PYTHIANS MAKE A GOOD SHOWING Annual Meet of "Brave Men and Court of Calanthe Was Best Ever. M. H. Historical Society State House Sixteenth Year. No. 32. The Gathering of the PYTHIANS MAKE A GOO Annual Meet of "Brave of Calanthe Was Last week the Sunflower Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe met in annual session in Fort Scott. The ladies of the Grand Court were favored with a grand treat in the natures of a visit from Supreme Vice Chancellor Jones of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Court completed the work of its session in two days—finishing the business. Wednesday night. Reports of all officers showed the Court to be in fine circumsances financially, peace and harmony prevailing, a prosperous past year with indications of a more prosperous one the ensuing year on which they have just entered. Reports show all debts to be paid and a large sum of money in the treasury. Mrs. Mollie Cox of Wichita, was elected G. W. C. She retired a few years ago from that position and preferred to remain out of office but the members of the Court drafted her for the coming year, electing her by acclamation. Mrs. Cox as can be seen is highly esteemed by the members of the Court and has their confidence and that of all who know her, being a fine citizen, neighbor and woman, she has an ideal home and the duties and honors going with the office to which she has again been chosen rest on one worthy of them. The other officers elected were: V. W. C., Mrs. Lizzie Gordon, Iola; G. W. L. Mrs. Jalu Summer, Kansas City; G. T. E. Mrs. Josie Wear, Lawrence; G. S. E., Mrs. Millie Drumgould, Arkansas City; G. R. of D., Mrs. Nannie Davis, Kansas City; G. R. of Deposits, Mrs. Laura Wood1, Winfield; G. D., Miss Jeslie Brown, Fort Scott; G. J., May Edmondson; G. E., Mrs. Nannie Holmes, Cherokes; G. C., M. Wickware, Coffeyville; A. G. C., Millie Lemon, Cherokee; G. H., Fannie Wilson, Pittsburgh; G. L., Mrs. Ina Wallace, Lawrence; Supreme Representative, Mrs. Wilma Anderson, Topeka. The Grand Lodge was presided over by Grand Chancellor John E. Lewis. This was the fifteenth consecutive session over which he had presided in that capacity. His fifteenth annual address was the most pathetic ever read before that body. At intervals throughout the address he could not finish sentences because of interruptions by those present crying and sobbing as he touched upon things of the past and reviewed the fifteen years of his administration as the Grand Chancellor. He parts with them to make a visit to his old home and native land, Jamaca B. West India. In recalling incidents of the past and severing temporary connections with THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD the order and old friends of these many years was more than a mere passing incident and caused all to realize that they were losing a valued Chancellor, member, citizen and friend. All hope that he will return and again be among them. The reports of allofficers were received and all showed the institution to be in good condition; money in the treasury, all current indebtedness wiped out or provided for and several hundred dollars added to the treasury enowments. Grand Chancellor is to be congratulated on the achievements of his fifteen years administration. When he took the reigns there were only seven subordinate lodges and three hundred members since then he has installed forty subordinate lodges with a membership of more than twelve hundred. There has been some falling off in some localities but this is almost entirely due to change in residence, immigration of population, not any of it due to dissatisfaction among members. All dwelling together in peace, harmony and tranquility. He first served as Chancellor Commander of Eschaquer Lodge; was initiated in Fort Scott Lodge, of which he is now a member. Mr. Lewis is a carpetmaker by trade in Wichita. He has met with great success in the business world; has always been industrious and is a fine Christian gentleman. He for a time was the proprietor of a modern barbershop, and there as elsewhere he achieved success. His estimable wife and beautiful daughter are the proprietors of a large ice cream parlor and candy store. Here all of the latest in ices are handled. They own valuable property and have a lovely, modern home. Mr. Lewis was secretary of the Baptist State Convention a number of years, and also secretary of the S. W. District Baptist Association. He is a member of the New Hope Baptist church, Wichita. He was born in Bow Morant Bay, Jamaca, in 1863 and went to Mexico in 1887 and later located in Kansas. The Grand Lodge as a tribute