Another case of assault on a white woman by smallbugging committed at the hands of a nigro, is reported to have taken place right in front of Mayor Lyons' residence on Lane street last Friday night at eleven o'clock. We have serious doubts as to whether the crime was committed by my colored person although several of our colored boys are under arrest for the crime but as yet there has not been sufficient evidence to hold any of them for it. Mr. S. H. Houston has a force of man doing the bank work on his residence on North Main street.

FOR YRUNG FOLKS SEESAW SWIMMER. A Delicate Foot of Balancing and How to Perform It. Out 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 2x1. HOW TO HOLD THE SKESAW. wineglass or tumbler containing just enough water to make the whole affair balance when you take your hands off it. So for you have accomplished a striking and "ticklish" balancing feat 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 seaweas 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 sousawing 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 preases 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 cuticles they grew more feathers, longer and stronger wings, lost their teeth and got sharp, hard bills instead. There were no birds before the reptilian 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 had teeth," is not so much of a joke after all. How He Guards His Neck. There is nothing very remarkable about the bird known as the created flycatcher, as far as appearance goes. He worms a crest coquettishly upon his pretty head, and from under it his eyes look particularly large and bright. His name is created flycatcher, and what has made him especially noted is his little peculiarity in arranging his nest. When he has completed the building of it's nest he hunts about until he finds the nest's keek of a snake. This be carries to his nest and fastens the uss as of decoration. It has been surprised that his color object in doing this is to brighten away any intruders. Six Words in a Pound.

FRIDAY, JAN. 18, 1907 A GROWING PREJUDICE! We reproduce, elsewhere, an excerpt from one of the leading papers of the Southwest. It tells in brief the brutal treatment of a Jewish rabbi who dared to speak out against America's unpardonable crime of lynching and burning. The attitude of the people of that city towards a man for speaking out in denunciation of barbarous lawlessness in a measure indicates the growth of public sentiment towards our people. Many things conspire to aggrivate public sentiment and create an intense feeling towards the Negro. During the past decade the literature entering every home in this land has been teeming with exaggerated and lurid accounts of Negro offenses against the law—civil, moral and social. His smallest offense has been magnified to a mountain of crime. Men in high places, regardless of the undisputed advancement of our people, morally, intellectually and financially, have not hesitated to condemn such a struggling race as incapables, and have bent their otherwise splendid talents to the detriment of humanity. When this Jewish Rabbi, influenced only by a desire to condemn a crime of lawless murders in a supposed "land of the free and home of the brave," he is hounded from the town like a felon. When conditions reach such a point that freedom of speech is denied, and a man is punished because he is demanding a "square deal" for the under fellow in the battle of life, then, some things should be done to cure the evil. In this work both the whites and blacks have a duty to perform. White people of intelligence know and believe that the Negro is not seeking social equality. Social equality is the great bugaboo. In the multiplication of his churches, lodges, schools, and in the improvement of his social circles, the Negro is clearly proving to the world that in a social way he is sufficient unto himself. If it is possible for the white man to understand and admit this (and we do not doubt his ability to do so) then the race problem and its evils will pass away, leaving only the ever present problem of dealing with criminals in strict accordance to the law made and provided. In this the Negro has a duty to perform m. His duty is clear as the noonday sun. He must lay aside the ranting and railing which has largely characterized him in the past and present his case at the bar of public sentiment commensurate with the dignity and intelligence of our forty years of freedom and public schools. Recognize and defend the noble virtuous women of our race. Place the virtue and integrity of our people as high as the white man places him and stand ready to defend the same.

