A Thriving Little City Where Many Enterprising Colored People are Prospering. Great is Excelsior Springs and her resorts. The healing of the nation is in the water and baths. These Springs are located thirty miles northeast of Kansas City, in a beautiful valley surrounded by hills covered with shrubbery of all kinds. This little city is beautifully laid out with paved streets, fine pavilions, hotels, club houses and bath houses. Springs of all kinds. When a person's system is run down and out of sorts, take a trip to these Springs, try a few baths and youth and vigor resumes the place where nature intended. This city of five thousand population has from fifteen to twenty thousands in the summer, about five hundred of whom are colored. They are very industrious, buying homes and attending to business. The Albany Hotel owned and controlled by Mr. and Mrs. Stanford W. King, is centrally located, modern and up-to-date. This hotel building with the new brick addition will make about twenty rooms, and two store rooms. There is not a hotel in Excelsior Springs that can excel the new Albany in neatness,furniture or service. The colored people should feel elated over such fine accommodations. The rates are from $5 to $7 per week with special arrangements for baths. Mr. King is an old resident of the Springs, having lived there for the past 20 years and is worth a ten thousand dollars. He operates the only successful tailoring and repair shop in the town. Associated with him is W. B. Kennedy who is instructor in the Tailoring department at Western University. He is spending his vacation assisting Mr. King. The Dunbar literary society is the pride of the people of Excelsior. Mr. King, the president, takes great pride in its success. He composed a poem to Paul Lawrence Dunbar after his death which the society prizes highly. Another business just opened up is the Cottage restaurant, Mrs. Jennie Hill and T. M. Marsh, proprietors. Cold drinks and lunch counter in connection. Mr. Marshall has lived in this city for ten years or more and is connected with one of the largest bath houses in the city. He has saved money and bought a nice home. We met our friend, E. M. Pratt who is still with Mr. Kilbery. He and his family are doing well and he contemplates putting in a laundry soon. We were proud to meet J. M. Reed and wife who owns a fine bath house and doing a good business. E. A. Woods, a progressive young man will be our agent and all those who wish too contribute news or subscribe, can see him. We met H. Wilson who has lived there for twenty five years and owns a beautiful cottage. Pref. L. W. Johnson who has taught school for eight years past, is a bachelor and owns plenty of good TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1906. property. He is a highly respected gentleman whom the ladies might get to change his opinion. We were glad to meet R. A. Payne one of the old subscribers to the PLAINDEALER. He is doing well and making money. We were more than pleased with our trip to the Springs and sorry we had not gone sooner. We are glad the colored people are making such a good showing. There are several large bath houses owned by Negroes, in fact they have proven to be real experts in giving massages. The bath houses are operated by husband and wife, the wife having control of the ladies department and employing M. several colored ladies who are experts at the business. They treat and relieve almost any kind of a complaint. The most successful parties in the business are W. A.

NEGRO FARMERS MEET AT GROVES' CENTER J. G. Groves, the Great Potato King Welcomes the Sunflower State Agriculturists at Their First Meeting----Many Interesting Papers Were Read and Discussed. The first annual meeting of the Sunflower State Agriculturists was held last Saturday at Groves Center, Edwardsville, Kans., in the beautiful park on the farm of J. G. Groves. The meeting was called to order by the president, C. A. Groves, with Miss Ida May Groves, secretary. The president introduced Mr. J. G. Groves, who, in a few remarks made everyone to feel at home. He said "While we have no paved streets or six story buildings, street cars or theatres for you to gaze upon or enjoy, yet we have the green fields of potatoes, alfalfa, corn, and our loaded orchards of fruits and plenty of good, free air, which you may enjoy, and it will not cost you a cent. We welcome you to this free soil owned by colored people for miles around. We welcome you to a place where you can get an idea of making a living out the soil. Nothing pleases me more than to welcome you to these field of growing crops. Brain and muscle thrive from working the soil. An orchard is a school of Nature—something to be learned all the time. If you would come from the city where it is congested into the country where you can be free and make a living, we would progress more rapidly. No people can be independent who cannot house clothes and feed themselves. The statistical report shows OLD FOLKS' HOM The Executive board of the State Baptist association met in Top ka last week, Rev. E. Arlington Wilson president, Revs. D E. Overr, Van Lue, McNeal, Fishback and others constituting the committee who are looking around for a good location for the old folks' Home, which was OLD FOLKS' HOME FOR TOPEKA! The Executive board of the State Baptist association met in Topka last week, Rev. E. Arlington Wilson president, Revs. D. E. Overr, Van Lue, McNeal, Fishback and others constituting the committee who are looking around for a good location for the old folks' Home, which was any other city in the state. Also this is a beautiful and healthy part of the country, and from an intellectual, moral and financial standpoint there is no equal to Topeka in Kansas. Progressive colored people in business, farmers, mechanics, etc., will