THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. nr 23 Historical Society State House RO Roosevelt Dischargin ROOSEVELT The Press and Public are Unanimous in Denouncing His Hasty Act. A calle cision were Ten Not impo poss as the prec take color Amer a b infau with right gover paper was t tecre fever disc Mau A great deal of discussion is called forth by the president's decision that the colored soldiers, who were in the revolt at Brownsville, Texas be discharged without honor. Nothing in army circles has been so important and far reaching in its possible results has occurred recently as the action seems to be most precedent. Naturally, it takes in regard to the position of colored troops in the American war have arise from a battalion of the Texas infantry who are to be discharged without honor, thereby giving the right to civil employment by the government. A number of newspapers have pointed the fact that it was this same regiment that "volunteered to face the sojourge of yellow fever under conditions that made the disease more to be dreaded than Mauser bullets." This is a mistake. It was the Twenty-fourth infantry that was ordered to the fever stricken Silhoune after the assault on San Juan Hill, in which it lost three officers and ten men, and had four officers and seventy-one men wounded The story of its heroism in the fever camp has been told by an officer as modest as he is brave, Major Alfred C. Markley, but it is buried in the report to the War department made in 1898 by the major general commanding the army. "Sixty-five nurses were needed for the pest camp. in addition to seventy nurses and attendants for the hospital proper. Capt. A. A. Augur, of Company H, called for volunteers for the pest camp, after explaining the risks of the service. 'Fifteen gallant fellows,' said Maj. Markley, 'responded from his company, and this fine example soon produced more than were needed for all purposes.' The record of that black regiment in the pit of horror called Siboney transcends in heroism anything done by any charging soldier on the bullet swept and sunlit field of San Juan, with the inspiring colors streaming in the wind. Out of 456 enlisted men, only twenty-four escaped sickness. The sick often went on duty with the well. No one faltered, none made excuses. They nursed the sick they dug graves, they buried the dead men of the Twenty-fourth among them. On August 8, the heroic medical officer in charge, the even-tempered, sanguine, indefatigable La Garde, who never seemed to sleep, broke down and was attacked with the fever. His oss was of the sort to breed panic, but the same fortitude and devotion was shown by all ranks to the end. * "When the day came at last to entrain nine officers and 198 men marched to the cars with the regimental band playing and the colors flying. In view of the display of a higher order of valor in the fever camp at Siboney, is it not fitting to regard the Twenty-fourth as a regiment worthy of a place in that heinic brigade." "At a time when a battalion of Negro troops may be surrendered by a scratch of the peasant the sin of not turning informers' for such is the indictment against the battalion as a whole, it is a duty to rerestrict from forgotten records such a story as that of the Twenty-fourth infantry in the hope that a precedent will not be set which, if followed, would de moral zee of the Negro regiments of the United States army. They have distinguished themselves on VOLUME VIII. IS WRONG! TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 30. 1906. If fat Mr. Taft never does anything else commendable in all his life, he should be embalmed in praise for his action in holding up the discharge of the Negro troops, for there was never a more high handed, unjust action than that taken by President Roosevelt. Two or three members had been guilty of an infraction of the law, and although it was not proved that the other soldiers even knew about the trouble or the identity of the trouble makers, the whole company was put under arrest, and dishonorable discharge threatened unless the culprits were exposed. Aside from the fact that a majority of the company very likely knew nothing about the affair, and could not have given the information had they wanted to, it was no a fair or maudly request to make of soldiers. Even boys are bound to secrecy in such matters by a code of honor definile and unchangeable and how much more must men shrink from playing the tattle tale. It has been proved that the Negro makes a good soldier, taking an almost pathetic pride in his uniform and weapons, and in the case of the Brownsville troops, they were particularly fine. Some men had served for twenty-five years, and the company had enjoyed a good reputation for general sobriety and decent behavior. And yet, for an offense so slight as mere reticence, dishonorable discharge, loss of pensions, etc., were to be their portions. It is to be sincerely hoped that investigation will develop the President's lack of power to so peremptorily discharge troops, and even if it is shown that he does possess the proper authority, let us pray that his bullheadness will have abated by the time he returns.