Plaindealer

Manager Griffin of The Plainnealer Presents a Coterie of Gentlemen Worthy of the Support of the Voters HON. DUDLEY DOOLITLE Congressman of the Fourth District has made good in the House, and though he is a Democrat, the opposition is satisfied with his action, and a large number of his supporters will come from the ranks of the Republican and Progressive parties. He has been right on every proposition—never forgetting Kansas and her people. Mr. Doolittle is a fine man, representing a fine district and a fine state. There is nothing too big or good for Kansas and the Fourth District, and Doolittle is a man, who will do it without fear or favor. He will succeed himself. MORAN, ALLEN COUNTY. Mr. R. M. Hodges, Democratic candidate for Register of Deeds, has been identified with the business interests of the county for many years and has built up an enviable reputation among the people of this section of the state. He is one of those felt, square, honorable fellows, easy to approach, and a friend of the common people. Mr. Hodges is well qualified for the position he seeks, and worthy of any honor that may be bestowed upon him. In the section of the wind, he will be elected by a splendid majority. HUTCHINSON, RENO COUNTY. Mr. Herbert E. Ramsey, who for the past four years, has served as assistant under County Attorney Edward T. Foote, has been nominated by the Democrate for this responsible office. The selection showed wisdom, as Mr. Ramsey, from a point of experience, is the best fitted man in the county for the place. As a lawyer, Kansas has produced no better, and he stands in the front rank of the profession. He is a deep thinker, vigorous, debater, and sound and convincing in his argument. He is a Reno County boy, and a graduate of the University of Michigan, and is well known to the men and women of the county. He has always been a friend of the colored race, and never loses an opportunity to aid and assist them, and now that he is seeking the suffrage of the voters of Reno County, we believe and feel that the colored people will lend him their support. Personally, he is one of the finest young men we have ever met, and in our rounds over the county, white and black, are long in their praise of him. Mr. Ramsey is a high-class gentleman, and the colored people will make no mistake in supporting him for County Attorney. LA HARPE, ALLEN COUNTY. Mr. Thos. Leighty, Democratic candidate for County Clerk, is one of the best and most favorably known men in this section of the state. He is a splendid business man, and is correctly styled, "The Bookkeeper Candidate for a Bookkeeper Job." Aside from a thorough business education, he comes before the voters with thirteen years experience in bookkeeping, and general office work. Personally, Mr. Leighty is a gentleman from every angle—honest, thoroughly reliable and worthy of any trust that may be placed in him. Don't make a mistake by electing other than Mr. Leighty. Hon. James Meek, present County Attorney, is a Democrat, and one of the best lawyers in the state. He has been honored by his party with the nomination for a second term, and if faithful service, clean honors, methods and strict attention sought for, any slope, the voters will vote party, and elect him. Mr. Meek has shown neither fear nor favor in the administration of his duties and his fairness towards all. and women of every known political faith. Mr. Meek's record is one of the best ever made by any attorney, filling a similar position. He has to his credit, over 90 felony convictions, thirty-nine sent to the penitentiary, nineteen to the State Reformatory, making a total of fifty-eight. There are also thirty odd on parole, who were twenty-one years of age or under. This is exclusive desertion and non-support cases, whiskey and misdemeanors. There are over one hundred, now charged with non-support and desertion, who have been released on parole, and are now supporting their families. Mr. Meek is a man of high integrity, and a strict-believer in the enforcement of all laws, and will leave THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD his bidd at any hour of the night in defense of justice and right. Really, Mr. Meek has made a most efficient officer and we feel that the people, regardless of politics, race, creed or religion are going to show their appreciation of a good official, by supporting him at the November election. Mr. Meek is friendly to the colored race and in our rounds, we find many men and women of the race who are actively supporting him. Mr. Meek is a splendid fellow, and our people will make no mistake by supporting him. TRIBUTE TO JOHN R. FLEMING. Kansas has many grand old men—those who assisted in rocking the cradle of liberty, and are still fighting for the elevation and uplift of mankind. Among these, none stand out more boldly than the R.v. J. D. Botkin, Warden of the Kansas Penitentiary. In a letter to the writer, he has this to say of the death of our bosom friend, Mr. John B Fluming, who passed away at his home in Horizon week before last: Mr. A. D. Griffin, Topik, Kansas. Dear Friend: I was greatly shocked and pained to learn of the untimely death of our mutual friend, John B. Fleming of Horton. He had occasion to visit at the penitentiary a number of times within the past year, his last visit having been made but two or three weeks prior to his death. He was the picture of robust health and vigorous manhood. His unfailing cheerfulness and fine intelligence greatly impressed me. I do not wonder that business was suspended in Horton at the time of his funeral, and that all classes of people gave tribute to his worth as a citizen and friend. The colored race has surely lost a leader, and humanity is the poorer, because of the passing of John B. Fleming. SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURL Physician's Call—Dr. E. A.