do much towards assisting the 1920. PRESIDENT E. ARLINGTON WILSON inaugurated by the Baptist convention at Coffeyville last year. They are to buy from 80 to 160 acres of land and will locate close to Topeka. This is the best location for this institution, as it is the capital city and more church people have business in Topeka during the year than in that 82 per cent of the colored people live in the city. At this point a baby's cries attracted attention, and Mr. Groves said: "Pay no attention to the babies; there are plenty of them around." (There is no doubt of the baby population, as Mr. Groves himself is the father of twelve children.) He said that the teachers should visit the farms and learn what is needed to make people happy and prosperous. He welcomed the visitors to the homes of the prosperous farmers and assured them that not one of them would have to visit a butcher shop or grocery before they could prepare a meal. "One of the objects of this organization is to teach the girls not to put so much stress on white shirts and rubber collars, but on bank accounts and industrious young men." He was roundly applauded. Mrs. Gleed of Kansas City, Kan. responded to the welcome address in a few eloquent remarks, saying that while the city had no thriving farms or growing fields of products to which to welcome you, we have several nice homes and we assure you will be equally as welcome. She complimented the people upon the wonderful progress they had made and wished them continued success. The president explained the several sections of the constitution. Other exercises on the program ME FOR TOPEKA! any other city in the state. Also this is a beautiful and healthy part of the country, and from an intellectual, moral and financial standpoint there is no equal to Topeka in Kansas. Progressive colored people in business, farmers, mechanics, etc., will do much towards assisting the church to maintain this worthy cause. If there is anything the church should do, it is to provide for its old and decrepit members. The Baptist church has taken the lead in this matter and deserves great commendation. were as follows: Miss Perle Jones, attorney-at-law with her father in Hill City, read a paper on "Negroes Developing Western Kansas;" and was interrupted several times by applause. The people had never heard so much of the true facts of Western Kansas until this talented young lawyer made known to them the true status of that locality. I wish to address myself to the people, whom I think would be most benefitted in coming to Western Kansas. There are four classes who should be especially interested in a country of this kind: First, renters of land; second, young men who are reaching their majority and find the old homestead too small for their labor; third, farmers who have homes encumbered and had better dispose of their equity than try to redeem, and fourth, men of means who would like to operate a horse or cattle ranch. We want men of sober, industrious habits, men who love independence and a home of their own, even though it be ever so humble; men who would rather be lord and monarch of a sod house and 160 acres of land than to be the lucky driver of an eastern noble's shining carriage. These classes of men not only can but will succeed. You can build a home in this western land and be comfortable free and independent—build schools and churches where no man dare molest or harm you. Since the emancipation thousands, yes millions of acres of United States lands were subject to settlement under the United States Homestead law, which gives each person over twenty-one years of age 160 acres of land, and the same amount under the timber culture and the Pre emption act. This land lay idle for years, and few colored people availed themselves of the opportunity to take any of it. But through foreign immigration a vast wilderness on the American continent has been changed from gloomy untrodden forests, dismal camps and pathless prisons, into the shade of a high civilization. Pertile farms, blooming gardens and comfortable homes have arisen from regions where formally savage men and wild animals were the sole tenants. The Nineteenth century has seen a mighty emigration from the European countries more stupendous than anything that happened in ancient times, and it has gone on quietly that few people realize its vast proportions. The United States has been looked upon as a land of promise where industry would reap the reward of food, raiment and comfort. This thought started a stream of emigration which rose like a rippling brook and increased as it advanced until it became a mighty river. This vast concourse of people rented not in towns and large cities upon their arrival, but matched bravely out to lands that had never felt the plow and to forests unmarked by the ax, and there by patient toil proceeded to enrich themselves and the nation under whose industrial drug they had enlisted. What makes the program these engineers made seem more miraculous, is the fact that these people knew nothing at all about farming, but were trained mechanics—so if these people operated farms alright, you who are skilled in the art of agriculture should at least do as well, if not better. The Negro is a part and parcel of this great commonwealth and the part he should play in developing these western lands in the same that his white brother plays. You should take advantage of every opportunity that offers itself to better your condition. Be not like NONTINUED ON PAGE 4 NUMBER 26. A Colored Preacher Declark the N'egro Keeps it Down-He States Some Facts. "The South is more than 200 years behind the times, "declared the Rev. D. E Butler, pastor of St. Mark's African Methodist Episcopal church, after a trip through many of the Southern states, winding up at Louisville, where