Smiley to Prof. C. Milton Yeager took place Sunday May 3d at 7 p.m. at the residence of Prof. and Mrs. W. F. King, Weir, Kas. The beautiful and impressive ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. A. Broxinax, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church of Pittsburg. The rooms were beautifully decorated in pink anw white wedding bells and flowers. About forty intimate friends of the contracting parties witnessed the ceremony. The bride was attired in a lovely white crepe du chine and wore a wedding veil and carried white and pink bride's roses. Just before the ceremony Miss Veil's Jackson, of the Baxter High school sang, "Mine." Miss Alice Smiley, sister of the bride played the wedding march. The bride was born in Palmyra, Mo., and has been a popular and successful teacher in the Missouri and Kansas schools. During the past three years she has taught in the Weir public schools. She is also an accomplished musician and has an affable and amiable disposition and a sunny smile for every one. The groom is to be congratulated in securing such an accomplished young lady for a wife. The groom is a graduate of Western University and also holds a life certificate from the Pittsburgh normal. He is well known and has been principal of the Baxter colored school for the past four years. The happy couple were the recipients of many presents. "The groom presented the gift with a handsome $400 piano, Prof. and Mrs. Yeager will keep house this summer for Prof. and Mr. King while they are away on the summer vacation, after which they will locate in Baxter, where both will teach in the public schools. The following out-of-town guests attended the ceremony: The bride's mother and sister, Mrs. R. A. Smiley and Miss Alice Smiley, of Palmyra, Mo. Mrs. Lulu Moore, Mrs. Edward King and Miss Dolly Johnson, of Kansas City, Prof and Mrs. A. N. Wright, Mrs. Joe Jones and daughter, Wenonah, Miss Lenora Dillon, Mr. Binkley, Mrs. Tena Dues, Mr. and Mrs. Neil Pierce, Mr. H. Crouch and Rev. J. A. Broadnax, of Pittsburgh, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Carter, Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter, Miss Viola Jack and Mr. Wayren Eates of Baxter Springs. We extend congratulations and wish them luck and happiness. Mr. Milton Reed, of Kansas City, a former resident of this place is in the city and will spend a week or several days. The public schools closed here on the fifth and the exercises at the house were a grand success from every point. More than $30 was realized. The annual sermon of the Odd Fellows and the Household of Ruth was preached Sunday by the Rev. E. P. Green, of Kansas City. Headed by Pagne's Military band, the following lodges marched to the church: Parens, Chetopa, Pittsburg and Yale. The sermon next year will be held at Chetopa. Kim Ethel King has returned to her home in Kansas City. While in the city she was a guest at the Sunday Yeager wedding. She was the guest of her mother and father-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. King, Prof. W. F. King was re-elected principal of the public schools. The terms begin in September, Miss Vina Jackson, of Baxter Springs was elected assistant. The baccalureate sermon was delivered on the 4th by Rev. Tanner of Chetopa, at Saint John Baptist church. There were twelve in the class. SCHOOL CLOSES AT CHETOPA The initial commencement of the Douglass school was brought to a home Friday night, May 1, 1914 in the Chetopa opera house. The pau- city of the class was overlooked by the speaker and the graduates. Miss Louise Horton and Mr. Edgar Russell Bassett were rendered a very increased address by Prof. Ernest J. Hawkins, A. B, general supervisor of colored schools, Fort Scott, Prof. Hawkins, "the Kansas Negro's Roosevelt," who convinces his audiences by forceful presentation of of facts and practical argument, rather than by high flown rhetoric and literary allusions, held his audience spell bound when he touched the key note of life in illustrating to the class, "you are set in the stage of life which resembles pig iron. You must undergo certain stages of development to prepare yourselves for useful citizenship." Much credit is due Prof. J. A. Holder, principal of the school and his assistant teacher, Miss Victory F. Nestfield for securing such an able speaker as Prof. Hawkins and presenting before a mixed audience the true worth of the Negro. The program was a splendid one which follows: Paino Solo—Lelia Bassett. Invocation—Rev. C. M. Madden. Solo—"I'm Looking for my Papa." Leo Willis. Declaration—"The Raven" "Edgar Bassett." "Grandmother's Story," a Declaration—"Inez Horton. Class Address—Prof. E. J. Hawkins, A. B., Fort Scott. Selection—Male Quartett. Presentation of Certificates—Supt. Lisle Williams.