to his services of fifteen years gave up one hour of expression by its members concerning his official career and as a man. Those who opposed him in former days now fully realize and recognize his great ability and they did not hesitate about saying so. He has accomplished a great work for the order and it will ever stand as a lasting monument to his great ability and fine leadership. As a mark of appreciation, the Grand Lodge voted him $100. The Grand Court of Calanthe presented him with a Thermois bottle. He was also the recipient of a fine solid gold chain and K. P. charm as tokens of esteem on the part of the Grand Lodge and Grand Court. He will leave for his native land and will be accompanied by his wife and daughter. He goes to see a sister and brother he has not seen for thirty years. The brother and sister have a large mercantile establishment and our retiring Grand Chancellor only heard from them and learned of these whereabouts by accident. He immediately set on foot a movement and plans to make this visit. He does not know when he will return. He does not say he will never, but inducements are so flattering to visit the brother and sister that he cannot resist, they are growing old and want to again meet before death separates them forever. The Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge elected officers as follows: Grand Chancellor, Dr. S. H. Thomn- ```markdown ``` DR. S. H. THOMPSON, G. C. son, Kansas City; Vice Chancellor, Dr. R. S. Whittaker, Coffeyville; G. P. Norris Stokes, Pratt; G. K. of R. S. Henry, I. Monroe, Topeka; G. M. of E., W. C. Brown, Lawrence; M. A. Brooks Lane, Iola; G. I. G., James Goodwin, Garden City; O.

Endowment, Dr. Davis, Independence; Treasurer of Endowment, G. W. Robbins, Wellington; Supreme Representative, B. Pope, Topeka. The Grand Lodge chose Leavenworth as the next place of meeting. After the proceedings of the Grand Lodge were over except the installation of officers, a grand street parade was held, led by the Pleasanton Cornet Band, after which they went to the park, where the officers were installed in beautiful and impressive style, some new laws passed, after which a general good time was enjoyed by all present. Final adjournment was held amid a blaze of glory and good feeling with resolutions on the part of all to make the coming year and the next annual meeting greater in results and enjoyment than any previous one. The New Grand Chancellor. Dr. S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City, who was elected unanimously as Grand Chancellor, is one of the leading physicians of Kansas and the West. He is a graduate of Hampton college of Hampton, Virginia and University. He is one of Kansas' most substantiar citizens and a fine gentleman. He is a leading physician and surgeon, and has charge of Douglass Hospital in Kansas. He is a Mason a member residence and other valuable property has a lovely wife and four children. He is kind, affable and sociable and is held under the highest esteem by all who know him. He says that it is his ambition to PETER H. H. I. MONROE, G. K. of R. & S. not only uphold the high standard of the Graand Lodge and all subordinate lodges throughout the jurisdiction, but to place them under his administration on even a higher plane of perfection. He has long been a worker in the order and his elevation to the highest office in the gift of the Grand Lodge is well merited and meets with approval throughout the entire jurisdiction and among the members of all of the subordinate lodges. Knowing him as we do we know that his ambition will be attained and that he will demonstrate that the Grand Lodge made no mistake when they made him their Grand Chancellor. DR. W. H. HUDSON RETIRES! Veteran Physician Will Grow Wheat In the Great Northwest. Dr. W. H. Hudson, of Atchison will depart shortly for his new home in Montana and the citizens of Kansas as well as Atchison will greatly miss one of the strongest leaders the state has ever had. He is a member of the True Eleven, and through his advice and leadership, the order has been able to accomplish much for the race throughout the state. The first building ever erected by a co-owned organization in the state, was built by the True Eleven in Atchison and Dr. Hudson was the prime mover and leader in the matter. Had the other people been one-terth as progressive as Dr. Hudson, they would have owned millions where they now own thousands. Dr. Hudson is a great man with brain and purh. Although impaired in health, he still maintains his old-time "pep" and a determination to go ahead and do things. He is now going to live in Montana