THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. NORTHWEST KANSAS IS PROSPERING VOLUME IX. We have had the pleasure of making a visit to Northwest Kansas, Frankfort, Centralia and Seneca. This is a prosperous section of the country and everybody is doing fine. Our first stop was at Frankfort. We arrived there Thursday evening and met first Mr. B L McKarland, who conduct a barbershop, soda water and cigar stand. He has been conducting business in that town for several years and stands high with the people. He was a winower up to several weeks ago, when he married Mrs A H Moore, an industrious widow of Atchison. He is the father of eight children, and his wife takes great care in looking after her step children. Mr McKarland owns some good property in town, six room house and two and a half acres of land valued at $2,000. The white people seem to be very friendly and the colored people enjoy all the rights and privileges of other citizens. The only serious objection we have to offer is that the colored people years ago were with out a leader; had there been someone to teach them to buy more land while it was cheap and to hold it, there would be more wealthy colored people in that community. We telephoned Jones Rice of our presence in the city and he sent his daughter, Miss Lulu May, who is a student at Western University and who is highly cultured and has all the business qualities that go to make a man or woman successful in life. She is the third daughter of the family. We drove out to his farm, which is 35 miles southeast of Frankfort. Mr Rice owns 20 acres, well school with cattle and horses, and acres of corn, wheat, oats and other cereals, which he has raised this year. He has a large house, with eight rooms nicely papered and furnished, also in children. He came to Frankfort 20 years ago with no money, but with plenty of push and energy. He was the first colored man to settle in that town, and for a time the white people acted as if they were afraid of him, and would not give him any work. He finally secured a job seven miles from town with an Englishman. It was not long before he made good headway. He has been married 37 years and his in dustrious, loving wife has been a valuable helpmate and instrumental in bringing about his success. He is trustee of the district school which is attended by both colored and white. He is also Worshipful Master of Far West lodge, No. 22, A. F. and A. M. Mrs Rice and the girls devote most of their time to the poultry business. They have drove after droves of fowls, and are such cessful in raising a number for market, which bring them a good sum. Mr Walter Rice, their son, has a farm of 120 acres and is also making money. It is a treat for one to visit the Rice farm and home and meet his courteous family, and gaze over the broad acres of land, as well as the hundreds of heads of hogs, horses and buns of wheat, corn and oats. The citizens of Frankfort gave a festival a few days ago and the Rices took first premium on wheat, corn and spelta. This contest was open to everyone, irrespective of color. We only wish that we had 20,000 farmers like Mr. Rice in Kansas. We met Mrs. P J Taylor, one of Frankfort's highly respected citizens. She and her husband have lived in this vicinity for 22 years. She is an upright Christian and an industrious lady. She took first premium on a velvet painting of wild rose in full bloom. The beauty of this contest was that both white and black participated. We met Mr. Harlwick and wife who had just opened up a restaurant and ice cream parlor. This lovely resort is headquarters for the colored people in that section of the The Negroes are Making Commendable Strides. country. He is a Kentuckian by birth and a pioneer in the restaurant business, being the first man to conduct such business in Frankfort. He owns good property and is also engaged in truck gardening. Q.C. Lillott, an industrious young man from St. Louis will be connected in business with him this fall and winter. We met Sam Russell and sons who own good property and are first class brick masons. We also met D A Brodbeck, who conducts a shoe store and repair shop. He is one of the leading white Republican politicians and business man of the county, a gentleman who believes in giving colored men a fair chance. We also met the post master, who is well qualified for the position. Mrs Susie Irving, a widow, who is making a success at dressmaking in that vicinity. She also feeds and sells a number of hogs each year, from which she realizes a net sum Lewis Cloud lives three miles south of town, where he owns an improved farm and hogs and cattle He also owns 400 acres in Western Kansas. J W Fowler, stone and brick mason, owns good property and is doing well. We met Rev. L. F. Bryan, pastor of C. M. E church, who is doing well He has succeeded in building a new church and has paid for it Frankfort is the home of Miss Evelyn Hickman, who is one of the most cultured young ladies in the state. She is employed as stenographer Baptist Foreign Mission board Louisville, Ky., and at present is at home visiting her mother, brother and friends. Mrs. Moran of Popeka is also visiting her parents at her old home. Though Frankfort has only fifteen colored families, there are two churches. They hold services once a month. The Baptist church is without a pastor, the members being so disgusted with the last one they have about given up hope of calling another. Rev. Magett had better not put in his appearance about that city. All the colored people of the town own their homes. We shall visit this territory twice each year from now on. SINFC A. We arrived at Seneca Saturday morning over land from Centralia. There we met our old, time honored friend, Ben Tillery, who is not only a leading citizen, mule and horse buyer of that county, but of the West. His judgment has no equal and cannot be surpassed by any in the same business. He purchases thousands of dollars worth of horses and mules every year. In fact, he will buy anything on four legs which he thinks will profit him a dollar. He was born in Plattsburg Missouri, Christmas Day 1859. He has been married 27 years, has two boys and a girl, Joseph, Elvart and Florence. This is one of the happiest families we ever visited in our life. Not only Mr. Tillery and his wife are proud of their children, but all of Seneca is equally as proud of them The boys are 21 and 23 years old. One clerks in the lumber offices and the other has charge of the opera house. They are both perfect gentlemen, having no rough or cruile ways, and do not associate with any of that class. This town has no colored churches or colored ministers, and the colored people are members of the white churches and Sunday schools, and are no reason why there should be any separate churches. These young men are among the leading workers of the Sabbath school. They are members of the Congregational church, speak German friendly and are far Latin scholars. They are graduates of the High school of that county and it is TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1907. said there is no better in the state Mr. Tillervoy is fine prover, and in where he keeps his sock. His wife is a lady of high culture, and her whole time is occupied in making home pleasant for her husband and children. She is a tin housekeeper and enttafter. Miss Florence, her daughter, is an accomplished young lady and is devoting her time to music. She will finish school in a short time and will take up special studies at some college. Seneca has a population of 1,000 and is a near lt l l. town with clean M. streets and alleys. The citizens respect the rights of every body irrespective of color or condition, if they are found worthy. We met a few white citizens who subscribed for our paper. J. M Taylor register of deaths has lived in the county 44 years and is serving his first term. E. S. Ranall, county clerk, is Last week was a great week in Louisville for the Negro Knights of Pythias of N. A, S A., E., A., A. and A. Early Sunday morning the great concord of Pythians began to arrive. Aspecial train from St Louis, Mo bringing in 900 Pythians and Calanthians alone. Later, special trains arrived from West Virginia, Ohio Pennsylvania, Florida New Jersey, Tennessee, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Mississippi, New York, Arkansas, Alabama, Rhode Island, Georgia, Illinois and Nebraska. By Wednes day morning 1800 ptm of Knights were in camp at Camp Smith. One of the very noticeable features at Camp Smith with the absence of noise, profanity, cigarettes, smoking and other forms of vulgarity The Pythian parade on Thursday composed of 18 companies, 4 regiments of plumed Knights, three companies of brigades, six military bands and 112 carriages of Supreme officers and representatives who the greatest public feature of the mission One of the greatest features of the inside workings of the session was the capture and reception of a delegation of Knights from several of the grand lodges from the Eastern and Western Henspheres, which is considered the beginning of the union of all colored Knights of Pythias in the world. Upon the invitation of the Supreme Chance lor, S W Starks, the Honor Booker T. Washington, the acknowl edged leader of the race, attend and addressed the Pythians and citizens. The Suprai Chancellor appointed the following committee to accord him a reception upon his arrival in the city. L W Stitcholl Texas; R C Simmona, N. Y. C A Nevils, Pennsylvania; Rev E B B Topp, Mia, Major General R. K Jackson, Illinois; W W Plumb Kansas, Dr. Horace Conrad, Oklahoma. Dr. Washington was met by the reception committee, a mounted staff from Major Gen'l Jackson's department, the supreme officers and the Charleston, W. Va. band of 40 pieces, who escorted him to the white City "a place known only to white people in the past. But so orderly, so well behaved were the 1500 Pythians there assembled that the management readily consented to throw down the color line and admit them. Dr Washington paid a glowing tribute to supreme Chancellor Stark and the order of Knights of Pythias for the work they are doing along the line or solving the individual a serving his first term. He was born in this county 15 years ago. John Stovall is one of the leading lawyers of the town and is owning a lucrative practice. John Campbell, who has lived in the county a quarter of a century, is serving his first term as probate judge The most queenly of elective office holders is Miss Lulu Living, clerk of the district court, who is now serving her second term, and can have the office as long as she desires it. Both Republicans and Democrats join in to make her election a success. She is courteous, polite and highly cultured and is a woman who excises good judgment. She is sme what different from the average woman, who is given to gossiping, but is of the loving kind, and possesses a charitable disposition. She spends her time doing things that are a benefit to all. We also met County Attorney Milton Poland, who is highly educated and understands his business. Continued on Page 1.

