THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER What do You Think? Notes Gathered From all Over! JEFFERSON CITY, MO. We are nearing the close of another year's work and while this is my first year at Lincoln, I have found my work pleasant, also the president and faculty. The campus is arrayed in all of its glory. Prof. West has spared no effort in beautifying it, and a more beautiful sight for a school could not have been chosen. Here in this majestic and imperial commonwealth on this beautiful hill near which the mighty Missouri silently wends its peaceful way, the good people of this magnificent state have built this institution upon the breast of her soil that the burning of the midnight oil back in the '60s would not be in vain but should aid in the advancement of the generations of today and those yet unborn in the onward strides in civilization. Less than seven years ago when conditions seemed less favorable for our people the state was in search of a mentally, morally and physically strong man, one who possessed tact, ability and integrity to marshal the great destinies of this institution and by his worth, magnitude and unquestionable qualifications Dr. B. F. Allen was chosen. From a school of two hundred students, by his carefully administered wisdom Lincoln Institute has grown to six hundred for whom he has been shaping the destiny and guarding the character and intellect. Two hundred and sixteen have under his administration earned a degree in the literary department. This is the only colored normal giving sophomore certificates that are recognized by the state to teach without examination for a period of two years and a lifetime certificate at graduation from the full normal course. Dr. Allen counsels no man to drop the ears, but like himself, while others sleep, he urges all to toll upward in the night. 'Tis a time honored custom that the career, fortune and destiny of a man must be shaped on the anvil of adversity and ushered into the march of civilization by the principles of education. No loss is it the true significance of a pure life that in raising the criterions of an institution whose magnitude shines forth as a beacon light to guide the wayward traveler on his journey through this world, those beings who uphold the essential principles and teach to the multitudes the necessity of righteousness should be those of honest purpose, pure intent, and noble course. For it is the duty of all to aid in leading the people up the intellectual highway and to God's alter, where we freely think and follow our own dictates. MRS. F. L. WASSON. Lincoln Institute.

Bernard Winn Because it cures the scalp of all diseases and slops the hair at once from falling out, and starts at once to growing. During my many years of research, endeavoring to find something to improve my own hair, in preparations manufactured by others I was always unsuccessful, until through the Divine Providence of God I was permitted in a dream to discover the preparation that I am now placing at the disposal of thousands who are today in the same condition that I was in just three years ago. Fifteen years ago my hair began breaking off and falling out, and I tried everything mentioned to me without any result, until I discovered the preparation that I am now placing on the market. This has proven to be the most wonderful preparation for the growth of the hair ever discovered and it is positively guaranteed to grow and stop the hair at once from falling out when used as directed. There are thousands of persons in the United States using my preparations, all of whom are being benefitted in the same way, and there is nothing but words of praise for my goods coming from all sections of the country. The pictures above show the improvement in my hair after three ydars' use. These cuts were made from my own personal photographs. The one with short hair was taken before I ever dreamed of my discovery. The ones with the hair down show the improve-made after three years use.

Certain Old Soldiers Have Land Claims Coming to Them From the Government. Any old Union Soldier or Sailor who served 90 days or longer in the late War of the Rebellion, and who went west after the war and made a homestead entry in any state in the Union for either 40, 80 or 120 acres before June 22nd, 1874, has a claim coming to him from the Government. It does not make any difference whether he proved upon his homestead entry or simply left it. There were thousands of old soldiers who went to Kansas and Nebraska after the war and took up 80 acre homesteads and when the grasshoppers and hot winds came along simply left their entries and went back east. Each of these men have claims. Under a Supreme Court decision these claims are assignable. R. H. Peale, Judge building, Salt Lake City, Utah, perfects th title to these claims and will pay the highest market price for same. If the soldier is dead the widow or heirs can sell this right. If a soldier never made an entry he has nothing to sell. NOTICE. In the Probate Court of Shawnee county, Kansas. In the matter of the estate of Sidney Drane, deceased.

A friend recommended Dr. Miles' Nervine, and although skeptical at first, I soon found myself recovering, and am to-day well." MRS. D. I. JONES, 5800 Broadway, Cleveland, O. Much sickness is of nervous origin. It's the nerves that make the heart force the blood through the veins, the lungs take in oxygen, the stomach digest food, the liver secrete bile and the kidneys filter the blood. If any of these organs are weak, it is the fault of the nerves through which they get their strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine is a specific for the nerves. It soothes the irritation and assists in the generation of nerve force. Therefore you can hardly miss it if you take Dr. Miles' Nervine when sick. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money. idence of Mrs. Sarah James, Friday evening. A grand time is expected.