where he has some very fine land. He will move his family and household goods to his new home where he will put in two hundred acres of wheat to begin with. He has purchased two large traction engines with which he will plow the soil, and the rest of his farming equipment is up to the standard of modern farming implements. Dr. Hudson has an accomplished wife who is a woman of ability and will aid him in his undertaking. He also has a daughter and Toussaint, his son who is a promising young man who will take charge of things. He will be assisted by George Smith, a husky lad who had been making his home with the editor of this paper. With these two fine specimens of manhood—filled as they are with a determination to win in the battle of life, there is nothing for them but fame, fortune and good luck. George is a good, kind hearted boy, and Mr. and Mrs. Chiles who have given him a home for over two years feel his departure keenly. However, it is for the best, as the aerosphere of a city produces so few colored boys that are worth their salt. If George will be faithful and follow Dr. Hudson's advice, in a few years he will be well fixed and receive a good education. Dr. Hudson is well fortified for that proverbal rainy day, being worth over sixty thousand dollars in cold cash. Below we reproduce what the Athelison Champion had to say of their townrmant "After 25 years in the harness in Athelison, Dr. W. H. Hudson, Athelison." stepping down to a rest which he so richly deserves. However, this step is not taken for the purpose of living a life of ease. For the past fourteen months Dr. Hudson has been a very sick man, in fact so sick that at one time he was given but six hours to live. He consulted specialists in Kansas City, St. Paul, and Butte, Mont., from where he recently returned, and they offered one chance to enjoy the fruits of his vigorous and useful life. Rest, they said, would gradually bring back his health, and he finally decided, after a struggle with himself, to quit and live the rest of his life far from the pink pill and the physic bottle. "Dr. Hudson came from a poverty stricken family in the South, and his success has been gained through constant toil Not an essence of 'pull' contaminates this man's career. Young colored, yes, and white men are referred to Dr. Hudson's case as an example of what push and grit will accomplish "He was educated in Nashville, Tenn. During the years of his college life he bourded himself on eighty cents a week. Over a little monkey stove in a back room of a lowly colored rooming house he heated his milk and toasted his bread, and sometimes on holidays he celebrated with a small sausage. "When he came to Atchison in 1888 Dr. Hudson did not have a single acquaintance here. He had $2.50 in cash, little other tangible property, and a million dollars worth of nerve. The first few years after he comes out of school the average young physician spends in meeting people and losing some of his "dear old college" ideas. A colored man has added obstacles to surmount, and in those days when the shadow of a great racial war still hung over this country the average man hated the idea of having his pulse held by the son of a slave. But Dr. Hudson made friends, lots of them, both white and black. And his friendship was the kind that improved with age until today there is hardly a man in town but who would not trust him with anything they had. During the past twelve ```markdown ``` DR. W. H. HUDSON years his practice has been largely among white people, especially for the treatment of rheumatism, in the treatment of which disease he is regarded as very proficient by other local physicians. "Comparatively speaking, Dr. Hudson is a well-to-do man now. His residence at 609 Division street is a comfortable and pretty place, and he has five well dressed children. 'I do not care to brag,' he said to a Globe reporter yesterday, 'but I have made hay and and now that my time to quit has come, I am ready. It is hard, mighty hard to retire.' "During his life in Atchison, Dr. Hudson has never held himself above the less fortunate members of his race, which is responsible to some degree, for the respect accorded him by all. He will be 51 years old next Christmas eve, if he lives, and he says he intends to do the latter for many years. Dr. Hudson and his family will probably go to Montana for his health soon and when he has improved enough to warrant it, will probably return to Atchison. He is succeeded in his practice by Dr. Frank Pearl, of Butte, Mont. and inpertious colored citizens of Shawnee county, was a candidate at the primaries for the