He created a scene by de’ nouncing Crimtnat Judge 8. ff. Weaver from the scaffold. He declared that the judge had granted a habesso orpus to John Williams, a white man from snother conaty, but when it came to his own case, 3 citizen of this county, the court went fisbing. Fletcher said that “going Gshing” was given a9 au excuse for the judge to leave town to avoid granting him a habeas cor- pus, We are glad this man had courage enough to denounce a judge who carries malice in his heart forthe Negro, and who did not act fair, A« he had granted hab- eas corpus to the white man he should have granted the same writ to this colored man, We hope an evil spirit will haunt the every foot: step of Judge Weaver, for his pre. judice and unfair action in thie cane, and that he will never enjoy a lappy moment thereet of his days. As soon ae the Southern judges learn to give the colored people fair and just trials, according to liw, there will be a fast condensation of civili vationin the South. Thia wae one of the most contemptible outrager ever heard of, committed by : julge, and the fret one to be de- nounced by a man with werds fron dying lips. John M. Wilkerson Brings Home a Bride!

A. Woods, Pastor. NOTICE. To the colored people of Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama and other southern states. We are in receipt of a communication from Mr. W. 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. KENIS SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 13. For the submission of a proposition to amend section 9, article 3, of the constitution.

It is earnestly desired that every church and fraternal society in the United States composed of negroes take part in celebrating the day upon which the race was emancipated. Delegates from all such bodies should be sent to the August meeting, and every member of a negro church or fraternal society in the United States should deem it an honor to be in St. Louis on the day of the celebration, if possible, and if not to do something to advance the progress of the movement. The names of all delegates or others who may be rehed upon to attend the August convention or the September celebration should be promptly forwarded to Robert Price, chairman of the Committee on Credentials, 1325 Chestnut Street, St. Louis, in order that the enrollment may be speedily and properly made up.

RED BIRD. I. T. Editor of The Plaindealer: I see that your paper speaks of every place but the garden spot of the United States for the colored man or negro. Red Bird, L. T., is the place for all intelligent negroes. Others not looked for, as the town must be built before we can get a jail now, as the time has come when the negro must act. We ask him to come to Red Bird, T. T., where he can go on the farm and be independent, come in town on Saturday and trade his produce or exchange it with his brother, go to the bank and transact his own business, go to the postoffice and see negro postmasters and clerks. Everything is done by our own race, good schools run by negroes, look over the minutes and you can see in them something for my son and daughter to do instead of running the streets or stalking on the corner, or say she is going to Mrs. So and so's house am innate, she wants to see her when the girl knows at the same time she is going to meet some water headed dude that could not buy her a tare, much less three meals a day. The young girls should not look at such punheads. We have something else to look after for the man who talks in the soil and does not look like he has just come out of a banana. When you get a town dude you will have to go in the wash tub from Monday morning until Saturday night, and when he knows you have drawn your money he will put in his appearance for it. Now, mothers, try and get the boys and girls on the farm and come to Red Bird. The people here want to see something of Red Bird spoke of in your paper. S. E. HOLTON. TOPEKA, KANSAS.

A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dunderschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the piles had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. Whe leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.

Published at Topeka, Shawnee county, Ks. very Friday morning by THE PLAINDEALER PUBLISHING CO. 1128 EAST SEVENTH STREET. Entered at the post office at, Tepena as second class mail matter. FRIDAY, AUG. 17, 1906. The article which appeared in the columns of THE PLAINDEALER of July 27th under the heading of Kansas City, Kans. News, reflects upon the officers and members of Eilesta Chapter, O. E. S, and was an injustice and a serious mistake. It was not published with any intent to reflect any discredit upon this order, which is composed of some of the best women that walk under the sun. And this is one of the best Chapters in the jurisdiction of Kansas. The party who sent this article to us for publication without a signature, acted cowardly. The matter should not have appeared in the paper, and THE PLAINDEALER owes an apology to the said Chapter, and will be more careful in the future.

The Masonic Grand Lodge of Missouri convened in its fortyth annual session at Kansas City last Wednesday morning. This was the largest gathering of Masons since the organization of the Grand Lodge. Over 300 representatives were present besides past masters and past grand officers. The sessions were held in the Christian church, the Masonic temple being inscribed for such large numbers. Grand Master C. J. Williams is an excellent presiding officer, fair in his rulings, and means business from start to finish. So progressive are the Masons of Missouri that they have purchased a $1,000 home for disabled and infirm Masons. The property is located near Booneville, and consists of eight acres of land and a 14 room house. The Widows' and Orphans' Fund has increased from $9000 to $18,000 per year at $4 per capita. The following grand officers were elected; G.M, C.J. Williams, D. G.M., T.A. Jordan; Sr. G.W. Lewis Routt; Jr. G.W., G.C. Kimbrough; G. Treas, R. T. Cole; G.

Simpson, was heartily portrayed by her, "Solomon and Queen of Shaba," by Lawyer Green and Mrs. M. Wilson was very realistic. The queen looked well in her green robe, "Queen Esther," by Mrs. L. Green, was very pretty also the waltz song, "Diboros," by Mrs. M. Y. Matthews, with its many difficult runs, was loudly enforced, but she did not respond. Mrs. Morritt Evans sang a pretty contralto solo.

He was born in or near the town of Hammondville, Cass County, Mo. He was a slave and at the outbreak of the war enlisted in the First Kansas Colored Infantry, and served until the close of the war. He may have went by the name of Rhine or McAfee, having been owned by both slave holders and therefore used both names. Any information concerning him or any expense incurred in doing so will be paid by his son, Mr. L. E. GIDEON, Brocton Massachusetts or 392 West Falton Street, Chicago, Ill. This is his son, who is the owner and originator of Gideon's Refined Negro Minstrels. He is very anxious to learn the whereabouts of his father, and we hope all who read this article, especially the old timers, will give this careful consideration and investigate to the fullest extent. Mr. Gideon's son is a gentleman of refinement, culture and wealth. He is one of the leading showmen of the country, carrying thirty people and has been for years. He and his mother would profit considerable if they could locate him. We carry one of the finest lines of Undertaking goods in Topeka. PUBLICATION NOTICE.
