TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House e Chas. Scott Can See a as a cooling spring to a thirsty soul. We have been waiting patiently for some time for one of the great men of our country, with national influence, to rise in the majesty of his manhood in the defense of a helpless people and simply state the facts with reference to this contingent of Americans, give counsel and advice and throw a new lustre upon the star of hope held out by President Roosevelt Eternity alone will make known the good you are doing along the lines above indicated, and on behalf of a grateful people I thank you. Yours in Christian faith St. Paul, Feb. 26. Right Rev. Den Sir I am glad that you were pleased with my lecture in Kansas City and I thank you for your kind expres- sions of approval. In what I said of the Negro problem I simply spoke what my sense of justice demands and what my heart certainly desires. I believe that the solution of the Negro problem lies along the lines indicated by me—charity and patience both on the part of the white man and on the part of the black man. Men in influential positions, such as you, can do very much towards the solution by upbuilding the Negro race and calming the prejudices of the white race. You're sincerely, John Ireland, Right Rev. Abraham Grant. CAPT. M'NARY IS CLEAN! An Eminent Soldier and Citizen Seeks Your Support for County Attorney. The business and laboring men should get out Saturday and forever stamp out this continual howl about Law and Order. This cry is kept up to place men in office and nothing else. We want Topeka to grow and prosper like a green bay tree. Whiskey is licensed in Topeka under the drug store system and the city nor county derives any benefit from it. It makes but little difference who is elected to office, whiskey will be added in Topeka. Let us down this element that is sending out malicious and scandalous lies about Topeka. If you can't speak a good word for Topeka and her growth, keep your tool mouth closed and move out. Down the howling gang of blasphemera. The following is what Col. G. D. Munson, of Los Angeles. Cal., says about Capt. J. R. McNary who is candidate for county attorney I learn with great pleasure that Capt. J. K. McNary is a candidate for county attorney of Shawnee county, Kansas I knew Mr. McNary when a boy in Muskingum college, Ohio, and afterwards as a soldier in the Civil war in the 75th regiment Ohio volunteer infantry. His service in the field of that regiment began at Fort Donnelson, and ended with the close of the war. On its battle flag the names of the bloodiest battles of the Southwest are inscribed. Where the army of the Tennessee and 17th army corps and General Logan's fighting 3rd division marched and conquered, there marched and conquered the 78th regiment, and J. R. McNary was one of its heroes, until the master at the close of the grandest and holiest war ever waged on the face of he earth. I also learn with great satisfaction that Capt. McNary has made an enviable record as assistant county attorney and that being the case he should receive the support and VOLUME VIII. GRANT COMMENDS IRELAND! The Noted African Methodist Bishop Praises the Great Catholic Leader for His Manliness. In Archbishop John Ireland's speech of February 22, Kansas City, M., to an audience of ten thousand, among other things he said: The Negro we have and must keep. Let it never be forgotten that the Negro did not come hither of his own second. On our own forefathers constrained him to emigrate from his Africa in hunts to be their servant, their slave. Let it not be forgotten that the long servitude to which they had subjected him prevented him from growing in civilization, and turned rather at reducing him to the low stages of animal life than uphifting him to the higher regions of spiritual thought and activity. Whatever difficulties there are in the Negro problem, we must say in all humility that they are of our own making. This is sufficient reason why we should bring to the solution of the problem good will and patience. The progress made by the Negro since their emancipation forty years ago is the happiest of omens and indicates that years will prove them to be fully worthy of our confidence and esteem. Let us be just to the Negro, according to him willingly the rights which the law guarantees to him, opening to him the avenues of industry and thrift, affording him all due facilities of education and self-uphifting; let the Negro, on his part, make allowance for the conditions of the present, unavoidable legacies of the past, and trust in the future, men white so upbuilding himself in self-control, in culture of mind and heart, in social independence that his fellow citizens must hold him in custody—and the problem will have lost the opportunities now seemingly in the way of a final solution. Human society, under every form of government, is entering on a period of intense unrest in its search for solutions to those economic problems which are called forth by the spread of education and the material and industrial progress of modern times. The liberty of discussion which our institutions allow, and the fact that the populations of the world are parts of our own, warn us that the agitation of these problems will be especially acute in these United States." --- HISTOR GRAND'S CENTER TO THE HISTOR AND HIS REPAY Most Rev. Jno. Ireland, D. D. Archbishop St. Paul, Minn. My Devil Son: -It was my pleasure to listen to that magnificent address delivered by you at Convention Hall, February 22nd, Kansas City, Mo and I cannot refrain from expressing to you my gratitude for the same. It seemed to me that the address covered every phase of American life, truly patriotic, apt for justice, honesty, civic righteousness and the liberty to which all people under the Amorene flag are entitle! When such men as Rev. Thomas Dixon, Gov. Vardman of Mississippi, Gov. Davis of Arkansas, and Senator Tillman of South Carolina, are taking numerous efforts to convince the world of the unworthiness of the Negro and his manlity to accept and appreciate a higher civilization, your plea to an audience of ten thousand for justice and fair treatment to him, came to my car TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 9, 1906. THE PASSING OF A PIONEER KANSAN! Capt. Matthews, Noted