Society Historical (Sate House) THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER If the Hon. Joseph N. Dolley, of Maple Hill, "Kant" the People "Kan" at the Next Election! THE NEGRO AT THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY Fifty-three Out of Sixty Graduates Self Supporting---Statistics by L. M. Peace, Instructor in Botany. VOLUME XI. If the Hon. Jose THE NEGRO KANSAS Fifty-three Out of Self Supporting L. M. Peace in Be Larry M. Peace, instructor in botany at the university and a holder of a master's degree from K. U. has prepared a valuable article for the Graduate Magazine on the "Negro at K. U." Mr. Peace is a leader of his race in Kansas and his story of their fight for a higher educational, told from their own standpoint is exceedingly entertaining. It is as follow: "Thirty-nine years ago, when old North college was the university, among the few lank youths and bronzed haired maidens who came from the prairies of Kansas to begin their college careers with the study of grammar, geography, arithmetic and the like, there was a single dusky face. The enrolment of the colored people in the university of Kansas began then, in 1870 when just one student, a woman, entered the freshman class of the preparatory department. It THE WORLD'S FINEST WOMAN was not until 1873, however, that this name woman, upon entering what is now the college of Liberal Arts and Sciences, became also the first colored person to do real University work. 243 COLORED STUDENTS. "The total registration of colored people in the university has been 243 men and 68 women. The six all, in fact--who came prior to 1870 were women. Beginning with two men in 1876, by far the majority of those who came later were men. At some time during the past forty years, the university has had colored students in every school and in almost every department. At present the writer does not have in mind any course for which some colored person has not enrolled. Just how many have done some work in the graduate school is uncertain; but there has been several one of whom—a man--received credit for full work leading to a degree. Counting the students of the preparatory department, there have been altogether in what is now the College of Liberal Arts --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1969. and Sciences, 118: fifty-nine men and fifty-nine women. In the school of engineering ten men have studied at least through the freshmen year. Thirty men have studied in the school of law, while only two men and seven women have enrolled in the schools of fine arts. In the school of pharmacy twenty six men and two women have been registered, as compared with a total of sixteen men in the school of medicine. EIGHT GRADUATES ONE YEAR. "During the attendance of such students at the university for forty years, the number to graduate at any one time finished in 1901, when eight degrees were granted to colored persons; five for the college, two by the school of pharmacy and one by the school of law. During all three years, only one person has appeared for a higher degree, one man having received the degree of Master of Arts in 1908. "Whatever have been the accomplishments of the colored students in the classroom, he has taken an insignificant part in university affairs in general. A few have been identified with the various university literary societies, and have even represented the university in debate. This literary inactivity is only a seeming one, for the colored students have done quite creditable things in the town literary societies which they have always maintained. They have generally supported two or three of such societies, holding weekly meetings where all the various literary programmes could be rendered. They have maintained exclusive clubs for both men and women, one of the most progressive of which is a girls' club of some years' standing. This one is strictly a university girls' club, in which, to quote from their current year book, such subjects as "Macaulay as a Critic." "Religious Troubles in England," and "Warren Hastings," are discussed. "Though they have looked well to their literary, religious and social training, they have had very little to do with athletics. Aside from one or two baseball men, and a football player the colored students have had very little interest in university sports. "Nearly of the colored students are wholly or in part self-supporting. This was the case with fifty three out of the sixty who now hold degrees from the university. It may be that the earning of one's way through school does not need to be a handicap. Those reporting on the subject differ in opinion: indeed, an examination of the records of the colored students shows that the students who labored most strenuously to meet expenses while in school often far surpassed the students who were not all self-supporting. "It may be however, that the col. ored student is somewhat handi-capped because of the nature of the work which he must perform for a living. He is usually able to obtain an abundance of work, and is willing to do it, but the work is, as a rule, not very remunerative, and of often takes his time inopportunely. There were no clerks stenographers, bookkeepers and the like among those fifty-three people who worked their way through the university. They were table waiters, janitors, porters, farmers, maids and laundresses. - However well or ill those two hundred former students and graduates farel while in school, all are emphatic in their loyalty to a great university where men and women THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM MISS HOOLY RIFLE MOUNTS, Colleyville, Contestant for the Philadelphia Piano. from the humblest walks of life, and without money, can tarry and and get wisdom THEY ALL MAKE GOOD "So far as is known, and but fourteen of these former students and graduates are still living and doing well. The dead are eleven women and three men. Of these, three one woman and two men were graduates. Of the former students, eight are practicing physicians, holding degrees from other universities Three of holding degrees from the university of Kansas are now studying in other universities for higher degrees. Of the remaining graduates of the university, one, having obtained his degree of doctor of medicine from another school is practising medicine from another M. MRS. FANNIE FUNKHOUSE, POT L. SCOTT Contestant for the Plainbaker Piano school, is practising medicine; three bachelors of law and twenty-one bachelors of arts are teaching. Of the latter, three are college proctors, two are high school teachers and three are ward principa's. Two bachelors of arts are foreign mis- sionaries. With one exception these holding degrees from the school of pharmacy are practising their profession. One law graduate is a minister of the gospel while another is in the diplomatic service of the United States. Eleven bachelors of law and one bachelor of arts are practising law. One bachelor of arts and a pharmacist are in the civil service department of the United States. One former student is a successful manufacturer". SAGRED