TOPEKA PLAINDEALER SOME PROSPEROUS COLORED PEOPLE An Editorial Glance at Progressive Men Women in Other Cities. Fifteenth Year. No. 47. The Topeka SOME PROSPECTS COLOUR An Editorial Glance Women in Out of town last week in the interest of the Plaindealer we visited the following towns: Holton, Horton, Troy, Saint Joseph, Mo., Leavenworth and Kansas City. At Holton we found our old friend M. A. G. Martin, who is also one of the best real estate dealers in the state as well as one of its most able attorneys. If you have any property you wish to sell or exchange, write to Hon. M. A. G. Martin, Holton, Kansas, and he will find your man. Holton has about ten or fifteen colored families, all of whom own their own homes and are among the most progressive of the race. Mr. R. K. May has the only establishment for the weaving of carpets and rugs in the Northwest part of the state. He has a son at Manhattan in school and one studing dentistry at Howard University at Washington. Mrs. Isaac Gunn, a widow with nine children is a very progressive woman and owns considerable property. Mrs. A..H. Brooks, of Pueblo, Colo., in visiting her daughter, Mrs. S. A. Riley. Her health is improving since she says the Reverend is getting along nicely. Her health has been poorly since she went West and she will remain in the East until she recuperates. Mr. Harvey Smith, who is traveling for an insurance company is making good. He is busy on the road most of the time. There was great excitement in this city the day we were, in town over the loss of two small white pups with red tips on their ears and Mr. Martin suspended business for a whole day and inquired of everyone he met about them and offered a reward for their return. When asked their ped, gree, he said they had none, but gail that he was very much attached to the pups. If he does not find the there will be great consternation among the people of Holton about Martin's pups. - HORTON was our next stop and we spent the night with our old friend, J. B. Fleming, who owns a nice two-story brick building and conducts a nice barbershop and bath house. He has just completed a fine residence and owns several acres of land right across the street. This he is putting into alfalfa. He sold several head of hogs a few days ago, which brought a fancy price. His son, Eugene, who is an athlete in the High school takes care of the hogs and chickens and tends strictly to business and looks after other things on the place. He is well liked by his associates and they draw no color line on him. He is invited to all their social functions and he does not have t₀ stop and look at the color of his skin. Miss Laole stands at the head of her class in school and is one of the brightest young ladies we have found anywhere.. She is an accomplished pianist and will make one feel good to hear her play. Mr. Fleming does not only enjoy the pleasure of his two bright children, but the comfort and pleasure of an industrious wife and sister-in-law, Miss Brown. The Rock Island shops are located in Horton and there are several colored men employed therein. Mr. C. B. Williams has a contract for coaling the engines and is doing nicely. Mr. James Henderson owns a very fine barbershop and pool hall and enjoy a large patronage. We are always glad to go to Horton and be the guest of our friend, Co'. John B. Fleming, where we get plenty of fried chicken and good things to eat to our heart's content. Mrs. Wm. Fugette is our correspondent at this place. She owns a nice home and is a very progressive and energetic lady. We stopped a few hours at Troy and found several colored families, all of whom own very nice homes. Mr. Chas. Shumache owns a whole square and three or four houses. He TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 21, 1913. has several head of fine horses, well bred, and worth good money. Mr. J. W. Ward, who is one of the most prosperous citizens in town, has lived in this vicinity for twenty-five years and his name is good at any bank in town, and he is well thought of by all who know him. Mr. Morris Snoddy, one of Troy's old timers and politicians, is in charge of the High school, which position he has held for some time. There are two barbershops in the city, and both of them are doing an excellent business. Mrs. G. W. Lair is improving her home and making several additions. We visited the school in Troy and must say that the people are very grateful for having such a fine lady in charge of the school, who was reared and educated there. She is Miss Elsie Lair, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Lair. She has a bright crowd of young people who love and respect her and she takes a great interest in their welfare and is working hard to get them ready for High school. She attended the Teachers' association which met in Topeka recently, where she gathered different ideas to enable her to push her work along much fatter. We also met Rev. Enyard, who is pastor of the A. M. E. church, and is doing fine. This is his first year at this place and he is making many improvements and expects to build a parsonage soon. The people like him are willing to give him good support. Rev. Enyard and his wife are rooming at the present time until they can build a parsonage. He is a progressive man and we think there are great things in store in the future for him. We met Mr. James Butler, a progressive old man engaged in the poultry business. He has lived in that vicinity nearly all of his life and he ships poultry to St. Joseph and Kansas City. If this old gentleman has made a success of this, why cannot others make money $ \mathrm{i}_{n} $ their town in the same manner? Saint Joseph, Missouri. Our next stop was at St. Joseph, Mo., where we were the guest of Mr. Chas Phelps, his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Saunders. Mr. Phelps is one of the best fixed colored men in the state of Missouri. He owns a three-story brick building on Francis street, between Third and Fourth streets, and has just purchased a 40x140 ft. building where he will operate a moving picture show and vaudeville. He purchased this building for $6500.00 and it is worth between $8000.00 and $10,000.00. He refused $8000 a few days after the purchase. Mr. Phelps is a widower and has two daughters and one grandson, familiarly known as "Buster" Phelps Saunders. He is one of the brightest little chaps for his age found anywhere. He is four years of age and can operate his velocipede and automobile like a boy of eight or nine years. Mr. and Mrs. Saunders have organized an orchestra for the winter and will be in good trim soon. Mr. Phelps is always at home to his friends and we must say that when one is hungry and wants shelter, they should go to Mr. Phelps, for they will certainly enjoy his hospitality. IN KANSAS CITY we met Mrs. Katherine Jones, one of the most prosperous and energetic women of the race. She is the mother of Mr. S. T. Jones, of Leavenworth, and she owns some valuable property on James street. A few days ago she received a judgment of $720 on an insurance company for the loss of a house in Leavenworth. She has several daughters, all of whom are energetic and progressive and this is one of the Jones families that certainly making good. Mrs. Jones is a great lover of the race and believes in supotig race enterprises. JUNCTION CITY . ITEMS. The L. R. R. A.