Democratic nomination for representative from the colored district comprising the Pine and Black ward of the city of Shawnee, and all of that, part of Shawnee county, which lies outside the city of Shawnee, and south of the Kansas river. Robert Smith, who has ably represented the district for several times in the Republican was nominated by the party. The Progressive Party have a candidate in the district and the contest promises to be very content. All three claim that they are going to win. In Crawford county, Wier city, the Democrats appointed Judge J. A. Moore for justice of the peace. Judge Moore is one of the prosperous and capable colored men of that section. He has given eminent satisfaction in the office in the past and of course will have no trouble in being re-elected. Out in Graham county, the Democrats re-nominated Hon W. L. Sears, their present county attorney. Mr. Sears is one of the ablest lawyers in ```markdown ``` DR. F. O. MILLER, a Big K. P. the state and a leader among his people. He is quite wealthy and an excellent example of the best there is to be found in any race. This makes three colored citizens honored by the Democratic party of the state at the late primaries. The preferment shown the colored people by the Kansas Democrats is not of a local nature or in one isolated case, but extends to all parts of the state—the extreme eastern part, one at the Capitol City and one to the west. They have our best wishes for continued success. THE TOLL OF CRAFS. Joseph Baugh, Innocent Bystander Pays off With His Life. The last toll of a "keg" party and a man with a gun was paid on the 9th inst., when Joseph Baugh, a young man about 30 years of age died at a local hospital. Several weeks ago some forty or fifty men and boys assembled in prohibition Topeka where they pulled off a "keg social" and "crap carnival" and as usual, there was a "gun toter" present. Fate seemed to choose him as the one upon whom trouble was to fall. Hot words passed followed by shots, and Henry Spalding, the intended victim was almost instantly killed, and in the malle, young Baugh an innocent bystander was hit by the wild shooter, who happens to be a boy about 17 years of age. Two dead and a young boy—a lad locked in a prison cell is indeed a dear price for such pastime. However, the way of the transgressor is hard, and those who wander from the beaten path must pay the penalty in their own corn. The funeral of Mr. Baugh was held from the chapel of Stonestreet & Son, and the Rev. B. R. Ross, pastor of Brown's chapel, conducted a short funeral service. It was a touching appeal for right living, and a vivid picture of the Christian way. Mr. Baugh came here four years ago, Louis, Mo, where he 4246 W. Belle Place, St. Louis, Mo.

A great session and an enjoyable time is expected by the delegates and visitors accompanying them to Muskogee, Okla., where the stage is set for the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, which convenes in that city on the 19th to the 21st of August. The editor of The Topeka Plaindealer has visited Muskogee many times for business and pleasure and has traveled extensively in other sections of Oklahoma and the southwest, but we find Muskogee to be one of most modern and thriving, up-to-date cities in the entire country. It has a large Negro population, the great majority of whom are industrious, law abiding citizens, men and women. Some of them are successful and wealthy farmers, others wealthy and thriving merchants and professional men all pulling together for the best interests of their city and for the race. The citizens have made elaborate preparations for the entertainment and comfort of the visitors, who will represent all sections of the Union. Special rates have been made to Muskogee and return by those wishing to attend, from points in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas, the Carolinas and many other sections of the country. The Western Passenger association and lines operating out of New York have made a reduced rate for all eastern delegates to the session. The race has many wealthy members throughout the nation, several men and women who are millionaires, many worth half a million and large numbers worth a hundred thousand dollars or more. The delegates will come from all corners of the country and represent all callings and professions. The proper entertainment of a session such as this will be, is a big undertaking for any city, but knowing Muskogee as we do and being acquainted with her citizens as we are we know that all will be royally entertained and will adjourn singing praises for Muskogee.

