THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. JME VIII. KANSAS BLAOKS ARE PROSPEROUS! The Plaindealer Man Visits a Number of Towns and Finds the Negroes Doing Well. This was our first trip to Independence, and we are compelled to confess that it is a fine city surrounded with a net work of oil and gas offices. It is a clean city filled with thrifty people. We met a few of the good colored people who are pushing along at a rapid rate, and one of the most influential men among them is J. J. Welch, who owns and operates a fine restaurant and lunch counter which is a paying investment. He also owns a carpet cleaning establishment equipped with a gasoline engine and cost in the neighborhood of one thousand dollars. He controls the business of the town and surrounding country. What he is doing thousands of other colored men could accomplish in other sections of the country. He owns some valuable real estate and is a hustler. Here we met our old time friend, Geo. T. Allen, who is operating a successful hand laundry, cleaning, dyeing and pressing conein. He is making money. I. I. Welch conducts a nice barbershop in connection with his pool and billiard parlors and is doing nicely. Over four hundred colored men are employed in the cement works and not a colored merchant to get any of the money that is spent by them. What is needed is an organization to go ahead and plan so that such affairs can be put into execution. This is also the home of the mother of Miss Jurnita Adams, our stenographer. Mrs. Adams like most of the colored people in this city, owns a comfortable little home. We met several of the county officials and found them to be as like a lot of gentlemen as one sarc to meet. At some future time we will have something to say of them personally. R. L. Gusett will set as our correspondent. APIOLA We spent a portion of Sunday and all of Monday, the 27th, in this wide awake city, as clean and neat as a pin; not a saloon, joint or drug store joint, and not one drunk; jail empty, and not a loafer; everybody working. The one objection we had, and we hope it will be remedied, is that not one colored person was seen working on the public streets. We are told that the municipal officers won't give them work. We want the major and council to be fair and not to withhold bread and butter from any man's mouth, nor from his children, who wants to work and earn a livelihood. We visited the A. M. E. church Sunday night. Rev. L. C. Newby, an excelleut Christian gentleman, is pastor here, and is preparing to erect a 2,000 brick church, saving over 2,400 in bank to commence work. We were invited to talk, and the Reverend deferred his sermon and let the PLAINDEATER man give some whispered advice. Everyone was pleased at the talk we made. There are three churches in the town, one of which is Baptist. Rev. J. L. Gordon the pastor, is rebuilding his church, and when completed it will be as fine a church as anyone would wish to worship in. Dr. J. S. Bass, one of the leading physicians of Iola, is in charge of the mission at Bassett. This is the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 7, 1906. cement district He is creating quite a sensation by putting on a spelling contest, the winner to receive $5. The cement works employ about 500 colored men. There is not a peanut stand in Bassett carried on by colored people. This is an excellent chance for some one with a little money, brain and push to start and make money, provided no credit is allowed. Some one is needed to organize these men and keep them organized. There are a few men in town carrying on good business. J. L. Johnson stone and brick contractor, is doing good business, and also owns a first class barber shop. A. H. Booker is doing quite a business, restaurant, pool, cigars and ice cream. T. M. Stoud, agent for Kansas City and St. Louis papers, is doing the best business of any colored man we know of in that line. Irvin Green is conducting a small grocery, doing fair business. Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Banks conduct a first class boarding house. Mrs. J. Phelps is the leading seamstress, and gets all the work she can do. Mrs. James Stewart, a widow, is an industrious lady and will send her daughter, Miss Celeste, to the Tuskegee Institute. T. W. Green, the blacksmith, will attend Wilberforce, preparing for the ministry. Mrs. Ada Garrett is on the sick list. Alexander Beeves is timekeeper at the cement works and is well liked by all. He still hangs on to Emporia. We are told that the mayor will not give colored people employment on the streets, notwithstanding they own several beautiful homes and are taxpayers. Mrs. Fannie Fields, the president of the Orphan's Home, was in Ft. Scott preparing to pay the last dollar on the home. Arthur Giles has charge of the Elks' club and is doing well. The county politics have not warmed up as yet. C. E. Adams, clerk of the district court, is a candidate for reelection and is a good man. Ralph W. Adair for county attorney, has plenty of friends. Shuff Richardson is popular as ever. We met George Washington Dewey, formerly of Topeka, an orphan who knows no father or mother or where he came from. He is in a good family, has a good home and will make a perfect gentleman. He attends Sabbath school, and we heard him read a lesson before the