THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. A SQUARE DEAL FOR THE TWENTY-FIFTH BOYS! VOLUME VIII. In Springfield and G AN INTERESTING DOCUMENT! History of the Battle of Osawatomie Written by John Brown Himself. LAWRENCE, KANS. Aug 25.—In looking over the papers of his father the late B. W. Woodward, Mr. B. Woodward found the other day a most valuable and interesting letter. It is a history of the battle of Osawatomie, written by John Brown himself on the 7th of September, just a little more than a week after the battle. The letter has never before been published, so far as is known, and just now it will be of more than usual interest. The battle occurred August 30th, just fifty years ago. On the margin of the letter is written, "A statement written by Captain Brown, of Osawatomie, concerning the late battle in that place," which shows the name of Osawatomie was as hard to spell then as it is now. The statement of John Brown is as follows, the orthography and punctuation as Brown wrote them. The writing is very plain and the manuscript well preserved: "Early in the morning of 30th Aug '50 the enemy's scouts approached Osawatomie from the West within one mile & a half. At this place my son Fred R (who was not attacked to my force) had lodged with some four other young men from Lawrence & a young man, Mr Garrison, from Middle Creek. The scouts led by a pro slavery preacher named White, shot my son dead in the road while he supposed them to be friends (by what I can learn). At the same time they butchered Mr. Garrison and badly mangled one of the young men from Lawrence who came with my son, leaving him for dead. This was not far from Sunrise. I had stopped over eight 24 miles off & about One mile from Osawatomie. I had no organized force with me, but had some 12 to 15 new racuites with me who were called to leave preparing their breakfast & follow me. As I had no means of known (correctly) the force of the enemy I placed 12 of these recruits in a log house hoping we might be able to defend the town. I then gathered up some fifteen more scattering men who had guns & startad in the direction of the enemy. After going a few rods I could see the enemy approaching the town in line of battle about one half mile off on a hill West of the village. I then gave up all idea of doing more than to anoy them from the timber near the town which was filled with thick undergrowth; but A SQUARE DEAL TWEN SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Aug. 25. Three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry recently stationed at Fort Brown arrived in San Antonio to-night on their way to Fort Reno, Ok. They brought thirteen prisoners who are charged with having been involved in the assault on Brookeville citizens in which one man was killed and one man was seriously injured. The prisoners were met at the station by a detachment of the Fifth cavalry and taken to the Fort Sam Houston prison to be held awaiting trial. Early today a detachment of cavalry appeared at Fort Sam Houston from the instruction camp at Austin where all the troops stationed here have been at practice. This detachment is to act as guard for the prisoners. The United States attorney here, C. C. Loynton, has been instructed to prepare the defense of the prisoners and he will begin at once by asking a change of venue from the court in Brownsville. We are glad to know that the soldiers will get proper protection and a fair trial. They had a perfect TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. AUG. 31. 1906 had no time to recall the 12 men placed in the log house & so lost their assistance in the fight. At the point above named I met with Capt. Cline a very active young man, who had with him some 12 or 15 mounted men & persuaded him to go with me & the scattering men I had with me into the timber; on the South shore of the Osage or Meidzen a little to the North West of the village. Here the men numbering not over thirty in all were directed to scatter & secrete themselves as well as they could, & await the approach of the enemy. This was done in full view of the enemy who saw the whole movement & had to be done with the utmost haste. I believe Capt. Cline and some of his men were not even dismounted in the fight, but can not say positively. THE FIRING COMMENCY. "When the left wing of the enemy had approached to within common rifle shot we commenced firing; & very soon threw the Northern branch of the enemy's line into disorder. This continued some 15 or 20 minutes which gave us an uncommon opportunity to anoy them. Capt. Cline & men soon got out of ammunition; & retired across the river. After the enemy rallied we kept up our fire until by the leaving of one & another we had dwindled down to Seven or Eight. We then retired across the river; & hid ourselves or left for a distance. We had one man killed from Capt Clines Co in the fight; a Mr. Powers. One of my men, a Mr. Partridge was killed in crossing the river. Two or three of the thirty who took part in the fight are yet missing; & may be lost or prisoners. Two were wounded in the fight vis. Dr Updge graff & a Mr. Collins. I cannot speak in too high terms of them & of many others I have not now time to name. "I with one of my best men were each struck by a partially spent shot from the enemy in the commencement of the fight; but are only bruised. The one I mention is one of the missing men. The loss of the enemy as we learn by all the different statements of their own, as well as our own people; was some 31 or 32 killed & from 40 to 50 wounded. After burning the town to ashes & killing a Mr Williams they had taken; whom neither party claimed; they took a hasty leave; carrying off their dead piled in 3 wagons. They did not attempt to cross the river to search for us; and have not since returned to look over their work. "I give this in great haste; & in the midst of constant interruptions. My 2nd son was with me in the fight & got off unharmed with me in the fight & got off. This I mention for the benefit of my friends. Old preacher White I hear boasts of having killed my son. Of course he is a Lion. "Lawrence, K. T. Sept 1830." their comrades who was in jail and was threatened with lynching by the hoodlums of Brownville. There is no evidence to convict these thirteen men. All is guess work by a few Negro-haters of Texas. Elder Ransom Has Made Good! Presiding Elder J. R. Ransom returned Tuesday from Southern Kansas where he had been winding up his affairs preparatory for meeting the annual conference which convened Sept. 20th to 31st at Hutchinson. Elder Ransom is one of the oldest and best men in the Kansas Conference. He knows how to keep the people around to a sense of duty. The People on Ransom's circuit nearly all of them own their homes, and the financial end of the church never fail to show up as good as any in the Conference. "Get homes, own property" has always been Rev. Ransom's luth city, and by the way, it is pretty good religion as can be seen by the prosperous condition of the churches in Southern Kansas. For nearly thirty years the writer has been closely allied with the people of that section of the state, and we can say without fear of successful contradiction that Elder Ransom is the best liked man by white and colored people that ever provided in that district. --- There has never been such a gathering of Masons and their friends as was at Atchison last week, at the twentieth annual session of Royal Arch Masons which convened Monday. Reports from the various Chapters showed an increase in numbers, and several Chapters have been added. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: C E Lette, Grand High Priest; A C Clark, Deputy Grand High Priest; D F Mallory, Grand King; L W Whitehead, Grand Scribe; F M Stonestreet, Grand Treasurer; Tom Brown. Grand High Priest, Eugene Lett, has done much in the past year by adding new Chapters. The Grand Commandery convened in its thirteenth annual session on 1. A. M. WILSON, P. G. M. Tuesday, and the reports showed that G. E. Chinueth did considerable work in the past year by adding new Commanderles. After the regular routine of work and reports of committees the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Sir C. C. James, of Mt. Oread, No. 4, Lawrence, G. C.; Sir R. C. Clark, Kansas City, D. G. C.; Sir Richard Hightower, Topeka, G. Gelsmo.; Sir Robt. E. Smith, Wichita, G. C. Gen Sir L. W. Whitehead of Yale G. P.; Sir R. J. Smith, Leavenworth, G. T.; Sir Thos. Brown, G. R. Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Kansas and jurisdiction was opened Wednesday morning, Right Worshipful Grand Master, A. M. Wilson, presiding. The call of the Lodges showed sixty-five in good standing, who answered to the call of old Prince Hall. All of the grand officers were present and the reports showed that all had been at work during the past year for the upbuilding of the craft. This session was one of the most harmonious and pleasant ones ever held, from every standpoint. Over $3,000 collected In the W. and O. fund. Secretary Woods of that department made a complete and entirely satisfactory report of the funds. Right here it is necessary to refer to the special ceremonies conducted earlier in the day. Morning Star No 4 and Atchison No 63 had selected Prof. W. E. Gray to deliver the address of welcome. Prof Gray was introduced by the Grand Master, and in exquisite language, extended a most cordial welcome to the Masons of Kansas to the homes of Atchison. It was an eloquent address and was well received. On behalf the Grand Lodge, Worshipful G. H. M. Collins, Grand Junior steward, responded. Everyone had waited with bated breath for the response, knowing that it required some one with ability as a ready talker and quick thinker to respond to so able an address. Those who had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Collins address were captivated. These two speeches were the talk of the Grand Lodge, and the names of W. E. Gray and Milton Collins will live long in the memory of those who attended the Slet annual session of Prince Hall Grard Lodge. The annual address of Grand Master Wilson was a masterpiece of work and showed that he had given the craft great thought and care during the past year. His recommendations were all good, and most of them were adopted. Had it not been for his leaving the state, he would have been re-elected. Resolutions commending him and his good work and expressing regret at his departure from Kansas, were passed by a unanimous standing vote. Over 28 deaths during the year were reported; money enough to pay all claims, and a fair sized balance on hand. Over four hundred dollars reported to pay to widows. Sixty five orphans and blind and decrepit Masons. This is known as the Pension Bureau, which the Grand Lodge established a few years ago, and it is a success as well as a benefit. The annual election of officers for subordinate Lodges is changed to June, on or before the 29th. One of the most important moves made by the Grand Lodge was the appointment of a committee on Masonic Home. For several years there has been a request for such a home coming in from the Heroines of Jericho, but up to this time nothing had been done. After careful consideration, the Grand Master appointed S. P. Hawkins of Topeka, O Davis of Kansas City, W. M. Woods of Winfield, and C. C. Officer of Paxico a special committee to meet the ladies of the court. A special invitation will be extended to the Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star, Miss Jennie Moore, 10 to be with the committee which will meet at M. and O. hann Kansas City, Kansas, September 17th The following grant owners were elected for the opening year A W.

