last one, entitled "You Are Right, Teddy," caused the President to smile broadly. The president spoke as follows: "My friends, let me say what a pleasure it has been in driving along the streets to have the governor point out to me house after house owned by colored citizens, who by their own industry, energy and thrift had accumulated a small fortune and are spending it wisely. "Every good American must be interested in seeing every other good American citizen rise, help himself upward, so as to be better able to do his duty by himself and those dependent upon him, and by the state at large. "It seems to me that it is true of all of us that our duties are even more important than our rights. If we do our duty faithfully, in spite of the difficulties that o ercome, then sooner or later the rights will take care of themselves. What I say to this body of colored fellow citizens is just what I would say to any body of my white citizens. "What we need in this country is typified by what I have been shown today as having been done by people of your race. "We need education, morality, industry; we need intelligence, clean living and the power to work hard and effectually. No man interested, as every president must be in the welfare of all his fellow Americans could be otherwise than deeply pleased not only at the evidences of thrift and prosperity among what must be many hundreds of our numbers here in this city as shown by the homes that I have seen, but interested also in seeing an educational institute like this carried on as this institute evidently is carried on. The costliest crop for any community is the crop of ignorance. It is perfectly true that education in mind alone will not make a good citizen; but it is equally true that you cannot get the best citizen without education. "We need to have our people of every race educated as the principal said in his words of introduction, in Topeka Industrial and Educatio A School of Practical and Christian Training.

That is just as true for the white man as for the colored man. "It is true of every man. I was very glad to listen to the singing today. I like it all, including the last song. I wish I could have had a chance to listen to some of your educational exercises. I want to say a special word of acknowledgement to the school teachers, men and women alike, who are doing the work of education, and in saying that word I also want to point out this, it is absolutely essential that we should have people to do well in the professions but there is only a limited amount of room in the professions and there is almost an unlimited amount of room for men in agriculture and in the mechanical trades. "Do your very best to develop good teachers, to develop good preachers; preachers who shall preach to the colored man as it should be preached to the white man, that by their fruits you shall know them, and that the truly religious man is the man who is decent and clean in his private life; who is orderly and law-abiding; the man who hunts down the criminal and does all he can to stop crime and wrongdoing; the man who treats his neighbor well; who is a good man in his own family, and therefore a good man in the state. That is what we have a right to expect from the Christian leadership which we see in the churches. All honor to the teacher, all honor to the preacher, but remember it is perfectly impossible that the bulk of any people shall be teachers or preachers. "The bulk have got to be men engaged in the trades as mechanics, as wage workers, as farmers. Every man who is a good farmer, a thrifty, progressive, saving mechanic who owns his own house which is free from debt; who is bringing up his children well and keeping his wife as she should be kept, is not only a first-class citizen, but is doing a mighty good work in helping to uplift his race." Read and be wise, and above all read THE PLAINDEALER.

Last spring we published a description of a feeding rack to be made with or without trough, which plane were furnished us by a subscriber whose patents on the rack had expired and who had no further use for the plan. Mr. Ira I. Nixon, a prominent stockman 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 8 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 new 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 3x4's you will be compelled to use one inch longer bolts than this man has in his rack where the 3x4'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 1½x4-inch stuff for slats instead of 1x6, and placed them eight instead of six inches apart. "I am feeding cotton seed meal with ground cob meal and will give you my results when cattle are shipped out. I am feeding 100 head, and I now new 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 2x4, 14 feet; 4 pieces 2x4, 16 feet; 3 pieces 2x4, 14 feet; 1 piece, 2x4, 13 feet; 2 pieces 1x6, 18 feet; 2 pieces 1x6, 18 feet; 5 pieces 1x6, 14 feet; 9 pieces 1x13, 16 feet; 1 piece 1x13, 14 feet; 56 pieces, 1x8, 4 feet; 4 wood screws, 8 inches long; 4 bolts %x9 inches; 4 bolts %x7 inches; 16 bolts, %x5 inches; 18 bolts %x4 inches; 8 bolts %x7 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 an 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 forking 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 on 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. Uaing 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 raises 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 Agriculturist. 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 grales of all kinds for seed; 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 fact 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 sized, well formed hems that have good strong bones and constitutional vigor are the ones to select for breeders. — Wendell's Farmer. : 4s Paretes wives ad WM, B. JACKSON, MM. D.