—K.C. Independent. About 600 citizens of Pueblo, Colo., assembled in mass meeting to protest against the action of the President in discharging the three companies of colored soldiers at Lt. Reno. The feature of the meeting was the address of Attorney W. B. Townsend, whose remarks seemed to voice the sentiment of all there. Among the others who made short talks were, D. E. Overr, H.F. Bray, J. C. C. Owens and N. F. Bray. A committee, consisting of W. B. Townsend, David K. Overr, J. C. C. Owena, N. F. Bray, Charles H. Holmes, M. B. Brooks and W. R. Hardy reported an able and ringing set of resolutions, which were unanimously adopted. The resolutions refer to the circumstance precedent to the shooting at Brownsville, allude to the fact that a grand jury failed to find a true bill against any one and to Gen. Garlington's exparate methods. The resolutions disapprove of the Presideutia action as hasty, unjust, unprecedented, biological, tyrannous, partial, unconstitutional, and retrogression from the high stand the President had previously taken. The sixth resolution calls attention to the fact that "it is common knowledge that the 4th Cavalry, U. S. troops, stationed at Fort Walla Walla, Washington, a few years ago formed a mob and stormed the town jail and lynched a citizen who was accused of killing a soldier. No member of that [white] regiment was discharged for being engaged in riot or murder or violating the discipline of the army, but the officers who were in charge of the regiment who were responsible for the conduct of that regiment were disciplined and reputed." In conclusion the solutions are: "We have met as peaceful citizens to overcome that other right left to us under the Constitution, in unity, the right to position Congress to investigate this order of the President, to right the wrongs done to innocent soldiers, to reinstate those into the army which we fallen unjustly under the ban of the President's order, protect the Constitution of our country so that we nor our posterity may not stumble against its ruins caused by the unrestrained inclinations of one man power. If Forced Upon Them, it Will Cause Bloodshed in the New State----Blacks Will Resent Such Laws. Adjt. Gen. J. W. F. Hughes says that in his opinion President Roosevelt has no right to dismiss the colored troops in Texas. "Every man in the United States army is serving under a contract for a definite term of years," General Hughes said this afternoon. "That contract cannot be broken by either party. If the soldier breaks it by desertion he goes to the penitentiary. The government has no more right to break this contract than the soldier has. A man cannot be discharged legally from the army except after a trial by court martial. If the President has the right to dismine soldiers at will, why could not some one else do the same thing? If those soldiers accept their enforced discharges now, they will have a claim against the government for the full pay for the rest of the time for which they enlisted, and Congress will have to pay the bill." The above is an expression of Gen. Hughes, of Topeka, who is Adjutant General of the state of Kansas and every inch a soldier; one who knows what the duty of one is, and therefore what a citizen owes to a soldier who spends his entire life in defense of his country. Japs Stand Like Men. St. Pergamino, Nov. 24. The Novoe Vremya, which is continually raising the spectre of a war between the United States and Japan, is a leading article today on the relations between the United States and Japan says. Although the San Francisco school trouble has been settled, the official optimism on both sides is not pursued. The situation is quite similar to that preceding the Russo-Japanese war. The race issue, cleverly raised by the Tokyo cabinet, may at the proper moment be received and pressed to the point of We presume that the people will jump in for humanity if the present outrages are continued on the colored people in this country. The United States spanned Spain for humanity and freed Cuba, now we think it is something to be done to end treating the colored people in the United States. he pretends, but that he is playing to the grand stand for what money there is in it. We were surprised to know that he has at last reached the conclusion to address assemblies and organizations that will accord colored people the same rights as whites, and now he admits that he thought the colored people wrong in opposing him for trying to make money for an institution that accords them the same rights with whites. Brother Tillman are glad you are coming around to where you will probably be fair to the colored people before you die. Roosevelt Should Consider. is the Land of Pirates! THE SCHOOLS AT WICHITA! Negro Children are Permitted to Attend Schools in Their Vicinity. A dispatch from Wichita says that the colored people are not keeping their children out of school because of the separate school enactment by the board of education. It seems that while the colored people want to test the law under which the separate schools were established, they are not causing their children to use the advantage of education when the case is pending. In the first separate school district, all but out of a total enrollment of are in school. The truant office reports but that number misses. It was not intention either of the school board or of the superintendent to compel colored children living too remote from the school to attend in that building. In several other wards the colored folks are allowed to go with the white children. The total enrollment of colored children is 224. Of that number 130 have been assigned to white schools. In each instance it was because the pupil lived too far from the colored school as designated by the board of education. We are glad to know that the school board of Wichita is not discriminating. If the above article is true, the colored people will not much cause for complaint, but will abide with time and patience and learn the particulars before we give our opinion. We hope the school board will not send children out of their districts or out of the way to attend separate schools. Send them in their district and to the school nearest them. HUTCHINSON, KAN.

