THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. President Roosevelt Acted Hasty in Dismissing Three Companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, and he Should Recall the Order! VOLUME VIII. Held White Ruffians at Bay in Vardaman's State A Manly Stand for Right. HATTISBURG, Miss., Nov. 5. Two men were fatally wounded, over 500 shots were fired in a race riot at Wiggins yesterday. Wm. Smith, a Negro, in resisting arrest, shot and fatally wounded Deputy Sheriff Mitchell. Smith escaped but was captured and placed in jail. Late last night a mob dynamited the structure, fired several volleys into his cell and left the Negro for dead. While the mob was storming the jail, a crowd of Negroes began firing at the besigers. Over 500 shots were exchanged and D. M. Clark, a white man, was fatally injured. Several Negroes are supposed to have been shot. This morning Smith was found alive in the jail, but his arms had to be amputated. NASHVILLE, TENN Oct. 31--Ri en from its grave of forty years, the Ku Klux Klan is beginning to show its head again. A meeting was held last right at Somerville, Fayette county, Tenn., to organize what is called a "White Men's League," for concerted action for protection against a rumored uprising of the Negroos, who are reported to have seized a large consignment of arms. At Brookville, Miss., a production of "The Clansman" was followed by a threat that a Ku Klux Klan organization would be formed. The Negroes took this seriously and organized a band of "Black White Caps." Two white men were ambushed, but escaped with their lives although their horses were killed under them. The Ku Klux Klan threat, which was begun in a joke, has been taken up in earnest. The above shows that the Negroes are taking our advice and beginning to assert their manhood. As we have said all along, if they would buy guns, put them in their houses, join together and stand in a solid force against those rebels of the South, that would soon put a stop to those outrages. This class of whites who form Ku Klux Klan, mobs, etc., that burn and lynch and dynamite, blowing up Negro institutions should be exterminated. As the officers of the law are derelict in their duty in putting down these lawless mobs, and prosecuting those who participate in them, it is the duty of the Negroes to band together as they did at Brookhaven and Hattisburg, Minn. We see as soon as the Negroes rallied their forces, when this white league had organized the Ku Klux Klan to intimidate the Negroes, as soon as the blacks rallied and ambushed a few of the white sealawagans it was given out by the whites that it was only a joke. It was very easy for them to say it was a joke, when they found that the Negroes meant business. We are glad to know that the Negroes at Hattinburg rallied and fired into the mob, killing two of them. We have a later dispatch stating that two of the thugs had died and were then on their way to hell to join his satanic majesty, where they belonged all the time. We hope the Negroes will keep up the good work until every thug and blackleg of this lawless gang of whites is exterminated. We notice that when the Negroes rallied together, there were no Negro houses burned up or Negroes driven from the community, for the better class of white people do not approve of these outrages. As long as this state of affairs continues, just so long will the PLAINDEALER advise stringent measures and remedies to stop them. We have a lot of weak kneed, stupid, cowardly Negroes who do not approve of our style or of the advice we give in this matter. They have tried the educational remedy, the praying, bowing of the knee to the contemptible whites, the wealth remedy, culture, meekness, and everything that could be done to get along, but all has proven of no avail. We are tired of these prayers and supplications; educational and financial remedies having failed, take to the shot gun. It is the safest policy for protection. ROOSEVELT TOO HASTY! Urged to Recall Order Discharging Negro Soldiers Without Honor. We are surprised to learn that President Roosevelt has approved the order for discharging one battalion of the 25th Infantry, stationed at Ft. Reno, because a few of the soldiers asserted their rights as men in protecting one of their comrades against the invasion of a few Texas rebels, where they were stationed. Some of these Negro men have been in the service nearly thirty years, and had fought at San Juan Hill, saving Roosevelt's life and preventing his Rough Riders from being entirely wiped out. We think this is one of the unkindest cuts of all and President Roosevelt has lowered his dignity as a soldier and a statesman in the estimation of those hands of loyal American citizens. We cannot understand his attitude on the Negro question at this time. It seems that since his trip South he has joined hands with the Southern rebels to continue the outrages on the Negro. It was not right nor just to dismine all these soldiers for the action of two or three, and we hope Congress will take this matter up, restoring them to their rights Gov. Hoth, when asked by the manager of THE PRAINDATER to telegraph President Roosevelt, asking that he recall the order discharging the soldiers, said, "I did not know it, and will give the matter my most careful consideration. We next went to Congressman Curtis and made the same request, which was granted, and the message reached the President before his departure for Panama. NICK CHIRES A GOOD SCHOOL The people of Missouri may well be proud of the great work that is being carried on at Lincoln Institute by Pres. Benj. Allen, L. L. D., and his body of splendid instructors. You can go into nearly any portion of the country without finding both men and women employed in prominent and responsible positions, who are graduates of this school. They are there preparing young folks to go out into the world and build up the race, placing it upon a solid footing to make life easy and profitable for those who depend upon them. May Prof. Allen ever continue in his work for the institution, and let both the whites and Negroes see to it that he be encouraged instead of being hampered in the good work. We know the next Missouri Legislature will give them the needed appropriation to carry out their extended ideas of improvement. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 9 1906. KNIGHTS AND LADIES OF THE ORIENT! A Wonderful and Successful Negro Insurance Order---Flourishing in Sixty of the Leading Cities of Kansas---A Blessing to the Race. Hon. John M. Wright, National President of the Knights and Ladies of the Orient, was born at Calvin Cass Co., in the state of Michigan, on the 20th day of April, 1866. In 1872 he came to Kansas with his father, Lloyd F. Wright, locating at Lawrence where he received his early education, and where his father taught school for many years He came to Topeka in 1888 and in 1889 secured a position teaching school, which position he held for several years, when in 1893 he was appointed to a clerkship in the post office. When the administration changed Mr. Wright resigned his position in the post office and shortly thereafter was appointed deputy county clerk In this position Mr. Wright displayed great ability in mastering the detail work of the office. His genial nature and noted affability made him very popular, so that in 1897 without any opposition he was nominated by the Republican party for county clerk and elected by an overwhelming majority. In 1899, he was re-nominated and re elected clerk of Shawnee County. One of the most important acts in the successful career of Mr. Wright was his marriage to Miss Josephine M. HON. JOHN MERCER WRIGHT, National President of the Knights and Ladies of the Ortent, an Organization That is Accomplishing Great Good for the Race. M. Rivers at Kansas City. Mrs. Wright has a sweet musical voice, superb musical attainment, and enjoys with her husband an unbounded popularity. Mr. Wright is now serving as deputy county treasurer a position of honor and trust, and through his hands will pass more than $700,000 of the taxpayer's money of Shawnee county, per annum. Mr. John M. Wright as National President of the Knights and Ladies of the Orient, a fraternal beneficiary life insurance society, is thoroughly interested in the growth and development of the order. His integrity and honesty are unquestionable. Being a man of conservative nature sound and mature judgment and business experience, he is well fitted for the high and honorable position of president of the Knights and Ladies of the Orient The Knights and Ladies of the Orient, a fraternal beneficiary society established among the colored people of this city and state, and incorporated about two years ago under the laws of this state, has demonstrated by its good business methods that it is a thoroughly reliable institution. The rates of life insurance charged to the colored people are considerably in excess of what the white people pay for indemnity, and the object of this institution is to lessen the cost of life insurance to a class of people who as a rule are less able to pay excessive rates The order has established many lodges in the state and is continually increasing them. They have paid their death loss with wonderful promptness, the $75 immediate reliif that their certificates call for has in nearly every instance reached the beneficiary before the funeral, thus rendering temporary aid when it is m at needed, and if all cases the balance of the certificate has been paid just as soon as the death proof could be filled out. This commendable promptness on the part of this order is merely a repetition of their action in every death loss they have had since their organization, and aside from their paying their death losses they have accumulated several thousand dollars in cash and have the same deposited in one of our national banks. The future of the order is most promising, and its field one in which great good can be accomplished. Prof. S G Watkins of this city, for many years Grand Master of the colored Masons of this state, and for over twenty years principal in one of our public schools, is vice president of the order. He is a man held in very high esteem among the colored people of the state, and his name always stands for the right. Mr. A P. Smith, for twelve or fifteen years one of our efficient mail carriers, is also an officer in the order. Rev J. R Ransom, the presiding elder of the African Methodist Episcopal church of this district, is also a national officer. He stands high in church circles and commands the respect of the colored people of the entire state for his labors in religious work. Mr. John M. Ferguson, one of our colored merchants, a successful business man, who has accumulated considerable property in the city, is another officer. Dr. W. E. Jackson, one of our leading colored physicians, is the national medical examiner, and no better selection could be made. The order is growing rapidly, and is most worthy institution, and should receive the very generous support that the colored people of the state are giving it. Late insurance under modern conditions has been no almost a necessity, and the record of this very successful institution furnishes another evidence of the progress of of the West, as well as of the South. The progress of the order has brought out a very generous support of the white people who are members of the great fraternal orders. They invariably advise their colored friends to join the order. The National council of the order is engaged in a great and good work, a work that will mean much in the way of aid and assistance to the colored race in the near future. The rapid growth of the order and the splendid class of people who have joined it and are assisting in the consummation of its most commendable objects and aims guarantee it continued growth and success. Every day we see living illustrations of the need of such an institution among our people. It is frequently the case with our people when the father dies, the wife must go to the wash tub to pay rent and earn a living for herself and children. As a rule in such cases the children are hals fel, half clothed, do not go to school; wander away from home; seek evil companions; and too often become criminals to fill our jails and penitentiaries. The object of our fraternal beneficary life insurance society is to ameliorate this condition of things among our people. We, as a race, as yet do not fully comprehend and appreciate the scope and magnitude of the good to be accomplished for the race through an organization like this. As time rolls on, when here and there a member dies, the money paid as assessment will be disseminated among the race in the payment of death benefits. In a few years as the membership increases, the reserve fund, which is to be invested, will have grown sufficiently large to enable the order to build homes for its members. It is an old saying, but a true one, that the great majority of people do not know what is best for them, and like so many children they will only learn in the school of bitter experience. If the experience and wisdom of years have demonstrated that fraternal beneficiary life insurance is a good thing for the white people, then why should it not be a good thing for the colored people? There are no people more easily in need of the benefits of a fraternal beneficiary life insurance The Republicans of Kannan have elected the entire state ticket and will also control the Legislature by a goodly majority. The Negroes may rest assured that Governor Hoch will do everything in his power to promote the interests of the colored people in Kansas and elsewhere. He assures us that he will take up the fight against Jim Crow laws in the new state of Oklahoma and will go there and speak against it. He will also use his influence in promoting colored applicants to some good paying position within the gift of the party in this state. We believe the Governor has seen his mistake in signing the Jim Crow school law and knows he was imposed upon by a set of white hypocrites from Wyandotte county, as well as others from other portions of the state. We are glad to know that Robinet, who introduced the bill, was defeated at the polls and the