Last spring we published a description of a feeding rack to be made with or without trough, which plants were furnished us by a subscriber whose patents on the rack had expired and who had no further use for the plants. Mr. Lee I. Nixon, a prominent stockman of Denitltt 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 places 11 feet by 8 inches nailed on out side of posts, which catch what would waste if the trough was not there. I have built mind of 3x1's where this man used 3x1's for posts that makes it very strong. I have used oak lumber, and I think I have the best rack I ever saw to shock corn, straw, hay, or ear corn. As ear corn or ground feed can be fed all around in the though which is forty two feet long and large enough to fee, a car load of cattle. If built with 3x4s you will be compelled to use one inch longer bolts than this man has in his rack where the 3x4s are bolted together. 3x4 rack has 3x4s for the bottom belved and width of rack and one on each end to hold the floor. I have used 1x4 inch stool for slats instead of 1x7, and placed them eight instead of six inches apart. "I am feeding cotton seed meal with ground cob meal and will give you my results when cattle are shipped out I am feeding 100 head, and I newswear 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 7x14 feet, 4 pieces 2x4, 16 feet; 2 pieces 2x4, 14 feet; 1 piece, 4, 12 feet, 2 pieces 16, 18 feet, 2 pieces 16, 16 feet, 5 pieces 2x6, 14 feet; 9 pieces 1x12, 16 feet; 1 piece 1x12, 14 feet; 56 pieces, 1x3, 4 feet; 4 wood screws, 8 inches long; 4 bolts 1x9 inches; 4 bolts 4x7 inches; 16 bolts, 3x5 inches; 9 bolts 4x6 inches; 8 bolts 3x4 inches; 8 pounds 8 penny wire nails, washers for all bolts; 4 pounds 10 penn) 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 outdocks, into which the mares are fitted 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 immature, 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 forking 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 on each 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 locks in Central South Dakota we and 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 beer used. Fooders do not want them at hardly any price and the ewe lambs are not at it to keep as breeders. When one books 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 Agriculturist. 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 born or grazed of all kinds for seed; 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 fact should be kept in mind that turkey hems of the best quality is their second or third year of laying make the best producers. The medium sized, well formed hems that have good strong bone and constitutional vigor are the ones in select for breeders — Wallace's Farmer DOINGS AT WASHINGTON. [CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.] perfection of the organization as it now stands has but recently been reached. It is stated that protest will be made to the president against the reappointment of Southern men and to defeat the aspirations of those who are candidates for places. It is claimed that these gentlemen will have the support of a good many white politicians and several senators and representatives west of the Mississippi river. A number of colored men are now holding ourive offices who, it is claimed, do not deserve them because they represent practically a disfranchised voting population which does not and in bringing about pretty success. Further, it is argued, that should colored men be accustomed to fill federal offices, they should be appointed from states where the colored man's vote counts for something in Republican victories. There are a number of prominent and influential colored men who it is claimed are connected with this movement, among them being G. N. Grisham, principal of the colored high school of Kansas City, Mo.; J. Milton Turner of St. Louis, former minister to Liberia; Arthur Lingston, a well known educator of St. Louis; Prof. Vernon, president of the industrial school at Quindaro, Kansas, and Harry Cummings, ex councilman of Baltimore. J. Milton Turner, who wishes to be Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, is about the only man who is a candidate for any public office. In fact, it is stated that it is not the purpose of these gentlemen to advocate the appointment of any particular candidate at this time, but it is their purpose only to place before the president the reason why no further offices should be given to colored men from Southern states, since these men are of little or no service to the Republican party. The claim that the political obligations of President McKinley's administration have been paid, and that the present Chief Executive is incumbered with no such obligation. It is known that Mr. Roosevelt is not insensible to the active part the colored man took during the last campaign, especially in Missouri, and that he wants to reward these services in some tangible way. He also expressed himself to Representative Burtholdt shortly after the election, but just what course he will pursue in the present situation is a matter of conjecture. This organization is claiming a victory for the East and West in the appointment of Harry D. Furniss of Indiana as minister to Hayt. They are also encouraged by the attitude of Postmaster General Cortelyou who, as chairman of the National Committee, is thought to be in record with the purposes of this organization. There is great rejoicing in the Republic in camp in Maryland because of the bolt of lavore Rayner, junior senator from that state, who, over a signed statement, declares that he will not support the infamous Poe amendment, and bitterly denounces Senator Arthur Pue Gorman, who he claims is using the amendment as a means to a personal end. With this recent withdrawal of Senator Rayner and the attitude of Governor Warfield on the question, the Republican party in Maryland is beginning to see victory dawning upon the horizon which has heretofore looked dark and discouraging. The respectable Democrats in Maryland are beginning to realize that "social equality" and Negro "domination" cry is a bugaboo of the the Gorman machine, held up to scare ignorant and prejudiced white men into the camp, and that the statement made by Secretary Bonaparte as