IN KANSAS! --- Charge De Affairs at Monrovia, Liberia, is Royally Welcomed at His Old Home in The banquet given in honor of Geo. W. Ellis, Jr., Charge De Affairs at Monrovia, Liberia, at the King Hotel, Lawrence, Kaus., last Wednesday evening, Nov. 1, by the leading and progressive citizens of that city was a grand affair and a just recognition of merit, honor, push, culture and ability. Mr. Ellis is a graduate of the Law Department of Kansas State University. He practiced for some years in that city. He was employed by the National Republican committee in 1896 and 1900 to make speeches. He is one of the best campaign orators in the country. He made quite a reputation for himself with the leaders of the party. After the election of Major McKinley he was appointed to a position in the Census Department which he held until the completion of the work. After wards he was appointed Secretary of the Legation at Monrovia, Liberia upon the request of Minister J. R. A. Crossland. Mr. Ellis was given full charge of the Legation after the resignation of Mr. Crossland having the title of Charge De Affairs added to this position. He is still serving under the new minister, Dr. Ernest Lyons, who he speaks of in highest terms. Mr. Ellis returned to the states a few weeks ago having visited all the important cities in Europe and received by the crowned heads of that country. He has devoted considerable of his time in collecting specimens which he presented to the Department of Ethnonolgy, at Washington. This report covers every phase of life of the Vai speaking people of that country. He is the first representative of this government in Liberia to give a coast and geodetic survey of the country which is now on file in the Department of the Secretary of Bureau of Commerce. Also thirty thousand words in the Bureau of Education on Liberia which will appear in the report of 1905 which contains seventy-five thousand words of the Vai speaking tribe. The following gentlemen were present at the banquet: G. W. Ellis, J W. Clark Jr., Will Morris, Jas. Johnson, H. S. Hubbard, DeFrantz, Hardiman, Biggam, Geo. Byrd. Jas. Wallace, Armstead Smith, Dr. J. J. Kenner, J. T. Williams, Robt. White, Ike Johnson, Herb, Gleed, Fred Stone, Dr. J. H. Young, F. C. West, P. M. Hervey, Ed S. Harvey, F. Gleed, Curtis Stone, Nero Sparks, H. G. Lett, C. C. James, F. D. G. Harvey, Robt. McWilliams, Nick Chiles, Bert Davis, R. H. Todd. Toastmaster, R. B, McWilliams: Ed I. Harvey, Ellis as a student: C. C. James, Encouraging remarks: F. Gleed, Talk to young men; J. W. Clark, Ellis as a lawyer; F. C. West. What the Negro should do to succeed; Njek Chiles, Newspapers; L. F. Williams' Negro students. Hon R. B. McWilliams, former law pardner of Mr. Ellis acting as toast master, paid a high tribute to his former pardner, reviewing their college days and their hard struggle to gain confidence in themselves to complete their course in college. Ed S. Harvey, who know Mr Ellis as a student, spoke of the earnestness in his subjects which overcome the difficulties where so many fall. Hon. C. C. James, one of the oldest and active citizens of that county, gave encouraging talk to the young men to push forward and make a record for themselves as Mr. Ellis TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 10, 1905 has done. Mr. F. Gleed one of the substantial cattle and hog shippers in the county, painted out the way in which young men may improve themselves in all walks of life by being dutiful with lots of push and energy. Hon. J. W. Clark, who is a friend and ex-law-pardner of Mr. Ellis, gave a few interesting facts of the hardships of a lawyer. Prof. F. C. West speaking of what the Negro should do to succeed, pointed out several ways, advising them to get farms and cultivate them. He was a student and room mate of Mr. Ellis and it was amusing to hear him tell how proud they were to be invited to a full dinner table once in a long while and how they practiced economy on small ration. J. T. Williams, speaking on students, described the student of today. Mr. Ellis was quite different. It seems to be hard for the boy of today to progress as rapidly as the boys of days gone by. Mr. Ellis responded to the toasts and returned thanks to the many friends of Lawrence and Douglas county who had come together to pay their respects to one of the old townsmen and friends. He was gratified to know that his friends had not failed to keep watch upon THE LEGEND OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN his work since he had been abroad. He would always have a very, very warm spot in his heart for his law rence friends. We must confess that we have attended several banquets and some we thought could not be excelled, but too much praise cannot be given D. L. Waddington, the proprietor of the King Hotel, for style and manner in which he served. Everything on the menu card was palpable, wholesome, dainty, and up to-date. Mr. Waddington has had years of experience as a caterer and his equals are few. He was assisted by Nicholas Allen, one of the finest chefs and bakers in the west. The following was the menu: Baked Halibut Shoestring Potatoe Sauce, Hotel de Marte Broiled Tenderloin Mushroom Sauce Claret Mashed Potatoes Stuffed Young Turkey-Domestic Green Pear French Salad in Cases en Fromage Bonts Water Crackers, Deme Tasee Meringue Glace Fancy Cakes After exchanging good byes and congratulations the banquet sang "God be with you, till we meet again." Mr. Ellis left for Washington the next day where he will meet the president. He has a book on Africa in the hands of the publisher which will be interesting to the public. We hope the president will be able to advance Mr. Ellis to to larger salaried position. The colored people of Kansas would like to see him have something better. THE KANSAS CITY SCHOOL QUESTION WAS UP TUESDAY! Attorney Waters Filed a Demurrer to the Defendant's Very Weak Answer--- The Final Test is Set for November 27th. This case was called in the Supreme court last Tuesday. Waters and Frye appeared for the plaintiff, and E. S. McAnany for the defendants, Mr. Waters filed a demurrer to the defendant's answer. Mr. Wagener not being present, the court ordered briefs filed