Endeavor Sunday evening, which was good. He is about nine years old. Congressman Scott, who believes in doing what the president wants, says the entire Republican ticket will be elected. He is for Stubbs for senator. AT COTTEVILLE. We found the colored people still progressing. Mr. Foster Williams is one of the leading merchants and is doing an excellent business as is also the Union Grocery Co., managed by Mr. John Elias. Here we found a fine colored drug store, several good restaurants, one newspaper and a great many prosperous land owners and farmers in the surrounding territory. Mr. David Morris in one of the most substantial farmers about Coffeyville and owns 500 acres of land well stocked with horses and cattle. A new enterprise has been started in this city—a second hand furniture store, conducted by Mr. M. Reeves. This is a business that we have urged our young men to take hold of and it will only be a short time until they could be conducting first-class furniture houses. We had the pleasure of meeting Monsieur Louis T. Brown, E. Mr. Daniel and W. H. Smith who are interested in the Hamilton Oil and DAYHOFF'S MAN "FRIDAY" THOMPSON! Dennis Thompson, a Negro who resides at Bethel, is trying to force himself into prominence by endorsing Daigoff's separate school plan. Thompson's letter says: "There seems to exist a great deal of misapprehension among the people throughout the state in regard to the separate school question. Many are of the opinion that there is a spirit of resistance among the negroes in the matter of the separation of the two races in the schools. There is a strong belief among the whites that every negro will oppose any legislation looking to wards separate schools, but this is unfair and tends to work an injustice to the race, when it is considered that there are negroes all through Kansas who have the same feeling of race pride that any other people have. The negro today is not a great deal unlike other people, in that he feels best when he is doing for himself; every time he accomplishes something for himself he feels the better for it, because he realizes that it is the one avenue through which self-dependence comes. The separation of the races in the schools means wide recognition of the negro's services, since more negro schools would mean more negro teachers, a fact which all intelligent negros are compelled to appreciate, because it is true that negro teachers would not be employed in mixed schools where white teachers would be available. Negroes who view the matter from the proper standpoint are unanimously in favor of separate schools, for they recognize that so long as they have unwelcome association there will not be much progress educationally. "I there can be no question that the appropriate school system where the negro population exceeds 25 per cent would work a great advantage to both sexes in Kunst, providing the facilities for negro education would be as adequate as for the whites. I don't believe that the best is too good for any people since we cannot hope to produce the highest class of citizenship and support an inferior system of training for part in the people. The man will not develop into a good citizen but more than other people of his own word but to make good citizens there must be an arrangement there must be some tendency to uphold material of so much bitter discrimination as is practiced against the negro "When we come to consider the disadvantages wrought through the prejudicial relations existent in the mixed school it is easy to discern how much greater the percentage of progress would be in the education of both races in the separate school where more congenial association could be had, both in study and in recreation" Who is this crazy Negro] Dennis Thompson, of Buthel, Kansas, that writes Superintendent Dayhoff that it is better where 25 per cent. of the population is colored to separate their children from the Indian, Chinaman, Italian and the great god-like white American in the public schools? We would like for Dayhoff's man "Friday" Thompson and the few prejudiced whites who are harping about the Negro to tell us what the difference would be if the colored population exceeded 25 per cent. or 50 per cent; or as low as 5 cent, and would the mixing or separation make the whites and the other dark races of foreign extraction any better or worse by receiving instruction in the same building and from the same teacher. It makes no difference to us whether the teacher is black or white so long as they measure full up to the standard is required by law. Now "Friday," let us tell you a few things. This man Dayhoff and his kind are not interested in the colored teacher as they are trying every means to degrade the whole race. If they desire to see what the Negro can do as a teacher, they would give him a chance to teach wherever a vacancy occurs and let him prove to the world that he is capable of teaching anyone that speaks the English language. No, instead of that, they want to hold the Negro up to ridicule because his foreparents were slaves and he is poor, yet Dayhoff's man "Friday" Thompson is too densely ignorant to see it. It is not the question of going to the same school with white people that we kick about. It is the fundamental principal of freedom to be able to exercise your rights