Mason, Soldier and Benefactor of His Race is no More ---Helped Missouri Slaves and Controlled the Underground Railroad. We are indeed sorry to hear of the death of Capt. W. D. Matthews, one of the pioneers of Kansas. Too much honor cannot be paid him by both the white and colored people of this state. He has done much for the upbuilding of Kansas and her citizens. He fought for the preservation of the union and was engaged in many conflicts with the Missouri ruthens to keep them out of Kansas. He was the first and only commissioned colored officers in the civil war. A monument should be erected to his memory and the colored people of his state should take a decided stand and see that this honored is conferred. The Prairie Rite will lead off with a handsome donation. The captain was one of the York Rite Masons and was one of the first Negro Masons in this country. It was through his labors that the colored Masons have gotten their standing in the West, and although there were two divisions, yet Captain Matthews was recognized as the father of the colored Masons in this country. Captain Matthews ranked with such people as Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglas, Abraham Lincoln and others of that class. Long may the memory of Capt. Matthews live in the hearts of the American people and especially the colored people of Kansas and the West. We shall, at some later date, give as near a complete history of him as can be secured, with anecdotes, which will make it interesting for those who did not know him. Captain William D. Matthews, abolitionist, Kansas Negro pioneer, soldier and national head of York Rite Masons, died yesterday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock at his home, 209 Shawnee St., after a lingering illness with la gripe and complications due to his advanced years. He was 80 years of age. The sufferer was conscious until the last. Surrounded by the close friends who had nursed him through the weeks of his fatal sickness, he went quietly to sleep with the final words, "I am dying it peace with mankind. I have no enmity to any and am reconciled." Captain Matthews had been waiting for death for weeks. Already a fortnight ago, when his old first seemed imminent, he told those about him that he knew his days were numbered and that he was ready to die. Twice he rulled and there was hope of his recovery, but yesterday he suffered the final relapse and life was despaired of early in the day. About him at the time of his death were Rev. A. B. Allen, deputy national grand master of the Missouri whose home is in Atlanta, Ga., Miss. Minor of Kansas City, an old friend, and many other local colored people who had known the sufferer in his early life. Rev. Allen was at the bedside of Captain Matthews once before when death seemed about to envelop him. It was in Columbus, O., about five years ago. At the time Captain Matthews was thought dead, but he revived while his deputy and others stood about his bed confident that time had pumpen its woof. THE LATE MATTHEWS. Captain Matthews had been ill at his home on east Shawnee street for just four weeks. When he was taken down he was preparing to deputy for Memphis, Tenn., to open a grand lodge session of the colored Masons. He would have left Leavenworth the following day, but in the night he was suddenly attacked by the fatal gripe and from that time on he never left his bed. His eighty years burdening a constitution which had never been quite strong, made the battle against death despairing from the outset. Week after week he received nursing and medical attention in a vain effort to restore him to health sufficient at least to permit him to wind up his business affairs, but he never left his bed after the first attack for longer than a few minutes at a time. Nearly a week ago the aged colored man suffered a sinking spell and at the time his life was given up for lost. Under the influence of opiates the painful period finally passed off and he seemed to rally for a short time, but beginning this week his strength left him rapidly and death was at no time unexpected. During his illness Captain Matthews was called upon by many colored men of prominence, but it is a strange fact that most of them were from out of town. Captain Matthews' Leavenworth sympathizers were mostly white men. It may be another of those strange monolies, "A prophet without honor in his own country." In earlier times Captain Matthews was the recognized leader of colored men in Leavenworth and in Kansas. He has done more for his race than any other Negro ever a resident of the state, but he was a conservative and the colored men of Leavenworth today have outgrown him and his ways. THE CHAMPION OF A RACE. Captain Matthews was Leavenworth's and perhaps Kansas pioneer colored man, coming to this city in 1854 from Washington, D. C., where he was born in bondage eighty years ago last October. Captain Matthews spent his eighty years on earth in the interest and for the betterment of his people. Captain Matthews came to Leavenworth poor and obscene. He started a little restaurant and eating house where many of Leavenworth's prominent old time abolitionists made their headquarters in times of strengency and danger. Soon the little restaurant came to be the head station of the underground railway system and Captain Matthews was the "general passenger trainee manager. Many of the most prominent men in Leavenworth were "stockholders" in the road It was the time of rapine, murder and terrorism, but the pioneer colored man was constantly at work without fear and never without real and energy. Hundreds of Negroes owed their freedom to his system by which they were brought across the river from Missouri, held in Leavenworth and sent out to states of safety even across the Canadian border by Captain Matthews and his innovation. 