Sixteenth Year. No. 25. MAJOR BROWN. Major Brown, of Kingman County, a Candidate for the Democratic Nomination for the United States Senate. Major Brown is one of the old residents of Kansas and has resided most of the time in Kingman county. He is one of the common people, being a thorough farmer and up to date agriculturist and stock raiser. Like most of the people who as pioneers located in Western Kansas, he has endured many hardships, suffered many inconveniences and done without the luxuries and sometimes without some of the necessities of life, but through all these trying times of droughts, floods, grasshoppers, chinch bugs and other trying times he has remained an agriculturist and always a loyal Kansan. He is a life long Democrat and whether in office or out has always consistently stood for democratic principles and candidates. He has served in the Kansas Legislature and has been honored by the lower house of that body by election to the office of speaker, the highest legislative office within the gift of the people of the state. As a member of the house, he was a leader, was so recognized by those of the opposite political faith as well as by those of his own party and by a republican speaker as well as by his own party was highly honored and at all times recognized and respected as a man of many fire parts, a man thoroughly posted on the affairs of the day, a splendid debater and politician, well versed in the rules of parliamentary law and in all things a man well THE MISSING MAN Major W. L. (Iron Jaw) Brown. qualified to represent the people of Kansas in the state legislature. Major Brown, while not a lawyer, is yet a shrewd public speaker and is always able to defend his position in an able and interesting manner. An speaker of the house he was a fine preceding officer, treating all with great courtesy, and with the utmost fairness. His committee assignments to the opposite party were especially fair and generous and in fact the entire service as speaker were of so high an order for ability, and fairness that all were agreed that he was an ideal presiding officer. Major Brown is one who has many personal friends of the variety that stand by a friend through thick and thin. These many friends throughout the entire state of Kansas are now working as a unit for him for Senator from Kansas. They believe he will ably and creditably represent Kansas in the congress of the United States, in the upper house thereof, the most honorable legislative body in the world and in this belief they are supported by many who though not so intimately acquainted with him know of his record in the legislature, of his ability as a business man, farmer and stock raiser and of his hardships endured on the plains of Western Kansas, where a portion of the time he resided in a sod house. These are Democratic times. Major Brown is a typical Democrat, has dominates in success and in defeat and has been loyal to the party and his caucus going up on down with the party has remained the same true Democrat and as such is entitled to and seems to be the logical man at this time to receive the nomination of his party and as the democratic nominee go before the people next fall and ask for their summer. He is a strong and leading candidate, making a whirl wind campaign his friends, everywhere we are working hard for him and his election at this time seems probable. NORTHWEST MILLING CO. KANSAS CITY KANSAS Writing business at the mouth of the law. Kenton City, Kansas is the home of many large and growing musea, facturing and industrial institutions and among these is the South Western Milling Company. This company has a large and in every way modern milling plant. They manufacture a number of of brands of high grade flour chief among these is the celebrated ARISTOS flour. Their capacity though large is scarcely sufficient to supply the demand upon them. They have large elevator facilities, have on hand an abundance of the best grades of wheat and the products which they place upon the market a standard grade of flour and ranks with the best made, by the best machinery, by the most capable millers and from the best wheat. Mr. A. K. Dillon the representative of this institution is a thorough miller acquainted with the trade, a fine salesman and knows what the people want and how to sell it to them. He says he finds the people like the best and when you have the best or a standard article, ranking with the best on the market, equal to any other than salesmanship is easy. He says he has no trouble in selling the products of the South Western Milling Company. This is the largest hard winter wheat mill in this country. They have an emense warehouse, which stores 20,000 barrels of flour. The mill is fifty-four by one hundred and forty feet and the warehouse is fifty by two hundred and the flour from this mill will be sifted through 1,100 silk cloths haneed by automatic packers and sewing machinery. Everything in connection with this mill is absolutely sanitary with the maximum amount of windows, and metal spouting and elevators and entirely fire proof. This as can be seen is a great institution the only one of its kind in Kashas and the largest of its kind in the entire country. To erect and install such an institution is a mamoth job and one which none but the most capable business men and millers would attempt. It is also a fine thing for Kansas and Kansas City that they located it in our state, which places them as they are right at Kansas City the great railroad center of the west where they are in a position to get the best service from the railroads both in purchase and selling their flour. Their large storage capacity enables them to have on hand at all times an abundance of wheat and flour to supply the trade in an emergency and to guard against any wheat shortage or famine. Kansas is fast becoming a manufacturing state as well as a framing country and such plants as this help to bring other manufacturing institutions to us. We need such plants as this and more of them and badly need more of the kind of men who are managing this great enterprise. Flour made from Red Turkey Wheat is the best. The flour made by this milling company is all made from the highest grade of Red Turkey wheat. Insist on having the best. Tell your dealer you want flour manufactured by the Southwest Milling Company. Their flour is the best on the market. GREAT BEND Mr. W. E. Stokes, of the firm of Stokes & Stokes, in the green house business in Great Bend is a candidate for postmaster. He is the secretary-treasurer of the Democratic Congressional Committee of the Seventh district. Mr. Stokes is a staunch Democrat, always loyal to his patty, great in defeat as well as in victory. He is an admirer of Congressman Neely and ably support him in his campaign for congress. Representative Neely should make this appointment as Mr. Stokes is deserving and Great Bend citizens, regardless of political affiliation want him to have the place. His Democracy is of the purest and best—never falters, and now that the party is in control in state and nation, such Democrats should receive the plums. The Great Bend post office would be well cared for if placed in his hands. Mr. C. F. Younkin, the present clerk of Barton county is a candidate for renomination for that office. He is a representative Democrat and as such as well as a business man is popular and well liked by his fellow citizens. He has a strong personal following in his county and will receive a hadsome vote as he did when previously before the people as a candidate for preference at their hands. Mr. Younkin is a capable officer and giving a fine administration of the office which he fills and is liked by all those with whom he comes in contact and is especially satisfactory county clerk to those who have business with him. He has a strong personal following in the party and also among members of other parties. He will be renominated and elected Judson H. A '41 received probate and inventor index of Patron county is a candidate for reorganization by the TOPEKA,KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 26. 