PEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME X. Hutchinson Man Will Be Elected Judge of the Ninth District A Good Man and an Able Lawyer. The biggest man in the public eye in these parts at present is George A. Vandeveer, candidate for judge of the Ninth judicial district comprising Harvey, Reno and M'Pherson counties. He was born in Illinois, and settled in Kansas in '79, and was reared on a farm where he herded cattle and performed all the labor known to farming. He read law in the office of Mason Peters, one of the best in the state and was admitted to the bar at Columbus, Kansas where he began the practic of law. He has never held a political job and is no politician, but a man well versed in the law and is a member of the state board of law examiners which constitutes and requires the best of the legal profession. For ten years he was general attorney for the National Security Co., of New York, which position he resigned on account of ill health, and has since recovered and is again robust and strong. Mr. Vandeveer is 54 years of age, a Mason, Odd Fellow, Workman and an upright Christian gentleman. He is a business as well as professional man and organized the first bank at Burton. He stands high with the citizens of Newton his former home which was shown by the eagerness with which they signed his petition, having secured his opponents own ward, and it is safe to say he will carry it on Aug 4 Mr. Vandeveer was a personal friend of the late Justice Green of the Supreme Court of Kansas. It was the Judge's request that he be one of the honorary pall bearers. There is 3200 Republican votes in Reno, 1600 in Harvey and 2200 in McPherson. His opponent lives in Harvey. Give him his county solid; give Mr. Vandeveer Reno solid and divide McPherson and the result would be 2700 for Vandeveer. This would be the result if each county stood solid by their favorite son, but this is not the case as Vandeveer has a strong following in Harvey, it being his old home, and there being no faction or opposition in his own ranks his nomination is sure. Reno is solid for Mr. Vandeveer. He belongs to no faction—just a lawyer of the highest type. HUTCHINSON NOTES. Rev. C. O. Smith and Andy Sims will attend the Republican National Convention. Rev. C. O. Smith is organizing a Y. M. C. A., which he hopes to soon have in good running order. J. M. Allen has opened a drug store on South Main Street. This is the home of Carr W. Taylor, candidate for state senator, W M. Newlin, Rev. C. O Smith and Walter Evans who make and kill men in politics. All the political battles pulled off in the county are engineered by these men Patronize Home Industries. The Chas. Wolf Packing Company is one of the most prosperous concerns in the state. It has grown from a small, one room affair to one of the largest in the West, and in the markets of the world the Wolf TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 1, 1908. product stands second to none. Everything sent out by this great concern is carefully prepared, good, wholesome, clean and healthy. While Kansas is the home of some of the largest packing plants in the world, the Wolf product stands at the head. Wherever sold the demand for the meats, etc., prepared by this concern has almost doubly increased. Mr. C. M. Lawrence, secretary of this great concern, has held his present position for twelve years. He is a bright, intelligent gentleman, a thorough business man, and has aided materially in bringing this concern up to its present high standing. Mr. Lawrence is genial, courteous and kind to everybody, and has drawn around him a wide circle of warm friends. Men of his calibre, and concerns like the Chas. Wolf packing Co., are the foundations of building a greater Topeka. "OK" Lard, Kaw Valley Mince Meat and Banquet Hams are some of their products that have become a household word in the Middle West. The high quality of these articles has given thorough satisfaction, and is daily adding fame to the future packing king, Mr. Chas. Wolf. A Good Business Man. Mr. Chas. J. Smith, city manager of the Jackson-Walker Coal and Material Co., is one of the best business men in the city. His shrewd tact and careful business methods have made this one of the greatest concerns of its kind in the state. They have always carried the best articles of fuel, their weight is square—in fact, the consumer gets just what he pays for. Despite the advent of natural gas, the Jackson Walker Co are holding their own and have supplied many a disappointed gas patron who saw the error of his way and returned to them to secure the most reliable fuel on earth-good coal. The Jackson-Walker people are public spirited, enterprising business men, and are always ready to drop a dollar into any proposition that will boost Topeka. It is a home industry, and let's boost by purchasing our fuel of them. They give employment to a large number of colored men, and day them the highest wages for their labor, and any colored man who fails to give them a liberal share of his patronage should reflect, and spent money with men who are assisting us in every way possible. Falkiner is Gaining. W. R. Falkiner, whose announcement for Clerk of Shawnee county appears elsewhere in this paper, is in every way capable, and if nominated and elected would make an ideal official. He has a magnificent training in clerical work, having had a number of years experience in the office of the great Santa Fe. Mr. Falkiner is courteous, polite and a gentleman of high integrity, and if elected will treat all alike, irrespective of creed or color. He has many warm friends at the Santa Fe, who are urging his nomination, and is gaining ground daily among the colored people. If elected Mr. Falkiner will no doubt make one of the best officials that ever served Shawnee county. MR KREHBIEL A SURE WINNER!

