Innocent Negroes are Burned by a Springfield Mob---As Usual, Officers Failed to Protect Them. Meet These Lawless Cusses With the Torch and Winchester, and Defend Your Rights. The lynching and burning of three innocent Negroes of Springfield, Mo., last Saturday and Sunday nights is an everlasting shame and disgrace upon the good, reputable citizens of Springfield, both white and black, as well as upon the great commonwealth of Missouri and the nation. There seems to be a fixed idea in the minds of the lawless class of white people in this country to make sport and mock as well as fun and mirth for the American white people by burning and lynching Negroes at their pleasure. This has gotten to be as common in the United States as bull fights in Old Mexico. There should be a stop put to these outrages and infamous crimes. It seems that every time a Negro is charged with an offence, a howling mob of poor Negro-hating, debauched white men and hecklums assemble themselves together and defy all law and decency, and over ride public decenoy and proceed to take the accused from his prison cell to some public place and there hang, burn and make all sorts of sport for the amusement of an ignorant and bigoted public. A stop should be put to this and that at once. We have advised the Negroes to buy winchesters. This is the only salvation in this country for the protection of the blackman in those cities and towns where the officers of the law connive with the lawless element to hold public offices. Had this sheriff been a man of brain, courage and ability, he could have prevented this mob from taking his prisoners from the cell. From the looks of things, we think he rather aided and assisted the mob instead of trying to check them. He had ample and sufficient notice that the mob was gathering for the purpose of descending upon the jail to reap vengeance upon prisoners who were in his custody. This was one of the most cowardly acts on the part of the sheriff when he refused to let his deputies fire into the mob. Had a few volleys been fired at the rioters and about half a dozen killed, the mob would have been dispersed and before they could have rallied the sheriff could have telegraphed the Governor and had troops on the grounds. Six hours notice is sufficient to get troops one hundred miles away to a scene of trouble. This sheriff has disgraced his office and the good name of Springfield as well as that of Missouri and he ought to resign his office. He is an ingrate, a murderer, and an infamous cur. We hope Gov. Folk will ask that he be investigated and compelled to resign, and if possible, a charge of accessory to murder be placed against him When ever an officer is too big a coward to protect prisoners who are in his custody and who are locked up thus being rendered defenseless, and allows a lot of hoodlums to gather around and destroy public property as well as human life, he is not fit for such a position. The good people of Springfield should get together and denounce the sheriff in the very strongest terms. What is the use of having deputies and officers armed if they are too cowardly to defend what they are supposed to be protecting? The class of whites who participate in this mob are nothing but the scum of the earth. The poorest white people that ever lived are among them; this is the class of whites that always oppose progressive white men, who favor strikes, who wreck railroad trains, who waylay and rob honest hardworking people and who are eternally disafflicted with the internal workings of the government. They are never satisfied with good wages, but are continually howling for more than they actually earn. This is the class of people that the railroads, mines, and other business interests in the country have so much trouble with. This is the class of whites that the progressive business white men and the progressive Negroes have to fear. The upper class of whites do not care to come in contact with the class of whites, especially when they commit depredations and outrages upon colored people, for fear that vengeance may be reaped upon them; and the progressive Negroes are too cowardly to protect their rights by arming themselves and in case of emergency offering their services to the officers in charge for protection of life, liberty and property. We advise all the progressive Negroes to buy winchester and twenty round of cartridges and those who cannot get winchesters get old shot guns and load them up in slugs and when we have the least inkling of these mobs and outrages, notify the officials in charge immediately that you wish to be deputized to uphold the law, and if they do not accept your services, stand and be ready to shoot down the first leader or leaders of the mob, who take law into their own hands. You will be up held by all courts of the country in such matters. Let every Negro arm himself for the conflict which is sure to come between them and this lawless element of whites, who are not only defying the rights of Negroes but also of the better class of white men. They are now wrecking trains and causing large losses of life, also assassinating captians and doing every other outrageous thing to disgrace themselves and the United States of America. God created this earth and also man and beast, but the only mistake in the creation that we see is in the 'class of mean and contemptible whites who ought never to have been created. This earth belongs to all mankind and he who works honestly and zealously may own in fee simple all that he inherits or pays for. And the laws are so regulated that this personal property and the tax thereon is to pay officers to enact and enforce laws that will protect each individual in that he owns or controls. The Negro has as much right in this country as any other race and more than this lawless element of hoodlums who are allowed to burn the Negroes whenever they deem it necessary and convenient. The sooner the Negroes show this class of white people that they are also men and that they will defend their property and their families even to the extent of losing their lives. the sooner there will be an end to lynching and burning. All the Negro needs is more manhood, nerve and encouragement