E conference closed its annual session Monday after having been in session since Wednesday of the previous week. The session was one among the best held for several years and put new life in the work at this place. Rev. Lerrill. the pastor, his congregation and friends are to be congratulated upon the excellent manner in which they entertained the conference. The session was harmonious from start to finish. The few changes made show that Bishop Grant knows his men. The four years men were mostl the ones changed. The conference was honored with the presence of Rt Rev. Bishop Lee of the South Carolina a conference who is assisting Bishop Grant, who is somewnat indiposed. He is an excellent preceding officer, a scholar and is historian of the A. M. E. church. The West will need him when Bishop Gant retires. A number of visitors were present, Watson, Beckett, and several of the officers of the general conference. A resolution was passed to ask the Kansas legislature to place the bust of John Brown in the hall of fame at Washington. D C Hon Dr, R. Anthony, Jr, congressman from the first district of Kansas. and W R Biddle, director of the Kansas pententiary, addressed the conference. There were several contributions to Western University. Miss Lancaster of Independence gave $.00. She is a young lady, well fixed in this world's goods Prof. Vernon spoke on "Education," and showed the progress being made over the country. Rev. C A. Woods of Arkansas City preached the missionary sermon and it was one of the best eve. heard in the Kansas conference.

A reward of $200 was offered by the league, a resolution reading as follows: Be it resolved, That we, the members of the Negro Business league of Omaha, believing as we do in stamping out crime and the bringing of criminals to justice, do hereby call upon all law-abiding citizens to do all in their power to aid the officers of the law in clearing up this most atrocious and blood-thirsty crime, to the end that the culprit may be brought to justice, and be it further Resolved, That we offer a reward of $200 to any one who may give the information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the guilty patty; and be it further Resolved, That we call upon the city, county and state officials to aid us, by offering whatever reward that their departments can legally offer, for the apprehension and conviction of such criminals. The League organized with the election of John Grant Pegg as president, Harvey Saunders, vice president: G. W. Obee, secretary; Alphonso Wilson, treasurer; Dr. A. G Elwanda, auditor; and Dr. J. H.

The local Negro Business League met Friday evening, Oct. 1, with President John G Pegg presiding and all the officers in their stations.

Miss Minnie Page after spreading several weeks visiting her sister, Mrs J G Pegg, has returned to her home in Topeka Dr Lsonard E Britt has opened an office over the People's Drug Store, 108 S. 14th street and we speak for him much success. Alex Tillerly jr., read a very interesting paper before the business league on Friday evening. Miss Elnora Carter of the Obee undertaking company has been on the sick list for several days, Fred L Smith is all smiles over the fact that his father and mother of Danville, Ills, are here visiting him. G Wade Obee, our up to date undertaker and embalmer, is getting nearly all the Negro trade. Mrs Bertha Hawkins returned on Tuesday from a pleasant visit to Kansas City.

Senator Buchan is Being Boomed for Congress---The Consolidated Electric Light and Power Company Will Be Granted a Franchise. By Adolph Griffin, Editor and Manager Kansas City Department. Senator Buchan is being mentioned by his friends and newspapers of the Second district as a candidate for congress. We do not know whether the Senator will accept of this honor or not, but if he would there is no power on earth that could beat him for this place. He has a host of friends who would like to see him go to congress from this district as there is no man who would better represent the people than senator Buchan is one of the best lawyers in the state and stands high in the ranks of the profession. He has done much for Kansas City the state and district and the people have confidence in his integrity to do as much again. His opinion on some of the most important questions of law have been sought by men of great legal ability all over the state. He is a man of the people and is ever alert to their interest. He is one among the few that can always be relied upon in or out of politics, and is a staunch friend of those who toil for their bread. Senator Buchan has contributed much time and money to the success of the Republican party, and with a few more like him, Kansas would be greatly benefited. * * * The development and growth of the Co.

The development and growth of the Consolidated Electric Light and Power Company is largely due to the splendid executive ability of Mr. M. T. Flynn, who has been local manager for many years. Mr. Flynn is popular with all classes and is familiar with every detail of the Company's business. Kansas City, Kansas uses the Consolidated Electric Light and Power Company's light for illuminating the city and it is one of the best lighted cities of its size in the West, and if the people will do their duty, which we have no reason to doubt, they will demand that the city council grant the franchise to the said Consolidated company. The Company has made good and done much to improve the condition of the city by rendering prompt service, and at the same time adding to its glory and beauty. We predict that the franchise will carry without a single vote against it. The business men are much interested in granting the franchise, and with a man at the head of the concern like Mr. Flynn we know that there will be no delay when the time arrives to grant such a franchise. Mr. Flynn is a man just in the prime of life, unassuming in his manner and attained his present high position by attenting strictly to business and putting forth every effort at all times to please the public. He is a staunch friend of labor and is always willing and ready to assist any enterprise which has the tendency to advance them and their cause. Those who contemplate building should see that their houses are properly wired for the use of electric lights, irons and many other electrical devices which are inexpensive and great labor savers. Electric light should be used in the home because it is clean and reduces the house work. Misses Alice Potte and Blossie Harper visited St Joseph last week.