Monroe, Cust. W. and O. Fund. The election for Grand Master was very interesting. After the contest narrowed to two, four ballots were taken before the contest was settled. The entire business of the Grand Lodge was over by ten o'clock Friday morning. Everything was like clock work. After the closing of the session the grand officers and members paraded the principal streets of Atchison by invitation of the two subordinate Lodges of that city. Headed by Prof. Dardis' Military band of 28 pieces; which is destined to be the finest band in the West, and followed by the crack drill team of Cyrene Commandery under Capt. Gen. William Reynolds, which executed open movements for the edification of the great throng of people eager to see them. There were several past eminent commanders and grand officers in line. Credit is due the local committee. C. E. Lett, C. C. Potter, T. T. Brown and Dr. Grant Brown for business and the dignified way and manner of handling the Grand Lodge and the entertainment of visitors and members. The people of Archison, both white and colored, did all that was necessary to make it comfortable for all. Fraternal greetings from the Grand Lodge of Missouri were borne by Dr. M. O. Ricketts of St. Joseph, and gave Prince Hall greater energy to do more. The doctor told of the good work Missouri Masons are doing and how much respect and confidence they have for the Masons of Kansas. It made them all feel proud of the good work they are carrying on. Hon. A. M. Thomas responded to the greetings, assuring them of the loyalty of Kansas Masons to those of Missouri, and congratulating them upon having such an illustrious messenger as Dr. Ricketts. The next place of meeting will be Parsons, Kansas. Past Grand Masters D. A Jones and S. G. Watkins were present and materially aided in the work. It is to be hoped that there will be very little politics next year—the craft will fare better. The picnic at Forest park on Friday and the drill at night by Cyrene Commandery were both grand affairs. There were over two thousand people in that beautiful park, one of the finest in the West. If you want an outing, go to Forest Park, Atchison. No intoxication of any kind allowed OLATHE NEGROES ARE SOLVING THE PROBLEM! --- We made our first visit to Olathe last Saturday. Town full of people to see Wallace's circus. This is a busy little town, full of happy, prosperous people. A beautiful park with court house in the centre. About 250 colored people reside here, almost all of whom work in the town and a large number work in Kansas City, only 20 miles away. Nearly all of them own their homes, in fact, nearly all of the industrial classes are striving to have something. We were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. F Botts, one of the leading families of Olathe, Mr. Botts has the contract for the mails to and from the railroad stations. They own several pieces of valuable property and can stand a rainy day. Mrs. Botts is a lady of culture and high attamments and one of Olathe's most substantial citizens. Our correspondent, Mrs W, R Rollins, and husband own a beautiful home and are among the leading people. Mr. Rollins holds the front chair in the finest and best barber shop in the town, owned by Mr J W. Williams, who come to Olathe in 1864: he is quite wealthy, and a widower with no children. Mr. J, W. Jenkins, the janitor of the court house and caretaker of the park, is a progressive young man Continued on Page 101 ROH She is Doomed SPRINGFIELD'S AWFUL CRIME! Like Sodom and Gomorroh She is Doomed for Her Cursedness. All hail to the name of the two white men who stood out for the conviction of Gailbreth, the Springfield mob leader, plugugly, thug and murderer. There is no doubt of his guilt, and the the names of the gentlemen who stood for law and decency will go down in history as being honest and brave men, and goodness and mercy will attend them all the days of their lives. The ten lieing Judasen who betrayed their oath are unworthy of recognition among decent people. When men become so low as to swear to uphold the law and at the same time connive with the lawless element, ought to be drove out of the community. The state's attorney made a plain and open case, yet he could not secure a conviction for the simple reason that the victims were colored men. Had they been white men, all of Springfield would be at swords point. Over one thousand men were summoned, and twelve could not be found who thought murder in the first degree was right in this case, and in order to secure a conviction, the attorney for the state was compelled to lower the charge to second degree murder. This is a clear case of cummedness and a disgrace to the good citizens of Springfield who have to foot the bills. If such men continue to dominate in that county as were on the jury and those summoned who could not give a fair verdict save and except two, Lord have mercy on Springfield, for the wrath of the Almighty will wreak vengeance upon them some day to even up for the crimes committed. Lake Sodom and Gomarah, Springfield is doomed on account of the acts of her bad citizens. NICK CURTES.