and those he must make for himself. The gnat, the ants, the serpent and every other living creature attempts to protect its own except the infernal cowardly Negro men, who are only subservient to the whims and wishes of these ignorant and vicious class of whites. We now admonish every Negro to buy winchesters. Talk it in your secret lodges, talk it by your firesides and talk it in your churches. Negroes, we warn you, buy winchesters, shotguns and every conceivable fire arm that will be of benefit to you in protecting yourself and your own. As long as you stand idle and wait for a mob to gather and lynch some innocent party charged with a crime he never committed, so long will it continue and finally become a custom, but as soon as a hundred or so leaders of mobs are fired into and killed, the sooner these outrages will stop. There is no doubt in our minds but that the white man who was driving this lady out was assaulted and held by some jealous crowd of white hoodlums who were jealous or envious of this young man and lady. The same incident happened in Kansas City, Mo. and it was afterwards prov that it was a white man who committed the offense. Web to patience with outragers, murder, railroad wreckers or simply that we do think there ours must be a strong chain of circumstances creatively witnessed to crimes before even an ever wrought element should attempt to avenge himself upon alleged perpetrators of these crimes. It makes no difference to us whether they are black or white, when they commit these heinous crimes they should be dealt with in some way, but it should be by law and the evidence should be conclusive and no innocent person sent to judgment without a fair and impartial trial before a jury of men who sit in judgment on matters of this kind without prejudice or malice. There are thousands of heinous crimes committed every month in America by white men, but we do not hear of any of them being lynched or burned. It is because the white friends and sympathizers of the white race would not stand for it. Negroes get your winchesters' Prepare yourselves for the conflict to come. NICK CHILPS How it Happened. Springfield, Mo., April 14.—A mob of 3,000 men tonight took two Negroes, Horace Dunean and Jim Copeland, from the county jail, hung them to the statue of the Goddess of Liberty in the public square and built a fire under them, and they are being roasted to death. The men were charged with resaulting Mabel Edwards, but it is said they were probably innocent. Mabel Edwards came here recently from Monett, Mo., and obtained employment as a domestic servant. Last night while Miss Edwards and a young man named Cooper were out riding in a buggy they were stopped by two Negroes, who beat Cooper into unconsciousness and dragged Miss Edwards into the woods by the roadside and assaulted her. Duncan and Copeland were arrested on suspicion, but there was no evidence against them. A mob of one thousand men gathered at the city jul it no clock to night and upon learning that the Negroes were not there, hastened NUMBER 16. Exceedingly Happy! EASTER SUNDAY IN TOPEKA! The Several Churches Hold Interesting and Appropriate Services. On last Easter Sunday all the churches in the city made special efforts and arrangements to commemorate the resurrection of the Navior by decorating and adorning their pulpits and pews with palms, ferns and flowers. Special effort was made on the part of the different churches to put their choristers in the best condition to render sacred music, which is always essential on such occasions. St. John A. M. E. church was well crowded Sunday morning with a well cultured congregation who listened to a good sermon which was elevating both morally and intellectually, delivered by the Rev. J. E. Edwards on the "Life and Resurrection of the Savior." St. John's choir covered themselves with glory last Sunday and rendered some very choice selections. The quartette from Western University Quindaro, Kansas, was the attraction of the morning. They undoubtedly startled the congregation upon the rendition of some of the finest and most select sacred music. The quartette is composed of Miss Katheryne Guy, soprano; Olva Elyson, alto; Mennor, Clyde Andrews, tenor; and Chas. Thurmon, baritone. These young people are from all parts of the United States—one from Florida, one from Missouri, one from Kansas and one from Colorado. Miss Guy took the house by storm when she sang "Jesus Lover of My Soul" as a solo, causing tears to fall from the eyes of many. It was solemn, beautiful and impressive, and the whole church joined in "Amen" at the conclusion of the solo. Her voice is sweet and as mellow as a nightingale's and she is worth $300 a week of anyone's money. We heard many who were present and who are good judges of singers say that they would prefer hearing her singing to Sara Bernhardt and other distinguished singers who draw from $2000 to $1000 a week. We hope that this young lady will not become connected with any cheap show or concert company, but demand somewhere near what her voice is worth. She should not be allowed to sing for less than $100 a week for anyone and this as a starter, and after this up to $200 and $300. The quartette rendered several beautiful selections among which were "Just As I Am," "Home Ties" and "Trust in the Lord." Others from Western University were Mrs. W. T. Vernon, the President's wife, Miss Birdie Groves, private see'y, Prof. R. G. Jackson, instructor in music who is one of the finest in the country, and who had the young people under his instruction. Quindaro to be congratulated upon securing the services of such a musician as Prof. Jackson. There is no school of music in the country that has a more proficient or accomplished teacher than him. Prof. Albert Ross, who is in charge of the commercial department and who travels to some extent in the interest of the school, advertising and making dates for the quartette, foot ball and base ball teams, was also present and made a short address to the congregation in the interest of Quindaro, setting forth its advantages. Messrs. Claude Miner and Guy Anderson, students of the University were also visitors in the CONINUED ON PAGE SIN. WVINITA. 1. T. .