In conversation with Mr. Northington the other day he remarked: "My wife died in 1905, and carried a policy in the Knights and Ladies of Protection of which Mr. J. G. Groves was treasurer and is today. I called on them for a settlement of the claim and when I asked Mr. Groves about it, I was abused without mercy simply because I asked for that which lawfully belonged to me." "Did you ever get anything at all?" asked the reporter, "Oh yes," he replied. "I received $1500 (FIFTEEN DOLLARS) and they took up my policy after agreeing to give me the balance due, but each time I mentioned the matter to any of them—especially Treasurer Groves, they talked fight, so I gave the matter up in disgust." The reporter enquired, "Why didn't you get a lawyer and bring suit for your money?" "I consulted my attorney," said Mr. Northington, "and he advised me that it was best to let the matter drop.

Founded First Medical School For Afro-Americans—Work of the Meharrys—Dr. Jamison Toppek, First Graduate. Nashville, Tenn.—The recent reunion of the graduates of the Meharrry Medical college, in this city, was a distinct benefit to every member of of the professio who a good fortune it was to be present at the first reunion held at the institution. It was a historic occasion of more than ordinary importance. Dr. J. T. Phillips, author of the Meharry song, "Crimson and Black," had charge of the music and led in the singing of this and other selections, which were greatly enjoyed. Dr. C. V. Roman, who delivered the address of welcome, said in part: "Gentlemen, it is a pleasant sight to look at such an audience. The first evidence of civilization in men was their willingness to eat together with, out quarreling. I do not know of the truthfulness of that, but I do know that one of the great elements of civilization is their desire to return to a landmark. Of the small band of Christian workers who started out 30 years ago one remains to be here tonight in the person of the honored dean of Meharry, Dr. George W. Hubbard." Dr. Hubbard received a warm welcome from the Meharryites. It was a warmth that cheers Dr. Hubbard's heart as he noted the strong feeling of appreciation for his efforts in behalf of the cause of freedom, good will and opportunity for our race as manifested by men of the race on this occasion. The sentiment of every one of the Meharry boys is, "Long live George W. Hubbard." The venerable dean in his introductory remark said: "To the five Meharry brothers—Hugh, Alexander, Samuel, David and Jesse, who no generously aided in establishing and supporting this institution that bears their name—the colored people of the South, and especially the alumni of Meharry, owe a debt of gratitude which can never be paid. "They have all passed from their labor to their reward, but their works do follow them. "During the winter of 1875-6, while I was attending lectures at the medical department of Nashville university and the medical department at Vanderbilt university, Rev. John C. Bladen, then president of Central Tennessee college, invited me to undertake the task of organizing a medical department for that college. "This was the first attempt made doors to all persons who were proper to establish a medical school for the education of colored physicians in the Southern states, only a few years before Howard university opened its ly prepared for the study of medicin without regard to sex or color. To Rev. Samuel Meharry of Lafayette, Ind., belongs the credit of giving the first $500 toward the support of this work. "The work was begun on the first week of October, 1876. The faculty consisted of Dr. J. Sneed and myself. One room in the northeast corner of Tennessee hall, which was destroyed by fire in December, 1903, was allotted to us for our work, and a room in the basement of the building was prepared for practical demonstrations in anatomy. The requirement for admission was a fair knowledge of the English branches. Nine students were enrolled during the first session, and J. M. Jamison, who is still practicing in Topeka, Kas, and who had previously studied medicine, was the first and only graduate of 1877. "There were eighteen students enrolled the following year, and the graduating exercises were held at Thompson chapel on Feb. 22, 1877, and the address to the graduating class was delivered by Bishop Gilbert Haven, and John S. Bass, now practicing medicine at Iola, Kansas, John C. Halfacre and Lorenzo D. Key received their diplomas, the latter two after successfully practicing their profession for several years. WEIR.

