Jack Daniela, wh is interested in mining, is digging ore from his mines, and fa making some money, Ho may atrike it lucky, if he docs he will be a rich msn. V. G. Smith; who hae charge o! the Elks’ club, is an industrious and energetic young man, His wife, and sister had juet returned from St. Paul, where they attended the G. A. R. encampment, and were greatly benefitted Ly the experience of seeing the good citizens of the Northwest, Mr, and Mre. Smith are among the leading people of Galena, They are just enjoying their honeymoon, haying been mar- ried a little over two years, They are comfortably situated and we must say that she is one of the neat- esl houeckeepers we have ever met. They occupy a fiveroom cottage, beautifully furnished with the best of furniture, and silverware and cut glasx, which is valued at ecveral hundred dollars, Thia showa what & progressive young couple can do if they will only try. There are other young people who bive been married for years, and who could do just as well if they wish, Wealeo met S, G, Martin, 8 pros: pector in zinc and lead mines, He has made considerable moncy slong this line of business, and parties having a little will power and money would do well to confer with him, and if they should happen to strike a good vein of sinc ore they would become rich. We are sorry that we did not get to moet our friend, Poynter, who owns some blooded horses and a great deal of property inthe town. This is aleo the home of Sergt, Major T. H. Young of the Tenth Cavalry, who owns a beauti- {ul home, and je ono of the most highly respected citizens of Galena. He is doing much to build up the K. of P, in that section of the atate, Our friend, Rev, R. R, Howard, 46 pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, and has an excellent congregation. He has call from Yale, but his people are reluctant to give him up, ! AT FT, SCOTT, Our next stop was at Fort Scott, where the colored poople aro making rapid progress. Thie ta the home of Dr, B, A. McLemore and Dr, M, G, Brookins, who enjoy the dis. tinction, we think, of having the Dest practice in the state. It is not confined to any particula: race or nationality, Dr. McIemore ia one of the wealthiest colored physicians in this country, owning severe! hun- derd acres of valuable farm land within a mile or two of Ft, Scott, He ships from two to three car all this wealth Ly attending strictly to business and being affable and courteous to everyone, He isa firat class practitioner. Dr. Brookins isthe coming young physician, and was recently nomi- nated for coroner for the second term. ‘The position pays from 8400 to #5000 year, Iutas his practice is so urgent that he haw declined rerominstion. Many white friends avwellas colored ones ate wgieg hin tocecept. "This is an instance where a colored iain refures oftice Dootre it interferce with his) bua next, Dt, Brookins owns a besutis fal home and other property in Ft. Scott. We ate under rainy obliga. tions to Prof, E, J. Hawkina, who auristed us in our collecting, Most of te colured people of Ft. Scott own their homes. There are egyeral prosperous farmers in Bour- bon county. We had the pleasure of meeting Benjamin I’. Bruce, why owns ninety-neven acren of good, well-stocked land, Ie is comfotta- bly fixed, and can rest on a rainy day. At this place we met the Mother's Aid society, an organisa. tion recently established among the mothers of the section for the purpose of looking after the decrepit old people, and the young who are needy, This was their third annual session and Tols, Mound City and several adjoining towna were repre. sented, It convened at Shiloh Bap- tist church, Tho society has pur- chased s valuable piece of property in Ft. Scott, consisting of six lots and‘a fivesroor house, all paid for except about #138. When com- pleted and equipped it will have cost about $3,000, These mothers arc interested in the upbuilaing of children, and in looking after tho aged. They aro prepariny to form a circle around their daughters that wi}l be so atrong that no young man without proper qualifications can enter their homes, The following are the general officers: Mrx. KE. A. Hill, pres; Mr, Florence Good- all,|aco'y; Mrx, Fields of lola, vice pres.; The organization is charter. ed and will takein any town or city that may wich to join then, We advise all motherg, and women who are interested in the upbuilding of young women and the assistance of the old to get into this rocicty, Two ladies, one a Republican, the other a Democrat, are ranming for superintendent of schools in Bourbon county. ‘They are estimas ble, refined and cultured, snd the schoola would be safe in the hinds of cither, Wesley Stewart is conducting a successful lunch counter in Ft Scott.