to the white as well as to the colored men of the state was the logical and inevitable outcome of the Poe amendment if it was adopted by the state. A large class of the more intelligent element of the Democratic party in Maryland has abandoned the party and will support the Republicans on account of the Gorman machine, which they claim is overriding the good conscience and good principles of every respectable Democrat in the state. This and other instances of similar character are aiding the Republicans materially in carry forward the whirlwind campaign which Chairman Bonaparte is now engaged in in Maryland, and the result for the Republicans seems very encouraging at this time. Too much praise cannot be given to Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of this city for the forcible and eloquent appeal she made for the colored women in the South, in an address before the National Purity Convention which has been in session in Milwaukee during the past week. Mrs. Terrell is one of the most progressive and influential women among the colored people and her remarks before the convention are receiving universal praise. Mrs. Terrell said: "The Southern white woman has never lifted a finger to save the colored woman from vice, and the courts do not protect the colored women from the white men who ruin them. Southern judges hold that it is preferable to ruin colored girls than to marry them." Mrs. Terrell also spoke of the diabolical convict labor system, and the contract labor system, by which colored people who cannot read and write are often induced to put their marks to contracts calling for pay as low as a penny a day, with the proviso that if they run away the cost of their recapture is to come out their wages, thus condemning them to veritable slavery. It is gratifying to note that the white people of the South are not indorsing Thomas Dixon's "Clansman," which has been dramatized and is being produced on the stage. The play and the author were roundly hissed during the past week at Columbia, S. C. The only effect the presentation of a play of this character can have is to keep alive the fires of sectionalism and race antagonism, while, in truth, every effort should be in the direction of stifling this feeling by the conscientious and well-meaning citizens of the country. The case of Henry Jamison, argued before the Supreme Court of the United States, mention of which was made in last week's "Syndicate Letter," was decided adversely to the defendant. We understand that the case will again be brought before the Supreme Court, this time on a writ of error instead of a habeas corpus, and it is hoped that Jamison will win his case. The case of Reuben Hodges and fourteen other residents of Arkansas against the United States was submitted to the Supreme Court this week. Hodges and his associates are under indictment in the Federal Court on the charge of compiring to compel some colored men, who had secured a labor contract, to abandon the work. The charge is that the compulsion is on account of color of the contractors, and the involves the civil rights of colored men. The outcome of the case will be watched with interest. Secretary of War W. H. Taft has declined to send the 24th Infantry, now stationed at Fort Houston, Texas, to the Phillipines, this being the second service of the colored regiment in the Islands. WESTERN UNIVERSITY Chapel services at 8:30 which last half hour every morning is a kind of a prelude to the day's work and is helpful beyond measure, great care being taken both as to music and scripture, as the occasion may suggest, the whole closing with some pointed remarks by the president or some one selected. The service is very religious and beautiful and always attracts the visitors. The speech of Theodore Roosevelt to Negroes at Jacksonville, Fla., last Saturday, and which defined exactly the Western university spirit, was read to the students in chapel Monday. President Wm. T. Vernon and Irev. E. R. Vaughn of the faculty, attended the Missouri conference at Higginsville last week. The choirs of every denomination in this city, as well as Kansas City, Mo., Independence, Rosedale, Argentine and Bonner Springs have been invited to be present at "The Prodigal Son" Friday evening at Allen chapel. Indications point to an immense audience upon that occasion. Bishop Abram Grant and President Wm. T. Vernon will make short remarks. Profs. R. G. Jackson and Albert Ross are promoting the entertainment. The remarkable record of Dr. A. Lyman Phey before the Kansas State Board of Medical examiners was exploited before the students at chapel Wednesday morning. It reveals to Negro students the great capacity and ability of their fertile brains when developed and concentrated as in case of this able doctor. We have an abundance of such men in the rough in all the professions, trades and sciences. All they need is the opportunity, as was the fact in this case, and they will lead all the races of the world. The Negro has not yet begun to show the world what he can do in inventions, and deep and profound studies. The youth should be encouraged to dig on and wring out from nature and a fertile brain the great truths of the handiwork of God. Facts, results are what show the great progress of Western university. School has been in session seven weeks and the enrollment to date is 160—ten more than the total of last year's enrollment. Still, they come daily. The Kansas conference visited the institution and were so favorably impressed that inside of twenty-one minutes they appropriated the sum of $315. The North Missouri conference followed soon after by appropriating $800, and last week the old Missouri conference broke all existing records by raising the great, sum of $1350 for the advancement of Western university. This means more improvements, better accommodations and additional studies and industries for the youth of the intelligent Western Negro. Bishop Abram Grant is the great power behind church, school and state, who is stirring onward these forces for good in this western section. Rev. E R. Vaughn has been assigned to Quin laro A. M.E. church as pastor, besides being instructor of Latin at the university. He will look after the spiritual needs of the residents and students. J. W. RYAN. Times Hildg.