only man of Wyandotte who championed the bill, and still holds his own, in Senator Getty; and that is from the fact that Senators are elected for four years and are therefore not re elected this year. The other two who supported the bill have been defeated. This should be a lesson to those who attempt to follow in their footsteps. In fact, most all the parties who supported that bill have been defeated, and thank God that Allman, the Democratic candidate from Atchison county, has, too, been defeated. He was one of the worst enemies the Negroes had in the last Legislature. NUMBER 44. COMES TO JAPS CALL! Uncle Sam Says he Loves the Little Yellow Men and Will See That They Get Justice. We are glad to note that Uncle Sam has at last reached one conclusion, that "He loves the Jap." We would to God that he would say the same things about the Negroes. But he has a reason for saying he loves the Japs, for Japan has a navy and a large standing army; men to use their arms and man the war vessels, whose aim is as true as that of Uncle Sam's most expert marksmen. We are glad to know that Japan has called a halt on Uncle Sam and his great American White God. It is becoming so in this country that nothing can be done and one can hardly exist and enjoy the privileges of free men unless he is white. We think when Japan gets through with Uncle Sam, he will call some of the state rights laws into question. We were always opposed to states rights. It allows the several states to enact laws not conducive to good citizenship and working hardship on certain classes that reside therein. We would like to have the Supreme Court pass on some of these state rights laws. As in the case of Japan on the school question, California claims that under states rights she has a right to separate children in the schools. And there she stands on that proposition. Japan claims that she has no right to separate the children in the public schools under a treaty with the United States. Now, it is up to the United States government and California states rights; see which of the two is right. We are watching this case carefully and the results will be either advantageous to the Negroes and Japanese or disastrous to the United States. This question of white men dominating will moon come to an end. He must expect to place himself on equal footing with all mankind and pass on them according to qualification, wealth, education, culture and refinement, giving them fair play. No class or race can exist always by virtue of their color when compared with that of others, but by their thrift, push and industry they can go on forever. The Japanese have qualifications, a government to stand behind them, and although the Negro fought for the preservation of the Union and the flag, yet Uncle Sam will listen to this city of distress before he would to that of the Negro. President Roosevelt, please see that justice is done our people in this country. It is your duty to speak out on these propositions and not be dictated to by a few stupid, cowardly, Negroes, who live in the South and are afraid to express their convictions. Listen to us Northern colored people. We are the ones who vote for Republicans, placing them in Congress, Republican Presidents in Washington, etc., and know what the conditions of the Negro in the South are and what is needed. They are appealing to Northern brethren every day for kind words in their behalf. President Roosevelt, speak out. ‘WHAT IS IT? ©The Last Lov,” a drama, WHERE 15 IT?

Mrs D T. White, who is teaching school in Praynne, Okla., was in Okmulgoe, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. She is now back at work.

Gathered by the Afro-American Council Louisville, Ky., Oct. 31, 1900. Mr. N Chifea. Topeka, Kansas. Since our New York meeting I have been mainly engaged getting two tracts ready for distribution and getting other pland laid for the winter's work. The feeling of unrest growing out of our racial conditions is awful. The following extracts from letters will explain themselves: Africa-American Council: Dear Brother We are pleased to forward to you this morning $500 from Church of this city for the purpose indicated in your communication. May heaven bless the efforts of the Council. Yours in Christ. To the National Afro-American Council: Deas Brethren in Triubulation—This will inform you that our church is in full sympathy with you and the work in which you are engaged. Earnest prayers were offered to Almighty God on Sunday, October 7th, in behalf of our suffering brothers in the South, and in the meantime we did not forget to pray for our enemies, as we are taught to do by our blessed Savior. We send ten dollars to help the good work. Mil Dear Brother—The enclosed is what we can do now. An effort will be made to organize an ocal council here. Its need was never more fully demonstrated than at this time, the most critical in our racial history. My Dear Duo, Jordan—Yours to hand Same found me quite well, only with a heavy heart thinking over the condition of our people in this country, and the inhuman treatment we are receiving by the hands of those who boast of their civilization and religion. I for one stand ready with my prayers and means to do whatever is possible to be done. I enclosed find one dollar for the work of the Council. May the God of mercy and justice be with you in your meeting. (Kentucky.) Cor. Seey Afro-American Council: My Dear Sir—Your recent communication received We are concerned about condition of affairs in the South and are willing to do everything we can to help the Afro-American Council in its fight for the manhood rights of the race. In consequence of same I have proceeded at once to organize a local council. Enclosed find $325 for the use of the National Council. Rev. L. G. Joshua My Dear Brother —Enclosed find a check for $200 for your noble cause. The proclamation for special prayer relative to our race was duly complied with at each service of my church on the 7th of October. That God will effectually work through the Afro American council for the better ment of our race is the wish and prayer of my people. You in a common cause, On, Say, Afro American Council My Dear Brother—Your letter reached me at a late late from Saturday, the 6th of October. You asked me to send you one dollar to help on the great work in which you are engaged. There is a money order for two dollars and fifty cents, take it in the name of the Lord and use it to the best advantage possible in defense of our race. Mobs are becoming very popular in Louisiana. They hardly honor a Negro enough now to go to the trouble of collecting a mob to lynch him; individuals are now shooting them down, there being no law against it. I do not remember seeing our people more generally despondent than they are now. Do not let anyone make you believe that the picture can be overdrawn. It cannot. The white pulpit is eloquently silent on the question. As I see it, there are two things facing us: segregation or extermination. Without the ballot in our hands we must accept one or the other. The killing of a Negro by a white man in North Louisiana does not even suggest to the authorities an investigation. No longer than last week, about 20 miles from here, a white man went into a Methodist church where the people were holding services, drew his revolver, ordered the congregation to be quiet, picked out his man and shot him to death. For what? Simply because the Negro refused to pull corn in the rain. Many other similar cases I might give, but this is a fair sample of the many heinous crimes committed for which there seems no redress. These cases do not find their way into the newspapers. We would be sater in the jungles of Africa than we are in America. For we could at least try to protect ourselves from the wild beasts. I must stop here. God bless you in your effort to life up a downtrodden people. I am yours for the race. The following enactments by our National Council should commend themselves to and be observed by our people everywhere. Enactments. 