The crime committed by Russell and his wife does not injure the standing of the good, respectable white people of the community, nor does itinjure the good respectable colored people, and we will be glad when the time comes that white peo- ple will have sense enough not to credit crimes committed by the lower class of colored people to the reapectable class who are progress. ing and doing what they cau to make the world better. We are trying to educate the minds of the progressive white people to the fact that when crimes are com- mitted thatthe criminal alone be held responsible for the act and not the public. Taxasare paid to em- pley officers, build jails and peni- tentiaries and other inatitutions for the Incarceration of the criminal element, and when the officera are fax in their duties there is a remedy whereby they may be dismissed and others who willdo their duty can be sworn into take the places of the cowords, The Associated Press and the white dailies do more to foster race prejudice andcreate trouble for the colored people, than all the crimes committed by black people, The white pulpit ia too cowardly to tell the truth and chastise their congre gatioua for the wrongs they are doing our race, The crime committed by Russel and wife are the most heinous in the annals of the history of Topeka. II the sensible Negroes woull also call ahbaltonthe white people in refers ence tocharging the entire race for crimes committer! by low members of the race, by having them under. atand that a good respectable person atande juat as well in their commun: ity after a crime has been committed by some worthless Negro as hefore it was committed Our brothersin white should be fair and obey the golden rule by doing unto us as they wish us to do unto them, In speaking of the affair, here is all the Topsha State Journal had to aay: A heinous and revolting story of assault, that surpasses almost anj- thing on the Topeka crime calendar, came to light tuday, Henry Russell and his wife, Mar- suerite Russell, are charged with maltreating 9 year old Florence Al- Can Cath seecd wtesatae ae tana Lucas, Russell has been employed by the Bell Telephone company, the Coe Feed store, and the Topeka Trane'er company recently, The two were placed in separate cells in the jail. Mrs. Russell awore like a trooper, according to the ofti- cera, when placed in confinement, At two o'clock County Attorney Oss Hungate and Sheriff Lucas “sweated” her for an heur, and she finally confessed the whole story, just as told by the little girl. “We have nothing further to give out about it,” said Mr. Hungate, “save that she admitted everything, right up to the handle.” A confession will be also be sought from Russell, One day, a little over a month ago, Mr. Allen heard that a man and wifenamed Russell, at 317 West Locust street, wished to have a little girl in thelr family for company and to help about the work. She would also be permitted to go to school, Mr, Allen is not in the best financial circumstances, though not poverty atrichen, by any means, He thought that it would be a good opportunity for his 9-year-old daughter, Florence. The story of the crime was told by the little victim today. She was seated in the presence of her father and mother, When she had recited the terrible story her father rose to hia feet, and with glaring ey es almost cried: "Ifthe law does not punish him and his wife to the limit, I'l Kill them myself, Dl killthem both and ’lttake the consequences, The etake would’nt be half bad enough for either.” Mrs. Alien swore out the complaint at the county attorney’s office charg ing both Mr, and Mrs. Russell, joiut- ly with assault, Ruesell seemed to get wind ot something, and Sheriff Lucas was kept busy all morning before he finally nabbed him.—Jour- nal, May sth, Passing of Negro Servants. It is indeed sad to see so miny of our colored girls out of employment and waudering around from place place, Many of them are toc proud to work for their own people and many of them are too lazy to work forthe white people. Of course there are some honorable exceptions. ‘ The colored scrvante should remember that they can be ladies and gentlemen in the kitchen and dining room as well as they can in the parlor, There aze lots of young men and women working out as servante and can command re- upect if they reapect themaelver.

Prejudiced Theatrical Manager Has a “Skele- ton in His Closet” and Must Settle the Question of “Good Morals.” | The people of Topeka are familiar with the fact that one Al Magan, manager of the Novlty Theatre between Eighth and Ninth on Kansas Ave,, is xo prejudiced and contemptible that he has not pew enough and fy not gentlemin enough to treat colored patrons who wish to visit his play howe, with common decency. There ix no doubt tit the clase of white people who object to clean, decent, respectable colored people enjoying privileges at public places come from the low clement of whites who ‘eannot hope to rank with the higher Claes of their owniace, and the only attention they hope to attract for themselves ie by doing something that they think will make the Negro look sinall.