She was a widow, her husband having died seven years ago. Mrs. Ewing had a daughter who died last summer and her father passed away in 1911 and also had a sister to die last year. Mrs. Ewing was born in Atchison and lived here all of her life. She was a member of the A. M. E. church from where the funeral was held. Wednesday, May 6 at 2:30 p.m. Mrs. William Gibson of Muscota Walt's sister of the deceased and the only one in the family that is living. Dr. W. H. Hudson left Tuesday afternoon for White Sulphur Springs, Montana. There were two surprise parties given in his honor before his departure. Dr. Hudson is one of the most highly respected citizens and professional men in the city and the wishes of the entire community is that his trip will bring him health and happiness. On Monday night about seventy-five men and women invaded his beautiful home on Division street, and gave him one of the most happy surprises, of his life. He received many handsome tokens of friendship and esteem. On Friday night Mayl he was the guest of honor at a big stag surprise party at the True Eleven hall on North Sixth street, and there were over one hundred men present. Dr. Hudson will remain in White Sulphur Springs about three months and if his health improves he will return to Atchison. The Doctor has run down as the result of overwork, and all hope and believe that a good rest will bring him back to his former self. The N. U. G. club met at the residence of Mrs. Rebecca Ingram, 826 Kearney street Wednesday, May 5, and a fine dinner was served by the hostess. The club completed one quilt and nearly finished another. The club will disbund for the three summer months and will give a reception for their husbands and friends at their closing meeting. Fred Potter died Wednesday, May 6th at 10 o'clock at the residence of his father, 307 Riley street. The action of Gov. Hodges and the prison officials in pardoning him two weeks ago is fully justified. As it was known that Potter was given a life sentence last November for killing Misa Emma Matthews. He was received at the tenentiary Dec. 4, last and paroled April 24, after serving less than five months. The illness demonstrated itself about eight weeks ago when he began to go down rapidly. It can be said in the way of fairness to the young man that there wasn't a better young man in Atchison than Fred Potter up to the taking of Misa Matthews' life. He was 30 years old, industrious and trust-worthy and a dutiful son and devoted brother. White people who employed him hold him in the highest esteem and he had TOPEKA,KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING MAY 15, 1914. MAKING A GREATER KANSAS CITY! Metropolitan Street Railway Spending Millions. Metropolitan Street Railway Spending Millions. Will Ask for a More Reasonable Franchise in Order to Make a Greater Railway System. Despite the dull reason, freak laws, etc., intended to impede the onward march of concerns that are a blessing, and a necessary adjunct to any city's growth and business activity, the Metropolitan Street Railway Co., has spent millions in the two Kansas Cities during the past twelve months. The Metropolitan has furnished labor for men when the company was making a sacrifice in so doing, but the operators are large hearted liberal men, who have the welfare and happiness of the people at heart, look only after their interests. The time has arrived when the great common people must cease to listen to the siren song of the agitator whose aim and only object is to array the tolling masses against concerns that are furnishing bread and butter for thousands. Concerns like the Metropolitan should be dealt with liberally in the way of franchise,etc. They Give the Best Service. For service, equipment, etc., there is no city in the Union better fixed along this line than the two, Kansas Cities. The Metropolitan takes pains in handling laboring people and their schedule, comfortable cars, etc., enables the poor man who is compelled to live a great distance from the city to get to his work as quickly as the man of wealth, who has high-priced autos and chairsteps at his command. Their cars are comfortable in winter, and a pleasure in summer. They are large and roomy and the many friends. His father, Mr. Harvey Potter and three sisters survive him. His mother died a year ago last January. The funeral services were held at the residence of his father May 8. Mr Moore of South Atchison is ill at his home. He is the father of Miss. Willie Kelley. Sunday May 10th the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and the Household of Ruth had their annual sermon at the Mount Olive church of which Rev. W. S. Blake is pastor, Rev. Blake preached the sermon. He took for his text Ruth the 4th chapter and 14th verse. Subject, "Society the Medium of Race Redemption." It was a masterful effort and Rev. Blake was highly complimented by all" who heard him. Rev. Dan Jones is numbered with the sick. Mme. Dabrey, of Kunjun City was a business visitor to the city Sunday. If you want to read the news pay for the Plaindealer. Mrs. Long our agent will call on you one day next week. Mrs. Robert Brown entertained the Mission Circle at her residence, 705 North First street, one afternoon this week. Rev. J. W. Wilson, pastor of Zion Baptist church is well