I well tell you at once the things: first, they are too far apart; second, they pull down on one another; third, they have no race pride, fourth, they have no respect for their families; fifth, they will lie on one another to the white man; sixth, they will make monkeys of themselves to get the white man to laugh at them, and the white man is always ready to kick them around like dogs. I have known foolish Negroes to sell the rights of their families to some low down, rebel white man for a little money and whisky, and our race thinks that what a white man has is better than anything we can get or handle. A white man can take a gold place ring and get as much for it as you can get for a solid gold one. The Negro thinks that the white man will tell him the truth always and he will let the white man fool his eyes out of his heads. The Negro is 'easy to be led away by the white man. The Negro will come into your store and stand around, and go to the white man's store and trade. He could have bought the same things from you, but that isn't it. Your face is too dark, that is what is the matter. My dear friends, I will tell you we have a lot of people who will suck your blood and help the white man to break your net. If you think I am lying, you watch w. at I tell you. While I don't aim to burle. sue my people, I dip my pen into the ta. to tell you the truth. If I fail, let me know. There is no president in this world who can do this race any good. God is the only president who is going to work this thing out. One man has all the lands and moneys banked up and all the laws in his charge. That is the white man. So it will take God to bring these things to a test. The time is nigh at hand when the rich man will have to roll up his sleeves and do his work. Twenty years from today the Negro will be the top rail. I may be dead, but the time will come.