Lewis, the barber, has bought himself a fine five-room cottage in the last few weeks and will continue to get hold of Mother earth. He is at the Williams shop. Mr. John Baker is another progressive citizen who owns property and is making money. He is janitor of the leading church of the town. We were glad to meet Miss Lida Crump, one of the leading industrious young ladies of the place. She is a graduate of the schools of Olathe, and is an applicant for a position as schoolteacher. She would do justice in any school room. There are a few successful farmers in the county There ought to be more The Republicans predict a clean sweep in the court house this fall. John R.

The ten being Judges who betrayed them oath are unworthy of recognition among decent people. When men become so low as to swear to uphold the law and at the same time connive with the lawless element, ought to be drove out of the community. The state's attorney made a plain and open case, yet he could not secure a conviction for the simple reason that the victims were colored men. Had they been white men, all of Springfield would be at swords point. Over one thousand men were summonsed, and twelve could not be found who thought murder in the first degree was right in this case, and in order to secure a conviction, the attorney for the state was compelled to lower the charge to second degree murder. This is a clear case of uselessness and a disgrace to the good citizens of Springfield who have to foot the bills. If such men continue to dominate in that county as were on the jury and those summonsed who could not give a fair verdict save and except two, Lord have mercy on Springfield, for the wrath of the Almighty will weak vengeance upon them some day to even up for the crimes committed. Like Sodom and Gomrah, Springfield is doomed on account of the acts of her bad citizens. who owns good property and is making history for the young colored man to live by. W. M. Lewis, the barber, has bought himself a fine five-room cottage in the last few weeks and will continue to get hold of Mother earth. He is at the Williams shop. Mr. John Baker is another progressive citizen who owns property and is making money. He is janitor of the leading church of the town. We were glad to meet Miss Lida Crump, one of the leading industrious young ladies of the place. She is a graduate of the schools of O'rahe, and is an applicant for a position as schoolteacher. She would do justice in any school room. There are a few successful farmers in the county. There ought to be more. The Republican presidet clean sheep in the court house this fall. John R. Thorne can candidate for county attorney is one of the best camganners we ever saw, make my vote all the time. He is a graduate of the law department of the state university. H. Hancock, clerk of the District court is a candidate for re election, is popular and wins friends. Hoscoe Smith, county clerk, is a candidate for re election and cannot be beaten. He is a fine gentleman and has a host of friends.