We believe him to be an honest, conscientious statesman, endeavoring to deal with conditions as he sees and understands them. In his recent message the Governor apologizes for asking the Legislature to make a generous appropriated for Negro schools by citing the absence of Negroes from several of our state colleges. It is hardly fair to bring into his catalog Landsburg college [Swe dush], Campbell University, and a few other denominational schools, located in communities where there practically are no Negroes, and then bear gravely on the number of Negroes in the jails and penitentiaries. It is quite true that the number of Negroes in our penal institutions are greatly in excess of our desire, but this is no reason for taxing the already overtaxed people of Kansas to maintain schools that are not necessary. As a follower of the lowly Nazarene, it strikes us that the proper recommendation for Governor Hoch to have made and urged to be enacted into law, that every man in Kansas should be required, like Daniel of old, to kneel down and ask God to cleanse the thoughts of his mind of evil prejudice and to tear from his heart hatered of his fellow man, and to till his soul with the brotherly love like unto the soul that ran down on Aaron's beard." Ask for a liberal appropriation of the milk of human kindness. --- Chauncey Curtis was nominate for United States senator by the Republican caucus of the state Friday evening in the midst of great excitement and interest. There were several contestants for the place. He was nominated on the fourth ballot, an predicted several hours before the assembling of the caucus. Cyrus Leland, the old war horse of Doniphan county, started the break on the third ballot and on the forty-fourth ballot, Senator Porter of Crawford county sealed the nomination for Mr. Curtis by bringing six voters from the third congressional district which were necessary to complete the nomination. It required sixty six votes to nominate, and up to the time Senator Porter's name was called Mr. Curtis lacked six votes, therefore Mr. Porter is the man to whom Mr. Curtis should feel under many obligations for this master stroke. Senator Porter was an ardent supporter of Congressman Campbell, but after he was released by the congressman, he was at liberty to go wherever he chose and was therefore made one of the Curtis forces. Continued from Page 1. Americans--regardless of racial descent, religious belief or sectional abode--are a unit, and that is, reverence for our women. In no other land on the face of the globe is woman held in such high esteem as in those United States. This feeling Mr. Kaplan did not seem to realize. Hence his attack upon the women of the South, and hence the spontaneous and overwhelming indignation of the community. Nor does the Citizen believe the rising title of weightful indignation had been any sort of Mr. Kaplan had selected for his theme the women of the East, of the West, of the North or of any other section or subsection of our country. The Citizen has found so many persons desirous of reading the unfortunate article of the late rabbi, but unable to procure it, that the offensive part of it is here reproduced. Speaking of the crime of rape on white women, and on even baby girls of six years of age, who died from the outrage, the rabbi said. Now, in the name of all that is good and holy if this crime of the Negro is so hateful to white people that it is punishable by mob violence, why I thunder forth from the mountain, tops, do the white man of the South, with the fewest exceptions, practice daily that same crime on Negro women. If I had taken the trouble to convert Negroes to Judaism I would take a pride in being an example of right counselors and morality to these disciples of mine, and not an example of privileged immorality and high-handed desecration of the fundamental institution of society, the home. If you do not know you ought to know, that in the South it is no disgrace, it is an acknowledged privilege of every white man to have a colored woman as a concubine. By their economic dependence, the Negro women must obey, and when they obey, as obey they must, behold the hollow mockery to point to the Negroes as an immoral race! How in the name of decency and common sense justice can you blame the Negro for occasionally initiating your vile practice which you show him every day? This, too, is a problem that never will be solved by anyone except the white women of the South. The Southern white woman is proverbally lazy, incapable of doing anything, incapable therefore of earning the salt that goes into the bread she eats. She is therefore dependent, body and soul, upon her lerd and master, her husband. She nor you may put it that way, but I put it that way because it is the unwarranted truth. Hence, she is her husband's slave his toy, his plaything, and must acquiescer in everything he does, for her living depends upon him, and him alone. She knows and knows well, the institution of concubinage that exists in the South, but she as well as the concubine are dependent on the man, and they can say nothing—just grin and bear it. Now, if the Southern women were capable of earning their own living, they could say with terrible earnestness: I want you, my husband, to be true to your marriage vow, or behold. I prefer to make my own living, honorally and morally, rather than live with an immoral man."—The Albuquerque Citizen. GALENA NOTES. The quarterly conference and meeting at the A. M.