The possibility of quick, easy and cheap production has so intoxicated us that we have gone on producing in a sort of insane proficiency, and our imaginary needs have grown with it. Originally intended to make simpler and easier the doing of the necessary things, the introduction of machinery with its train of attendant evils has so complicated and befuddled our standards of living that we have less time for enjoyment and growth, and nervous prostration is the characteristic disease of the age. The old simile of the sewing machine exactly expresses the state of affairs. Its introduction was to be a boon to overworked woman by relieving her of the toilous hours of stitchery and so giving her more leisure for other things or for rest, but to her the means of doing ten times as much work cheaply.

Goler's plant is near the Belmont race track, and early today Goler's hired men found about a score of chickens scattered around the poultry yard. They had been killed, the men believed, by a weasel. Securing several shot guns, the men started on a hunt for the wrenel and finally wound up in the ice house just in time to see three big blackanakes crawling in under a pile of sawdust. The men fired at them at close range, and, thinking that the shot had annihilated the snakes, the hunters went their way without further investigation. Instend of blowing the reptiles to but the gun firing set the pile of shavings ablaze, and in a short time great volumes of smoke were issuing from the ice plant.

A number of naval officers were swapping stories at the Metropolitan Club in Washington one night when one red faced, white haired old timer asked: "Hare you ever heard how Admiral Jouett, a heutenant in the early days of the civil war, captured a fine prize through the crowing of a cock? No? "Well, Jouett, in command of the Montgomery, was cruising off the coast of Louisiana, out of sight of land, when one morning about four o'clock, while running through a dense fog, he dazzled tintely heard a rooster crowing as he was walking the deck with an officer of the midwatch. "In his inspection of the vessel Jouett had seen no poultry and had reason to believe that there was none on board. However, it was some moments before the significance of the crowing dawned upon him. Turning to one of the officers, he asked: "Are there any chickens on board?" "No, sir." "Did the boats bring off any yet today?" "Look here!" exclaimed Jouett, getting mighty interested, "when we swung up north I distinctly heard a rooster crow. A blockade runner has gone out. Call all hands. Make sail—there was a stiff wind blowing—for Havana. Send word to the engines to give me all the steam he can and hustle all extra men to the fire room." "The under officers exchanged significant glances. "No, gentlemen," said Donett, reading them thoughts. "I am not crazy. But I heard a rooster crow, and we'll find him when the fog lifts." "As he produced, when the fog lifted, at 7:30 o'clock, before them lay a shower, all sails set making for the vana. She was flying the Louisiana state flag, a pollen and as they ranged alongside but they found it hard and deepate looking men in the steam. "Hail down the rig!" called Donett. "There was no response. Thirty minutes stood on the poop deck of the Montgomery with muskets loaded with ball and bricks outside." "wrong, really" was the command, and down came the thirty muskets leaped on the gring. "Hand down that rug" again called the hunters, and down fell the path can from its mound position. "Then the captain captain was out as to how he had been discovered. "You have a rooster on board and I heard him now at four o'clock this morning" said Jouett. "I'd wring his neck" explained the captain of the blockade runner, v's a snowl. "No, you won't, responded Joubert, in an hour as she could by hand meant simply an opportunity to put ten tucks into a garment instead of one. Instead of adding something to her life, the machine took away more than it brought for it encouraged the desire for senseless and needless elaboration and so made her work harder and more confining than before.

Mark Twain's, Daughter a Singer. Broadway Magazine. Few know that Clara Clemena, daughter of Mark Twain, is one of the boat of the leading American contralto singers. Miss Clarens, who has just made her debut in this country as a concert singer, comes naturally by her voice, as all will concede who have heard the rice and powerful tones of her father. Having completed a thorough course of study in New York under Mrs Kida Ashforth, one studied extensively abroad. She achieved signal success in her European debut which took place in Florence. She has a contralto voice of usual mellowness and strength, and combines with those feeling for the dramatic that result "the author of Poem of Arc." A note on her sing, exclaimed: "If she suddenly become hoarse at the time of a concert, I apply her voice, a personold hold her audience with the dramatic effect she is able to." TO DO: WHO WOULD MARRY. It is an insert that a man's head should measure 20 inches in circumference, that a man with a head under 19 inches is mentally deficient, and the smaller they grow the worse they get. This same scientist told his young niece not to marry a man with a head measurement of less than 20 inches. The poor girl as in quandary. She loves a footballer with a chrysanthemum like coiffure, and she well knows that even if she dared run a tape measure around the protection to his gray matter it would avail her little. How could she tell how much was really head? After all, the great difficulty is this: A modest maiden could hardly find herself in a position to get her beau's cranium measurement before it was too late to profit by the knowledge. Besides, since love is notoriously blind, she might not care what tale the tape measure told. It may, after all, be one of those cases where ignorance is said to be bliss. KEEPING PRESERVES The keeping qualities of preserved fruits and vegetables is greatly impaired by being stored in full daylight. This is especially true when glass jars are used. The jelly will soon become cloudy and dark when thus exposed. Marmalade and other preserves are apt to soak and become cloudy. No matter now well the Fruit has been put up and how carefully sterilized and sealed, slow changes in the preserves will take place which, sooner or later, work their destruction.

You have all heard that Friday is an "unlucky" day, and many persons have so him a belief in the superstition that they would not, on any consideration, begin any work or start on a journey on that day. Here is a partial list of important historical events that happened on Friday, read it and then make up your mind whether or not the day deserves its "unlucky" reputation: The Mayflower landed; the Bastile was burned; Moscow was burned; Washington was born; Shakespeare was born; America was discovered, Lincoln was assassinated, Queen Victoria was married; the battle of Marengo was fought, Charles I was beheaded; the battle of Watsonloo was fought; Julius Ceasar was assassinated; the battle of New Orleans was fought, Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, the Declaration of Independence was signed—all on Friday. Now, what do you think about the day RAISIN PIL. Put three cups of boiling water on two cups of seeded raisins and cook ten minutes.