The services at the Baptist and Methodist churches were something that surpassed any Easter day services in their history. At the Second Baptist church at the 11 o'clock service Rev. Ramey preached a powerful sermon. At three o'clock an Easterday program was rendered by the Sunday School which has never been surpassed; total Easterday collection was eight dollars. At the St. James A. M. K. church Rev. Gray delivered an excellent sermon, theme, "The Risen Christ." At three o'clock the juvenile classes rendered a program that did credit to themselves and honor to the church. But the climax was reached in the evening when the senior class, composed of young ladies and gentlemen, rendered their program that consisted of instrumental and vocal music, essays, orations and recitations. The Easter day collection was $13.05. The churches in Arkansas City are in good condition, having two of the best ministers that have ever occupied the pulpit. Just a word concerning the situation of our people in this vicinity. They own farming land to the extent of 1,542 acres within a radius of ten miles around the city.

Last Friday evening the university quartette accompanied Bishop Abram Graut to Fort Leavenworth where the party were royally banquetted as only Troop E, Ninth cavalry has the high record for doing. The bishop addressed the soldiers and their friends in the Fort Chapel and the quartette with the pipe organ, rendered several selections, which brought forth much praise and many congratulations from the colored boys in blue.

The students were at their best, and both at St. John A. M. E. church and at Lane chapel C. M. E. church in South Topeka, carried off the highest esteem and praises of the congregation.

Several others are making it a source of revenue in their respective communities, and Dr Allen hopes to make various important additions to this department with, the ensuing year, so encouraging have been the results already secured. The Junior class of '06, having completed trigonometry, is studying commercial law as an excellent preparation for political economy in the senior year and for practical work after graduation. Prin.

Will Montgomery, colorrd, was shot through the lung about 8:30 last night by Blanch Woodall, colored, and died at Keith & Rhode's hospital at 9 o'clock Monday morning. The Woodall girl is held at the county jail on a charge of murder. The shooting occurred on Quincy street in front of the Smith automobile office. Several men at Stone street & Hamilton's undertaking establishment, half a block away, heard the shooting and ran out on the ridewalk. They saw Montgomery running toward them, closely pursued by the girl who carried a revolver in her hands. Lee Thatcher, a white man, who was at the undertaking establishment, got out between the girl and her victim and said, "Stop." "I wont shoot you," replied the girl, "but I am going to finish him." Montgomery was hurried inside. All the spectators except Thatcher hastily sought shelter. Fred Stone-street, the undertaker, came out and talked to the girl. She was evidently crazy with anger but they gathered from her disjointed conversation that Montgomery had followed her after she had told him not to. No one attempted to stop her, as she still carried the revolver, and seemed in a mood to use it. She crossed the street and went down an alley. Officers who were notified at the police station took a long look for her and were on her trail when she came to the station and surrendered Sergeant Voiles, who had been tracing her, came in within two minutes. In her manenvers she had disposed of the revolver and although she told the officers where An Ultra-Spec Fair Grounds TWENTY-FIVE TON MILES AN HOUR. be raised.

