There's no Use REV. WILSON LIE A Prominent Loe Sues the "O "Iron Hand" That R of Tabor for Years strained from A Shawnee Cou REV. WILSON RULES LIKE A CZAR! A Prominent Lodge Member Sues the "Old Chief." "Iron Hand" That Ruled the Knights of Tabor for Years Has Been Restrained from Acting by the Shawnee County Court. This Rev. Frank Wilson, head of the Knights of Tabor of Kansas and Nebraska was sued for libel and enjoined from interfering with U. A. Graham as Presider in the Arcumum, a higher branch of that order. Mr. Graham is one of Topeka's most progressive young men. He is employed at the Merchants' National Bank and a worker in the Knights of Tabor, well liked by all members of the jurisdiction. He his incurred the displeasure of the Chief Grand Merbor Wilson, by standing up and contending for what he believes to be right, just and fair. The claim is that the Grand Mentor interfered in the local lodge by suspending young Graham from office as presider without authority of law and consent of the lodge. The members are all perfectly satisfied with Mr. Graham and disproves the action of the Chief Mentor, when he published in The Index, a local colored journal on Jan 22d, 1914, the suspension without filing a complaint with the local order. For this act he is being sued in the district court of Shawnee county for seven thousand five hundred dollars and enjoined from interfering with Mr. Graham in performing his duties. Since the service of the papers he has been cited for contempt we are told that Emperor Nero never attempted to enforce such things as this man Frank Wilson. The members are beginning to want to know what constitutes their rights in the order, as it now looks as if Rev. Wilson is the whole show. It is also stated that they want to know who owns the order, Wilson or those who pay the money to maintain it. They say further, that if one man is allowed to override law without authority, that every member may as well, get out for the order is bordering on monarchy, and we who have paid money into it for years to keep the order alive cannot afford to have our rights taken away and be driven out simply because we insist upon everyone having the same right and be treated fair and impartial. Topeka Daily Capital: "The Rev. Frank Wilson, as chief grand mentor of the International Order Knights and Daughters of Tabor, was yesterday cited to appear before Judge A. W. Dana and show cause why he should not be adjudged in contempt of the district court. U. A. Graham, deposed from the office of presiding officer of Atcuman No. 12 of Topeka, by Mr. Wilson, filed an affidavit in the district court charging that Mr. Wilson violated the court's restraining order issued early this week to prevent him interfering with the duties of Mr. Graham as an officer of the local lodge. "Graham contends that the court's order was violated when Mr. Wilson on April 9, had Mrs. Frances Hardman installed as presiding officer of the local lodge to succeed Graham. "The restraining order was granted on Monday after Graham had filed suit for damages in the sum of $7,500 against Mr. Wilson." Back From the Southland. Mrs. M. D.

TOPEKA colored people are progressing along all lines, and that wages are fair in the larger cities, but in the smaller towns in the extreme south of Tennessee, the wages are poor, cooks getting one dollar per week, and in case a cook fails to return in time to prepare a hot supper, 25c is deducted from the dollar. In some places women wash all day for 25c.

