It Will Be One of the Best Ever Printed in the West Historical Society State House VOLUME VIII CHAPLAIK'S WIFE IS DOING GOOD! Mrs. Prioleau Ministers to the Welfare of Immune Soldiers in Many Different Ways. In Mrs. Ethel G. Prioleau, an educated mulatress, wife of Chaplain George Prioleau of the immune regiment at Jefferson Barracks, Unole Sam has a volunteer instructress of his colored soldiers. Besides the religious instruction of the Negro soldiers Chaplain Prioleau has charge of the five month's school for enlisted men who cannot read well or write legibly. Mrs. Prioleau helps her husband in his church work and teaches in the school which is held every evening between the hours of 7 and 8 in the Administration building. The pupila number 35. The rules of the army compel some to attend, but a number are corporals and sergeants who are voluntary students. Previous to her marrage Mrs. Prioleau was a teacher in the schools of Kansas City, Kansas., and she is a graduate of the Kansas State Normal at Emporia. She helped her husband in his school work at Fort Riley last Spring and did so well that he complained that the soldiers studied harder for her than for him. Mrs. Prioleau is a bright little woman who enjoys life and who is anxious to do as much as she can to help the soldiers. "I always liked to teach," she said, "but I never liked to enforce discipline. That I found the hardest part of my profession. The deportment of the soldiers is perfect. I've never had to whip one of them. "About their studies they are much like students except that most of them want to write as small as they can. They seem to be too bashful to make their letters tall. "They try hard and most of them advance rapidly. Some of my experiences are surprising. When my pupils at Ft. Riley could write fairly well I thought it would be fine to have them write letters home. I was so enthusiastic over the idea that I obtained paper and stamps for them. When all was ready I told them about the heading of a letter and advised them against 'I seat myself and take my pen in hand to write you a few lines' and then waited expecting that I would soon have a fine batch of letters. "They didn't come and most of the men told me that they had never written a letter in their lives and didn't know how to tell things. "One man said, 'It's no use for me to write a letter home. My folks can't read English.' Ilis brogue was such that I believed him. One of the men wrote an interesting letter. The commander visited the school at its close and was well pleased with the work of the men. "I teach in the school every evening except Thursday, which is a night for recreation for the men and I take my husband's place in entertaining them in the exchange building. "We have a graphophone and use sacred music on Sudday night and humorous selections on Thursday evening. We also have a kinetoscope which the Army and Navy League helped us to buy. We have not bought films as yet, being desirous of finding pictures that can be used more than once and remain interesting. I assure that we shall choose one with battle pictures." We rented some pictures of battle scenes in the Philippines TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 17, 1905. and the men were so pleased that their applause caused the officers to come to the building; they feared that there was some disturbance. Every time the flag appeared they cheered. "The ninth Cavalry has a fine organ given to them by Clarence B. Moore of New York in memory of the charge at San Juan. "Colored men make fine soldiers. They drill well and they are obedient. If a man tries to pass a colored soldier who has been bidden to let no one pass, the consequences are that the man will have to be sent to the cemetery or the hospital. "I would like to teach music to those who will stay after school, the men like to sing so well but do not know the notes." If Mrs. Prioleau's plans are carried out some poor persons will owe their Thanksgiving dinners to the soldiers of the Barracks. In her other school rooms she has always been accustomed to leading the children in giving dinners for the poor. She spoke to the soldiers about this at song service Thursday night and asked each of them to give some little thing-a can of fruit or vegetables, a pound of sugar or to club together and buy a ham, not letting the expense of each amount to more than 7 cents. "Youl" enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner so much more," she promised them, and their response was such that Thanksgiving will be a real feast at the Barracks. Hon. John R. Lynch Hon. John R. Lynch, the lecturer of Nov. 24, is one of the last of the "old guard" of colored men who occupied conspicuous places in the period of reconstruction. "There were giants in those days and he was not the least among them." When we think of the days when he was most active there arises before the mental vision, a picture of that noble galaxy of men who constantly stood in the forefront of the battle for human rights-a battle incessantly waged in some form or other in all the generations of men. There were Sumner and Stevens and Phillips and Garrison among the white, and Bruce and Elliott and Lynch and Douglass among black men who were truly paladins of freedoms, who stood unswerving the champions of justice and constitutional rights for all men, without regard to complexion or degree. They are the noblest examples of devotion to lofty ideals in the history of the republic. Three times was Mr. Lynchelected to congress from the state of Mississippi, the third time, from the Shoestring district of that state. He was deprived of his seat by that morbid sentiment which permits fraud and bulldozing and murder and violence to elevate dishonorable men to honorable place in the councils of the nation and this, for the sake of an elusive and disgraceful peace. He is one of the best types of Negro character that still treads upon American sod. He believes in no cowardly concession or servile compromise that would barter away his own and the rights of his brotheren that "we may have meat." For he knows that life is "more than meat and the body, than raiment." Hear him at Shiloh Baptist Church Friday, Nov. 24. Admission 25cts. COLOR PREJUDICE AT THE HUTCHINSON REFORMATORY! Only White Boys are Given an Opportunity to Learn Trades—Negro Boys are Only Used as Porters-Gov. Hoch Should Investigate the Superintendent. The outrageous discrimination carried on by the officers in charge of the Hutchinson reformatory should be thoroughly investigated by the governor of this state and proper parties placed at the head who will treat all inmates alike irrespective of color or previous condition. A mother, in speaking of the treatment of her boy who was sent to the Reformatory a few years ago, said, "I visited that institution several times while my son was there. I favored sending him there thinking he would be taught some trade or given some idea of how to earn a living when he came to mingle with the outside world. I was told that the Reformatory at Hutchinson was for that purpose but after my second visit I concluded it was not the place for my boy, in fact, for any colored boy. Under the supervision of prejudiced white men, they do not give the colored boys any chance to learn trades but make porters, runners, dish washers and other little insignificant tasks that any body can do. All the skilled work is done by white boys. The PLAINDEALER has heard of those outrageous discriminations carried on in several of the state institutions of Kansas by white men who THINGS WORTH Topeka, November—Sylvester T. Smith, who began in Kansas with the beginning and afterward helped build the old Kansas Pacific railway, which since has become a part of the Union Pacific