TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VIII. Wichita Whites and Blacks Will Continue to Dwell in Peace and Harmony. Attorney General Coleman has rendered an opinion holding that the board of education of Wichita cannot separate the races in the public schools there. Superintendent Taylor, of Sedgwick county, and President Hatfield of the Wichita board of education, have asked I. L. Dayhoff, superintendent of public instruction, if the races cannot be separated in their schools. In his opinion, Mr. Coleman says that the Wichita schools are maintained under a special act enacted by the legislature of 1889, and that section 1 of this law says that there shall be no discrimination between the races in the Wichita schools. He says that the supreme court has held that first class cities of the state, where the schools are operated under the general law may separate the races in the graded schools, but Wichita is an exception to this ruling as the schools there are under a special law. This interpretation of the law by the attorney general probably will lead to a tight in the next legislature over a special law for the separation of the races in the Wichita schools. The attempt of the school board to separate the races has stirred up much equity between the races in Sodgwick county and a legislative fight is expected to result. The following letter, from the Penth Cavalry, stationed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, to the editor of the Sioux City Journal, explains itself FORD ROBINSON, NEB, MAY 10 DEAR SIR:—As there was published in your paper of May 15th a onesided, untrue and even malicious account of a recent disturbance at Crawford, Nebraska, between citizens of that town and soldiers from this post, we the enlisted men of the Tentu Cavalry stationed at Fort Robinson, Nebr., in justice to ourselves, as well as to your subscribers, desire that you publish this letter, which gives, as near as has been ascertained, a true account of the affair On Sunday, May 13th, a number of soldiers from this post had been having a picnic on the fair grounds at Orswford and had been drinking beer they had with them. Toward evening they entered the town and became engaged in a quarrel among themselves. It does not appear that they had interfered with anyone, nor is there anything to show that there was more than one revolver in the whole crowd of soldiers, and it is quite likely that the whole affair would have been settled peacefully had not Arthur Moss, town marshal, new at the business, and a man who had openly boasted that he would teach the former marshal "how to handle niggers" (meaning soldiers of the Tenth Cavalry), appeared on the scene, accompanied by a "gang", among whom was his brother, for the purpose of making arrests. Without further ado it seems that he and his companions began using abusive language to the soldiers with threats of shooting, at which critical stage a struggle ensued, and shots were fired, during which Arthur Moss was killed and brother badly hurt for the time being by being struck on the arm. After this mix up the soldiers ran, being unsuiced, and one of them, Sergt. Reid, Troop B, 10th Cavalry, was captured and confined, and another, Private Taylor, was chared to the reservation fence, where he was shot and beat to death, not by Jim Moss as was reported, but by a cowardly mob. Sergt. Reid was held for murder and it was understood that he was to be taken to Chadron Monday night, the 14th instant; it also became known that between 138 and 150 ranchmen had come into town from the surrounding country for the purpose of lynching him when he was transferred from the jail to the cars, and it is said they were already secreted in the basement of the store of a well known merchant of Crawford. Fortunately Troop B was on the lookout for such a manoeuvre, and having appealed in vain to the Commanding Officer for protection for their comrade took matters into their own hands, broke open the arms-racks, armed themselves, and proceeded to march on the town three miles away. When this became known the Commanding Officer rushed troops to the town for the purpose of intercepting these soldiers, who learning of the approach of those authorized detachments "vanished." It was this action of Troop B which secured protection for Sergeant Reid, for the troops finding they could not discover the unruly members of B troop continued the march to Crawford and by their presence prevented the attempt at lynching, but not until William Murphy, a determined would be lyncher, had been killed. It is quite certain that had not Troop B taken matters in their own hands Sergeant Reid would have been lynched. Now, as to some of the false statements in the objectionable article referred to: 1. The soldiers had not planned to kill the marshal. If they had it is not likely that only one revolver would have been found among them. They have ample opportunity to kill anyone in Crawford whom they may want to kill, and need not start a fight among themselves to do it, as those who lead the mobs in Crawford May 13 may yet learn. 2. Private Taylor was not killed at the same place nor at the same time as Arthur Moss; but instead was chased between a half mile and a mile by a howling, cowardly mob, and shot in the back and beat to death while he lay on the ground, without even a pocket knife to defend himself. As Jim Moss had his arm hurt in the fight it was not thought that he ever had an opportunity to kill Taylor. However, as the members of the 10th Cavalry are not over nice as to who fires the fatal shot or strikes the fatal blow in a brutal, cowardly lynching mob, and as they have been quite anxious to find out to whom the citizens of Crawford gave the honor of murdering Taylor, we of the 10th Cavalry are satisfied to accept this verdict, as this killing of a defenseless man while pleading for his life will certainly not escape the attention of his comrades. The members of both these mobs shall have our attention. ENLISTED MEN OF THE TENTH CAVALRY. A Negro Inventor. Jim Washington, an old Negro who was born and raised on a plantation near Hallettaville, Mo., has invented and obtained a patent on an improved cotton baling press. It is claimed by those who have examined the invention that it will revolutionize the present method of handling cotton. Instead of having to treat cotton to the two processes of gunning and compressing, as now, the gunning and baling will be done at one time. Cotton men are much interested in the Invention. