Historical Society State House but that he had been abroad and had some knowledge of the European languages and countries. The woman then went her way, and Dr. Ransom thought no more of the meeting, but busied himself with getting the speech in order he was to make at the Alabama school. "While thus engaged he came across some other speeches of his, and handed one of them to the colored porter of the Pullman car, who was near at hand. An hour or so later two men approached him and addressed him with the words, 'Ain't you a nigger?' repeating the question several times, and adding some strong oaths in the Southern vernacular. Not regarding the term 'nigger' as his proper race appellation, Dr. Ransom did not answer the men. His attitude seemed to enrage the men, and with a fusillade of oaths they hustled and cuffed him the length of two cars, gathered up his haggege, which was some distance away and pitched it against his stomach with such force that the effect of the blow has kept him under the care of two physicians, and part of the time three since his return to Boston. "Notwithstanding this outrage, Dr. Ransom continued his journey to Huntsville, Ala., where he arrived at 2 a.m Monday and began trying to get into communication with W. H. Council, the colored principal of the Normal shool, who had invited him there to speak. Council was no where to be found but finally, about midday, sent two men to meet Dr. Ransom. They talked very indefin- itely about his going out to the school, and when he had begun to tell them of his experiences on the train they said they had heard all about it, and then they declared they could not take him in the school campus. "After much persuasion they con ducted him to the outskirts of the lawn, where they left him till they could consult with Principal Council. The principal sent them back with a request to Ransom to leave the town at once and with money to pay his car fare. No reason for this treatment was vouchsafed at the time. Dr. Ransom left the place without being afforded an opportunity to eat and without seeing the man who had invited him to make the long journey from Boston The story of being with a white woman and trying to pass himself on as a foreigner, Dr. Ransom said, in conclusion, is pure fiction. He did not, he says, enter a dining car at any time during his trip WHITE MAN WEDS First Lieutenant Robert G. Collins of the American army, serving in the Phillipines in the scout regiment, a remarkably handsome young man, has taken to himself a Filipino bride, according to advice received in army circles here since a dispatch from Denver, Colo The ceremony was performed in Bingan, Laguna Province, Luzon Island. The name of the bride is Marie Nuqui Second Lieutenant Ernest Stoker of the scouts was best man and the ceremony was performed by a Catholic priest. All that is known of the heuten- ant's love alliance in the Orient was told by his father, Major General Augustus Corliss, retired, who lives in Denver, Gen. Corliss said: "When I left the Philippines he was in love with a Spanish girl, but he must have changed his mind, for the name of his wife certainly indicates that he has married a native Filipino." VOLUME VIII. Dr. Ransom Denies Passing as a. Foreigner—Sick After Violence and Insults in the Southland. The Dr. Ransom referred to in the following article will be remembered by a great many Topekans, to have delivered an address here three years ago before the Kansas Lincoln Day club. He is one of the brightest men in country, and it is hoped that he will receive justice in this matter. The Rev. Reverey C. Ransom, pastor of the Charles Street A. M. E. church, whose expulsion from a Pullman car in the South and the subsequent charge preferred against him by Principal W. H. Council of the Huntville (Ala.) Normal School, on whose invitation he went South to make an address at the closing exercises of the school, have occasioned considerable commotion in colored church circles in the North, was too ill to meet his congregation at the regular services yesterday. Dr. Ransom expected to make a statement from his pulpit yesterday, and a large congregation gathered in the morning to hear it. He was too ill, however, to be at the church, and instead sent a letter to the congregation which was red by the Rev. B. W. Arnett of Pennsylvania, late chaplain of the 47th United States Infantry, and son of the noted colored bishop of the same name, who silled the pulpit in the pastor's absence. The letter was as follows. "Boston, Mass., June 2, 1900" "To My Dear Church and Many friends." "I am sending, by the hand of Chaplain B W. Arnett, who will occupy the pulpit today, this world. I am very thankful to the Almighty God, who has brought me back to you at least alive, and I am thankful to you for the expression of your sympathy and affection, which have indeed, been boundless. I for four days since my arrival two physicians have been in attendance upon me and I am still unable to leave my bed or to talk for any length of time. The physical violence I received added to the insult and humiliation put upon me in my recent southern trip, have caused and ear still causing me great suffering. The conflicting falsehoods you have read in the daily papers will, when I am able to be with you in person, be properly set before you, and with your co-operation and I by the help of God, those who are responsible will be brought before our counts (for thank God, courts and not mobs rule Massachusetts) to give an account and make proper amends. "Continue to pray for my recovery, and may God bless you "Yours for Jesus' sake, "RIVENRY C. RANSOM" After the service a statement from the Rev. Dr Kansom, the first in which his side of the story has been presented, was given to a Herald reporter by a friend of the pastor, "Dr. Kansom," said this friend, "is still a very sick man, unable to leave his bed. He has not been able to make any extended statement about the matter, as his physicians forbid his talking about it at present. All that he has definitely said so far is that while on his way to Alabama he was sitting in a Pullman car with his traveling bag which was covered with foreign baggage express labels, placed upon it while the owner was traveling in Europe. "A woman who wag on the train, noticing these evidences of travel abroad, asked him if he was a foreigner. He told her he was not. IGNORED AT BRENTSVILLE.. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1906. THE NEGRO MUST GET TO THE FARM THE NEGRO MUST GET TO THE FARM C. A. Groves in a Speech Before the Peoples' Forum in Kansas City, Kas., Tells the Negro That His Salvation Lies in Tilling the Soil. Again you have invited me and I have accepted but you failed to say on what subject you wished me to speak, so, kind friends, I have selected that which lies nearest my very being, and is mainly to the young men, of whom I am one. In short, "Why not Migrate?" But, before going any farther, I wish to say, I preceed a man of more mature years; a man who has manipulated the forces and opportunities presented, and has, accordingly won success. Perhaps if I were of more mature years, my head silvered over by the frost of many winters, what will be said would have more weight and leave a greater impression for, gentlemen, it requires men in this commercial age to be farmers, for it is they who are the most conservative element of any people, the broadest in their views, hopes and aims in life. Their counsel is first sought by all other elements in their great undertakings; upon their operations and productions depend all others. The financiers consult them, the longevity of the great transportation systems of our commonwealth are dependent upon them, and even you, regardless of what you might say, are at their mercy. Boys, Men and Fellow Citizens, how much longer will you suffer it to be so? Why longer chose luckel fortune? Why not become men and lay a solid foundation, not upon sand or social excitement and attendant habits, but upon that which our God for 250 years educated you to be, and from which you have sally strayed, viz: tillers and owners of the soil It is a fact that needs no demonstration, that a people cannot soar higher than the soil they live upon. Then, it behoves us to scatter ourselves to the four winds of the earth and lay hands upon that which will give us not only commercial rating but backbone, so that all nations will recognize us to be a factor in the great progress of civilization Boys, many of us expect to be men some day, men, I pray good of reputation, of high and lotty arms and ideals, with courage to face the entangled duties and responsibilities of life and men of families. O, God, can you not rest the signs of the times? A family to be reared, and provided for in your dissipated old age. Beloved the picture that is before you. But it not a sad spectacle and swimming to you, or do you need an artist to portray in more vivid colors? Here are men who 25-9 years ago were full of youthful vigor, many had money and could purchase land in this locality from seven to twenty seven dollars per person, and here is another man who funded in their midst with less than a dollar. Finally, these men married midst plan dot personified, this man eloped. These men preferred social excitements and attending habits, while this man skulked off to the then far off country. Twenty five years have elapsed and where are they, and where is he? You say luck favored him, but no, gentlemen, no. He, in his youthful days, sacrificed all but wife, and bought land which has grown into intrinsic value, while they sacrificed nothing, bought good clothes and promenaded in the so-called high society, and today to a casual observer the rest goes without saying. There is an old a large. Experience is a dear school, but fools will learn in no other. Is it no, boys, in your case? Thus, the fact is, we must sacrifice and walk at one end or the other. Why not this? Migrate tomorrow and begin a solid foundation, for a man who provideth not for his family is worse than an infidel, no sayeth the Holy Writ. Besides, you owe it to yourself, race and to God. I was about to say, and will say, that if the young men of this town would take as much time and interest in studying some of the economic problems or phases of the body politic, as they do playing cards and attending habits, they would accomplish untold good, not only for themselves but for posterity and the race at large, and would not leave a stone unturned until somewhere in God's broad domain their right would be vested in a piece of realty. Furthermore, any ignorant fool can play cards, but it requires men; and men of brain, to accomplish anything worth while in this day of survival of the fittest. Then, too, how can we while away our time in such valueless follies while other men are planning to rob and destroy all that constitutes our true manhood? Bays, by aside your consummate false pride and ostentatious passion, which to my mind are doing more to destroy you than "rice prudence" and all else, and begin purchasing a garden spot so that we may become a productive instead of a consumptive people Gentlemen, the Kansas born black man is not a fixed population as has the Kentucky or Missouri, and thus it lies with us to set the price for all time to come, and how will we begin, by entering to the Pollman Co., curbstone politicians and fifty cent jobs, or by becoming property owners, frugal and industrious? Boys those of us who have resolved to reach the heights, to excel on occupy the places of our fathers and those soon to pass to the realms beyond in the most suitable way to ourselves, posterity and fellow mortals, must go to our work, willingly on unwillingly, morning, noon and night, for the day of sympathy and pity for us has passed forever, and to a large extent the betterment of our oppressed race remains with us. Then, what will your posterity say to you and of you when they awake and find that you have stood silent by and allowed every nationality to come to your door, purchase land and they, without a lapse upon which to build a superstructure, of necessity beginning anew. Gentlemen, another thought. For signers are landing on our coasts at the rate of 60,000 or more a month and who are they? The lowest elements and reproducers of the old world, far inferior to us from an intelligent and moral standpoint. But what are they doing, from the rocky nobs of Maine to the Golden Gates of the far West? They are purchasing land, buying land with an iron clad oath that it will never revert to the hands of an American or other than a member of his own nationality. Besides, they are not only buying land, but filling every available position ever held by the whites and blacks. Now, our saddest plight is this, an undeniable fact, that you can purchase the same land upon the same terms and conditions, which are reasonable, as these people. Can you read, or are you blind? To whom will you pay tribute fifty years hence, to yourselves, or this class of foreigners? Unless you change fronts, and do it now, this foreigner will be your master and you worse than the serfs peasants and helpless Jews of Russia. Think of it. We have increased, not by immigration, from 4,000,000 to 10,000,000 in 42 years, and at the same rate some 50 years from now there will be some twenty millions. Pray, tell me, what will these people do amidst a people who own the soil if we do not start now to buy land for their incoming. Thus, my prayer to God is, that while we are yet young and full of vim and vigor, we will not lose an opportunity until we have established