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.

He professed a hope in Christ and united with the Second Baptist church of Wichita, Kansas, about one year ago. He was a devoted husband and loving father; was united in holy wedlock to Lula Marshall, April 25th, 1882 and to this union one child was born, Ida Mae Wilson. He and his wife lived happily together for 25 years. At the time of his death, he was 52 years, 1 month and 5 days old. Realizing the fact that he was passing away to the Great White Throne, he asked his son-in-law to take care of his wife and daughter. He leaves a wife, a daughter, two sisters, one brother, a step son, a son-in-law, daughter-in-law and three grand children to mourn his loss. His last words were, "I am trusting in the Lord." The funeral services were held from the Second Baptist church, Wichita, Kansas, conducted by Elder W. H. Garnett of Newton, Kansas. The music by the choir was touching and consoling. The floral tributes were beautiful and the remains were laid to rest in the Wichita, cemetery. DR. A. K.

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. The happy couple left for Fallings, Neb, for a short wedding trip, where they will return to Sunny Slope farm at Fanning, Kansas, where they will make their future home. HUTCHINSON, KANSAS. The whole city was draped in sadness, when the sad news of Mr. Arthur, Walker was learned, as Mr. Walker was an old settler here, being one of the first to settle in Hutchinson, in its early days. He leaves only one son and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The funeral was held from the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. F. Bray. Mrs. M. C. Rhoten and little son, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Perkerson, 405 13th St. West, have been royally entertained since she has been in our city. Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Kennedy had as their guests in honor of Mrs. M. C. Rhoten of Junction'ard Rev. Payne of Salina the following: Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Rodgers, Mr. and Mrs. F. Bray, Mrs. R. B. Perkerson, Mrs. K. Broadus, Miss Dorothy Bray and Master Ulysses Perkerson. Mr. and Mrs. E. Harris on 10th St., West, entertained at one o'clock dinner in honor of Mrs. Rhoten, also Mrs. Walter Evans, at her beautiful home on E St., West, served a seven o'clock dinner in honor of Mrs. Rhoten, who is always a welcome visitor to our city. We learn that Mr. M. C. Rhoten has re-enlisted with Uncle Sam. That is what it takes to make an army is to have soldiers to stay with them when in war. The superintendent of the A. M. E. church assisted by one of the good brothers, gave the Sunday School a grand reception Saturday evening and one that was enjoyed by all present. Mrs. W. M. Fields is visiting in the city, the guest of Mrs. McCullup. MILTONVALE, KANSAS. MILTONVALE, WANSAE Mrs. M. J.