1914. Democratic voters of the county. Judge Hall is at this time one of the best officers of these courts the county ever had. The offices of probate judge and juvenile judge are among the most important in the state. Through the probate court every so often all of the real estate of the county passes and is administered, widows and orphans, many helpless have to come before him and have business in that court. People sue others many times from choice, but few people, except when they want a marriage liscence have business in the probate court in the first instance from choice, they go there because that is the place they have to go to protect their rights and conserve their property interests. The creation of the juvenile court was a humane legislative act and the designation of the probate judge to be judge of that court also was very highly appropriate. Judge Hall looks out for the interests of all who have business before him and protects all with commendable vigilence. He is a fine man, a good judge and deserving of the support of the people of Barton county. ARKANSAS CITY Akansas City, one of the thriving cities of Southern Kansas is usually at the front in all things, religious, political, educational and commercially. Of one of her commercial institutions we wish to call the attention of our many readers to is the New Era Milling Co, which has a fine plant, officered and managed by very popular and capable business men and millers. The plant has a capacity of about one thousand barrels of flour per day and the product they turn out is all standard goods and makes the finest of bread, pies and cakes. Their leading brands are the "Polar Bear," "X. T. C." and the "Noxall." Mr. A. J. Hunt is the president and R. C. Sowden is secretary and treasurer. These men are in the front rank as financiers, business men and millers. The plant runs night and day throughout most of the year and the business is constantly increasing, which fact is a glowing tribute to the quality of the product which the mill produces and to the ability, courtesy and personal following in the business world of the president and secretary. We would like to see them grow to such a extent that they would have to enlarge the plant and we predict that the popularity of their fine brands of flour and the management of the business will soon make an addition necessary. The people managing and interested in this establishment are all fine people, deserving of success, and have our best wishes for a continued and increased prosperity. EMPORIA, KANSAS. O. A. Horabaugh Dry Goods Co. The O. A. Horabaugh Dry Goods Co. is one of the largest dry goods and general merchandise establishments in the state. It is under the management of Mr. V. R. Paxton. He is a great man and a merchant. The volume of the business is enormous. They carry a large line of all grades of goods, the finest of silks and fabrics and the cheaper cotton goods. Emporia is a thriving city and commercially taps a vast area of country. Mr. Paxton stands well with the other merchants of the locality and with the patrons of the store. This store has a large floor space and the value of the stock on hands at all times is immense. They have a small army of clerks, all competent and agreeable, and all well liked by their manager and he is liked by them as well. These is no city anywhere the size of Emporia which can boast of an establishment superior to this. We are personally acquainted with Mr. Paxton and have been for years, and from our acquaintance with him as a man, a financier and merchant, we can readily understand the eminent success of a business under his management. Failure with such as he at the head would be out of the question. Any person wishing anything in their line should not pass this store by. They should visit this gigantic store before making a purchase elsewhere, and try, if possible, to meet and become personally acquainted with Mr. Paxton. HUTCHINSON, KANSAS. Beno. County. Hon. Franklin P. Hettlinger of the "Salt City," Hutchinson, is making a great race for the Democratic nomination for Congressman in the Seventh district. He is a candidate to succeed Hon. Geo. A. Neely, who is his year a candidate for the United States Senate. We have just finished a careful canvass of the entire Seventh district and find that Mr. Hettlinger is the strongest candidate in the race. He is popular with all classes, is a thorough gentleman, an able business man and the man of the hour in the congressional canvass in this district. He is now in the prime of life, is one of the great lawyers of the state, being recognized as such throughout the state and district. He is a strong advocate of democratic principles and is a leader of his party in Kansas. He is in every way the logical man to represent this district in congress because a man of many fine parts, magnetic, able and energetic. He has lived in Kansas many years, has always been active in the business, social and political affairs of the state particularly in the seventh district and Hutchinson, his neighbors all respect and honor him and all concede him to be congressional timber, and congressional size. They know that in him they have a candidate before them who is competent to fill the place and that if he is elected they will not be misrepresented. He has a fine and well appointed office and all his surroundings indicate the man of ability and one well poised and balanced, well suited for a seat in the hall of congress. He is popular in his county and in all the other parts of the district, having strong and influential friends in large numbers where ever he is known, as he is one who to know him is to admire him. He stands by the national administration and is pledged if elected to do what he can to sustain and further the policies of President Wilson and his administration. His democracy is pure, he long has been an active worker for democratic principles and for all that pure democracy stands and represents. He thinks as do many people of his district that it is folly to elect persons to congress who are out of harmony with the party, the administration and the people as many candidates are. Mr. Hettinger is not subject to this objection as he is in entire harmony with the people, the times, the party and the administration and with President Wilson personally. In the past he has stood for all in nation, state and city that was best for the country, the party, the state and the people and all that was giband and best in Civil affairs and he will continue in the future as in the past to take his stand for right and as congressman from this state he can and he will be a representative of whom all can be proud whether living in the seventh or some other district of the state. (The great consensus of opinion is as we find that he is the best qualified man for the place and taking all