he addressed the Historical and Literary Congress of the African Methodist Episcopal church. "Sanitation and drainage is almost a lost chord in the music of her well being, while on all sides she looks a thing of pity and despair. There is no denying the fact the Negro in the South is retarding the progress of the South, but it is not his fault, he can not help it. "Political supremacy and social equality of the Negroes of the South is a topic of discussion at the dining table by the white man down there and haunts him in his dreams. The paradise part of America is practically forgotten and allowed to 'ruin out at the heel,' while he chase this fleeting phantom day an night. A few leaders may flatteringly smooth things over for the sake of expediency, but the great bulk of Negroes see in their whil oppressors only a low standard of man, and as men seldom rise higher than their standards, and unless the nation intervenes, there is hope neither for the Southern Negro in the South. "The Negro in the South must moralized, socialized and educated or also the South must continue to back yard of this country to share of the nation. The talk to Negroes down there must work on his own destiny is simply 'tom ferry.' Booker T. Washington, Wilberforce university, and eight nine other schools are doing a great work for the uplifting and developing of the Negroes in this country but the great birth rate from wilt and the best of the industrial social tide from without, make great mass, when viewed, appugly and deformed. For the sake this humble race of blacks are decaying and dissolving Southland the entire nation should be interested. Congress should vide for an educational commission consisting equally of whites blacks, whose duty it would be establish at least a dozen institutes on the Booker T. Washington plum different parts of the county North as well as South, giving each of these five to ten square miles surrounding territory and forcing them by annual appropriation turning whatever might accrue a government endowment. These institutions should be regulated so that the Negro entering it follow the bent of his own mind, be compelled to master some t. The hundreds of 'vags' in our cities, the backwoods idler and field leaver should be compelled the point of individual liberty take their medicine until they themselves men. These institu would soon be the centers of lous colonies of thrift and indogrowing wider and stronger, adding to the glory of the race the permanency and progress nation." The Rev. Mr. Butler is found the Freedman's Fraternal Faction, operating in the Northern Western states along moral industrial and employmental TO THE PUBLIC. Hutchinson, Kas. June 17, 004 DEAR SIR:—Will you please publ lish this letter? To whom it may concern: At Onaga, Kansas, I was tried and convicted of a charge of which I am innocent. At Onaga, Mr. Ed. Jones and I were to go to Atchison, Kas. He sends me with a horse and he goes by rail. About half way, at Whiting, I was arrested for having a stolen horse. In the meantime, Mr. Jones goes to St. Louis with a car of horses. I was taken back to Onaga, tried, and convicted of having a stolen horse, and sent to the State Reformatory. Since that time Mr. Jones has come back to St. Joseph, Mo., and communicates with me. He states who and how he came to get this horse, and he says a certain man, living at Onaga, Kas., gave him money to hire me to take the horse to Atchison, of which I am doing time for and am innocent.

The members of the Negro Pair Association at Higginville, Mo, have been meeting continuously and making arrangements for the production of the fair which will be some time in the month of August. The days have not yet been ascertained. The vice president, Mr. Leo L. Brutt, and assistant treasurer, Mr. Clayton Williams, with the other members at Higginsville are preparing for a great fair. Mr. James L. Washington, the "Bus Tubalion Prodigy" age 18 years, preached here last Wednesday evening, June 20. Although a young minister he interested his congregation very nicely. Progress is the law of nature. In order to fully appreciate the progress which the Negro has made since his emancipation, a few facts regarding his earlier history must be considered. For over two hundred and fifty years before the famous edict of freedom went forth on Junny the first, eighteen hundred sixty-three, the colored man had been worked like dumb, driven at the, and crushed with no iron hoof of oppression. He, whipped and torn, bleeding in body, mind and soul, day after day, year after year, had toiled, grouted, and wept; yet there had been no hope of reward to lighten his burdens. He had no wife, no children, no altar, no home, no motive, no aspiration. His notions of God, even among his preachers, were crude. Very few of those who tried to preach could read or write. They were compelled to accept what their owners told them. Yet, in spite of dense ignorance and hindering influences they felt the attiving soul reach out to God, and gave expression to those emotions with intense religious fervor. In the southern states laws prohibited the impartation of instruction to the Negroes. They did everything in their power to keep the colored people ignorant. Some even wished that they might be able to extinguish capacity of Endeavor, then, to combine the whole in one view—to take in the full idea of this mighty mass of evil, in all the suffering of mind and body which it inflicts, in all its brutalizing effects and demonizing tendencies on the slave—the miety which it entails on man—and the guilt which it incurs in the sight of food; then you will have some conception or the multiplied and horrifying ends of slavery—calls which were imbued by the freedman. Thus he willed forth on that famous man, out from the tomb of