We are, Daniel Williams, the Great Surgeon Visits Kansas City! Dr. Daniel H. Williams arrived in Kansas City, April 23rd at 8:20 a.m. He was met at Union depot by Bishop A. Grant, President of the Board of Directors of Douglass Hospital, and Dr. T. C. Uthank, chief Surgeon, and was conveyed to the home of the latter, where he remained during his stay in the city At 10 a.m. he was met at Douglan Hospital by a large number of medical doctors, some of whom came from Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas and remote points in Missouri, where he held a clinic with several patients who had been waiting his arrival. Many patients were from Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska. Here he displayed his usual skill as a surgeon and every doctor present felt that he was compensated for the long journey he had made to see Dr. Williams. At 2:30 p. m. he dined at the residence of Bishop A. Grant, in company with a number of other physicians. At 3:30 a highly representative audience assembled at Allen Chapel, Kansas Citr, Mo., where the Doctor had been announced to lecture on the subject of "Hospitals and Nurse Training Institutions." After splendid music by the choir and invocation by Dr. O. E. Jones, of Kansas City, Kansas, Dr. Williams was introduced by Bishop Grant, who stated that he had enjoyed the acquaintance of the Doctor for eighteen years and had the highest admiration for him because of his surgical skill and ability. He said that of the twenty-five hundred medical doctors of the race in the United States, Dr. Daniel H. Williams stood at the head and had but few equals in any other race. Dr. Williams arose amid applause and disclaimed ability as a public speaker and said he would make an attempt because he had been invited to do so by the Board of Directors of Douglass Hospital and Staff of Surgeons. He handled his subject with skill and after fully developing the thought of hospitals and nurse training, he then discussed the economical, social, political and educational questions. After speaking an hour he took his seat amid applause and it was difficult for the audience to harmonize their judgment with the expression that he was not a public speaker. He made no attempt at oratory but simply dwelt on solid facts which reached the hearts of every hearer. After introductions and hand shakings the benediction was pronounced by NUMBER 18 for Secretary Taft! ands Plaindealer Advertising profitable.

C. Uthank and Dr R. H. Waterford of Oklahoma, he visited the Western University. Here he made healthful remarks to the faculty and student body of two hundred and seventy-eight. From thence to the residence of Dr. J. N. Birch, of Kansas City, Mo., where a number of the visiting physicians were dined. Dr. Birch is one of the progressive and prosperous physicians of this great city of three hundred and fifty thousand population, and perhaps one of the most wealthy men of the race. At 10 p.m. the twenty-three physicians and fifty-five prominent citizens of the two cities prepared a reception at the Compton hotel for the gentleman of fame and visiting physicians, and the evening was spent in the spacious dining room, under the management of Dr. Perry with Dr. S. H. Thompson, Kansas City, Kas, presiding. It was said to be one of the most pleasing and satisfactory receptions ever tendered a professional man visiting this city. The welcome address was delivered by the Hon. Nelson Crew Clerk of the Police Court, Kansas City, Mo. Prof. G. N. Grecham, Pin Lincoln High school, Kansas City, Mo., responded to a toast in his usual happy manner. Judge I. F. Bradley, former president of the Douglas hospital, told of the early struggles of that institution. Dr. T. C.

T., paid tribute to the ability of the great doctor. The sentiment of all present was that we wish to have Dr. Williams with us two or three times each year, believing that his presence would not only be helpful to the physicians but to the general public as well On April 25th, at 11 a. m., the doctors were again at Douglass hospital and at 1:30 p. m. dined with Dr. S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City, Kansas. Here a number of doctors and their friends assembled and enjoyed a bounteous repast.