system, was in Kansas City a part of two days last week, and of course he and his old friend, Colonel W. H. Rossington of Topeka, had a "dinner session" at the Coates. Mr. Smith now makes his home in Chicago, but his heart is in Kansas and he frequently comes to the Missours river to visit old scenes and renew old friendships. Sometimes he journeys westward across the state to Colorado, where he has valuable mines, which have made him a rich man. Mr. Smith came to Kansas, originally, in 1858. He was born in Buffalo, N. Y., and about the time he became of age the nation rang with the story of Kansas and the great struggle between the North and the South for its control. Inspired by the spirit of freedom, Mr. Smith came to do his part, and when he landed at Wyandotte he selected a quarter section of land near Quindaro, which he preempted for a home, and which he owns to this day. It was a wooded tract, lying partly on the upland and extending over the bluff to the Missouri river. At that time steamboats plied the river, and their only fuel was wood, which they bought of settlers who lived along the stream. Among others who supplied this wood was Mr. Smith. He cut it himself and piled it at the "landing" where passing boats stopped to take it. His cords always were full cords, good honest cords, and his wood was sure to be taken. "Is it Syl Smith's wood?" the captain of the boat would ask of the mate. "Yes." "Then don't measure it. His cords are in control. There should be no discrimination between wards of the government. A black criminal should receive the same treatment that white criminals receive. One person should not be shown one favor in preference to another unless they merit it. When all live up to the strict rules of the institutions, all should be allowed the same show. Colored persons should be taught trades as well as the whites. The average white man thinks all colored people should aspire for is portership, janitorship, washing, ironing and cooking. When it comes to skilled work or position where big money is paid they think it is too much for a Negro therefore he is compelled to take a back seat and let Mr. Jealous Whiteman have it. Let Gov. Hoch investigate all of these institutions. We are hearing of several complaints of this kind. Let fair play and equal opportunities be given everybody. There is no reason why these state officials of public institutions should not be fair. The state pays them to be men of honor and integrity. Let us invoke these gentlemen to be as such. Kansas has no place or honor for the Vardiman, Tillman or Dixon kind. Her motto is to treat all people alike under her laws although the south is encroaching on our domain with her outrages of oppression. N. Curtles. are honest. Take it, and we will pay him when we come back." So, by forming in season and cutting wood in winter, Mr. Smith managed to get along, until the war broke out, when he enlisted in the ranka of company B of the First Kansas Volunteers. Later he became second lieutenant, then first lieutenant, next captain of the company, and finally, when he resigned, he was assistant adjutant-general on the staff of Brigadier General George W. Deitzler. Mr. Smith resigned in 1863 to become auditor of the Kansas Pacific railway, which just then beginning its long journey across the plains. The road started at the state line, where for many years the old station and eating house of the company stood. The road began at an oaken post of large dimensions, on one side of which, looking towards Kansas, was inscribed the word "Freedom," and on the opposite side, looking toward Missouri, the word "Slavery." A few months later came Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and by it, January I following, the slaves of the slaves of the South became free, and there was freedom all over the land. Mr. Smith was auditor of the Kansas Pacific fifteen years, until 1878, when he became its general manager. Afterward, when the property, got into court, he was made receiver. Later, he became general superintendent, in which capacity he served until the property changed hands and was merged into the Union Pacific system, when he was invited by the Pennsylvania to go east and institute for it a system of accounts. This work done he returned to Kansas City, Missouri, and until he left the state he lived in the big house overlooking the West Bottom, where now is the Keeley cure. In the meantime, he had made some fortunate investments in a Colorado mine, which for twenty years, or more, has been yielding a fine revenue. The recent "Bacon convention" held in Chicago, otherwise "The Inter-state Commerce Law Association convention," was not creditable to the advocates of rate-making by government. "Gag-rule" is no credit to any movement, and when added to it is bigotry, American "Square Deal" turns its head in shame. The meeting was called by E. P. Bacon of Milwaukee, who assumes to be the conscience-keeper of the whole country, including President Roosevelt. Desiring to impress the United States Senate, which is a conservative body and has a mind of its own, he flooded the country with circulars asking commercial organisations to send delegates to a convention. At this convention, according to the plan, they were to compare wrongs and warm themselves into the most violent anti-railroad rage. But information reached Mr. Bacon that was disconcerting. It appeared that he had not correctly guaged public sentiment. News reached him that the commercial bodies were naming delegates, either opposed to the Townsend-Each principle, or of open mind. Supplementary instructions were thereupon sent out, defining what would constitute acceptable credentials, and declaring that no delegate would be admitted unless he should sign an agreement to support a resolution in favor of giving the Inter state Commerce Commission rate making power. But even with such careful efforts to keep the tares out of the wheat, when the delegates arrived at Chicago it was found that the majority was opposed to the Bacon program. It was necessary to adopt heroic measures, and so the Cromwellian device of placing policemen at the door with instructions to let only those pass that Mr. Bacon said "all right" and would put on he provided. The rest of the story is known to the country—the refusal of the majority to be gagged, the separate convention, and the discomfiture of the politicians. Even Bacon was ashamed of his convention, and was not present. R. W. Turner of Mankato tells a good story on Congressman Reeder. A short time ago the two men met at a lunch counter in Downs. Now the two men are well acquainted, but, on this occasion, Mr. Reeder lost his bearings and mistook Mr. Turner for another man. "Hello, Judge," he said, shaking Mr. Turner's hand warmly "The very man I want to see. We are going to have a jollification up our way, and we want you to make a speech for us. Will you come!" Mr. Turner said he would, whereupon Mr. Reeder said he would tell the committee to send him an invitation. Just then Mr. Turner had to run to catch the Stockton train, and Mr. Reeder pursuing him yelled, "Judge, where shall we send that invitation; to Osborne, or to Smith Center?" "Oh, to Smith Center," Mr. Turner replied from the moving train. In a few days, Judge R. M. Pickler of Smith Center received an invitation to make a speech at the jollification and was on hand to fulfil. F. L. V. One of First District's Progressive Negroes. John Fleming, one of the best known and most highly respected colored men in northeastern Kansas, was in the city last night visiting his friend, Attorney T. W. Bell. Fleming is an example of what an industrious colored man can do for himself, if he but has the inclination. He located in Horton a number of years ago and opened a small barber shop. By strict attention he gained the respect of all the people in the community. He has just completed the erection of a fine two story business block in that city, and has one of the finest barber shops in the state. He does not owe a dollar on the property. If there were more John Flemings, white as well as colored, in every community, there would be a great many more better citizens than there are. As a side line Fleming indulges in the game of politics, and is one of the shrewdest politicians in Brown county.