by both parties, giving ten days to file and ten to answer. This brings the case to issue on November 27th. The answer filed by the school board is ridiculous. They did not answer a single proposition set up by the plaintiff. The only impression they are trying to make is that they are white. In the Supreme Court of the State of Kansas. vs. No. 14,067. Thomas J. White, President, C.M. Bowles, Vice President, and F. G. Horseman, Clerk of the Board of Education of Kansas City, Kansas. E.D. Williams, W. R. Palmer, J. R. Richey and E.F. Taylor, Members of the Board of Education of Kansas City, Kansas, M. E. Pearson, Superintendent of the High School, and the Board of Education of Kansas City, Kansas, Defendants. Now come the defendants, the Board of Education of Kansas City, Kansas, and each member thereof, and also its clerk, and the superintendent of schools of said city, and each thereof by their attorneys and for answer to the alternative writ of mandamus, heretofore issued by this court, say. 1. That they deny each and every allegation and averment in said alternative writ contained, except as admitted herein. 2. Defendants admit, that the city of Kansas City, Kansas, is a city of the first class; that the defendant, Thos. J. White, is president, C.M. Bowles is vice president, and E. D. Williams, W.R. Palmer, J. R. Richey and E. F. Taylor are also members of the Board of Education of Kansas City, Kansas; and that F., G., Horseman is clerk of said Board of Education, and that M. E. Pearson is superintendent of schools in said city, and acts as such, under the instructions and orders of said Board of Education. Defendants also admit that a high school has been established, and is maintained in said city in accordance with law, and that previous to September 1, 1905, it was so maintained and operated in a manner as to suit the wishes and convenience of a majority of the people of said city; that up to the close of the 1905 school term ending May 1905, children had the right of admission and instruction in said high school, without the exclusion of any child on account of his or her color. Defendants also admit, that there is a large number of colored persons in said city, who reside in all parts thereof; and that a large number of them are between the ages of twelve and twenty-one years; and that some of these are entitled to attend a high school, and to receive, and obtain such education as is therein provided. Defendants also admit, that there is at present in said city, but one high school building, and will continue so to be until the proposed new high school building is completed. Defendants further admit, that the plaintiff is a citizen of the AN8WKR. --- United States and of the state of Kansas; and that she is a resident of the city of Kansas City, Kansas; and that she is a colored girl of the age of eighteen years; and that she is entitled to attend a high school in said city, but only, within the lawful and reasonable rules and regulations made by the defendant Board of Education for the management of such high school or schools. 3. Defendants furthersandwering, allege and say, that said city of Kansas City, Kansas, is a city of more than 60,000 population, and is rapidly increasing in population to a greater extent than any other city in the state, so that largely increasing school accommodations are constantly becoming necessary to be provided by the defendant board. That there is a large colored population in said city, as stated in the alternative writ; and that the proportion of the colored children entitled to high school privileges of the colored population is 500, as stated in said writ, the same proportion of the remainder of the population would make 2500 additional white children, or a total of 3000 children in said city eligible for high school privileges. Defendants say, that there is at present but one high school building in said city; that its size and capacity is suitable for the proper accommodation of about 600 pupils only. That heretofore, it has been the uniform rule and practice, to conduct said high school by morning sessions only, held from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m.; and that up to the close of the school term in 1905, said high school was conducted as a mixed school, having both white and colored pupils. That by reason of the rapid growth of said city, said high school building has, during the past two years, been crowded beyond its capacity, and it became imperatively necessary that other provisions should be made to accommodate the large number of pupils. Defendants further answering say, that during the school year of 1904, by reason of an unfortunate occurrence, whereby a promising white pupil of the high school was shot and killed by a colored boy, a strong and bitter feeling was engendered between the races, and especially among the pupils of said high school, which caused a great deal of friction and hostile feeling between the white and colored children, and threatened the disruption of the said high school; and on account of such feeling, the Board of Education was compelled to close the said high school for several days to all pupils, both white and colored. And the local conditions relating to said high school were such, during said school year of 1904, that it became, and was, a matter of common notoriety throughout the state, and such hostile feeling, to a considerable extent, has continued down to the present time. THE DEMUERER. In the Supreme Court of the State of Kansas. Mamie Richardson, Plaintiff, vs Thomas J. White, et al, Defendants. DEMURRER. The plaintiff demurs to the answer of defendants and for the reason that said answer does not state facts sufficient in law to be a defense to the application for the alternative writ of mandamus, and that regardless of the facts therein stated, the plaintiff is entitled to the issuance of the writ of mandamus, as asked and prayed for in her application for said writ. C. W. Frye, Waters and Waters, B. P. Wagener, Attorneys for the Plaintiff. Defendants further say, that the State Legislature, when it met in 1905, recognized these local conditions existing in the schools of Kansas City, Kansas, and, in