Jimmy Poney, Sixteen Years Old, Wilfully Inflicts Mortal Wounds With Pistol on Jno. Caldwell, an old Inoffensive Colored Citizen—How is Locked up Awaiting Results of Wounds. --- According to his own statement, Jimmy Posey, a 16 year old boy of this city, fired a 32-calibre ball through the body of John Caldwell, an old Negro man, this morning for the sake of hearing him "holler." Not being satisfied with one shot, young Posey said that he attempted to fire the three more bullets into the screaming man's body, the only thing preventing him being the failure of the cartridges to explode. The bull which struck entered below the left shoulder and plowed through the old man's body, lodging under the skin on his breast, inflicting, it is claimed, a mental wound. The boy was arrested within an hour after the shooting, and when asked what his purpose was in firing on the Negro, replied: "I did it just to hear him holler." News of the crime was telephoned to the police. Chief J. H. Robinson and officer Perkins started at once in a buggy and Deputy Sheriff Dave Brown and Constable Oscar Johnson followed, and in a few minutes after teaching the scene the officers were on track of the boy and soon located him at the home of his parents on High street, near Front. When taken to the police station he talked freely about the matter and did not appear to be concerned or alarmed over the result. He stated he took a pistol from its hiding place under a bureau at his home and started up the silver yards above the William Manning residence, he stopped in the road to whittle the ball of a cartridge so he could insert it. While doing this he saw Caldwell driving down the road, coming toward town, and then, according to his statement at the police station, he made up his mind to try the pistol on the Negro "just to heat him holler." Posey returned the pistol to its pocket and when the wagon came up asked if he could ride to town. Caldwell readily consented to accommodate him and he climbed into the wagon and stood behind the driver. Caldwell was riding on a seat holding a basket of eggs in one hand. After the wagon had gone only a short distance the pistol was placed to his back and the shot fired. As quick as he could pull the trigger, according to his own statement, he snapped on three more cartridges without causing them to fire, intending the bullet for Caldwell. When asked if the man hollored when he shot him, he smiled broadly TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 17, 1914. and said, "I should say he did; he hollered 'Oh, Lordy, don't shoot say more, whoa, whoa, Nellie,' and dropped his eggs and they broke all over everything. He pulled back on the lines as he fell and that stopped the mule." Replying to another question, the boy said: "Yes, I knew it would go through the skin and kill him, too, but I wanted to shear him holler. When I heard that pistol fire I knew it was the jail for me and I jumped from the wagon and ran down under the river bank and threw the pistol into the water. I thrown it about twenty feet out into the river close at the mouth of the slouth above the water works." "Why did you throw it away?" he was asked. "Because I didn't want them to find it on me. I went to my home and changed my coat and got this cap in place of a black hat. I was trimming up some thorn trees when the officers came." He stated he had owned the pistol about three years and that Mrs. Thos. McCube had given it to him. His father went to the police station a few minutes after the boy was taken there and asked him if he shot the man, "Yes I did." was his prompt reply. A preliminary hearing was waived and the boy was locked up pending the result of Caldwell's injuries. Wound Will Prove Fatal. Caldwell was taken to Dr. Burt's Infirmary, where he received medical attention, but it is stated there is no chance for his recovery. The man is about 75 years old, and is one of the most inoffensive colored men around Clarksville. He was an ex-slave and is a miller by trade, having worked many years in that capacity for the late Col. George Stacker at Cumberland City before coming to Clarksville. For the past ten years he has been working for Mr. W. J. Manning, who holds him in high esteem as an honest colored man. The shooting took place a short distance this side of the Manning residence and was witnessed by Miss Alice Manning, who recognized the boy. At first Posey denied doing the shooting, but when taken before Caldwell, who at once identified him, he weakered and admitted his guilt WASHINGTON SCHOOL OUR PICTURES.

At the Pekkin Theater, Sunday afternoon, there was a matinee instead of the Holy Concert that was to have been given by S. T. Foreman in man of mystery. The human ghost was called off because it was too Sunday and there was so much going on. Just think this theater is run by Mr. Edward Ingram, the blind man. He is a fine young man and has a host of friends. There are so many young men who have the use of both eyes, but are not as industrious as Mr. Ingram and would rather take their money and go across the river and drink it up. The whole of Atchison is proud of this theater, owned and controlled by one of our own race, and a place where we can sit anywhere we choose and we will not be scorned and insulted by the white people. Please visit at the Pekkin Theater and help Mr. Ingram up the hill instead of trying to push him down.

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. 19, 1012, fair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb. 21 and dug May 19, 1012, large also 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 Blug 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 on 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 can 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 round dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose tung, a hard shell beetle that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the rose in best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosehushes can be kept quite free of insects, however, by liberally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust - natural life Keep the Calves 'Coming' The calves must be kept 'coming' whether they suck the cows or are hand fed. Minnulk calves grow strong and thirsty 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 clays used in the milk is the best, but it costs too much these days. For cheapness and results corn and oats are grinded together or just plain corn coarsely ground and fed dry are hard to beat - Iowa Homestead. 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.

Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery abed is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: The average 100 acre farm is regarded as saving $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and boggles. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has nearer $1,000 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." FLOUR BARREL COOP. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says 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. ```markdown ``` Unsten 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 ceiling window wire, nailed or stumped to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely vermin proof. Cover barrel with old tin roofing or spouting so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a cont 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 crops or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrets 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 dissent will be he'd to have ratified and adopted the agent's acts.-E. D. Keyes & Co. Versus Union Pacific Tea Company (VL), 71 Atlantic 201. If you sell food to a middleman, who sells it to the consumer and the food proves 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 renter when a rental agreement is consummated. This may avoid a misunderstanding and prevent trouble. An oral contract should be an binding as a written agreement, but the oral contract may be forgotten or its stipulations not fully understood. ...MAJORS...