—Leavenworth Times. NUMBER 45. The People are Prosperous and Happy—Mayor Orr Gives all an Equal Opportunity. Of all the cities in Kansas there is only one that can boast of a good and true city government presided over by a man who is serving his second term as mayor, and who never lets his political preferment interfere with pushing the interests of his city with energy. Hon. James L. Orr has done much to place Atchison among one of the best cities in the union. Her citizens dwell in peace and harmony at all times, thereby bringing wealth and industry to her doors. Public sentiment is the law of that town and her people accept it as such. A population of 19,000, none need be idle, for her coal mines, railroad shops, brick plants, wholesale houses, and dozens of other industries afford excellent means of livelihood, and keep the laborers employed the year round. Millions of dollars are paid out annually, and then a handsome profit is netted for the investors. People having capital do not hesitate to invest it in a town like Atchison, for the reason that taxes are reasonable. Property is assessed ten percent of its actual value, while in Topeka it is fifty per cent. Another good reason is that long haired men and short haired women do not run the town. All cranks and smelling committees are banished as soon as their existence is discover3, and further, the church and city agree on a fixed policy by regulating all places from which the city derives a revenue. Such places must be on first class order and all the money paid into the city treasury where the taxpayers get the benefit. The city derives thousands of dollars from this source, and this money is used to pay for the new improvements being carried on by the city. By this method the city has built an addition to the city hall and fire station costing over $23,000. Over $75,000 has been expended on culverts and bridges. All this was paid out of the city treasury and not one cent from the property holders. Strangers can walk into Atchison any hour of the day or night and it would be difficult for them to find a place to appease their appetites. Not a drunken person is to be seen anywhere. It is as much of an impossibility for Governor Hoch to find a lawyer to accept the appointment of assistant attorney general as it was for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle, as was spoken of in olden times. In fact, there are no cheap idle lawyers in Atchison. They are each enjoying a lucrative practice, and can not afford to make lick spittles of themselves for the sake of a little cheap notoriety and to satisfy the whims of a few kickers who never do anything to help build cities. The citizens allow no interlopers or meddlers to interfere with their internal affairs. When it comes to business, Methodists, Baptists, Democrats and Republicans are all one, standing together and fighting for greater Atchison—her success and ultimate glory. Atchison's fire and police departments are as well equipped as any other of their size in the country, and their men are paid good salaries. Chief Sullivan has had long experience in police work and knows a crook when he sees one. He keeps a vigilant eye on the enforcement of ordinances, which always insures a clean city to live in, and perfect safety to walk in at all hour. As soon as some cities that we know of adopt the methods of Atchison, there will be no great difficulty to find ways and means to pave a few of the principal streets that are almost impassible. Wake up, learn, grow and prosper. NICK CHILES. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Dr. H. T. Johnson, editor of the Christian Recorder of Philadelphia, Penn., accompanied by Bishop and Mrs. Abram Grant, and Dr. McDonald of Western Christian Recorder, visited Western University, Monday, Nov. 13th, and addressed the students in chapel. Dr. Johnson has just returned from a tourist trip in London, Paris and Switzerland, and his address was full of rich thought and wholesome advice. He was very much encouraged with the great progress shown at Western University, and urged the students to work on and up to matter-minds in their studies, trades and vocal renditions. Improvements are still being made upon the campus, brick walks are being laid from the ladies' dormitory to the main building. President Vernon's mansion is just about finished, and is a beautiful residence that overlooks the the University farm and in the not far off distant shores and muddy waves of the Missouri river. Miss Gertrude Crutchfield of Garnett, Kansas, a graduate of the sewing department, paid us a visit on her way from Des Moines, Iowa last week. The Western University concert band will render several selections at the dedication of the Trades building. Mr. and Mrs. Ellison of Chicago, visited Miss Olva Ellison, our fine alto vocalist last week. They were well pleased with the work of the departments. Prof. Harry R. Graham has just completed the erection of a beautiful little five room cottage with modern improvements, near the campus. With the home of President Vernon and the new building recently completed such dignity and real estate value has been added to the surrounding community. The faculty has decided that our young ladies will all wear black serge uniform dresses and collars, and the University band and cadets will wear the regulation military uniforms. The football team of Western University visited Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, and George R. Smith College, Sedalia, Mo. At both places they were treated in a royal manner by the students; our boys fought bravely for "Old Gold and Blue," with the vim of giants and played a strenuous losing game. The score being 15 to 7. Both colleges are making noble efforts toward the education of the Negro boys and girls of America. No better opportunity was ever afforded the American Negro than presents itself to-day. The young Negro must learn to do, and then keep on doing. PUEBLO, COLO. Mrs. Dr. S. A. Huff, who has been on the sick list is out again. Mr. Allert Stewart and Mrs. M. Harris were the guest Mrs. Howard M. Freeman, Sunday. Rev. E. M. Harris filled the pulpit at St. John A. M. E. church Sunday night. He will leave soon for Canada. Mrs. Sophia Hubert is at Saint Mary's hospital. Mr. Benjamin is at Saint Mary's hospital suffering from a broken limb. He is improving slowly. Rev, F. L. Scott from the Missouri Conference passed through here en route to Leadville to take charge of the A. M. E. Churob there. He is at Mrs. J. P. Watson, 1101 Palmer ave. Mr. Jim Morris, an old settler here died Monday evening, 13th inst. His daughter and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Downing from Guthrie, Okla., are here to attend the funeral. The ladies of the Modest Art club celebrated their anniversary Thursday evening at the residence of Hon. and Mrs. W. B. Townsend, 1029 Palmer. The evening was very pleasantly spent in conversation and games. A very interesting programme was rendered. After which dainty refreshments were served. Every one present expressed themselves as having spent quite an enjoyable evening. Those present were: Messrs C. A. Greenway, J. A. Jones, E. C. Thompson, D. M. Tannehill, W. B. Townsend, B. F.