W T Yernon, Rev. W. T McDonald and Dr C M. Moatca. We enjoyed a ride in the doctor's fine sunmobile, making the trip in twenty five minutes—fourteen miles. Warden Codding invd Mr. Vernon to address the prisoners at the morning service. We arrived in time to see them in reh from their settle in the music of the band. The men were allowed to talk and make merry and we shook nands with many whom we know. A platform was arranged on the grass with chairs and the visitors were invited to take seats with the warden and chaplain The saviors were served with a song and prayer by the chaplain There are a number of good singers and musicians in the institution. Prot. Vermon spoke for thirty minutes on "Christian Work and its Effect" He said the world had plenty on the outside for them to do and that they should not be discouraged, that Christianity was drawing the people closer together They cheered him for his words of encouragement. Rov McDonald said to them that if he had the power he would unlock the doors and send every man home to his wife, mother or sweetheart. The boys enjoyed this remark and applauded lustily. The chaplain paid a fine compliment to the visitors and invited them to call again. Warden Codding is an ideal Christian gentleman and has a heart as big as they make them He is trying to reform the men by giving a few privileges and they all appreciate what is being done. The chapain seems to be a man of high Christian type, one who loves prison work We believe the two gentlemen will bring the institution up to that place where where men who leave will be ashamed to return. The men are under perfect control. e , eo. = hRitbed ow ars wane the ene a grant Pee eee a a ee AMM A a cattle ie A SR a te a etl ta te elm TT sical ia ti, ae Reece Bl LINCOLN, NEBR. Rev. J. F.

RESPECT FOR PATROTISM. The action of the Negro min. isters of the Kansas A. M. E. conference just closed, in start- ing a movement to place the statute of John Brown in statu- ary hall in the national capitol, is an action that reflects a good deal of credit upon the conference and also makes to- ward the establishment of a state pride of Kansas patriots among the population of the state. Much has been said and prob- ably will be said about John Brown, both by these who be- lieved and those who claim not to have believed in him. No doubt he had some erroneaus ideas. But he also had the courage of feart and hand to follow what he thought was the right line of action to work about the good of his country and his chosen territory. What this country needs is fewer men to find fault with its patriots and more to respect the spirit in which these patriots acted. The Negroes of the state owe not aiittle to the sentiment of John Brown of Kaasas, and it they further the cause of placing his statute inthe national hall of statutes they will be duing no more than they should, and ought to ‘meet the encourage- ment of public spirited Kan- sans,—Leaverworth Times. | Tut President is a splendid man, yet it makes us a little nervous to sce him hob-nobbing with Southerners, Tux commission gevement scheme should be crushed by all means. If it carries, the city will be in the clutches of five czars andthe poor people will have no voice inthe affairs of the city. IN RETURNING the Rev. J. E. Edwards for a fifth time to the pastorate of Saint John church, Topeha, the A. M.E. Confirence showed wisdom and sound busi- ness judgment, Rev. Edwards has begun a work that would require years of worry and hard struggle for a stranger to con.- plete and then perhaps fail He has mapped out a geod, sound business course that is bound to succecd He is agreat pilut and has his forces thoroughly orga- nized and all are struggling for ose common end, Wr arn pleased to see the Grand Louye of Masons site) deliver such a crushing blow. to an attempt to inject the «question of raceinto its clection of offi- cers, If there isan institution on earth which stands for the quality of man it is the Masonic order and the distribution cf anonymous circulars which had for their purpose the defeat of man's laudable ambition to be promoted was a Masonic crime and is so regarded and will be so treated if the perpetrators can be detected. The Grand Master was loud in his condemnation of the matter and it will be a long time before there is a repetition of such a dastardly act.—Ex. | Tne old fashioned Emanci- pation celebration is now a relic of bygone days. In years past Emancipation day was looked forward to with great joy by young and old. It was a day of rejoicing, and good fellowship reigned supreme. It was the one day inthe year that the Ne- gro forgot his sorrows, and huaodreds of old friends would assemble and pay homage to the greatest of all Americans, Abra- ham Lincoln. No one ever dreamed of charging at the gate or for what people ate—every- thing was {ree and white people found as much enjoyment at one of these celebrations as did the ‘black. Time has worked radi. cal changes. The volitical graf- ter has took command. He charges at the gate, sells stand priviledges and collects co much per frum candidates and office- holders to ‘defray expenses,"’ thus feathering his nest for the chilly blasts of winter. The thinking, industrious element of the race have caught on and now out herein Kansas where the most enthusiastic cele- brations were held, Emancipation day passes unnoticed save by the political grafter and a few un- suspecting people who have net as yet learned the fact that they are being used to eprich| the coffers of men who follow the graft route for their bread.