These persons ask whether it will be safe to sow such grain for seed the coming year. It is very proper that they should ask this question and it is exceedingly important that it should be answered with intelligent discrimination. During a trip that we made the third week in August over the wheat growing area in the northern part of the state we noticed that some of the wheat was so shrunken that it was not worth cutting. In some localities the stands were fairly good. The variations ran all the way from No. 1 down to wheat that was really unfit to make good food for chickens. We have no doubt whatever but that such grain sown for seed will not give good results. It will be found quite practicable in many instances to so winnow the shrunken wheat that the very light material will all be blown out of it. The best sample obtainable, therefore, from the crop should usually answer for sowing next season. One difficulty is in the way however. Many farmers are not possessed of a fanning mill, so prevalent has the custom become to take wheat direct from the machine. Every farmer ought to have a fanning mill for such work — Farm and Fireside. The destructive Rat. Housewives in the country sometimes complain that poultry raising is a great care on account of the losses that occur among the young chicks largely due to the presence of rats. The rat is far harder to hege against than the cat. A good strong partition to the poultry house or a good wire fence around the poultry yard will keep out cats, but these have little effect in checking the depredations of rats. They can gnaw through the partition and tunnel under the wire fence and do the work so expeditiously that the damage to the flock is done before the farmer has had time to take combative measures. Then when he begins to fight the rode-tis he finds that the process is not a smooth one. The animals avoid the steel trap and the wire cage. Poison is the only thing that seems to be effective, and the farmer healties about employing this, as he is afraid of hurting other animals. But this method of destruction will be found to be about the only effective one if the rats are very numerous. If poison is used it should be placed where only the rats can get access to it. Wool Clip Contracted. Dealers in wool seem to have no fears of a decline of wool prices for another year at least. In various western states dealers have already been closing contracts for next year's wool clip at from seventeen to twenty cents per pound and seem willing to take all they can get at those figures. While many farmers have sold their next year's crop on such terms as these some are willing to wait until spring to dispose of their clip, taking the chances on the price going down. They don't consider there is much risk to run when buyers are so anxious to contract so far ahead, and prefer to take chances rather than to sell now and likely to regret making the agreement before shearing time. The farmer who breeds and raises good sheep may he pretty sure of resping some good profits from both his wool and mutton during the next few years. The sheep business certainly has a bright outlook at the present time. Season's Potato Yield. Revised returns justify the estimate of an average yield of 110.6 bushels of potatoes this year, instead of 100 bushels, as stated in the last number. The average yield for the previous ten years was 81 bushels, making the present a bumper year for this crop. Maline is credited with the largest average acre yield, 215 bushels. The Southern states had from 61 to 80 bushels, except Florida, which grow 102 bushels Iowa's yield was 166 bushels and Wisconsin's 128, both extremely good for this country. The average of the old New England states is higher than in the same number of newer western states—Farn, Stock and Home. Cur Butter Abroad. The government has been making weekly experimental exports of the best quality of creamy butter to Manchester, England, continuing previous practical tests of the merits of such butter from the United States in comparison with the highest grades of butter from other countries to be found in British markets. The results as stated by the butter man of the dairy division have been, in a general way, quite favorable, but not such as to encourage commercial operations along, the same line at the present price of butter in the United States—Barnum's Midland Farmer. Ne Lime On Manure. It is a mistake to put time in the manure heap, for it destroys the salts of ammonia, and by connecning it to take the gaseous form drives it off. Lime will rot manure very quickly and do its work well, but it will be at the expense of a loss of nitrogen, which is an ingredient of ammonia, says the Farm Journal, and it's good authority. CRUCULTURE On the subsoil depends a great deal. The tree that is planted over an impervious subsoil may do well if it is on a side-hill that will permit the water to run off through the soil that lies above the subsoil. But on other kinds of land the subsoil, if impervious, will cause the trees to grow slowly and bear fruit lightly. Bad drainage and impervious subsols larges go together. We have seen land that was friable on top and down a little way was composed of a layer of stone and clay so closely intermixed that it almost seemed that a great fire had melted them and they had run together. If such subsoil cannot be improved it is better to put the fruit trees in some other place. The most way to improve the sub soil is by drainage. That lowers the water table in the soil in winter and