Transportation lies at the base of the nations activities and comes nearer to being the gauge of the country's prosperity than any other single factor. Whatever effect the interest of the railroad is, therefore something vitally close to the interest of the people. The Interstate Commerce Commission holds a relation to the welfare of the country that goes beyond the influence that can be exerted by the courts themselves. Yet the public does not concern itself nearly so much about the decision of the commission as it does the in the industrial decision of the bench. The railroads have been seeking for some years back to secure mitigation of the burden they are bearing because of increased costs of the materials and a constant jacking up of wages on the one hand and the strait-jacket of inability to increase freight rates or passenger fares upon the other.. The most experienced railroad men in the country are predicting an outcome of the situation in a way that would be disastrous to the public welfare unless some measure of relief may be found. This appears from the Holland letter in today's American. The labor demands are insatiate and every wage increase in any of the industries subsidiary to the road or upon the roads themselves from possible profits without means for recouping. Ever since the panic of 1007 the railroads have been under the burden of ever-increasing wage demands and added costs, and yet they have been debarred from making advance in rates. The country has experienced great prosperity, but the railroad have been kept out from the promised land. The time is at hand when the roads will ask to have rates advanced to offset the additional burdens they bear and to enable them to expand in behest to the demands of traffic and to keep up their rolling stock and to generally maintain their equipment. Yet they will do so under the popular pressure to keep them subject to the rates and exactions now imposed through the commission. The country is sympa, thetic with the demands of the roads to the extent they are interpretive of the general advance in costs that are a feature of the times. They know that to starve the traffic companies is to throttle trade. The interplay of interest between a large number of industries and the railroads carry the reflex of the conditions into the homes of innumerable workers of the land. The people are vitally affected thereby. The road have had to expand; they have had to spend more than their earnings. This is a situation too full if critical significance to be lost upon the minds of thoughtful persons. Not only do not net earnings upon the outstanding stock rise, but they are falling and multitudes of modest stockholders who depend upon their railroad holdings for their support are seriously affected thereby. As go the railroads so goes the country, the flood of ebb tide of their prosperity marks the flood of ebb tide of the country's welfare. Their protection from irksome and impossible burdens is, therefore in the interest of millions of others who are not directly related to the industries immediately involved in the prosperity of the railroads. It is not to be supposed that the Interstate Commerce Commission in its eagerness to reflect popular prejudice against an advance in the earning capacity of the roads through increase of rates would push any of them into bankruptcy, and yet there is reason to apprehend that the matter of an increase in rate must be looked at with absolute frankness on the consequence will prove most serious to the country. Baiting railroads is a barbarous sport of the past, and when the roa present their demands the Interstate Commerce Commission is bound to regard them in the broadest manner as reflecting the interests of the country and, therefore, not to be passed upon in a narrow spirit. THE K. P.N. U. GAME. We witnessed the football game at Lawrence List Saturday between the Lincoln, Neh, and Kansas University teams. This was the much-asked about game in which Mr. Clinton Ross, a colored student in the law department at Lincoln, played a great part." The K. U. people contended that they would not play Nebraska if the colored man, Ross, was allowed to play on the team, as they had entered into a "gentleman's agreement" against colored students being represented in athletics and that Lincoln should consider it a bona fide proposition (and they certainly kept their word, for they seemed not to know the A, B, C's of the game and didn't play a penny's worth.) Nebraska came back at them by saying that they had never entered into such an agreement and never would, and they were backed up by the faculty of that great institution and stated that they would never be guilty of such a disgraceful act as barring colored students from their athletic games. Clinton Ross was the drawing card for the game at Lawrence and was the center of attraction. Nothwithstanding the day was gloomy and rainy, over 7000 people came from all parts of the two states to witness the game and we think it nothing more than fair if Mr. Ross should receive one-third of the gate receipts. We have great respect for the Lincoln football team, their manager, college and faculty. Their headquarters at Lawrence were at the Eldridge, and Mr. Ross and two other students were guests and entered the dining room for their meals the same as the others. We also admire the proprietor of the Eldridge House for having the backbone and courage to stand up and give a man, like Mr. Ross, fair treatment without great confusion and excitement. We are very sorry, but not surprised at the Athletic club of Kansas City, Mo, which invited Ross' team to breakfast and after they were in the building they sneaked around and whispered to Mr. Ross that he could not eat with his team. Now this was one of the most discourteous and ungentlemanly and disgraceful tricks that a Christianized, civilized body could have done to a young man that is working his way through school and is just as polite and courteous as any on the team and far more superior to the Kansas City members who tried to belittle him by asking him to withdraw. We are glad to know Mr. Ross did as requested in his quiet and unarumming manner, which showed his good breeding and his superiority over those who were disgracing none but themselves by their silly act. Mr. Ross is a great player at the one time in the game he was seen to throw two men at once. The excitement was great and well worth the time and money of anyone to go 100 miles to witness a contest of strength and endurance like this one between men. Only a few times did we hear