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 8 1906 THE KANSAS CITY IDEA OF JUSTICE Below we publish an article concerning Judge Wofford of the criminal court of Kansas City. From the language and gist of his conversation with the reporter, the judge seems to have been an ex-slave-holder and to have become a staunch Negro-hater since the war and emancipation of the slaves. The judge likes to appear in print as being fair and pretends to say that he believes that the Negro should have justice. If the judge would live up to what he says about justice being meted out to the Negroes, there would be several more Negroes in Kansas Mo. making honest livings for their families, instead of doing time in Jefferson City prison, the justice meted out by a prejudiced judge who thinks all Negroes are criminal and unfit for citizenship. We have heard of the judge for years, and have never heard of his saying or doing anything that would elevate the Negro. If he would devote a little time to his own race, trying to get them to lay down some of the infernal prejudice they have, and offer jobs to the young Negroes and pay them the same that they pay white men for the same work, there would be less cause for complaint by the Negroes of the judge. Tere are Negroes in Kansas City and other portions of the country who are just as particular about their associates and standing as Judge Wofford and his kind A Negro thief or ex convict has no more standing among the better class of colored people than Judge Wofford has with the better class of whites If he can show one instance where he has recommended a Negro for a good job, we would be willing to beg his pardon, but we have read of the judge showing great consideration to white criminals, while he has always made it a point to be very harsh with the Negroes who happen to appear before him. He says that the Negro problem is quite serious to deal with. We admit it is quite serious for the class of white men with which the judge is rated. If he will take note of the evidence in the case of Agnes Myers, recently sentenced to be hung for the murder of her husband in Kansas City, he will remember that she tried to lay the blame on Negroes. This is only one instance out of thousands that have happened in Kansas City where white people committed offences and Negroes were charged with them, and some are now doing time, having been sent up by this, same judge. The most vicious white criminals that live are in Kansas City, Mo, The Negro criminal element does not begin to think of committing the heinous offenses that are committed by whites. Everything possible and impossible in the annals of crime has been committed by white people in Kansas City, Mo., and yet the judge has not the time to speak of that, but is continually harping upon "the young criminal Negro." Why can he not take time and visit some of the leading colored churches, Y. M. C. A.'s, drug stores, restaurants, groceries, farms, real estate offices, undertaking establishments, law offices, doctors' offices, hospitals, and other business concerns operated by colored people and learn what the progressive young Negroes are doing? A bad Negro is no worse than a bad white man, and no better. All trash goes in a heap and the judge should see to it that he stays as far away as possible, for like things sometimes attract. A man who holds the exalted position of judge should be fair and impartial and not allow such trashy sentiments to emanate from his mind. Judge Wofford, get right with God and man. WOFFORD'S IDEA. In a recent conversation Judge J. W. Wofford of the criminal court fell to discussing the problem of the criminal Negro. "The world is all the time getting better," he said. "The criminal cases are greater in volume in my court than formerly, but that is because of the increase in population. The per cent of cases has not increased except among the Negroes. The colored people, unfortunately for themselves, and the public at large, furnish, I think, three fourths of the cases in my court. This is due largely to the fact that too many Negroes of the younger generation seem inclined not to work. They want to be lawyers, doctors and preachers. They want to get into the higher vocations. They avoid the ancient and honorable callings of carpenter, mason, bricklayer and so on. And the higher vocations they seek are almost entirely closed to them. There are no openings and, of course, they become heartened and poor and they are tempted to steal, and they do steal. Burglary is becoming now a very common offense among the Negroes and so is highway robbery. It was not formerly so. A Negro would sometimes steal, but you rarely saw a Negro burglar. Another thing, there is not a very high standard of morals among the Negroes. One who steals does not lose caste among them. That is very largely due to the fact that the Negroes, as a class, believe they are the under dog. They feel in their hearts that they are not fairly dealt with, although this is a mistaken idea. They think they don't get a fair whack, they tured, i roc con r whit a pretty serious one to deal with. But the Negro criminal ought to be treated with absolute justice and with no more severity than is dealt out to white criminals. I don't say these things of the Negroes because of any unkind feeling I have for them. I feel kindly toward them. If I sent every colored man to the penitentiary whom I might have sent I would have filled it from this county alone. That is literally true." The criminal has small chance to deceive Judge Wofford. The minute a prisoner stands before him he has him mentally catalogued and labelled. He knows intuitively whether the man is an ex-convict, whether he is a professional criminal and whether he is lying. He is fond of holding long conversations with criminals who plead guilty before him and it is well known among the prisoners in the jail that a man who pleads guilty and tells Judge Wofford the plain truth is likely to get off much better than if he lets twelve men pass upon his case. "Don't you try fool the old judge" is a common saying in the jail. The judge is a physiognomist and rarely misses a guess as to a man's real character. He often gives a young man a light sentence because he has a well formed head, large ears and mouth and a steady eye. When a judge makes up his mind that the young man before him is repentant and wishes to reform he inspires the young man's confidence at once and the promises the judge exacts are seldom broken. The first day of each term of court there appears before Judge Wofford upwards of fifty men who have committed crimes and have been paroled by him. It very rarely happens that one of these men breaks his parole. At each appearance several are discharged as reformed, but more are added and the number on parole is seldom less than fifty.