1. The establishment of permanent headquarterers at Washington City, where a Secretary and Organizer is to have charge and who shall by every reasonable means urge our friends in Congress to speak out and thereby destroy the influence of all enemies to good government and the American Negro. To keep our own people posted and with pen and voice organize and cry aloud against every injustice aimed at us. 2. The selection of the One Cent Savings Bank at Nashville, Tennessee, R. H. Boyd, President, C. Uapier, Cashier, and the True Reformers Bank, located at Richmond, Virginia, W. L. Taylor, President, and R. T. Hill, Cashier, as repositories for the funds to prosecute the work of the Council. 3. In the future, annual sessions of the National Council shall be held during the month of June, the place to be selected by the Executive Committee. 4. The Corresponding Secretary should proceed at once to publish minutes of the New York meeting, giving these enactments, the "address to the country" and extracts of the various addresses to the public. 5. That we call upon our people everywhere to make the first day of January in each year a special holiday because of the going into effect of the emancipation proclamation issued by President Lincoln in 1961. That we celebrate by song, prayer or any other worthy way the day of our race's delicacy from bondage—infeed our 4th of July. A union of effort along all lines, a willingness to give time to organize local councils, talent to wisely plan for monthly meetings to talk of the best way to best back the title of hate growing out of the misrepresentations of the Lillman, Vardamans, and a prejudicial press now raging against us, than a willingness to give of our money to pay for detectives and lawyers to fight our cause thought the courts, is our only way out. Fault finding against our leaders, living or dead, is not the weapon now, but a union of all our forces. "How to organize a local council" may be had by writing us. Your comrade, L. G. JORDAN, Gen. Secy. and Organizer. 720 W. Walnut St, Louisville, Ky. MILTON F. COLLINS' RESPONSE To Welcome Address to the Prince Hall Grand Lodge at Atchison, Kansas. Most Worshipful Grand Master, Wardens and Brethren—If I was asked to relate the most sublime terms in the English language, I would submit this trio: Mother, Home, and Heaven, for around them center the sweetest thoughts of the soul. When an individual leaves home, however, to sojourn for a period among strangers, neighbors or friends, there is no word that gives him so much pleasure and comfort and appeals to his heart with more favor than that one word, "welcome." On behalf of Prince Hall to and Lodge of Kansas we accept with pleasure your word at welcome. We demonstrated how much we admire your beautiful city when at our last communication we vited to visit your city, when the capital of the state and the great railroad center of the south were aspirants for the honor. Atchison, situated on the Might Missouri, was a heaven of refuge for the Negroes forty years ago who, friendless, homeless and almost hopeless, sought a home among the people of Kansas. They were always welcomed within your gates. We admire your city for the excellence of the churches we see dotting your hills and the school houses decorating your valleys. The wants of mankind are mental as well as physical. Food, shelter, ramenes and a desire for seat do not constitute all of man's desires. Notwithstanding the fact that the Great Architect of the universe spoke amid the darkness and chaos of the world's birth and said, "Let there be light." He subsequently pro- claimed a mighiter injunction, "Let there be mind." Every since the first electric spark of though sped through man's brain he has cherished a daily desire for intellectual growth. Close upon the heels of the pioneer of the West came the teacher and the scholar. While the ground was being played the minds of the boys and girls were taught to reason and to know. The blockhouses were transformed itto school houses. The humble house of worship made of unshapely timber was changed into the beautiful church edifice, whose towering steeples piercing the sunlight in its heavenward course proclaimed the marvelous growth of mind and morals. Ah, Liberty and Republican institution have but two legs on which to stand. The church and the school house; break either and she falls. And Masonry stands for both. We compliment your city again for the excellence of her churches and schools. We appreciate your welcome most heartily, for we realize how dear home is to every individual, and when we are welcomed to your homes, your tables and the association of your families, we indeed feel thrice welcome. The Englishman may sing "God Save the Queen," the German "Watch on the Rhine," the Frenchman "Marcillie," the American "My Country 'Tis of Thee," but the world sings "Home, Sweet Home," and he means his own home. We, the members of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, represent the grandeest institution that ever blessed mankind, of its antiquity and history we are all familiar. Masonry witnessed the coming of Him who spake as never a man spake before; it was old when the soldiers of Caesar landed in Britain, old when Alexander the Great carried the civilization of Asia into Europe; it antedated the days of Rome and Athens; of Confucius, Buddah, David, or Solomon. Again we thank you for your hearty words of welcome and we feel like exclaiming as did our friend and brother Pythagoras who was noted for his knowledge of geometry or masonry, who drew out many problems and theorems, and among the most distinguished he erected this, which in the joy of his heart he called "Eureka," in the Grecian language signifying "I have found it"; in behalf of Prince Hall Grand Lodge I feel like proclaiming to the people of Atchison, "Eureka, we have found it!" Whereas, on the 23rd day of February, 1906, one E. N. Gunn, an attorney of the city of Topeka, Kansas, placed a box, supposed to contain books, in my office, subject to call by a party, name unknown; and said party having not made himself known or called for said box since that time and more than six months having elapsed since said date aforesaid; therefor, I.