a solid foundation in the soil of our God, thus making the burden for the future generation lighter, for it is a familiar principle in political economy that a people owning the land they live upon can with difficulty be ejouled or forced to leave. Certainly, this applies to us, for instance. If you had owned money, land or realty in this city could they have forced on you the Jim Crow high school! I tell you, it would have been otherwise. Again, gentlemen, the agricultural field is the very broadest, most independent, remunerative and the happiest of all vocations. To illustrate. My brother, Sylvester, dad of fourteen summers, raised from two and one half acres $150.00 in potatoes and $105.00 of cabbages, a net total of $401.00, between April 7th and Sept 19th, 1895, a period of five months, leaving him seven months for school and play, while you averaged $40 a month, if that, or $480 per year, working every day and for many Sundays included, with a family, your rent, living and social requirements to be deducted. What is your net? Then, is a putting remark to those boys who have left the farm to fill positions of trust and responsibility, have but one aim, the accumulation of enough money to start work, returning to the farm to become independent instead of dependent Boys, why not migrate to the farm? I am sure that if Uncle Sam would appeal to you to go to the front or foreign field, you, with your noble spirit of loyalty to Old Glory, would respond, fearing it your duty. It matters not what provisions may follow—and rightly so. But, sir, when your rice appeals to you to go to the front and assist in laying a foundation upon which to build, you ought it to soon saying you cannot live in exile amidst flourishing fields of boundless plenty and modern convenience. Ah, I was about to ask if you were truthful in the broadest sense of the word, to yourself to your rice and to your God. Why stay ye here, crying trade unions, foreign immigration and race prejudice we against us, and dying like sheep with the rot, when you could just as easily take up your trade upon the fertile plains of old Kansas and there become men among men 0. ye fathers of tomorrow, Afro-American citizens, open your eyes to your duty. Turn your face again towards the soil, to the end that we might become established, elevating our oppressed race on towards the heights. Oh, that we as young men might catch the inspiration of those who have sacrificed their time, money, and their very lives in order to make us men among men and fit subjects for the kingdom of God. Then, let us live to bless and not to damn. Very kindly yours. C. A. GROVES, B. S. A. NUMBER 24. BEST IN SCHOOL'S EXISTENCE! Western University Sends Forth a Number of Boys and Girls Fitted for Life's Sterner Duties. The tenth annual commencement exercises of Western University, Quindaro, Kans., were held last week with crowning success, and large crowds were present to witness the graduating exercises on Thursday afternoon. Fully 1500 people were on the grounds. The exercises were held in a large tent, which seated several hundred, and still hundreds were left standing. Prof. Vernon has much over which to feel elated, the wonderful success he has made of the school, finding himself surrounded by a strong faculty and trustees, who have given him support during his ten years of struggling, triumphing now in victory and the good of the people as well as himself, and temporarily retiring to take up the position of Registrar of the Treasury at Washington, D. C. There were distinguished visitors from all portions of the country to witness this closing of the most prosperous year in the history of Western University and also to extend the parting hand to the president, who took his departure for Washington in company with his wife on the Sunday following the commencement day. The line of procession was formed at the Trades building, led by the Quindaro Cornet band which is under the tutorship of Prof. Geo. W. Jackson, of the late Twenty-third Kansas regiment, and we must say that it is one of the best amateur bands in the country. They were followed first by Bishop Grant, Pres. Vernon, the trustees, the faculty, then the 175 pupils, headed by the graduates in their caps and gowns. They marched from thus building to the tent which was erected near Ward's hall, where the exercises began. The following were the graduates from the Normal department: Francis Everitte Alexander, El Paso, Texas, Cora Alice Crosswhite, Columbia, Mo., Margaret Ann Harris, Topeka, Kans. Mettie Ann Mallory, Baxter Springs, Kans.; Daisy Renobia Meus, Columbia, Mo., John Albert Pennick, Kansas City, Mo., Bessie Honora Walthall, Lawrence, Kansas, from the stenography course. Orna Whalum Skinner, Coffeyville, Kansas Dink Todd, Marion, Ky.; carpentry course, Hinton Julius Fisher, Rosedale, Kansas, Printing course Margaret Lanna Minus. Topeka, Kans. Miss Margaret Harris, the valedictorian, made one the most addresses anyone would wish to hear, entitled "Africa," which we will publish later. She received great applause. The orations, all of them, were excellent and the faculty is to be commended upon the interest they have taken in the pupils. The students show that they are making rapid progress and their association with this school has brought to them what they could have gained nowhere else. Several of the old trustees and fore-runners of the school were present, and it was quite interesting to converse with them and hear what they had done for the school when it was in its infancy twenty years ago. Presiding elder Bryant of the St. Joseph district, one of the founders of the Quindaro institution, who assisted in laying the first corner stone, is one of the stalwarts of the A. M. E. church. His home is in Liberty, Mo. and he has gone to considerable expense at different times to assist in bringing this school up to its present plane. He has often walked five and CONTINUATION PAGE 3.

G. Byrd, 675 Hood St. Portland, Ore., who says that excellent opportunities are now offered for progressive colored men and women who wish to improve their opportunities. There is great demand for them, as the white people of that section of the country are getting tired of Japs and Chimamen; they do not want anything but progressive and industrious colored men and women. No loafers or those who alle the year around need look towards Oregon, as the laws are very strict against that class and are rigibly enforced. It strikes us very forcefully that the colored people of these states who wish to better their condition should go to a state like Oregon, where the laws are more equally interpreted. The schools are mixed, the laws are administered according to justice, and sedition, if ever, do the people judge by the color when it comes to business.