'Touching incidents in Captain Matthews' death vigil were the frequent visits of old colored men and women whom he had taken from bondage before and during the civil war and sent on their way of freedom. Mrs. Alpha V. Minor of Kansas City, who nursed the aged colored man through a great part of his fatal illness, was the daughter of a colored woman freed by Capt. Matthews. The aged woman, the mother of Mrs. Minor, also visited the captain in his final hours. There were others who had tasted his kindness and who turned to him instinctively in his last hours of trial. After the close of the civil war Captain Matthews took a leading part in the organization of the Masonic lodges in his race. For fifteen years he has been M. W. N. grand master of all York Rite Masons, colored, in the United States of North America and provinces. A large part of the venerable colored man's time was spent in making trips over the country attending the sessions of his Masonic lodges. A great deal of his time was spent in the South where his order was the strongest. He was preparing for a long trip in the South when his final illness overtook him. His Masome work was another long and consistent effort for the "splifting of his race." Of what immense benefit wholesome organization will finally prove to the colored man remains still to be seen. Early in the civil war Captain Matthews was commissioned to the command of a battery of volunteer artillery, which he commanded in actual service with distinction. Previous to this he was an officer of a colored infantry regiment. The captain was mustered out with his battery at the end of the war and returned to Leavenworth immediately. Many of the veterans of the civil war knew the aged colored man intimately and many were his officers at the time of his last sickness. Previous to his death by several weeks, and again Thursday, Captain Matthews expressed his desire to be buried in the cemetery at the Soldiers' home and his wish will be conformed to. Leavenworth Daily Times, Saturday, March 4, 190. REAL PROBLEM OF THE SOUTH! A Southern woman, Mrs. Martha N Glelow, has entered a protest against the further donation of Northern money for the education of the Southern Negro, until something really radical has been done for the redemption of the "poor white trash" of the South. Her point seems to be well taken. The slaveholding class "before the war" was to blame for the ignorance of the blacks. The slave owners didn't want their property to become educated because they would learn that they had been sold, and were entitled to own themselves. Education was a deadly tool to slavery. But no such inhibition existed against the clay eating snuff dipping, turpentine roasting whites of the cotton states. Class distinctions would not have kept them out of such wretched public schools as the South supplied. Their white faces would have given them admission. As this Greensbrough, Ala, woman truly says: "They never heard nor hearkened to the call of the school house bell." Therein is the explanation. The Negro, on the contrary, awaits the welcome sound. It Mrs. Glelow be correct in her figures, the percentage of illiteracy among the whites exceeds that among the Negroes born since the war. We agree with the woman, the conditions appalling. By all means, let us have a reformatory for the clay-eaters of North Carolina and the "Crackers" of Georgia.—Julius Chambers in Brooklyn Eagle. NUMBER 10 NOMIN'ATE H. J. ALLEN! The Common People Can't Afford to Support Scott— His Paper an Enemy to the Negro. The Hon. H. J. Allen of Ottawa, who is now waging a campaign for congressman from the 2nd district, is one of the most progressive and energetic young republicans in all Kansas. He has been endorsed by all the leading republicans of that district, who are assisting him in his campaign. A primary election has been called for March 24th to settle this contest, and when the polls will have been closed and the results announced, there is no doubt that Mr. Allen will be the nominee of his party to represent them at the capitol at Washington. Mr. Allen has earned the position sought and it is, therefore, justly due him. He is a young man who stands for right justice and fair play for all mankind. We believe that Mr. Allen's opponent, Mr. Chas. Scott, has served the state sufficiently long to retire willingly at the end of this term. While Mr. Scott has represented the state several years in Congress, he has never been the man to make and hold friends. There seems to be something clannish about him that makes the people keep aloof from him. And he has not been a meteor by any means in Congress, so there is no light we can throw on the people that will reflect upon any good results that have been by him achieved in Congress. So far as the colored voters are concerned in the 2nd district, they are in duty bound to ignore Mr. Scott at the coming primary. For years they have walked up to the polls and voted for Hon. Charles Scott for congressman and also for state senator, and for years he has drawn his salary, with several extra salaries attached, but we have as yet to bear of a single colored man being appointed to a position through his efforts. We have appealed to him several times to support the Crumppicker bill or some measure looking toward the reduction of southern representation in Congress from those states where the outrageous plans of disfranchisement have been adopted. Mr. Scott's reply was that he doubted the wisdom of such a measure and that he did not believe he could consistently support such a bill. If he cannot afford to support republican measures which will give to colored republicans in the South some consolation, though they are disfranchised, to know that those who placed these restrictions upon them must also suffer, then we should vote for some one who can afford to do this. Hon. Henry J. Allen is pledged to support any measure looking to reduction in representation in Congress from those states of the South where Negroes are disfranchised, where a congressman represents only 2000 votes in a district, while a congressman from Kansas represents 42000. Mr. Allen knows this is radically wrong and that there is too much difference in the two and believes that something must be done to equalize the situation. Mr. Scott has not been fan to the colored people in his own town at all times, especially in reference to giving them fan treatment in the columns of his newspaper, the Folk Register, one of the leading papers in southern Kansas, which has on several occasions tried to motivate race not by charging upon the colored people crimes never committed. One instance of this was along in [Continued on page four] LIBERTY, MO. The Busy Bee club, of the A. M. E. church, met with Mrs. Lucy Hunter, Friday afternoon. The members are piecing quilts.