conditions into consideration the logical man for congress from the Seventh Kansas Congressional district. We know him well, he is a fine man, to know him is to like him when you once meet him you want to meet him again and each time you meet him you admire him more than ever. He has our personal good wishes and we assure the voters of this district that they will not make a mistake when they vote for him. Mr. S. P. Rowland is a candidate to succeed himself as county superintendent of schools of Reno, Kansas. He is a candidate subject to the will of the democrats of the county. He is a very fine man an educator of the highest type a splendid educator and has given universal satisfaction. He has the endorsement of all of the teachers and principals of the graded schools of the county. During our recent visit to Hutchison and in Reno county, we was pleased to note that Mr. Rowland has no opposition from any sources. We are pleased to see the people disposed to keep this great office out of politics. Politics should not enter into educational matters any more than in the judiciary. Mr. Rowland has resided in Reno county many years, has during many years been closely identified with the people in an educational way and many of the people there have in the past been pupils of his, he has been welcome to their homes and is intimately acquainted with them. He is perhaps the best known man in the county, and we did not find a man or woman or child that knew him that did not like him. It is no wonder that he has no position. He ought not to have any. When a man is so nearly unanimously the choice of all the people of a county for a position he should have the position as a matter of general public consent and acclaim. The schools of Kansas are among the most efficient anywhere in the nation and it is not hard to tell the reason when the Kansas schools have such me as Mr. Rowland at their head. KANSAS CITY KANSAS Mr. Elmer Hickman is a candidate for the position of register of deeds. He is one of the leading young Democrats of Wyandotte county, and is asking his party for the nomination. Mr. Hickman is engaged in the real estate business, is a good man, and is well qualified to perform the duties of the office for which he is a candidate. Justin N. Baird announces his candidacy for the Legiature from Wyandotte county. As the date for the primaries approach the campaign in the various localities of the state is becoming more interesting and more closely contested. In Wyandotte as they usually do have, they are having a warm campaign for all offices. We find that in the candidates, Mr. Baird, who is asking for the Republican nomination from the Eighteenth representative district, is a leading candidate. Mr. Baird is a young man of splendid appearance, a man of fine education and qualifications. He was graduated from the University of Iowa in 1900 and from the University of Michigan in 1908. He came to Kansas City and entered the prac- here ever since that time. He is a fine lawyer, well liked by the officers with whom he comes in contact, respected by bench and bar and a favorite among them. He is not a professional politician but has always taken a lively interest in the affairs of the day and of the party. He is now asking for the first time that the people of the Eighth district elect him to represent them and the people of the state in the Legislature. If nominated he will be a strong candidate in November and if elected an able representative. The Goebel Furniture and Carpet Co., of Kansas City, is one of the largest establishments of the kind in the state. They have an acre of floor space. It is comparatively a new firm having been in business only four years, yet in that length of time by correct methods, fair prices, fair treatmet of its patrons and the business public they have built up an enormous business. Their motto is one price to all, and equal courtesy to all. Their buyers are experts, go to the Eastern markets and Europe and get the best at lowest figures, they buy for cash so that when the goods are in their store they are ready for the customer with the lowest prices on the market for an equal grade of goods. They carry a full line of furniture, carpets, curtains, shades and general household and office furniture and furnishings. If you want anything in their line you had better give them a call. They are located at 609 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kans., They guarantee satisfaction or your money back. WICHITA—SEDGWICK COUNTY. Politics in Sedgwick county are always interesting and very warm and exciting and this year it is even more so than usual if there be any difference between the contests in this campaign and past years. There are the usual number of aspirants for the various offices. (The sheriff's office is one of the big offices in this state the emolument connected with it is in the more thickly settled counties very good, the duties are exacting and the occupant of the office must be a man with a fair education a man with a cool head and possessing much courage both moral and physical. Also he should be a good business man and should be one who has been a success in life and who has prospered in his own business and finally one in whom the people who know him and have neighbored with and transacted business with him have respect and confidence both as to ability and courage and in his honesty of purpose in life and his morality. This being a day and age when the people justly and wisely look into the private life of those coming before them for their support at the polls for political preferment, and many a candidate has been relegated to the political scrap heap because he had led and the time of his candidacy was lending an immoral life—a Doctor Jackyl and Mr. Hyde—also they look into the question of whether a man, if married, is a kind and loyal husband and father, and this is as it should be. This year the women of Kansas for the first time in her history have the full exercise of suffrage equal to that which the men have enjoyed and while they are an unknown quantity as to how they will vote, to what extent they will allign themselves with the various political organizations, not they are an unknown quantity on the questions of the day and any candidate who can not pass muster and inspection before them is wasting his time being a candidate for any political office in Kansas. The Business Manager of The Topeka Plaindealer has been in Wichita many times in the past ten or fifteen years and has been there several times during the present year. He is well and favorably acquainted with Mr. Gus Suhm, who is one of the long time residents of Wichita, having resided there since 1889, now more than twenty years. He has been in business there continuously during this time. He is a sharp business man, a man of fine appearance, a pleasing personality and at the age of life where he is absolutely dependable in any activity in which he may engage. He is a life-long Democrat and though he has not before been a candidate for office has always taken an interest in politics and worked and contributed in a financial way to the success of the morv and have been a Democrat in defeat as well as in success. People who know him best like him beat. They say he is morally and physically clean as well as notically. He is a man of great ability, a man of good education, has a fine and interesting family in which he is greatly devoted and was think, that he is the best man