in a Republican form of government. If the schools are supported from the taxes on real and personal property, and God created the soil and sent the reason so that man could earn this money, why should some fool white people set themselves up as Gods and rulers and say to the colored man that he must send his children to a school that is set aside especially for colored people, that "you Negroes ought to be to yourselves." If this was true, God would have kept us to ourselves and the white man could not have been able to mix the race as it is today, until it is hard for him to tell his people from the Negroes. Now he wants them separated so that he can tell who is white and who is black, and "if today" Thompson and others like him are the cause of all the hell that is being kicked up today. If Mr. Dayhoff or his team "obliged" Thompson or anyone else who believes in this infamous custom in order to give somebody a job teaching colored children only, will show us a single school building in the state of Kansas exclusively for Negroes or any city or hamlet in the Union, when the building, equipments, sanitary arrangements, location, etc., are equal to the buildings set aside for whites, Dugos and all other nationalities except the Negro, we will forever hold our peace and acknowledge over our signature that we are wrong. The columns of The Prairie Theater are open to anyone who desires to take up the side of these two hypocrites. Another proposition. After careful examination and research one will find that 50 per cent. of the colored teachers are tools of hypocritical, being and deceitful school boards and superintendents, and have to regulate their pupils in such a way as to impress them that they are inferior to other races. This is another reason no many whites object to mixed schools because all white teachers must teach the children superiority, bravery, man and womanhood and they don't want the black boy or girl to know any of these things. If these things are not facts, we will step down and out and turn our office over to Dayhoff and his man "friday." The good people of this country stand for one faith, one country, one flag and one law to govern all, and those who don't like it, get out. Don't single out and exclude the law and try to force upon others that which you would not accept your self. If the white man who professes to be a Christian and a believer in the Ten Commandments would live up to it, race strife in America would be at an end and not until then; nor will the Negro ever cease trying to force the white man to live up to the tenets of the Golden Rule, the flag and the Constitution. NICK CHIES. EDITOR PRAINDERER;—As I am assigned to special service with the Pullman Co., I have a chance to gather a few notes on the South as I have seen it and think you will find these which I forward of sufficient interest to warrant publication. In company with Wm. Burrell, of Chicago, I spent a week in Ashville, N. C., a fine summer resort, where the Vanderbilt farm, with the finest home in the world, is locatrd. On account of the city being blessed with plenty of rich people from New York the colored line has been so reduced that colored people can ride on any street cars, any seat; but sometimes the conductor will politely ask you to give a lady your seat if she is standing up far. I was asked once myself. I learned afterwards that I was not compelled to give my seat to anyone. Well, I viewed everything around and saw what the colored people were doing. I found white men were going around begging for laborers and could not get them on account of corn mash whiskey being so good and so cheap that it kept them from working. Again, I found a beautiful building which cost Vanderbilt about $42,975. He sold it to the colored people for $11,000 so that they could have a nice building in which to carry on business of all kinds. Mr. Jones has a beautiful drug store, employs two clocks, and is doing aushing business. I met Dr. Bryant, who has a beautiful store building with about a ten thousand doll in stock of all kinds, managed by the most polite and prattest woman of the South. The doctor has a wonderful practice. There is a colored butler shop right on main street, building and shop owned by W. A. Williams. Mr. Johnson has a fine cafe, run by two ladies who are hard to beat in carrying the business on. You must eat in the colored restaurants or eat in the kitchen. The colored people claim that Ashville is a paradise beside some parts of the South. Well, we had a very nice time while there, but they all can have the South until it gets so you don't have to take off your hat when talking to white people on the street. In touring old Mexico I find good openings for colored people. The Spanish are friendly with us. Also, while touring Canada I found a great demand for colored people. Master Macco Birch, of Kansas City, Mo., has been visiting his godfather, G. W. Slaughter for several weeks and will return home on the 22nd. Mrs. Dr. J. N. Burch, who has been visiting Mrs. G. W. Slaughter will also return home on the 22nd. Robert Owens, of Los Angeles, Cal., who stopped over with me for a few days, has gone to New York, to join his wife. With best regards to all and wishing The Prayerist every success. Your ever truly: NUMBER 35. citizens of Kansas! WILL MEET IN TOPEKA! The National Negro Business League Will Be Royally Entertained Here in 1907. We are pleased to note that Mr. Ira O. Guy, president of the local Negro Business League, with the assistance of Mr. Jones of Chicago, has been successful in securing the 1907 meeting of the National Negro Business League for Topeka. This organization was founded about seven years ago by Booker T. Washington, and is considered the best J. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