Have you ever seen a negro picture on the wall of a white school? When will the negro teachers stop placing all over their school rooms the pictures of white people? When will you have that love for the few great men of your race to hang their pictures on your school walls and point them out to your girls and boys as criticisms! Ask your school some day who the following people are and see how few if any can tell you what they did to have their names placed among the few pro mortal names that were not born to day: Murton R. Delaney, Robert Small and brother, Antonio Mino, Louisaint D'Uvertine, Alexander Dumis, Phillis Wheatly, Crispus Attucks, Chris Chestnut Henry Lannard. These pictures would do honor to any negro school and they can all be gotten, so why should we play on well with pictures of the other race and hit the men of our own go without honor? Who is to honor the negro, if not the negro? There are not all, I can give you more. I believe white people would think more of us if we would honor our own people more. OMAHA, NEB Mrs. M.

EDITOR PLAINPAKER: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say something that may be of interest to many of our people in populous districts of your state. Oshkosh is a beautiful city of about 30,000 people, bounded on two sides by two beautiful lakes, and is fast becoming a favorite pleasure resort for rich people, and there is a dearth of help here at present and in fact all the time, especially of colored girls. I could place 50 good girls now, at good wages. There are only about ten families of colored people here, but all are employed at good wages. Girls who are good cooks, or waiters, or nureo girls, can command good wages here, from $2.50 to $4 per week in good homes. I know of one place where a man and his wife could find employment at $50.00 per month. house rent and fuel furnished, for man that could fill the bill as butler and woman as cook and a waiter girl. No better people. Why stay down there and take small wages, you can be independent in a short time? My friend, Mr. Rice, of Lawrence, Kansas, is here. He has a well furnished home now and has several hundred dollars in bank. His cousin came here last spring, and has as good a suit of new clothes as any young man should be proud of, and Bro. Rice tells me he has about $40 in bank. Young men, come North: young ladies, come; we invite you to come. I will find places for all who will come, and will see you have a place to stay until you are employed. I wish I had 20 girls and 20 men now, I could place every one at good wages. You may ask, why is it that help is no source. Well, I will answer that the white girls of the city are employed in our factories, where they can have their evenings after work is done, and won't do house work. Hence, a dearth of good girl help. Any one wishing me to secure places will please send me their photo. For those who would wish to come and have not the means, where I can get 4 to 10 I will get rates, and girls with best of recommendations I will see will have their fare paid. But they will be required to come on contract to work for parties that may be wanting help. I wish to organize a society so that you will have a place to attend church service and Sunday School. Some may say it is too cold up no far North. The degree in temperature was not so very much colder here than in many of the Southern states. One thing, we are prepared for any cold wave that may come. Cool stoves are run all winter; and house floweas bloomed in my house all last winter, though my house is poor to the houses in which you would be employed, in which you would know no cold. Come now, come at once. We want none but good people, that we can recommend. Trusting to hear from some one that will fill the bill, any information will galdly be given on receipt of a two cent postage stamp. Yours fraternally. NATL' NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Seventh Annual Session to Be Held In Atlanta, Ga, Aug. br-cv. The railroads of the United States have granted a rate of a fare and a third, plus 25 cents on the certificate plan, for the round trip from all points as far west as Cheyenne, Wyo, and all points in Colorado to the Seventh Annual Session of the National Nebro Business League at Atlanta, Ga, August 29, 30 and 31, 1906. Delegates paying full tariff rates going to Atlanta and who hold certificates of the standard form properly executed and stamped by the agents at the starting points will be sold tickets for the return journey under the rules and regulations hereinafter set forth, at one third of the first class limited fare, plus 25 cents, via the routes traveled in going to Atlanta, as specified on the certificates. Rules and regulations: 1. Each delegate dealing to avail himself of the reduced rate must purchase a first-class ticket (either limited or unlimited) to Atlanta at the regular tariff rate, and at the same time procure from the ticket agent a certificate of the standard form properly executed and stamped by said agent. If a through ticket cannot be secured at startling point, the delegate should purchase to the most convenient point at which such ticket can be obtained and there repurchase through to the place of meeting, procuring a standard certificate from each agent from whom a ticket is purchased, and presenting all of the certificates to the special agent at the Atlanta meeting. . Do Not Be Jim Crowed. Afro-American passengers on roads entering the new terminal station at Atlanta are not allowed to use the front entrance, but are compelled to enter and leave the station through a jam crow side door, so it is important that when you buy your ticket to demand that it reads via either of the following railroads into Atlanta: Seaboard Air Line Railway. Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Georgia Railroad. Western and Atlantic Railroad. These roads all enter the old station, where there is no jim crow entrance. It is the wish of the officers and members of the executive committee of the national business league that the above information gets the widest possible publicity, without expense to the league. Thanking you in advance for anything you may do to advance the interests of the league. I am, yours faithfully, C. F. ADAMS, Transportation Agent. Annual Meeting of Negro Journalists!