in the world. He is morally and physically conscious and in every way merits the vote of the people of Sweetuck county. We found many who thought he would succeed at the primary in August as he deserves to do. ROSS McCORMIC6 First deputy county attorney has pailed his pams on the Democratry roll as a candidate for the summit attorney position he has to the nominees of the Dauro senate in tie of law in 1009 and has resided by Aug. 4, 1914. Mr. McCormick's Price $1 50 Per Year. practical experience with the duties of this office for two terms as first deputy, during Mr. McGill's incumbency, has thoroughly equipped him for that important position for which the voters of Salfwick county will elect him. His familiarity with every function of the office and its every detail economical to the tax-payers make him a logical applicant for the position of county attorney. NEWTON, HARVEY COUNTY, KANARA Mr. N. G. Perryman, a candidate for representative from the 65th Kansas Representative District. Mr. Perryman, the present member of the lower house of the Kansas legislature is again a candidate. He thinks he is entitled to succeed himself and has arrived at that conclusion after many of the best people of the district requested him to be a candidate to succeed himself. The people pointed out to him his second, which they approved, he served the people of his district and state well and faithfully and they intend to not the stamp of "well done good and faithful servant" on "him when they took in August and in November. He was on many of the important committees and chairman of some. At all times he was alert in the interest of the people; was a constant and regular daily attendant at all the committee meetings; was on several joint committees and conferences committees and in the committee room and on the floor of the house always working and fighting for the people and the interests of the state as well as of his own district. The roll call of the house shows that his vote was recorded on the right side of the important measures and that he was a faithful and competent representative. These facts are known by the people and they intend that he shall again represent them on the floor of the house when the legislature again meets in Topeka. This is as it should be. Men in office, when the record shows them competent and honest should be retained for a second term. It has been the custom for years with all parties to renominate those in office for a second term whose record justifies such action and as the record of Mr. Perrume is right it is no surprise that the people here in this district went after him, and drafted, him as their candidates for this cominik term. It is the handsome endorsement of his record and we congratulate him. NEWTON, HARVEY COUNTY, KANSAS. Mr. W. L. D. Hagan of Newton, and a personal friend of Senator Thompson is a candidate for the position of Post Master of Newton. Mr. Hagan is one of Newton's best known and favorably liked citizens. He has been an admirer of Senator Thompson, did more than any other man in Harvey county to secure his title and is a staunch Democrat. He has been loyal to the party in the past when there existed no chance of Democratic success, and now that the party is in power in the Nation should be rewarded as one of the faithful. The people of Harvey county are for him to a man and have endorsed him for the place. Leading men from all over the state have endorsed him for Post Master of Newton. LEAVENWORTH COUNTY. Mr. Rutherford a candidate for County) Attorney of Leavenworth Mr. Rutherford was born and reared in Leavenworth county, was educated in the public schools and high school of Leavenworth and graduated from the school of law of the University of Kansas in 1910. He was in the same year admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of Kansas. He has been associated with his father in the practice of law over since. His father has been admitted and respected member of the Leavenworth bar for thirty years. Mr. Rutherford is a fine young man, a successful lawyer and takes an interest in all public affairs. He is a Christian gentleman and active interest in church and Sunday School work. His friends say he is poor and honest and needs a job. He is a republican and asks for the republican nomination. If elected he says he will do his duty and to the best of his ability fill the office. YALE KANSAS Mr. Robt. Dewberry who was sent, as a delegate to the S. S.

Mrs. Minnie Williams Dowser wishes you would help find her lost brother, mother and father, separated in Chicago, Ill., in 1891, taking the two youngest, Minnie and Charles and leaving them with a colored lady in Mendon, Michigan.

Mansas should be proud of her insurance institutions, especially the Kansas Casualty and Surety Co., located at Wichita, Kansas. Mr. J. C. O. Morse, the president and M1. J. W. O'Neil, the treasurer, are two of the most active, hard working and energetic business men in the state or elsewhere. They are always on the firing line and can be found at their desk early and late pushing the interest of this great corporation. Mr. Morse is one of Kansas' leading statesmen and business men and for years was connected with the railroad commission and has held other high positions of honor and trust in the great Sunflower state. He has never lost a battle, and anything he applies himself to, spells success, whether it be in politics or business. Mr. O'Neil is a master of finance and business and is known over the United States throughout the business circles. He has been identified with large corporations all of his life, in fact, grew up among them. He was connected with the water works of Topeka and was the man who put it on a solid footing. The plant was scarcely worth anything when he came to Topeka and took charge of it, and now it has made several of the stockholders wealthy. He was one of the organizers of this Surety Company and gleaning from the assets and liabilities, it can be seen that the company is growing in leaps and bounds. They have only been running a short time and have several thousand dollars in the reserve fund. They have over $200,000 in loans and real estate and over $700,000 in bonds and securities, making their business run close to one million dollars. They guarantee any position of clerks in any office or institution at a very reasonable rate and any party or parties wishing to furnish bonds for their honesty and integrity will be well looked after by this concern. We recommend them to any colored person when in need of an administrator, executor or guardian. It will be good to have this company represent your interest. You can make your will and appoint them as administrator and you can rest assured that every detail will be carried out and your interest given the best attention. Any colored man who is a builder or contractor can write to this concern for bonds and we assure you that you will be treated the same as your white brother. Wichita should be proud of this concern and the two living spirits, Mr. Morse and Mr. O'Neil. They have spacious quarters and it is a source of pleasure to call upon these gentlemen and talk with them and you can see the wonderful progress they have made in such a short time. For years Kansas had to send money to New York and other eastern states for the same purpose this company was organized and now we are proud that the Sunflower state can care for our interest along this line as well as any concern in the East.