We WINES JOE GANS IS KING! Was Nelson’s Master from Start to Finish—Meerit, Not Color Wins, Gotpriatp, Nev. Sept. 4 —Bat thing Neleon deliberately fouled Joc Gans in the forty-eecond rouud of the best and longest fight seen in the West for many yeare, Both men were tired when the fight ended but Gane was spparently the stronger, He was away ahead on points and had smashed and cut Nelson all through the fight without being badly hurt himeelf. Shortly after the forty-recond round commenced the men were in their ueual clinch. Neleoc had bis bead on Gacs’ shout- der and his arm down, Several times he hit Gaus below the belt, apparontly feeling fora vital epot. At lost be drew back hiv right aim and hit Gans a vicioux blow square in the groin. The Negro sank to his knees and rolled over on his back, Referee Siler without hes. itation ordered Nelaon to his cor- her and awarded the fight to Gane ona foul, Siler*y desimton received almost ananunvax approval, ‘The foul wade obvious Chal net esc wen who hid betZou Nelwon could way that it had not been commited. All through the loag contest Nelaon had employed rough tactics. He repeatedly butted Gaus and had to have bie head pushed away by the referee, Referee Siler stated to the Asso- ciated Prese that while he would not aay that the foul wesintentional there was no doubt that It waa com. mitted. Nelson, he said, had ueed hie waual tactice all through the fight and while he knew that Nelson was butting whenever he bad an opportunity he did not disqualify him for that beosuse he saw that it was not hurting Gans, and as no other referee had ever disqualified Nelson for doing the same thing he did not feel like dolog it. Besides, the people were there to see the Sght and he did not want to disap- point them. Siler was loudly cheered as he left the ring, as was Gans, who was carried to his drevs'ng roum. Nelson and his scconds were hissed as they departed. Dilly Noten, Nelson's manager, made a disconnected atate- ment in which he esid that Gans had promised not to claim the fight on a foul, and yet he jumped at the very first opportunity to mske such solaim, All Nelson would say was BIGPICNIC AND PU BLC SPEAKING MOSES DICKSON PARK Leavenworth, Kansas SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, SEPT. 8 to 9, 06 ———SPEAKIZG BY=—— Hon.

She will enter Western University next week. Mr. Robt. Monroe and Miss Ella White of Quinduo township were joined in the holy bonds of well-lost last Saturday evening. The groom is a very industrious and progressive young man well known in the community. Mudame La. Ashton Woods, graduate trained nurse, departed last week for Colorado Springs, where she has accepted a very desirable position at Camp Hutton, a summer camp worth in valuable. Hon. W. W. Lishu of Jopka addressed a large gathering of colored citizens at the Metropolitan Baptist church last Monday evening. Clement Highwarden, 17 years of age, met with a very unfortunate accident Saturday evening which resulted in his death Sunday by being pushed out of a second story window and falling fifteen feet to the ground upon his spine. Roy, H. Chaka Pope of Washington, D. C., with his 150 stercopion views and picture, "the Black Hand," is in Kansas City this week. The colored people are crowding the churches to hear and see upon the canvas the record of the black arm of the negro, from the time of Christ down to the days of Booker Washington and his Tuckkee. Rev. E. R. Vaughan and Mrs. Frankie E. H. Wassom, both of Western university faculty, has lately returned to the city. Rev. Vaughan from a very profitable trip among the prosperous Negroes of the territories, and Mrs. Wassom from a pleasant outing in Colorado Springs. Mr. Charles Anderson, well known here, is very near death's door at this writing. Mrs. W. S. Harris left last week for a few weeks' recreation in the mountains of Colorado. A charity baseball game for Douglas hospital will be played at Sportsman's park, between the colored doctors and colored teachers, September 13th. The schools of Wyandotte county will open September 17th. The new colored high school building, Summer Manual Training high school by name, is a thing of beauty and an honor to the colored people of the city. A number of very competent teachers have been added to the faculty, and the school starts out in the front rank of the negro schools of this western half of the nation. Now that separation has to come, let us make its work better than that done at white high schools in the lives of its graduates and then noble record in an utter life. --- Just think—19,000 new people came to reside in Kansas City, Kansas, in the last year. Most of them the common working element from Arkansas, Texas and Missouri. This element is what we must contend with daily and hourly, Board and Lodging-Everything Clean-First-class Rooms.