The Texas State Fair and Dallas Exposition closed its gates to visitors Sunday night at twelve, after one of the most successful exhibitions in its history. The weather was fine and with the exception of one or two ugly days there were no hinderances whatever. When Captain Smith, secretary of the company was asked if there would be Negro day during the exhibition, he replied, "no, every day will be Negro day." Later on, though after the fair had been in progress more than a week, it was announced through the columns of the Dallas Morning News that the 4th and 6th would be Negro day, at which time the principal attractions would be, wood-sawing, cracker-eating and shoe-shining, which prizes were offered ranging from $10 to $65. The better class of Negroes did not go, and it was seldom spoken of only in a general way. Many of the attractions were exclusively for the whites. When this was telegraphed over town the Negroes rolled their sleeves up in a quiet and orderly manner determined to fight it down. The excursion Negroes even hung on the corners of the streets and at various other places rather than go out to the grounds. News comes from a certain Georgia town that a respectable, always so, white man had been accused of committing rape on a five year old colored child. One thousand Negroes assembled with a view to lynching him, but they did not succeed. The paper mentioned that a "frenzied" mob of Negroes did so and so. Whenever a mob of whites take out and hang a Negro, they are spoken of as vory orderly. It makes all the difference "whose ox is gored." New Hope Baptist church, which Dr. A. L. Jackson is pastor will soon be completed at a cost of twenty thousand dollars. It is of modern design and handsomely built of pressed brick. We would not mention this edifice, but for the fact that all the work have been done by Negroes. The Negroes of Dallas are a thrifty and industrious class. Many of them own their business houses, besides scores of them live in good twelve and fifteen hundred dollar residences and street cars pass right by their doors. The kinds of business varies here among Negroes as elsewhere ranges from a greasy soup joint to handsomely fitted up cafes in that line, besides grocery stores, millinery and dressmaking parlors. We have also a large three story brick sanitarium owned by Dr. B. I. Bluit, one of the leading physicians of the state. Dr. Anderson and Mr. D. Rowen, also own good brick buildings. Dr. Anderson uses part of his building for a dwelling and offices, while that of Mr. Rowen's is used by him for a grocery store. Dennis Hooper, the only Negro druggist is doing a fine business, and is a most courteous gentleman of high attainments. The Dallas Express and the World have offices here. The Express, with its proficient editor, W. E. King, has from nine to one doreen employees and are kept as busy as bees, besides this Mr. King has the most up-to-date cafe south of Topeka, Kan., with the Empire lodge, a rooming house as a side line. There are hundreds of other business covering the many lines of trade, all of which are prosperous. Monk Gibson, a sixteen year-old colored boy, who is accused of killing the Candid family at Edena a short time ago, and was to be tried in San Antonio on the 20th inst.. will not be tried in that town until December 10th. Dallas is voting today on a water bond issue. All are quiet and but little interest so far is being manifested. In the District court of Shawnee County, State of Kansas. F. H. Martin, Plaintiff.

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 PLAINDEALER 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. JOHN HARRISON.

POULTRY Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to wasts all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or outhouse, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x12 space will hold a big wagon load safely. When real cold weather sets in we hash up a bushelful with an old axe and feed them to the laying hens. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our stocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we may look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make our hens lay. CRICULTUR Bubsoil for Fruit Trees. 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 largely go together. We have seen land that was friable on top and down a little way was composed of a layer of stones 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 surent way to improve the subsoil 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 difference with the general character of the soil, for the frost had not had time to work. But after the frost for two or three winters had got in to the 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. Natur does not have to be fed and clothed, and therefore is not conserved 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 man can eat rather than into the formation of wood and leaves, which he cannot eat. The Creator has placed in the hands of man the power of directing the processes of nature to a considerable extent. Man prune 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 not 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. Colery in process of blanching is best 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 fold 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 winter. Bees Useful to Farmers The great value and usefulness of the common honey bee on the farm has been terribly 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 "cholestly called sweets" from your orchard, and you may take it and feast yourself on the apple-blossom flavored honey, or you may sell it for dollars and cents, yet neither your trees nor your farm is the loser by one penny's worth. If the bees take a little toll from the fruit, what of it? Should they not be repaid for officiating at the cupids of your fruit blossoms. But do they take toll? LIVE STOCK Good Feed Rack. Last spring we published a description of a feeding rack to be made with or without trough, which plans were furnished us by a subscriber whose paten.s on the rack had expired and who had no further use for the plans. Mr. Ia I. Nixon, a prominent stockman of Dewitt county, Illinois, writes concerning this plan as follows: I have added a trough all around this rack floored to the outside of posts and used pieces 1½ foot 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 thin's I have the best rack I ever new for shook corn, straw, hay, or ear corn, as ear corn or ground feed can be for 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 3x4's for the bottom bolts full width of rack and one on each end to ho'd 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 corn meal and will give you my results when cattle are shipped out. I am feeding 100 head, and I neww 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 out the following materials are required for the rack sixteen feet long; Two pieces 2x8 16 feet long; 4 pieces 2x4, 14 feet; 4 pieces 2x6, 16 feet; 8 pieces 2x4, 14 feet; 1 piece, 2x4, 12 feet; 2 pieces 1x6, 18 feet; 3 pieces 1x6, 16 feet; 5 pieces 2x6, 14 feet; 9 pieces 1x12, 16 feet; 1 piece 1x18, 14 feet; 56 pieces, 1x3, 4 feet; 4 wood serrows, 8 inches long; 4 bolts %x2 inches; 4 bolts %x7 inches; 26 bolts, %x5 inches; 9 bolts %x6 inches; 8 bolts %x4 inches; 8 pounds 8-penny wire nails; washers for all bolts; 4 pounds 10-penny nails. —Wallace's Farmer. Workina Brood Mara. Some of the leading horse breeders of the country never put their breed mares in harness. They provide care 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 immediately, and others are born so weak that they die soon afterward. Most horse breeders, especially those of long experience, prefer that mares in foal should have regular exercise in the form of light work, but jerking and straining should be avoided under all circumstances. For best results it is a good plan to use three horses for work that would be required of two under ordinary circumstances. This is not done at an additional expense of one-third, because three horses will do more work than two, if the speed alone is considered. Then it often happens that plows and cultivators may be set on both 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 Socks in Central South Dakota we and too many who do not appreciate the use of a first class ram. We have recently seen a binch of 600 ewes whose