Once tried, always used. "Perfection" flour. THE PASSING OF Of Negro lawyers. probably none in Kansas attained a higher rank in the profession than did the late George Washington Jones of Hill City. Kansas. Born in Mississippi during ante bellum days, reared under the disadvantages peculiar to the South. Jim Crowism, ostracism and Tillmanism, he managed to keep alive within him the spark of ambition. He began the practice of law in his native state nearly thirty years ago, moved to Nicodemus in Graham county, Kansas, twenty-one years ago. and the next year settled in Hill City, the county seat town of said county, where he continued the practice until the date of his death, April 7th, 1908. George W. Jones was a remarkable lawyer. Strong in physique, forceful in argument, cunning and practical, clever and combative almost to a fault, he never failed to gain for his client every advantage which the rules of forensic conflict would admit. He was especially successful in criminal practice, as is evidenced by the fact that for many years not a single important prosecution has been conducted in Graham County without G. W. Jones as leading or associate counsel for prosecution or defense. During late years his criminal practice extended into neighboring counties. In fact it was while conducting the defense of an arson case in Trego county that he was stricken with what proved to be his fatal illness. Mr. Jones served two terms as county attorney of Graham County, during which time he achieved an enviable reputation as a prosecutor. He was a Negro, but where his ability was known no man in need of counsel was ever known to make All Kinds of Coal, Lime, Cement and Plaster.

He can name all the stae capitals in the U. S.; can tell you who is the editor of the Plaindealer in Topeka, and what nationality he is; tell who is the registrar of the U. S. treasury and his nationality; who discovered America; what month and date; also who was the first president of the U. S., and who is presi dent now and who was president before Ronneelt He is quite a curiosity for his age. He was three years old the 4th of last December. How is this, Mr. Editor? ARE YOU SICK?

Va., April 3, 1908, of general peritonites, confined to bed only one day. Sir Knights, in his death our loss is irreputable; Pythianism has lost a mighty leader and champion and our race a great and good man. Words cannot convey to you the depths of my sorrow at this time at his untimely death; cut down in the prime of life in the very midst of his usefulness he has fallen asleep; he has laid his arm down at Jesus feet, and now rests from his labors. He waits for you and me. "Over the river his face I see. Fair as the morning, looking for you and me; Free from sorrow, grief and despair. Waiting and watching patiently there. Safe with the angels, witer than snow. Watching for dear ones, waiting below." Now, know ye, therefore, I. Jno. E. Lewis, Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of the State of Kansas, doth hereby order that each Castle Hall be draped with mourning, hunting, and to remain draped for a period of thirty (30) days. All Lodges will drape their Charter with crepe, to remain draped for a period of six (6) months; and it is further ordered that Memorial services be held by each lodge on the first meeting in May, to the memory of our departed brother.

To them 11 children were born, two of whom have gone on before him in their infancy. He was survived by a wife, six daughters and three sons, three grandchildren. He was true and unright in every respect. He took up the work of the Lord when he was a small boy and held out faithfully until the end. He seemed to know that the end was near and he said, all is well: I will soon cross over in the land of rest. He has a host of friends and two brothers and one sister. He did great work in the cause of Christ. He established two churches—one at Hutchinson in which Rev. Barnew is pastor in charge now and the one at our city.

T Mosby, pastor of Greenwood Baptist church, absolutely refused to conduct the funeral services of (name withheld) last Sunday, April 26. Shortly after taking his pulpit Rev. Mosby announced that as the negroes of the twin cities have several undertakers it is the duty of every negro family whose house is visited by death to employ one of the undertakers of our race. He remarked: "If all the people would support them that they would be able to employ more help and we would have more undertakers coming out every year. It would establish more business enterprises in the black race, make them more enthusiastic and eventually lead up to our young men becoming merchants instead of laborers." His cry is: "Patronize your own race and prosper." So last Sunday when a funeral came to the church Rev. Mosby asked what undertaker was officiating. When told that it was Carroll and Davidson he said: "Then take it to the white church and let the white minister conduct the funeral services. Help them along just as you have done for the last forty years and the negro race will never amount to anything." HIGGINSVILLE, MISSOURI.

SOME OF THE GOOD POINTS OF THE NEIGHBORS. The Neighbors of the Hearthstone of Kansas City, Missouri, whose name has been often mentioned in these columns in letters of thanks from their members who have received benefits, have several unique features in their benefits. One is that the benefits increase ten per cent each year for five years. In other words, giving the member the profit on his membership. Another is the fact that incorporated under the same laws as the Masons, Odd Fellows etc, they do not have to pay taxes or license fees in any state. This saves hundreds of dollars each year which goes to the members. They show they have the courage of their convictions when they offer $100 reward for a single just claim which they have failed to pay. This speaks most highly for them. Any man or woman needs benefits and if he can get them when disabled will surely become a member. The Neighbors have hundreds of letters on file showing how their members regard them. They have put in strong Hearthstones in a number of towns in the state among which are Hutchinson, Newton, and Strong City. They are offering big inducements to organizers in Kansas and Oklahoma. A.