CONCERT The sacred concert given Sunday night at the First African Baptist church under the management of Mrs. Electro Page-Perry was in every way an overwhelming success. It far excelled all entertainments ever given in Topeka. There were estimated an attendance of 500 people; the church was packed and everyone expressed themselves as having been superbly entertained. The church was beautifully decorated with palms, cut flowers and rugs which lent a picturesque appearance to the scene The historical sketch of the hymn was read by Prof J. L. Harrison and could not have been more perfectly outlined and showed plainly the great skill and brain power of the writer. Miss Selora Olen showed excellent training as an artit on the piano. Each soloist was at his best. Mr. Lisenby's voice never seemed better. Mrs J. M. Wright was perfectly at ease and her voice full of sweetness. Prof Brock was at his best his voice was clear and sweet and full of expression. Mr. Bradshaw is always a favorite as a basso, and he, too, seemed full of sentiment. The trio by E. Page Perry, A C McCulland and Prof. Brock was a very beautiful number, well rendered and in all to say was a complete gem of the program. Miss Edith Moten never aped more angelic in her life as she pantomimed the hymn while Mrs Perry sang it hidden from view, making the program all the more beautiful and impressive. We are sorry to state here that Mrs. Wells became ill and could not as ist her sister. The singers making up the chorus were Miss A. Persley. Mesdames Dskearce, Pearl Lowin and E Page-Penny sepranus; Miss Nancy Matley and Mrs. Alice McClelland, altos; Prof Brock and Mr. S. Payne, tenors Prof. S G Watkins and Mr C. Jackson, barbos. They all showed careful training and were at their post. Ushers were Mrs. J. Jackson. Little girls won took the offering were Donna G Perry, Ldith and Myrtle Turner, Ruth Collins. Miss Nellie Ellis is the organist for the choir Misses Georgia Watkins n Mastie Sneed, accompanies Topeka is justly proud of Mine Perry as a musician and conductor, she stands second to none. The services of the First Baptist church have wonderfully impressed since she took charge of the churc and the chair under her instruction ranked as the best in the best in the city. Any churc would be glad to get her services and the First Baptist church would congratulate itself. She is an artist; singe in three other languages German, Italian and Latin, therefore it can be plainly understood why such an excellent high class program was given NUMBER 24 Last week we had the pleasure of inspecting the largest and finest country residence west of the Mississippi. It is located on the souberba of the little village of Edwardsville, Kas, nine miles west of Kansas City. This beautiful home is owned by J. G. Groves, the potato king. It stands on a beautiful knoll overlooking the valleys and surrounding country. Terraces, trees, blue grass, concrete walks and drives add to the beauty of the place. It is a twenty-two room structure built of vitrified, rolled edge, pressed Spanish patent brick, with basement and amusement hall where the children and their guests can dance, skate, hold concerts or amuse themselves at athletic sports. It is modern throughout with verandas and porticos. The large concrete basement will be used for a laundry and teating aparatus and labatory. First floor, double parlor, setting rooms, two dining rooms, reception hall, pantry and kitchen. Second floor: large, a modious bed rooms and a hall which is encircled by a winding stairway. Third floor, the amusement hall and Mr. Groves's private den where his desk, safe, telephone etc. are located. On the second floor, in Mrs. Groves's private chamber and four living rooms and also bath rooms. The first door will be finished in quarter sawn oak from the plain. 10 ing mil s of Minnesota. The mantel in one parlor will be intard with an American eagle made of holy wood and mahogany; second floor of antique oak; third floor of yellow pine. The building will be fire-proof with a tile roof. The architect and contractors are all colored men, and when completed will cost $25,000, the continent country home owned by a white or colored man west of the Mississippi Bishop A Grant visited St James Church last week and reported everything in fine condition. He entered at Washington hall on Monday evening to a crowded house. Several of the lodges turned out in a body on an escort. Its subject was "the Value of Discontent." It was the largest past lecture that the bishop has delivered since he has been connected with the Fifth Episcopal district. The clerked people of Omaha are public spirited. The bishop's first conference will be held in Helena, Montana July 22nd. He will also visit Wicheroforce this month, so he is a member of the board.

Besides being the only perfect device for drying the hair quickly, it works wonderfully in that it will surely straighten early hair and gives it the natural fluffy and wavy appearance so much desired. Its regular use will increase the growth of the hair in beautiful waves. The Magic should not be judged by some of its poor limitations. Do not be deceived; get the genuine. See by this picture that you are getting a haudsome toilet article for your money. The Magic Aluminum Comb is never heated directly; it takes a moderate heat from the steel bar (which alone is heated, the comb being removed for the time). It can never burn the hair or scalp. STEEL HEATING BAR SHAMPOO DRIER MFG. CO. MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. HOW TO USE THE MAGIC ALUMINUM COMB The Handsome Aluminum Comb is never heated directly. The glass, which holds in place, is released by turning the handle. Then the comb is heated (like a curling iron in a gas bottle lamp). The comb is slipped back into place, the handle turned and the Magic is ready for use. Hundreds of hairs write us that they wouldn't attempt to arrange their hair without the Magic. We positively guarantee that it will straighten their hair without injury to the hair or scalp, and, by keeping the heat free from dandruff, it increases the growth of the hair. Hair dried and straightened in 30 minutes after shampoo by using the Magic. Do not be deceived by limitations, buy the genuine, get the best-soid to fashionable ladies for yours, it always gives satisfaction. AGENTS WANTED IN EVERY TOWN But don't wait for an agent.

I had pains in my left side, and under my shoulder blade, could not sleep on the left side, and was so short of breath the least exertion would bring on the most distressing palpitation. I had scarcely taken a half bottle of the Heart Remedy before I could see a marked change in my condition. When I had taken six bottles I was cured." MRS. C. C. GORKEY, Northfield, VA If there is fluttering or palpitation it is an indication of a weakness of the nerves and muscles of the heart. It is not necessarily diseased—just weak from over-work. The heart may be weak just the same as the eyes, stomach or other organs. You can make a weak heart strong by taking Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy.
