Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER At Present Kansas is Busy Figuring on Relieving Herself from the Clutches of "Reform" VOLUME XI. A THRIFTY We had the pleasure of meeting one of the most substantial colored farmers and business men of Colorado at Leavenworth. He was in attendance on the United States court, and is the only colored man in that community. Mr. Daniel Brooks is the man and he was born in Cleveland County, North Carolina. He settled in Colorado July 13,1877 stopping at La Junta, where he worked on the railroad and later went to the farm. He accumulated about $900, returned to North Carolina brought his mother, three brothers and a sister to Colorado. The tickets cost $85 each. Mr. Brooks' grandmorher purchased their freedom when mere babies by washing gold at night in the hills of North Carolina. He owus 60 acres of the best irrigated land at Fowler, Colo He shipped six cars of watermelons and cantalopes off his farm this year; gathered 900 buhels of apples; raised 14 tons of sugar beets on 14 acres of land and sold them for $5 per ton, and raised over one hundred tons of alfafa; has hogs, chickens,cows, horses and mules galore He purchased the entire apple crop of another man consisting of over 6,000 bushels, paying $1,600 for the crop which was owned by J. J. Campbell, of Danville, Ill., whose crchard joins his farm. Mr. Brooks ships to many points over the country and parties desiring to purchase fruit will no doubt save money by writing him. Mr. Brooks has a wife, two children and four stepchildren. Mrs Taylor, wife of Rev. J. F. C., Lincoln, Neb., is one of his stepdaughters. This most remarkable man is king of colored producers, and his thrift, energy and enterprise should quicken the pulse of the younger folk of the race and spur them onward to attain higher things in life. He also feeds several hundred head of sheep every year, carries a large bank account and stands high in the community and state. He is liberal, painstaking and a splendid business man, and our only regret is that we haven't thousands like him. There is plenty of land and an opportunity for the race notwithstanding there is a class of white people who do not want to see them succeed. Let us have more men like Daniel Brooks. NEWTON, KANS.

Fletcher is to-day having papers prepared in a suit against the Rock Island Railway Company for damages. Mr. Fletcher purchased a ticket from Kansas City, Kansas, to El Reno, Okla. After boarding the train at Kansas City, he went as far as Herrington, Kas, where he was forced to lay over in the depot from 4 o'clock until 8 o'clock the next morning. After --- aking his train for El Reno he was carried as far af Cald well where his riding in the chair car, which he was entitled to do under the interstate commerce law, was objected to. After Fletcher had agreed to accept the Jim Crow law, the train only had chair cars and he was asked to get off and wait for the next train, which he refused to do. The conductor refused to put on another coach for the accommodation of the Negro passengers. He placed on the rear end of his train a box car which he wanted the Negroes to ride in, which they refused to accept. They had to stay in Cald well until 5 o'clock. When the next train arrived they were forced to buy new tickets, as the auditor objected to their riding in his Jim Orow cars on the tickets they had. Mr. Fletcher will bring suit to-day, as the delay caused him to be laid off from his job for 60 dyays without pay from his company. Pinkston Visits His Former Home! Officer K. K.

He owns considerable property here and is an honored citizen. After an absence of twenty-seven years he had almost lost sight of various old landmarks. Regarding his trip he says: "I met many of my school mates grown gray, and many of them have engaged in business and have become wealthy. "My first stop was at Holly Springs Miss., which has a population of 3500 colored people, with 13 substantial business houses owned and operated by colored people and three general merchandise stores, a jewelry store, six groceries, restaurants, barbershops, pantitoriums, a newspaper called the Mississippi Odd Sellow in connection with an insurance and entowment company, of which E. H. McKissack is the business manager. Last year he paid in claims $10,000,000. I also visited for three days throughout the country and found that the Negro is an extensive land owner, with stock and mone in the bank. The Negroes of Mississippi own and control thirteen substantial banks I spent a day and night in Memphis. The majority of labor is performed by Negroes. All through the South they are employed as hack drivers, baggage men, searchmen, brakemen and firemen. "Wound Bayou, Mine, is a town of 3,000 inhabitants, not one of whom is white. Everything operated by Negroes "Among the successful business men are the following: J H D. Robins, capitalist, Durant, Miss Phillip Pinkston, Joe Hodges, Ben Halmerton, farmers; H. W. Dex merchant; Dr. Howard, Baxter Leach, printer; Mrs. Cole, milliner; C. H Harper, jeweler, and many others." LAWN TENNIS IN DENVER. The Y. M C B. tennis club has just closed very successful season. Beginning with a few members the club has grown constantly and now has a membership of twenty five, most of whom have shown wonderful progress in such a short space of time.