The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sifu River recalls the campaign of the civil war. Kuropatkin fortified in the tracks where the battle left him, and so did his enemy. The Russian fortifications are known to be formidable, and doubtless those constructed by the Japanese are equally strong. Early in the civil war the spade was at a discount, but in 1851 both the northern and the southern armies fell to making little pits and breastworks as soon as a deadlock occurred in the fighting. The Confederate General Lee, in his retrograde movement from the Wilderness battlefield to James river, fortified the lines taken up successively at Spotsylvania, North Anna river and Cold Harbor. Grant forged his way up to the Confederate outposts and also fortified his lines. In the end he gave up trying to burst through the enemy's strong barriers and moved forward by the flank. The same methods characterized the Confederate retrograde movement from Dalton to Atlanta, guided by General Johnston. Johnston met every advance of his opponent, Sherman, with strong fortifications. Sherman fortified the ground taken as he pushed his army step by step against the enemy's reserve lines. Prolonged contests always end in a brute struggle for the mastery, and finally the the breastwork, the perjury the place of human bodies to be, millets and shells. In this respect alien warfare has but the name ch. answer to the old problem the spade, the spade. Sending Christmas Presents by Mail. The approach of the Christmas season brings anything but pleasant anticipations to the railway mail clerks who handle the thousands of presents sent through the mails. Their labors are greatly increased by the imperfect manner in which a large percentage of the packages are put up, in many cases being so poorly tied that they come apart long before they reach their destination. Speaking of it the other day, a mail clerk said if people would take the trouble to put the article in a box it would save a great deal of unnecessary worry and labor at a time when the clerks are badly overworked, and the present would reach the person for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A shoe or a cornet box or a breakfast food carton makes a package of convenient size for handling in the mails Glass, china or fragile articles of any description should be packed in wooden boxes. Packages should be securely tied and plainly marked with the address of the sender In the upper left hand corner. Postage should be fully prepaid, 1 cent an ounce for merchandise and 1 cent for two ounces on printed matter, including books, photographs, pictures, etc. Federation in Central America. Some of the politicians and party leaders of Central America are reported to be making determined efforts to secure a union of the five republics of that region in an offensive and defensive alliance against the whole world, with the particular purpose of resisting imagined encroachments upon their rights and territory by the United States. Aggression by this country is not at the present time so threatening as to demand the formation of such an alliance, but a union of the states between Mexico and the isthmus would undoubtedly injure to the benefit both of those states themselves and of their larger neighbors. It would give a much greater assurance of permanent peace among them than now exists. The federation movement received a considerable impetus from the recent convention at Port Corinto, at which Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras were represented. Costa Rica sent no delegates to this meeting, but her eminent men express themselves as in hearty sympathy with the federationists. This country is not alone in having a serious immigration problem with which to contend. England has discovered that within a comparatively short time she has convicted over 18,000 aliens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $000,000. Furthermore, the infux of aliens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tollers. Many of the aliens are paupers and become a burden upon the communities where they settle. Brigadier General Story, chief of artillery of the United States army, makes the encouraging announcement that our new coast defenses render our large cities as nearly impregnable as Port Arthur. He insists, however, that more artillerymen are needed to keep the forts and their guns in their present state of efficiency. The dalai lama is reported to have arrived in Russian dominions, but he didn't take his late kingdom with him. Great Britain had a string on that. The muskrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the usual 'all kinds of' weather. ncorporated Under the Laws of Kansas.

Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or cell house, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep as they may heat and rot. A 16x12 space will hold a big wagon head safely. Who real cold weather sets in we heath in a bushelfish with an id and feed them to the laying home.