—Kansas City Star, May 29. JUSTICE FOR THE NEGRO! Uncle Sam Takes a Firm Stand for Justice and Right, The action of the attorney general of the United States in prosecuting the murderers of Ed Johnson of Chattanooga, Penn. is to be commended. The sooner the government takes hold of these ruffians and renegades who committed this outrageous offense, the better it will be for the decent people of the community. The sheriff and his deputy should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, as it was through their carelessness, neglect and assistance, that the mob succeeded in getting the prisoner. It is all sheer nonsense to try to make the people believe that in a large city like Chattanooga a mob could go to the jail and take a prisoner out between ten o'clock and midnight without the officers knowing of it, and at the same time not attempting to resist the mob. This sheriff is a disgrace to the community in which he lives and all civilization. He must be of the low and ignorant class of men, who procure offices by bulldozing methods, which are heaped upon innocent and inoffensive Negroes. This entire gang should be tried, convicted and hung. They are low in the scale of humanity—lower than the worst heathen of China. We hope everlasting disgrace will descend upon their offspring, and that no good will ever come of any of those who assisted in this heinous offense. This man, Johnson, was innocent, but being a Negro, and submissive, as most Southern Negroes are, this gang of hoodlums resorted to this method, to become notorious, but we think that before the government is through with them they will either be at the end of a noose or within the walls of some federal prison. Let justice and right prevail. The School. Question. The attorney general has decided that no law can be made whereby separate schools can be maintained in Wichita, Kans., as the legislature of 1889 prohibits them in Sedgwick county. It therefore remains to be seen what attitude the Republican party will take on this question during the next legislature. The schools in Wichita have always been as they are now, and we see no reason why the public schools should be separated for the colored people any more than for the Chinese, Hungarans, Poles, Swedes or German. There seems to be a popular feeling among a certain class of white people of the United States to prey upon the Negro because he is poor in purse. It is high time that the American white man's religion should civilize him and bring him to a sense of high honor and duty to all human beings, irrespective of conditions. The schools should be for the public and not for the few or for the individual who tries to make capital out of them by drawing the color line. ```markdown ``` NUMBER 28. A Magnificent Effort to a Debt of Long Standing, St. John's Summer Fair and Fete is now a matter of history. It was indeed a delightful affair. The good people of Topeka turned out in full force each evening, and were met and welcomed by the Christian workers of the church to the auditorium and basement, where special programs were carried out and many beautiful booths greeted the pleasure seekers. All of the clubs and individual workers deserve special mention for the excellency of their work. "The Country Grocery" under the auspices of the Sunday school, presided over by Mrs. R. H. Wade and Mrs. Fred. Roundtree, assisted by the young misses of the school, was one of the special features of the week Mrs. Mattie Page, better known as the "Modern Circus Adventureus," with her assistants, succeeded in making the little girls happy in the Doll House. Mrs. Chloe Ramsey at the Gypsy booth, with Mrs. L. H. Slaughter as fortune-teller, made many hearts happy in the thought of future bliss. Mrs. E. Huddleson presided over the ice cream booth with grace and dignity. Mrs. Sadie Brantley and her able corps of assistants disposed of a large stock of fancy work at their booth. The A. B. O. W. T. club of charming young ladies was the center of attraction, as they dispensed cool drinks to the thirsty crowd. Mrs. R. A. Carson was in charge of the Rock Island Depot of sweets, while Mrs. E. Marlon in her saintly character, directed things to the satisfaction of all. The Indian booth, in charge of Mrs. Pace, was a pleasant retreat when the habits and customs of the Indians were explained and a dish of Indian food served. Mr. Taylor Reed was the charge of the beautifully decorated booth of the sewing circle and needed in disposing of many articles. large of both of reeded incles. The Gesia class was over by Mrs. Sadie Scott. It was the most charming class of the fair. It was most beautifully decorated and gorgeous. It was in Japanese style, while a large appeared in Japanese chinaware served tea in their beautifully arranged garden, and sold chinaware to the Orient. The reception and this effort have gone above the thousand dollar mark and Pastor Ame. Edwards expects to realize $120 toward the debt of St. John. Tomorrow being Children's Day, the pastor will preach to parents and children at 11 a.m. The sacrament of baptism will be administered to the children. At 3 p.m. the final Blue and Red contest of the Sunday School will take place; great interest is manifested in this friendly contest. The attendance was 225 on last Sabbath. At 8 p.m. the pastor will deliver the third sermon of a series on "Man of the Bible." The subject will be "Abraham." Come and hear the sermons. On Wednesday evening June 13th Prot. H. T. Kealing, A. M., editor of the A. M. E. Review, will lecture at St. John church. Prof. Kealing is one of the most distinguished educators and literary men of the country. As a lecturer, he is one of the most interesting speakers upon the American platform. He has been heard with special pleasure in many of the cities of England. Don't fail to hear this distinguished editor and educator. The choral club of the church, known as "the Sweet Singers of Israel," with Miss Eva Phillips as pianist, is now prepared to give assistance to the church in any way along musical lines. ¥ . \ : 7 must surely appeal to anyone who POULTRY NOTES. ‘of frult by failure to place it ne Soe eae LOCAL NEWS, [rat sy are rome ra| Dot ato the chttot mean tel om the mart ft oan cay tung to| MAM Wy UA i ina Wier this Issae, aud wnte Chas, A.