Elbert Robinson defeated C. E. Langston, the runner up, in the singles for men. The best and hardest contests were in the doubles, all teams being so equally matched that it required several days to decide. Messrs. Robert Davis of Topeka and King Hayes succeeded in defeating the field, giving them the right to play R. Elmore and C. E. Langston, both of Topeka, for the championship Elmore and Langston proved too strong for them, defeating the runners-up by a score of 6-1 and 6-1. Beautiful gold and black panuants were given the victors. HUTCHINSON, KANS. The Imperial Art club met with Mrs W W Evans on Thursday afternoon.

A New York Journal, Chicago American and San Francisco Examiner editorial takes the the broad and very correct ground that the Afro-American's "right in America is as good as any man's" and if anything, "a little better because he was brought here against his will." Good! Continuing it says: If any one wants to make himself useful, if he wants to solve the race problem, let him do two things: First, treat the Negroes with absolute justice; see that they have all their rights without allowing them to infringe upon the rights of others. Second, make up for the injustice and brutality of the past days of slavery with kindness and opportunity now. Infinite justice and wisdom created the colored man as well as the white man. Colored men and white men were put on this earth together, each to do his work. The colored man has lived at a great disadvantage through the centuries. If infinite wisdom decided that white men and colored men could live on this little planet together, it is also certain that they can live here in the United States together. And they will live here together, and settle their questions here. The colored men will not send the whites out of the country and the whites won't send the colored men out. They will live and work side by side, each respecting the rights of the other. The white man who wants to keep separate from the colored man will do so, the colored man who wants to keep separate from the white man should be allowed to do so. They must respect each other; each must remember that the other is a citizen, with all the rights of citizenship, including the right of full protection in his property and in every court. REGISTER and by all means swat the commission plan. It is a gold brick and should be turned down good and hard. Vote against the commission form of government It is a dudge to give a certain few an opportunity to get closer to the crib. WHEN Nemo, a contributor to the Columbus Advocate and Senator Curtis get through with the Stubbs-Dolley square dealers there will only be a small shovel full for the dump. Tut: "reformers" have received such hard jolts during the past few weeks that Tom M'Neal has evidently given up the idea --- of going after Anthony's job. No one has heard of him since Senator Curtis removed the mask from his crowd, and we are ancious to know the whereabouts of our Populistic friend. THE decision rendered in the Jim Crow case in Oklahoma last week is all bosh. No state can interfere with interstate commerce. The colored people should bring a suit in the United States court and stop fooling with the state courts of Okla homa. Can't a colored lawyer be found with brain enough to work up such a case? "WOMAN'S AURORA," a neat monthly published in the interest of colored women's clubs, has found its way to our exchange table. The mast head shows Omaha as the place of publication and Lucille Skaggs Edwards, editor. It is brim full of good, wholesome, well edited matter, and we believe it is supplying a long-felt want. Here's to the Woman's Aurora and its able editor. THE Governor has a larger bite than he is going to be able to chew. Senator Curtis has put several pointed questions to him and as yet his reply has been nothing more than a tirade of abuse. The people of Kansas want the Governor to explain the cause of the tax increase. Senator Curtis has placed the matter so plainly before the people that it looks as though Lawrence will be the Governor's address two years hence. WE NOTE with special pride that the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows comprising Montana, Utah and one or two other states at their recent annual meet conferred a high honor upon Hon. Jos. B. Bass, the talented editor of the Montana Plain-dealer by electing him deputy grand master Mr. Bass is a former Topekan and stands high throughout Kansas where he built an enviable reputation as a journalist and politician. He is the father and founder of the Kansas Lincoln Day Club, a political organization that names all the colored men who have received any political recognition of note. It was while serving as president of this club that Prof. Vernon was appointed to one of the highest positions in the gift of the President. Bass is a man of sterling worth and splendid executive ability and will do much to advance this noble order. Kansas congratulates both the Odd Fellows and Mr. Bass. ATCHISON, KANS. Dr. J. W. Elliott of St. Joseph, Mo. spent Sunday in the city, the guest of Miss Virge S. C. n. Miss One Ourey will leave shortly for Topeka, where she will enter school.

SEND MONEY BY POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER. Ladies you need this. EVERY lady can have a beautiful and luxurious head of hair, if she uses this toilet necessity. After a shampoo or bath, the Magic dries the hair, removing the dandruff, and it will straighten the furliest head of hair, giving it a natural fluffy appearance. Remember that the Magic never burns or injures the hair, because the comb is never heated direct. The steel heating bar alone is put into the flame of the heater, as shown below. DO not mistake this elegant toilet necessity for some of the cheaply made limitations. It is entirely different, as you will see by the pictures. The aluminum comb is easily detached from the steel bar; then after the bar is beated (as shown below) the comb goes back in place, the handle is turned and the Magic is ready for use. The Magic Heater, is also suitable for heating the curling iron, has cover and can be carried in hand bag.
