Several entertainments and banquets had been arranged, a public reception was held at Phillips hall on Tuesday evening for the visitors, the welcome address being made by Mayor O. W. Sparks.

The second day session of the grand lodge of the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe resulted in the transaction of considerable business, the appointment of several committees and the hearing of reports. The addresses of the G. C. and W. C. were read and several recommendations made by them were adopted.

Fraternal greetings from A W Loyd, G C of Missouri, were read and answered. Greetings were sent to President Booker T Washington of the Colored Business Men's League now in session at Baltimore. The interesting document of the session was the report of W W Plumb, supreme grand representative, who reported in full the proceedings of the supreme session held at Louisville in 1907. The Maryland branch of the Western and Eastern Hemisphere united with the N A S A E A & A, bringing 2,800 members and their Supreme Chancellor.

A committee from the Courts of Calanthe was announced and was received with honors. They reported that their order was in an excellent condition and that no friction or disorders had arisen during the past year and that peace and harmony prevail. Dr S H Thompson responded, saying that the women were the moving power of any successful institution. A concert was given Wednesday evening at Phillips hall by the young people of Galena. Some of the best talent in music, vocal polos and recitations were on the program and a large audience enjoyed the entertainment, many from Joplin and surrounding towns being present.

Entered at the Postoffice at Topeks as Second class Mall Matter FRIDAY AUGUST 2s, 1908. THE grand jury at Springfield is grinding out indictments against those who participated in the rists. The soldiers have forever put a quietus on the mob that will forever be a lesson to the ignorant class of whites whose sole aim is to rob, plunder, steal and mob innocent Negroes. As an excuse for such action, they trump up false charges through some woman of a nervous temperment who cries some Negro attempted to assault her. We have failed to find or hear of but very few high-class women ever being insulted by colored men but on the other hand we know and hear of plenty of white men insulting colored women. Furthermore, it is a notorious fact that thousands are living in open adultery with them. In the face of all this, the white pulpit and press is silent as the grave Right must and will prevail. It makes no difference whether you be white or black, live in Japan, China or America, justice will sooner or later overtake the transgressor --- THE Tri-anniversary at Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., this week in honor of Bishop A. Grant of the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E church was a hitting tribute to a deserving man. He started from an humble slave and made himself useful at all times. His life has been an exemplary one of which all men should be proud, and the multitude that journeyed across the continent to pay homage to this distinguished gentleman can well feel that they have done no small thing. Great is Bishop Grant and this work, may he continue in his greatness. ```markdown ``` The thirty-second session of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A.M., Kansas and Jurisdiction is being held in Topeka this week in the Masonic temple owned by the Masons and Eastern Star Chapters, of this city. Much credit is due Grand Master C. H. M. Collins for the good work he has done for the uplift of the order. He is a young man of strong convictions that thoroughly understands Masonry. Prince Hall Grand Lodge has had no stronger and doubtful his equal. The order has grown and prospered under his magnificent administration. --- THE Republican chairmen from 103 counties met in Topeka Tuesday selected officers and framed a platform for the guidance of the people of this state.

The people are beginning to see the injustice done Senator Long. --- KATE HOWARD, one of the Springfield mob leaders, committed suicide as she was entering the jail door Wednesday. Thus justice is wreaking vengeance on those who persecute others. ABOUT COMPACT MASONS. The statement that there are 32 compact lodges in Kansas is erroneous. They have two that pretend to meet, but as to their existence and places of meeting the public is not aware. They are unpopular for the reason that their grand master purposes to preside over the United States and hold his office for life. In other words he is not. All of these methods have succeeded in decreasing the order until it is almost extinct save a few men who try to keep it alive for revenue only. It is very doubtful if 32 compact lodges can be found in the whole United States. INDEPENDENCE Misses Besse and Sarah Esty left for their home in Perry, Okla.

Sunday, August 10th, was a day for rejoicing at the Pleasant Hill Baptist church, a dollar rally being the motive to build up our depleted treasury.

In looking up news items were surprised to find that our people did notice the excellent opportunity to make money. The "H H" club declared a dividend on April 10th. One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, cashed in his cards at $2 73 each. Through the negligence or oversight of some people who might have taken his place in the dividends they neglected and lost that excellent opportunity. Every 48-lb sack of flour contains a card. Each of these cards is worth five cents in the purchase from the Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread Kneader. There is another way these cards can be used. Ask your grocer about it and if he cannot give you the information, ask the Topeka Milling Co. to explain it to you. A contest is now on which expires November 30th. A similar contest expired April 2nd, 1908, and some some of the cards in that contest were actually worth $272 each. It will pay you to sit up and take notice.