Plumb Tells of the Great Gathering of "Brave Men." problem that confronts the Negro race He was pleased with the way he and once behaved, and said "This deportment on a public occasion such as this is within itself the highest evidence of progress I have such confidence in your supreme Grand Chancellor and those who joined him in extending the invitation to be with you in this great meeting that although I was well mortgaged with engagements, I have put those interests aside for the moment, and am here. I have faith in what your organization is trying to do. I congratulate you upon what you have done, and I bid you God speed in your efforts in the future, all of which I hope are constantly to be directed toward the betterment of your fellow man One of the main points emphasized by Dr. Washington was that the Negro could be educated and had been, as was proved by actual tests. He said that among all the leading universities of the country one could find the brightest scholars members of the colored race, and even at Oxford, in England, Negroes are being educated During the past forty years, he said, the Negro had convinced the world that he could be educated in literature, science, mathematics, agriculture, mechanics, household arts and professions "I believe that our people should take advantage of every opportunity no matter wherever presented, North or South, to show to the world the progress that we, as a race are making. No battle was ever won by an army standing still or walking in the tents. Raial battles are to be won by marching for ard, not by holding back. "There used to be a question as to whether the Neeru could be educated—that is, in the ordinary words in which we understand education, there is no longer any such question in the minds of any people whose opinions are worth considering. There is a question yet remaining, and one that is constantly being debated, as to what extent the Negr as a race is using and is capable of using education so as to increase his productive ability and in distributing the products of the earth among the world. Education may be valuable or worthless. Gold may be valuable or worthless. Gold touching the markets of the world is valuable, a bushel of gold dollars lying in a boat in mid-ocean, lying at the foot of a hungry man, worthless. Gold has got to touch something to import real value to it. Education has got to touch something in the same way; has got to open something into life to be of value." NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION It has been a pleasure to the Reg. master and Mrs. Vernon to see their Western friends and to observe the strong showing made by the Baptists of the Western states and ter- tories during the entire session of the National Baptist Convention. John Fowler Brown, of near El Reno was in the city last week visiting his brother and family. Miss Anna Baldwin, of Agusta is in the city. Pretiding Elder Brooks held his last Quarterly meeting with Rev. Reeves, preparatory to meet the annual Conference at Parsons. The people of this place and Wellington have done excellent, and hope to have their pastor returned Rev. B. A. Smith, of the Second Baptist church will give a grand rally on the fifth Sunday. A. B. Smith and wife have added three rooms to their lovely home and Henry Franklin has also added four rooms to his home. J. W. Jackson, one of Winfield's best young men has purchased a five room house and moved it onto his lots. Jack believes in getting the cage before capturing the bird. Jerry Taylor and wife, of Hutchinson, were the guests of Jesse Banks and wife, who entertained in their honor Thursday. The evening was spent in social conversation After partaking of a two course lunch, all departed for their several homes feeling glad to have been there. Hon. W. T. Vernon Register of the United State Treasury, by invitation adored the National Baptist Convention, and among other things said: "I am sure that it gives me great pleasure to lay aside the duties of my office to visit this most representative body of men, who are giving their lives to the cause of objection and the christianization of our race throughout the world. I have been impressed with the solidity of your leaders—the conservation of your providing officer, and the personelle of the active forces of this great body—the serious minded men of this gathering, who feel the weight of the problems before us—who see the duties that he nearest us, and are working with heart and soul toward the unction of the untoward conditions now the position of our race. I am convinced that by the adoption of right methods we are to find a better day for the American Negro. All of the elements of our national life are moving toward an improved condition. It is inconceivable that in this era of progress right should not triumph, and justice should not finally be done to all the people. The American Republic, the hope of free government throughout the world, has a mission so lofty that its carrying out necessarily involves that "righteousness which exalteth a nation." When men understand that their duties include the granting of rights to their fellow men and that the golden rule in affairs of State, church and home is the only rule which can be subjected to the test of divine scrutiny, then shall we see an era of divine greatness, in harmony with the divine purpose. Governments are strongest which live in the hearts of their subjects. Patriotism is the outgrowth of an intelligent appreciation of the goodness and justice of human government.