FRIDAY, AUG. 31, 1906. "CATERING TO SOUTHERN IDEAS" Everybody should sing praises to the name of John Brown, of Oleawatomie, who died that all men should be free. The execution of this man at Harper's Ferry is only to be compared with the crucifixion the Saviour—both died for mankind, and every colored man, woman and child should reverence the name of John Brown. Instead of the citizens of the great state of Kansas following the cardinal principles laid down by Brown, they are allowing the followers of Jeff Davis and those whose hands are stained with his blood to dictate the running of the state government. The men who opposed John Brown, the freedom of Kansas and the black man are enacting black laws upon our statute books and taking away the rights of a people that was purchased with the lives and suffering of 175,000 of their loyal sons who based their breasts to Sumpter, Fort Pillow, and Richmond that the old flag might float over a free and united people. Seventy five thousand of these patriotic sons sleep today in unmarked graves in the Southland, and as a monument to their valor and patriotism, infamous black laws have been placed upon the statutes of Kansas by men who sought to keep them in bondage. While those who stood for liberty and justice have been sleeping to the lullaby of "No North and no South," Jeff Davis's rebel host has quietly stole into Kansas and left a blot upon our statute books that is an ever lasting shame and disgrace. Everyone should uphold the teachings of he who believed in right and justice to all mankind. All honor to the patriotic citizens of Osawatomie who paid great homage to the name of John Brown on Wednesday and Thursday. Every colored church in the United States should set aside one hour to talk of the good he accomplished and sing praises to his name. John Brown was the second Christ that came and he gave his life that the black man might be free, and no rebel sympathizer should be permitted to speak ill of him. May Kansas never again disgrace his name by passing a black law.—Nick Chiles. Tuxue is nothing needed more among our people at this time than successful men and women. Men and women who have in a measure surmounted the difficult path of life, and are willing to lean back and lend a helping hand to the less fortunate. All of us have something to do in shaping the lives and destinies of those with whom we come in contact, and the example of our lives should be an inspiration to others. With the great strides forward in the march of life, each year we find a larger and wider field in which to display our genius, but we find more competition.

But nothing pierces the gloom of race prejudice like the example of a life crowned with success. Our leaders are men and women capable of making a place not only for themselves, but also capable of providing employment for others.

He was born in or near the town of Harrisonville, Case County, Mo. He was a slave and at the out-break of the war enlisted in the First Kansas Colored Intrantry, and served until the close of the war. He may have went by the name of Rhone 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, Mass., or 392 West Fulton Street, Chicago, Ill. This is his son, who is the owner and originator of Gideon's Refined Negro Minutrels.

There is needed faith in one's self, faith in others; but more than all, there is needed faith in God. It is the watchword of progress for the world and of salvation for the soul. This often makes all the difference between success and failure. It climbs the dangerous steeps, it bridges the mighty streams, opera fountains in the desert and makes the wilderness blossom as the rose. It enables us to discover and tame the most terrible forces in nature and put them in iron harness to work for man. It lifts the cloud of ignorance from the human mind, scares away the horrid specters of fear and superstition, stretches the iron nerve for the electric thrill of thought to pass with lightning speed over the mountains and across the continents and under the ocean, all around the globe. But faith is used more in a religious sense than in any other way. It is by faith that devotion comes above this dull earth, breaks through its clouds, breathes a purer air and lives in a softer light. It is the flame that lifts the sacrifice to heaven. It is the pencil that pictures heavenly things. It is the key that unlocks the cabinet of God's treasures; the King's messenger from the celestial world, to bring all the supplies we need out of the fullness there is in Christ. It is the subtle chain that binds us to the infinite. The steps of faith fall on a seeming void but alight on solid rock. It is the inspiration of all good works, and, amid the disorders of a sinful life, is like the lamp burning in an ancient tomb. It enlightens our life and irradiates the gloom when in the valley of the shadow. It is like the evening star which shines all the more brightly the deeper the gloom around us. It has made the vilest dungeon a holy place, and an instrument of torture more sacred than the scapeer of a king. After two weeks of hard preaching in the city of Clarkville, I. T. the Lord blessed our work with abundant success. Dear preachers, if you want to have a success in life you will have to purify your hearts and have faith in God. I am conducting a meeting at Wybark. I. T. We have now one conversion and eighteen mourners. Pray for our success. Yours for the cause. JOPLIN, MO. Mrs. J. S.