The "Buzzard Roost" politicians met at their retreat on Kansas Avenue Monday evening and proceeded as usual to belittle men who are their superiors. Five leading vultures, who can scarcely find enough carion to devour were sent out by the more active Buzzards to belch forth their ill-smelling fumes in the form of a "resolution" upon Prof. Vernen, National Committee D.W. Mulvane and ye editor. The "resolution" was brought forward ordering the carniverous bipeds to proceed on Vernon and Chiles, saying these men wanted to lead this flock of midnight vultures! God knows that we do not want anything to do with such humans in buzzard form, and as they are very useful to have around to devour carion and filth, we will lower our trusty gun and spare their lives. In sailing around they will soon discover the stench of that which is so appeasing to their appetite come from their own yard, and once they swop down upon it, they will find enough to be kept busy until the last of the flock is dead, darred and in hell. We council with progressive colored people; those who are getting farms, building homes and making positions for their children. We would not attempt to lead none but the best element of the race. As to the flock of buzzards that met Monday night, God wouldn't have them; the devil don't want them and we know Taft could not use them! "JIM" CADY HAS MADE GOOD Hon. Jas. A. Cady, Superintendent of the State Reformatory, Hutchinson, was in Topeka yesterday, on business, and was a pleasant caller at THE PLAINDEALER office. Mr. Cady is from Linn county, and his appointment to this position is but a just recognition of one of the best young men in Kansas. The writer has known Mr. Cady from childhood, and no bigger hearted, nobler gentleman ever lived. He is a native of Linn county, where he was twice elected county clerk, receiving the largest majority ever given a candidate for this position. "Jim" as he is familiarly dubbed, has a host of warm friends in Topeka and throughout the state, and his good, honest, clean administration of affairs at the Hutchinson institution is giving such splendid satisfaction that he can have the place as long as he desires. He is a son of Mr. John F. Cady, a pioneer Kansan and highly respected business man of Pleasanton. --- WASHINGTON, April 29-Only the fact that designing politicians are seeking to inject a race issue into the coming presidential campaign makes it necessary at this time to refer to Secretary Taft's attitude toward the Negro. So far as Secretary Taft is concerned there is and can be no race issue, and no combination of circumstances can put him on the defensive in regard to this matter, although repeated misstatements of facts and misrepresentations may require some reiteration of his utterances and the repetition of the statement of his position. Mr. Taft has often said as far back as he could remember his ideal of patriotic feeling, derived from the political attitude of his father and mother, was closely associated with the hatred of slavery and sympathy with the Negro race. Subsequently, under Republican tutelage, that sympathy diffused itself into a strong political bias in favor of the maintenance of the political rights of the colored man. There is where Mr. Taft stands, and has always stood—for the equal rights of all men, whether black or white, and without regard to the section of the country in which they make their homes. Recalling the brave and manly position which his father, the late Judge Taft, as attorney general in President L. S. Grant's cabinet, took in the effort to enforce the Fifteenth amendment, Mr. Taft could not well be otherwise than the friend of the colored race. While Secretary Taft's opponents are criticising him, some of his public utterances should be reproduced to answer them. In his memorable speech in Brooklyn, on March 16, last on "Industrial Education: The Hope of the Negro," Mr Taft among other things said: "My friends, I am an optimist, I as have already said, I egard the signs in the South, changing in one method in respect to elections to another, as an indication that in the near future there will be a steady improvement toward a more and more equal and impartial enforcement of these electoral laws. I think so because it is the part of political and economic wisdom. The property and educational qualifications make utterly impossible a return to the abuses which many Southerners profess to fear. The so-called Negro domination is nothing but a dream and nightmare of the past. The Fifteenth amendment, while in the past it may not have accomplished all that its authors intended it should, has in it this inestimable benefit to the Negro race that it fixes a restriction upon state electoral laws that may be temporarily violated, but can never be removed. "However the opponent of equal political rights to the Negro may turn and twist, whatever devices he may invent to give a spacious appearance of legality to laws intended to exclude the Negro because of his race or color, he will find his purpose thwartek by the broad and generous scope of the language of the amendmont. "The amendment is the measure of lawfulness toward which all good movements and all progress in the South must necessarily tend. What the Negro and his friends demand is equality of enforcement of the law under the Constitution, and toward that end I feel convinced that all the influence of industrial progress in the South and the closer union between the sections necessarily are making." Here are some striking sentiments expressed by Secretary Taft on the question, in his memorable address at Lexington, Ky., in August of last year: "I am not a pessimist with respect to the race question. I am convinced that it is working itself out, and I am convinced that nothing has so much contributed to its gradual solution as the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. "Now, the method of excluding the Negro from the ballot is to have a law of ineligibility apply in its terms equally to black and whites and to secure a discrimination in favor of the white by executing the law rididly against the black and allowing the white to vote. I deplore such method. "The Negro is an American He has no other country than this, and can have no other country than this, and called upon to defend it, he lays down his life with the same freedom that the white man sacrifices his. Ours is the flag he loves—the only one he knows. It is our duty to see to it that his pain is made as easy as we can, that his progress is as incessant as proper encouragement can make it. "Propositions are made to repeal the 15th amendment. Such propositions are foolish. The people of this country would never consent to such a retrograde step. It may be that the 15th amendment is today nullified in many states. Nevertheless it stands there as a monument and a mandatory restriction upon the state laws and as an ideal toward which politically the South must work. "If the Negro responds to the opportunities for improvement as Booker Washington points them out, we can be sure that he will grow in the estimatiod of his white fellow citizens of the South, and that the great problem which has burdened the South with its race issues, will be largely solved. "All that is required is that he should not be excluded from voting because he is a Negro. If he lacks educational qualification, property qualification, or any other qualification that the state may lawfully impose as a rule of eligibility for its voters, then he may be excluded provided that every one else who lacks similar qualifications is equally excluded." No Negro has anything to fear from the election to the Presidenoy of a man who entertains such convictions as these.