So then—I repeat, to ask for the rights of a people, to educate them to know and perform their duties is the highest possible service which thus great convention can render the American nation. I am in sympathy with you, and have a feeling stronger than denominational lines. We may not all feel alike on non-essential, but on those essential things which make for a better day for the Negro, all leaders must agree. Worshipping the same God, paying homage to the same Christ alike and preaching the Gospel, working for and with a struggling race, we can but be united and must work together. As are holding official position, I desire you to feel me with you, at all times, and consider me as everybody's Register and with all men who desire the uplift of the race, regardless of denomination or creed. let us be hopeful and the years which unfold will see the accomplishment of our aims and the fruition of the hopes of ten million struggling people." Mr. Vernon has been taking an active interest in the visitors to the National Baptist Convention, and in entertaining many of his acquaintances from Kansas during their stay in the city. Such prominent Kansas Reverends as G. H. McNeil, Bowrin, Dr. E. Arlington Wilson and wife, Dr. Robt. Mitchell of Ky., formerly of Kansas, Dr. Puntay, Rove Toul, Ramey, and others, have all partaken of his hospitality from time to time at breakfast and dinner parties. Newkirk Wednesday. Mrs. Willa Hawkins will leave in a few days for Topeks, to spend the winter with her sister. Lee Ellis and his wife are the proud parents of a fine boy. Miss Laura Brower has returned to her home in Kansas City, where she is superintendent of a large catering and baking establishment. She is the only daughter of Jesse Brower—our most successful farmer—and wife. T. J. Jordan spent Tuesday in the country on business. We were glad to announce he spent most of the Negro youth at this study. Miss Mc Mohon of Louth, returned from after an extended visit here with her relatives. Sunday, Sept. 10, Rays, Brooks and Rays held the last quarterly meeting for the conference year. Misses Lly Hall, Florence Horton and Olive Hall have returned from Winfield, where they attended the association. Miss Bettha Monroe, one of the many bright young ladies of Wellington, has returned from Win eld where she went as a delegate to the association. She is about the youngest Sophomore at the 2. C H. S in a list of 350 pupils. The officers and members of the True Eleven are glad that the malicious writer who sent a statement to an Omaha paper for the purpose of putting two societies at war has failed. Both societies will rent their halls to whoever they choose. The liberal disavowel by the members of the other society is very commendable. We know of a few colored men in Atchison who are going up stream in spite of every muddy current, still we need peace and unity for the benefit of the whole people. Getting angry because others you do not like are succeeding is silly in the extreme. Even if you do feel your "importance" the lack of business enterprises among us is rather unto itself to drive some persons into a solitary band of unity, which these societies have done, knockers to the contrary notwithstanding.