pleased with the work of the Circle and the meeting proved to be one of pleasure and profit Mrs. Mary D. Mitchum died at her residence, 1421 Walnut street Tuesday, May 7th. She was the widow of the late Walter Mitchum, a veteran of the Civil war, who died at the Soldier's Home a few years ago. Deceased was an upright, honorable woman, a devoted mother and a true friend and neighbor. The funeral was held from the Ebengasar Baptist church Saturday, May 9th at 4:30 p.m. She is survived by two childrens, Mr. William Mitchum and Miss Lili- service of the employes the best that can be obtained. A transfer in Kansas City is good on any line, another convenient feature for the working people. Making Kansas City a Trade Center. Kansas City is the hub of the Western business world, made so by the thrift and activity of the men behind the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. Officials are Thorough Business Men Mr. J. M. Egan, general manager of the Metropolitan, is one of the best and most successful business men in the country. He is a blessing to the men who toil, is generous in giving out employment, and sees to it that every man is well paid. His big heart rejoices at the sight of happy children playing at the doors of the working people. The sweetest music to him in the world is the hum of the wheels of industry and the merry whistle of satisfied workmen. Mr. Egan is a great railroad man and Kannas City is indeed very fortunate in having him at the head of her fine street railway system. He is a builder and if properly supported will draw millions of dollars to the two Kansas Cities in the way of investments in business and home building. Should Be Given Franchise. (The Metronolitan Street Railway has asked for another franchise and the voters of the two Kansas Cities should do all in their power to assist them in securing it. By all means grant them this privilege for they have your interests and welfare at heart, and anything against them is against the happiness and prosperity of your own home. han Mitchum, one granddaughter, a sister, Mrs. Baxter and two nephews, sons of Mrs. Baxter. Rev. W. H. Hill, of Liberty, Mo., delivered an appioplate sermon and paid a fitting tribute to the memory of a noble Christian woman. Her remains were laid to rest in Mount Vernon cemetery. Mrs. Julia Kelley was taken ill minute to church Sunday and had to be conveyed to her home. We wish her a speedy recovery. (Left Over from Last Weekt Mr. Albert Jackson who was very sick a few days ago with Brights disease, died Sunday, April 26 at 2 a.m. at his home, 1039 North Seventh street. The deceased was an honest, Jaborer when he was well. He is survived by eight children, six boys: William, Fred, BenJ, John Leyle and Paul and two daughters: Rachel and Deille Jackson and one sister, Mrs. Martha Mitchell, who resides at 1005 North Eighth street. The funeral services were held at the Sawin and Douglass chapel on Monday, April 27th at 2 p. m. Interment in Oak Hill cemetery. Fred Potter, who was taken to the state penitentiary Dec. 4, 1913 to serve a life term was paroled Friday April 24 after serving less than five months. Governor Hodges, it is understood to have signed his parole on the recommendation of Warden Botkin' and prison physicians upon the grounds that Potter is fatalily ill of consumption. He returned home on Friday and stood the trip as well as could be expected under the circumstances. His father will take him to the Western part of the state where the climate is more favorable. Potter was convicted of first degree murder at the October 1913 term of the district court for the murder of Misa Emma Matthews, a young lady with whom he had been keeping company for a long time. He showed no sign of the dreaded disease at the time he was sentenced. It is said that he contracted the disease in the coal mine at the prison, to which place he had been assigned to pay the penalty of his crime. Rev. W. H. Hill, of Liberty, Mo., preached at the Ebenezer Baptist church Sunday. Rev. J. W. Wilson baptized two converts Sunday. Rev. W. H. Hill was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hickey Sunday. The Rev J. W. Wilson expects to start the erection of the auditorium sometime during the present month. Already the material is being placed on the grounds. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Boone, of Kansas City, Sundayed with Mr. and Mrs. Scott, mother and father of Mrs. Boone. Rev. J. N. Majors reports a fine time at Lowemont, Sunday, where he pastors one of the local churches in that city. He reports four additions to the church and a splendid Sunday school. We thank the members of Ebenezer Baptist church for throwing open their doors for the candidates who were baptized Sunday. Mrs. Else Dyson left Tuesday for Los Angles, Cali., where she will visit her niece. The Lincoln school entertainment which took place in the High school MANHATTAN, KANSAS. Rev. S. A. Stripling, the Presiding Elder of the M. E. church, held, Quarterly meeting Sunday. He preached three glorious sermons and a large congregation greeted him at each service. Mr. C. B. Dawson was called to Topeka Sunday, to attend the funeral of his brother. Mr. and Mrs. G. D. Hanks were called to Osage City Monday, on account of the death of Mr. Hanks' sister. Rev. Garret of the Second Baptist church, preached in Junction City Sunday. Rev. C. W. Wilson of Osage City, preached at the Second Baptist church Wednesday evening. The young people as well as the old are sorry that Rev. Grant's time as a supply minister at the A. M. E. church has expired. It is hoped that he will be fully stationed here at some future time. The party given at Wilson's hall by Chester Middleton of K. S. A. C. was much enjoyed by the guests present. Dancing was the principle feature of the evening, after which the guests were served delicious refreshments. The Rock Island club of the Second Baptist church met with Mrs. Lulu Donnell Monday evening. After the business meeting was over a delicious luncheon was served. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Gilbert Harrison. Mrs. Jackson of Wamego, spent Sunday with her daughter, Mrs. R. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Donelson, of Salina, have moved to Manhattan and are now at home to their friends, 815 Yuma street. The May Day Festival given at Douglass school by the primary children under the direction of Miss Mayme Carter was greeted by a large audience. The children did excellent and they looked very pretty as they skipped to and fro in their white suits to the beautiful strains of music by Miss Taylor. The primary room was decorated with pink and white and blue streamers and potted plants and the May Pole streamers were in keeping with the same color scheme. The little May Queen, Vivian Wilson was borne in by four little tots and she presided in sweet repose amid a bower of plants and flowers during the exercises. The selected numbers; a solo by Miss Wilson, of K. S. A. C., instrumental music by Miss Alberta Smith and "The Birth of Butterflies" by the high school girls were indeed good. The ladies of the Mothers Congress served refreshments in Prof. Freeman's room and with the door receipts a neat sum was realized for the Mothers' Congress. Missie Nora Wesley, Isabella Carrol, Tressle May and Ollie Anderson spent Sunday in Junction City. Miss Daisy Hull and Miss Easle Anderson spent Sunday at Mr. and Price $1 50 Per Year. Mrs. Charles Howell's beautiful country home. Rev. J. H. Taylor who has been ill for sometime, passed away on Thursday of last week. The Rev. Taylor was formerly pastor of the M. E. church and he was loved by every one who knew him. He leaves a host of relatives and friends to mourn his demise. WILL PROF. JACKSON ACCEPT THE MONEY? During the summer it is the custom to give free band concerts at the several different parks, and while the taxpayers pay the freight, Jackson's Twenty-third. Regiment Band has never been given any consideration. In point of age, Marshall's is the only band in the city that has them skinned. Prof. Jackson thinking that his band was entitled to a slice of the concert money, appeared before the city commissioners and presented his case. They "fiddled" several days trying to figure out a way to side-step the Jackson proposition and finally decided on three bands—Marshall, Knights and Ladies of Security and Jackson. Marshall will receive $1,400 for their share; the Knights and Ladies something more than $350, and Jackson was given four concerts at $20 per. The Plaindealer has been aware all along that Jackson's band needs financial aid, but didn't think they were quite so hard up, and if Prof. Jackson accepts an insult like the bunch handed by our good commissioners, we will be forced to believe that he has lost his old time pride or that he needs a jury to look into his case. We can never believe the band will accept. There is another band in the city appealing through the newspapers for public aid, and here is where the city commissioners could use that $80 to an advantage, as we cannot be led to believe, that Jackson is that hard up. Oh you commission form of government! The Odd Fellows and Household of Ruth held their annual sermon at the Auditorium Sunday afternoon. Visitors were here from Kansas City, Lawrence, Leavenworth, Atchison and Salina. Headed by Jackson's Twenty-third Regimental band, the procession left Metropolitan hall promptly at 2:30 and marched to the Auditorium where the Rev. B. R. Ross, pastor of Brown's Chapel, delivered an able and instructive sermon. There were some three hundred or more in line, and it can be truthfully said that it was one of the cleanest and prettiest parades that ever passed down Kansas avenue. Under the direction of Principal Musician David H. Board, the old Twenty-third presented one of the strongest and best bands it has been our good fortune to hear for sometime. Truly, the whole thing was inspiring and a credit to the participants and a source of pleasure to the vast throng that looked on with admiration. $10 REWARD FOR BARDEAU Beware of one Howard B. Bardean who has credentials authorizing him to solicit business for The Topeka Plaindealer. You are hereby notified not to transact any business with him. He is a defaulter and embezzler of several dollars, which he collected and converted to his own use. He is about 5 ft. 5 in. in height and could pass for a half breed Indian or Mexican; very talkative and represents himself as being an instructor of motion picture plays. He is very much infatuated with young women and is quite a "masher."

