He is a good business man a staunch Republican and has made Leavenworth county an excellent treasurer, and his friends see no reason why he should not be reelected, as he has done much for the party. There are several candidates for county offices in Lyon county, among whom is Mr James K. Flumb, candidate for State Senator. He is a staunch Republican and his election is assured. He was born in Lyon county and is living on the ranch where he was born forty years ago. He is a local officer and the pure blooded Hereford cattle. He is a plain, everyday citizen and the county will have nothing to regret in electing him. Miss Mary K. Lewis is a candidate on the Republican ticket for Register of the county of Lyon county. She served in the office as clerk for several years and knows the work from A to Z, is well qualified along clerical lines and will have the support of almost the entire population of people she is strong for her, as she has always been fair to them. She worked in the office alongside of Miss Anna Stafford and did not object because Miss Stafford was colored. The great contest on in Lyon county this year is for the office of sheriff. Sheriff Wallace Jones, who was appointed a few months ago after the sheriff was killed, is making a fine effort to improve it. It is well known and liked by the people of Emporia and the county, as he has lived there for twenty-five years and farmed up until ten years ago, when he went into other business. Sheriff Jones is a fine man and is fair to everybody and saves he loves to treat every man right, he is a great spiked highly of him and anyone will be found voting for him. While he is a candidate on the Demo rally ticket, he is supported by both parties. Mr. G. L. Miller, who is a candidate for county clerk, is engaged in the real estate business and is a strong member of the Republican party of Lyon county. He went down with the party during the Populist days. He has served one term as county clerk . . . The popular lady in the court house at this time is Miss Nelle Griffith, who is sewing her first term as county treasurer. She is a stunner Republican and one of the most popular members of that county, having served as deputy in that office, she was born at Emery, but we cannot say as to how long, but she is very young and beautiful and carries the profits of "Miss," but it is predicted that before she ends her term from office and time, She has a host of friends among the colored people and her majority will be about 1500. Wichita politics is living up considerably. Mr. D. H. Dunnie, who is the nominee on the Republican ticket for State Senator, is a thorough business man and is engaged in the layman's business. He was the biggest hiker west of the Mississippi and has made his way up the ladder by hard work. His friends say he will be elected by a large majority. Mr. Walter R. Heaton, the drugal and contractor, has been nominated by the Democrat for county commissioner from the Second district of Bedgwick county, which comprises the First and Second wards of Wichita. He is a long-time resident of years and his friends say he will make a splendid commissioner. He owns a drug store at Central and Main streets. Mr. N. N. Bridman, who has been nominated on the Republican ticket for the office of county assessor, has lived in Reddick county over half his life, has served that county in two terms, modified his tenure to Guilin, the war with Spain, and his accounts were always kept straight and there was never a penny short. He has worked for the Republican ticket all his life, is thoroughly acquainted with the business of the county, and the voters will make no money in clearing him. The man of the hour who will be elected by a large majority is Hon. Richard N. Bird, who is a candidate for judge of the district court for Guilin, who will be dominated for Congress. He is a stalwart Republican and a man well versed in law, an upright Christian gentleman, and the citizens of Reddick county are rallying to elect him, irrespective of his party credentials, role in the county. He has the solid colors of the colored voters of that county, as he has been kind to all alike, often giving advice without charging for. Ministers Render an Excellent Account of Their Stewardship During the Past Year---The Dove of Peace Hovered Over Best Meeting in the History of the Kansas Conference. The forty-first annual conference of the A. M. K. church was held at Wichita last week at St. Paul A. M. K. church, of which Rev. Chas Williams is pastor. Bishop Parks presided, and the only two general officers present were Rev. B. F. Watson of the church extension board and Hon. John Hawkins, financial secretary. This conference was presided over by a new bishop, but the same man, Rev. B. P. Parks. It was conceded by all present that this was one of the best conferences ever held in Kansas and that Bishop Parks gave one of the best administrations ever. He was an old man, a kind and everyone went home feeling good and saying that they would uphold his hands, for he is working for the benefit of the A. M. K. church, its ministers and congregations at large. Everything was harmonious throughout the session and the action carried and motions carried or rejected without the bishop showing a preference. He allowed the ministers to use their own judgment and never assumed a dictatorial policy during a meeting. He was present and ministered to all children and he will visit every of them this year and assist as best he can in building up their work. There is just one thing now that is lacking and that is the ministers think he should