the remark, "kill the nigger," and that came from a corner where was a group of the "toughest red pecks" who were trying to be seen and heard but these insignificant remarks were soon drowned out by the yells of the college teams. ATCHISON, KANSAS. Miss Allie Barnett, formerly of this place, who now has a position at Nevada, Mo., as a trained nurse, and Mrs. Ella Montgomery, who was, before her marriage Miss Barnett, and who was one of the finest scam stresses in the city, were called to the bed-side of their father, Mr. Luke Barnett, who is very sick at this time. Mr. Beck of Topeka was the guest of his sister, Mrs. W. W. Caldwell. Miss Bertha smith of Topeka, is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Hunt. Mrs. Fannie Whitley, who died on Monday of last week at her home, 823 M St., of tuberculosis, was a very industrious young woman. She was a good Christian mother and attended divine services every Sunday until she was unable longer to attend. She took her children to the Sunday school and saw that they were given the proper training. She was also a member of Amity Court No. 1, Estella Chapter No. 4 and Crescent Tabnacle No. 5. Mrs. Whitley is survived by a kind husband, three children, two brothers, and other relatives and a host of friends. Please be ready wheen Mrs. Long calls to collect. It is now the time of year when every one ought to pay up all debts in order that they may test contented in the knowledge that they owe no one and can start the new year with a clear conscience. Mrs. D. Generals reports a girl born to Mr. and Mrs. J, C. Rogers of N. Smith street; and a girl born to Mr. and Mrs. Prince Shook, L. stet SALINA, KANSAS. St. John Baptist church is carrying on a revival meeting for ten days and Rev. J. D. Morris of Junction City is in charge. He is doing a spread work for the uplifting of the burden of Christ. There have been so far ten people's that the fold and are rejoicing in the highest. At 1 o'clock Sunday Rev. W. P. Banks the pastor, will baptize. Delegations from Junction City and Abilene are expected to be here on that day. The Y. M. C. A. l progressing nicely. They have organized a Bible class and the Scout boys and both are doing splendidly. The membership list was materially increased last Sunday by the addition of several new names. They have decided to have a printed constitution. Election of officers will be held Sunday. Mr. Wiggley has organized a Boy Scout in two patrols, one of the small boys and one of the larger ones. Mrs. Jennie Jones and Mr. Olie West, both of this city, were united in the bonds of holy wedlock last week and have moved to Kansas City, Mo., to make their home. We wish them great success. Mr. W. W. Shobe is doing nicely in his cab line business, and also Mr. Jones; and Mrs. Gordon is doing very nicely in the restaurant business. Salina mourns the loss of Mr. Jos. Allen, who died Oct. 31, at Cheyenne, Wyo. He left home on the 10th of February last, and went out West, where he departed this life. His body was brought here last Tuesday for interment. He leaves a wife and a host of friends to mourn his demise. The boys department of the Y. M. C. A. have organized a football team and would like to have the support of the people off Salina to help carry it on. They challenge any colored football team in the state. Manager, Mr. Varnon Brown. Line-up as follows: A. Henderson, L. E.; Guy Knight, L. T.; L. Thompson, L. G.; W. Williams, C.; W. Young, R. G; R. Prim, R. T.; A. Ingram, R. E. V. Brown, Qb.; L. Green, L. H.; G. Hudson, R. H.; T. Banks, Fb. Mia Josephine Hayes and Mr. Albert Young were united in the bonds of holy wedlock about two weeks ago. They will make their home at Eldorado. We wish them great success. Mr. Plev Cox of this city left on Friday of last week for Kansas City to visit with friends. The Dunbar Art club met Thursday of last week at the residence of Mrs. Banks and after the regular business a delightful two-course luncheon was served. The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Bettie Lockridge at the next meeting. Rev. R. Cox preached at Eilsworth last Sunday. We are glad to note that the colored people are taking more interest in the church work than they have formerly done. Since Dr. Morrow has been helping Rev. Banks they are deeply interested in their work. J. W. GOLDEN EXONERATES. Sadilia, Mo. Oct. 31. The following is an article appearing in the Sadalia Capital of Sunday last; "J. W. Golden was apprehended by police Saturday at the request of Kansas City authorities. Golden is selling mining stock to Sadalia colored people. The suggestion followed that he was engaged in fraudulent transactions. It developed Saturday afternoon that he was a responsible agent and thata the transactions were strait and legal He was released from custody after this was proven." This from the Democrat-Sentinel "J. W. Golden charged with obtaining money by false pretense in the selling of stock of the Molly Grove Mining Co., was this morning a reign. ed before Magistrate Connor, exofficio justice of the peace. Golden who claimed to be a Negro has the appearance of a white man. He pleaded not guilty and his case was continued. He gave bond in the sum of $300." Mr. Golden set forth claims of his company at the different churches of the city on Sunday last. Their offices are in the New York Life Building of Kansas City, Mo. The officers are J. W. Jones, undertaker Kansas City, Kan., president; Dr. J. H. Jones, Kansas City, Mo., secretary; J. G. Groves, Potato King, Kans., treasurer. The above article reverse very decidedly the position of Mr. Golden and the attitude that the people of Sadalia might have taken following his apprehension. The Governor of Colorado says it doesn't look good to him. LAWRENCE, KANSAS. Honorary to Mrs. Victoria Miller, who is visiting her brother, Mr. Gus Miller, there occurred a very pretty party yesterday. The rooms were beautifully decorated, pink and green being the predominating colors. The affair lasted throughout the afternoon and evening. During the evening the guests were entertained by a number of musical selections, among which were a vocal solo by Mrs. Morton, who surprised her listener with the sweetness of her voice and a tenor solo by Mr. I Robbins, a student of the School of Dine Arts. The guests departed at a late hour, all declaring that a more delightful evening could not have been spent elsewhere. Mrs. Miller expects to depart for her home in King'sboro, Ocala, shortly and her many friends hope that again she will find occasion to return to Lawrence. Cleanest and Best Stock in Kansas. N. E.