order to provide for more extended and simple accommodations in the said high school of said city, and at the same time to provide for the local conditions as they existed in said city or Kansas City, Kansas, passed an act Chap.414 of the Session Laws of 1905, whereby power and authority was given to the Board of Education of Kansas City, Kansas to separate the white and colored pupils of the NUMBER 44. Rev. D. A. Graham Tells an Interesting Story of Dowie's Colony in Illinois No Prejudice There. Having heard much of the city founded by Rev. John Alexander Dowie, Zion City, Ill., I concluded to spend a part of my vacation investigating the practical workings of the teachings of this man whom the press has tried in vain to kill for the last dozen years. So on the 2nd of October I landed in Dr Dowie's city. The city is less than five years old and therefore I was surprised to note the size and substantial appearance of the place. Spacious boulevards, broad avenues and well graded streets give such an appearance as will not be found in any other ten-year old city in the country, while there are many fifty years old that are not nearly so beautiful or well kept. Ten thousand people are found in this place, comprising eighty nationalities, and all races and colors. The city is ruled absolutely by the Christian Catholic Apostolic church, of which Dr. Dowie is head and founder. One of his fundamental doctrines is that God must rule in everything and as God makes no difference on account of a man's color, no difference must be made by God's people. This theory is not new. In fact, it is to be found in most all churches. But this is the only church that dares to practice the beaching. There are not many colored people there, but of those, who are there, no one ever, has, had a chance to say that he failed to secure any position of trust, honor or emolument, because of his color. In the large department store I found a colored man at the head of the musical instrument department, while a Japanese was managing another department. I met one colored alderman. But it is in the church, or tabernacle as they call their place of worship, that we see and hear the most perfect lessons of race unity. Shiloh Tabernacle is a very large building, with a seating capacity of over seven thousand. The choir gallery seats three hundred seniors, and about one hundred juniors; besides an orchestra of twenty pieces and a full cornet band. You will perceive that they believe in worshipping God according to David's advice. When the hour arrived for opening the services between three and four thousand people were in the congregation, but only the orchestra in the choir box. A colored man is at the organ. He is the chief musician of Zion. The music begins, and through the broad aisles come marching all the singers and officials of the church, led by the junior choir. They are marching four abreast, singing a processional. Among the juniors I see a number of colored children, but no two together. Then come the deaconses, about forty in number and in the very first line, a very dark colored woman. The deacons follow, and here Ham is again. Then follow elders and overseers with the speaker of the hour bringing up the rear. All this retinue is elegantly robed according to their respective positions, and the procession requires about fifteen. Thus the example of race equality is set by the church and the doctrine taught most vigorously by the head of the church, Dr. Dowie. He never lets an opportunity pass to hit race prejudice a blow, and instances are numerous in which he as administered sharp discipline to persons who have tried to show the CONTINUED ON PAGE 6. 14 ‘ ee PITTSBURG, KANS.

Kansas City Journal: Among the many interesting things told of Charles J. Devtin, the Tope- ka millionaire bankrupt, one of the most characteristic was this: “Much comment has he caused by lifting his hat to an old Ne- gro couple of his acquaintance. Ma man, be he white or color- od, occupying a position high or low in society or in business, was accompanied by a woman and Mr. Delvin knew him, off came the Deviin hat,"’ And why not? The only won- deris thatinch an act of true courtesy should have caused any comment at all, The story re- calls another, told of Thomas Jefierson, we believe, whe was siding along a country road one day ina buggy witha frend, when they met an old Negro. The Nergro lifted his with a low bow, and Mr. Jefferson prompt- ly returned the courtesy. “Why,’' said hts companion, “Iam astonished to see a Southern gentleman take off his hat toa nigger."’ Mr. Jefferson ? c THS PRIZE CUP ; heeuren fs sR! aa Se hte uae - le bak es ee ao ae ae - | Rear ic Pete, Bg 7 ane | FI pay Le : hg wes Cn yt qe " an = a ae F os Vi ad rte Ph hs ae! 5 ee Ba) Lg a , ; oF re aes Pas in i , Re Bday ; ’ ne aa 8 ei re a a’ a : Rae ae Nk SQ PO ah q : Pomme Fed a - , | F A t Fy ar ‘ oa no, May ir, se aes a ae wae BR . | ron rok we} ra Oe ain? a le ara ern a = wa, 7 , ; i a re " “ae aces ae , aan nr | % oo Pa % . rs 2G < Pa as ra rn 4 a i 1 f 7 | a A A Sm f 2B “mEeY 7 DBC Everybody is Cordially Invited to Come Out. quietly replied: ‘1 would not be outdone in politeness by a Ne. gro."* Too many persons are afraid or ashamed to be polite, in the foregoing sense; scime from a snobbish fear of endangering their own social standing, which in their consciousness of infer- for must needs be buttressed with haughty reserve lest it crumble, and others irom lack of understanding that the finest flower of gentility, the truest test of good breeding, is that unvarying courtesy which is born of self-respeci as well as of consideration for others. Alas that it should be so rare as to excite ‘much comment," and alas, again, thatit should be termed ‘old fashioned'’ now days. Besides the general obliga- tions of courtesy which well bred persons recognize as bind- ing for their own sakes, there is the more delicate sense of re- spect which all strong and chiv- alous men instinctively feel for women by reason of their good- nessandtheir weakness. Even though we may not, all of us, agree with the Saying that ‘the worst woman is better than the best man,’ wecan still sym- pathize with Kipling when he says!