Although not feeling competent to interest any one, I have been requested to have a paper for this afternoon, and have gathered to gether a few passing thoughts. As this is my first I hope it may not be my last. Some think the best comes last, but I think that the best has already been said. As time passes by our lives pass also; therefore, I deem it very necessary to accept the present opportunity. One of the most mistaken ideas that ever gets possession of our minds in the belief that the best days of our Christian experience must necessarily lie in the past. So long as Our Master spares us our path shines brighter and brighter; it lights up the way whereby we may see what Christ would have us do. Now, I do not try to give advice to the Superintendent and teachers, for I think they have had enough of advice from others. But I will say, advisers, take held and help to do. No leader can do when some say, I can't and I won't. Some have limited time, and when called on to discharge a duty will say, "I will later on, let some one else now." If we want the Sunday School to prosper we should be willing to help in every way. "If at first you don't succeed, try again. There's a crown for those who work, Lend a hand; There is none to those who shirk, Lend a hand; If we toil till set of sun, When the glorious work is done We shall shine forth as the sun; Lene a hand. Mania Makes Her a Living Statue. A mama which has seized Santa Luzza has changed her into a living statue and made her case the strangest in the records of the Indies (Ohio) public court. She refuses to move a murderer her body but stands, as if lost, she is pardoned. She will not move it until her body but still has an imprisonment at which she is held. Sheiff Huntbut was able to lift her in a hug, some sheeps are an immature object until her body the county jail. There he hated it and carried her into the insane ward where she pursues the same strangest prison which has no guarded prison. No one claims her not there is the which will surprise her in strenu- cibility. The reason is at turn to stone, and her mind has come to hard to the touch. When positioned or skeled to convey she remains silent and when found or nourishment is offered her no attempt is made to partake of it. Providence four she will steve to death The New Japanese Code. Bushnishie Horum, 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 means. 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 revolutionise everything a reaction which might defeat the purpose of the new code. 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 1803 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. 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. 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 nations. 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. In the maintenance of the "house," a survival of the old cla 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 bereftier 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 bends. 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. Our neighbors on the north seem not at all given to the worship of imported greatness. 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 snubbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the incident. Not alone St. Louis, but the whole country, may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana Purchase expedition. 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.

Dip a few apoousful of cream over them in the dish they were baked in, wrapping the edge in a folded napkin. A small plate of sliced lemons should accompany this dish. "127" It's the sound of the carbolic atomizer of the twentieth century girl as pictured by Dr. Rurick N. Roark, president of the eastern Kentucky normal school, in his address on "Habita," delivered at the teachers' institute at Cleveland, Ohio, recently. Granting the alarming prevalence of a certain osculatory habit and the growing public knowledge as to death dealing mistakes, Dr. Roark, with a furry into the future, says that when the tendency toward the habit seems too strong for perversion, the cautious damself will make a frantic dive for her atomizer and then after the antineptic performance the osculatory process will proceed as in former days. BOLEY Indian Territory A progressive town. All eyes are upon the Indian Territory. More money is going to be made in the Indian Territory in the next few years than in any section of the country. In no section of the country has the Negro risen with such rapidity to financial imminence. The exclusive Negro town of theritory, offers excedtional oppoors as to location and general resources to Negro farmers, orchardists, stock raisers and investors. / The adaptability of the soil to growing all kinds of grain, fruits and truck would make a mill and elevator, also a canning factory paying investments.

It Takes Nerve It Takes Nerve Everything depends upon your nerves. It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your body; it is nerve force that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your veins; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to digest food, your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact, nerve force is the power that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, cannot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and your system run-down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles' Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy without strong nerves. "For eighteen years, Dr. Miles' Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been my close companions. Early in married life, while raising children, my nerves became all worn-out and sleep; had no appetite and indigestion; you had no much awful dizzy wells. Then I began using Dr. Miles' Nervine, and at once I began to improve, and soon found myself in perfect health." MAR B. L. YOUNG, 921 Pittsburgh St. New Castle, Pa. Dr. Miles' Nervine is sold by your druggist, who will guarantee that the first bottle will benefit. If it falls, he will refund your money. Miles Medical Co., Elkhart, Ind Oblituary. Lorenzo Henry of Lyndon, Kan. was born July 31st 1877, and died November 20th, 1906, aged 29 yeare, three months and 10 days. He was converted when a small boy, and united with the Calvary Baptist church of Ottawa, Kansas in 1888. Afterwards he removed to Baldwin, and united with the church there. A few years after this he removed to Lyndon and became a member of the church in that place until he went to Topeka and united with the Shiloh Baptist church of which he was a member at the time of his death. Within three years of the time of his decease, a brother and a sister preceded him to the land where there is no more death, neither sorrow nor crying. A father and a mother, one brother and one sister survive him. So far as is known, he always lived a consistent Christian life; but as the end drew near the light within his soul burned brighter and clearer till at last, reflecting the radiance of the light of the world, he departed to be forever with the Lord. Mr. Emmons Sims spent Thanks giving in Kansas City. Mrs. Anna Hodgins of Denver. Colo. is in the city visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Buckner.