L. g. Milling and Development Company, Coloado Springs, Colo The Western Trade Journal is a recent article had the following to say, concerning this company: From time to time the Western Trade Journal has had occasion to discuss in favorable terms of several Nevada companies. We have not hesitated to recommend the stock to our readers as our investigations of these enterprises have been such as to convince us that as legitimate promising mining enterprises nothing more secure is on the market. It is therefore a satisfaction to be able to add one more promising Nevada company to our list of reliable companies. In this connection we refer to the Freeman Mining, Mining and Development Co., incorporated under the laws of Arizona, capital stock $1,500,000; 750,000 shares in the treasury, par value $1, fully paid and non-assessable. The company owns and is developing the richest property in the Gold Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a mine over 10 feet and cut several good veins of rich ore, and will begin shipping ```markdown ``` This company has been the subject of painstaking investigation on the part of the Western Trade Journal, and fairness impells this statement that the most searching examination convinces us that the company offers the best form of investment in Nevada mining stock within our knowledge. For particulars not made plain by this free and unsolicited editorial, address the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., Room 1, Robbins Building, Colorado Springs, Colo. "We consider but the interest of the subscribers who may be undecided how to invest in the Nevada silver and gold mines when, without insinuating aught in detraction of other companies, we bestow our unreserved endorrment upon the Freemum Company's proposition In view of the foregoing, we feel it a duty to advise our readers who desire an interest in one of the best Nevada mining companies, to lose no time in securing some of these shares, which offer the very best security for the least money that ever come under the purview of this paper." SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE LADIES. ▲ SIMPLE METHOD OF DRESSING THE HAIR. Every lady reading this article will agree with the statement that never in their recollection was the proper care of the hair and skin quite so essential to their comfort and happiness as at this time. Nature is quite often bountiful in bestowing perfect form of figure and attractive features and yet withholds those great blessings, luxuriant hair and a perfect complexion. Proper regard for personal appearance not only while attending church and social events but in the every day walks of life seems to compel careu consideration of this subject, that only the best results may be obtained and trouble avoided. The care of the hair has always seemed the most difficult problem If it is short and thin, a luxuriant growth must be encouraged. If it is stubborn and hard to dress and arrange, some convenient method easy to use and that will not damage or cause the hair to break off at the ends or fall out must be employed. Every woman or man who has used hot irons on their hair should bear in mind that it is no longer necessary. The sore head, disagreeable odor and be scorched or dead ends of the air are warnings that a better method should be used. A large number of ladies in all parts of the country have used and endorse the new hair tonic and dressing called Stra-Ko. It is not a pomade but is a liquid that is most refreshing to the scalp, removes dandruff, invigorates and causes the hair to grow and is so easily used that only a brush and comb is required. Ironing or pressing the hair is entirely done away with. Stra-Ko can be tested in your own home at very little expense. Write to the Burton Toilet Goods Co., St. Joseph, Michigan, enclosing ten two cent stamps and they will send you a trial bottle, also a sample package of Creole Face Cream. They want local lady agents everywhere and not only give very liberal terms but when an agency is established always supply these agents with plenty of goods free for demonstration purposes, aiding their agents in every possible manner.