Cut the tops of two long corks into wedge shape, insert the corks firmly in the necks of two bottles of equal height and place the bottles on the table about ten inches apart with the edges of the corks parallel to each other. Now try to balance a table knife on one of the sharpened corks. If you succeed, reject that knife and try one with a heavier handle, for we must have two knives that will not balance unaided. Having found two such knives, hold them level on the corks with their points almost in contact, moving the bottles if necessary, and set on their points a small, thin 234 wineglass or tumbler containing just enough water to make the whole affair balance when you take your hands off it. So far you have accomplished a striking and "ticklish" balancing seat and that is all. Now attach a bullet, coin or any small heavy object to a thread, carefully lowering it into the water in the little glass. As soon as the coin touches the water the glass begins to go down, the knives turning like seasaws on the corks, and the more of the coin you submerge the lower goes the glass, so that if the coin is large you will have a smash before it is half under water. But you can pull it up at any instant. As you do so the glass follows as if it were glued to the coin, and so you can keep it scesawing up and down. Perhaps the reason of this is not clear to you. The coin is held up by the thread and does not touch the glass, so how can it affect it? Well, the coin is not held up by the thread alone. The part that is under water is held partly by the thread and partly by the water, which buoys it up with a force equal to the weight of an equal bulk of water. The coin, therefore, precesses the water and consequently the glass downward with an equal force. Now, when you pull out the coin this extra weight is taken off, so the glass rises to its original position. Birds With Teeth. Birds are simply reptiles which have shed their scales and teeth, grown wings and feathers and invaded the dominion of air. The very oldest bird of which science has any record had very sharp teeth, rather weak wings and a long tail adorned with twenty pairs of quill feathers. Some of these birds were not able to fly at all, and they nearly all lived on fish. Gradually as they developed through centuries they grew more feathers, longer and stronger wings, lost their teeth and got sharp, hard bills instead. There were no birds before the repellant age, and every bird that files today traces its ancestry back to a sharp toothed snake. So the old joke, "As long ago as when bens bad teeth," is not so much of a joke after all. Hcw He Guards His Nest. There is nothing very remarkable about the bird known as the crested flycatcher, as far as appenrance goes. He wears a crest coquettish upon his pretty head, and from under it his eyes look particularly large and bright. His name is crested flycatcher, and what has made him especially noted is his little peculiarity in arranging his nest. When he has completed the building of his nest he hunts about until he finds the castor skin of a snake. This he carries to his nest and fastens there as a sort of decoration. It has been surmised that his chief object in doing this is to frighten away any intruders. Although not old enough to go to school, Willet had some knowledge of arithmetic, gained chiefly by doing organds. One day as he was repeating so himself the number facts with which he was familiar he was heard to say: "Twelve make a dozen and six make a pound." "Six what make a pound?" some one asked teasingly.

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick headache, or any of the distressing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an exhausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no disagreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. "For a long time I have suffered greatly with spells of bakeache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I began the use of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills, and they always relieve me a great deal. They are used them with the same results." MIS PARK, 721 B. Michigan St., South Bend, Ind.

Governor Hoch made no promise as to what he would do, but it is not likely that he will interfere in the matter. He said today: "I have not considered his proposition, and do not care to say what I will do." Nick Chiles said: "We are going to get Roosevelt to reconsider this immoral of the Negro troops, and if Roosevelt won't, we will take it into Congress" — Topeka State Journal. KANSAS CITY. KANSAS The most suitable lecture that has ever been delivered here was given by Dr. S. Giggs of Nashville, Tennessee. Although he had a large crowd, every one of the 10,000 colored people in our city should have heard him. He is certainly one of the most intelligent speakers of our race. The Federation of Sewing Circles called together by Mrs. Elth Edmonds, president of the First Baptist Circle, was a success. There was a large number of ladies present from churches of different denominations. Mrs. Allie Booth Smith is visiting Miss Braxton. Miss Emma Williams has returned from Chicago. Miss S. Smith of Lawrence is here visiting relatives. The Volunteer Club, with Mrs. Walker as president, will give a mass quarrel social and short classical program at the Metropolitan church. Mrs. Matthews will be mistress of ceremonies. The Smith night school seems to be growing from all indications. They have prevailed on Mrs. Matthews, an expubic school teacher, to teach them for a while. Mrs. Emma butter is visiting her son Charles, in Sacramento, Calif. Mrs. M. C Walker of Atchison visited her sister at 921 Washington avenue on Tuesday and Wednesday. Prof Vernon, Registrar of the Treasury, Washington, D. C., is said to have made the finest speech that has ever been made in the Auditorium. He spoke also to the most enormous crowd that has been there. His speech was eloquent, suitable and appropriate. He received gerat ovations. At the Metropohtan election dinner Mrs. Matthews on a short notice of 8 hours rallied a force of enough friends to sell $21 worth of dinner tickets. This is more than any other woman or man has sold singly in so short a time. Mrs. Known, the president, was much pleased with her work. The Lighth Street Baptist church gave a successful election dinner. The A. M. E. church have decided not to have anything but praise service on Thanksgiving. James Bryce, M. P., can speak more or less perfectly in sixteen languages. Diliphan N. Potter, nephew of Bishop Potter, has purchased a seat on the New York Stock Exchange. Alfred Dennett, who once owned restaurants in many cities from Boston to San Francisco, is insane in the latter city. William H. Baldwin recently finished his thirty-seventh year as president of the Young Men's Christian association of Boston. Judge Alton B. Parker is now fifty-two years of age. He has scarcely a wrinkle in his face and looks like a man who has taken life easily. A popular Japanese student at Harvard is Otohiko Matsukata, a member of the baseball squad. His father was a former minister of finance in Japan. William Booth, commander in chief of the Salvation Army, began his seventy-fifth year on April 10. Mr. Booth was born in Nottingham, England, and preached his first sermon in the open air when not twenty years old. E. P. Harris of Topeka, the only living man who set type on the first paper published in Kansas, has been celebrating his semicentennial as a printer. For fifty years he has worked continuously at his trade and is still able to turn out a respectable "string" Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the famous chief of the statistical bureau of Paris, has written a volume entitled "Alcoholism and the Way to Light It." Drink, he declares, is likely to prove the ruin of the French race unless something is done to overcome the habit. Camille Felletan, the French minister of marine, is noted as a typical Bohemian. He has spent a good part of his life in the Latin quarter, and even now, though compelled to live in the magnificent palace of marine, he frequently entertains his Bohemian friends. CURIOUS CULLINGS. This rather disheartening sign was displayed to the view of customers in a fish store in lower Sixth avenue, New York; "Boy Wanted to Open Oysters Sixteen Years Old." The organ of one of the churches in Belfast having refused to work, investigation revealed the presence of a large eel in the exhaust pipe. It was of course dead, and there is no explanation as to how it got there. A Parisian who has been much annoyed by duns has connected his bell handle with a powerful electric battery and switches on the current at psychological moments. So far the police have declined to interfere. A large stock of quail settled down on Main street, Los Angeles, Cal., right in the business heart of the town. They were soon frightened away and sailed off toward the hills. The oldest inhabitant is trying to cudgel up a precedent for this unusual thing. Aerial dinners are now the fashion in Paris. M. Santos-Dumont recently gave one at which the tables and chairs were suspended from the ceiling by wires, the waiters walked on stilts and the plates and dishes were raised on lifts. The guests got into their seats by means of stepladders. TIMELY TOPICS. An English railway expert is astonished to find that the "one idea of your railways is to 'get there.'"