lambs alone could have brought at least 8000 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 books at these things from any point of view, it is a puzzle to know why so many sheep ralers 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 grains 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 fast should be kept in mind that turkey home of the best quality in their second or third year of laying make the best producers. The medium sized, well formed hens that have good strong home and constitutional vigor are the ones to select for brooders. POULTRY We herewith illustrate a foul fattening crate, used at the Ontario Agricultural College. This crate is six feet six inches long, eighteen to twenty inches high and sixteen inches wide. It is divided into three compartments, each holding from four to five birds, according to the size of the chickens. The crate is made of slats, except the ends. The slats are usually one and a half inches wide and five-eighths inches thick. The slats in front are run up and down ```markdown ``` and are two inches apart, to allow the chickens to put their heads through for feeding. The slats on the bottom are three-fourths inches apart, so as to admit of the droppings passing through to the ground. Care should be taken not to have the first bottom slat at the back fit closely against the back, as this will hold the droppings. The feeding and watering are done by means of a trough in front running the entire length of the soop. This trough is from two to three inches deep and is made of three-fourths-inch lumber.—Farmers' Review. Golds and Beams Roup in fowls of all kinds is very dangerous to the whole flock. The hatchet is the best cure for it after the fowl's head becomes fouly odorous. Roup starts from colds, damp quarters, foul air, and other causes. When a cold gets bad and runs into a form of catarrh it is then almost sure to go into roup. Burn or bury all fowls that die or are kill of it. Weak constitutional flocks are always troubled with colds and roup. Kill them off and try new blood. A cold can be cured in a healthy fowl by an application of three or four drops of coal oil in the fowl's nostrils. Never get it in the eyes. Put enough per manganate of potash in the drinking water to color it. This is good for threat infections of all kinds and will prevent the spread of the trouble. Farm Life. Wood Grouse. "The wood grouse is sometimes called the 'cock of the woods.' Early in the spring when the breeding season begins the male takes his post up on some elevation, displays his plumage in the manner of a turkey cook and utter a loud cry compared with the words 'peller-peller-peller' frequently with increasing rapidity, terminating in a sort of a gulp and drawing in of breath. The singular call brings the females together. The cock birds are exceeding jealous, especially of the younger brothren, whom they try to keep from calling or displaying themselves."—Wallace's Farmer. Wintering the Flock. It is of no advantage to carry a lot of fowls over into spring unless there is some object in view, and the poultryman is confident that it will pay to winter the birds. Before winter arrives there should be a reduction in the number as close as possible in order to avoid crowding. Room on the roosts and on the floor is a necessity when the ground is covered with snow. Select the best, and then select again in order to avoid mistakes. It is better to have a few good fowls that pay than to retain a large number that are unprofitable. Band for Chickenz The New York experiment station at Geneva has found that sand, both in a ration without animal food and in one containing animal food with bone enables poultry to better use of the food eaten. This is especially the case with chicks. It was found that chicks did much better when sand alone was supplied for grit than when oyster shells were supplied either alone or in combination with sand. There appeared to be some unfavorable action of the material in the oyster shells upon the digestive action. Best Grain for Poultry. Oats will prove more profitable than other grain for feeding poultry, in spite of the fact that some poultrymen are opposed to their use. They are the best balanced of all the grains, and if kept before poultry all the time the birds will never eat more than they should. The large proportion of hull seems to be a relief to the digestive organs, which find solid grain too compact for best handling. Poultrymen that have fed oats for years are loud in their praise. Selling Eggs by Weight. In France official agents are appointed to inspect not only the number and quality of all eggs marketed but all eggs which pass through a hole of curtains size are rejected. If eggs were sold by weight in this country with twenty-four ounces to the dozers as the legal standard what a relative difference it would create among the breeds. Everybody would be scrambling to secure fowls which would always lay eggs up to weight. CENTRALIA, NOTES. These items are to inform the public that Centralia is yet on the map.

Monroe, assistant county clerk, has just completed a statement of the taxes levied and a financial statement of Shawnee county made annually to the state auditor. The showing is an exceptionally fine one and shows that Shawnee county has gained $282,358 in the valuation of taxable property in the county over last year's statement. Last year the county had $8,024,35 in outstanding warrants, while this year there are no outstanding warrants. In 1904 the total indebtedness of the county was $489,000. This year the total indebtedness is but $445,000 or $43,000 less than last year. The total amount of taxes collected last year was $865,896,97, while there is due this year in taxes to the county $915,896,97 making a gain of $60,707,56 of taxes which are due the county on its assessed valuation. The taxes are divided as follows; State taxes.....$86,463,06 County taxes.....173,585,68 City taxes.....344,816,95 Township taxes.....31,818,62 Levee and drainage tax.....3,744,73 School district tax.....276,367,98 Total taxes year 1905 $915,896,97 The rate per cent on each $100 is 5-9-100 mills. The state board of railroad assessors, who have the assessing of the railroads, telephone and telegraph companies, have filed their statement of the assessed valuation of these properties in Shawnee county with the county clerk. In 1904 the assessed valuation of these properties in this county was $5,218,195. The board's report this year shows that the valuation is $5,575,080 or an increase of $256, 885. LINCOLN INSTITUTE The fourth annual Farmers' convention at Lincoln Institute was called to order at 9 A.M. November 10 by Dr. B, F. Allen, president. "America" with piano accompaniment was sung with enthusiasm by the large audience of students and visiting friends from the city. The newly organized but already famous Lincoln Institute band played stirring patriotic airs: "Stars and Stripes," Uncle Sam," etc. The annual address was then delivered by Dr. Allen. As a preliminary remark he stated that one of the main objects of the convention was to show the students assembled the value of farm life; the dignity of labor; and to correct erroneous impressions relative to working in the soil. During the address the president referred to the wonderful resources of Missouri, the value of its land per acre; and urged the students to look forward to the purchase of some of that land and work upon it. He urged the study of political economy that they might learn the laws of wealth; the laws of profit; of production and consumption, and enlisted them to become producers as well as consumers. He spoke of the necessity of building up excellent communities in various parts of the state; of putting brains into one's work; and emphasized the fact that the Negro must learn to have something that other people need if he hopes to demand proper respect from the world at large. He deplored the mortgage system which so many seem to invite, and urged the improvement of home life in every way. With literature at reduced rates, rural delivery, telephone connection, etc., there is today no excuse for ignorance on the part of the farmer. The speaker did not wish to be understood as telling every boy to go to the farm, but the race must have its quota of intelligent farmers working with up to-date implements and labor-saving devices, if it is to be able