Ross McCormick WICHITA, KANSAS, First Deputy County Attorney, —CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET. As George McGill retire from the office with this, his second term, I am seeking to succeed him. It takes four men to run the office of county attorney and three assistants. I have been first deputy during Mr. McGill's two terms and have had the experience so necessary to the economical and successful discharge of the duties of the office. That is of value to the taxpayer and makes me the logical candidate. Because of the pressing duties of the office, I can not get away to see each voter and respectfully ask you to consider that fact. Any assistance in my behalf will be greatly appreciated. Speak to your neighbor about it. G. W. RICKSECKER.

The fourteenth annual session of the Federation of Colored Womens' clubs convened at Sumner High school in Kansas City, Kas., June17-18, 1914. The sessions were called to order by the president, Miss Lulu B. Harris. The welcome address in behalf of the citizens was delivered by Dr. S. H. Thompson, which was well received and very interesting. Response to addresses of welcome: Mrs. F. O. Miller, of Wichita, also greeting to the women, Prof. H. T. Kealine Western University, and it was enjoyed by all. The papers on all subjects were very interesting. Those which caused a great deal of discussion was the paper on "Clivie Righteoumaness" by Mrs. D. L. Wadlington, of Topeka, and "The woman and the Ballot" by Mrs. Sidney DePrist, of Salina. The musical numbers both instrumental and vocal were well rendered and pleasing. The musical program by the local talent on Thursday evening was very interesting and showed marked ability on the part of the young people. On Thursday, Prof. W. R. Carter, of the Topeka Industrial Institute, gave an interesting talk as did also Mr. Marquess, principal of Sumner High school, Kansas City, Kas. On Thursday afternoon, Mr. H. I. Monroe and Mr. Elijah Scott, both of Topeka, made interesting talks to the ladies and at night, Judge I. F. Bradley gave an interesting and highly instructive talk. The money voted out for charity was $30—seven dollars and fifty cents to four institutions; The Orphans' Home, Kansas City, Kansas; Old Folks' Home, Leavenworth; the Childrens' Home and Orphans' Home, Topeka. Miss Lulu B. Harris, the ex-president, was elected as a delegate to represent Kansas at the National Federation at Wilberforce, Oloo, and her expenses allowed. She was also given $5.70 in a purse. The amount $47.00 was voted to Mr. Nick Chiles, of The Topeka Plaindealer for printing. The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: President—Mrs. Harper, Wichita; first vice-president—Mrs. M. Young. Lawrence; second vice—Mrs. Tennie Blake, Atchison; Mrs. W. W. Shobe, Salina, recording secretary; Mrs. Eddie Bowers, Wichita, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Annie Daniel, Parsons, treasurer; Mrs. Ella Taylor, Atchison, chairman; Mrs. Kitty McDonald, Great Bend; Mrs. P. Tolbert. Topeka, members of executive board. The Federation adjourned to meet next year in Salina. They had on exhibition $6,361.80 worth of art work. This was the largest gathering since the organization of the Federation in Kansas and perhaps the most representative body of colored women that ever assembled under one roof in the Sunflower Metropolis. They are earnest and sincere in their work as was evidenced by the walls of four spacious rooms being filled with art and needle work. Truly it was the finest display ever witnessed in Kansas City, and visitors from far and near flocked in two, fours and crowds and stood amazed at the rare beauty of the scene. They admired it, and lingered after the time to adjourn. It was an exhibition of the handicraft of Kansas' fairest and best women whose noble hearts beat in unison for the advancement and uplift of the race. To say the least, beauty, culture, refinement and brain contributed generously to this gathering and the reports show the various local clubs are making marked and commendable strides along all lines. They are paying strict attention to orphans and neglected children, and the old people are foremost in their thoughts and acts. They pay strict attention to the public schools, and instead of wanting THEIR kiddies, and the neighbor's to rule the teachers, they plot and plan with the instructors as to the best way to care for the kiddies and stimulate an interest in the things higher up. They have built wisely and well, and today the organization stands second to none of its kind in the country. Much praise is due Mrs. A. I. Patton, of Topeka, the corresponding secretary. She is loved and honored by all, and they declared she was the best and most competent secretary that ever served the organization. It was a great meeting and one out of which will come much good for the race and humanity in general. Meet me at the big race meet July 1 at the Fair Grounds. Prof J. A. Markham of Independence, was a visitor in the city this week. Miss Anna Brown, teacher at Oakland for the past two years, left Tuesday for Emporia to attend the Summer Normal. Miss Brown has made one of the best teachers Oakland ever had. Four exciting horse races will be witnessed at the Fair Grounds July 4. Don't miss this event. Mr. Clarence "Margenthalier" Harwell of Nashville, Tenn., who for the past six months had been operating a lineage maiden on The Topeka Plaindealer, departed for his home in "Dixie Land," Saturday at last week