It is an easy thing to “break a market” in emall frunt but ex- ceedingly dificult to bring it hack to normal when once breken. Knough hes been said to Indoate that the profitable production of smalt fruit fe not a small consideration, If there was as “easy sailing” in the production and marketing of small fruit as ecme wise ones would hare un believe we might all of ue soon be on the high read to fortune, But as @ matter of fact to be successful ia this braneb of agricul- ture requires @ large amount of busi- neas ability and it will be well for tbe amateur to “make haste slowly.” POTATO SCAB. Potato scab is one of the meet corm: mon and wide spread diseases of the po- tato, It fs really a germ or fungus dis ence which infects the sew tubers eatorr from germa with which the tubers come {mn contact in the eoll or from germe which ane contained in the need potato when It fs planted. When the soil bar become badly Infested with tho potato mab fungus it is almost imponeible to get a clenn crop of potatces even by plonting seed which is free from ecab ‘The remedy in such a case fs rotation cf trop’, in which root crops are avoided, but which includes the small grame, coin, grasees, and clover cr alfalfa, Te apphration of Lasnyard manvre to the soll is also a means of iafecticn, and it fs beat to manure land for yotatecs tno or thiee sears before the putatioe are grown, minuring the cem or other Urops Which precede the potatoe m ere der of rotation. It Is posuble, however, to treat wed potatoes which are Infected with mab to ns to destroy the scab fungus ant tc cure a practically clean crop of potatecs when the tubers are planted in sedi which is free from fungus. Experiments with diferent treatments fer potato teub have shown that corrosive sub! mate {s one of the mext uffective preven: tathves of seab, Soak the petatoes fer ‘an hour ma sclution of 4 to 412 ounces of corrosse suibmate to 30 pal- long of water, It is recommended to ure the treatment Kevern] days before plant ing, since the «fect of the chemical may retard rermimation romewhat when ted just betore planting, AM tubera eoaked in the corrosive <ullimate — sebutie whould be planted, buned., or Yt since corrosive eublimate $4 4 poison, \ eafer preventatiye ef sal y +t tind a very elfectave cues as the fern Ivde treatment. Use a puurd of 40 5 cent founaldchyde to 20 gallens of « er Seak the tubers } 1-2 houre an ty 1s solution and then eut and plant as us ual, In practice at is found that 15 gal. luns of either of the foregoing telu- tions will be sufficient to treat 20 to 22 Lushels of potaters.

In one etpenment, when a few of tre Iower leases were removed from plante, trained to a single stem, there was a guin of 32 per cent, in stem growth and 38 per cent Inereae in the tize of the fruits over unpruned plants, In three Jother eapenments ertending over one, wo and three monthe, respectively, with ‘plants trained to two stems, the re moral of the lower half dozen or mee leaves gradually decreases with time, When the leaders were not cut back the smallest number of fruits per plant was obcained on the plants trained to a single stem, These fruits were of good vize and the plants thus tmined pro- duced the earliest frut of oJ] the df- ferent methods of training. The yield also on equal amounts of trols spue 'was the greatest by this Fystem cf training. ‘The greatest averoge weight of an- dividual fruit, as well as the greatest welgnt per plant, however, was given by the three-stem system where the leader jas heeded in, wherrar in the average number of fruit per plant this system >» lowest. ‘There was only one experiment fn which beading in was practiced. {n general, however, these experimente show that if we wish to obtain larpe fruit with @ tolerable good number per ‘plant the single leader constitutes one ‘of the best systems with the two, three and four shoot systems following in wl- ‘erably uniform succession, No doubt the largeat fruit and the preatest accelera- tion in matunty can ba obtained by heading in the kader—California Culti yaror, Mours thones Tioa me Home 144 4 p.m Hell 148 Top mm DR.

Cobura, secretary of the state board of agri culture, to succeed Hon. J.

Tur appeal which appears in an other portion of the paper from Rev. Kelly of the Third Baptist church, San Francisco. i recommended by Rey. J. H. Van Luo of Wichita, who is general missionary fer the Baptiste of this state, as worthy of considera tion, Anyone who canclo so, should respond as liberally as possible. Tux Negroes of Wichita are to be congratulated that they are making a bold effort to protect life, liberty and property. Lynching mustceaac aod the only way for it to cease 1s for the people to sce to it that it doca, Another thing the young Negroes of Wichita must do in to find werk and quit loafing arownd without any visible means of eup- port. There are too many young Negroes loafing and the better clans abould assivt the officers in ridding the community of that claves. WE are in receipt ofa copy of the book published by Porf. J. S, Moten, A, M, L. L.B., of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., entitled “What the Graduates of Linoolo Institute ase Doing.” Thisis a book contain. ing over one hundred pages, neatly bound in three colors, very interest: ing, and would be an inspiration to students who are trying to forge to thefrent, The history of the students who have succeeded is certatnly a credit to their Alma Mater, Lincoln Tostitnte. Wer want the young Negroes to find work and quit loafing. There aretoomany loafers for their own good and for the good of taeir par- nts. Every one who believes in good government and good society should ostracize those men and they should not be allowed even to visit homes where the people are progress- ive, Draw the linc and draw it tight on the loafing element. Some of the ladies of the city have made a Drilliant efort in the party givens few evenings ago by drawing a line on that class of young men and young and women who accept any and every one as their social equals, The sooner the young people do likewise the better it will be for society, The time isnow at hand when loafing young men should be cut by progres sive young ladies, and also the young ladies with these same young men. We are proud thatthe young ladies are setting a pace for permanent so- cictyin Topeka.