Kansas City, Mo, also grew in a like proportion. And yet our colored young men and women with spare money hesitate to put their earnings in real estate on the outskirts of town, which is sure to treble in value in the next few years. Too much good time, beer and crooked women is rupping our golden chances to make money. Buy the land and make the poor white man the renter, and his prejudice to you will soon disappear. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. The faculty for the coming school year consists of the following persons: President, Wm. T. Vernon (on Indefinite leave of absence); Acting President, Shelton French, Logic and Psychology; Archie Gregg, Mathematics and German; Rev. E. R. Vaughan, Theology, History and Latin; Mrs. Frankie E.

Miss Elizabeth Brown and Miss Lula Tucker, last year students in Dressmaking and Millinery, have opened up an establishment near Muskogee, L. T., with a $1,000 stock of up to date goods and an excellent patronage. Such living arguments as these exemplify all to what our institution stande raisin using mothers and fathers in all parts of the great West to send and enroll then promising sons and in intelligent daughters with us, so that they too may receive the most modern and best training of heart, head and hand, which in these sturious days is so very necessary for individual success and racial update along material and substantial lines, not alone for the upper tenth of the race, but also for the great bulk and masses of our people. Prot. Wm. Kennedy arrived from a summer spent at Lacbon Springs, Mo., and Prot. A. C. De Loo from Ohio, this week. A GRAND SUCCESS.

The first session of the Central District Lincoln Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, which convened August 22, 1000, at Asbury Church, North Topeka, Kan, has become history, and those who have been here all the while say it has made better history than any District Conference in this part of our work. Conference was called to order at 8 o'clock by the Rev. J. J. Cabbell, P. E. Roll call showed almost a full attendance of the pastors, but since this District includes all of Kansas and a part of Indian Territory, making travel very expensive, there were not many delegates present. The Conference was organized with the following officers, viz: (Linda omitted) C. R. Ross, Secretary; L. E. Hayes, Assistant Secretary; D. Smith, Treasurer; L. S. Burton, Reporter for City Press; C. R. Ross, for the Southwestern Christian Advocate; and H. F. S. Johnson for the Central Christian Advocate and the Iowa Plumblah. That the Conference might start right the Presiding Ilder called the pastor in executive session and informed them that the object of the District Center one was not merely to be reports, papers and speeches, but that the Center one was also to be the means of saving somebody and of making favorable sentiment for the church we represent. This meeting revealed that there were personal grievances between some of the baptism, which, in the time light of gospel birth, were settled satisfactorily to all consent for the sake of Christ and the church. When strong will and stubborn men will show such anxiety as these baptism did to settle their differences it gives us confidence in poor depraved humanity's ability to lose sight of self under the influence of the religion of Christ. The good sermons, frequent prayers and soul reviving songs were proof positive of the wisdom of this executive session. Since the saving of a soul is cause for jubilation in heaven, the conference properly repeals over one conversion. The Rev. Jordan D. Knox of the Kansas Conference in well chosen words and a brotherly spirit, welcomed the Conference to the city of Topeka. The response by Rev. J. N. Burton reflected credit upon both himself and the Conference. Naturally much interest would confer upon the Presiding Elder's first report. He went at it so much like a veteran in that office that some of the brethren think in anticipation of becoming Presiding Elder he had practiced making reports long before his promotion. The report showed progress along all times and also revealed that the Presiding Elder has confidence in his man. The reports from pastor and delegates showed that both spiritually and financially Methodism in the District is "pressing on the upward way." Dr M.C. B Mason for some unavail-able reason, could not be present at the Hardman's All and Southern Hour- tional Society's anniversary Thursday night. H. L. Candly, H. L. N Johnson and H. S. South, Proceeding Letter of the Western District, spoke of the maga- nent work the Society is doing to solve the race problem, and to save Aunt at home and Africa beyond the more than the high type of manhood and wo- manhood funnished by its schools. Whole Dr. Mason's place was not filled, the time