After several revolutions the machinery was stopped and the body cut down, when life was found to be extinct. The deceased was a young married man whose wife is in a St. Louis hospital hovering between life and death, and who therefore could not be told of the death of her husband. The remains were shipped by St onestreet and Hamilton to the dead man's mother, who lives near Louisville, Ky. THE PLAINDEALER expresses sympathy for the bereaved ones. ELKS FAMOUS COOK DEAD Dora Couts is dead at the age of 36. There is nothing in this simple announcement to create any special interest because Dora was known rather by her work than by name. For eight years has been in charge of the kitchen at the Elks. There are few prominent people in Topeka who have not tasted of the food prepared by her skillful hands. If the cuisine at the Elks has been famous it was because Dora made it so. If anyone wanted a steak done just right or a wild duck served as only an expert can serve it he appealed to Dora, and it is not written that he was ever disappointed. There is probably no one in the country to whom is entrusted the delicate duty of ministering to the sated palates of bachelors who has had as few complaints. She made a record of which any one might be proud. It was known that she did her work well and never slighted a task. About a year ago Dora's sister died after a lingering illness of consumption. Much of the care and attention given her came from Dora as well as the expense of her illness and burial. The days following her death Dora was not herself and after repeatedurgings she confided to one of "her boys" that she had not been able to pay all of the funeral expenses when due. A paper was circulated among the members of the club who knew Dora as a member of the big club family and the expenses were paid and Dora never knew where the money came from excepting "the boys sent it back to me." At noon yesterday there appeared on the bulletin board at the Elks club the brief sentence, "Dora is dying," and for the remainder of the day the conversation was hushed and Dora's name was frequently or the lips of the members as they inquired as to her condition. Her illness was brief, but during the time she wanted for naught that money or friend could provide. Vases about the room filled with flowers showed that her friends were thinking of her even after she was forced to surrender her place at the club to another. Either Mrs. Barnes or her daughter for whom she had worked since Mr. Barnes has had charge of the club for the past six years, were with her almost constantly for the past week day and night.—State Journal, Nov. 27th, 1906.

POETRY Walnut for Foods 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 our 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 18x12 space will hold a big wagon and safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hack in a bushelful with an idle and feed them to the laying house the great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our books when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices and high prices during the past year, we must look to see them sell high although the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make us as lay.

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. (007 III. 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 8 E.

Butter thoroughly a shallow oval baking dish or pie dish, arrange neatly in it 3 ounces of well boiled macaroni; give it a good dueting of black pepper and salt, pour over it slowly a coffee cupful of good white sauce in which has been mixed 2 ounces of grated cheese; let this run well in among the macaroni tubes, montening it liberally, and shake over the surface a good layer of grated cheese; sprinkle with a dessert spoonful of melted butter, put into a moderate oven with top heat, and when thoroughly heated and its surface lightly colored, serve. This macaroni should be nice and moist when served, with a crispy top. A person in the habit of simply pouring milk over macaroni before baking it will immediately recognize the color of her ways after using this recipe calling for a white sun muck from butter and flour, blended cooked and moistened with chicken or golden stock.

The part rendered by the home talent was excellent and Miss Le Bouf swayed her audience at will after nuttily from laughter to tears and pleased them in every particular. Notwithstanding the Negro people here are few in number we had a good house of the best citizens, such as professors, doctors, business men, ministers and their families and some could not obtain mats.