In our issue of May 25th, containing an article on the return of Prof. John A, Gregg from Africa, a mistake was made in stating the population of Greater Chatsworth as 14000, and the school enrollment as 600. Neither have reached those figures, though both are rapidly increasing. Tired Nervous When you feel languid, tired, nervous and irritable, your vitality is low-your supply of nerve energy exhausted, and your system running down for lack of power. The organs of the body are working poorly, or not at all, and you are not getting the nourishment needed. This soon impoverishes the blood and instead of throwing off the impurities, distributes it all through the body. This brings disease and misery. Feed the nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a nerve food, a nerve medicine, that nourishes and strengthens the nerves, and see how quickly you will get strong and vigorous. "My wife suffered with nervousness previous to recent attack of syphilis after a fever, from the fever, she was much worse, and could hardly control herself being exceedingly nervous when the least excited. She was very restless at night, and never had a good night's rest. She also suffered much from nervous headache. Dr. Miles' Nervine was recommended by a friend. After the first dose she had a good night's rest, and at the end of the first week's treatment she was wonderfully improved. Continued use of Nervine has completed her entire cure." 2021 Cherry St., Evantville, Ind. Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold by your drugstuff, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit.

Mr. Greer reports a pleasant trip, and was much pleased with the sights he saw in Texas. He says he saw a good many things that, were favorable to colored people, but many more that were against them, that is, the contempt and scorn in which the whites hold the blacks when it comes to manhood and womanhood. Mr. Greer is very well pleased with his new job and thinks his new manager one of the best railroad men in the state, Mr. William Mallory was married to Mrs. Anna Ferguson several weeks ago in this city. Mr. Mallory recently graduated from the High school, and the marriage was kept a profound secret until after his graduation. He has made wonderful progress in the past year, and it seems that fortune has smiled upon him at the end of his term in High school by awarding him a diploma for having completed his studies and also the hand of one of the most industrious widows in the state. Mrs Mallory is a very polished and cultured lady, and we wish her and her young husband a joyous voyage through life. They have purchased a four room cottage at Thirteenth and Van Euren streets, where they will be at home to their friends. CALL FROM SAN FRANCISCO. WILLIAM, KAN. May 29, '06.

ANCIENT BEDS TOO SUMPTUOUS Beautiful and Imposing They Were But Not Comfortable In olden times beds were very sumptuous articles of furniture, and the gift of one in a will represented in many cases a large sum of money, the bedstead with its fittings frequently having cost several hundred pounds. In Elizabeth's time and earlier, bedsteads were imposing creations of oak, richly carved in all manner of quaint device, with perhaps, a grinding satyr peering from behind a pillar, sufficiently glorious to murder the slumbers of the most soundent. Those were the days, too, of heavy silken hangings, valances and quilts, all richly embroidered in silk and gold and silver thread with heavy bullion hangings to add weight and majesty. Such beds may be seen in some of the valuable collections at the museums and at English country seats, such as Watwick castle and other notable old places. To modern eyes they compare very unfavorably, despite their intrinsic value, with the simple, daly beds of modern times. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ignition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the wands of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundchau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings. Wouldn't Take the Office Patrick Plunkett, a well known Irishman of Portland, Me, wished to be elected an officer of some well known society. The members having assembled one day, he rose and said: "I nominate Patrick Plunkett. Seeing that nobody moved, he again rose and said "I second the motion." But still they failed to notice him.

