THE A PLAINDEALER VOLUME XII. The Passing of David F. Tipton! An inustrious and useful citizen of Emporia has passed to the Great Beyond. The many friend of Mr. David F. Tipten are sorry to learn of his death. He was very influential among his people and his advice was sought after when anything of great importance to the race was in question. The following from the Emporia Gazette, January 14th and 15th, attests the high concern in which he was held: D. F. Tipton died at 5.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon in St Mary's hospital, where he had been for several weeks. Two weeks ago yesterday he underwent an operation for stomach trouble and his death came as a result of the combine effects of the operation and the disease. He had been unable to work since August. David Franklin Tipton was born January 8, 1850, on a farm in Carter county, East Tennessee, and one-half miles from Elizabeth, the county seat. He was the child of free parents, and lived in Tennessee until 1874, when, after death of his father, he came to Kansas in company with his mother, Mrs Susan Tipton, two sisters Marv and Elizaeth, and three brothers, George, Manual and Henry. The family settled in E. poria, and David went M. DAVID I. TIPTON to work as a meat cutter in the Schmidling shop, which stood on the present site of the Newman dry goods store. He was married to Miss Dollie Rowlands, in Wichita. March 4, 1875, and they lived for lee next four years in Wichita. In 1879 the family came to Emporia, and Mr. Tipton went into the house-moving business, which he followed the rest of his life. He was most successful in this business, and soon became known as one of the best house movers in the state. He was in demand all over the state, and was frequently forced to enlarge his equipment. At the time of his death he was proprietor of three complete outfits, employing a large force of men. He started his two sons in business retaining the younger son, Clarence, as a partner in Emporia, and establishing the elder, Perle, in control of a big business in Parsons. Aside from his general efficiency as a mover of houses, he was original in his methods and was the inventor of several popular devices in moving equipments. Among these, was the first four wheeled steel truck ever used in this region, and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 21, 1910. a so a "staker," another labor, saving improvement. Mr. Tipton was not only a successful bussiness man, but was one of Emporia's best and most reliable citizens, white or colored, and held the respect and esteem of the entire community. He was thrifty and upright, and was an was an example to all members of his race. He was a faithful member of St James Baptist church, unvying belonged to it for over thirty years and was one of the strongest men of the congregation. He was a force for the right in politics among the colored Republican voters, and the loss of his influence will be felt. Besides his home 719 Congress, which he kept in good condition, he owned, condition, he owned considerable machinery, and several pieces of town property. Mr. Tipton leaves his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Bertha Phoenix, two sons, Clarence, of Emnorla, and Perle, of Parsons; one brother, George, of Muskogee. Okla and ore sister, Hre, Mary Stafford of Kansas City. All were with him at the time of his death. The funeral of David Tipton was held at two o'clock this afternoon at the St. James Baptist church and was largely attended. Rev Samuel H. Gibson was in charge of the service, and the church choir furnished music. The pall-bearers were Leslie Harrison, John Bain, Fred Ervin, Williams, Lon Taylor, William West. The honorary bearers were John Snow, Andrew Armstead, Anderson Woodson, David Staford, Samuel Ervin and Frank Rogers. The flower gifts were beautiful and numerous, many of them being sent by out-of-town friends. Among those who attended the funeral from out of town were Mrs. Nick Chiles of Popka; Mrs. Mary Stafford of Kau, sas City, Kau, a sister of Mr. Tipton, and George Tipton of Muskogee a brother, and his daughter, Mrs. Folsom, of Muskogee; John Snow of Florence, who had worked for Mr. Tipton many years. Interment was made in Maplewood cemetery. Among the numerous telegrams of condolence received by the relatives was one from W. T. Vernon, registrar of the treasury, of Washington, D. C., as follows: "Am deeply grieved to learn of the death of Mr. Tipton He was good and true man My sympathy to you all." Oddly coincident with Mr Tipton's death are the facts that his mother dled on the same date in 1902, and that a year ago yesterday he was the man who found the body of I. E. Lambert in the ruins of the Copeland hotel fire in Topeka. A.C. PABLE PHYSICIAN. Dr. J. H. Williams, physician and surgeon, was born in Columbia, Boone county, Mo. He is a man of strong character, a wonderful personal magnetism and a brilliant versatile mind. He received his early training in the public schools of Columbia. Being reared by Christian parents, he was led to finish his academic course in