The Oriental Art club met Thursday afternoon of last week at the pleasant home of Miss. H. I. Monroe, 1156 Clay street and the attendance was large. Miss Allie Taylor of Chicago, was a pleasant visitor. The club adjourned to meet yesterday at the home of Miss. R. S. Sme, 1810 West Tenth street. Mr. M. W. Overton, one of the most successful business men in Topeka, who conducts a mercantile business at 925 W. Gordon street, is doing a fine business. His wife is a good successful business woman. They watch their business closely and are making friends and building up a big trade. Some inducement has been offered Mr. Overton to open a store in Hutchinson, which proposition he has under consideration. There are a very few couples like Mr. and Mrs. Overton, who work hand in hand and are making a success in the business life as well as in the social side. Mr. Overton was recently married to Miss Willa Merriweather. She is a highly educated young lady and a splendid teacher and educator. On Wednesday evening, Nov. 19th, in the presence of a few friends and the immediate family, Mr. Lindsay R. Taylor, one of the prominent and respected citizens of Kansas City, was united in the bonds of holy wedlock to Mrs. Mattie E. Childers, well known in Topeka for many years and a highly cultured lady of many attainments. The ceremony was performed in Kansas City, and the Rev. J. R. Ransom of the A. M. E. church officiated. The ceremony was performed at the home of Mrs. T. J. Merritt, formerly of this city, who gave the bride away.

Mr. and Mrs. Campbell had a host of friends in Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas and were highly respected by all who knew them in Topeka. We have not heard the particulars, but received a card from Mr. Campbell telling of her death. Mrs. Campbell was born in Topeka about 20 years ago and was the daughter of Mr. Peter Middleton. She was one of the most fashionable modistes in the country. She designed and made some of the most fashionable gowns worn in Topeka in 1913. She went to New York a short time ago to go in business with her sister, who has a large establishment there, but she became ill shortly after her arrival, and was in poor health up to the time of her death. She was highly cultured and an intelligent woman, and a devoted Christian, being a member of the Episcopal church. She leaves a husband and three sisters and a host of friends, and other relatives to mourn her death. The Palaeander extends sympathy to the bereaved relatives and regrets the loss of such an invaluable woman. Peace to her ashes.

Feuguson, and the community sympathizes with her in this her hour of bereavement Letitia says: "Motion pictures are not only the marvel of the present age, but the most instructive of anything before the public, and old and young are educated and entertained side by side. Washington school will own the Apex for a whole day, Nov. 28, and the best program in motion pictures ever staged in Touche will be shown.