his living and torturing death, with absolutely nothing in his hands, his head, his heart, or his pocket. In this condition he want forth to try his fortunes in a new world. However, the colored people were not content to remain in this wretched condition. They saw that he future of the race was in their own hands, and that they must care their own for tunes. They asked for justice and equality and set about working out their destiny. Today, this race, after so few years of freedom has made progress such as history no where else records. Although much remains to be done, yet today we find the Negro recognized as a man, filling important and honorable positions throughout the lands greatly improved and exalted in his home life; recognizing that he has a part to do in the elevation of his race; aiming at the highest success and determined to stand among the best citizens and the most useful members of society. He is determined that there shall be no better schools than his, no greater statesmen, no more successful business men, none better known in the professional life, no better, more moral, upright or righteous people than his own. Compare his former with his present life, and the fact that the Negro is rapidly rising and progressing will dawn at once upon the most skeptical minds. To estimate fairly the moral improvement of the colored people, it would be necessary to realize, if possible, the depth of degredation to which two and a half centuries of thralldom had sunk them, and to remember that the moral nature of men everywhere and among all people is by far the most difficult to train. How many times within the last two decades has this nation had to hang its head in shame because of the immoralities of its public men? Examples of such are the Credit Mobilier, the Whiskey Rings, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Standard Oil and recent Insurance Frauds. When one considers, by what process, during more than two centuries, the morals of the colored people have been corrupted, it is no wonder that some of them are immoral. The greater wonder is that their moral perception has not been entirely swept away. Many people, however, do not seem to realize that slave was a school ill-advised to the production of pure and upright characters. They require developed among the colored people in forty years a state of moral rectitude which themselves, with more reasonable opportunities, have not realized in many times that many years. Nevertheless they are making rapid progress along this line, no people in the same length of time have made further advancement in moral and Christian chat actet. The colored people have not always had a tan chance in this country; but in proportion to to opportunities they can show as many good, virtuous, law abiding citizens as any other race of people. Consider the progress when they have made in the state of Georgia alone. In 1805 there was scarcely a home in the whole state owned by a colored man. In 1870 they could be easily counted. Now there is taxable property of some twenty millions of dollars. What is true of Georgia is true of other states. It is frequently assetted that the Negro has no genius or skill. The colored people of the Union have received patents for more than sixty useful inventions. This shows that they possess both, and the opportunities now presented and in the development and training of that genius. Along the line of education they have advanced rapidly. They have one hundred and sixty-two institutions to secondary and higher education, while twenty-seven thousand and teachers are employed. In the professions they host of many able lawyers, physicians and well educated nurses. In the nineteenth world they have started their own banks, the largest of which is the Two Retainer's bank of Risa and, Vigna We have produced state men, all of whom were scholars men, such as Douglas Brace, Elliot, and White, that who have claimed audiences with their cloquence, such as Pace, Bowery, Mason, and Derrick, educators, who have done so much for their race, as Pane, Mitchell, Page, and the great apostle of industrialism, Booker T. Washington. Other distinguished colored people are Vince Givens and Flora Batson, the song birds; Woods, the electrician; Dubos, the scholar; Taylor, the musician; Ira Aldridge, the tragedian; Embry, the theologian; Tanner, the painter; and Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the immortalized poet. We are to be tested in our patience, our fobearance, our perseverance, our power to endure wrong, to withstand temptations, to economize, to acquire and use skill; and in our ability to compete, to disregard the superficial for the real, to be great and yet small, high and yet the servant of all In the the best things were rising, in farming, trade, and literature, A people enterprising the churches, schools and home life pure— tell to the world we're rising. A PEOPLE WITHOUT TA COUNTRY. As we read of the crudities of the laws in Russia, we turn our eyes to America and review the history of the Negro. The history of the two races run parallel. We can not mute amath nation of people without a country to which they can appeal for justice in time of trouble. The Negro was brought to this country in 1619 by Dutch traders and sold as a slave. The Jew came of his own free will in 1674. The prejudice against the Jew at that time was as great as that of the Negro of today. Finally they overcame this prejudice and now we see them among the leading educators and financiers of America. It was not until 1600 that a law was enacted establishing the existing slavery in the colonies. The labor of the slave was highly prized and his ser- Proclamation Pursuant to Section 1, Article S of Grand Court Constitution Page 12 which requires the Grand Court of I. O. O.

