R. Jackson followed. Our gallant little Commander was us full of flre, as full of sim and vigor ageser, Asa rule it takes bim about two minutes to put his audience on tlp toe and after that he does about us he pleases with the crowd, He sitk them down, stands them up, p10- sokes misth, compels attention, and ntouses the emotions and ends up with a whhlwind of patriotic elo- quence In behalf of the military de- partment, gtacefully rething amid deafening applause, Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal, C.K.

Supreme Chancellor Green is a man of small stature, The only way to compare him with Vice Chancellor Stiauthers would be to ransack Web- ster for qualifying words expressive of diminntiyvencss, But when he be- Kins to speak you gare compelled to sit up and take notice, Notwithstand: Ing the tact he presents the appear auce of one past the halt century mark, his voice is of a vinging qual- ity, forceful and clear, his sentences clean cut, his paragraphs well roun- ded, his logic convincing, his reason- fng incisive and he is as full of grace und dignity as a Japanese diplomat, When axhed [f he had not held down a ochaly of pedagogy fn one of our famots Institutions of learning In the South, he replicd in the nega- tive, | “But,” he said, “I was for twenty- eight years associated with my father jn the me:cantile business.” When asked If he was candidate to succeed himself, he sald, with a smile; “In 1860 TF was a candidate for congress from the Fifth Louisiana district, My oppouent used to have a gient deal of fun at my expense by referring to me lu his speeches a crawling, -F was elected’ but my batlot found lodge. ment in the wrong teceptade, I hope te have better Juck fn your city heat August.” Sit Green has been a Pythian 2 sears, Chaliman of Committee on Fi: nanee, Supreme Worthy Counseltor two and one-half yeuts, and succeed ed the late S.

The Poor Man's Friend, "Hardware" HomePhone 1261 West Without Having to Live on the Land a Day. The average individual thinks that the only way to get title to Government Lands is to make a homestead entry and live on the same five years before getting a title. He is of the opinion he is limited to 160 acres and he would not live on a tract of land five years if the Government would deed him over one-half of a state. There is a way for any citizen of the United States to obtain title to any Government timber or agricultural land in any state in the Union without residence or cultivation. The only way to do this is 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 issuing these certificates about the year 1883, therefore they are getting very scarce. The firm of H. B. Sanders & Co., Judge building, Salt Lake City.

Entered at the Postoffice at Topeka as Second class Mail Matter FRIDAY, JUNE 19, 1909. Henry Edmond, a colored man, who was best known, near and far, as 'Henry in Lehman's store,' died last week, after an illness of about three months. Henry came to Choptopa in 1869, when eight years old and commenced in 1872 working for the old Star store, then owned by Waterman, Weil, and Star; in 1876 William Lehman, now of Chicago became the owner, and Henry continued his job and has been working for the Lehman boys, Billy, Isidor and Sig, ever since. In 1896 Henry was presented by his employers with a good-sized solid gold medal bearing the inscription "For twenty years faithful service." This medal remained on Henry's coat lapel until the coffin was closed, when the undertaker, Mr. Anderson, removed it and handed it to Henry's son, Newton E. Henry was respected by everybody, and many who often expressed their dislike for the colored race spoke with the highest respect of Henry, because he was a good citizen and an accommodating clerk. Mr. Lehman says he never expects to have a more faithful servant, and he mourns the loss of good old Henry. Henry came in contact with a good many clerks in the store during his 36 years' service in the one place, and neither his employers nor any of the clerks ever said one harsh word of Henry. He had an exceprionally large funeral, and the floral offerings were simply beautiful—Choptopa Clipper. ARKANSA6 CITY. The Deacons' and Ministers Union conceived in this city Thursday and Friday.

LET US BE FAIR Notwithstanding the many virulent, unjust and unreasonable accusations against the Metropolitan Street Railway company, public sentiment is being crystalized and rapidly growing in favor of the granting of the conditional 34 year extension to the company. It is true that the unexpired franchise is valuable as well as the proposed extension of the franchise to the company, but the valuation of the franchise is enhanced or minimized only in proportion as the Metropolitan Street Railway company gives to the public valuable and lasting improvements which will from time to time, necessitate expenditure of many millions of dollars. In a great and growing city like Kansas City, the granting of a fifty year franchise is not excessive; but it would operate as a stimulus to the company to grant every reasonable demand of the public. Kansas City now has the best street railway system of any city of its size in the country, and there should be no attempt made at this time to delay, hinder or cripple the splendid service it is giving to the public. THE KANSAS CITY, KANSAS GIANTS are at home again full flushed over their recent success on their trip to Saint Louis and Southern Illinois. They won every game and have been going a lively gait since their return and still have their first one to lose. The boys expect a stiff proposition in the Buxton, Ia., Wonders on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The New Orleans club will be in these parts in July. We are trying to arranke to have them meet the Giants in Topeka on July 7 and 8 This will be an opportunity for all lovers of the game to see some real base ball. Sunday afternoon the former Topeka Giants, with Arch Howard, manager, will meet the Giants at Riverside Park, Second and Franklin streets, Kansas City, Kandan. Business in the Two Kansas Cities One of the greatest scientific industries of modern times is the use of electricity for lighting and heating purposes by the Kansas City Electric Light Co., of Kansas City, Mo. The various uses in which electrical appliances are used is the wonder of the twentieth century civilization. In this age of scientific development and growth, there are but few houses if any of modern design, which do not contain some of the electrical appliances of the Kansas City Electric Light Co. The use of electricity in the home is expensive, clean and minimizes the housework. The electric washing machine is the most marvelous invention of the age. As a washing machine, it is the greatest labor saving invention in existence. It will do more work in less time than any other machine and will last a lifetime. Nothing has ever been created along this line that has contributed so much for the benefit of humanity. An other wonderful invention which cannot be surpassed for economy and efficiency, is the electric flat iron which is of the highest efficiency and endurance. It is a complete departure from the old methods of construction and utilization of the latest scientific discoveries in accordance with sound engineering principles. The Petouze "Universal" iron is guaranteed to do perfect work and save from 20 to 50 per cent. In current over other irons The temperature of the "Universal" iron can be controlled while ironing by a simple motion of the hands which makes ironing a ple sure. It is quick to start and ready for use in three minutes. The Monarch Vibrators are the most wonderful exhibition of elec trical skill and ingenuity. The Vibratory Massage cannot be ex- celled for health and beauty. The Monarch Vibrator, in di- career caused by congestion, is most effective in curing theumatism, nervousness, backache, sprains, in digestion, constipation, headache, obesity, catarrh deafness, stomach trouble, weak eyes, sore throat, at ff joints, etc of Kansas City Kansas, stands among the strongest financial institutions of the state of Kansas today.