Kansas Watchman Scums to Financial Depression Again death has visited this city and claimed for its victim The Kansas Watchman. From the time of its birth, about five or six months ago it has been ailing of that dreaded disease, lack of finances, and Monday of last week the brittle thread of life snapped and the Watchman passed into the great beyond. In the death of the Watchman, Gov. Hoch and the supporters of Jim Crow legislation loses one of their staunchest supporters. It was a tool through which the white man found ready support in that which tended to villify and find fault with the Negro. The Watchman was the product of the benighted brain of Paul Jones, a disgruntled back number that has been cast aside and labeled as one of the "has been." Poor Paul, we are sorry for him, but more so for those who planked down the cash for "one year in advance." Gov. Hoch like Racheal, refuses to be comforted, while the people who stand for justice and right are saying on all sides, "May the devil take a liking to the Watchman, we never could.

I have just returned from a few days visit with Prof. Vernon at Quindaro. I have never had the pleasure of visiting the school be fore. I found Dr. Vernon and his Professors driving on. I was not surprised to find such a good school for I knew it could not be any thing else but a good school with such a man at the head as Dr. Vernon. The doors of the Western University stand ajar at all times for visitors to see for themselves. Visit the school and see what he is doing and you will find that he is using his appropriation to a good advantage and for a good cause. The work that Dr. Vernon is doing at Quindaro with the Negroes will stand as a monument for him when he has passed to the great beyond. We need more such men as Vern n LECT "CUBA AND P By CAPT.

Stop lying on him; stop fighting him. The school is growing all the time. Every day from 1 to 3 o'clock the scholars come to attend the school and room in what is needed at Quindaro to accommodate the scholars. Ten years ago when Prof. Vernon came to Kansas to take charge of the Western University at Quindaro, it was such a looking structure as Mt. Hope in South Topeka. Today there are three good large buildings including the one that is being erected now and that certainly is a fine building. This is the new Chapel building. I think that if some of the Negroes who have been giving so many untrue things about Vernon would visit school and see what he is doing, they would cease to talk about him, only in speaking good of him.

In a recent sermon he used the following strong language: "May God grant the time shall speedily come for the fusion of all the races, and give us back the primitive race, the man that was strong, the type of man that trod the soil of Elen. Do you think he was white? If you do, you are thinking nonsense, because the people who inhabit that part of the globe are not white. They are a beautiful brown, or cream color, but they are not white. If you say that white is the color for you, then let me tell you that the whiter you are, the weaker you are. The whitest body I ever saw was a corpse. "May God keep the color line out of our hearts. Let me remind you that Moses mirrored a Cushite, a black woman from the Cush country—an Ethiopian woman; and when Aaron and Miriam objected, God got angry. When God got through with Miriam, she came out of the tabernaacle a leper, as white as snow; and if she had not been prayed for by Moses, she would have remained a leper and died in the wilderness!" Notwithstanding this radical teaching, many southern whites are joining this community and after a few lessons in true Christianity, become most ardent supporters of Dr. Dowie's doctrine. It talked with a prominent minister from South Carolina and I found him as radical as Dowie, himself. Another peculiarity of Zion City is the entire absence of liquor, tobacco, pork, drugs and practicing physicians. And yet there is not another city in the world of equal size which has so low a death rate. Yet they have sickness, and hence are not Christian Scientists. They recognize disease as it is; but believe that faith in the personal Christ as the Healer is the way laid out for His followers. We need scarcely add that the jail of this religious city is without occupants, and the well organized police force and daily constituted courts seldom have anything to do. Truly it is a spatless town REV D. A. GRAHAM. PLATTE CITY, MO. Rev. George W. Leach, former pastor of the A M H church here, is preparing to move to Brunswick where he will enter his new field of labor for the ensuing conference year. Rev. Leach and family are well beloved by all, both colored and white. Mrs. Leach and her daughter spared no pains to make everyone pleasant at their home. No church need be sorry to receive Rev. Leach into their midst as a pastor, for he is a good preacher and a Christian gentleman. His daughter, Mrs. Viola, is a splendid musician and furnishes excellent service at the church and in their home. The community is sorry to see them leave, but we learn that another excellent pastor, Rev. W. R. Richardson, is to succeed Rev. Leach. SHERIFF'S SALE. No. 23.492.