Peace and harmony prevailed throughout the entire session. Much important business was transacted. The endowment department shows a neat increase over last year, numerically and financially. The important feature of the Grand Lodge was the excellent reports of the Grand Lodge officers and representatives. The Grand Court of Calonthe surpassed by far all former sessions. Much has been accomplished through the untiring effort and noble work of Mrs. M. Matley, the Grand Worthy Counselor. The reports showed the department is in a progressive state. Mrs. Mollie Cox, of Wichita, was elected Grand Worthy Counselor. The Uniform Rank impairment is our West Point. There are five (5) companies in the state No. Imperial No. 1 Galena No. 2.

Pueblo, Colo., Aug. 29, 1907 Editor of the Topoka Plant Dealer I modeled a visit in your paper under the date of Aug. 9, 1907, attempting to publish the amount of money raised by the various churches in Kansas City, Kansas, during the present year, in them raises. The reporter or corresponding agent from that city did not give the last A M E church a correct quoting and we feel that the comparison was unjust. We opened the rally July 18 at which time we preached upon the tables in cash >1,11112 and closed the rally Aug. 1 with $1,729.03. The membership was also misquoted, it is not justified of $100. Again, while this rally was being conducted the other departments of the church kept up their usual expenses which amounted to $187.50. Thus the entire amount raised was during the rally period >2,116.51. We leave it to the Plan Dealer to say where the funds belong.