Manager Lowe Removed for Alleged Drunkenness and Editor Wright is Removed for Telling on Him. The Quaker City News Bureau of Philadelphia under date of Nov. 5th sent out the following special: There was a great shake-up in the affairs of the African Methodist church in this city last week, such as has never before happened. The Publication Board of which Bishop Evans Tyree is president, met on Tuesday, Oct. 28th and declared vacant the offices of Editor of the Christian Recorder and Manager of the Book concern, held respectively by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., and, Rev. J. I. Lowe, D. D. This is the dramatic climax of the Wright-Lowe controversy which began from the day Dr. Lowe assumed the office of manager and continued until both parties were dis. missed. The immediate cause of the board meeting was an editorial in the Christian Recorder of Oct. 9th, in which Editor Wright charged Manager Lowe with drunkenness stating "I can only account for Lowe's action on the theory that he was in one of his drunken debauches such as has disgraced the Book Concern since he has been manager. For it is common talk that he has been picked up off the street and lodged in the police station for drunkenness." At the beginning of the meeting Manager Lowe charged Editor R. R. Wright with defaming his character and gave notice that he would call him to trial before the stewards of Mount Pisgah's A. M. E. church according to the discipline Dr. Wright said he was ready to prove his charge, and produced an affadavit from the records of the Third Police Station, Delancy near Third street as follows: "March 6, 1913, Jacob Lowe, 1221 Pine street, age 49, married, black, arrested for drunkenness, by Officer Robertson, at Front and Delancy streets; condition when arrested drunk; time of entry 11:00 a. m." Dr. Lowe Insisted that he was not drunk, but had an attack of vertigo and fell unconscious on the street. He said he did not remember anything until he came to in the police station. He said he was not drunk and had not drank any whiskey that morning. He further avered that he had had a similar attack of vertigo in Vicksburg, Miss., in 1880, 33 years ago. He begged the consideration of the Board, asking that they take his word that it was vertigo rather than that of Editor Wright's affadavit from the police records that it was drunkenness. "Why then if you had vertigo did they take you to the police station and keep you confined eight hours, and not send for a doctor, and enter you up as drunk? Is that not strange procedure?" Dr. Wright asked. Then Dr. W. A. Sinclair, who is a member of the Board, and who also apparently acted as Dr. Lowe's attorney said, "I can answer that." Meantime Dr. Lowe, replied, "I do not know what they did with me as I was for a long time unconscious." Sinclair continued: "They did take him to the hospital, for I telephoned to the Pennsylvania hospital asking if J. I. Lowe was there, and I was told he was. I then asked what is the trouble with him and I was told that he had an attack of vertigo, and that he was resting easy." Thereupon Wright jumped to his feet and asked Sinclair: "Are you sure they told you vertigo?" Sinclair said "yes, they told me vertigo." "That is strange, Bishop," said Wright directing his remarks to the chairman, and pulling from his papers a letter from the Pennsylvania hospital which read that Jacob I. Lowe was brought to the Pennsylvania hospital at 10:30 a.m., March 6, 1913. Hl₃ complaint was alcholism. Said Wright, "This is the signed statement of the Pennsylvania superintendent that Doctor Lowe was taken there March 6, alcholism, i. e., he was drunk, that he was there at 10:30 a.m. Couple this with his arrival at the police station nearly a mile away, at 11 o'clock and you will see how long he "rested" easy at the hospital. Dr. Sinclair never telephoned to any hospital and the attack of vertigo is a myth. The truth l₅ that Sinclair was the man who, the police officer told me called at the station house for Lowe and he was so drunk the police would not even let him see Lowe." This Sinclair did not deny, and Lowe practically admitted saying that Wright was persecuting him. He then addressed an appeal to the Board for sympathy telling of his long years of service. The Board then went into executive session. At 3 o'clock, the Board was the guests of Dr. Lowe at dinner at 1221 Pine street where Dr. Lowe and Sinclair reside, and some suspect that some clever political work was done here. Surprising Verdict. At 4 o'clock the Board reconvened and at 6:30 after two hours deliberation, called Drs. Lowe and Wright before it. Bishop Tyree stated that they had decided to declare both offices vacant. The two men made statements. It is said that Dr. Wright stated rather boldly his dissatisfaction with the verdict as he did not know he was being investigated and as no charge was brought against him. The verdict, especially that relating to Editor Wright created a genuine sensation as his dismissal was not expected. Many of the local ministers were strong in their denunciation of what they call the unfair treatment accorded Editor R. R. Wright. The reason for dismissing Manager, Lowe is alleged drunkenness. The reason for dismissing Editor Wright was publishing that the Manager was drunk. Our reporter was not able to interview the Manager, but did see Editor 'Wright. Asked what he thought of the verdict, he stated that he thought it was unfair. Said he, "It is unfortunately true that Dr. Lowe and I have not been able to get along; but he was always the aggressor. I feel grieved for two things only. First that I was given no opportunity to make a defense. It seems that after Dr. Lowe was found guilty of my charge, he being an old man and I a young one, sympathy turned to him. They could not exorcate him, but they would punish me for exposing him. Thus I was ecclesiastically lynched. The second thing I feel grievd over is that I should be put out of an office in the Christian church to which I was overwhelmingly elected by a vote of 378 to 135, for the reason that I took a stand against drunkenness in the church. I committed no crime except I exposed a disgraceful drunkard, and my exposure was so complete he could not be whitewashed. I feel very sorry for the Bishop who could be a party to such a miserable miscarriage of justice and such a breach of Christian ethics. But I feel pleased also at two things. First that the fight against drunkenness in high places won, and thus will give courage to thousands of high minded ministers everywhere in their fight for better morals, and secondly that I feel the decision of the Board in my case is not the sentiment of the church. I shall appeal not to the civil courts, but to the regular session of the Bishops' Council for protection in my rights. The charge that I exposed the church is all bosh. When did J. I. Lowe become the church? My attack was on one man. I called his name. I named his sin. I did this for the good of the church and not to harm it." Dr. J. I. Lowe came here from Arkansas in June 1912, being elected by the General Conference in Kansas City, Mo., May, 1912, as business manager of the Book Concern of the A. M. E. church succeeding Dr. R. R. Wright, who declined election as manager and was elected at the same time editor of the Christian Recorder, the official organ of the A. M. E. church and the oldest Negro periodical in existence. The two men are temporally different, and have not agreed. Dr. Wright was educated at the University of Chicago, the University of Berlin, Germany, and late-ly received the Ph. D., degree from the University of Pennsylvania. The woods are full of applicants for the positions which are considered two of the best in the church. Revs. H. Y. Arnett, J. L. H. Watkins, M. W. Thornton, of this city are mentioned as possible business managers. OMAHA. NEBRASKA. Mrs. Martha Turner left Monday for Lincoln to attend the funeral of a very dear friend. Rev. J. M.