We do not exaggerate when we say that the Highland Cemetery is one of the greatest enterprises that is operated and conducted by negroes for the exclusive use of the negro race in Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kans., and adjacent territory. It can be truthfully stated that no where in the United States can there be found such a magnificent cemetery for the exclusive use of the negro race, so admirably situated and having a southern and western slope, which gives it a picturesque and artistic appearance. The Highland Cemetery has acquired thirty acres of land facing on Blue Ridge Boulevard just off Fifteenth Street and but a few blocks beyond the City limits. It is particularly accessible and has been passed upon by cemetery experts as topographically perfect for cemetery use. We have visited this cemetery and we must say that its sublimity and granduer was entirely beyond our expectations and we know that the colored people can not be otherwise than well pleased at having such a beautiful cemetery of their own. Grounds. The work already planned and now under way, includes the resurfacing building and macadamizing the driveways and paths, the buildings of an elegant ornamental entrance, supertendent's lodge, receiving vault, the chapel, the planting of trees, shrubbery and vines, and the construction of two beautiful lakes. No other site in the country combines all the advantages of location, proportion, soil, elevation and other features necessary to make a park or lawn cemetery. It is conceded by those of authority on cemeteries that the park-like appearance produced by clean, undulating lawns, broken only by scipentine drives, trees and shrubs, with clean-cut lines of the monuments showing against the background of the foliage, is most beautiful and picturesque and a great improvement over the miscellaneous and cut-up appearance of the old-time grave yard. All these modern and distinctive features you will find in Highland Cemetery, Kansas City's burial park. And it is the intention of the management with the loyal co-operation of the lot owners and aid of nature, to make this the most beautiful cemetery in Missouri and the finest cemetery devoted to the exclusive use of the negro race in the United States. The members of this board are elected to serve until further notice. Vacancies by resigning, death or removal will be filled by the Board of Directors. On page 2 will be found half-tone pictures of the members. The Advisory Board consists of the following well-known gentlemen: Rev. W. H. Peck Pastor, Allen Chapel M. E.

Davis, Pastor, Central Methodist Church, Undertaker, 1820 I2. 18th St. We would especially call your attention to the personnel of the Advisory Board. The officers and directors of Highland have given much study and care to the make-up of this Board, who will practically govern and control the cemetery. They are men well known to you all, and we feel, truly representative. In choosing such a body their fitness and familiarity with the work in hand must be first given careful consideration. In presenting this board for the consideration and endorsement of the negro race, we hope all will feel that the sacred enterprise is in the hands of those who will faithfully guard your interests. For them we solicit your hearty support and able assistance, for they are particularly interested in the triumphant success of this great undertaking. Their united efforts in the interest of Highland Cemetery will cause it in the years to come to speak in mute eloquence of the devotion of the living. Perpetual Maintenance. A most important feature of Highland Cemetery is the perpetual care given to all lots and graves. To insure this, a perpetual maintenance fund will be created by deeding to this fund every fifth lot. This system is in vogue in all cemetery corporation of recent organization. It safeguards the lot owner in that a large surplus is not being created which may be swept away by unwise investments. When all lots of the Company will have been sold, the cemetery as a whole, will be transferred to a Board of Trustees composed of negroes, elected by the lot owners themselves. They can then establish a permanent maintenance fund by continuing the sale of lots originally deeded to this fund. When a lot is sold arrangements for perpetual care is thus made, and under no other conditions is a lot sold. Many persons in selecting a lot in a cemetery fall to realize the importance of a perpetual maintenance fund as an insurance against decay and neglect, which some day, without doubt, overtakes cemeteries not thus protected.

HOW TO OBTAIN GOVERNMENE - TIMBER OR AGRICULTURAL LANDS Without Having to Live on the Land a Day. The average individual thinks that the only way to get title to Govetn- ment Lands !s to make a homestead entry and live on the same five scars before getting a title. He is of the opinion he fs limited to 160 acres and he would not Ilve on a tract of land five yoars if the Government would deed him over one-half of a atate. There is a way for any citizen of the United States to obtaln title te any Government timber or agricul- tural land in any state in the Union without residence or cultivation. The only way to do this {s to buy U. S. Government Land certificates and pay for your land with same. Railroads and timbermen obtain title to Government Land in this way. The Government discontinued tasu- ing these certificates about the year 1882, therefore they are getting very scarce, The firm of H. B, Sanders & Co,, Judge building, Salt Lake City, Utah, hase secured a few thousand acres of them that they are offering at the rate of $25.00 per acre, The certificates come {n SO and 120 acre pleces, and can be located on any tluber or agricultural tand in Alaska or any state in the Union. Each plece has a letter of approval attached to it fiom the Governnient, and there is no limit to the time in which to locate them. According to the official report of the Depaitment of the Interior under date of July 1, 1908, there is still over 75 million acres of unappropriated land in Oregon, Washington, Califor- nla and Idaho, Some of the Mnest timber land In the wold ts open for entry in these states.