E. Carter of Lexington, Ky., a graduate of Mehary, class '01, is here looking for a location in the territory. He is favorably impressed with Coweta. Dr. Jackson, dentist, of Beaumont, has returned home for a short visit to his family. Black Patti showed here for two nights to crowded houses. The show, both individually and as a whole, made good. John Rucker, the "Alabama Blossom," took well with his songs. Mrs. Emma Norwood Black, a bride of about a month, was buried last Friday after an illness of two weeks. She was a popular young woman of one of the best families, and her death was a shock to her many friends. One of the greatest events of the season was the marriage of Miss Lelia Bowers and Mr. M. C. Simmons, which happy event occurred Wednesday evening, Nov. 8, at the home of the bride. Both parties are prominent social leaders. The bride is a very intelligent and industrious young lady, possessing the qualities essential to a good wife. Mr. Simmons is one of the wealthiest young colored men in the territory, being engaged in the real estate and drug business. He is treasurer of the Benevolent Relief association, traveling agent for the Rising Sun Fire Insurance Co., a Negro enterprise, and owns the controlling interest in the Wybark Mercantile Co. Their many friends wish them a happy future. Dr. Geo. P. Craig, our popular young druggist, has returned, after a six weeks' visit to his home in "Old Kentucky." He is looking well and reports a delightful time. The doctor still reports "single" and has gotten down to work behind the case at Hughes & Simmons'. Miss Mabelle Taylor of Leavenworth did the relief work during his vacation. A damage suit has been brought by three prominent colored men of this city for breach of contract against the management of the Hinton theatre and of the Black Patti Co. Three first floor tickets were purchased and when presented the purchasers were refused admission on the grounds that colored people were not allowed seats on the first floor and the suit followed. Its outcome is being watched with intense interest with the law on the side of the plaintiffs. Those who brought the suit are J. O. Mitchell, real estate dealer, W. A. Rentic, editor, and P. R. Price, lawyer. Rev. De Clelland Laid to Rest The remains of Rev. Thomas De Clelland who died in Pueblo October 26, were brought to this city by his estimable wife, and buried from Payne Chapel Saturday at 2 p.m. Rev. De Clelland formerly lived here, and had long been a patient sufferer from consumption. His life was a beautiful one, always cheerful and praising his Maker. He had been in the ministry ten years, and was well versed on all matters of vital interest. At the time of his death he was 32 years and 36 days of age. He was a young man with an extensive experience, having served as editor on some of the leading papers throughout the country. He was born in Georgia. He had been a member of the Rocky Mountain conference three years. He was conscious of his death and said, "Tell the brethren to meet me in Heaven." Rev. and Mrs. Bray, Rev. Owens and Mrs. Dorcas Watson accompanied the bereaved wife here. Revs. Tillman, Bray, Owens and Father Rice conducted the funeral services, which were impressive and pathetic. A beautiful cross, so emblematic of his life, was given by the Colorado Springs Mercantile company, Prof. and Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Pennington. Mrs. De Cleland's mother arrived from Las Vegas, N. M. for the funeral. Interment was at Evergreen cemetery. The community extends deepest to the bereaved wife and relatives. Colorado Statesman. KANSAS CITY, MO.

The "Annual Banquet to the Twenty" given by Dr. B. F. Allen on Thursday evening of last week was in every respect a successful and brilliant affair, and as is always the case, stamps Dr. Allen as a prince among entertainers. Many forms of amusements were provided and the musical program was exceptionally fine. The menu was elaborate and served in perfect taste. The favors for the ladies were beautiful cut flowers. At a seemly hour the guest, heartily thanking President Allen for the enjoyment of a most delightful evening, left for their respective homes. An up-to-date Halloween party, arranged from forms in the Ladies' Home Journal, to which all of the students were invited, was given by the young ladies of the Olive Branch under the supervision of the president and members of the faculty. The dining room was skillfully decorated in red and black, and with Jack-o'-lanterns, artistic booths, etc. The young people enjoyed themselves so fully in innocent fun that, apparently, there was no desire left for the usual college pranks of Halloween with the destruction of property and the after effects of general discomfort. The Lincoln Institute Tigers defeated the football team of Western university last Friday by a score of 15 to 5. President Vernon, Profs. Jackson and Spurlock accompanied the boys, and all were the guests of the institution during their stay. In the evening a social was given in honor of visitors. The Tigers will play the Kansas university team at Kansas City on Nov. 18 and the Chicago Maroons in St. Louis Thanksgiving Day. Dr. Allen is giving a series of very interesting Sunday afternoon addresses that are attracting large audiences of students and citizens. The subjects thus far have been largely mythological and historical in character, and from the Greek myths and personages of history he has drawn many beautiful and valuable lessons for the benefit of his hearers, "Persens' and Medusae," "Naroissus and Echo," "Modern Chivalry" and "Solomon's Choices" being some of the subjects which have been very highly appreciated. QTTAWA. KANS. Mr. Wm. McBrier entertained the officers and teachers of the Baptist Sunday school on Thursday evening of last week at his home three miles west of town. Miss Katherine Glaspie and her sister, Addie, entertained the following persons at 5 o'clock tea last Sunday: Misses Beatrice and Josephine Martin of Garnett, Miss Martha Clayborne and Mr. and Mrs. J. Price. Miss Josephine Martin of Garnett, who is here taking music lessons, played at the recital at the First Baptist church on Wednesday evening of last week. Our people seem to keep up with the progress of the day. The PLAINDEATER is a welcome visitor in several of our homes. It is always full of news and timely advice and valuable instructions. NAPTON NEWS. Mrs, Sallie Moffitt, of Sedalia, visited Mrs. George Stewart, last week. Mr Jesse Stewart is on the sick list this week. The C W B M Society met with Mrs. Amands J. Talton last Thursday.