the Baptist institution, Western College, Macon, Mo. Having completed his academic course he taught in the public schools of the state for ten consecutive years. But this was only a means to an end. Although he was unanimously elected the next year, he felt that he must resign and begin the preparation of his life's work at Meharry Medical college. Kind, yet firm in manner, he gained the love and respect of the student body as well as the faculty. In his junior year the honor of president of the class was conferred upon him by a class of sixty five young men. While in college Dr. Williams was a close student and availed him self of the opportunities offered by by the great Mercy hospital, so that he began his work as a physician in the city of Joplin with a practical knowledge that far surpasses most young practition rs. Practically his first case in Joplin was a complicated surgical operation wherein he assisted the able Dr Harris of Sedalia. The case proved a success and the patient was left in THE BROOKLYN BROTHERS DR. J. H. WIDLIAMS. Dr. Williams' care. He proved to be competent and in a few weeks the patient was restored to good health again. This case was followed by many others and in every instance he has shown his ability to be supreme. His co workers of the Caucasian race highly respect him and welcome him, for, as they say, he has the right seal upon his brow—a certificate from the state board of medical examiners, one of the most difficult sets of examiners in the U S The superintendent of public schools placed him on the list of eleven other physicians to examine the health of the school children; the Court of Calanthe has appointed him as their medical examiner and Joplin finds work for him every day. Early in life the doctor felt the need of a companion in this great work, so he married a sweet, amiable young woman and God has since blessed them with two children It many sacrifices, carnest toil self confidence and loss of sleep at long hours of work are any of the requisites of a self-made man, we can present Dr. Williams as an ex amp'e for struggling youths. Through the voice of THE PLAN DEALER we hope to tell the word of this earnest, competent worker, and the people of Southwest Missouri, especially are desired to continue to all now are destined to continue to all him, not because he is a Negro, but because he is an able competent physician. Already Dr. Williams has a very lucrative practice. Those who want the physician who knows, yet is kind and patient are calling at Dr. Williams' office, 1073. Main street, or Bell 'phone 949. Residence. 651. Mrs. Joab Mulyane Dead. We regret to announce the death of Mrs. Joab Mulvane, mother of the Hon. David Mulvane, national committeeman. She was an upright Christian lady who has done much for the poor and will be greatly missed. She leaves a husband, two daughters and a son to mourn her demise. We regret to lose such good people as was Mrs. Mulvane and her loss will be keenly felt by the public. Mrs. Nicholson Seeks a Divorce! The friends and acquaintance of Mr and Mrs. J. B. Nicholson will regret to learn of their estrangement. She applied for a divorce in South Dakota one day this week where she went for her health. They have a sweet little daughter who is idolized by all who come in contact with her. Mr. Nicholson has the sympathy of the public as he was a loving husband and devoted father. Everyone who knew them and saw them out with their sweet little daughter never dreamed of a seperation until death. A more upright, honest, Christian gentleman ever lived than Mr. Nicholson and we hope his wife will see the error of her way and return to her companion. Mrs. Nicholson was Miss Lucille Mulvane, the adopted daughter of Mr John R. Mulvane, president of the Bank of Topeka and also one of the wealthiest men in the state. COUNTY POLITICS. The Hon. J. Betts has announced himself a candidate for sheriff of Shawnee county subject to the Republican primaries. He is one of Topeka's most substantial business men and one of the largest contractors in the West, employing hundreds of laborers every year and pays out thousands of dollars to them. His contract work in Topeka and elsewhere J. B. 11111 has given entire satisfaction. He has done over a million dollars worth of contracting for the U. S. government without any contention or trouble. He served the people in the state senate for four years and was on some of the most important committees. He worked hard for the best interest of his constituents thereby passing several important bills. Mr. Betts is honest, upright and fearless and NUMBER 3 if elected will do his whole duty to make the office a success. Mr. Rome Colvin, who announces himself a candidate for sheriff, is an old citizen of Shawnee county, and is engaged in buying and selling mules, horses and cattle on the North side where he has resided for the past forty-five years. He is a splendid gentleman and if the voters choose him for sheriff he will serve them faithfully and well. CITY POLITICS. --- C. C. Booher announces himself as a candidate for City Commissioner. It