Negroes are Bitter Meeting In Washington Denounces Mr. Roosevelt. FOR DISCHARGING THE TROOPS Secretary Taft Refuses to Talk on this Subject. Generally Believed That President Will Not Recall Order—Army Officers Approve His Action. Washington, Nov. 21—At a meeting of the negroes of the District of Columbia held last night at the M Street African Methodist Episcopal church to discuss the discharge of the man of the Twenty fifth infantry, the audience refused to sing "America" at the call of the chauman. General Andrew S. Burt, ex commi- dator of the twenty fifth infantry, was announced as the principal speaker of the evening, and the church was crowd d to hear him. But General Burt was in able, through illness, to be present. He sent a letter saying that he had been working so hard with influential friends endorsing to secure a revision of the President's order that he had broken down and could not come. Culvin Chase, who was a delegate to the Philadelphia convention of 1900, then made a bitter apology against the Presi- dent. He said that Mr. Roosevelt al- ways had been and always would be the enemy of the black man Receipt for a Bulloch Slave. "Do you want to know why he is our PUBLICATION NOTICE. No. 24008. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. Ira L. Shrivers, Plaintiff, Dora B Shrivers, Defendant. State of Kansas to said defendant, You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, by the above named plaintiff, Ira L. Shrivers, whose petition in said case was filed in said court on the 3rd day of October, A. D. 1906, and that unless you answer said petition or a war herein on or before the 17th day of November, 1906, the allegations in said petition will be taken as true and a judgment rendered against you, disorcing said plaintiff from you, and for other proper relief. enemy!" naked Chase. "Here is the reason." He then read a receipt signed by Mrs. Bulloch, the grandmother of the President, for the sum of $8,000, paid as purchase money for a young woman slave, one of the Bulloch family servants. "That woman was sold," said Chase, "to raise money to buy the trousseau for President Roosevelt's mother. It needs he no wonder that the President is now against the black man." Referring to the later Booker Washington incident, Chase said: "The President than opened the door of hope for the colored race, but it soon closed and has maintained closed ever since." The Rev. Dr Walter Brooke, a negro clergyman of Washington, said that unleashed the President reconsidered his action he would urge the 10,000 negro preachers of the country to preach to their people that no negro should enlist in the army to take the places of men discharged. Judge Tarrell, whom President Roosevelt appointed a justice of the peace here, spoke with more conservatism. He opposed Dr. Brooke's suggestion and urged his people to wait for the force of public opinion to make itself felt. No Messages Made Public. Messages were received at the White House yesterday which there is reason to believe have a direct bearing upon the difference of opinion between Secretary Taft and President Roosevelt regarding the discharge of Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. These messages were not made public. After Secretary Loeb had conferred with Secretary Taft it was announced that nothing could be made public last night regarding the discharge of the negroes. Secretary Taft reached Washington from New York yesterday evening. He went at once to the War department. Several dispatches were presented to him by General Oliver, assistant secretary of war, and General Ainsworth, military secretary. Only Seven Out Says Taft. The only information Mr. Taft saw Lu to impart was that no far as the War department had official knowledge the only men of the Twenty fifth regiment who have been discharged are seven of those confined at Fort Sam Houston who are awaiting the action of the civil authorities for complexity in the Brownville disturbances. No report, he said, had come to him of the discharge of the twenty five men at Fort Reno, Monday. It was learned from authoritative sources that there is no likelihood of the President ascending his order for the discharge of the negroes. Army officers as armie command the action of the President in ordering the discharge of the men. But they also express the opinion that the officers who permitted the visit at Brownsville should be court-martialed. It is recalled that a few years ago when some of the men of the Nineteenth infantry wrecked two gin mills in San Francisco it was not the enlisted men who wer tried, but the regimental commander, Colonel Huston.

He was granted with an immense audience. Rev. B. M. Stradford has been quite ill since Saturday.

First published September 28th '0d The Spade in Modern Warfare. The deadlock of the conquering armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha River recalls the campaigns of the civil war. Europakhin fortified in the tracts 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 1804 both the northern and the southern armies fell to making rifle 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 Pennsylvania, 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 characterised the Confederate retrograde movement from Dalton to Atlanta, Ga., led 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 and in a brute struggle for the mastery, and finally the The brainstorm, the purpose, the place of human bodies to the millets and shells. In this respect, religion warfare has but the name old 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 cowork box or a breakfast food canister 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 prepared. I cent an ounce for merchandise and I 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 insure 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 12,000 aliens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $600,000. Furthermore, the inflow of aliens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tailors. 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 dalal 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.