A MESSAGE OP JOY AND HOPE! Bishop Abram Grant Spoke Words of Wisdom to the People of Topeka— Doing a Great Work, A large congregation wae present, at St. John's A.M, E. church Inst Sunday morning and evening to hear} one of the greatest bishops, of the, A.M.E, connection. who fs doing! more to build up the race spiritually, intellectually and financially, id any other man we know of, Bishop | Abram Grant, who has charge of the Vifth Episcopal Diocese of the A.| M. E. church, made a strong appeal to his congregaticn along the line of upbuilding epiritually, socially, in- tellectually and financially, He cited many passages of scrip: ture which supported bis argument, The Bishop never forgets to remind his hearers tobe honest, faithful, upright and just. He paid a glows ing tribute to Rev. J, E. Edwards, ths preaent pastor, and asked the congregation to give him their support in liquidating the mortage indebtedness on the church, which isexpected tobe paid June l. If the A.M. E, church had seven bishops who would do half as much tu build upthe race, the church, and the Chriatian religion, aa Bishe op Grant is doing, there would be much less just cause for complaint from anyone, The Bishop enjoys the distinction of being personally acquainted with the very best men of the nation, both white and colored, who respect his ability, honesty, integrity and faithfulness. Whilein the city he wag the guest of Prof, Ridley, at 618 Western avenue, Bishop Grant visited St, Mark’s A.M, E, church in the afternoon where Rev. Woods is erecting a new building. He spoke highly ot Rev, Woods and commended him for the good work is doing. The Y.M, C. A. enjoyed a splendid address from the Bishop Sunday afternoon in which he gave the young men much wholesome advice, | which if acted upon, will make them noble leaders of their race and credits to the country in which they reside, ‘The people of Topeka are always glad to see and hear Bishop Grant,. and he will always receive a hearty’ welcome when he comes To sce him and know himis to love him, as there is nothing but kindness radiating his whole being.

OOOO 60660604 O000O460000000 Broke His Mother's Heart! | Supt, E. E, Marshallof the Hutch. inson reformatory, passing through Topeka this week, hadthe misfortune to have Smoke Williams, a notorious white character of Topeka, whom he was taking back to the reformatory for breaking parole, to escape from him at the Santa Fe Depot, while he was securing tickets. Williams was captured the next day while trying to have a farmer boy file the hand- cuffs from his wrists, His mother sobbed as though her heart would break when he was taken from the jail. It waa a pitiful sight, and this alone should be sufficient: to soften this young man’s heart and cause him to tum to the path of ‘righteousness. Had he obeyed the rules of the reformatory, and worked conatantly and honestly to support his mother, he would have been free today, But Williams, hke most young men who go from bad to worse, ‘seemed not to consider the warnings ot his parents or any one elae. This time, we hope it will be an object fesson to him and if he will keep in mind the picture of his widowed mother and how she sobbed, with an almost broken heart, it ia posaible Fe may yet come forth and make's men of himeelf. Superintendent Marshall was very kind and painstaking with Withams, and hated to return him tothe school, but the law must be upheld, and L€ Williams or any other prisoner oa parole violates the same, he must be held responsible Young men now in the reformatory should take heed and timely warning to the fate of Williars.

FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1906. THERE'S MONEY IN POULTRY' We are glad to note the fact that colored women are being aroused to a sense of duty by engaging in poultry raising. We have contended all along that these are the things the Negro most consumes and the ones he he least attempts to produce; poultry, hogs, sweet potatoes, cabbage and several other things that grow readily, without much expense and not very hard labor, but continuous work and watching. There are thousands of dollars to be made in poultry raising and if more of our people would adapt themselves to this, the more wealthy and independent they would become in this nation. There are several colored people this year putting in incubators and hatching chickens by the hundreds. This can be done in the suburbs of the city where a person has from three to half a dozen lots, where they can sow a little rye and other green stuff for the chickens to subsist upon. We had the pleasure of visiting the home of Mrs. G. W. Crockett at 1136 Madison street on the North side, who has a beautiful home of four lots and a nice five room cottage which she and her husband have earned by hard labor. Mrs. Crockett was employed several years at the National hotel as pastry cook and she decided a short while ago to begin business for herself by raising poultry. She put chased two incubators and has hatched off several hundred chickens which are doing fine. After she has got her hatcheries in good working order, she can earn from forty to fifty dollars per month, raising chickins. This is certainly a great industry and Mrs. Crockett is to be commended upon her push, progress, and ability to do business for herself. As this lady is doing, thousands of other colored people can do and make money. There are too many of the race depending upon some white man to tell them what to do, thereby showing their incompetency and inability to earn a livelihood even after having the way pointed out. We are proud to note the fact that Mrs. Grundy Thompson on Grand Ave, Lowman Hill, is also making great headway in the chicken business, having purchased an incubator and already hatched off several hundred. She is very enthusiastic and thinks before a year has rolled round she will have a few hundred dollars to her credit in the bank or in a five acre tract of land to go into the business more extensively. There should be a waking up among the people of our race along these lines for industrialism is the thing that is going to make us rich. This way of begging the white man for a job and accepting any kind of pay is all foolishness and people who have to accept small pay for their services should save their money and place themselves in a position where they will not have to be under obligations nor slaves to people who do not consider their time valuable nor their families worthy of better support. Get into chicken, hog and farming business, my colored friend. Do this and you will soon come to the front and be able to have your wives and children riding behind good horses in good buggies and carralges, like a large majority of the whites. This can only be done by good constant work, with honesty of purpose, of judgement and of thought. Let our women take the lead and probably our men will catch on and follow. EMPOREA. The Old Follows Annual sermon was delivered by Rev. W. S. Blake pastor of Second Baptist church. The turn out was good and the sermon made quite an impression. The first of a series of sacred concerts will be held at the C. M. E. church, Sunday, May 20. The program to be rendered promises to be very interesting.

The Pink T. social, given at the Groomer hall on last Friday night, for the benefit of the Second Baptist church, was quite a success. The W. H. & F. M. C. met at the home of Mrs. C. W. Hickerson on last Tuesday afternoon. An hour was spent in transacting business after which an excellent lunchcon was served. Will Washington and wife, of Chanute, spent last Sunday in the city, visiting their mother, Mrs. Newton.

The storage battery is the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and from this battery nerve force is sent out through the system of nerves. So keep the body healthy you must have plenty of nerve force; if you have not, the on ans work imperfectly, the circulation is sluggish, digestion bad, appetite poor, kidneys inactive, and aches, pains and misery are the penalty. You can keep the system strong with Dr. Miles' Nervine. It assists in generating nerve energy; it strengthens the nerves and makes the whole system strong and vigorous. 'I take pleasure in recommending Dr. Miles' Nervine to those suffering from nervous prostration, insomnia and melancholy. After several months suffering from above diseases I tried this medicine and found immediate relief. It soothes and strengthens the nerves, chases away the gloomy and depressing thoughts and gives the sufferer renewed strength hope. It is a superb nerve restorer.

"Uncle" Dive Chiles says that Oakland has a Sunday school of about thirty children, and that there are no teachers. Some of the ministers should see that the school is supplied with teachers from the city churches. "Sage" Northington closed with the Seller-Photo shows in this city last Wednesday.

Big Bob Watkins, the Denver pugilist, arrived last week, and went into training for a bout with Big Jim McCormick.

The cantata, "The Two Ways," will be presented to the public soon at the First African Baptist church. The music is quite pretty and lively and the cantata contains a good lesson for the young people. It is hoped that it will attract a large audience. The Phi Sigma girls have issued neat invitations announcing that they will close the social season at the Metropolitan hall on the evening of May 25th. The most elaborate preparations ever made for a party are under way, and it will no doubt be the most fashionable event in the history of the present social season. It will be an out pouring of the upper crust of Topeka, Lawrence, Atchison and the two Kansas Cities. Those who attend will say [when it is over] that they were glad to have been there. Mrs. Hattie Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis, departed this life Saturday at her home on Laurent street, she had been ill for a long time with cancer.

She, with her mother, sisters and brothers moved to Topeka in 1867. In 1870 she was married to Mr. Jefferson Davis. Eight children were born, two of whom, the oldest girl and the youngest boy, have since died. She embraced a hope in Christ, joined B street Baptist church and was baptized by Rev. P. W. Barker in 1866. She lived a consistent Christian until overtaken by sickness last November. During her illness she would often tell those around her that she was trusting in the Lord and was only waiting on Him.