Just a season some amount was given Prof. J. M. Glowell's success in potato growing on his own farm near the Mane experiment station, having produced a pop of over three thousand bushels. Thus the crop is equally profitable, but similarly different. The land is covered with poultry houses and yards. All winter the egg output was very fruitful, averaging eight hundred eggs daily in dimly when prices were as high, and gradually increasing as the lesson alvaed and the younger pullets began to lay. Just now the chicken crop occupies the chief attention, and the thirty broiler houses with yards are a seme of activity. There are twenty four incubators located in the barn cel The plan is to hatch all the chickens early in the season so that the culls will be available as broilers in June when prices are high. I last year those were sold as broilers in June at an average weight of two pounds at thirty cents a pound, the cost of breeding them to this weight being comparatively light. The pullets were, of course, returned to keep up the laying stock. The houses for laying are supplied to represent the best results of Professor G. Wells experience at the adjoining town of the experiment station. The main house is from humble foot long by twenty feet wide, the wall seven feet in front and five feet in rear. The entrance to the house is on a platform 20 feet high the entire length of the building on the front, with the doors opening into each porch, thus avoiding the spines and holes of space of a passageway under the roof. Each apartment in the house is twenty two square, will not look board portions and hinges. An owl food track runs the entire length, on which runs a tram car. The car passes through the partitions through doors which bring mobility each way. It each apartment is a posting closet three times on the floor, with canvas sides which are closed at night. But bottomed up to the ceiling in daytime. The resting apartment is cleaned every morning and the droppings are dried away on the trunk cat. In even camp are wipes and small comps used to break up sitters. The greater part of the south side of the house is open, except for wine fencing but a large canvas france is fastened to the ceiling in the daytime and lined at night and in stormy weather. There are two wires in each room. Part from the house to the runs is through openings at the bottom of the front side of the house passing underneath the platform. Chair, grit and oyster shells are kept in constant supply. The dry food system seems to be preferred, being fed in the large automatic heppers containing a mixture of ground grain. Water is given in galvanized iron pools. On the slab of each room is a layer of sand an inch deep and above several inches of straw, which is trawled often enough to keep it reasonably clean. One hundred pullets and six masters are kept in each apartment. The feel consists of four quarts of cracked grain fed in the liner in the meringue, two quarts of oats and two of wheat fed in the same way at noon, beaten which the fowls are allowed to help themselves to the dry meal in the boxes whenever they like. Our dry meal is made of two parts bran, one lime-sweet meal, one middling, one cornmeal, one local scraps and one brewers' grains. This mixture, although a good egg producer, is not so palatable that the fowls come to overeat it, in fact, they will leave at any time to scratch out the cracked grains which are fed in the litter. Cut flower is given dry every day in winter. It is carried through the houses on the useful tram car mentioned. - American Collector. HOW TO MAKE FOWLS The mating of the fowls is of great importance to the true fancier, and should receive careful attention from him. The experienced and successful fancier, well knows its importance, and analyzes that upon his knowledge of the much of his success depends, writes to correspondent in Indiana Farmer. Many a season's work has been a failure, from a fancier's standpoint, simply because of mistakes in mating. The clock may have been good, but not well needed, and the result therefore was a failure. To the beginner it may seem that by mating his highest scoring male with his highest scoring females he has made his best possible mating and can confidently look for good results in their progeny. This may at times prove correct, but not always; it depends upon circumstances. No bird is perfect, and therefore must have its faulty points as well as its good points. Now to make a male bird having a faulty comb with females with a like defect, we must not expect the outcome to be good; for the offspring we apt to come with this defect magnified. We should not expect good results from mating a male and a female with the same defect, for we will not get any but bad results. It requires but little thought for one to plainly see this and cause him or her to say that with such a male one must mate females having good combs if good results in that direction are to be expected. You may be so doing you will not always obtain good results in bad, but you will not always have bad chicks; you will receive many good chicks. To obtain chicks as next perfection it can be got, always breed from the very best stock that can be obtained. TO KEEP OFF HAWKS A Massachusetts correspondent of the Rural New Yorker gives the following advice on how to keep hacks away from chicken yards. In the first place, my chicken yard is fenced with poultry netting, small mesh at bottom, large mesh at top lengthwise on the fill I run wires, telegraph wire or wire half as large on high posts ten feet above the ground and about ninety feet up. Among these wires I stretch common twine, such as is used for lining own nails. Just how frequently these lines stretch across the wires I do not know but I feel season nine was not tense than four or five feet apart. I think these lines should cover the entire field to the outermost edge. This costs something a small sum of money in material. Some labor and considerable time, but it is a satisfactory to let one's chicks out and tell that they are out. "I never saw a hook in my chicken yard last season after the lines were put up. Put up the posts and wire sub stentially, on they will remain several years. The two will most renewing every season, although with care, taking down and rolling it up in the tall, it might be made to lo duty two seasons. I also hang up on the wire some strips or colored cloth, and some slings placed on it. Many bottles suspend also or good." The weather just at this time is very transitable for spraying orchids. Fortunately we have been having dry clear weather without rain. This gives heat conditions for successful work. May 10 we completed our second spraying on the right side home orchid and six of our contract orchids which we have nearby. In nineteen years we have been using a power sprayer, the pump carried to the wagon wheel. This year, however, we have installed an entirely new sprayer in apparatus run by a gasoline engine which is for superior, throwing a sleek strong mist of spray and applying more gallons in a day. By using two tanks and four men we are able to apply about 2,500 gallons of spray daily. One team draws the spray, tank and gasoline engine combined while the other hauls the liquid from the mixing tanks to the spraying outfit in the onboard so as to run the engine continuously. In order to preclude the possibility of running out of water at this annual time we have put in a cistern holding six thousand