"May the years to come have in store many good things today at your door. "May the hand of God His love be stow, and upon your hearts his mercies flow." By MRS. MARY A. JARRETT. Mrs. Lulu Bedell of East Division street, gave a one o'clock dinner on Thursday, Nov. 6th, in honor of Mrs. Loe Scott and daughter, Mayme, of Kansas City, Mo., Miss Trella Bedell, formerly of Springfield, and Miss Kathryn Bedell, who has been visiting in Kansas City. Covers were laid for Mrs. Scott, Miss Trella Bedell, Mjss Mayme Scott, Miss Kathryn Bedell, Miss Larkie Burnett, Miss Laura Burnett and Master E. Henry Bedell. After the postponement of two meetings of the Woman's Musicale and Literary club, in which the mem- pects to their beres were paying tribute of love and respect to their president, Mrs. Mary A. Jarrett, due to the loss of her only son, Mr. Frank A. Jarrett, the members convened on Friday afternoon. Nov. 7th, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. V. J. Foster. Mrs. Foster and daughter, Miss Carrie, being hostesses for the occasion. Little Miss Dellen Jarrett received the guests at the door. The meeting was opened by the vice president, Mrs. B. B. Cooper, in the chair. Song and prayer service led by Mesdames Lucy Wilhams and Priscilla Bruce. Minutes were taken by the secretary, Mrs. Delia S. Smith. The study of Shakespeare was very enthusiastically enjoyed for an hour. Mrs. Emma C. Johnson acceded for the best quotation rendered of the many good ones given, and Mrs. Lyle, a visitor, receiving honor for the second best. Mrs. Bertha Fulbright became a member of the club. The perseverance division rendered a good program, of which Mrs. Nancy J. Layton was delivered "Cardinal Wolley's address to Cromwell," by Shakespeare, a vocal solo by Mrs. Bertha Fulbright and a musical number by Miss Carrie Foster deserve special mention. Much business was transacted. The club voted that the treasurer, Mrs. Sadie Chamberlain, should bank the money out on good interest. The club voted that a reception shall be arranged for the husbands and the friends of the members during the holidays. Mrs. John Kelly of Kansas City, Mrs. Lyle of Oklahoma, little Helen Jarrett of Kansas City, and Miss Blanche E. Johnson, who is to be a November Thanksgiving bride, were visitors. Good talks, which were well received, were made by Miss Johnson and Mrs. Lyle. A par excellent three-course menu, consisting of salmon loaf garnished with peas stuffed olives, hot biscuits, cranberry salad, sasartoga wafers served in lettuce leaves, pine apple sundae and layer cake, which had been superbly prepared entirely by Miss Carrie, was enjoyed with a relish. Mrs. Foster was assisted in serving by Miss Lottie Moss, little Miss Helen Jarrett and Miss Carrie Foster. The work of Shakespeare will be continued. The next place of meeting will be with Rev. Mrs. J. M. Harris just recent. ly returned from The National Conference of The Woman's Home Mis- sionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which converged at Washington, D. C. This most noted convention meets once a year in October. Mrs. Harris attended as a delegate of The Central Missouri Conference. She reports a most profitable meeting, much good being accomplished, great sums are lifted for the uplifting of our race, and aside from the work done, it was a trip filled with pleasure, that of meeting and shaking the hand of many of her old former college students and girlhood friends from her southern home. Invitations are out announcing the marriage of Miss Blanche Elizabeth Johnson to Mr. H. M. Fletcher, on Thursday, Nov. 27, at 8:30 p. m. at Pitt's M. E. Church, Pine Street and Benton Ave.. Mrs Adele Johnson has returned after spending the entire summer away visiting. She was forced to return on account of the approaching date of the Fletcher-Johnson nuptials. Miss Johnson is looking fine, quite robust. Many are looking forward to the Fletcher-Johnson wedding, which is promised to be of noted prominence. The bride is one of the pretty belles of the city, highly cultured and refined, having made good along all lines. Any man should compliment himself as having secured her as a wife, a pigeon worth while. Mr. Fletcher, formerly of this city, is a mail clerk, hand-osme in appearance, a man of great intelligence and rare ability, kindly in disposition, a man that any girl should be proud to look up to and acknowledge as her lord and master. The Fletcher-Johnson wedding promises to be an elaborate one, and as one would say of the royal blood. We are hoping them success, happiness and success even before hand. We are happy in chanting praises of ones who are so deserving. One of the sisters of the bride-to-be, who has spent the last 3 or 4 years in the sunny South, is hoping against hope that the southern zephyr breeze may waft a dear friend to the city about the 27th inst, but owing to the serious illness of his mother, it is very doubtful if he will be able to come, and attend the wedding. He was to occupy a very important position in the F.-J. wedding. So, two may have to sustain a very great disappointment. Thursday evening, Nov. 13, a large audience enjoyed a most excellent program, which was conducted by Mrs. Fred Williams. This entertainment had been carefully arranged and participants particularly selected. Each number was a rare treat within itself and well worth the admission price at the door. The three-act drama entitled. "— was splendidly staged by Miss Marie W. Andrews as musician, and Miss Pansy B. Yoakum as instructor, and the High school students of No. 6, Miss Edithy M. Young, a teacher, Mr. Ray Dike, a student, and Mr. Morris Wilbutn were the leading characters, strongly assisted by Messrs.