A. M. FULLER. DLOATING IN CATTLE Gristine Lampany is a common nigent of cattle, being easily recognized by a uniform swelling of the left side of the animal, especially in the region of the flank. The accumulation of gas in the first stomach (puunch or runen) is the cause of the distension. Indigestion or paralysis of the stomach, from no matter what cause, will bring on the disorder. The affection has been observed especially in weak, anthylic cattle when first turned on a good pasture, or after they have broken into a corn bun or a stock of potatoes or turpuses. The affection is extremely common in the spring when cattle are first turned on alfalfa or clover. These plants being eaten very rapidly and in large quantities, and the readiness with which they ferment, produce indigestion. Frosted foods commonly cause bloating, not only from the chilling action on the stomach, but also from the tenacity of all frozen vegetables to undergo rapid fermentation when thawed out. Inflammation of the rumen often causes bloating, the inflammation being caused from the ingestion of hot or cold foods, foreign blues (nails, poulries, ```markdown ``` Symptoms.—Swelling of the flank on the left side is characteristic, and in well developed cases the distension may be above the level of the group. Tapping of the finger on the clavated portion gives a drum like sound. The patient stands with an anxious expression, and may wander about uneasily and show great distress. In severe cases, if not relieved in time, the animal breathes with great difficulty, singers in walking, or even in standing, and in a few moments falls and dies from suffocation. The distention of the stomach may become so great as to prevent the animal breathing. Treatment. In less severe cases all that may be necessary is to drive the animal on a walk for a quarter or half an hour. A simple treatment is to point cold water on the animal's back, allowing it to run down over the distended stomach; if possible a hose can be used to throw water direct from a hydrant onto the animal's body. This last treatment is beneficial in starting a contraction of the muscles of the abdomen, and in turn stimulates the muscles of the stomach. Some prefer to use a bit or gag in the animal's mouth; when the patient tries to dislodge the bit this causes movement of the tongue, jaws, and throat; a stimulation of saliva is the result; it being swallowed opens the lower end of the esophagus and allows the gas to escape through the mouth. These simple methods of treatment are more or less satisfactory in the less extreme cases, while in urgent cases the gas must be allowed to escape without delay on otherwise the animal dies from suffocation. The trocar and cannula is the most satisfactory instrument to use in tapping cattle; the instrument should be clean, and in time will permit it should be boiled or have hot water poured on it, or inserted in a disinfectant before using. An incision should be made through the skin at the highest point of the swelling, and is usually located at the center of the triangle formed by the last rib and point of the hip and the transverse processes of the lower vertebrae. The trocar and cannula are placed together and the point of the trocar placed in the incision that has been made, with one blow of the hand the trocar and cannula should be driven through the abdominal wall and into the distended stomach. The trocar is then removed and the gas allowed to escape. The cannula should be left in position as long as any gas escapes. It is often benchtail to place a funnel in the cannula and pour a disinfectant that may be handy, directly into the pouch, thus checking the fermentation. At times it is necessary to keep the cannula in the stomach for several hours so as to prevent a repetition of the former attack. If the cannula is left at it, should be watched by a competent attendant who will not leave the animal until the gas has ceased to issue through the instrument. In removing the cannula the trocar should be inserted so as to force any food back into the stomach that may have accumulated in the cannula during the escape of the gas. Just as soon as the animal appears to be out of danger it is necessary to resort to internal treatment, thus checking fermentation. Turpentine in two ounces does every one to three hours, given in a pint of milk, is beneficial, also any of the coal tar products in a pint of milk, is beneficial; also any of the coal tar products well diluted. A full pound of epom salts dissolved in two quarts of water to clean out the system is often advisable. A purgative is also beneficial in keeping the bowels open as animals often become constipated after an attack of indigestion -C I Birmes in Industrial Best in School's Existence! six miles through rain, sheet and know to attend meetings of the board in its first days. Prot. Shelton French, the acting president, who is to succeed Prof. Vernon during the latter's term as registrar, is a Kentuckyan by birth, born March 6th, 1666, and coming to Kansas in 1871. He finished high school in Parsons, Kansas, and also attended Hobson Institute, besides taking a commercial course at Wichita. He was president of the Lawyers' State association of Missouri for years and principal of the Solola schools for nine years. He has taught school practically all his life and grew up in the educational work. He is a gentleman of culture and refinement, and stands high with the people of the community in which he lives. He is a man of high reputation and was delegate to the general conference in 1904, having been a continuous worker since childhood. The board of trustees of Western University on behalf the state and also of the church elected him as acting president, while retaining Prof. Vernon as president, with temporary leave of absence. Mr. French will have entire control of the institution and will do much to keep upon that high plane of success which W. U. has reached within the past few years. The intention of the faculty and board of trustees is to educate more mechanics than there have been heretofore. There are now several taking tailoring, carpentry and other mechanical studies, which will fit them for competition in the business world in the next few years. We would be glad to see more students on the farm, in the stone quarries, etc., than in the Normal department. What we need now is more mechanics and carpenters among the people. Bishop Grant made a few interesting remarks concerning the progress of the race, after which Prof. French was introduced; he assured the faculty and people that they would have nothing to regret having made him acting president, and that he would do all in his power to continue the work so far advanced. Prof. J. Will Jackson of Kansas City. Mo was the speaker of the day, and he gave the students some timely advice, which if taken will do them a world of good. After Prof Vernon had delivered the diplomas to the graduates, he addressed the audience, saying that he was grateful for the support he had received from his many friends and that while he was absent he would still keep in close touch with Quindaro and her work and would do everything in his power to increase the progress, that he was only going to Washington to sign money for Uncle Sam, for which honor he was deeply grateful after struggling for existence at great odds only to be continually struck at, and then to have this reward. That it was a source of pleasure to him to be able to be in a position where he could do much for his race. That he bore no mahce toward his enemies but that he would like to reward his friends. That the false and venomous stories circulated to injure his standing as a scholar and leader have only made him more determined to stand for the upbuilding of his race. He said that those who stated that he was opposed to mixed schools or did anything to separate them, spoke falsely. For that he did all he could to have laws enforced equally for all Rev. J. C. C. Owens and wife of Pacblo, Colo., attended the commencement exercises and presented Mrs Wassom, instructress in science, several specimens of stones. Mr. Howard Barnett of Lawrence, one of the oldest