gallons of reserve water so that we are able to spray steadily without being entirely dependent upon the wind. We have also put in a system of elevated tanks in order to facilitate mixing the ingredients of which the spray is composed. So far we have sprayed with Hondo a mixture, using four pounds of sulphate of Copper and five pounds of lime to fifty gallons of water. To this we add two and one fourth pounds of arsenate of lead. The first spray was applied before the blossom buds opened, but while they were showing. We have just finished the second spraying aiming to get some of the poison within the slowly closing calyx of each apple. We at once began the third spraying using this time only as a measure of lead in the strength of two and one half pounds to fifty gallons of water and two pounds of lime. The object of this application is to serve as a check on the spraying just completed, in case any branches were missed. Having covered the orchard the third time we will then postpone all further spraying until the middle of July when we will again spray with the Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead, hoping to check by this means the work of the second brood of our ever persistent enemy the codling moth. We daily use 102 pounds of sulphate of copper, 109 pounds of arsenate of lead, one barrel of lime, and 2,500 gallons of water. The daily cost is $27.50. set forth in another article at the close of the season. COMMENCEMENT AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. The people of California seem to think much of our work. One good pastor sent in an order for one dozen copies of "00 Western U." last week. The reports from the final examinations show a high degree of excellence and efficiency among the students for the entire year's work in scholarship, labor and department. The commencement festivities for this year opened last Tuesday evening with a reception to the graduates and faculty by the junior class. The event proved a very tasty social affair. Wednesday afternoon at 3 p.m. the unveiling of portraits of Rev. Elon Blatchley, founder of Western University, President Wm. F. Vernon, and Bishop Abraham Grant was an event of much ceremony. Rev. J. P. C. Taylor of Leavenworth, Rev. J. C. Callwell of St. Joseph and Presiding Elder Burkesdale of St. Louis district were present and made suitable remarks which still further dignified the occasion. Wednesday evening the annual band concert in charge of Prof. then, W. Jackson of Hopeka was a rare treat. The special auditorium was crowded with band enthusiasts from the two Kansas Cities and their friends. The boys are putted themselves nobly. When it is considered that it was only last November that their instruments were purchased, and then many did not know one nor one note from another it is marvelous to think and was surprisingly wonderful to hear and see them tender the high grade of band music that Prof. two W. Jackson brought out of them on this season. Thursday morning the boys come to Kansas City, Iam, and paraded up and down Minnesota avenue, the main business street, and were photographed. Then they escorted Prof. Jackson to the Union depot on the Missouri side, and in the presence of an admiring crowd give him a firewell concert at the depot entrance. The respect and love thus shown by the boys for their leader and teacher captured the onlookers, white and black, and they applauded continuously. Thursday evening the rain interfered with the huge crowd which was prepa- puring to attend the exercises of the musical students. Prof. Robt. Jackson brought out some fine selections and then announced a special Sunday evening program at Alton Chapel, Kansas (city, M) Today evening the four literary societies combined were lectured to by Dr Inez L. Scruggs of the Western Baptist College of Mtion Mo. The address was a literary gem and elevated the ideals of the young receptive minds. Dr. Scruggs was accompanied by Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, president of the Kansas State Baptist Convention, Rev. George McNeal, and Corvine Patterson of K. C', Kan The lacunaeate sermon to the graduates was preached at 3 p.m. Sunday by Rev John A Gregg, the Kansas educator and returned missionary recently from Cape Town, South Africa. The auditorium was filled with people from all over the two states and visitors from us far as California. The graduates appeared in their caps and gowns and made a splendid appearance. Rev John Johnson of Sacramento, Cal., read the Scripture lesson, and Bishop Abum Grant afterward gave some very wholesome advice to the graduates among which he said: "Services which you will be called upon to do in life may not be of your own choosing or what you most desire. Watever it be go at it and do it. Do it well. Your theories learned in the school room will have to be greatly modified to fit a practical world. In all of your life seek to be doors in the world. Serve them who need it, is the greatest end of all education. "In 40 years the Negro in America will have been passed upon and his place established among races present, and you will have to rise above and impress your own individuality upon the community and then you will make your own place in life. You are going to have opposition, for nothing has ever gone out into the world that has amounted to much which has not had opposition. Keep straight in the road. Always know you are right. How shall you know you are right? Because you shall have prepared yourself on all subjects which you need. When you do not know you will be a coward as soon as you come in contact with the man who knows. Do your heart and tell the truth. The truth be known it is right to do the right, and because the principles of right have been implanted in you until you can not do wrong." Sunday evening, "The Atonement," composed by S. Colebridge Taylor, the great Negro musician of London, was rendered at Allen Chapel, K. C., May by the famous Western University Choral Society 39 voices, under the direction of Prof. Robt. G. Jackson, instructor of piano and voice. A magnificent outpouring of the people witnessed the rendition of this high class sacred oratorio. The entire lower section and the galleries of the church became so crowded that the doors had to be locked and scenes of others turned away so anxious and eager were the people to near and see these talented singers. After two months's hard work and continuous practice upon this very difficult selection the volume, harmony, attacks and execution was so excellent as to chant praise from the musical ruths present, and profuse expressions of delight on the part of the large audience. The soloists were at their best and often brought forth evidence of pathos and profound reverence in the faces of the awe stricken listeners. Added to the heavy, deep peals of the pipe organ, the terms of Christ's suffering on the cross, the trial before Pilate, the blood thirsty mob and the terrible, terrible death was depicted in song as God inspired singers to do it was apthetic, it was grand. Monday evening the combined religious societies were lectured to by Rev. T. G. Steward, chaplain in the U. S. regiment army, stationed at Fort Nahanni. No. 6 the high literacy and classical training of this gandamum is sufficient to honor and benefit any organization which he may address. Tuesday evening the class day exercise of senior class will be held. Wednesday evening the cultural contest for gold medal between the student young men.