R. of D. vices in time of war were not only accepted but were demanded. We, the Negroes, have no country to which we can appeal for redress of our wrongs; we are subject to countries to which we pledge, our allegiance. But though we have no country, we may yet become a great people. It is ordained by Omnipotence that "Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands to tool." This decree is founded on the meaningable principles of tool and no earthly power on annual time. Hinduism may be placed in the way as they have been to retard the inevitable, there may be must actiments to nullify the natural rights of the N. but they will not permanently impede his progress. The lesson we must learn from the law is presentation and patience. The law has been as bylal to the land of his adoption is the other. Both have made a great showing for then postponements, but it is to the young rite we must turn our attention. The first generation of the Negro after emancipation showed a spirit of dependence, an inclination to lean on something or somebody. The spirit of dependence is characteristic of weakness and is not to be wondered at that the Negro emerging from slavery should possess this quality. There is considerable ignorance on the part of the white people of today of the intellectual ability of the Negro, and as a consequence, the Negro does not receive any of the whites that respectful consideration to which his education on titles him. He can not enjoy in this country like the Anglo Saxon, the privileges guaranteed him by the constitution. Yet since emancipation his manner of adapting himself to the different conditions is astonishing. He is now beginning to look about himself and with a degree of seriousness to study himself and try to find out his possible habits and the obstructions that lie in the way of his advancement. No oppression however great can turn him for the sake that he has taken to attain his purpose. The success of the last thirty years gives great hope that he has increased in wealth, in intelligence and in moral culture. But though thirty years of light have wrought great wonder for the Negro, although his progress has caused the wonder of the world, it is impossible for him to total blot out in so short a time the syllabus for which he was not wholly responsible. It took England a generation to grow an Amel at Rugby. It took France several to produce a teacher whose reputation wills with the world. It took the Civil war to make Grant. But is the Negro to remain in this country a distance and separate race? Bishop La Il Holey says, "I contend that the Negro is as capable by nature to reach the American type of civilization as the white man but I can not see that it is possible while he lives in immediate contact with the whites." Booker Washington says in speaking of the race problem, "When the white TOPEKA, KAS., JUNE 5, '00. 1, Article S of Grand Court which requires the Grand Court of some time and place as the Grand Pythias, and whereas, the Grand is issued his Proclamation con- Knights of Pythias on the 24th clock a. m.

But if the race problem is to be solved, it must be solved by the combined efforts of the intelligent elements of both races. Individuals may lose hope but the race will never. We do not ask for social equality, we only ask for the opportunity to show what we can do for ourselves. A people can not be educated and crushed at the same time. No race ever achieved distinction or greatness without hardships. The Nato in his struggle for education, for retirement, and for honest property, will all the more quickly rise to the might of his abilities, and in this way break down all barriers and help to be come a great and useful people The time is rapidly approaching when in this civilization and Christianity the Negro will not be looked upon with reproach and contempt. True merit will yet mark the man. And may it be that the Negro may supply in the future American race, the very elements have seen.

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 no inexpensive that they, must surely appeal to anyone who wants to buy or sell. See adv. in this issue, and write Chau. A.

Welliford Will Bring Report from Preacher Once a Month—Back to Jail if .He .Backslides. D. J. Wellford, a man who has been arrested times without number and fined for being drunk, was released without fine by Police Judge Urmy yesterday afternoon upon the condition that he join church. The court will require him to bring a letter from the pastor once each month. Wellford's wife is a Methodist and he will probably enter by that door into the fold. So far as importance goes, which is the first step toward information, according to the majority of the church church, Wellford can pass. He cried yesterday afternoon and promised the court that he would never again get drunk. He has done this before and Judge Urmy paid very little attention to his repentance until he made the proposition to join a church and attend regularly with his wife. The court took him up on his own offer and released him pending him making good his word. Wellfleet is 50 years of age and during the past ten years has worked out over $500 in fines for drunkenness. He has broke rock for sixty-five days since last September. Aside from his inability to handle liquor without making himself conspicuous, he has never been in any trouble of any sort with the officers. He is a capable man in every other respect, so far as the officers know. The last time he was in the city prison on a chunk charge was on April 6. He plead very hard that time and was released without a fine. Monday evening he met with friends and got too much of the joy that faded out with their foam. He was fighting with two men at the Rock Island depot when Patrolman Hendricks ran across him and he insisted upon making the officer a third opponent. HUJ1CHINSON, KANSAS. Mrs. M.