trustees of the university and a wealthy farmer, was present. Mr and Mrs W. W. Fisher, of this city, were present, the guests of President and Mrs. Vernon, Rev. Edwards, Miss Sara Roberta, Miss Mary Harris of Topeka were in attendance, also Lawyer and Mrs. W. L. Jamson, who were guests of Judge and Mrs. Bradley. H. G. Wilson of Sedalia was also present, also Dr. J. S. Johnson, pastor of the A. M. L. church, Sacramento, California, stopped over en route to Wilberforce, Ins Alma Water, where he always attends the annual commencements. Rev. E Arlington Wilson and wife of Kansas City were among the visitors It is certainly a rare treat to hear the music furnished by the choral society, under direction of Prof. Jackson, instructor in music Miss Guy, the renowned soprano, rendered several beautiful colors. The five dollar gold piece given for oratory was won by Harry Brendle of Argentine, and the J.C. Lumbry prize given for scholarship was won by Miss Margaret Harris of Topeka. WOMEN AND POULTRY. In this age of independence the question most frequently asked is, "What can I do to earn some money?" or coming from the home woman it is rather "How can I earn some pocket money?" This does not necessarily cost any reflection on the husband or father, but is the natural thought of the industrious woman who feels that she ought to make every moment of her time count toward the supplying of the world's needs. It is the home loving woman who wants a few extra dollars to spend, perhaps on Christmas presents or to add more beauty in the way of attentive to her house. If she loved the association of her home less and could easily accept one of the agencies so temptingly offered or perhaps find a position in a manufacturing concern where so many women are employed. No it is home work that is wanted, something in which the whole family can take a part or at least become interested. This subject is so much Sunday newspapers have made it a department. Let the Inland Poultry Journal, writes a correspondent, tell what the chicken industry can do to furnish an ideal home employment. Those who have tried this work in a systematic manner have made it pry well. That is, taking it up not as a big speculation, with a large investment of time and money, but beginning in a small way and learning as they go along. Not only learning the nature of the fowl and what is most needed to bring the best results, but learning to love them and to feel the satisfaction of being able to minister to the wants of God's creatures. Now, let me show, if I may, some of the advantages of keeping hens for pleasure and profit on a town lot. From the woman who writes stories or paints pictures to the wife of the common laborer, there is a desire for something more in the way of home comforts than a dwelling of just four walls, and as a result we find the majority of homes with a lot attached. This can be easily utilized for a home for the chickens. I will not attempt to talk of breeds or incubators or even of sanitary houses but want first of all to enlist my sister woman in the homely and womanly pleasures of this work; and will therefore mention a few of the ways in which it can bring many dights into houses and homes. Oh, you say, I will all about that; it is the fresh eggs for breakfast." Yes, there is a pleasure in that far beyond my that can be enjoyed in the eating of the freshest of eggs bought from a grocer or even from our reliable farmer friend. There is a dignity amounting almost to astonishment in saying to your guests at table "do have another egg, this is the choice kind from my new Colonian Wyandotte." Then if your guests are at all disposed to be agreeable they will enter into a discussion of the charm attributes of different breeds to tell some nuancing story of personal experience and perhaps later in the day visit your poultry yard and admire your well kept hens. Then you must not forget the nice fried chicken for supper on the stuffy pillows on your paler couch that have been filled with rotted feathers from the market stock. O, there are endless ways in which the poultry yard can be made a delight. A hamper of fowl's sent to friends in a city will be more appreciated than a hand printed china cup, and a basket of fresh eggs sent to an invalid will be prized far beyond the regular market price. Then the poor whom "ye a ways have with you" can be given their Christmas dinner, and last but by no means least, do you not know some poor neglected boy to whom you can give a pair of clocks that will start him in the interesting work and fill his mind and time to the exclusion of vicarious companions. It is hard to imagine a boy who loves little chicks becoming a criminal later in life. And where we see girls so kind to then feathered pets that the chicks fly all over them at tending time we are not afraid that they will leave their own aspiring to the care of ignorant nursemaids while theyumble their time away in fashionable society. So much for the pleasures and with proper intelligent care the profit can be made just as sure. As we are considering this matter as a home employment for women and one that shall yield and income commensurate with the outlay, perhaps a lant on buying would not be out of place. In every city or town there are always those who for various reasons want to sell hema. The economical woman can sometimes find a few well bred fowls and perhaps a quantity of who feeding or a good portable chicken house quite cheap, which makes a better start in the business than the slower process of one hen and a setting of eggs or the more expensive plan of buying the fowls direct from a rancher. These are very homely tests not at all tinged with romance, but it is facts along the line of personal experience for which the Inland stands and seeks any reliable information to make the journal a useful as well as understanding manual. One more point in favor of chicken culture for profit, and that is the healthfulness of the work both for mind and body. We read and hear so much about nervous diseases among American woman. It is no wonder when we spend all our spare time in straining our eyes over an intimate point like pattern, or in reading educational novels. Let us turn to the study of animal life as presented to us by our feathered friends. Let our readers have more intelligent knowledge of poultry in general as given us in so interesting --- nale, and if for a day or recreation we could visit a big poultry plant, where the "blue blooded" fellows are strutting around in their magnificent quarters and the hens have the honor of laying eggs worth twenty-five cents apiece, then we will realize that we are in truth a part of the greatest money producing scheme of this country, and the change from our usual employment will do much to keep us in bodily health. We may of course have a bad attack of hen fever and may occasionally find our friends winking at each other when we become particularly eloquent regarding the fine qualities of our fowl, but it is a harmless hobby and if you can make it pay in as many ways as I have pointed out, you can afford to be magnanimous even to the furnishing of some proud amusement at your own expense. LIST YOUR PROPERTY WITH WILSON. The real estate firm of Charles A. Wilson has a new ady in THE PLAIN DEALER this week. This firm is building up one of the largest lists of farms for sale in the West and is adding new customers daily. Those who are in the market for a farm or ranch business will do well to write him at once. Their plan is new and is one of the best so far proposed for bringing buyer and seller together, being based upon the theory that where one man wants to sell there is sure to be another who wants to buy. The problem is to bring the buyer and seller together and this can be done by advertising the many farms and properties for sale in papers and in circulars. Our readers are urged to write this firm if they want to buy or sell a farm and get the plan for closing the deal. These plans are simple and predict and so inexpensive that they must surely appeal to anyone who wants to buy or sell. See adv. in this issue, and write Chas. A. Wilson, for list, 410 Kansas avenue.

FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1906. THERE seems to be a disposition on the part of some of the white Elks of this country to make trouble for the colored Elks. This is very foolish and unwise. The colored Elks are not asking to associate with their white brothers or to have anything to do with them, whatever, and that class of men who are kicking on the colored Elks are showing themselves very ignorant, to say the least. What will the American white man think of this? An American lieutenant of the regular army has married a Philipino, which race the whites claim is part Negro. It seems very hard for the Negro to keep the white man from mixing. Our American brother had better go to the Philippine Islands and look after their brothers there, or else amalgamation will reign supreme there at least. This is an amusing coincidence where a white man murries a colored woman for the second time, and now sues for divorce on the excuse that he has just recently discovered that she is a Negro. We would like to know if he has found any difference since he made the discovery. We are sorry to see white men pretentious in this matter when they have been loving colored women all their lives. He should not be granted a divorce, but should be made to live with this woman, who is as white as he, and who has better principles than he. Let him stick by the Negro wife, as his race is responsible for her existence. The shooting of Laura Wisdom, a colored woman, by Jennie Mitchell, a white girl, on account of jealousy of the attentions of one Boots Henderson a colored man, is very amusing. The tables room to have begun to turn, and the white girls are now sparring with the colored girls for the affections of the colored men. Vardaman and Tillman had better get busy or else there will be a general change of affairs in this country soon. The two women are notorious characters, and there is no consideration due them from any respectable people, white or black. We have always contended that degraded persons, whether white or black, should all be classed together, and placed in the same heap of dirt and hilt. The white newspapers try to make capital out of the word "white." Allow classes of people are on equality. The shooting of a colored girl by a white one does not evite The Private Dealer, for human nature is alike the world over, whether it be white, black, grizzly or gray. COMMENCEMENT CLOSES AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Monday evening of last week Rev. P.G. Steward, Chaplain of the Regular U. S. Army addressed the combined religious societies. Ilias subject, "Morality," was a literary classic which developed the progress of man's morals from the wild nomadic state, family, tribal, and so down to the present psychological and sociological conditions of the intermixed races. Rev. F. Jesse Peck of Allen Chapel and Bishop Grant, and a number of preceding elders accompanied Dr. Steward. Tuesday evening a great crowd was present to witness the Class Day exercises of the seniors. An instructive and highly entertaining program was rendered. Wednesday evening, the oratorical content for the gold medal drew a magnificent audience. The eight young men speakers were exceptionally good in thought, emulation and delivery, thus reflecting much credit upon their train- er, Prof. G. Arehle Gregg. Mr. Harry Lee Brand of Kansas City, Kan., won the coveted prize, while Charles Walker of Muskogee, I. T., was a very close second. The judges were W. W. Fisher and Rev. Edwards of Topeka, and Rev. J. C. Caldwell of St. Joseph. Thursday afternoon the 9th annual commencement exercises were held under a large tent erected upon the campus in front of Ward Hall. At 2:30 p. m. a long solmn procession fromed at the Trades Building and headed by the University Concert Band, Bishop Abram Grant and Rev. J. Will Jackson of Kansas City, Mo., the commencement orator, followed by the trustees, faculty, and the seniors arrayed in their black caps and gowns, marched to the place where the program was to be rendered. Seven young women and four young men were graduated from the normal and industrial departments of this institution. Obituaries were delivered by Miss Bessie H. Walthall of Hawatha, Kans., salutatorian; Miss Margaret Harris of Topeka, valdicktonan, and four other members of the graduating class. Interspersed musical numbers by the Choral Society added flavor to the occasion. About six hundred persons from the two Kansas Cities and elsewhere crowded the seats and made the gathering the largest and last in the history of the institution Rev. P. H. Vaughan, trainer for the speakers, deserves much credit for the excellent manner in which the orations were delivered. Miss Margaret Harris of Topeka not only lead the seniors in scholarship, but the entire school, thereby winning the I. C. Pincy prize for highest scholarship mark during the past nine months, with which she was duly rewarded by President Vernon Ray Jackson, in addressing the class, said in putt, "I am very certain that you have learned one thing during your student life in this University. You have learned that the preparation and continuance of existence is a struggle that preparation implies a constant continual conflict. It must be kept up incessantly if life is to be perpetuated. You have just finished a course of study here. You have a compliled much. You have wrought well. Don't stop here. You know the struggles you have had in your studies. You know the trials you have had. Some dropped out because they were discouraged. Some have stopped because of hard labor, but you stayed through and have made this one of the happiest of your life. Education is to enable you to conquer everything that comes within your sphere that threatens to impede your progress. God Almighty never put the black man in this world without having a high purpose for him. Don't go out believing that you have no place in the world. There is a place for you. We, as a race, are going to stay right here in America with the white man and work out our own salvation and uplift. Don't be ashamed to work. Don't be ashamed to do with your hands what your mother has done. Never will there be a generation that will do as much to develop a race, that will excel the generation in which your dear mother lived. Don't think you know more than your mother. Don't call your father an "old fogy." You know more than they may in some things, but in the school or practical education they are far ahead of you. In the school at once they tower far above you. "You will have to meet life's struggles and compare them if you are to succeed in this world. Don't be ashamed to work. If you cannot find a place for which you are prepared, take hold of a plow. Go to work with your hands and whatever you need to do, do that well. All hard people (rich or poor) are a cause to the world. Do what your hinds find to do. Let the people know that you were educated in Western University. There is a place for you just as there is a place for all honest, educated people." After the address by Rev Jackson, Bishop Grant and President Vernon in introduced Prot. Shelton French, the new Acting President, who is to fill the vacancy made by President Vernon's indelible leave of absence at Washington, D.C. The farewell address by President Vernon and the inspection of the exhibits of the handiwork of students later occupied the attention of the vast throng. A farewell reception in the evening closed the greatest years work in the history of "Greater Western University." The entire old faculty was reelected, the students and teachers have gone for the summer's vacation. President and Mrs. Vernon departed for Washington, D.C. Sunday evening. The inquisitive watchmen keep the lonely guard, and only the silent, vacant buildings now remain to mark the spot where toll and study, mirth and music reigned supreme but a few short days before, where centers the hope of a rising, restless, reaching race of high aspiring western Negro young men and women, who not being content with being down are fairly bursting up from environments of poverty, ignorance and a cruel race prejudice.