to stand the competition of American life. He thought the Negro should acquire stability and the desire to accumulate, that he should not change his position too frequently without knowing a good reason for making the change, and that in everything we undertake we should strive to measure up to the best; in other words should give intelligent service and the best that is within us in every line of work. He impressed the fear that the Negro boy is not keeping up with the Negro girl in any line of work and urged the boys to put forth greater efforts. After the song, "Columbia" had been sung by the audience, with characteristic energy, President Allen cafted for speakers from the student body representing various counties of the state and states of the union. Among the responses were the following: Buchanan—Percy Robinson. Cole—Jeanette Horrell. Howard—Richard Jackson. Jackson—Howard Hickerson. Johnson—Grant Tayes. Marion—Alice Shropshire. Randolph—Walter Viley. Ray—Lawrence Kimbrough. St. Frances—Kitsy Townsend. St Louis—Lealie Ford. Saline—Morton Henderson. Southwest Missouri—Messrs, C. Shackleford and Rucker. Texas had and interesting and humorous speaker in William Scott, and Kansas in James Saunders of the college department. College yells enlivened the various speeches and the intervals. "The Star Spangled Banner" was rendered by the school in an artistic manner, and after the closing remarks, in which President Allen cordially thanked all who had helped to make the session a success, the convention adjourned to meet at an early date (hereafter to be specified) in November, 1906. Dr. B. F. ALLEN, President, JOSSEPHINE S. YATES, Sec'y. LAWRENCE, KANS. The football game played on McCook field between the Western University and K. U. last Friday was called at 2:30 o'clock. K. U. first kicked off to W. U., the ball falling beyond the ten yard line and was caught by Escoe, K. U.'s star right half, who went terrifically through W. U. fortification making ten yards more. From then until Escoe made the first touchdown, K. U. made their fast gains by plunging through W. U.'s tackles. K. U. finding their opponents' weak spot in their tackles, continued to hammer on them until their noted full back, McNutt, went over for the second touch down. De Frantz failed to kick goal and at the end of the first half the score. K. U. 11; W. U. o. The second half was opened by Fishback kicking off to K. U. Crouch, K. U.'s strong left half, received the ball and returred five yards. As K. U. was struggling for a third touch down, Jacobs, the powerful quarter back was taken from the field on account of a sprained ankle. Everyone then thou got the game would go to pieces, but Elgin Woodie, the extra quarter back, was soon on the field and the game went on as if no change had been made. McNutt finally got the ball and went over for a second touchdown. Do Frants kicked an easy goal, making the score 17 to 0 in favor of K. U. Struggling on K. U.'s left half attempted to make an end run when he was tackled by two of W. U.'s men and carried backwards over the line, giving W. U. 2 for a touch back. Time was called, leaving the score K. U. 1;; W. U. 2. By W. U.'s fumbles K. U. managed to keep the ball, through the greater part of the game, although when W. U. did not have the ball they made it interesting for K. U. There was never a better game played from a standpoint of conduct. The boys from both universities are to be complimented for their gentle manly bearing. Mrs. Robert King entertained the "Sierra Leone" club last Tuesday afternoon. The literary is very interesting at the A. M. E. church every Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Ross, formerly a well known Leavenworth colored man, but who now lives in the Port Williams settlement, north of Leavenworth, is the father of twenty one children by one wife and prospeots are still bright. Mr. Rose is a man of great physical strength and endurance although small in statue. It is claimed that no man in his community has ever been able to throw him in a wrestling match. He is an enthusiastic hunter and when he goes hunting he will run all night, keeping up with his hounds in their long chases after the wily raccoons. FARM MISCELLANY 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 in 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 pieces 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 cooler in winter wherever the owner heats his house by means of a furnace. The natural conditions in such a cellar are favorable to the forcing of asparagus, as the temperature of might usually hovers around 55 degrees and in the day time runs from 55 degrees to 30 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 messages of tender asparagus in winter. To get the results named, roots are dig 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, so they then respond more quickly to the forcing process. They are placed in boxes in the cellar as the funnace. Two or three inches of soil should be under the roots and five, six 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 vials 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 troughs in warm weather, to remove the scum 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 bandy arrest is readily made by slaking the lime, filling a three-gallon pail about half full, adding about two ounces of crumble carbolis 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 baking. This is the most practical advantage, as well in lighting up the barn, in making it frothy, clean and whisky some when sprayed on the walls, in the spring and fall—Framery Guide FARM ITS HEART. 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 so coolely 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 farms 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 ra 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 stock 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 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 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 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. 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 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.—Farm, Stock and Home. Our Butter Abroad. The government has been making weekly experimental exports of the best quality of creamery 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. No Lime On Manure. It is a mistake to put Hime in the measure heap, for it destroys the malt of ammonia, and by compiling it we take the gaseous form drives it on. Kame will rot measure 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 its good authority. Mrs. Tillie Renfro of Kansas City, arrived in the city Sunday on a visit with her brother, Mr. William Ham, other relatives and friends. She returns home today. While in the city she was the guest of Miss Saidee Barker, 905 N. Taylor St. MARRIED:—At Colby, Kansas, Mr. Minor E. Hiokman of Topeka, to Miss Lizzie Reed of Denver, Colo., on Saturday, November 11.

The "Sock" social, the latest in church entertainments, given Wednesday evening at the residence of Miss Nannie Marshall, 900 Topeka avenue, North Topeka, by Misses S. A. Barker and Florence Smith, for the benefit of the B St. Baptist church, was a glowing success, both socially and financially. During the evening many visited the scene of action and left pennies in proportion to the size of their sock worn doubled. The evening was pleasantly spent in social amusements and in the hiding away of fried chicken, ice cream, cake, etc. $17.80 was the sum realized, $14 being the net profit from the social. The most pleasant event of the evening came when the managers of this affair presented this neat sum to Mr. Washington Tolliver, the faithful janitor of the church, who acknowledged his appreciation of the kindness of the ladies in a few well chosen words, and when he departed for home he went with a light heart and a heavy pocket, for many a penny bore his. Every one present shared with Mr./Tolliver in the happiness attending. Messrs. Bailer, Bowsfield and Elliott of the State University were guests of Dean Buckner Saturday. While in the city they were entertained at Guy's hall by the young men of the city. Prot. and Mrs. Jackson entertained a few friends Friday evening at lunch; the principal dish served was orabs on the half shell which had been shipped to the professor by his sister.