If there is an express or implied notice to the purchaser that an agent has no authority to collect money, a payment will not bind the principal. (107 Ill. App, 82) Where a contract recites the payment of $1 as its consideration, it is valid, although the sum was not actually paid, as it creates an obligation which can be enforced by the other party. (44 S. E. Rep, 885) When a debtor offers a creditor a certain sum in satisfaction of all demands and the creditor gives a written acceptance of the same, there are accord and satisfaction, though the creditor states in accepting it that he cannot accept it in full settlement. (85 So. Rep, 162) THE ROYAL BOX. There is only one woman admiral in the world. The queen of Greece is an admiral in the Russian navy. The Princess Victoria of Wales is said to make as fine Welsh rabbits as can be produced, and the royal family enjoys them. King Edward never partakes of butter or tea with milk. He prefers it in the Russian fashion, with a piece of lemon instead of milk.

Dear Sir, I wish to speak through your most interesting paper, a paper that all colored people should have sent to their homes. Through this great paper they can find out where prejudice exists against them and when our people go traveling they know where to go. I have read every colored paper in the country, and find that the Topeka Plain-dealer points out all the welfare of the race and tells you where your race is. I find that Nick Chiles is something on the order of Robt. Motts, a man who invested between $14,000 and $40,000 to have something worth having to benefit the colored people. I want to say here that when our people and friends are in Chicago and want places of amusement to go to, don't forget this $40,000 playhouse owned and run by Mr. Robt. Motts colored, who has shown that it can't be beat by any white opera house in Chicago. Now don't think the Polém is run on the same style as before remodeled. It is now the finest in the United States. They have sixty on the pay roll, running from $10 to $10 a week. Mr. Motts deserves great credit for being the only colored man in the United States having an opera house of his own and it on perfect order. If you don't believe it, just refuse to pull your hat off, on to keep order. He instructs all employees to be polite and see that order is kept. I don't praise this man because we are friends on I receive passes for he doesn't know me. I only know him by sight. I pay my money to see his plays, but it is because he has done so much to get a place where his people could go without the line drawn, that I write this to my friends who come to this city. Here are two opera houses that draw the line, the Alhambra and the Columbus. They are to one side, the same as Missouri. I receive passes to these white opera houses, two each week, and have a chance to see what is going on free, but I pay my way to the Pekin in order to show my appreciation to him. We have a large number of colored people in business here, all doing well. I am proud to see you, Mr. Editor, advocate dynamite for the South. That also is my doctrine. If our people of the South would learn to use dynamite bombs and throw them into a mob, you would see a great change in the South. You have to die anyway, even if you have not done anything. If you buy guns the white people will take them away from you and then kill you the same as they would a dog so long as you have to die, take plenty of company with you. If the Italian takes your place in the South you will see him throw a few bombs. So a word to the Negroes of the South—be an Italian for once in life. Well, Mr. Chiles, go on with your work. Ada also colored people to vote for men or the North, who won't advocate your downfall after they get elected to office, for the Southern white man runs for office in order that he might make laws against the Negro, so he can be a mighty king among his other rebel cats. I praise the Negroes for revenge on Seneca, S. C., also the Negroes who were the cause of the play, the "Clansman," at Philadelphia being stopped. That is the way to do business in the South. Dr. Barnes, one of the best colored dentists in Chicago, who has more practice than he can do, took time to step down to Little Rock, Ark, and bring back one of the prettiest brides of the South. We wish them bright and happy lives in the future. When here call and see Dr. Barnes Office 3531 State. He can fit your mouth out for smiling Mr. Daniel Francis, formerly of Kansas City, who killed his wife and another lady, was hung on Oct. 12th. He died game, singing and saying it was the happiest day of his life. That he wanted to die and had found peace with God. I had railroaded with Mr. Francis, farmed with him, too. He was very quiet and peaceable, therefore I was sorry for his downfall.