Following the students' part of the program, the annual address was delivered by Doctor Allen of Jefferson City. He said among other things: "What I plead for today is the wiler, poller and more useful service which the educated negro ought to give to the less fortunate of their race. They ought to be the most conservative and dispassionate man we have. No negro ought to be too much educated to not love his race and to make a sacrifice for it.

The officers, members and friends are elated over Your Life Current. The power that gives you life and motion is the nerve force, or nerve fluid, located in the nerve cells of the brain, and sent out through the nerves to the various organs. If you are tired, nervous, irritable, cannot sleep; have headache, feel stuffy, dull and melancholy, or have neuralgia, rheumatism, backache, periodical pains, indigestion, dyspepsia, stomach trouble, or the kidneys and liver are inactive, your life-current is weak. Power-producing fuel is needed; something to increase nerve energy—strengthen the nerves. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is the fuel you need. It feeds the nerves, produces nerve force, and restores vitality. "When I began taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills I was confined to my bed and I had severe nervous spasms.

In Ellioth's time and earlier bedstands were imposing creations of oak, richly carved in all manner of quaint devices with, perhaps, grinning satyr porring from behind pillar, sufficiently griecesque to render the slumbers of the most competent. Those were the days, too, heavy gilten hangings, valances and quilts, all richly embroidered in all and in and silver thread with heavy built in hinges to add weight and mass. Such tees may be seen some of the valuable collections the museums and at English country seats, such as Wick castle and other notable old places.

Commencement Exercises Held at High School Prominent Men Are Present Present During the Exercises Latest story for the betterment of the war and in last night at the commencement exercises of the Hartlett high school where boys and four girls received their diplomas. The auditorium of the white high school where the pro- gram was was filled All of the scholars, including both the graduates and educators of years of experience, saw the thought of the program of the professor close attention. That the hands should be educated as well as the mind and heart seemed to be the general motif and kind words were said to the industrial department of the Burlington high school which is assuming importance in more ways than one. Booker I. Washington, president of the Institution, recently made a visit to Joseph on the purpose of encouraging the work here and the outlook is consistent particularly bright at the time. Negro Educator Here Another educator of note of the negro race, Benjamin Franklin Allen, L. L. D. president of Lincoln institute of defection City, the great gro institution of learning in Missouri and one of the biggest in the country was the guest of Sense last night and delivered the annual address. Every one of the graduates spoke and all of their essays and opinions showed, in the common of those present that much thought had been devoted to the composition. Questions of special interest to the race were chosen by the Students, which made the interest untwenty minutes from 7:30 o'clock until 11:30 o'clock in honor remained. Singing a Feature.

A subject which attracted much attention was that of "The Soil, the Rage." This was by Arthur Garrison Hollow. The cultivation of the soil is an important study at the Bartlett school a ten acre farm made from plots of ground in the city, being devoted to this department. That every person has his place was held by Garturde Ferol Wheeler, who spoke on "Each His Lull," and she told of just where the members of the race best fitted. Education of Mind "The Inuit Man Uplifted" was an essay by Ziehlle Vaughn Gordon, who spoke of the joy experienced from the education of the mind and soul as well as the body. "The Joy of Being One Self," was one of the most orations of the evening, delivered by Rufus Presston Deshares. The good which comes from music was described by Sarah Elizabeth Jackson, who spoke on "Music a Beautiful Art," and the "Power of Personality" was an occasion by Hammah Horace Wilson, which showed much thought in preparation "Some Practical Hints" was an essay containing much good advice. It was by Callie Jordan Wynne, who was also the valedictorian. I following the students' part of the program, the annual address was delivered by Doctor Allen, of Jefferson City, He still among other things. What I plead for today is the wider, more and more useful service which the educated negro ought to give to the less fortunate of their race. They ought to be the most conservative and dissipative men we have. No negro ought to be too much educated to not love his race and to make a service for it. It one is to be ready for this new and progressive age, and to make the world better for his having lived in it, he must make the most of life in all its ways in moral culture, in moral discipline and in economical and industrial collections. 'Don't permit your individuality to be submixed and become simply an unknown atom in the great mass of humanity. "We want to show that superior training will make superior ingress of Non-Americans of us and not poor limitations of white people. We shall never be able to appreciate our own worth as a race as long as we believe that everything that is good is white and that everything that is bad is black. Higher Plane Than Idleness. 'Like to be worth living must be plotted on a higher plane than that of illness and unimputed pleasures.' planned on a higher plane than that of illness and unanticipated pleasures. "It is no disgrace to be poor, but it is very disgraceable and inconvenient. A man's poverty may not always mean that he is a failure. It may mean that he has paid his honest debts. But as a rule it means that he is a poor manager and has failed thus far to solve the problem of wealth in the arithmetic of life. "This must learn that virtue is power and courage and wisdom and joy and bliss." After the presentation of diplomas by Mr Wilson talks were made by Mr. Spattt and Mr. Whiteford, then followed thru awarding of prizes and medals by Principal N. C.