DLT rON A Neat, Pretty And Inexpensive "Hill and Mam" Solved It Satisfactorily. Our new house was to be finished in the fall, and by that time all of our extra capital would be finished also. I was trying to think of some nice but inexpensive way to furnish the second story rooms when Aunt Anna came to visit us for a month, says a writer in the New Idea Magazine. "Twenty years ago the carpet question did not worry young housekeepers for every bride was expected to have a fine web of rag carpet to begin with, and really I think there is nothing prettier or more suitable for upstairs bedrooms than the soft tones of a well made rag carpet," said Aunt Anna after I had told her of my plans and the size of my purse. "But how can I make one?" I asked after thinking of all of the castor garments in the family. "If going to work," she replied, "and when you run out of material at home call on your aunts and cousins." So we began at once and soon had all our material collected. "To insure a smooth, even carpet we must use an cotton rags and cut them all of such width that when woven they will be of uniform thickness. Rags cut from soft goods will beat up closer in the weaving than those cut from stiffer material and should be about as thick as six ply of the chain or an out straw when woven into the carpet," said Aunt Anna as she rolled and twisted a strip between her fingers. First we cut in strips all the dark and all the bright colored rags. These we mixed well, lapping the ends about an inch and sewing them diagonally across with the machine. Not stopping to clip the thread each time, we soon had a long strip sewed, and then, clipping it apart, we wound it into balls of about one pound each. We had decided to make rags 9 by 12 feet. These would require twelve yards of yard wide carpet. Each square yard of carpet requires one pound of rags, so we stopped when we had sewed twelve pounds of rags. The rags were sewed hit and miss and of so many colors that we selected the chain in six different colors, a pound of each, and had it laid thread about so that there would be no stripes. Besides the rags the carpet cost: Six pounds of chain, at 25 cents per pound, $1.50; twelve yards weaving, at 10 cents per yard, $1.20; total $3.70 A Convenient Kitchen Table. The design shown borewith illustrates a table that represents not a little experience and consideration of what goes to make the most convenient table, says the Ladies' World. It has a large top, which keeps dishes and pans from getting into inextricable confusion, and it has a large num- A KITCHEN TABLE ber of drawers, which are always convenient, and also closet room. Two slides pull out, on which pans may be set when one is sitting at work at the table, while in the long space under the center of the table is a chance to hang a multitude of kettles and other kitchen utensils. These are protected from dust by a washable curtain that slides upon a rod at the front of the opening. The French Apron Fad. The wearing of aprons is one of the old useful fashions now being revived, greatly to the saving of our frocks and the comfort of the wearers. The quaintish apron has been set aside for awhile, but is now once more asserting itself. The strictly useful has always held its own. The French have turned a kindly eye to them, and in the days of Louis XIII, women were them and their bunch of keys, showing they were veritable housekeepers. In the time of Louis XIV, dies of the court dummed them when employed in needlework and other arts, and it is from that period we are restoring the airy nothings of lace and muslin to our favor. Sometimes they are of light colored crepe de chine worked in gold. More useful ones of thicker fabric have large pockets. Those are adorned with pretty ribbon bows, and these ribbons sometimes draw up the pocket. Sometimes strong linen aprons are laceed with ribbon at the edge by means of creelet roles.

It is laid on one paper in which the three in it is laid on it positively leaves the silver cloth and bright any length of time as a respondent in an event.

I am proud of these prints and any of them. I am proud of them. I am proud of the prints in original and charming, designs of standard articles of jewelry. Among the stones upon which fashion at present bestows her approval are the peridot, amethyst, tourmaline, aquamarine, zircon, garnet and the new American stone, kunzite.