The boy preacher—a wonder of the twentieth century, James L. Washington will be in Topeka about Sunday, Nov. 19. The St. Joseph Daily Gazette says he is a wonder, and knows almost the entire Bible. He has preached since he was five years old. He is said to be a natural orator, never having attended school a day. Sheriff Lucas returned last Thursday from Vancouver, B. C., with Dave Brown, who jumped his bond almost a year ago. He was in hiding at Lady Smith, B. C., when captured, going under an assumed name. The sheriff was accompanied on the trip by his wife and daughter. Dave came without requisition papers. The sheriff has the document, which he will always keep as a souvenir, as he is the first officer known to be so lucky as to bring a prisoner from a foreign country without producing papers. This is the greatest capture ever made in Shawnee county from the fact that it is the first time an officer of this county has captured a prisoner out of the United States. This week our jobrooms completed the Minutes for the A. M. E. Kansas Conference. It is one of the best jobs ever turned out for the conference and all are highly pleased with the work, and the neat and accurate manner in which they were compiled by Secretary B. R. Guy. Mrs. A. Williams and daughter, Bessie, returned Thursday from Oklahoma City, after spending four weeks visiting her son. Mr. R. B Williams. She found the colored people of that city prospering. Mrs. R. B.

TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT, SAINT LOUIS. --- Probably the greatest wonder of the Twentieth century is the silver tongued orater, J. L. Washington, the boy preacher and lectueer, who is perfection as a scholar of the Bible. He is now at the age of seventeen, and not having attended school a day in his life is able to recite verbatim 536 chapters of the Bible. He has been at the work since the age of five. This wonderful boy will be in this city with his course of Biblical lectures, for a weeek or more, commencing Monday, Nov. 20th. Hon. Booker T. Washington says: "I know James Washington. He is the world's wonder." JONES' LAST STRUGGLE! He Raised Thirty Cents in Leavenworth. A special dispatch from Leavenworth, Kans., to the Topeka Herald says that Paul Jones and another colored man of Topeka were circulating a paper there trying to raise sufficient means with which to fight the Topeka Plaindealer. Among the names on the list was that of Governor Hoch, who subscribed $5.00. The dispatch further states that at the court house they succeeded in raising 30 cents. Right will always prevail, and Gov. Hoch, Jone & Company might as well halt. The Negroes of this state are going to stand up for their rights and nothing can stop us until we get a square deal. Gov. Hoch no doubt sees his finish, and is like a man drowning, grabbing at straws in a vain effort to save himself STRONG CITY, KAN. Rev. Lee Hurts of Gurnett was in the city a few days shaking girl hands with old acquaintances. Mrs. J. Dobbins spent a few days here on business.

Ethes is the talk of the town. Since Mr. Wadlington took charge of this hostelry new life has been put into it. He is the only caterer in town. Mrs. Inez Jackson who has been sick, is improving slowly. Miss Ora Carter who has been ill several weeks, is out again. LIVE STOCK The Record Stockman of Denver is authority for the statement that about 5,000 sheep are being fattened at Greeley, Colo., by the Greeley Sugar company. They are divided up in pens of 700 to 600 sheep each, each pen being in charge of a feeder whose business it is to watch them closely. Oct. 11, at the time they were put on feed, they averaged seventy four pounds each, and during the first three weeks made a gain of two and a half pounds per head per week. The ration is ten pounds of pulp to one half pound of alfalfa hay per day per head. To this ration it is expected to add a small ration of sugar beet molasses. Experiments last year indicated that the molasses tended to make a firmer flesh, and that sheep fed with it as part of the ration shrunk less in shipping. The sugar company expects to feed during the season approximately 15,000 head of sheep and 500 to 600 head of cattle. The results last year were a profit of 90 cents per head for the pulp feed sheep. Experiments were conducted last year in feeding pulp and alfalfa and corn, with the result that the pulp and alfalfa fed sheep gained from 15 to 25 per cent more than those which received the corn in addition—Wallace's Farmer. SIR ALLEN PETER SMITH, 330 One of the "Old Guard" Who Will B: Strongly in Evidence. Care of the Bull. In the care of the bull gentleness is the first consideration. He learns that no one is going to abuse him and he does not look for trouble. Firstly, a bull should be raised right, then there is no trouble. It takes many months to tame a badly raised bull and our advice is to let such a bull alone. Have a small stable or pen by the barn or other convenient place where the bull may be kept. An exercising lot is essential to his health. Brush him off daily and feed him a little grain. Feed only clean hay, and salt should always be before him. Water him regularly. Good service from him is only had by giving him good care. When a bull is kept up and a record is made of each cow bred, all the calves may be saved that bad weather would kill if they came at such times. Have a sort of system about things in the care of A Very Rare Chance!