Pains beneath the heart, pains below the shoulder blades, palpitation and flattening of the heart are caused most frequently by worms. Swollen ankles, restless and startling dreams are also symptoms of parasite action. Pains across the small of the back and soreness above the hips are symptoms of tape worms. Some tape worms produce a tenuous appetite, while others destroy appetite. An individual can possess a tape worm for four years and have no positive knowledge of it. Tickling sensations in the throat, producing a huckling cough, itching piles and ulcerated piles are produced by pin worms and ascarius Povema is caused by microbes.

Until March it has been the universal practice among our cremeries to pay a uniform price for butter fat in cream a garden of age or any other condition. The success of the so-called contriving cremeries is depended upon then getting a large volume of business, and I think it not too much to say that they have all overlooked some matters that have just lately been discovered to be vital. It is no secret that they have received some cream two weeks old, or that was otherwise or small value for outer making purposes, and that be cause the factory at a distance would take and pay for this kind of cream the local plant has integrated that they, too, must receive this kind of stuff. The fact result has been that farmers have been educated to believe that anything in the shape of cream was plenty good enough, and that they ought, as a matter 'right and justice to receive for their son, null decomposed cream the same price that is paid for that which is sweet and clean and best. The fact of the matter is that an increasing number of producers of cream have been receiving a premium of tom or five cents a pound for the bad cream. Now that the creamery operator has awakened to the fact that he can't long pay more for cream than it is worth, he must it hard to convert these people. He has been asking them if it has special skill and his improved appraisal enables him to make good butter out of mighty poor cream, a thing which no one in possibly do, and we have mighty little sympathy for him in his present troubles. But in order to save our reputation as a butter making state, as well as the reason that our pockets are the ones by the old system, we'll all have to back him up from now on, because his new system or grading cream is the right system and will lead to the production of better cream and better butter and better returns to the farmer for his improved product. There is no process known to secrete turtle buttermakers which enthuse them to make good butter out of bad cream. There have been a good many people who said they could do it and some or them really thought they could, but they have all lost money trying. Now they propose to make good butter out of good cream, fat butter out of fair cream, and poor butter out of poor cream, and to pay for it accordingly. That's fair. Last summer most of the constellation pats in little as four cents under New York market for butter fat, and they took all kinds at the same rate. Now the man who sends the best cream gets two cents under the market, or more than he did before. That is to say, herefore, the patter who turn-hair, good cream got two cents less than it was worth, when two cents was given to the follow who sent the bad cream as an inducement to him to keep on eating that and so on. The patter with cream, sweet cream was fined two cents on every pound of butter fat because he had taken prizes to send clean, sweet, high testing cream, and the slowly individual got a bonus of two cents a pound for being slovenly. If the grading of cream is strictly carried out it will mean an increase in the real value of the creamy butter of the state because, instead of the inducement being to the man who sends poor cream, the inducement will be to the man who sends good cream, and naturally there will be more and more of the better cream instead of the reverse. There is every reason of business policy and justice why cream should be graded and paid for according to its value for buttermaking purposes. The grades established by the larger creamies may not be the best, but they are probably as practicable as can be established so long as the cream is purchased as it is now by local agents. It is possible that some misunderstanding may arise from the advertise- ments that are sent out representing that the testing at the plant of the advertiser is done under the supervision of the state dairy commissioner. The undersigned has nothing to do with the testing at any creamery of this state except that it would be his duty to prosecute a creamery operator who was found to be using incorrect apparatus or who might be manipulating the test. He is further required to furnish standards for calibrating the glassware in use at the creameries when requested to do so. Further than this he has nothing to do with the manner or means of testing at the creameries of this state. The general assembly this winter passed a law providing a penalty for the creamer operator who receives an wholesome cream or makes the same into butter. Electrofoil the penalty applied only to the man who sold the unwholesome cream, now it applies to seller and buyer alike. If this law can be efficiently enforced it will enlist every creamer operator in the effort to get better cream and better butter and more money for his nations. The grading of cream is right as a business proposition; it is right as a means of raising the quality and increasing the reputation of our buttery it is right as a matter of justice to the seller of the cream, the buyer of it and the innocent purchaser of the butter made from it, because it makes for better butter worth more value to every man that handles it, including the purchaser who pays for it. It is most possible input has been in the dirty business of this state of making of paying a uniform price of cream and butter. When each of these products is sold on the basis of its quality, not only will the quality improve but the values will be greatly increased and the products will give the satisfaction in their respective markets.—By H.

Certain people have strange notions about the production of milk and two processes it goes through with the cow from the raw food to the finished milk, says Hlonda & Duttyman. Some, and they are not so few as one might think, suppose that the fat in the milk is the same as the fat in the food. We have heard man repeatedly use it that corn was a good butter food because it contains so much oil. The truth is that butterfat is unlucky any other fat in existence. In the mysterious alchemy of the mother's digestion she is able to transform fats, starches and protoids into a fat unlike any fat found in the food she eats. It should be remembered always that she makes milk for her offspring. She produces a mixture of fat, sugar, nitrogen, ash and distilled water for infant digestion, the most delicate of all digestions. It is that very fact that makes milk and all its solids so valuable as a food for man. It is the only food mature especially papyrus for the sustenance of infant life. It is from this idea that the fat in the milk is the same as the fat in the food, that his fed men to think they could feed fat directly into the milk. It has also led manufacturers to think they could create some substitute for butter out of other animal and vegetable fats that would serve the same purpose as butterfat in digestion. None of these things me true, possibly, if we understood this secret of the cow better, we would treat her with better judgment and care and so save better our object to make larger portions from her. It is extremely difficult to convince man who have lived with cows all their lives that they do not thoroughly understand them. Yet it remains true, that because a cow is a mother, she is but little understood by man. Maybe this is the reason why women make the most successful managers of cows. It will prove a blessed day for the cow and a most fortunate one for the cookbook of the owner when he gives up his unfounded notions of this mother and determines to study her and her husband in the light of sustaining truth.