Your hair oil has always been a real problem. You will find the nearest approach to your idea of a perfect oil in Majore' Hair Oil.

KANSAS. Highland witnessed one of the most beautiful social function in years, and was the scene of many festivities during the past week, owing to the wedding of Miss Stella Starr to Mr. Omar Pennell. For several days friends and relatives of this popular young lady have been pouring in from neighboring cities. Miss Starr has been a resident of Highland since childhood comes from one of the best families and stands at the very apex of moral standard in the eyes of the community in which she has lived. Her life has been a beautiful one; full of kindness and usefulness to those about her, and her presence will be sadly missed by the household and Sunday school in which she truly was a "star." Mr. Pennell is a progressive Nebraskan and is looked upon as an ideal young man, owning two homes and several acres of land. The wedding ceremony was performed by Rev. J. C. C. Owens and took place on the beautiful lawn at the home of the bride, at noon, Wednesday Aug. 12, in which practically all of the prominent citizens, both colored and white of Highland were in attendance. The guests, numbering fifty, included friends from Sabetha, Wathena, Atchison, Troy, Kansas City, Mo. Music was furnished by Miss Chloe Pyles of Atchison, who played the wedding march and Miss Hazel Miller, of Kansas City, who sang, "Mine." The many gifts were costly and beautiful.

Mr. Walker is a very wealthy farmer living South of the river. Mrs. Alexander, of Topeka, who had been visiting here for sometime, has returned to her home. Mrs. Buchanan, living South of the river gave a birthday party in honor of her daughter, Roxie, it being her eighth birthday. She received many pretty presents. Those present were: Mrs. Alexander, of Topeka, Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Fox, Mrs. Brown. All had a fine time, and hope Mrs. B will give another party soon. Rev. Alfred Miller who has been ill for sometime is much better at present. He preached at the Baptist church. Those present were highly pleased as he spoke from the heart as well as from the Bible. A moonlight social was held on the church lawn by the Methodist church. They are doing a wonderful work toward paying off the debt. There was a large crowd out and all had a good time. Everyone enjoys music while dining. Mrs. Henry Sellers entertained at breakfast for Mrs. Alexander, of Topeka and Mrs. Ramsey. Mr. Warren, of Larned, spent a few days in the city. Rev.

The Household of Ruth gave a picnic and moonlight social Saturday night in Pritchard's park. Everything was fine. Rucker's band furnished music for the occasion. The ladies cleared $22, as almost everything was donated to them. Mrs. Pearl Simpson gave a theatre party in honor of Miss George, of Colorado.

Among those from the Bend that motored over to the celebration were: Mrs. Briscoe and daughter, Miss Lottle, Mrs. Mary Smith and son, Clarence, Mrs. Kittie McDonald, Mrs. Lulu Brown, Mrs. W. H. Bowser and Migs Rebecca, Rev. J. H. Ramey, Mr. and Mrs. Crowder and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Smith, Mr. Frank Robinson and Miss Irma Pope and Misses Edna and Emma Walker. There were many visitors from Pratt, Larned, and Hutchinson. Rev. Thomas read the proclamation; Mayor Scott of St. Johns delivered the address of welcome, which was fine. He let his auditors know that all are brothers and sisters, and had gathered there to celebrate and enjoy themselves. No blood was shed as in our native land, where brothers were arrayed in battle on opposite sides and fathers fought against sons, etc. Mayor Dawson could not be present. The speaker of the day was Prof. Malone, of the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute. Prof. Malone crowned himself with glory. He is a good, plain common sense speaker. He declared that in Kansas everybody works—even father, but in the Southland the blacks work for the whites. What does emancipation mean? Prof. Malone said in a nut shell: Keep the ten commandments.