A man who could invest a quarter and get back a dollar and a half would think he had struck a good thing. That is about what a farmer can do in the handling of manure. Twenty-five cents' worth of acid phosphates added to the stable manure will return 150 cents' worth of crops. The Ohio experiment station has proved it, many farmers have found it to be so, and yet most of us fail to invest the quarter or make the worse mistake of failing to care for the manure at all.—National Stockman and Farmer. FOUR SPUD CROPS A YEAR. Spaniard's Methods May Be Good For Others to Imitate. From Spain comes the report of a spanard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potatoes were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilized with horse manure. First crop. Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug. 22 and dug Nov. 6, 1011, fair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 9, 1011, and dug Feb. 10, 1012, fair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb. 21 and dug May 19, 1012, large size and much better than those of preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 22 and dug Aug. 19, 1012, poor yield and potatoes small. The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed, lack of water for irrigation and to several very hot winds that prevailed in July, but, as in other years, the crop of this same period has been a good one. the low yield of 1912 does not detract from the feasibility of the plan.—Rural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug if You Want to Save Your Flowers. To destroy the green fly, colonies of which congregate on the young growth of the rosebushes and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect pests, we spray the bushes' with tobacco dust after wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hellebore dusted on the bushes a very good remedy. A aifter can be made by punching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the con in the same manner as a salt or pepper shaker. The rose slug, a light green, worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying whale oil soap, one half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shall beetle that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosebushes can be kept quite free of insects, however, by liberally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust. -Rural Life Keep the Calves "Coming." The calves must be kept "coming," whether they suck the cows or are hand fed. Skimmilk calves grow strong and thrifty if given a chance. Their milk has to be clean and enough of it. With it they need something to take the place of the cream that is gone. Corn is a good substitute. Oats help also. Ground flaxseed in the milk is fine, but it costs too much these days. For cheapness and results corn and oats crushed together or just plain corn coarsely ground and fed dry are hard to beat—Iowa Homestead. Hand or Power Spraying? Hand or Power spraying. Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the apparatus used. The pump should have capacity to maintain high pressure, and the nozzle must throw a fine spray. The requirements are the same for every kind of spraying. Farm Progress. Handy Trench Cleaner.

A conveyance of land described as running with the meanders of a non-navigable stream gives title to the thread of the stream in the absence of a contrary intention shown by the deed.—Ioblinson Verus Wells, Ky., 135 B. W, 317: In selling personal property the general rule is that where no misrepresentations are made by the seller in respect to the quality or condition of the property the purchaser buys at his own risk and cannot recover damages on account of defects or unsoundness, but where animals or articles are sold for food the law implies a warranty on the part of the buyer that such provisions are wholesome and it to cut, and the rule of buyers' risk does not apply DOES SHELTER PAY? Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kannan Farmer says that paper pieces undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: "The average 110 acre farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has nearer $1,500 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a.20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment. "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1,000 to $1,500 worth of machinery The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Floor For the Shield Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, may Farm and Fireside, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board, the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross-pieces, top and bottom. 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. 图示为液压缸的示意图。 Fasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one-half inch mesh color window wire, nailed PLOUD BARREL The door is made of COOP. one-half inch mesh cellular window wire, nailed or stapled to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely vermin proof. Cover barrel with old tin robbing or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crows or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrels and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting. Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to consume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm. --- What the Lawyers Tell Us. As a general rule, the owner of a vicious animal who has notice of its vicious character is liable for any injury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent, in violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, fails to disent will be held to have ratified and adopted the agent's act—B. D. Keyes & Co. Versus Union, Pacific Tea Company (VL), 71 Atlantic 201. If you sell food to a middlesman, who sells it to the consumer and the food摊 owner to be diseased to such an extent as to cause disease in the consumer, then you are liable to the consumer for the damage to his health. This is the decision of Judge Noyes in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed by both the landowner and the router when a rental agreement is consummated. This may avoid a misunderstanding and prevent trouble. An oral contract should be an blinding as a written agreement, but the total contract may be forbidden or its stipulations not fully understood. KANSAS AVE. DEPT. Y. M. C. A.