Mr. Harwell is nice gentlemanly young man, courteous, kind and polite, and during his short sojourn in the Sunflower Capitol, made many warm friends, who hate to lose him, and among these friends may be counted his working comrades and the management of The Plaindealer. We wish "Old Merg" luck wherever he may roam. Mr. John E. Lewis and daughter of Wichita, are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Monroe. Mr. Lewis is grand chancellor of Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. of P., and secretary of the Baptist State Convention. He is on his annual tour of visits to K. P. lodges for the last time, as he and family leave soon for Kingston, Jamaica, where he goes to reside. His sister, whom he has not seen for thirty-four years, resides there, her husband conducting a large store at Morant. Mr. and Mrs. Lewis have many friends all over Kansas who regret their departure, but wish them success in their new home across the deep blue sea. Miss Thelma Coleman and Master Manley Rhodes graduated from the Catholic school last week, the only ones of their race in the class, and Miss Coleman was the only girl—her class-mates being boys. "The Parish Priest," was presented by a well trained cast, for the graduates at the Grand opera house, and at the close of which Father Hayden presented the diplomas. He spoke words of encouragement to the class and admonished them that this was only the "commencement" that the goal of success and perfection in education was farther ahead, but by good, honest, faithful work in the future would lead them to crowning success. Thelma and Manley are two of the brightest youngsters in Topeka and we not only wish, them continued success but predict a bright future for them. They are sweet tempered kind and sympathetic and have the honor and respect of every member of their class, and they participated in all of the class rilics. The Catholic way is the Lord's way and some day these prejudiced protestants will see that they are radically wrong in the way they treat the colored race, but it will be too late. A HAIR PARLOR FREE This is a rare opportunity for a good business woman, who understands the hair business. The parlor is located in the heart of Topeka, and on the principal thoroughfare, and all street cars pass the door. It is well stocked with the best to be had for use in this business, and all that is lacking is someone to run it. No outlay of cash for you as everything will be supplied.—Write "B" care of The Plaindealer. Church Notes. SAINT JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. (By Church Staff.)

With the above motto as his guide, on Thursday, My, W. H. Fisher passed to higher life. Nigh on fifty years since he swore allegiance to the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and from that happy day till now, he expected and was prepared to plant his feet "on rock that is higher than I." Years, doubts and fears for those who departed from our midst, never to return had no terror for him, and like the brave, true, tender-hearted husband and father that he was made him loved, honored and respected during his three score and ten years among men, he laid down his burden and departed for a world that knows no sorrow, sickness or pain. Mr. William H. Fisher was born in Abbeyville, South Carolina, seventy years ago, and with his beloved companion, who preceded him some four years ago, and his son, Hon. W. W. Fisher, wife and family, they settled in Topeka, sixteen years ago and from that day till his passing, he proved a kind friend, splendid neighbor and an honorable husband and father. He laughed at the cruelty of a heartless slavery in the ver face of his persecutors, but never forgetting the God who sent a Moser who lead four million of his race to freedom. Mr. Fisher was progressive and jolly and old and young enjoyed his companionship. His sunny disposition made the young feel that there is something in life to strive for, and the old feel that joy and happiness comes to he that is patient, and believes in the God of Daniel, and the same God that delivered his arm from the clutches of the mosat cruel and heartless slavery in the world's history. Mr. Fisher was employed by the city of Topeka for 12 years, where he was working at the time of his sudden demise. He owned a nice comfortable home on Hatrison street where he enjoyed all the comforts of life. Some two years ago he filed on a claim in Nebraska, near his daughter, Mrs. Manse, and at the time of his demise was preparing to pay her a visit and look after his new niece, Rosina. He is the father of Hon William W. Fisher, educator and business man, who made name and fame in the educational and political arenas of Kansas and today (though he sides in Illinois) white and black cili-zera honor and respect his alive. Funeral services were held Wednesday from St. John A. M. E. church of which the deceased was a member The Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Kanee City Kas., for sixteen years his neighbor held a worthy tribute to a man that he had always found a care and honorable. The Rev. J. M. Brown master of Saint John also paid a loving tribute to the deceased. Mr. Wichera's remains were commenced to Mount Auburn cemetery and laid to rest beside his beloved companion. May angles guard his soul. ..... Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Harper of Wichita attended the Rantist. State Sunday School convention in session this week at the Topeka Industrial Institute.