lets the frost in to pulverize the ground! Where the land is undrained the water table protects all the soil below it from the action of frost. We have known of clay soils through which the drains were dug to a depth of four feet. For a year or two it did not seem to make much differences with the general character of the soil, for the frost had not had time to work. But after the frost for two or three winters had got in to the soil the whole character of the ground seemed to be changed. For the growing of apple trees especially it is best to select land where the subsoll is already in right condition, so that the roots may go down several feet if necessary. This makes it easy for the tree to send its roots deeply and to get down into a moist layer of soil. Trees in such locations stand drouth well and show green leaf when all things else seem to be being brown with drouth Leaving the Tree to Nature Every once in awhile we find a man that believes in leaving fruit trees alone, permitting nature to do as she wishes to with them. He generally says that the sprouts on trees, especially the water sprouts should not be cut off. We think that if this man had to raise grapes he would get very few of them. Nature does not have to be fed and clothed, and therefore is not concerned with increasing the fruitfulness of trees and plants beyond the point where they will propagate themselves. But man has greater needs and forces the tree and plants to stop producing in one direction and go to producing in another. The great fruitfulness of trees cared for by man is merely due to the diversion of growth forces from one direction to another. A tree that is planted and cared for by man does not take in more nourishment than does another tree that is left to the direction of nature. But the nourishment that is taken in is made to go into the formation of things that can eat rather than into the formation of wood and loaves, which he cannot eat. The Creator has placed in the hands of man the power of directing the processes of nature to a considerable extent. Man prunes a tree only to make it expend its energies in the fruit buds and so gives him more fruit. We should not leave things to nature, for in the main nature cares nothing for us. There is no moral reason why man should follow the leadings of nature. His own intelligence is not a thing to be lightly set aside. Garden Pointers. In removing the tops before storing be careful not to cut too closely. Decay might result. Put the beets, parsnips, carrots, etc. in a cool cellar in boxes with sand and moist earth between them. The above way is especially suited for cabbage and turnips. Apples, too, can be kept well by the method. Calery in process of blanching is less likely to decay if the leaves are exposed to the air and sunlight in mild weather. Loss frequently occurs from too close covering. A mulch of manure on the raspberry patch is good for next season's crop, but it should not be so heavy near the plants as to furnish a harbor for field mice, beneath which they can dig down and eat the roots. This is a good time to sow some lettuce seed in the cold frame and start a few bunches of parsley in the frame or the kitchen window. It will not be much trouble to arrange for a good supply of fresh vegetables in the window. Bees Useful to Farmers. The great value and usefulness of the common honey bee on the farm has been tersely put by Prof. W. P. Hedrick of the agricultural college of Michigan. He says: The fruit grower who complains of bees is an ungrateful wretch. At best fair exchange is no robbery, but the bees take nothing. A crop of honey removes no fertility from the soil, no substance nor flavor from the fruit, nor even the fragrance from the flower. Multitudes of bees may store their hives with "cholesty sulled sweets" from your orchard, and you may take it and feast yourself on the apple-blossom flavored honey, so you may sell it for dollars and cents, yet neither your trees nor your farm is the loser by one penny's worth. If the bees take a little toll from the fruit, what of it? Should they not be repaid for officiating at the nuptials of your fruit blossoms. But do they take toll? we are being robbed, and when you have figured a result the half will not have been told, for this kind of business has been going on among our millions for forty years, and our white brothers regard this as just, fair and right treatment. The white man laughed at the Negro's poor and wretched condition and says the reason for it is that the black man is worthless and shiftless, knowing too that all the avenues of industry are barred against our people. Many white men have the gall to claim that the Negro has had a fair chance and should have done better, but we are willing that the Christian's God sit in judgment in this matter. The half of the black man's suffering in this country has never been told; that is, the world knows nothing of it. The pulpits of the country are locked against anything condemnatory of these inhuman and damnable outrages to which we are subjected, and there are not three preachers out a thousand who would stand up and publicly condemn the hellish deeds which are practiced almost daily against us, a defenseless but most loyal race. Can anyone convince me that Spain ever treated her subjects any worse? Never! No other country this side of the circle of the sun can boast of such a criminal record as our own country. But our "golden rule" white brothers preached against Spain's tyrannical treatment of the Cubans and then declared