We arrived at Pittsburg on Sun- day day and stopped over until To nn dar Ot. £. thn thames at tbem.: CONTINLED ON PAGE 4. NO NEGRO HARRIS CLUBS IN KANSAS | The most surprising thing heard in this campaign is tho statement given out by the Democrats, that Negro Harris cluts sre being or- ginized over the state. We had the plersure of visiting the town where one was reported to Ve in good running order, and to ou arprise we only found two mantere, the president and seere- tary, who ara furmebing glaring reports each week to the Deriocratic hewdyuarters of the hundreds of suppored colored roters coming inte the Democratic camp, Inconversstion with the ofoers, they adimitted that it ishard to get a colored man te vote for an ex-rebel for frovenur, espectally one, whe fought for Jeff Daves and the per. petsaton of slavery. If Col. Marris had carried out his conviction a2 what he fought for, slavery would exist today and Col. Harris, would be one of the largest siave holders in the United States to day, Ie father was the owner of many and young Harrie quit the military achool in Virginia at the first call of Jeff Davis and was in the fret battle of Bull Run, So eager was he to assist in holding slaves, that he soon merited big honors for bravery. He was soon promoted to bea colonel, No Negro cau at ford at this time to aupport a party that Tillman, Vardman, Dixon, John Sharp Willisms and a large hostof Southern devils predominate, and who wantthe Negro debarrad from every priviledge.

We find, after debating the question as to tbe beat policy to persue te make the party do right, is not by gaining such men as Hoke Smith, Tillman and othere, but to fight it ont in your own party, ‘it it taken all summer,” The Republican party is bigger than any one man in it,and ‘ia due time will assert it's indepen. dence, The rebels are coming North and are sowing the aced of discord.

His Right to Earn a Livkhood 4s Being Swept Away— | White Men Are For- | cing Him Out, Below is an editorial from the Masiland Breeze which epeaka for iteclf, We understand that the Inbor unions of the Missouri Pacifio lave compelled the officials of that road to crase employing all colored train portuis, ‘This shows that the avanige white man dvex not want to he fair and believes that might is right. ‘The very idea of ostracieing a class of people merely because ey wero slaves amd pour an down. trodden, je more than wo onu under. atand, dnd ina supposed Christian ea civilized country, too. We shall always gontend that tho white piao’a, cs in America is a farce, and is only intended to build up the strong and crush the weak. The Mail and Breeze ease: MRE BO i Na a al a The Mail and Breeze ease: It is reported that the Missouri Pacitic railroad ia replacing its col= ored train porters with white men. There is a great deal of talk about railroad rates, trusts and trade dis— criminations which are without — doubt great and important problems but we carnot get rid of the notion that the gravest question facing the people of this country today is the rave question, ‘There seems to be a growing dis- position to shut off the opportunities of the black man. Trades that once knew him hardly know him now. There was atime when the majority of the barbers wero black, now the Negro barber ix the exception rather than the rule, About the only line where the Negro still acome ta have @ monopoly in the portering business on sleeping cars, The Southern leadera no longer conceal their intention to deprive every Negro of the tights guaranteed him by the constitution of the Vaited States. Following this is the ayowed purpore of thee aame Southern levers to take away from him the opportunities for education and following that will be the pure pose already gropping out, to de~ prive him of the opportunity to ac= oumulate proporty, for it is certain that if the Negroca accumulate property they cannot be kept in ignorance. If they are not allowed the opportunity to educate their children at homo they will send them where they can be educated and if they become educated they cannot always be deprived of their consti~ tutional rightae Complaint is made that a great many of the Negroes are idle, worthless and criminal. But what is tobe expected of them if the door of opportunity is shut in their faces? The more they are shut out from opportunities to work the more they will tend to idleness and crime, We are no alarmist but it seems plain to us that the purpose of the leaders in the South is to put the Negro in a condition bordering on slavery, They propose to make him and his children and his childrer’s children hewersof wood and drawers of water and ata rate of wages that will simply anable them to exlat. They propose to baild up a white aristooracy based on black labor, nomitally free but really slave. In our judement they ure sowing the aced from which will be gathered » crop of woe by and by. Injuetice may triumph for a long time but in theend right will prevail, There has Leen a mountain of wrong snd injustice pid on the back of the Wick man, It has cost thiv country already a million of lives and more than 10 billions of money and if fuetice iw still denied in the end we OMAHA, NEBRASKA.