Mrs. Georgia Stewart and Mrs. Sallie Moffict visited Mrs. Emma Crowbour last Wednesday. Mrs. N. H. Kenner of Marshall, visited the Stewart and Gregory wedding. SPRINGFIELD, MO. The Ladies Musical and Literary club enjoyed the hostility of Mrs. Ora V. Ford, who made a charming hostess. The meeting was well attended. Mrs. William Smith is president and Mrs. Jas. Stephenson secretary. The house was pretty decorated throughout. The parlor was beautiful with a varied profusion of large fluffy chrysanthemums. The dining room was also decorated with a bower of flowers, together with the club colors, purple and white. The club derived great benefit as well as pleasure from the excellent program. An elaborate and dainty three course luncheon was served, and greatly enjoyed by all. Visitors expressed themselves as being highly entertained. The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Jessie Chamberlain two weeks hence. BOYNTON, I. T. The Citizens Trading Co., after a brief career of a few weeks, is about to be wound up. It seems that it went off half-cocked. As ye scribe understands it, a certain white grafter, who swamped these men, most of whom are honest farmers and know nothing about the mercantile business, makes it a business to buy up bankrupt stocks of goods and put them off on farmers, and then close-them out in short order. A United States marshal is in charge of the big store and nothing is doing therelin. The Boynton Milling company is preparing to erect a two-story building, work to begin at once. The ladies of Allen A. M. E. church organized a woman's department last Sunday with the following officers: Mrs. Ida L. Robinson, president; Mrs. Mary A. Makins, secretary; Mrs. Ida P. Mitchell, treasurer. This department is very important in church building. Last Sunday was a high day with the church. There were three services. At 3 p. m. Rev. Geo. T. Robinson preached the sacramental sermon from John 25: REMOVAL Dr. BRISCOE Is now in lieu New Office over LEEFS DRUG STGRF, 13, and at night Pastor J. C. Hicks preached his farewell sermon. He announced that he had collected more dollar money than he asked for. His administration has been a great success and it is generally believed and desired that he will be sent back for another year. There was an amusing "tacky" party at the church on Thursday night of last week, also a concert and supper, which caused the building fund to grow some more. King Solomon, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. McWee, died last week, aged nine years. The day school turned out in a body. Attorneys Meriwether and Whitfield have come to the parting of the ways. The latter is still in town, however. Hon. II. C. Reed of the Creek council has returned home, that body having adjourned, perhaps never to meet again. This was a legislative body, composed of Indians and Negroes, the white man being barred. We are sorry to see it pawn away. See? Finley Bros. have embarked in the grocery business. Mowzay Cotton has opened a restaurant in the new building of his mother-in-law. Mrs. Lee Goodin is a hustler. Moses, the son of Isaac, was a mourner. The preacher: "Stand up Moses. How do you feel? "I feel all right," said Moses. "Do you love Jesus?" asked the preacher. "Yes, sir; everybody ought to love Jesus," replied Moses. "He ain't got no religion," said Sister C— "I didn't say I had religion," said Moses; "I said I loved Jesus." Joe Howard is back home. J. B. Smith made a business trip to Muskogee last week. The following divines left this week for the annual conference at Wagoner: J. C. Hicks, George T. Robinson, A.M., LL. B, and Wm. H. Buchanan. Rev. John J. Jefferson is out again after a week's illness. Will Alcorn has taken charge of his restaurant again. John Burnett has returned from Oklahoma. With the inuaguration of erecting permanent buildings—business houses—the strike demon set in. Some of our boys were in the first strike. The strike is still on, but nobody knows it but the strikers, for in a few hours the places of the strikers were filled and work goes on just as usual. Too Late to Classify. Walter Evans has returned from a visit in Hutchinson, Quindaro and other points in the state. Richard Hasris has returned from a visit to his old home in Southern Kansas and points in New Mexico. Miss Stella Slaughter, who has visited friends and relatives in Lexington, Louisville and other Kentucky cities, Cinowntail, Indianapolis and Nashville since last May, returned last Tuesday. She enjoyed the trip, but does not like the South; the rebels do not give the colored people fair play. She was entertained highly by her friends. She says that colored people are doing fairly well under the circumstances. The whites are overbearing and tyrannical. FARM MISCELLANY Loss of Soil Nitrogen. The nitrogen of the soil is one of its most important constituents and a fortifying element that quickly disappears. It volatizes rapidly and one of the chief agents of holding it in the soil is the humus. When the humus becomes exhausted the nitrogen escapes with increased rapidity. Experiments with continuous wheat growing on the same soil have shown that the animal and vegetable matter in the soil disappears very rapidly. This causes the liberation of the nitrogen. As long as the nitrogen is combination with and forms a part of the humus, or decaying animal and vegetable matter of the soil, it is in a stable form; but as soon as the humus decays the nitrogen is liberated in various gases and soluble forms, which are easily lost from the soil. It is the statement of scientists that there is no element that is so readily lost as nitrogen. It is not possible for the mineral forms of plant food, such as potash and phosphoric acid, to be converted into gaseous and soluble forms by the ordinary chemical changes that take place in the soil, as in the case of nitrogen. With them the principal loss in their removal from the soil as plant food. But with humus it is different. There is a loss of course of the plant food by its being used by the crops, but much additional is leached downward by the soil water and some is sent off in the form of gas when the humus decays. We have an illustration of this in the decay of piles of manure and vegetable matter. We say that we can smell the ammonia rising from them; but that ammonia is the gas into which the nitrogen in the decaying mass is being changed. The loss of soil nitrogen can only be prevented by keeping up the humus in the soil. In most countries rotation of crops alone is able to do this. Some men brag that they have grown wheat year after year on the same soil for a generation without loss, but it will be found that such soil was in the beginning very rich in humus. By all means rotate, and include in the rotation some of the legumes. Winter-Grown Asparagus. Asparagus can be grown in the cellar in winter wherever the owner heats his house by means of a furnace. The natural conditiona, in such a cellar are favorable to the foregoing of asparagus, as the temperature as night usually hovers around 1.55 degrees and in the day time, runs from 65 degrees to 80 degrees. We do not believe that the amateur will find much profit in this, but some of the professional gardeners do, and it may interest some of our readers to try the experiment and have a few messes of tender asparagus in winter. To get the results named, roots are dug up in the fall before the ground is too hard frozen to make digging them out possible. If the roots have been frozen, so much the better, as they then respond more quickly to the forcing process. There are placed in boxes in the cellar as the furnace. Two or three inches of soil should be under the roots and five or more inches of earth above, as the shoots need to be protected from even the dim light that is found in a cellar. Light is not needed to make the roots produce shoots, as they produce them from the substance laid up in the roots, but do not take anything from the soil. Nevertheless, much moisture is