One person in four has a weak heart; it may be you. If so, you should know it now, and save serious consequences. If you have short breath, fluttering, palpitation, hungry spells, hot flushes; if you cannot lie on left side; if you have fainting or smothering spells, pain around heart, in side and arms, your heart is weak, and perhaps diseased. Dr. Miles' Heart Cure will relieve you. Try a bottle, and see how quickly your condition will improve. "About a year ago I wrote to the Miles Medical Co, asking advice, as I was suffering with heart trouble, and had been for two years. I had pain in my heart, back and left side, and had not been able to draw a deep breath for two years. Any little exertion would cause painstation, and could not lie on my left side without it, so when I came to try Dr. Miles Heart Cure and Neryling, which I did with the result that I am in better health than I ever was before, having gained 14 pounds since I commenced taking it. I took about thirteen bottles of the two medicines, and haven't been bothered with my heart since."

Fisher, returned from Fort Scott one day this week a pretty sick man, but at this writing we are pleased to report that the old boss is feeling fine, and in a few days will again be seen on the firing line leading a gallant charge in the defense of right, justice and humanity. The few days Mr. Fisher has been laid up for repairs, he has been seriously missed, as one could read of him daily giving wholesome advice to those who toil, and issuing out gall and wormwood to Tillman, Vardaman and their followers. He is no doubt the most logical and convincing speaker participating in the present campaign, and if the Republican party fails to remember him with something substantial this fall, it will prove itself very ungrateful. There are some things the party has to meet on the stump this fall that no man in the whole state can "square" but Fisher, which proves that he should be locked after.

Reporter The Subordinate Circles of the Beneicial Order of Seven met in the City of St. Louis, July 5, 6 and 7, last, and appointed committees to formulate plans and to arrange a program of ceremonies for celebrating in Abyssinia Hall, St. Louis, September 18th to 22nd, next (the 6th Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation which President Abraham Lincoln signed September 2nd, 1862. All past and present officers of our churches and societies are legal delegates to the convention for the betterment of our city and to prepare for Emancipation Day. About seven of the seventeen states in which the Order has branches were represented at the July meeting. The enthusiasm manifested convinced all of those present that the next anniversary of the proclamation that gave freedom to the negro race will be more generally celebrated than any of the preceding ones. District conventions of Subordinate Circles will be held in St. Louis, August 14th to 17th, next, for the purpose of perfecting plans which the committees appointed at the July meeting will present. 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 relied 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.

The regular school session will begin September 10th, or one week from Monday morning at 10 a.m. Never be too late the outlook been so bright and encouraging for a great year's work as the institutions for a crowded enrollment and the improvements and added accommodations now reveal to the aspiring student. A young President French spent Monday and Tuesday in Macheson on business at the school. Prof. Achebe Gogge left Saturday to complete his summer work for the institution in the south western town of town. The local members of the University Choral Society, under the direction of Prot. Foil to. Jackson tendered a highly entertaining staged program at Allen Chappel K. C. Mr. Sunday, Aug 12th, and at the A M E Church in K. C. Kate. Sunday, Aug 19th Prot. Harry R. Graham spent a few days at the Mme. Grand Lodge in Atkinson last week. Mrs. Graham continued on to St. Joseph to visit with Prot. Parkins and wife. Prot De Lee and Miss G. Clark will arrive from Ohio, and Madam Curry from St. Jose, about next Thursday. Miss Josephine Wright has been sick in Ohio, but is rapidly improving. Prot Albert Ross has returned from his summer work for the institution in Colorado. Miss Lazle Muse, of Columbus, Mrs. and Mr. Hul Clay, of Chippeau Creek, Col. and A Mundak, of California, are new students who have already arrived to take up the normal and industrial work this year. Mr. Albert Ross in daughter, More departed last week to spend an an debate visit at Colorado Springs, with relatives at Prot. Ross, to cooperate among the mountains and in the high altitude. A much needed solution is being elected to Ward Hall, so as to give our young ladies better accommodations off more equipment in their dormitory. In a thoughtful person who travels from town to town and sees the utility of a large number of competitions to the major box and grid in these Western cities in the struggle for existence and for better conditions and betterment the ideas and objects for which our institution stands is the only remedy and practical course that will bring the desired ends—get the results wanted. Negro mothers and fathers are the more and more each year, hence our school continues to be crowded with new students and continues to spread itself out, compulsive, over this vast West can section, teaching every negro to do something and BL' somebody. Won I Vernon, Register of the Treasury, and the head of Western University will be in Kansas next week to spend a few weeks, and will visit the institution during the opening days.