The percentage of increase in first day of rollmnt over last year was no per cent, and over two years ago was 75 per cent. That they come in numbers daily. A very desirable and commonable feature about the students enrolling in the university is the conspicuous absence of that instictive spring 'dule element of young men and women who have an attested honor for work and a great love for form, fashion and nausea then for getting down to actual business. The students coming in are a solid, substantial, gratey, determined looking set of high school graduates who have come with lotty ideals, willing and anxious to get into the business, and bent on working with brain and muscle for the mastery of their studies and chosen occupation. To master the how and why are the ones they are seeking, to go on and up to the highest is their aim. The very atmosphere—the contagious spirit which pervades the institution and inspires and encourages every student—is to work with head, heart and hand; to get the results for which they have come; to make the actual showing in themselves to parents and home communities. A University Forum, with Prof. Archie Gregg as chairman of promotion committee and Rev. Vaughn and Mrs. F. E. II. Wasson as assistant, has been organized. A schedule of lectures every Sunday afternoon in our Auditorium has been arranged with distinguished white and colored citizens, who will enlighten our students and visiting city friends upon the important questions of the day and hour. Everybody is invited to attend. Mrs. Fannie E. Motion of Topeka will appear before our students next week in a recital of many high class elocution selections. Young ladies, especially the teachers in public schools, and young men with spare hours in the evenings will find it most profitable and pleasant to study the Ben Pitman System of Shorthand—the American System—this winter by mail.

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 omvement. 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.

This was an appropriate consideration of the War department, sending these two troops to the celebration of the anniversary of one who died that the Negro as well as the whites should have liberty. The G. A. R. Post banqueted Capt. A. M. Fuller one evening this week. It was one of the most elaborate affairs ever held in Topeka, and a glowing tribute to one of the best men in the state. Capt. Fuller is the originator of the Flambeau club, an organization that has been in existence for over twenty years. He was one of the sturdy youngsters who left his work in response to Lincoln's call for men to save the Union, and forever put an end to human bondage. He served his country with honor and distinction. Capt. Fuller has served Shawnee county as sheriff, and at present is city passenger agent for the Rock Island. We visited Cherokee, and found a few of the colored people owning good homes and prosperous. This was our first trip to this place, and as our time was limited, we had to cut short our visit, but, on the whole, we found a good, law-abiding, progressive people, who stand for right and strive to help every cause that is for the upbuilding of the race. They believe in educating their children, thus fitting them for the combat to gain their rightful places among other races of the earth. May Cherokee, Kansas, U.S. and the world succeed in raising up men and women of our race who will be creditable to themselves, their parents and their countries. Black Champions The famous Topeka Giants have returned from their miraculously successful trip. They will play the Chicago Union Giants three games next week, also a game at Tonganoxie, one at Baldwin and one at Valley Falls. This time they intend to even up matters with the Chicago Giants, for they cannot forgive them for beating them, if only once, and that time a close shave. The Giants have played altogether this season 190 games, out of which they have lost only sixteen, a here- tofore unheard of record made by any team, giving a percentage of 854. They will further try to break the record by winning one hundred games before the season closes. This may sound like a fairy tale, but, remember, these are Jack Johnson's Giants. That accounts for it.

If you cannot, it is due to an irritated or congested state of the brain which will soon develop into nervous prostration. Nature demands sleep, and it is as important as body; it is a part of her building and sustaining process. This period of unconsciousness relieves the mental and physical strain, and allows nature to restore exhausted vitality. Dr. Mike Nervine brings refreshing sleep, because it soothes the irritation and removes the congestion. It is also a nerve builder; it nourishes and strengthens every nerve in your body, and creates energy in all the organs. Nothing will give strength and vitality as surely and quickly as Dr. Miles' Nervine. "This is the joint winner I did two attacks of latrithpe which I it no very weak, and in bad condition. I was so nervous I could linger up. My wife, after taking different remedies, went for a day out. The doctor was out, and a neighbor was unbended Dr. Mijes, Norvine and also a friend came a bottle.