war in defense of Spain's persecuted subjects, but all the reign of Weyler, termed by our white brothers "The Butcher," is as nothing in comparison to the treatment accorded the black man under the stars and stripes. The white people will preach against every sin in the world but the sin of the American man against the American black man. Now I do not wish to misrepresent anybody not the condition of the black man in this country, and neither would I make appear that the Negroes are all perfect saints, for we have our tramps and our criminals just as other people, but in no greater proportion than other races. In many parts of this country when Negroes are arrested on any charge they are not allowed a chance to prove whether he is innocent or guilty, but a jury of white men, filled with prejudice from birth, renders a "deed-made" verdict of guilty and the black man is hurried off to prison or strung up to a tree or barbeued in a bon fire, without the last proof of guilt. In cases of lynchings and burnings the mob returns from its awful work proclaiming to the world that the Negro confessed his crime, and this they tell in justification of their dastardly deed while yet their hands are covered with human blood and the small of death is still upon their garments, and yet the American white people take their statement as a matter of fact, and that is the end of it. You may see an account of the affair in the papers the next day but you seldom see a word of condemnation of this barbaric custom of this country. Preachers will tell you that the dance is a sin, but of this the commandments are silent; they preach that it is a sin to attend a theatre; they preach against going to the sea shores on Sundays for a little rest and recreation, things of which our Lord has not spoken against, but never a word in a sermon is heard against the act of a mob of bellions dragging a black man out of his bed in the dark hours of midnight and murdering him before the eyes of his wife and children, a thing condemned by the Lord's commandments. Yes, it is done without law, without judge and without jury, and not one word is said against it. Senator Benjamin Tillman of South Carolina, says that the Negro is a rapist and that that is why the whites have to lynch and burn him in these unlawful ways in order that they may protect the virtue of their women. Well I would not say anything against any man for protecting his wife and daughters from an outrage, and would have but little respect for any man who would not protect his family from scoundrels, whether they be black or white, but it has been proven beyond successful contradiction that there have been less than one to the million per annum of our race who have attempted rape from the end of the Civil war up to the end of the year 1903. So you can see that the charge made against him is absolutely false, but on the other hand, it has been the Negro women who have been wronged by the white men, and if one white man had been murdered for every time a Negro woman has been wronged I fear that the land would be depopulated to an extent equal to the War of the Rebellion, and would make a string of funerals long enough to reach around the world, and the march would never cease, but the black man has availed himself of the law which, so far as the black man is concerned against the white man, is a dead letter, and he has no redress. I believe in protecting the virtue of all women, be they white or black, for they are entitled to the respect of every man and anything short of this is downright hypocrisy. Now I do not make these charges against all white men, for the black man has many staunch friends both in the North and in the South, and to them we acknowledge our gratitude for what they have done and are still doing for us, but when we look and see so many millions who are opposed to us having the rights of enjoyment that belong to every man we are bound to speak out in strong words of condemnation against all wrong and in the highest for the right. Yours for right and justice, A. H. HENDERSON. VINITA. I. T. Mr. Overton, a traveling man of Kansas City, Kas., carrying a fine line of cigars, was in the city last week. Though a week of unpropitious weather the Corn carnival was a success. What it would have been had fair weather prevailed is beyond the ken of man, but it is sure that we would have had the largest crowd ever assembled in the city. A few mistakes was made, but much is always the case and we see these things after they have passed. On the whole the carnival was ably planned and faithfully executed. Much credit is due the various committees for their earnest labor. The carnival passed off quietly and all who attended had a good time. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Swain, the newly married couple of Grand River vicinity, were in town last week. Master Emery Finley who was taken seriously ill at Fort Gibson, was able to come home last Saturday and is improving nicely. Mrs. M. A. Sorrell who has been visiting relatives at Hayden, has returned home. Will Fogg is now located on N. First street. James Davis, a popular young man of the city, made a flying trip to Coffeyville and other points in Kansas last week. Rolen Naves, who was shot some time ago, is doing nicely. Attorney Lewis Brown of Muskoges, was in the city last week on business. Miss Annie Allen has returned from Saint Louis, Mo., where she visited for several weeks. Charles Humes was on the sick last week. Chester Williams is here from Bartlesville visiting his wife.