has been known for sometime among his friedds that he would be a candidate, or at least they have been urging him very hard and at last he has given his consent. He was born in Holmes county, Ohio in 1856, come to Kansas in 1869, and has lived in Tepka since 1880. He has never been in the race for office of any kind and has never had a desire to become prominent in politics but his friends have watched his business grow for years and have decided that if he can make such a wonderful success in his line of business he surely would make a good man for the management of cit affairs. Mr. Booher is in business at 515 Quincy street, where he is conducting the largest moving, storage and expressing business of any company in Kansas, in any town of not over 50,000 inhabitants. He started the Topeka Messenger and Express company at 616 Jackson street, with one old broken down wagon and a blind horse. Today he is running 14 express wagons and 3 moving vans and also a large storehouse. Men who are on the road to success are the kind of men Topeka wants for the responsible position of City Commissioner—men who have had an abundance of experience in business, and are thoroughly responsible, men who have the welfare of Topeka at heart, men of effective minds. Mr Booher is well acquainted in Topeka and will make a strong race for the place. He will receive the support of the men in the U. P. yards, also the Santa Fe shop district Lincoln Day Exercises. The Kansas Lincoln Day club will hold its ninth annual exercises on Feb. 11. The committee changed the date on account of the regular date coming on Saturday and President Patterson thought the change would bring out a larger crowd. The coming event promises to be one of grave interest. It is at these gatherings that the colored brothers lay all of their political plans and frame measures that will be helpful to the race. Secretary Lytle and the old war boss, J. H. B. Taylor, chairman of the executive committee, are leaving no stone unturned to make it a big success. : AR STOS RED TRUKEY FLOUR RED TRUKEY FLOUR has long been the pride of every house-wife in the middlewest, and is used by the best hotels, cafes and bakeries.

THE JONES·ASE The Jones case in the district court is now under advisement. Judge Dana gave the attorneys for the plaintiff three weeks to furnish a little more law on the subject. The case was brought by Mrs. Jones No. 1 asking to set aside property of Mrs. Marie Thomas Jones No. 2 and to have him pay her alimony for several years to come. Mr. Jones testified on the stand that he paid $400 for the seal skin coat she wore, a diamond ring and gave up stock in his concern in Chicago, also fifteen hundred dollars in property—a home they were offered $8,000 for with a two thousand dollar mortgage. She refused to sign the deed and the property was lost. He paid her from five to ten dollars per week up until his marriage to Miss Thomas. He said further that he could not live with her on account of her jealous disposition and he would marry Miss Thomas again. We believe a divorce should be granted in this case and that Mrs. Jones be given a reasonable amount. This case should be disposed of so Mr. Jones can do business. He is useful to the community and should not be hampered by lithigation and stubbornness. Although it may not be to his liking, yet it is but fair that he concede something to her. The court should allow Mrs. Jones a fair recompense and grant him a divorce and let peace reign among the colored people of Topeka. The white people are to blame for encouraging this case. Money is the root of all evil.

Because women cannot vote, only in municipal elections, and can not get to be president of the United States that is no sign that we are not of value. If we only knew our value it would be a glorious thing. The old saying, "The hunt that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world." The negro is deprived of his rights now by the white man. It is not because we have no man competent enough but it is simply the prejudice existing against the negro. And in order to overcome this state of life, it depends upon the women; they must wake up and begin teaching in their homes every member of the family to be filled with ambition and good determination in life and encouraging the use of good education. First we must have better and stronger women who realize the use of true womanhood and then we will have better men. First step towards improvement is Christianity. Get more workers in the vineyard and then with Christ we can accomplish much. We young girls should strive hard for an education and after obtaining it, we should willingly for our late's sake, endeavor to teach it to someone else. But the best of all is to have a moral life that is spotless. Do not be so ready to marry. Before you marry, be sure of --- city lost work. Instructions.

Room and board by the lay or week Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of successe have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good"; if you want the best results buy Ford's Hair Pomade.