Wednesday was a day that will live forever in the memory of the PLAINDFALER force. Mrs M. Dyer and daughter, Mies Raymos entered this force at dinner, and it was a feast fit for the gods; cooked and served in a style that touched the very soul of the printers, bookkeepers, stenographers and scribes who were to devour it. The "Corn bread aristocracy" with Haylin China cut glass finger bowls, etc., would pale into insignificance at the right of so much a bountiful repast. We all did ample justice to the meal, and hope that Mrs Dyer and daughter will call us again at some future date Card Party. On last Friday evening, September 13th, Misses G. A. and J. K.

It has only been a short time since this land was opened to settlers, and in speaking of the master Mr Ross said: "The colored people can see the hand writing on the wall, and young and old have lost no time settling on this land. It is about all taken up and the people have the houses shut off. They have several good stories and topping up" Mr Ross is in good time.

Tuesday, the 10th, Coffeyville took a day off and attended the barbecue at Vernon park. The park is an entirely new venture on the part of Coffeyville Negroes. The park is located two miles south and one mile west of the city, immediately on the line of Kansas and the Indian Territory, and will draw largely from both the old and the newly proposed state. It is owned and controlled by two Coffeyville men, J A. Dawson and Sam Brown, both Negro men of push and energy. The barbecue was a huge success, and tended to introduce the park to the public. A large crowd attended the Cantata, given Tuesday evening at the A. M. E. church. Mrs. W. &. Love the directrix, and the bevy of ladies of the chorus, deserve great praise for their splendid production. The new A. M. E. church is now completed and the opening is only delayed by reason of the fact that the pews have not yet arrived. Attorney S. G. Tooke was in Independent Saturday, looking after court business.

The young people who took part in the drama, The Court of Lame, deserve much credit for the way in which they acquitted themselves. From the queen to Topsy it was excellent and the public is anxiously looking forward to another grand treat from the same source. Rev. John Gregg seems to be the right man in the right place. He is a scholar and a gentleman, and always has a winning smile and a pleasant word for each and all. By his arduous labor the Bishop A. M. B. church is free from debt and fairly launched on the road to better and larger things. We hope in the court of conscience the Bishop will renew obedience to send him back to Leverworth.

The town of Poverty has been with- out kerorene now for ten days or two weeks, Some haso actually sat in the dark waiting for bedtlue, The mo tlon has been made to change the name of this town —Cathoua Star, Burglare Are Skeptical, On the 6afe of the Albina Fuel com pany, Portland, Ore., wae the placard; “Save jour thre, There ts no money in the safe“ But burglars who could not read or were focredulous broke it open the other night, They fouod some old books only, We also met W G Rucker county treasurer elect, who is now entering his first term and is one of the old standbys of that county. We also met young Wells of the firm of Wells and Wells, one of the best law firms in the West. The senior Wells was for a number of years a member of the Court of Appeals. Young Wells is a diplomat and scholar and is trained after his father. G B Gunn is one of the lead in trainers of stock horse in the state has been engaged in the business for years and whenever he drives a pacer or trotter that he has trained, he always gets the money. He has a wife and a bright, intelligent family of seven children, one of whom. Marie, aged ten, took the first prize in painting and drawing at the fair in that city last week. Mrs Gunn takes kelight in rearing her children so that they will be useful when they grow to womanhood and manhood James Loggins, who has lived in Seneca 27 years, was born in Wynona, Miss. He has three accomplished daughters who are fine house keepers. One of them, Miss May Ellen, is taking music at the State university. A family that attracts the attention of the people of Seneca as giants and healthy children of any family of this country, barring none, is known as the Neely giants. Austin Neely and wife, Kenjuckians, children, the oldest of whom, Hattie L., is taking a course in dressmaking and music at Western University. She is 22 years old and weighs 350 pounds. Her sister, Anna, 19 years of age, weighs 340 pounds; er brother, Rufus, 24. weighs 380 pounds. The youngest girl, Helen, who is now 12, is pushing the scales at 175 pounds. Master Hosea, nine years old and growing fast, now weighs 150 pounds. It is certainly a social pleasure and enjoyment to visit this family of giants. They are active and inustious and their great mass of flesh does not worry them. The parents have had several orders to place these giants on exhibition, but they will not hear to it. The children have good manners, are highly polished and good entertainers. To be continued. FT. SCOTT. Rev. L. C. Allen went to Coffeyville last week to attend the M. E. District Conference.