And has Belonged to Every Political Party ever Organised in his time. Accept the Socialist—Little to Join that Before the Present Campaign is ever—Ryan Rew turns his Santa Fe Pass—Why Doesn't He turn in his other Railroad Pass—Marrin buys a Vanant lot at Lawrence—Doen he intend to pitch a Vont there for the Summer—Other Matters at Interest. David Overmyer, the democratic nominee for attorney general of Kansas, has started out on what his friends say will be a "whirlwind campaign" of the state. Overmyer began his "whirlwind campaign" at Mound City. His most interesting statement in a two hour speech was a characterization of Gov. Hoch as an "irresolute anglaworm." This from David Overmyer known to notoriously in Kansas as a republican, anti-prohibitionist, prohibitionist, stalwart democrat, fusion democrat, gold standard democrat, free silver democrat, friend of the railroads, fee of the railroads and all round political lightning change artist. It has been well said of David Overmyer that he has at some time been right on every political question that has ever been before the people of Kansas. He has been on all sides of all questions and now occupies a position on the prohibition question that is exactly the opposite to the course he has pursued throughout all his previous public life. Overmyer is this year one of the chief spirits of the democratic campaign to elect Col. W. A. Harris, of Chicago, governor of Kansas. Overmyer is also making his campaign on a platform pleading both he and Harris to rigid enforcement of the prohibitory law. In 1894 Overmyer was a candidate for governor on a straight democratic ticket, running on a resubmission platform. L. D. Lowelling, two years before elected governor by the democrats and populists combined, was a candidate for re-election on the populist ticket. W. A. Harris was a candidate on the same ticket with Lowelling for congressman at-large. Overmyer opposed both. On the straight ticket with Overmyer was J. G. Lowe as a democratic candidate for congressman at large. Overmyer and Lowe polled sufficient democratic votes to bring the defeat of Lewelling and Harris and elect E. N. Morrill and R. W. Blue. It was openly charged throughout the campaign that Overmyer was not honest in his candidacy, that he hoped only to bring about the defeat of the populists Immediately after the election at which Lewelling was defeated the Topeka edition of the Ottawa Journal, edited by E. H. Snow, and the official organ of Kansas populism, contained the following comment regarding a statement made by Overmyer that he was satisfied with the result of the election: "While Dave Overmyer did not get elected governor of Kansas there seems to be a pretty general understanding that he pulled the leg of the republicans for about as much as the salary would amount to. No wonder he is satisfied with the result." The populist party never recovered from the defeat administered to it in 1894. In 1897 the finishing touches to the pops were put on through the treachery of W. A. Harris, H. P. Farrelly, W. H. Ryan and Balle Waggener, who caused the defeat of the maximum freight legislation the pops had promised the people. The destruction of the populist organization in Kansas can largely be attributed to Harris. Overmyer, Farrelly, Ryan and Waggener, the very men who are now running the democratic party in Kansas and asking the assistance of the very populists they so shamelessly betrayed and deceived in 1894 and 1897. Harris, Overmyer, Farrelly and Ryan are now bound together by a common hope that they may gain control of public business in Kansas and distribute political pie to the famihing democrats who co-operated with them in the destruction of populism. There is no probability that they will again be placed in positions where they may betray the people of Kansas. Overmyer, who for years has blewn hot and cold on all political propositions, who has attempted to be all things to all men, can not deceive the voters by speaking of Gov. Hoch as an "irresolute angelsworm." RETURNS ONE PASS. But Myan Holds on to the Best- Caught with the Goods on Him. W. H. Ryan, chairman of the democratic state central committee, has been scoured into returning his Santa Fe railroad pass to Judge 'W. R. Smith, the general solicitor of the Santa Fe, who gave it to him. Ryan was given a Santa Fe pass after his election as chairman as a meeting of candidates and committeemen at which it was decided that the railroad pass is an unmixed evil which the democrate will prohibit if they succeed in their purpose to elect Col Harris, of Chicago, as governor of Kansas. Ryan gleefully accepted the Santa Fe pass and was mighty glad to get it. He used it without reservation until republican newspapers discovered the difference between democratic promises and democratic practice. Of course Ryan did not intend to have POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ignition Recently Nated. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the wires of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Bundeschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been charred entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining confined to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the polisal surroundings.