Wells, the president of the Wells Real Estate and Brokerage Company of Hot Springs is a native of Mississippi, having been born at Holly Springs immediately after the war. His schooling was received from the public schools of that place at the age of thirteen he moved with his parents to Memphis who shortly thereafter succumbed to that dreaded disease yellow fever. With five children to care for the responsibility rested wholly upon the shoulder of himself and sister, THE NEW YORK TIMES Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett. After securing a position on the public schools of Memphis, Miss Wells bought interest in the Force-Spreach thereby making a position for Alfred as circulating agent in which position for two years he worked with success. From that time on until '98, Mr. Wells was identified in grocery and hotel business throughout Missouri and Arkansas although at some places he met with success and some places, reverses until in '98 when he came to Hot Springs without a dollar. Mr. Wells having a few years later married a Miss Winterley, was now a man of a family and was forced to accept hotel work but was relieved two years later when he was tendered a position as collector for S. M. Jaffrey's Dry Goods House. His strict attention to business in this capacity attracted the attention of the management of the Hot Springs Real Estate and Merchantile Company and they were not long in securing his service as secretary. On year only was necessary for Mr. Welte to get his bearings in the real estate business and in March he opened the A J Wells and Company Real Estate and Brokerage at 501 Pleasant street. In this short length of time Mr. Wells has accumulated considerable property some of which is at the best in Hot Springs. He handle over one hundred rentals and the loan business is daily on the increase. Mr. Wells is also the General Superintendent of the Great Southern Home Industrial Association, one of the strongest insurance societies in south, and recently commissioned as notary public a prominent member of the Baptist church and identified with every fraternal organization of note in the Springs. His prosperity is now in evidence and his ultimate success is equally as well assured. HON. J. T. F. WARREN. Below we reproduce the likeness of J. F. T.