needed, as the shoots cannot develop without the help of a good deal of water. A neglect in supplying moisture will soon render the roots unproductive. Roots should begin to produce shoots in about twenty-five days after being placed in the cellar. At some of the stations roots placed in the cellar about the first of December have produced four or five good cuttings before the middle of February. When the roots are done producing they have to be thrown away, as they will thenceforth be of no good for the developing of tops and new roots. Farmer's Review. Lime for Dairy and Stable. In Denmark there is a box of time in every dairy or creamery, where it is of use in rinsing out vessels to keep them sweet and clean, and to wash down the creamery floors and to purify the air generally. We are using it to a small extent in this country, but it is not common enough. It is one of the best purifiers and cheapest. Its use can be applied to the cow's drinking trough in warm weather, to remove the acum or organic matter therefrom; it can be applied in the cow stable, where it is most invaluable. We know of nothing as effective as slaked lime with carbolic acid mixed in it, for giving the surroundings of the barn a wholesome atmosphere. This sheep and handy agent is readily made by slaking the lime, filling a three-gallon pail about half full, adding about two ounces of ordele carbolic acid. If the lime is not all to be used at one time it can be put away in an air-tight vessel, but it is best to use it fresh. For the dairy and creamery use the slaked lime only—slaked just before using. It has the physical advantages, as well, is lighting up the barn, making it sweet, clean and wholesome when sprayed on the walls, in the spring and fall—Farmer's Guide CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. high school in said city, and to organize and maintain separate schools for the white and colored pupils of the high school, and in order to do this the more effectively, after the passage of said act, and in order, if such separation should be made that the colored pupils should have equal education privileges conveniences and accommodations with the white pupils in every respect, the said city of Kansas City, Kansas, at a special election called for that purpose, voted the issuance of $40,000 of school bonds for the building of a Manual Training High school solely for the colored children, and the site has been purchased therefor, and the plans and specifications for said building are now ready for the construction thereof. That owing to necessary delays in the marketing of the bonds, and the elaborate character of the proposed building, it was impossible to have said building ready for the school term which commenced on September 11, 1905; and it was necessary to make other provision for the accommodation of all of the pupils desiring high school privileges for the ensuing school year. Defendants say, that the constant growth of the city brought the number of pupils ready for admission to the high school far in excess of the capacity of the present high school building to accommodate at the same time and at one session; and it became necessary, in the judgment of the defendant Board of Education, in order to accommodate all, to divide it into two schools; one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, in the same building, until the proposed new building should be erected; and in carrying out this plan, the defendant Board of Education, under the authority granted by said Chap. 414 of the Laws of 1905, separated and divided the high school into two schools; one composed of the white pupils, which the Board has assigned to the morning session, and the other composed of the colored pupils, who were assigned to the afternoon session, from 12:45 to 5 p.m., each such school, during its session to occupy the same high school building and to use and enjoy its conveniences and appliances. That for the colored pupils the defendant Board employed four competent and highly certified colored teachers, the best which could be procured; three male and one female, all graduates of universities in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Georgia. Defendants say, that prior to the commencement of the term on September 11, 1905, the principal of the colored department of the high school gave notice by advertisement of the time and place for enrollment of colored pupils of the high school for the afternoon sessions; and that more than two colored pupils have thus enrolled for the current school year, and there is, and has been, since the commencement of the term, an average attendance of about 70 colored pupils in said colored high school department, including the sister of the plaintiff herein; and plaintiff had and has, an equal opportunity of attending said high school with the others and has never been denied admission; that the present enrollment is about the same as the enrollment of colored pupils in the high school during the preceding school year. Defendants further say, that the plaintiff refused to be enrolled as a pupil in the high school for colored pupils, and has never, since September 2, 1905, entered it as a member of its classes, and has never requested or been denied any course of study, or either of the branches taught in the high school for colored pupils, but on the contrary, has refused to enter and receive the educational advantages therein offered. Defendants further say and allege that the true cause of complaint of plaintiff is not that she is dehled the educational privileges of said high school but in fact, her complaint is based solely upon, and is an attempt to force the attendance of white and colored pupils at the same sessions of the school, and in the same classes, and thus force an intermingling of the races at all sessions of the school, and in all classes, without regard to whether such arrangement would be for the benefit of the children, either white or colored, and with a view to force such intermingling of the races to the exclusion of other and more important conditions and circumstances. Defendan's further say, that the course of study in said colored department of the high school is the same as that in the white department; that all of the branches provided for by law to be taught, are so taught; that the courses of said high school, in each the colored and white departments, or schools, consists of what is called respectively, the "English Course" and the "Classical Course," either or both of which are offered and taught; and the course of study is such, that when complete, it entitles the graduate to admission to the State University. Defendants further say and allege that the advantages of the colored pupils in their studies and recitations in their said high school exceed that of the white pupils in their high school. in this, that the average number of pupils to one teacher, in the white department of the high school is about 33, while the average number of pupils in the colored department to one teacher is about 17, giving the latter superior advantages. Defendants say and aver that all of their acts have been so done within their lawful discretion for the best interests of the schools of Kansas City, Kansas, and as they believe, within the power and authority granted them by the act of the Legislature of the state of Kansas, to which they have heretofore referred, and without any intent to discriminate against colored pupils on account of their race or color, but on the contrary, it has been the intention and the effort of the defendant Board of Education and each and every member thereof, to give the colored pupils equal educational advantages, facilities and conveniences in every respect. And defendants having answered fully the allegations and averments of the Alternative Writ and believing that said Alternative Writ does not state facts to entitle the plaintiff to the relief sought, they ask to be dismissed and recover their costs herein expended.