A. HARRIS CONCEALS HIS HATRED AND NOW DODGES. Desires To Prevent Bryan From Speaking in Kansas ONE OF THE LEADERS GIVES TRUE EXPLANATION. Of Real Attitude of the Chicago Candidate for Governor "W J Bryan will not make speech in Kansas this fall if W A. Harris can help it," remarked one of the best known Democrats in the state at the conclusion of the Democratic state committee meeting in Topeka last week. I know Harris has died the truth of the published statement that he wants no outsiders to come to Kansas his year but his tenial is not found on truth. I was in the meeting and heard the matter discussed so I know what I am talking about "Harris has brawn and makes no secret of his trust with the thinks himself a man of faith. Harris knows that Kansas good would like to hear Bryan this fall and that the Nebraska man would do the parts much good in the state. I do not mind this that Bryan would make votes for Harris. I think the contrary is true. But Bryan is going to be the no oracle candidate for president in two years and by two or three speeches in Kansas this fall he could win the votes up so we would not trouble him in carrying the state in Iowa. "Harris does not want Bryan elected. Besides he does not want to stir the Republicans up on national issues this year. The presence of Bryan would draw the lines in the present campaign on a partisan basis. That is the thing Harris does not want and in order to accomplish his own purposes he is willing to injure Bryan's chances in two years. Dearing to openly acknowledge his hatred for Bryan, Harris has a meaner thing and stabs the Nebraskan in the back under the clink of friendship. It is the old story of Harris—he is for Harris all the time and never for anyone else. I am first a friend of Brian and do not like to see him get the worst of it from men who should be his friends. While I am supporting Harris you can say that most of the enthusiasm has been taken out of me by Harris' attitude toward Brian and that there are hundreds more who feel just as I do about it. JACKSON ALL RIGHT. Next Attorney General Is Honest And Canable F. 8 Jackson, republican candidate for attorney general probably is one of the best qualified men for the place he seeks of the candidates on any ticket. He is the present assistant attorney general and he had a great deal to do with the work of his department in making trouble for the trusts and big corporations. He has devoted his time to a study of the inquiries of the trust problem and probably is as well informed on the subject as any lawyer in the state and in much better condition to handle such problems than any candidate against him. Mr Jackson is one of the brightest of the young attorneys in the state. He has practiced law for a number of years in Greenwood county and was county attorney there for a term. He made one of the best prosecuting officers the county ever had and it was largely on account of the great record he made in that office that he was selected to fill the place of asistant attorney general when Jas D. Close died. He has dutifully himself in favor of those reforms which the Republican party has been advocating for years and he will be one of the strong men of the next state administration. He has repeatedly said that he will do what he can to bring about reforms wanted by the people while his opponent David Overmeyer goes up and down the state discuss any issue to keep away from state reforms. NO SIMILARITY. Comparison of W A Harra With Governor Folk Is Amusing Governor Folk is Amusing The Kansas City Star (D) tries to compare Colonel W A Harris with Governor Folk of Missouri and to make its real or believe that conditions in Kansas are as bad as they were in Missouri when Folk was elected. The attempt to make the people of Kansas believe that Harris is of the same kind as the governor of Missouri is in trouble. How many people will all a sin action of Harris during the six years he was United States or from this that is worth it or trying. Like the state admirer the Star finds only the qualification which out of the people of his state the time in which he is not the only qualified man the affairs of a state it would be a very difficult matter for the to convince Kansas people that Harris is any more honest than Governor Hoch and as for being as well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Hoch side of the question Colonel Harris served the state six years and left no record or big deeds behind him. Harris' Railroad Ideas Traced to Their Origin—Keefer Protections, FROM CORPORATIVE COUNSEL, Horace A. Keefer of Leavenworth county, the Populist nominee for Governor, is determined that no populist of former Populist shall vote for Col. Harris of Chicago this fall without knowing the political record of the Illinois man the Democrats have nominated for Governor of Kansas. Mr. Keefer is a former political as society of Harris and has an intimate knowledge of the political methods and plans of the Harris Farrelly-Waggenet crowd of Democrats When Col. Harris lived in Kansas his residence was in Leavenworth county; Keefer too was a resident of Leavenworth county and as a leading populist he was thrown much with Harris in the old fusion days when the Pops thought they could depend on the Democrats While in Topeka attending the meeting of the Populist state central committee Keefer spoke his mind freely concerning Harris and some of the things he said, and will repeat in each speech he makes this fall, are costing the Chicago man hundreds of supporters Keefer's story of his first suspicion of Harris is interesting In 1890 Hurds wanted to be the fussy nor face for Governor." he sait "Hurds has asked me to become a candidate for state senator from Leavenworth county. Hurds was defended as a candidate for Governor and came home from the Adjutary convention and in order to help him in his scheme to be elected United States senator I withdrew as a candidate for state senator in his favor. Through the influence of my self and some of my Populist friends he was elected state senator and I was made a member of the House "After the election Harris asked me to come down to his house and participate in a conference regarding proposed railroad legislation I asked who would be there and he said 'Judge Robinson and a few of the boys' Do you mean Judge Ellhu Robinson, of Kansas City?' I asked. "Yes," he said. "Why," I replied, 'he is a Missouri Pacific attorney "I know that,' said Harris, 'but he is a good fellow and he is my brother in law. He will give us some good pointers about legislation next winter. You better come down." From that time on I became suspicious of Colonel Harris I could not understand how he expected to profit or do the people good from 'pointers' which he would receive from a Missouri Pacific attorney I watched the colonel from that time and found that he was working entirely too much with Judge Robinson, Balle Waggener, Hugh Farrolly and W. H. Ilian Ryan, Harris and Parrellly were in the senate that winter, and they worked together to fool the people They succeeded fairly well in the railroad measure they put through, but they could not fool Governor Leedy. They came so near succeeding that time that they think they can fool the people this year. They are mistaken We will call attention to the fact that Colonel Harris insisted upon being surrounded this year with Ryan and Farrelly. He had worked with these men in some of his former deals and knew that he could get along with them. Consistency is a Jewel. Populists who contemplate voting the reubilized pop state ticket this fall should remember that George Imana, the chairman of the so-called populist organization, was a member of the Kansas state senate during the Reedy administration and fought every bill introduced to redeem the pledges of the populist platform—Independence Times. And yet Senator Hanna voted the same way as did Senator Harris on all important pop measures, including the railroad bill that session Why doesn't the Times denounce Harris, too, instead of supporting him?—Kansas City Journal Senator Long will devote all of his time from now until the election to the campaign he has arranged his private business so that he will be free until November With W J. Fitzgerald, republican candidate for lieutenant governor, and C E. Denton, republican candidate for secretary of state Senator Long will make an automobile trip through the five southwestern counties, which have no railroads, most month. The party will start September 17, and will make sohes and campaign through the counties until September 21.