She met her sister and other Negro women while she was at large, and it is suspected that she gave them the revolver. She was taken to the county jail, and County Attorney Hungate called up at a late hour to get out and hunt evidence in the case. He secured a dying statement from the Negro who was shot. He insisted that he had done nothing at all to incur the enmity of the girl From what the girls says, the officers have decided that the shooting was the result of jealousy. Blanch Woodall it the daughter of Lee Woodall, a decent, hardworking colored man who was formerly janitor of the court house. The girl has given trouble at frequent intervals. When about fifteen years of age she was arrested for disorderly conduct. Less than a year ago she was arrested for stabbing another Negro girl with a pocket knife. An autopsy was held over the body of Montgomery this morning, and an inquest will be held at Stone-street and Hamilton's undertaking establishment tomorrow.

FRIDAY, APRIL 20,1906. IT IS NOT NO. The progressive and law-abiding Negroes are no more responsible for the crimes and outrages committed by the worthless class of the race than the best element of the whites is responsible for the lawlessness of its criminal characters. A criminal —thief, murderer, traducer or what not—is a criminal, whether white or black. All good people should stand together for order and good government. We want that class of whites who are always admonishing the hard working, struggling Negroes to put a check upon the lawless element of the race, for the reason that such acts tend to the injury of the whole, to cease such silly jabberings, for they know full well that such is a lie out of whole cloth and is misleading. We would like for some one to show us where in crimes committed by worthless characters of our race hurt Booker T. Washington whose good standing no traducers can injure. With the judgment of such men as Andrew Carnegie on the side of right and justice, such silly claims as above mentioned are unworthy of consideration. Does the dastardly work of the many notorious bands of outlaws whose bloody deeds would fill page after page of the white man's history hurt that race to the extent that the said race claims such deaths would hurt the Negro? We don't think they will admit this. Then, what is not true of the white race is not true of the Negro. Does the white man really believe that crimes committed by worthless Negroes hurt such sensible men as Prof. Booker West T. Washington, Bishop Grant and Prof. Vernon any more than similar crimes by worthless whites would hurt President Roosevelt? All the progressive and law-abiding colored citizens are as immune from the ill effects of the lawless element of the race as the noble and upright of the white are free from the taint of the lawlessness of low white men. All claims to the contrary are mere bosh. All sounders look alike to us. —Nick Curtas. OSCEOLA, ARK. Easter was highly celebrated at all the churches. Programs were rendered day and evening. Mrs. M.

It is idea that make a nation, not the constables, and I call this an Anglo-Saxon nation because the dominating ideas, individualism, personal liberty, home rule and self-government, are Anglo-Saxon in their origin. One Anglo-Saxon is a majority everywhere. The Germans are of the same blood like all the rest of the Scandinavians, but the Latin races are in a state of senile decay. The Celts are a generous, impulsive stock, but they have always been the champions of lost causes. Historically they have failed, and they have no strength now except as they have become assimilated with the Anglo-Saxons whose ideas rule this country, and are lestined to rule the world. It makes no difference where a man was begotten or born, the instant he becomes an American citizen he is in Anglo-Saxon.

Editorial in the Journal was not intended as a defense of our law, but an explanation of it. When the question becomes a personal one we all feel the same way So fat as the wrongs of the Negro are concerned, "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow." There are eight million blacks, you say. That is five million more than the number of the American Colonists who conquered their liberties from Great Britain. There is only one way for the Negro to get his rights in this country and that is to fight for them. This monkey chatter about educating and Christianizing the black man fatigues me. State after state deprives him of civil and political rights almost, without a protest, and after thirty years his condition is actually worse than it was when in slavery. The Bible and the hymn book are well enough but what the African tree needs is another Toussaint L'Overture with the blood stained banner John J. Ingalls to Capt. P. H. Coney. Points Out to the Negro His Duty "Who Would Be Free Themselves Must Strike the Blow." Here are eight millions since known by Signatures five millions more than the Reunion of the American Colonies and Conquered them arrived from the West Britain . There is only one way for the Negro Trigger to think in this Country and thus to forge for them . This monkey Chatter won't educating and Christian lying the black man techniques the States after state elephants him of course and notwithstanding rights almost nothank in protest and after thirty years two conditions in actually interruption it and action in violation.