was profitably employed. Church extension had its day, and the church extension man, Dr. I. L. Thomas, was there to make it a success. Comment is not necessary to any one who has heard this able son of the church preach church extension throughout the length and breadth of our twenty colored conferences. Dr. Thomas makes one see the truth while he is speaking, and hear it many days after he has gone. His description of $1.00 church extension pastors will always live in the minds of those who heard. I venture to say that not a pastor on the Central District will go to the annual conference at Muskogee in the $1.00 rank. If there were any who felt dissatisfied with their place as Negroes in the Methodist Episcopal church, they were much satisfied when Dr. Thomas gave his "Sixteen Reasons for being in the Methodist Episcopal church. He put an argument in the mouth of the humblest layman who heard him calculated to silence the most learned among those who criticise us. His sermons on Sunday were models of pulpit oratory. Learned yet simple, practical yet spiritual, and so illustrated as to chain them to one's memory for all time. Only God knows the amount of good this man does for poor, erring humanity through his lectures, his sermons and his goodly life as he travels from place to place doing the work of the church. In response to an urgent demand Dr. Thomas remained over Monday night and to a large audience, gave his famous lecture, "Vital Race Questions." Though the people were tired they heard him gladly and were sorry when he closed. Dr. I. L. Lowe of Sedalia, Mo, made a telling speech for education in general, and recommended Geo. R. Smith College as the place to obtain it. As an instance of the character of work done there Dr. Lowe mentioned that students of Geo. R. Smith College won first prizes in the Missouri State Collegiate contest this year for oratory and for cake making. Also in the stewart missionary contest for 1900. Geo. R. Smith students captured three prizes for orations and two for poems. This is very positive proof that our people do not need to send their children to other than the school of the church for the best possible training. Rev. D. Smith and his people deserve unstinted praise for the manner in which the Conference was entertained. This Conference was a harmonious blending of spiritual and nancal interests to the success of each. We have already mentioned that Christians were called and one soul saved by reason of the Conference, but we have not told you that when we quit shouting and counted the money we had to shout again over a total collection of more than $175. H. T. S. fourson, Independence, Kans. KANSAS BLACKS ARE PROSPEROUSE Continued from page one Gas company. They will undoubtedly make it a success and are already getting out several barrels of oil a day. Colleyville is growing, and the colored people are growing with it. Who's there we were the guest of Mr. Foster Williams and wife at their beautiful home Our friend, Hines, the druggist, has just begun to enjoy his honeymoon. We wish him a continuation of it. Mrs. Dr. Whitaker entertained last Thursday evening in honor of Miss Carrie Stradford of St. Louis, and for the pleasure of the students. Misses Mary B. Whittaker, Anna and Cornelius Stradford, who will attend Lincoln institute this winter, and Misses Minnie Brady, Trevy woods, David Morris and Irvin Kidd, who will attend Western University. The invited guests were Mesdames J. H. Dawson, Harvey Anderson, James Gilbert. Tim Ingram, M. E. Woods, William Love, Ernestine Brown. F. Williams and Miss Mabel Smith; Messrs. Williams, Brown, Stradford, Woods, Dawson, Anderson, Ingram, Love, Williams and Hines. Mesdames Whittaker and Love entertained Tuesday for Misses Olivia Porter of Oswego and Hattie Marie Marks of Chicago. The dining room was beautifully decorated with pink and white roses. Roses intermingled with white chrysanthemums and ribbons extended from the four corners of the table to the ceiling. Following are names of invited guests: Misses Mary B. Whittaker, Anna Stradford, Corinne Bledsoe, Bessie Ingram, Minnie Brady, Esther Dawson, Martha Tahaferro, Rella Sevier Mabel Smith, Cornelius Stratford, Pinckney Stratford and Trevy Woods. We stopped over at Parsons a few hours, and although we have quite a subscription list there and intended to collect there, but owing to pressing engagements elsewhere, we were unable to visit our subscribers at that place. We found there one of the finest drug stores in the state, owned by C. A. Morris, who conducted one of the best barbershops in that city for years. His drug store, which is a palace, is in charge of R. C. Wright, a graduate of Howard University. He is an experienced young man, and adds much to the business. The catchy name of this drugstore is the "Makin' Eyes