When he was quite young he was forced into the shoe string business and served as a boot black for years. He later worked as a waiter in the principal hotels of the city and later accepted a position as bath attendant at the park. Hotel and bath house, at which place he is now superintendent of its bath department, through these positions together with good business sense and native ability, Mr. Warren was enabled in 1933 to open the first undertaking establishment operated and controlled by Negroes in the city of Hot Springs and today he is serving the citizens with but little opposition. Mr. Warren's parlors are located at 416 Malvern Ave. and from the stand point of beauty is without equal in the city.

Henry J. Allen for Con- gress at the coming primaries which will be held March 24. Mr. Allents a man of bigh honor and integrity, and can be ap- proached by the humblest citizen while Mr Septt, his opponent is of ‘sith sock"? order and no common min—-especially a Ne- gro, need net try to get near him = The attitude of his paper, The Toli Register, towards colored people is such that it proves hin to be a dangerous enemy of the race and 1s unt to Tepresent this great state in the halls of Congress. The lola Register has contained more mzan, dirty flings at the Negro tace than any pa per in the state, and even went so far as to urge the white people to drive the colored people out of the town because a white man was laying drunk in some disreputable resort and could not be located by his friends. The Negroes of the Second district cwe it to the race and the state to turn Scott down, and now that they have an opportunity, they should take advantage of it. The Ne- gsoes of the Second district hold the deciding vote, and on March 24th should place themselves on record against Scoit's lily white idea. Nominate Henry Allen, a man who will serve white, black, rich and poor alike. Etsewiit k) in this paper wili be found the constitution and by-laws of the Suntiower State| Agriculturists, which ts in the interest of the colored fartners| and truch growers of Kansas, We hope every farmer, whether he grows an acre or 1,v00 acres | of produce, raises cuttle, hogs, chickens, of anything that is] marketable, will take an interest | in this organization and write!