In all the four months I failed to find one single Violation of my rules, and not once did f have to reprimand a single one. It does my old xovl good to meet one of them now, I am proud of them and the progress they have made. I voice the sentiment of the true and honorable Virginians, Ken- tuckians and Tennesseans when I say we are the friends of the Negro.” eee The fuct that on intelligent, refin- ed Negro is employed in the same place where n white lady haa duties to peiform, does not imply that he Wants fo make advaneee toward his white co-lahorer. On the other hand such a Negro would spill his blood in defense of the woman. The Negro does not expect hie employer, or one of his useocites in business, ta in- vite him to any of their social func- tlons, The Negio does not favor the amalyamation procere. He wants his own color and race. We are sorry to write that we cainot say us much for some of our white mashers—the fellow with the broad wuage Inceches and low cut ehoce, He never looks non the calored git] with an honest ese, and never hesitates in creeping ta the couch of innocence and stenl- ing the mantle of virture from the shiinhing form of chastity. ove Why let the ignorent foreigner tome here and use up the rightful | patition of the Negro?, ee In many of the larger cities, graft. ar. ward heelers, professional bonds. ‘men and corrupt office seekers use ‘the Greck, Mexicana and Italians to further their nefarious schemes anc to assist in keeping them In power.

Mr. Vernon Brown is developing into one of the best athletes the state ever produced. During the recent high school meet in this city he won three races—one of them a hundred-yard dash in the fast time of ten and one-half seconds. The Dunbar Art club met at the home of Mrs. Flora DePriest. After the regular routine of business, a nice three-course luncheon was served and greatly enjoyed. Mr. Benj. Hill of this city left Monday for Kansas City where he will make his future home. Miss Ruth Henderson is arranging to stage a play called "The Country Folks." The most talented young men and women in the city will make up the cast. The Y. M. C. is doing some excellent work. They meet at the different churches every Sunday. If practice will make a good ball team our boys will clean up this season. Saint John Sunday school has a membership of over fifty. Let every parent see that their children attend school regularly. Mrs. L. Gordon is on the sick list, but at this writing is greatly improved. YOUR DUTY. (By Theodore Banks, Salina.) We as a race of people are striving to reach the mark of progress of this world and we cannot do it either unless we all work and pull together. We have been thrown down and trampled upon by the other races. It is time for us to wake up for this is the twentieth century. Let us organize Y. M. C. A's, Bible classes and colored schools for the older people as well as the young, and not so many pool halls, gambling dens and things that will help to bring the Negro race down. Let us establish restaurants; decent rooming houses and things that are of some benefit to the Negro race. If the Negro man or woman don't step forward in this world for his benefit who will? He will be just as far in twenty years as he is today. Just consider how many Negro people their are in this world, and if more of them were to wake up tomorrow and begin to do something for the Negro race, the race would be astonishing to the whole world. About one-third of the Negro race are lovers, drunkards, gamblers and do not care to make anything of themselves. I repeat it dear friends, we have got to wake up and push this race to the front and not lag behind all these many years. If you are too old don't stop, but teach the younger race that they are to fill your places. The Negro race needs Negro doctors, nurses, lawyers, school teachers and all the things that education requires. You see that the white man is trying every day of his life to enlarge his place of business or study some great invention. He is the man that is going to accomplish something in his life. We also need Negro drug stores, grocery stores, restaurants and meat markets. The most trouble with the Negro of today he does not patronize his own race enough. He is all the time finding some fault about the person or about the place of business he conducts. Young man and woman spend your time in trying to be of some use in the world. Learn some trade that will be of a great benefit to you some day, you will not always be bound, so you had better learn this thing while you have the chance. Let us all work together and make this Negro race what it should be. Then we will not have to talk always about the Negro problem. / SPRINGETELD, MISSOURI. The Household of Ruth held its annual services at the Washington Avenue Baptist church Sunday after noon at 3 o'clock, May 10. There was a large and appreciative audience who enjoyed and was benefited by the eloquent discourse as delivered by the pastor, Rev. Holmes, of said church, as well as the members of the Order. Miss Ellen Elinger is Noble Governor of this delightful Order, which is prospering and steadily growing. Rev. W. H. Wheeler, formerly pastor of Pitts Chapel M. E. church, but now Presiding Elder, spent several days in the city, in the interest of the local church. His many old friends were welcoming him with hearty hand-shakes.