The closing exercises of the Lincoln school were held at the opera house Friday evening, and we regret very much that more of our people were not present to hear the exercises, for they were extremely interesting. Each of the four graduates delivered an oration, and without exception were well delivered. were full of good thought, and in addition to this, were brief. Several splendid choruses were rendered by the school, and it was well done, there being many fine voices among the boys and girls Geo. Triggers and Cora DeClue rendered a duet so ably that the audience called for more. The instrumental solos showed careful training and the vocal solo by Rosa Brown was most excellent. Following the program proper Dr. Scruggs, of Macon, presented the diplomas, a farewell chorus was sung and the audience was dismissed with the benediction. Another school year has gone by, and the board of education is of the opinion that the Lincoln school has done the best work in its history the past year, J. W. Mozee, as principal, with his able corps of assistants, is to be congratulated for the splendid results. As a token of the appreciation of their splendid work, the board at its meeting Friday evening re elected Mr. Mozee and his entire corps of assistants.—Carrollton, (Mo.) Democrat.

Sir: Please allow us space in your journal to speak to the public and the many readers of your paper in regards to the success of our revival just closed which was the greatest success of any that have ever been run in our town by white or colored. It was run by our pastor, Elder A. J. Rogers, assisted by Elder R. F. Berry, the evangelist of Wear City, Kan. The meeting commenced May the 6th, 1900, and close the 27th of same month with the following results: There were 16 happy souls converted and baptized and 8 restored, making a total of 24 and will say that Elder Berry is a strong and able evangelist that fully understands the work and if any one contemplates running a meeting we would advise you to get him. He will do you good service. Our pastor, Elder A. J. Rogers, is a faithful and able preacher. We all love him and are proud of him and will do all we can to keep him. Love to all, and may God bless the Christian work everywhere. Commencement season opened auspiciously, Friday, June 1st, with the closing exercises of the model school.

The local papers gave a very interesting account of these exercises, referring in the most complimentary terms to President Allen as an educator and to his scholarly address, which they pronounced one of the last ever given in Mexico. The senior banquet to the president and faculty completed a round of entertainments that has added much to the social life of the institution and that conducted in a practical manner is just as much a part of the legitimate work of the education that a first class school should furnish its students, as that which comes from the text book. Students and teachers are rounding up a year of strenuous work. Final examinations will soon be on hand. Summer school students are already ma- triculating, hoping to gain a little upon their fellows by coming early; and thus does Lincoln Institute bear out its name as a professional training school with an approximately continuous session, where students have exceptional advantages to study and at the same time make all or part of their expenses. Especially is this true of the young men who, besides finding steady employment in the homes of the leading white citizens, frequently find it possible to make extra money by attendance upon the various social functions that occur in the capitol city. Mr. Bukk, wife of the governor, has on several occasions employed the institute young men, and has very highly commanded the service rendered as well as paying the young men well. There are law of the higher institutions of learning so situated that students may thus make money while giving daily attendance in the school room. IOLA. KAN. In Lane of Red Bird, I T., was in the city last week trying to persuade the colored people to see the necessity in buying land in the territory. Several persons bought lots.

We are proud to say that two of our young ladies, the Misses Rosa and Powell Evoll, received their diplomas with high honors. Mr. Earl Campbell and E. G. Green has opened up a first class grocery store. It is just the thing that has been needed among our people in Iowa for some time. We wish them much success. Rev. D. S. Topp of St. Scott, Kauai, was in the city last week and preached at the Second Baptist church on Wednesday evening. The rally at the A M F Church on last Sunday was quite a success. Bert G W. Gordon preached an abla sermon at 3 o'clock, Rev. White of Dodge City, at night. Madames Emma Coker and Adeline Monius, who have been committed to their beds for the last seven or eight weeks, are able to be out again. EMPORIA.

Miss Bessie Foute, of Frankford, who has passed all her studies in the Noamal, will take advantage of the summer course. Quite a number of Fmporeans took advantage of the cheap rates and went to Kansas City Sunday. Rev A. H. Brooke, P.E. Wichita district, A. M. K, passed through the city Sunday night, en route to K. C., Kan., to see his family and also to attend the Presiding Eidens Council. Henry Dodd expects to visit Topeka soon. Rev. H. H.

To the colored people of Georgia, Missiasippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other southern states, We are in receipt of » communica tion from Mr. WG, Byrd, 675 Hood St, Portland, Ore., who says that eacellent oppertuuities are now titered fur progressive colored men and women who wish to improve their opportumities, There 1a great Jdemand for them, as the white peo- ye of that section of the country are gctting tired of Japs and Chinamen; they do not want anything but pro- gressive and industrions colored men and women, No loafers or those who idle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very atrict against that class and are rigid- ly enforced, It strikes us very forcibly that the culored people of theve states who wish to better their condition should go to a state like Oregon, where the jaws are more equally interpreted, The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and seldom, 1f ever, do the people judge by the color when it comes to business.