As} jong as a large majonty of our young men louf the streets and |, squander their scant carnings|| loolishly, they will be held in ontempt by the progressive white and colored people. Let]! he young Negro feel that he is)! just as important in the com-|: nunity in which he lnves as any |) white man, and the only way 0 feel that important is to own roperty, Carty on business, he}! 1 mechanic or till the soil, Tsun 1s not much stirsing|| mong the crowd that is trying a gihittc tcc. eco fg that he will be cunfirmed as there are no grounds to prevent it. The Bee is at the seat of war, and any information given out by that journal is correct. | Witen it comes to reproducing an article without giving credit to the paper from which it was taken, The Okiahoma Safeguard beats them all, Last week they reprinted an article, ‘Turner and the Flag’ from Tas Paine DEALER and never hinted as to what paper it was from.

Robbing Yourself That is just what you are doing when you fail to get regular and sufficient sleep. Your body requires this unconscious period for repair work; without it your nerve energy becomes exhausted, and you are tired, worn-out, nervous, excitable; have headache, neuralgia, indigestion, poor appetite, or other ailments caused by a lack of nerve force. Make it your business to sleep. If you are restless, take Dr. Miles' Nervine it soothes and strengthens the nerves, and brings sweet, refreshing, life-giving sleep, and gives the organs power to work naturally. Try it to-day. "I had a severe spell of fever, which left me in a very weak condition and very nervous. I had severe spells of headache and neuralgia, and could sleep but very little. Every effort that was made to recover my strength was of no avail until I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. After I commenced to take the Nervine my sleep was profound and restful, and the pain was only good, as well as the insurgency that afflicted the certain extent and I grew gradually better." MILK E.

Mexican Pete Everett, the pug, is on the war path, and says that he wants a bout with McCormick for $200 a side. Pete has shown up well with all the top notchers, and would no doubt do business with the Texan. His poor showing with Jack Johnson about two months ago was doubtless due to lack of proper feed.

It is a good move, and the boys should be encouraged. Rising Sun Fire Insurance Co. OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY. OFFICE: 18 West Okmulgee Avenue Muskogee, Indian Territory.

R. H. WATERFORD, President. H. N. JOHNSON, Secretary. J. E. JOHNSON, Gen. Mer. I understand J. M. Brown is making public some statements concerning his candidacy for clerk of Shawnee County and Capt. McNary's connection therewith. I was a candidate for said office against J. M. Brown, and each of us went into the convention with our delegation that stood about equal in numbers. I be lieve I could have secured the nomination over Brown, had I stayed in the race, but Harry Safford and Charley Curtis urged me to withdraw for the good of the Republican party and I did so. Capt. McNary did not haul me into the country, did not assist me by word, act or deed in the county, was not on my delegation, was not present at the convention that nominated Brown, and could have had nothing to do with the result or deliberation, one way or the other. J. D. PARRISON NOTICE. To the colored people of Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other southern states. We are in receipt of a communication from Mr. W. G. Byrd, 675 Hood St., Portland, Ore., who says that excellent opportunities are now offered for progressive colored men and women who wish to improve their opportunities. There is great demand for them, as the white people of that section of the country are getting tired of Japs and Chinamen; they do not want anything but progressive and industrious colored men and women. No loafers or those who idle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very strict against that class and are rigidly enforced. I strikes us very forcibly that the colored people of these states who wish to better their condition should go to a state like Oregon, where the laws are more equally interpreted. The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and seidom, if ever, do the people judge by the color when it comes to business. Take advantage of this opportunity and scatter over the great West. PUBLICATION NOTICE. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas.

The third and last term of the scholastic year is rapidly approaching and we wish to emphasize the fact that the present month is an excellent time for teachers and others who may desire to attend the Summer school, or otherwise, but who find the seven weeks' course of the summer entirely too short a time to do the amount of work they have in mind. Several teachers with short terms have already availed themselves of this opportunity and are working away on the required number of points for graduation. The new system of grading by points rather than by classes, here introduced by President Allen, a system already adopted by leading schools throughout the country, in proving entirely satisfactory in this institution, and is especially valuable, perhaps, to the students who, for whatever reason, find it impossible to remain in school for the year. For information relative to the Summer School, address President B. F. Allen, Lincoln Institute. ARKANSAS CITY, KAN The A. M. E. church work in this city is moving along pleasantly.

GEORGE E. STOKER, Attorney for Plaintiffs. Attest: A. J. McCABE. Judge Court of Topeka. First published March 9, '06.

A fine program was rendered and Miss Katie Guy completely took the house by storm. Her sweet voice, as clear as a bell, her remarkable control, the high pitch to which she can ascend and hold, and the difficult selections which she can execute with no much ease and precision, stamp her as a coming prima donna of the West.