Curtia, Clerk. First published November 10, '05. FARM MISCHIAM Grain for Seed. Samples of shrunken wheat are being submitted to us by persons residing in the rust stricken belt. 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 Bat. Housewives in the country sometimes complains 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 heuge 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 rodents 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 hesitates 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 those 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 be pretty sure of keeping 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 1194 bushels of potatoes this year, instead of 100 bushels, as stated in the last number. The average yield for the previous ten years was $1 bushel making the present a bumper year for this crop. Maine is credited with the largest average acre yield, 215 bushels. The Southern states had from 61 to 80 bushels, except Florida, which grew 103 bushels Iowa's yield was 186 bushels and Wisconsin's 126, 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—Farm, Stock and Home. Our 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—Burganum's Midland Farmer. No Lime On Manure. It is a mistake to put time in the manure heap, for it destroys the calls of ammonia, and by compiling it so take the gaseous form drives it off. Lime will rot manure very quickly and do its work well, but it will be in the expense of a loss of nitrogen, which is an ingredient of ammonia, upon the Farm Journal, and its good authority.

The Sunday School at the A M E church held its annual feast last Sunday and invited all the children of the city to participate with them. Everything passed off pleasantly and a handsome sum was raised. The following is the annual address of the Sunday School Superintendent, made to a crowded house: To the Sunday School of Bethel A.M.E. church, Officers, Teachers and Members: This being the last Sunday of this conference year, it is with no small degree of pleasure that I make my annual address. Our words, thoughts and deeds of another year have all been registered opposite our names. They constitute the record of our lives during that period, and that record can never be effaced One year ago we sat on Sunday School assembled, with our souls thralled with new hopes, and with noble resolutions to write upon the then spotless page of a new born year a clean record. Amid life's conflicts and its stern realities the battle has been fought. Giants by the way we have met. We have often seen disappointments and defeat written, where success was hoped for—armed resistance where welcome should have met our anxious gaze. How well we have labored in the Sunday School, contended against wrong and finally trumped in the battle of life, we must answer to Him who judges us not after the manner of men. Fathers and mothers, it is with a feeling of joy and gladness that I great you upon this occasion and I extend to, you and each of you the heartiest welcome to our first annual Sunday School feast. Our teachers and officers have been faithful in discharging their duties. The teachers have been active in raising their classes from a state of lethargy and their labors have been crowned with success. We are sorry to say that the reaper with his keen sickle has cut from the school two of our scholars this year. Miss Delana Hicks and Miss Denwood, though we are satisfied that their souls are at rest. Every year brings its harvest of death. He never fails to come to us. Sometimes taking many, sometimes few, but he never fails to take someone whose work and life is connected with our Sunday School. Our finance has been a success. Dear Sunday School, the work of one year has ended, toiling, rejoicing, hoping and praying with fear and trembling while waiting for the harvest. Many have been the plans I've drawn in my mind—and wiped them off because of imperfection. Much has been my anxiety that our Sunday School should hold a conspicuous place in the district and shine as a star of the first magnitude. With zeal I have labored with you, and above all have I endeavored to lead you to higher ground, morally and socially, and to encourage you by precept and example to consecrate your lives to high and noble endeavor. With patience and confidence have I urged and encouraged you to dwell in this higher and purer atmosphere of manhood and womanhood, where the selfish things of life beneath your feet might perish. Now, fathers and mothers. my work is done. How well I have performed the duties and obligations imposed by vitue of this high office I leave to you and the God whom I have endeavored to serve. In returning to you the emblem of authority with which you have so often honored me, permit me to place around it a wreath of deepest gratitude to you who, as officers and members have thus honored me and labored to make my administration a success. Other honors and distinguished associations have been mine but never have human hearts been so near and dear to me as these, my scholars and co workers in the moral uplift of humanity through this noble Sunday School.

Some good people think that we should not praise God only in the house of worship, but they make a mistake. We must praise God daily, and please remember that I know full well that THE PLAIN-DEALER is a public newspaper, and it will go where many good and faithful Christians will not go, and therefore no believer in Christ our Redeemer, should be contrary to a good work, no matter through what agency the endeavor is made. But you, dear Christians, please be an example of the Christian's faith in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and please remember that whether you are married or single you can live a Christian life, and don't be worried when some one says you must live this way or that way. To be a Christian just do what Christ said, and then you will live a holy life, for Christ said, "Whosoever will may come." So the invitation is to all that will come. Junction City, Kas. R.J.Smith.