Cancer Remedy The Cancer, if Not Removed—No Pay F. Damont Smith, who is one of the brightest senators that ever graced the legislative halls of Kansas. His son, Mr. Eustes Smith, is one of the most prominent and distinguished young attorneys in Kansas. He is a chip off the old block and well versed in law. His many friends insist upon his running for court attorney, and he has consented to let them use his name. He was born in Kinsley, Kansas and attended the law school at Washington, D. C., and was admitted to practice law before all courts in Kansas and the United States Supreme court. Mr. Smith served as clerk under Senator Curtis for four years in Washington, where he gained a wide experience in national law. This young man has a wide circle of friends with whom he is very popular and a vigorous camouflaged and a convincing speaker. Out of eleven criminal cases during the last term of court, he was successful in eight. This shows that he is a successful attorney and has a way of putting things before a jury that makes them see things as they really are. Everybody speaks in the highest terms of praise of young Mr. Smith and predict his nomination and election. Another veteran of Hutchinson is a candidate for county commissioner. It is Judge G. V. Ricksecker, now justice of the peace. He settled in Hutchinson over forty years ago, when the population was less than six hundred. He went to New York and other Eastern states and solicited over $50,000 for Kansas during the great drought and also when the "hopper" devastated the state. He has been a great help to Hutchinson and the people feel proud of him and feel that they cannot do him a greater honor than elect him one of their commissioners. He is upright and honest and we predict a sure nomination. we spent a day and found the town full of harvest hands, and among them a large umber of colored me. It was a source of pleasure to see colored farmers coming in and taking lords of colored and white harvest hands out to their farms, and the white farmers were doing the same. This makes us more determined in our fight and stronger in our belief that if more of our people would get out of the larger cities and go to the farm, it would only be a matter of time until the race would be independent. Rev. J. H. Ramey, pastor of the First Baptist church of that city owns a fine farm which his son, G. U. Ramey is farming. They will harvest about 3500 bushels of wheat this year. Rev. Ramey is not only a minister, but a business man. Each year he ships several cars of junk to the Colorado Fuel and Iron Co. He is a man that does things and makes things come to pass. He owes several pieces of property besides his farm. He has several head of cattle, hogs, horses and some of the finest mules you ever looked upon and hundreds of chickens. He built the church here four years ago and it is a fine press brick structure, modern in every particular. Although the Reverend is up in years, he is as active as a man of thirty. We met Mrs. Kuth Martin Love, one of the wealthiest colored women in that part of the country and perhaps in the state. She owns several hundred acres of land and other good property and has a neat bank account. She is eighty years of age and was married to Mr. Love recently, also a wealthy old man, who died a short time ago and left her the greater portion of his wealth. She has resided in the county for forty years, and says if the young Negro would go to work as she did they would have money and land too. Bay, Ramsey, pastor of the A. M. E. church reports the Sunday school Convention a success and the delegates are elated over the manner in which they were entertained. He is an industrious minister and is doing much for racial uplift. Miss Lucenda Murant is an industrious young lady pid was for sometime a teacher in Waurika and Watonga, Oklahoma. She was educated in the schools of Great Bend, quit her position in Oklahoma to come home and care for her aged parents. Her father died sometime ago and is spending her time and energy trying to comfort her mother in her old days. She is bright and industrious and, we expect to hear of some good man wanning her heart and hound We met our friends, Mr. James Buchanan, one of the prosperous farmers, who owns several hundred acres of fine land and plenty of horses and mules. He is harvesting a large crop this year. Mr. Buchanan had the misfortune of losing his wife after a marriage less than a year ago. He says the doctors misled him and performed an operation upon her without his consent which resulted in her death. This is an outrage and the people of Great Bend and other places should take head to this warning and not let their families be butchered up by these doctors that have a diploma and that is all and are always using their knife on some innocent person for experiment. In such serious cases a doctor of reputation and experience should always be consulted. If what Mr. Buchanan says is true these doctors overstepped their bounds and should be prosecuted for performing such an operation when it was entirely unnecessary. We met Mr. A, J. Michaux, who owns 160 acres of land near Pratt and has sixty head of cattle, hogs, horses mules, and chickens galore. He will harvest several thousand bushels of wheat this year. He is one of many who has made good. We met Mr. and Mrs. Bowers, who are conducting a first-class barber shop. Mrs Bowers is one of the finest lady torsorial artists in the business. She was born in Michigan and enjoys the company of a beautiful and highly cultured daughter and her mother also lives with her. She is elk-lovers years of age. Mrs. Bowers has also two fine sons. We visited Hutchinson, the city that is controlled by our friend Mrs Walter Evans. He is the shining star and a man that make things come to pass. We are compelled to say that if we had at least one hundred colored men with the push and energy of Mr. Evans, the race would be much better off, not only in the artificial world, but in the business world as well. He is a lover of the race and has distinguished himself as a leader and is constantly doing things that count in the community where he lives, especially in the city of Hutchinson. He is the city collector and has the responsibility of handling a considerable amount of the city's funds. The city has confidence in his honesty and integrity. He has a beautiful home and has recently made some improvements. He has several lots and a fine garden and his wife has several hundred chickens. She is an excellent woman of high character and is a great worker along charitable lines. They enjoy the company of one son, W. Y Morgan, who is named after W. M "Billy" Morgan, editor of the Hutchinson News and one of the best last men in Reno County. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON. WALTER W. EVANS. Mr Morgan is much interested in his name sake and never fails to remember him on his birthday. Mr. Morgan is a generous and kind-hearted man and has done much to build up Hutchison. While in Hutchinson we were the guest of Mr. W. W. Evans and family. He is also a tireless worker in the Knights of Pythias Lodge, and his many friends over the state have ask him to become a candidate for Grand Chancellor of Kansas and jurisdiction. Mr. Evans has consented to allow his name to be presented as a candidate. Hutchinson is a great city and one of the best in the state. We found a fine class of white people who seem to be fair and wish the colored people success and give them employment and like to see them own nice homes ad property and feel that they are a part of the great commonwealth. Rev. Brav and congregation have erected a fine church and are succeeding and doing a great work for advancement and uplift of the race. We attended a sacred concert given by the Sunday school children of his church at the court house, where services are being held, while the church is under construction. We must say that Hutchinson has as fine a lot of musical talent to be found in any city of its size in the West, and the children made a fine showing. We visited Mrs. R. B. Perkerson and was sorry to learn of the death of her son, Mr. William Hebrew, who died in a hospital at Sioux City, Ia., May 27th. He was twenty-seven years of age. He was one of the finest automobile machinists in the business and was demonstrating cars for a large concern. Mrs. Perkerson was twice called to his bedside, and the last time just after burdening her mother, Mrs. Anna Harvey, who had just came all the way from Arizona to make her home with them, when she was called to Sioux City to be at the bedside of her son. She was then called to the bedside of her mother, who only lingered a few days after her arrival from Sioux City. This is certainly a trial and Mrs. Perkerson is holding up well under the strain. Her daughter, Mrs. Rhoen of Junction City, has a little boy Morris Lee, who is living with her and comforting her during her hour of sorrow. Her mother, Mrs. Huvess had been making her home with another daughter in Phoenix, Ariz. Mrs. Carrie Raddck will be one of our solicitors and correspondents in Hutchinson. She is going to put on a strenuous campaign for fifty new subscribers by Aug. 1st. Mr. Seth T. Owens, one of the most popular police officers on the force, has served for years and is said to be one of the best officers that ever served the city of Hutchinson. He knows a crook as soon as he lays eyes upon him, and he makes it hot for those that visit Hutchinson. He has made 1,284 arrests in three and a half years and could have made more, but he is a man that exercises judgment and does not always arrest people for trivial offenses like drunkenness, when he can lecture them and send them home and thereby save them money for their families. He is the first colored man to serve on the Hutchinson force and was appointed in 1898 under Mayor Vincent. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Kennedy, 506 South Main street own a fine building valued at several thousand dollars in which they conduct a fine ice cream parlor and tobacco stand. We endorse the company of an intelligent, cultured wife and two bright, new children. Politics are picking up in Hutchinson, and is making the rounds among the old gladiators, we were highly pleased to meet our old friend, Hor. ```markdown ``` AT GREAT HEND Our friend A. W. Sellers is employing along nicely and enjoyig good health and is making money. Our friend, A. W. Sellersisemployed in the barber business. He is a newly married man and doing nicely, is a great race man and stands up for the protection of his people. Mr. A. T. Booker is employed in the pool and billiard business and is making money. Mr. Irvin is our correspondent and is conducting a successful restaurant and lunch room, and doing well. He is one of the leading citizens of the town, and has lived here for several years. Mr. E. Selectman is conducting a barbershop and clothes cleaning establishment. He has a fine farm near Kingfisher, Okla. He is prosperous. Miss Bowser has consented to be one of our agents and correspondents. She is going to make a special effort to send us fifty new subscribers by the first of August for which a nice premium is offered and we hope the people will encourage this young lady by adding their names to her list. We also met Rev. Sidney, who is doing a nice work for the uplift and elevation of the race. We were proud to meet our old friend, ex-Judge Lobdell, president of the First State Bank. He is a fine scholar and prominent jurist. The Judge is an honest business man we called on him at his bank and were made welcome. There is nothing selfish in Judge Lobdell's ways, he is a plain, upright Christian gentleman. He has one of the busiest banks in Kansas. It is a source of pleasure to watch the farmers and business men crowd into the bank during the day. LEAVENWORTH COUNTY. KANS. Tom L. Johnson a Candidate to Succeed Himself as Probate Judge. Thomas L. Johnson—Tom as he is known—is again a candidate for probate judge. He is a splendid probate judge, administering as judge of the Probate and Juvenile Court of Leavenworth. The duties of this office are many and important and require the most faithful and capable attention which can be given them. He handles the estates coming through his court carefully, treats those grieved and in sorrow tender'y and has a fatherly bearing towards the boys and girls who come in the Juvenile Court. He has made a fine record in the office, endeavors to have the cost to estates as low as possible, handles the property wisely and shows fine business ability and training throughout all departments. He is a fine gentleman in all respects, one of fine and solidly bearing looking young for his age, is active, and full of life and energy. Besides his record in the office his standing and record running over a long period as a citizen is one of which any man may I proud. Judge Johnson has more friends than most men who have been in office and resided in the community as long as he. He is a diplomatic gentleman and knows how to do things and accomplish results without offending people. He is loyal to his city and county and stands up for Leavenworth. He is a good republican and a safe man in office. He gives largely to the party, contributes to worthy charitable institutions and to those who are worthy of charity. The Republicans are enthusiastic over his candidacy, and believe he will be re-elected. We recently canvassed the county and find that he will be elected to succeed himself as his record is such and his standing as a citizen such as to compel support from all quarters. Hon T. E. Leftwick of Winfield, one of the well known democrats of the southwest is a candidate for state printer. He is in point of service one of the best newsmen; men in the state. He began his career as a proprietor of the Cattolton Missouri Journal. This was during the Tilden-Hayes campaign in 1876. He came to Kansas in 1878 and established the Eagle Optic at Larned which he published continuously for twenty-three years. During these years at Larned he took an active interest in the affairs of the democratic party and was for many years a member of the Democratic State Central Committee. Col. Tom Moonlight selected him as a member of the senatorial committee now represented by Senator Jouett Shouse. Mr. Leftwick was also for many years chairman of the democratic committee of Pawnee county and of presented by Senator Jouett Shouse. In 1902, Mr. Leffwin went to Winfield and purchased the Tribune and published it as a democratic weekly and daily about seven years. He then sold out and retired from newspaper work. He is a member of the International Typographical Union Winfield local No 679. He has many fine testimonials among them one from W. H. L. Pemerel, chairman of the democratic state central committee.