General Admission Reserve For Mail order only close letter to A. C. AARRIS John W. FIELDS COME TO VINITA, OKLA A grand ouverture de l'honneur pro- S ot M. A. Sorrell, Office Madden Building, Vinita, Ohio The Spade in Modern Wardrobe. The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha River recalls the campaigns of the civil war. Hurepatkin 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 1801 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, forlited the lines taken up successfully 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, 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 end in a brute struggle for the mastery, and finally the the breastwork, the parapet, in the place of human bodies to bullets and shells. In this resp in warfare has but the name wer to the old problem— the place 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 show or a correct 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 lathmus would undoubtedly laure 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 Colonia, at which Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras were represented. Costa Rica sent no delegates to this meeting, but her eminent men express themselves in hourly 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 the number of over 18 to be further digging the hole to fill the hole of the hole. but but didn't take the little kind as with blue fire it fluttered it fluttering on that. The mushrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the ausual "all kinds of" weather. Burda's Liberal Bodyguard. Russells Liberal Bodyguard. The semive of Russia is a historic institution, and collectively the semivos, since they exist in every district, may be considered the very citadel of Muscovite patriotism. They have in part the characteristics of the New England town meeting and the county boards or councils of all the states. No one has ever questioned the purity of motive of their members, who are elected by the people and serve without pay, or their devotion to the czar and the empire. As to the duties or prorogatives of the semivos there are two opinions. The advisers and ministers of the czar who hold the views of the late M. de Plehve would have them attend to purely local affairs and in that sphere be as public spirited as they choose. On the other hand, M. de Witte always sought their co-operation in carrying out administrative reforms and urged them to speak their minds freely upon the condition of the peasantry. The first contact of the Czar Nicholas II. with the zemstvos was soon after his inauguration, when he received the honour of his subjects. Representatives from all the zemstvos of all the Russias gathered in a spacious hall and presented addresses, one after another, in terms of laudation of the new ruler. One zemstvo only one took the opportunity to hark back to the days of Alexander II. and expressed the modest hope that the grandson of that liberal monarch would not restrict his confidence wholly to the brevuary, but would let the voices of his people be heard through their chosen representatives, the zemstvos. At this suggestion the young autocrat turned wrathfully upon the whole assemblage and, stamping his foot, declared that they must forever renounce such chimerical notions, for he would have none of them during his reign In so far as lies in their power the sometimes have stood between the common people and the oppressive agents of the central government. During the present reign they have attempted to exercise the punishing power in local offenses but this has been eternally overruled. One of the czars advises declared "Questions of the sensitive have no more to do with law courts than questions of family life. If a father may chastise his son severely without invoking the help of the courts the authorities, local, provisional and central should be invested with similar power to imprison, flog and otherwise overrule or punish the people." In other words every professional governor and every petty man protect should exercise the irresponsible and whimsical power of an autocrat without recourse to or regard for law. The Liberals of Russia are not banded against monarchical institutions, since these are necessary to the working out of a national destiny, nor against the ruling dynasty. They simply ask that the affairs of the nation be freed from the changing caprice of individuals, the rapacity of a clique, and conducted by competent and honest men, independent of the corrupt and fluctuating influence of the imperial court. Despite the unbroken record of railway disasters in the United States it remains true, as proved by the experience of accident insurance companies that the safest place in the world is a railroad train. Not less than thirty persons were killed and many more than that injured in elevator accidents in New York city in the past year. No such proportion of the persons who traveled between New York and Chicago in the same period were even injured. It is capable of proof that within almost any section of the country more persons are accidentally killed in the day's work than in railway disasters. The explanation of this odd fact is of course, that those places are most dangerous where danger is least expected and those safest where danger is so looked for and so probable that the mind of every man concerned is intent on avoiding and preventing accident. Although John Bull is now a rehe- ment a member of arbitration, at least in closest policy, he is reorganizing the military forces of India on the basis of a $70,000,000 outlay. The troops will be on entrenched at certain points to suit them to train together and co- operate in time of war. Since the great mutiny they have been quarrelled all over the country Railroads and tele- grams have been than, of the situation and in time of war troops can be quicker forwarded to any current scene of dis- turbance. The pioneer work of the Alaskan tel graph system recently completed was begun in 1965, before the title on the book was laid. The projectors used to connect the new and old world by the literature it route Cyrus Field a great amount in 1865 dashed this en- terment to the ground. He new as- sumed entirely on United states t tory and comprises 2127 inks whi- ble 1440 of land litter miles of wireless system. The state of the Illinois courts to appeal, to the courts to adjudicate at the governor of their prison grop, their plenty of hard labor, as dwell in their sentences, will hardly be finds by the amalgamated hoboa.