We desire to call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Nelson's Manufacturing Co. This is one of our old friends. You will notice that they have changed the name of their preparation to Nelson's Hair Dressing. We have always found this firm thoroughly reliable, and would suggest that if you are interested in the improvement of your hair, you write to them. A fine mansion is to be erected on Governor's square on Bachanan street between Ninth and Tenth by Mr. H. H. Berry. It will cost something between $2,000 and $3,000. There will be one of the finest mansions west of St. Louis. Mr. Berry is connected with the Moeser Cold Storage and Ice Manufacturing Co., one of the strongest firms in the West. The people of Topeka are bound to feel indebted to him for this beautiful addition to their already noted city. There is nothing in the square that will even come near comparing with this magnificent structure. The drawings are not yet out of the hands of the architect, but are expected to be soon. The stables and out-buildings will cost as much as some of the entire fine residences in the square. There will be room for several fine horses, automobiles, such as go to make comfortable a good successful business man like Mr. Berry, and his family. Mr. and Mrs. James Bertha, who have two sons and a daughter in Frisco, have not heard from them. No mention has been made in the press dispatches of the destruction of the places where the boys were employed, and it is safe to believe that they are safe. Let us hope for the best. NOTICE.

One of the greatest institutions, and among the oldest and most reliable, is the Kansas Packing House Market, owned and controlled by Schmalt Bros. It was established at its present location, 306 E. Second street, in 1837 by the present firm, in company with their father. They do more business than any two meat markets, or probably three, in the city, and their market is one of the largest of its kind in the West. They employ regularly from ten to fifteen men and supply all the leading hotels in the city, also the dining cars of the Rock Island Railroad Co. The Schmidt brothers are gentlemen who are courteous and kind, and purely and strictly, business men. They handle first class meats and everything in the market from a crawdad to a corn-fed steer. They also carry a nice line of groceries. The have employed with them the famous "Hiki" Brown, the wild man, who travelled with circuses and other street fairs, devouring raw meat for the amusement of the people. He is now surrounded with plenty of meat, and has since that time become much tamer and easier to handle. He is great service to Schmidt Bros. Packing House, and knows how to handle meat. "Hiki" is now a fixture with the Packing House market, and its customers are not contented until they have inquired "How is Hiki?" Schmidt Bros are the best meat catters to be found anywhere in the West. They have made a splendid success of the business Giants Made Good! The Topeka Grants, John Johnton's all star team, made their initial appearance Wednesday and made a good start by defeating Iola's State League team. It was a well played game from start to finish, and the Giants clearly showed that they knew the game, and the team that defeats them will have to play ball. The feature of the games was the work of Johnson at short, who played in errorless game. The Giants are ready to meet all comers and goers, and parties desiring games should alless Mr. Johnson or Green Watson, 112 East Seventh street. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas.

The "11" Street Baptist Church hold services with their pastor, the Rev. Geo. W. Harts, who has just returned from the South. He preached the morning and evening sermons, which were enjoyed by a large congregation. At the First African Baptist church Rev. T. J. Carr, the pastor delivered a very impressive sermon on "The Resurrection of the Saviour." The church was nicely decorated with beautiful flowers and the choir rendered several beautiful selections. The First African Baptist church is clad over their new pastor, who is doing much for the upbuilding of the church. Confirmation services were held at St. Simon's Episcopal church, Seventh and Western Avenue at 4:30, the Rev. Father Brown, rector. Bishop Millspaugh conducted the confirmation service, and six were added to the church. The members are proud of Father Brown the new rector. He is a highly educated and cultured young man and is doing much to build up this denomination in Topeka. His life is an open book, and if the examples set by him are lived up to by his parishioners and followers, they will never have a just cause to complain of the pathfinding which he leads them. The services at Shiloh were impressive and a large congregation were present, among whom were many visitors. Rev. Fishback just returned from an extended trip to New York, Boston, Washington and other Eastern cities in the interest of foreign missions. Last Saturday, just in time to conduct Easter services. The church was well decorated with palms and flowers, while the superb choir rendered very excellent music. Rev. Fishback preached two very in treating sermons upon the Life, Death and Restoration of the Saviour," which were so stirring and development. Lane Chapel C. M. E church held a big rally Easter afternoon when a magnificent congregation listened to a praised sermon from Rev. Wain or North Freckle. The Quarter University quartette and one very fine music here, but the services being rather long and the cramped restless, the notes was great that the attentive ones could hardly hear the mass.