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 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 until to make good food for chickens. We have 10 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 milk for such work.—Farm and Fireside. 300 KNIGHTS TEMPLAR Will Be in Attendance---A Banquet and Contest Drill for the Prize Cup Now Held by Cyrene Commandery. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale photograph of a person holding a rifle, but the details are not clear. 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 ra is far harder to hedge 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. Let 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 years 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 be pretty sure of reaping 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. Beason'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. Maine is credited with the largest average acre yield, 215 bushels. The Southern states had from 61 to 80 bushels, except Florida, which grew 102 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 creamery 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. No Lime On Manure. It is a mistake to put time in the manure heap, for it destroys the rules of armoris, and by comparing 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 its good authority. DECREES OF FASHION PRETTY AND CORRECT THINGS TO WEAR. Blesses or Shirt Waist Suitable for All Materials—Skirt With Shirred or Plaid Yoke—Velvet Ribbon Trimming—Hints for the Home. Popular Separate Bleuces 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 labe- tween blouses, dressy enough for the theater or lunachions, 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 arti- tle a way. Those exquisite soft crepes with flower prints are charming draped and trimmed with tiny hand- run tucks, or puffs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon failles, in exquisitely soft shades of pink or blue, or violet, make up into beautiful blouses. But, besides silk, soft fine woolen stuffs—mostly white, are being used a great deal. Albatross, silk-and-wool stuffs, soft wool crepes and a dozen others are made up into as attractive blouses, in their way, as the silks are in theirs. Magnificent Evening Conta- 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 cap 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 DRESS Boleto lines, to be at all modish, must cling close to the figure. One handsome black velvet gown had applique of white kid for trimming. Moleskin will certainly be worn by those who purchased garments thereof last winter. Brond 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 wrist and suspending the watch it front. Silk belts that match the gown are draped tight without it buckle delineating the suppleness of the waist. There was never a more favorable time to get out old 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 waltings 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 admi 1 able both for this special waist and as a model for the odd ones of which there can never be too many. The waist is made with fronts and back that are fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams, and is gathered at the waist line, the back being drawn down smoothly, the fronts made to blouse over the belt. The sleeves are the accepted ones of the season, and are finished with straight cuff, and the shaped stock snishes the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 44 yards 31 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 46 inches wide, with 14 yard of any width for stock. Worn at Chicago Horse Show. An effective and elaborate white gown in India laws and lace insertion, seen at the Chicago horse show, had a marrow pointed bodies girdles and above the girdle were puffs of feathers and the material, which fitted the tight-fitting lining perfectly. This extended to the line of a yoke, where a knee berta was set about the shoulders. The sleeves were made of puffs of the lawn and lace and ended at the elbow. The hats worn at the hose show were vory elaborate, the Columborough, 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. Herald. Misses' Skirt with Shirred or Plain Yoke. Full skirts that fall in soft, graceful folds appear to gain in favor day by day and are peculiarly becoming 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 stuffs—silk, wool, cotton and linen—are equally appropriate. The shirred yoke is muol liked and is always pretty when the figure is slender, but when, as often is the case in young girls, additions bulk at the belt is to be avoided, the plain yoke made of lace or of other fancy material is to be preferred. The shirt is cut in one circular piece, straight lengths of the material being sewed together to give the necessary width, and when shirrers is arranged over the foundation that also serves for the plain yoke when shirrings are not used. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6½ yards 28 inches wide, 5 yards 27 inches wide or 3½ yards 44 inches wide, with 4½ yards of applique and ½ yard of all over face when yoke is used. A Pretty Fall Fashion. A pretty fashion which has been started of late is that of wearing coats of colored velvet or ribbon, on the left side of the corsage 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 chiffon. 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, ursiahed lime 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 useudent 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 mable apply to them a mixture of oxalic acid and methylated spirits, leave it on short time and then rub dry with a soft cloth. Lemon juice will sometimes remove the stains. When winds blow and there is frost in the air put handkerchiefs, collars, cuffs and all small articles in the wash to dry in a pillow case. The fabric is spared whipping by the wind, they will freeze dry and be quickly gathered for brewing. 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 moire and double faced colorings, 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 Portieres. To prevent portieres catching underneath the door when opened quickly, narrow 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. OMAHA, NEB.

William Estelle was overcome by gas while taking a bath at the Waiter's club, Sunday afternoon, and was rendered unconscious. He was removed to his room at G. A. Boston's home, where medical aid was given and he was able to be about his work Monday. Rev Taylor, en route from Topeeka to his home in Butte, Mont., stopped over in the city for several days and preached for Mt. Zion, Sunday; also, Monday night. On Tuesday night he lectured, his subject being "Awake and Shake Yourself." It was very interesting. Rev Taylor left Tuesday night for his home. Mr Douglas Houston, of Dead wood, S. Dak., has entered the Lincoln Medical College, to study medicine. The members of the AME laid the cornerstone of their new church on last Sunday afternoon. A very appropriate program was carried out.

Mrs Lirsie Bratcher received the glad tidings from her son, Fred, last week, after two years absence, that he is the Philippines, well, and expecting to be home soon. It is rumored that a colored hotel and restaurant will be opened up here in the near future. We trust it will mature. Rev W. II. Vandergee will celebrate the opening of his church, Christian, at 23rd and P. streets, December 10th. COLUMBTS, KAS. Quite a number attended the banquet at Baxter Springs last Saturday night, given by the Masonico lodge.: Rev Gunter and Mr Frank Fagan of Mineral, were here Sunday. Mr. Ernest Woodard was up from Joplin Saturday night, visiting the home folks. Quite a number of colored workmen are here, laying gas mains in East Columbus. A young white man by the name of Robert Jones, head clerk in the largest dry goods and grocery store here, was shot Sunday night by J. N. Lynch, another white man, for trying to break into the latter's house. oJnes, however, was drunk at the time, and his wound is not fatal One of the newspapers, the Advocate, says: "On account of the request of intimate friends we leave out of the paper all mention of it, not knowing the true story o it." Well and good; but if Jones had been a Negro who was shot breaking into a white man's house this same paper would have had it in glaring headlines, praising the white man, and condemning the "Black Brute," whether he heard the true story or not. Now, if the editor of that paper, and all other editors of white publications, will be just as particular in publishing things against the Negro as in this case they would show some degree of fairness. We think all public happenings should be published in the newspapers for they are relied upon to give the correct account of all public occurrences, which puts a stop to public gossip. We all know there is more harm done in indiscriminate talk than by the papers.. There may be a few exceptions, but not in this case. PUBLICATION NOTICE. No. 23533.

The nitrogen of the soil is one of its most important constituents and a far tilting 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 in 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 is 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 cabar in winter wherever the owner heats his house by means of furnace. The natural conditions in such a cabar are favorable to the forcing of asparagus, as the temperature might usually hovers around 65 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 means of tender asparagus in winter. To get the results named, roots are dig 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 places in boxes in the cellar after the funnace. 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 can not 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 Home 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 troughs in warm weather, to remove the scum 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 cheap and handy agent is readily made by slaking the lime, allowing a three-gallon pail about half full, adding about two ounces of crude 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 advantage, as well, in lighting up the barn, making it sweet, clean and wholesome when sprayed on the wall, in the cooking and fall—Formerly Guide KALLITHRIX PARLOR.

Mr. Fisher who has very recently moved his family here from Birmingham, Ala., has started two of his children to school. Father Goodwin was told by the city marshal that he would have to move his shack back across Main street, but this he refused to do, so on the night of the 9th some one set fire to the building, but the fire boys put out the flames before very much damage was done. Natural gas was turned on in the city this week. New buildings are still going up and things look prosperous. A handsome new brick building was erected on Main street last summer and another is now going up and the white Baptists are building a handsome new church edifice on Main street. Rev. P. J.