Wheeler in his own distinguished manner, addressed a large and representative audience. Mr. Albon Foster who is president of the Y. M. C. A. at Wilberforce University, Ohio, has been elected as delegate to attend the National Convention at Atlanta, Ga., May 14-17 inclusive.

Penn enjoyed quite a pleasant stroll about four miles into the country Saturday morning at Water Valley Mill. The only interruption of their enjoyment of nature's scenery, was the sight of a dead, large blue racer snake. As there has been much sickness and many deaths in the last six or eight months, Mr. W. P. Campbell, a yoyung man of sterling worth, courteous and kind, as well as very efficient in his profession, is kept very busy.

The whole Negro population is stirred up by such a meeting. The whole church has taken on new life. The Ladies Aid will hold their first spring social at the church Thursday.

A good sound report of all the church departments was made and is good spiritual meeting was had. It is given up by all ministers that Rev. Franklin Bray's equal is not in Kansas, and a good many other states. He has raised since coming late September, over $2800. He has did so well that his beloved members voted him a 3 weeks' vacation on full pay and will pay all of his expenses on his trip. He will go to Colorado, of course, where all the wealthy people go to spend a few weeks to rest up from work. Bishop Parks was here on May 3rd and laid the corner stone of the new Bethel church. Bishop Parkle is a fine speaker and a good man, but he could be of better service to the district if he would live in it. Bishop Grant lived and died in the district. Bishop Parks is the better man than Bishop Grant. H. F. Bray is a logical man for Bishop, a writer, statesman, pastor, neacher and builder. The writer observe Bray will die with his sheer on. 100 Candidate for Sheriff of Leavenworth Co., on Democratic Ticket Democratic Primaries Aug. 4, 1914. Metropolitan St. Ry.

Moore, of Carbondale, one of the hustling real estate agents of this section, made a recent visit to Custer, Okla., in company with a white, gentleman. Outside of the "Jim Crow" cars the trip going was a nice one. The business they, were on carried them quite a distance, in the country and by the time they got back to town it was bed time. No hotel in town would accommodate Mr. Moore, so his white friend would not forsakke him, and the two of them borrowed some quilts and blankets and bunked together in a hay car. This is what we call a friend and that is why we have referred to this friend as a gentleman. But Mr. Moore closed a k!? 000 deal which well pays him for his troubles. --- Mothers' Day was fittingly observed at Saint John Sunday and everywhere the white flower was in evidence honoring her. A large and appreciative audience greeted Pastor Brown and listened to an eloquent and touching sermon delivered by him from the theme: "What I Owe Her" selecting his text John 19:26. He interestingly gave the origin of Mothers' Day seven years ago by a young woman in Philadelphia commemorating the death of her mother. He told of the white caration being selected as the emblem because its sweet wholesome fragrance and white purity made it stand out as our appropriate symbol for motherhood. An eloquent plea was made for all to honor our parents who cared for us when we were utterly unable to care for ourselves and how that same care of infancy follows us in interest and in love all the journey of life. At the close of the sermon, Mr. M. W. Cunningham came forward and united with the church. The list of joiners continues to grow. Others joined the past two Sundays are Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Edmonds, Mt. Frank Wilson, Mrs. F. R. McKinley, Mr. Tyler and Mrs. Amanda Alexander. The evening services were well attended. Pastor Brown preached an excellent sermon.

Snelson, wife of our former pastor, and extend to Dr. and family, our heartfelt sympathy. Queen Esther,, given on last Friday evening at the Auditorium was a decided success in every way.

Sermon by the pastor, using as his text Matt 22:40, subject, "Be ye also ready, for ye know not the hour and the Son of God cometh." The sermon, seemingly at his best, delivered one of his able sermons to a waiting audience, after which we had our class meeting which made us feel that the Spirit of God was with us and his presence was abiding in our midst and like were made to confess to the same. If you want to get the benefit of these sermons, be on time and invite your friends to worship with us. Don't let company come and keep you from service, bring your company with you to service.