The prairies are covered with short buf- falo grasa which is very nutritious for pastures and {s the only grass on which cattle can feed the whole year round. The low lands and canons are covered with ‘blue stem" which iscut for winter use. The Diue stem hay and buffalo grasr together withthe abundance of mil- let, cane and kaffir-corn renders the country one of admirable adaptation to stock raising. It is something rare to ecea farmer who hae not a herd of cattle ora drove of horses. Agriculture may not be the sole dependence of the family. The farmer who ix without his thrifty flock of chickens ie considered a back number indeed. Many famlics are supported handsomely just from butter and egge alone and in addi- tion to these every farmer hasa small garden patch which supplies the family with vegetables. With abundance of wheat and corn for bread plenty of vegetiy'es from the gaiden, milk and butter, eggs and poultry, and bees and pork tocat, and also a ero together With afew head of horses, cattle and hugs to eell, iteecans to me that the greater portion of man’s wants should at leaut Le vatistied, There i« another advantage in western Kansas. This can be dem- onstrated by reference to my own county. Graham county wasorgin- ized in 1880, At that time there was 4 colony of colored people lo pated in the following townships, viz; Nicodemus, Wild Horse and Hill City, By reason of their po itical strength and being bona fid¢ larmers, the first county clerk wasa olored man, and the second county lerk was a colorea man, and from hat be was made wtate auditor, The olored peopla held the office of dia- trict clerk for thirteen yesrs; the fice of county commissioner was 1eld by a colored man for eight pears,and he wae for three years shalrman of the board. We have held the office of county attorney for six years. The office of city attorney was for five years filled by a colored man. The township of Nicodemus has always been governed hy colored people, all of the township officers being colored, In my city colored men are direct- ore in banks ond other business con- cera, 80 you see that you not only benefit yourself financially by com- ing wert, Lut you increave your po- litical standing, I hove vou each ace the eld of FoR PUPULR PUL UY ACCC ALAC ALLS KO.

But since I have learned te realize that there !s good money In the raising of poultry, as well ne pleasure, I gradually increared my stock of fowls, after finding that there was great demand fut epring chickens, especially for cartier chickens than I could depend upon getting from the hens. I then con: cluded to purchase a small inculn. tor, holding one hundred eggs, ao that Tmight have chickens hatched asearly ae I desired. Why I pur chased a small incubator to begin with is because had I not made a success with it, I would not have been at a great lose on the ineuba— tor, ‘Lhe first hatch with this fn~ eubstor, and my first experience with the same was fifty eight chick- ens from eighty eggs, the balance of the eggs which made the one hundred were unfertile, The sec- ond hatch wae more nuccesaful than the firetone, After 1 saw thatl wae having better success every time with the incubator, I tried others, I havesince ased two more, each being of a larger oapacity than the frat one I purchased. One of these was a 150-egg incubator and the other 200, each of the three be- ing of different makes. Of the two large incubatora one bas given ae much success as the other. Some advantages I find of the in- cubator over the hens, There are no hens to break the eggs, no leav- ing of nests, no fussing over nests, and when chickens are hatched they are not eaposed to lice or mites, aa when hatched by hens, and there are reseral other reasons of advan— tage which could be mentioned, | If proper attention is given to the instructions of operating an ins cabater, and using good eggs, suc) cers will follow, Most any inew. bator will hatch a good per cent of chickens, ifinstructions areew fu ly followed. Poor selecting of cys. i$ sometimes yirtly the cure uf jour sucecss of hatches. I have often heard people complain of poor hitches and they think that the in. culator was at fault, but from my experience I think not. In eelect- ing eggs, I try and get medium. sized, smooth eggs, Chickens will hatch from poor eggs, but they will be weakly and stand poor chance of living, because the eggs have been eclected from some weak stock Selecting eggs from strong, vigor. ous fowls mikes chickens stron, and healthy. My experience in operating incu Datora has been nite a sucecer, After the eggs have been in the in eubator 42 hours they are then tak. en out, turned and aired; this ts done twice a day, mo ning and evening, a half hour's tine for each airing, if weather will permits this depenas on the temperature of the weather, When opening the incu: Vator to remove egys for airing, the incubator door is left entirely open, allowing the interior of the incuba, tor to air the same as the eggs, driving out all odors that may have arisen from any bad egg that may have been in the incubator. It fu not necessary for the tem+ perature in the encubator to run higher than 104 degrees atany thme; there is more danger in over heating than in getting teo cold, The last week of incubation the eggs sre tarned every three hours; it is im- possible to turn the eggs too much. My experience of this ie that turcing the eggs often will prevent chickens being deformed when hatched, and the more the egge are turned the larger per cent of hatch, When turning them eo often, it is not necessary to take the egg tray entirely out of the incubator, half way will be sufficient, Thie ie lees trouble, and saves more time, The most important thing I find in op. erating an incubator is the turning and airing of the eggs promptly. The last week of incubation the temperature in the incubator is apt to run three or four degrees higher; the cause of this is the animal heat in the eggs. To prevent overheat: ing the eggs the lamp is turned very low: Two testinga of the egy are made, the first taking place on the tenth day and the other on the tif teenth diy, Why Iimade