Some thirty years ago Mr. Wolff was the proprietor of a retail meat store in Topeka, then he established the packing company which bears his name. He started in a small way, but his personal popularity, sterling integrity and business ability caused the business to grow from the beginning until it has reached its present high place of perfection. The United States government other plants of the kind its jurisdiction inspectors. These inspectors maintains at this plant as it does all inspect the stock on hoof—before it is killed, before packing and follow the carcass through the plant in its journey from the raw material to the perfected product—in all each animal is government inspected some ten or twelve times. The plant in all its departments is daily inspected is each employee for cleanliness. These representatives of the United States government have often stated and still say that this is the cleanest packing plant in the United States. At the present time at this plant, five hundred hogs are killed and cut up each day from 7:30 to 11:30 a.m. Twice each week one hundred and fifty to three hundred cattle are killed and prepared for the consumer, making the out-put of the plant three thousand hogs and three hundred to six hundred cattle per week, exclusive of Sunday. They employ at this time two hundred and fifty to three hundred people, all at good wages. They have some high salaried people —experts in their lines in the establishment. The company has upon the market the celebrated "Banquet Hams," "O. K. Lard," made from pure leaf lard from the beat young pigs, genuine pork lard free from any adulterations for which, for pies and cake and good bread and biscuit there is no substitute. Ham sausage and the finest breakfast bacon are among their products. They also make a lunch cake all of which are made from the purest and best that corn and alfalfa fed animals and most modern "and" sanitary methods will produce. In addition to supplying factory requirements for cooling room purposes and in iceing cars in which meats are shipped, the plant has a daily out-put of seventy-five tons of ice per day which is shipped throughout the state in car lots. They ship to most foreign ports to almost all parts of the United States and have many satisfied customers of long standing in the same localities where other plants exist. Mr, Chas. Wolff, son of the late Mr. Wolff, who established the plant has for many years been connected with his father in the management of the business. During the life time of the father of the institution, Chas. Wolff, the present owner was a hidden power in the concern, attention naturally was not drawn to him, people did not know that he then exerted a great influence in the management of the business and that he was a great factor in the success of the business and its marvelous growth. Since his fther's death he has come to be better known by the public and they can now see that he is well qualified to take up the work where his father left it. It is seldom if ever that a business has continued with such marked success after the death of the one who established it and nursed throughout the years, as has this business. Chas. Wolff is dead, but his business lives as a great monument to one of the greatest financiers and business men in the country. He was the foremost citizen of Kansas and now is recognized as such. Capable, kind, honest and industrious. His family, his employees and the people of Kansas and particularly Topeka lost a fine husband and father, employer and citizen. How fitting it is that his business should continue, continue to grow and prosper and that its management is under his son who bears his name, Charles Wolff. We have recently been through the plant, had an interview with Mr. Wolff and find the bus'ners growing and the plant fast becoming too small—even with the recent additions, for the immense volume of business transacted there each day. We are pleased to note the conversations among the men at the noon hour when not working, relative to Mr. Wolff. All of them like him. He is frequently among them in all departments and knows as he should the conditions of things and the wants of the force throughout. We wish the people of this city and those from other parts of the state would go through this plant and meet Mr. Wolff. Then we know this plant through the plant and uses Wolff is to become a user of their products. It is a significant fact that when any Tepoka citizen visits the Wolff plant from that time on they tell their workers that We want meat and products from the Chas, Wolff Packing Co., that is the best packing house in America, and Mr. Wolff is all right. LAS VEGAS, NEW MEXICO. Miss Eula Black has returned from a few weeks' visit with friends in Alberqueque, and reports a delightful time while in the metropolis of New Mexico.

She has a lovable disposition and is very attractive and made many friends during her short sojourn in our midst. The young men of Las Vegas made a mistake by not saying the proper thing at the proper time, as she is the kind we need so much here. During her stay she was royally entertained by some of our best citizens, among these being Mrs. Gilatrap and Mrs. Duffey, besides a number of friends planned and successfully carried out a surprise party genuine in all particulars, and Mrs. Wade certainly appreciated such kind treatment to a stranger in a strange land.