Miss Arthur Thompson who visited relatives in Lightning Creek vicinity, has returned home, being compelled to return earlier than she expected, on account of the illness of her baby. Mr. and Mrs.B. Beck have moved to the west part of town. Quite a crowd spent last Sunday out on Lightning Creek where there were twenty-two persons baptized. Mrs. Ella Hill has opened her boarding house on Illinois avenue and will be glad to meet her friends at all times. It is said that D. Hicks has traded his home place for a house and lot on Illinois avenue, known as the Oak Leaf hotel, the subsidy being $1500. It was a good trade and Mr. Hicks will likely close out his restaurant and stock of groceries and go into the hotel business altogether, as he has had some experience in that line. We wish him much success. There will be a Sunday school feast soon. PUERLO, COLO The revival services which have been going on at St. Paul church closed last Sunday night.

Blouse or Shirt Waist Suitable for All Materials—Skirt With Shirred or Plain Yoke—Velvet Ribbon Trimming—Hints for the Home. Popular Separate Bloomer. Popular separate blouses. Again and again it has been prophesied that the separate blouses must be put one side, but as 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-raun tucks, or puffs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon fallies, 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 attractive blouses, in their way, as the silks are in theirs. Magnificent Evening Coat 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 DEBNS Boloer 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. Blouse or Shirt Waist. This shirt waist will be found most excellent for all the waistatings of the season, cotton, linen, silk and wool, and is as smart as it is simple, besides suiting 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. ```markdown ``` table 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 ones of the season, and are finished with straight cuffs, and the shaped stock inlaces the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4½ yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, or 3 yards 44 inches wide, with 14 yard of any width for stock. Worn at Chicago Horse Show. An effective and elaborate white gown in India lawn and lace insertion, seen at the Chicago horse show, had a narrow pointed bodice girdle and above the girdle were palls of fins and the material, which fitted the tight fitting lining perfectly. This extended to the line of a poke, where a lace bertha was set abrupt the shoulders. The sleeves were made of puff of the lawn and lace and ended at the elbow. The hats worn at the horse show were very elaborate, the Gaimborough, 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 Pink Yoke. Full skirts that fall in soft, graceful folds appear to gain in favor day by day and are peculiarly becoming to young girls. This one can be gathered at the upper edge to form puff shirrings, or once only and joined to a contrasting yoke, but in either case the fullness is made to form best ```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 stuff—silk, wool, cotton and linen—are equally appropriate. The shirred yoke is mucl liked 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 shirred is arranged over the foundation that also serves for the plain yoke when shirring are not used. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6½ yards 21 inches wide, 5 yards 27 inches wide or 3½ yards 44 inches wide, with 4½ yards of applique and ½ yard of all over lace when joke 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, once on the left side of the corriage 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 smart afternoon gown of brown plisse chion. With the Housewife To remove rust from steel cover the article with sweet oil and leave it for two or three days, then dust it thickly with finely powdered, uralsaline and rub till the rust disappears. Len on juice will remove most stains from the hands and grease from kitchen tables. This being the case, it is well to save the squeezed-out lemons used in cooking for cleansing purposes. Flatirons should be washed every week and always kept in a clean, dry place. Few housekeepers use and silent wax in ironing. Do not allow your irons to become red hot, as they will never again retain the heat. To remove iron stains on marble apply to them a mixture of oxalic acid and methylated spirits, leave it on a short time and then rub dry with a soft cloth. Lemon juice will sometimes remove the stains. When winds blow and there is froze in the air put handkerchiefs, collars, cuffs and all small articles in the wash to dry in a pillow case. The fabric is spared whipping by the wind, they will freeze dry and be quickly gathered for frozing. Millinery. 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, the floral, the motte and double-faced curries, satin and taffeta. The high crowns will lead 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 Portlases. To prevent portieres catching underneath the door when opened quickly, screw a small ring (such as 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 in the center of the door at the top, thread the cord through and fasten to the bottom of the curtain, and as the door is opened so the curtain rises. See eee Stee eee See ie = ee