Drug Store." P. E. Tipton accomplished one of the most difficult contracts in the history of house-moving in Kansas. He moved a house five miles through low, marshy places, and across a river, and succeeded without even damaging the plastering on the walls. He had to build trestle work to span the stream. Walter Phenix and wife, who resided in Parsons for some time, removed to their old home in Emporia. Parsons is also the home of Grand Master A. F. Greene. We did not get to see our old friend, J. W. French, but understand that he is progressing nicely. W. Sewall, one of the leading shoesmakers in the city, is still progressing. We stopped over at Columbus, and found most of the population at Baxter Spriniff attending the reunion. We saw Probate Judge Wilson, a very cordial and refined gentleman to meet. He says that Cherokee county is in the best possible shape this year, better than it has been for the past ten years, that everyone is prospering and that the Republican ticket is good for a thousand majority in that county. At Baxter Spring we found in the neighborhood of 70,000 people attending the reunion. Everyone was enjoying himself, and therefore it was impossible for us to see any of our subscribers. This was the gala week for that portion of the country and everyone was taking advantage of the same. They have a beautiful park, situated on Spring river. There were many refreshment and lunch stands on the grounds, two of which were run by colored men and were as fine as any on the grounds. We found R. J. Weaver and family of Kansas City conducting one of the finest stands in the park, and making money. Mr. Weaver is undoubtedly an enterprising colored man, and we know of no one, white or black, who can surpass him as a business man. Mrs. Wheaton, a substantial widow of Bastur, owns a beautiful home and raises hundreds of chickens each year which net her quite a sum of money. Rev. T. W. Green is building a new church which will be completed before conference. LINCOLN, NEB. Mendames A. P. Curtis and J. W. Bush returned from Denver, last week. George Miller, wife, and brother.

Miss Dale, of Neosho, mo., registered at Riders hotel Tuesday of the past week, looking out for a location for a millinery shop. It is to be hoped that she will be successful as at present we have no dressmaker in the city. William Layette, of St. Louis, was in the city the past week with a view to establishing an undertaking business, and in case he does it in said that he will have a swell hearse, which the Negroes are much in need of.

At the quiet little home of Pate Martin and wife, Lincoln Hutcherson of Granby, mo., was united in holy matrimony to Miss Annie Belle Martin, Wednesday evening at 8:30 p. m. The house was decorated for the occasion and only a few friends were invited. The bride is the daughter of a very prominent family and is well thought of by all. Mr Hutcherson is a very energetic young man, being a miner; and is always found at his post. At 10 p. m. the newly wedded pair boarded the cast bound passenger train for Granby where the groom has a nice little home ready prepared. All express the hope that peace, prosperity and happiness may attend them. Rev. Mrs. B. II. Hawkins and daughter, who have been at Sulphur Springs for their health, returned much improved. Miss Mollie Hawkins left for Langston Institute. The writer of this epistle was one of a large number of people who witnessed a very sorry spectacle at the trans erlast Monday evening. About a half dozen young colored girls about twelve or thirteen years of age had congregated there, and by their boisterous actions attracted the attention of all the bystanders. The usual number of small boys were in evidence and contributed their share to the disgraceful scene. The worst of the whole affair was the fact that the mother of one of the girls was standing near and smiled at the actions of her daughter, instead of doing her duty by taking the child home and finding something for her to do in order to keep her off the streets. Mothers, you need not expect great things of your daughters so long as such actions are courtenanced on your part.

J. B. McNARY Attorney for Plaintiff. Attest: I. S. CURTIS, (Seal.) Clerk Dist. Court. First published August 3, '06. Of the whereabouts of Robert Gideon. He was born in or near the town of Harrisonville, Cass County, Mo. He was a slave and at the out-break 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. L. Gideon, Brocton, Mass., or 302 West Fulton Street, Chicago, Ill. This is his son, who is the owner and originator of Gideon's Refined Negro Minatrels. He is very anxious to learn the whereabouts or 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. W. M. E. JACKSON, M. D. PHYSIOIAN AND SURGEON Office 494 Kennes Ave. OFFICE HOURS 12 M. to 6 P.M. Ind.