She was a charter member of Golden Sheaf Temple of S. M. T., an earnest and conscientious laborer for the uplift of humanity. We shall certainly miss her from our ranks as she was active in all departments. She filled the office of Vice-Princess during the time of her demise, never complaining and always earnest and zealous to put this organization in the first rank. She was conscious up to the time of her death and informed the Worthy Princess, Mrs. Mary Greer, that she had attended the lodge for her last time.

He was a native of Virginia and came to Kansas in 1881, and settled in Ottawa, where he resided until called from his earthly home. He was a faithful member of the A. M. E. church—a kind father and loving husband, true friend and loyal neighbor. To have known him was to honor and respect him.

Campbell's court Tuesday afternoon charging Howard Seat with assaulting, April 6, with force and violence, with his clenched fist, thus beating and wounding him, J., P. Costello. Seat was brought to this city by Deputy Sheriff Grant of Binger. Several of Seat's fallels also came, in order to furnish bond for him. Justice Campbell let him loose on a $150 bond. Seat's trial is to come up in Justice Campbell's court May 8, at 11 a. m. It seems that the plaintiff and the defendant live some twenty-two or twenty-three miles north of this city. Seat is called about 22 or 27 years of age. Costello is an old man. Death of Rufus Shaw. The death of Rufus Shaw, colored, which the Tribune of last week forecasted, occurred Friday, April 24, at 4:20 o'clock p. m., in a sanitarium in Guthrie. The body was embalmed there. It was accompanied to this city by J. W. Taylor, and he was joined at El Reno by G. I. Curtin, of Dover, Kingfisher county, who is the Grand Master of the Masonic order of the Oklahoma jurisdiction. The remains arrived here at 5:30 p. m. Saturday, April 25, and were conveyed at once to the family residence at 402 W. Kansas avenue. There they lay until their removal to the M. E. church, where at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon the last rites this side of the grave were enacted The music was furnished by a choir of colored people and was exceedingly appropriate. The deceased was a thirty-second degree Mason and was secretary-treasurer of the Masonic Temple commission, Oklahoma jurisdiction. The Masonic Temple of the Oklahoma jurisdiction is at Boley. It was built at a cost of $40,000. Large aggregate sums of money were headled by Treasurer Shaw, and a cent never passed through his hands which was not clearly accounted for. So it was that the first ceremonies at the funeral were conducted by the Masonic order, there being present, we are informed, one hundred and fifty or two hundred members of high rank from different parts of the Oklahoma jurisdiction. The ceremonies, with the participants in full regalia, were at once elaborate and imposing. The Masonic ceremonies were followed with the funeral sermon, delivered by Rev. S. D. Johnson, one of the leading colored men of this community. The ceremonies were witnessed by the most of the colored people of this city and by many white people. The spacious M. E. church edifice held only a part of those who sought admission. The procession to the cemetery, we are informed, was half a mile in length. Aside from those in the procession, many went to the cemetery in automobiles and in other ways. The exercises at the cemetery were in keeping with those that preceded at the church. This community has sustained a real loss in the death of Rufus Shaw. As the Tribune of last week stated, he had not approached life's prime, being only 31 years of age. He came here in the early days of the town. He had thirty-five dollars. He went to work, but it was by slow stages that he attained a glance into what business success meant. He did what he could confining his efforts to no one line of endeavor until he had been here for some time. A leading citizen here—a white man—tells us that Mr. Shaw set up in the furniture business with a stock of goods that could easily have been transported on a wheelbarrow. But he was always ready on the minute with his rent money. The man who handled the property wondered at this. He did not see how Mr. Shaw could raise it. The value of the property left by him is stated to us to be about $49,000. Nearly all of this he had made in the last seven years. Mr. Shaw's will was filed for probate the forepart of the week. In accordance with his desire, Grand Master Currin was appointed by County Judge Hume as executor of the estate. Mr. Currin informs us that he had known Mr. Shaw since the latter was a little child. The will makes liberal provisions for the widow, and remembers his sister and three brothers. It also directs that the large furniture business which he established shall be continued in the usual way, with Thomas Watkins (white) who had for seven years been his faithful helper, as manager.