two teat. ings is because at the fliet test some eggs will appear all right, but between the 15th and the Isth day rome chickens die inthe shell, In mahing the recom! testall chickons dead in the stell are tiken out of the incubrtoi, if they are Jeft in they will be the ciuse of the good egga not receiving proper tempera, ture because they are cold and de- stroy part of the temperature which the goed eggs should receive, caua- ing the temperature to run lower} Ree BS SUOUIG BE Ths Period OF in: cubation, On the eighteenth day afterthe incubator has been set eggs are moistened. I have used uifferent things in molstening eggs, but find that my last plan Is more successful aut also simple, taking a softtowel, put in water as warm as the hands can bear, wringing it hall dry and spreading it over the eggs, letting It remain in the incubator over the eggs five minutes. This allows the muieture to evaporate in the interior of the incubator. I have had better hatches and success thie year than ever before. The first hatch this year was 135 chickens from 160 eggs, Feb’y 27th. The second hatch was 140 chickens from 160 eggs, I have now remaining from the second hatch £22 chickens, My experience in the ra sing of chickens hatched by incuuator ts that they are not fed unui they are 24 bours old; there is mure aanger ofover feeding than nut feeding enough. It makes no d ference bow much thevare fed it they are allowed to have plenty of exercise. Young chickens are subject to bowel trouble when first hatched, especial- ly those hatched by incubator, caused first by letting the temperature ron too high during the time ofincuba- tion; over add improper feeding is another cause, and many other causes too numerous to mention. My rem- edy for bowel trouble is to feed something very dry: I first feed hard-boiled eggs, stale, light bread crumbs and @ portion of grain con- taining kafie corn, wheat and millet seed. I keep plenty of grit, c ar- coal and parched egg before them; after they area week old I feed them vegetables. euch ae onions and cab- bage chopped fine and a little meat mixed with the same Cleanliness ts essential to health among poultry. but this fall I expect to begin t» raise some thoroughbreds wih my past experience and what I expect. learn in the fature, I now feel that it will be profitable for we to invest more money in poultry, which I intend to do in the near future. Mrs. M D Steemer of Edwards-| ville gave her experience in raising the yellow Jegs, She raise} 400 chickens from nine hens s nce Febru ary. She says that young chickens and turkeya should be cared for the same as a young child. Three minutes’ talk by the farmers: J. B: Rice of Frankfort, one of the most prosperous farmers {n Marshall county, owns 240 acres of land, and isa member of the organization. He gave some instruction on corp raising; also the raising of cattle and hoge. Heeaid he was surprised to find a0 many prosperous colored peo- ple around Edwardsville. Mr, John Carson of Douglass county, who owne 240 acres of good Jand, well-atocked, close tu Law- rence, is well up on farming and cat- tle raising. His remarks were effect- ive, and many profited thereby. A.A. Hultz, who owns 120 acres in Leavenworth county, stocked with cattle, hege, growing crop of wheat and corn, who isa member of this Organization and owes no man, talked on the future events of the coming young Negro. Ed. S, Harvey read a paper ou the necessity of attending other farm organizations, giving those present new thoughts anda stronger deter~ mination to strengthen the agricul- turist, Mr. Harvey owns and culti- vates I30 acres at Sibley, Kans. He jam young man without a wife, and there is no more industrious or suc- cessful farmer in the county than young Harvey. “What I baow about Kansas Farm- ers,” by Nick Chiles of Taz Prain~ beater, “ The Part Afro-Americans Should Play inthe Development of Western Kansas,” by P.

We visitors can never forget the ‘eastot Belshazzar” of the farms, The good women of Lilwardsville know how to prepate go .d food and how to serve it and all who attended the banquet were entirely satisfied. P reparations were made for both townsmen and countrymen, and eev- eral baskets of iragments were left, Too much praise cannot be given the peopte of Edwardsville for the progress which this organization hae made, Everybody who is a farmer should join the Sunflower Agciculturists and find employment on the farm for the boys.

A Scandal in Williams Williams and Walker big show which is running a seven week's turn at the Great Northern in Chicago, struck a snag last Wednesday night which came near wrecking the popular bark, and it is alleged that the fascinating charms of a pretty chorus girl are at the bottom of it. When the curtains raised last Wednesday evening, at the usual hour, to begin the exhibition of Abyssinian customs to a full house of Chicago's theatre-goers, George W. Walker, the star character, and pretty Mattie Hopkins were nowhere to be seen among the players. By splicing and hooking the manager was able to go on with the performance, it is said, by putting on the second act first. After a time Mr. Walker, blowing and pushing from over haste in locomotion to reach the stage, came in, closely followed by the beautiful 'Varinoe' of the stage. Mr. Walker and his belated co worker in the big show could give no satisfactory explanation of their whereabouts during the twilight moments, and Mr. Walker's pretty little wife began to philosophy. She, the real star of the play and a universal favorite, said nothing and played her part through the whole performance with all her wanton vividness and sweetness. She would not talk and Walker was worried. Thursday morning, without ceremony or clay-trap, Mrs. Walker packed her trunks and left for her home in New York, with the understanding, it is claimed, that she is through with both her handsome hubby and his big show. In the meantime all the girls connected with the Williams and Walker show held a conference, and declared in a chorus that they would play no more in that show unless Miss Mattie Hopkins was then and there driven from the stage.