The New Japanese Code. Notamhize Hozumi, professor of law in the University of Tokyo, in a paper on the new Japanese code read at the recent international congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis gave an interesting exposition of the manner in which the Japanese have sought to conform their legal system, to western ideas. The method employed has been conservative, recognizing for the time being some of the most firmly implanted of the old customs rather than inviting by an attempt to revolutionize everything a reaction which might defeat the purpose of the new code. WE WANT About the year 700 a legal code, based upon Chinese moral philosophy, with the cult of ancestor worship and the feudal system, was drawn up and promulgated. This code, with some minor changes, continued in force until the beginning of the nineteenth century. A system of such antiquity naturally had to be reckoned with by the drafters of the new code, though their task was somewhat simplified by the fact that the old laws had never been published. They had been made for the edification of the judges and other officials. The decree promulgating the new preliminary code after the restoration of the emperor in 1868 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1878, the emperor's subjects, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "henceforth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the people," making it evident to the Japanese that their government was to be from that time one of laws and not of men. 6,000 The legal condition of women was one of the most complicated problems which confronted the revisionists. Both Buddhism and feudalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three obediences was strictly enforced under the old law—in childhood a female was subject to her father, in youth to her husband, after her husband's death to her sons. A woman had no legal rights which her husband or sons were bound to respect. More Men, Women and Children to Read and Pay for In dealing with this question the drafters of the new code made a clean sweep of tradition and established legal rights for women similar to those of the most advanced European nation. Unless otherwise stated in the marriage contract, the property of a woman at the time of her marriage now remains here. She may also acquire property after marriage and hold it in her own name. There is no distinction between the legal rights of an unmarried woman and a male citizen. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of divorce. THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER In the maintenance of the "house," a survival of the old clan system, the new code has been less radical. The unit of state in Japan is still the family rather than the individual, but the powers of the head of the house now are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subordinate members. Any member of the house may own property and on his death leave it to his heirs, where formerly it reverted to the head of the clan. It is believed that in time the "house" will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the medieval customs of Japan in the limbo of the past. A French authority on European affairs, M. Yves Guyot, predicts in the North American Review that Russia will hereafter encounter hostility in attempting to float war loans. He says that the French investors are now awake to the fact that the Franco-Russian alliance is a one sided affair, so far as advantage goes, and that Russia has flooded that country with her bonds. Russia's weakness is so manifest, says M. Guyot, that the limit of faith in her future will soon be reached in France. Russia still has an immense gold reserve to fight on, and the end of the war is not likely to come soon because of her financial straits. Yet failure of credit in the house of friends is not a pleasant prospect for a nation situated as Russia is. Liberal Commission to Energetic Our neighbors on the north seem not at all given to the worship of imported greediness. Some time ago England sent over a titled major general to reorganize the Canadian militia, and the colonial premier plainly told his lordship that he was not wanted. In the late national election the Laurier administration, which anubbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the incident. AGENTS Net alone St. Louis, but the whole country, may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The labors of the projectors and managers have been appreciated, and millions of people have added to their stock of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten. The correspondents in the far east, having nothing better to do, seem to be amusing themselves by inventing new and more tantalizing ways of spelling the names of Manchurian villages.

SICK) ACCIDENT AND NURIAL HENEPIT PAPARTMINT, The sick, accident and burial de partment ot the order was organi? xt for the purpose of wffording protece on to the members in case of eick+ ness ur accident and to pay funcral benefit in case of death, Many lodges endeavor to pay sick, accident and burial benefit when they are really unavle to doso, and collect but little more than is necessary for their running expenses, The demand for aid and aasistaica in case of sickness or accident has been so great that our actuary was requested to investigate the matt r and formulate a certificate giving substantial beoefits to our members who desire to avail themselves of this most excellent protection. After some four months work and investi gation, we are now prepared to issue to our members a policy carrying more substantial benefits than any sick and accident policy issued by any order, Members are eligible from 15 to 55 years of age. if in sound bodily health and not engaged in prohibited occupation. It is ar tanged so that a member, in case of disabling sickness or accident, will receive the sum of fz to $6 50 per week, or equivalent to about from $9 per month to £20 per month. Unde the burial benefit any and all persons carrying the certificate will receive $50 Incase uf accident al death the sum of $100 to 8500, and in the event of the luss of hoth hands, both bands or both eyes, by either accidt or disease, from $200 to $250, depending on the amuunt of the certificate the member carries This class of insurance is most important and especially av to people of modern means; to the wealthy man the expense and loss of time, etc, on account of sickness or accl- dent, is a matter of no concern, but toa poor man, earning from $30 to $50 per month, and having « wife and one ortwo children, if he be~ comes disabled from sickness or ac- cident far Irom one to three months hia income or ealary of course slope, and if, as in many instances, he lives ma rented house, und is unable to satisfy the landiord as well as the grocerymen, he and hishelpless fan ily are contronted by a condition thas is mndeed rerivus, Tf, however, for a small payment each month a member carries a weekly indemnity amounting to fiom $§ § ty $20 per month or even more, itena'lvahimto pay the moderate house reat that a p urman usually pays, and leaves enough to provision tho family during his spell of sick- ness or disalility resulting from disease eseccijent Ifa member carries a sick and accident pohcy, the local lodge ts selieved from furuising as- aistance Iatheevent f childbirth the order pay bevefita under the terms and conditions of tts certificate, This no other organization dove, and we are alone in aiding our members at a time that a cash benefit is moat ac- ceptable, btatistics show that there are seven accidents and 225 cases uf sickness fo every death, and that every litth mans disab ed, either temporarily or permanently, by some aceident or illness Members wi'l greatly appro ciute the benefits of thts policy, es~ pecially backed ae at is by a strong aud constantly increasing cath ree Serve fund tha guarantees prompt payment aa compared with the many little local a3 aciates having no fi- Nanalatrenyth and timeted member.