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

Ringswald, who remarried Ellen Ringswald, after having been divorced from her, has filed suit for a divorce on the ground that he has discovered that she has African blood in her veins. Mrs. Ringswald's defense is that she may not be white, but she is "neither Negro nor a mulatto." Her plea is based on Bouvier's definition of a Negro, which says that a Negro is "a black man." He says that it has been distinctly held that the term does not include a mulatto. Ringswald's attorneys will quote from the Standard dictionary that "a Negro is a person having one-sixteenth or more of African blood." : APainless Cure of Curable Pain APainless Cure of Curable Pain Never resign yourself to suffer pain.

I thought I would write a few lines to the Pharaoh due in regards to the need of people for I can see the need of writing them up, not to discourage them but to wake them up to their sense of duty. Our people are becoming less valuable than any other nationality under the kingdom of heaven, and it is because they don't recognize the Almighty God who delivered them from slave bondage and set them free so that they might go and serve him and do his will. It was by the prayers of our mothers and fathers who offered up humble sacrifice unto God and asked Him, saying if they never lived to see the day of freedom to let their children live to see it. And God heard their prayers with many other white people's prayers. But today most of the young race calls the old people fogy, that is to say, they don't know anything, but I find out by reading and hearing that we are the worst hated race among all of the races on account of some of our conducts, and we are all blamed for it. We are not all guilty for what others of us do, but the good and the bad are all classed together, which makes it hard on all of us and the cause of this is because we have forgotten our Creator, and unless we will quit trying to patronize and represent the white race God will suffer them to mop us up in less than a hundred years from now and there will not be one left to tell the tale. They don't want us to repent them, neither do they give us any credit for doing so and God is not pleased for us to follow them; but he set us free so that we might go and serve Him. The children of Israel which were in bondage was a type of our bondage and God delivered them to go and serve Him, but they murmured against God because he had delivered them from their taskmasters, and they wanted to go back to Egypt and God said not any of them should reach the promised land, and he caused every one of them to perish in the wilderness but Caleb and Joshua and it will be the same with us. The migrants are always saying that we won't stick together, but I find by dealing with them that they are always trying to hold up one another. They never try to beat the white man, because they know if they are caught in the set they will be beaten to death or shot down like a dog or tied to the stake and burned. I am very much obliged to you for printing my wants in the Plaindealer and I had an answer from three men that talked like they wanted something of the kind, but when I wrote them the particulars which meant business, two of them I heard no more from and the other one had an excuse. I had a little dealing with one of your citizens down at Topaka, whose name is Mr. Thomas Wood. I owed him one dollar and a half and another friend of mine owed him four dollars. He left the four dollars for me to col- ket for him and send it to you, which I did so with the dollar and a half which I owed him. He owed me two dollars for storage. He will he was tired of paying the white people his money and would just as soon pay for a black person. He refused to say that two dollars while I could have the five and one half dollar and paid myself out of that if I had not thought he was a gentleman, and that is what they call sticking together. I am very well satisfied by what the good says and I know his word will not fail. Whatever a man soweth he shall sow, it he sowes will he shall reap and it he sow good he shall reap good. Please find enclosed a ci on the National bank of Commer dollar and fifty-five cents (A155). It would have sent it sooner but shipped my memory as I have been very busy. Please send me a copy when you advertise this. Yours P. N.—I hope you will not fail to publish this as it will be a great benefit to those that will read this and consider what I say and God will give them an understanding, and you, Mr. Cates, consider it yourself and stop following your enemies and follow God. For all of pleased God when we were in lodge and our taskmaster a who had us in bondage if they had of been alright in the sight of God and we were right in the sight of God and with them there would have been no cause for God to deliver us from under them, but God was not well pleased with them, neither was he pleased by the way they were leading us. So he delivered us so that we might follow him instead of following them. There may be some that will make light of my prophecy, but my prophecy has never failed. I could tell you of things which I prophesied for and against here in Dodge City that have come to pass with some of the worst of our sins here both black and white. I spoke of this to you so that you can get your eyes open and you may not think this is a puff of wind but is something that is coming to pass, and it will be on you before you know it.