move into the district where he will be close to the work. Rev. F. C. Taylor, who was chairman of the committee on state of the church, read every strong statement and among some of the statements he advocated was the ownership and control of the preschool's home located at Colorado Springs; that he thought it a backward step that the conference did not aid and support it. Mr. Hawkins, the financial secretary, gave his reason for opposing the appropriation for the home that he far wanted to support the name of the minister and thought it would be too lonely a place for them, but after hearing the sentiment of the conference he has changed his show and gives the correct reason, which is that the General Conference is not able to support so many homes and that when the matter of appropriating for the one at Colorado Springs came up before the financial board, every state wanted to support it, and the state for the General Conference to not then, notwithstanding it had accepted the home at the Norfolk General Conference and paid $25 to acquire the deed to the property, and proceeded in 1912 at Kansas City to appropriate for its support, but someone was wise enough to suggest that the matter be left to the financial board. The other was wise in asking for support and the conference was forced to report to some method to get out of the hole. The Fifth Episcopal district will take charge of the home now, and, as Bishop Parks says, will see that it is kept up to date. The old ministers will have a place to live. Prof. Hawkins and Prof. Keating ad dressed the conference. There was a large crowd in attendance and district officials were present. The two gentlemen are among the leaders of the A. M. K. church and when they talk they say something that is good for the upbuilding of the race. Bishop Parks was accompanied by his We still contend that the salary paid the bishop is too much and that $2000, with the $100 assessments from each conference, will be amply sufficient to pay the bishop's salaries and that the other money should be put into a fund for the support of the old and worn out ministers. We hope that Bishop Parks will pursue the policy outlined at Waltham—that giving everybody a square foot of capital will charge. This has never been done before and the Plaindealer will be glad to chronicle his visits to those small charges from time to time. Of course we are the warden on the will looking after the bishop and are here to criticize men and measures. Writing are the auspicious facts: Folkingin and Diallo, Jr. T.

Martin, who has been located at Tulsa, Oklahoma, for the last five years, made the famous as one of the best lawyers, has moved from Oklahoma and opened up an office at 201 203 Manonic Temple building, Wichita, Kan. He is a young man well versed in law and is a successful practitioner at the bar. He was born in the nineteenth century and was when his parents locating on farm at Lowell, near Batter Spring, Kan., where he was reared and educated in a Quaker school. He graduated from the law department of K. U. in 1904 and was admitted to practice by the Supreme Court of Kansas. He was educated as a teacher. Mr. Martin has always been an active, industrious young man and made friends everywhere he A'DISTINGUISHED KA A man that all Wichita and southwestern Kansas is proud of is Mr. T. J. Crook, who is an Iowaan by birth and was reared on a farm and came west a few years ago. He was a poor boy, but with a determination to work his way through life. He is a farmer, a farmer, but succeeded in inventing a machine for the manufacture of egg, which he sold for $2,600,000. He is Republican Headquarters in Guthrie, Oklahoma Republican Headquarters in Guthrie, Oklahoma --- The serge, while in fistula, Ohio, recently, visited Republican headquarters maintained in the Phloxes building, and found him, K. P. Jordan, one of the press representative colored civilians serving as secretary of the Republican party in "those digging" and assisting in the management of the campaign. We pleased at the conclusion imposed in a man of our race and that is why we believe in the principles of the Republican party—a party of the people, by the people and for the people, Logan county is largely Republican, and in the coming election this county will roll up a large Republican majority, conversation with Mr. Jordan, said Mr. Hughes down would be elected in his county. However, he was anxious at this special time for every colored member of the party to go to the polls and vote. He thought it the duty of every Republican to cast a vote for the nominees of the party, and he is not sleeping on his job in doing his duty victory in the G. II. Mr. Jordan is in the ranks of the party, having sacrificed both time and money to advance the principles of the party. He has never betrayed a trust and the party made no mistake in securing his services as one of the leaders. The election of Mr. Hughes as President means property and he is confident that the colored party will always done, will do his duty in the party. Bigmen have been nominated for every office in the gift of the people in Logan county and we are glad to know that such one is a friend to our race. OTTAWA, KAN Mr. Harrison Baldwin spent a few days in Leavenworth last week visiting his sister and contacting business. After closing a very successful administration at Troy, Kan., theishop saw that the Rev. C. A. Woods deserved promotion, hence he was assigned to the heart to have such an one cast his lot with us. The ordinance of baptism was observed last Sunday by the Third Baptist church. The persons baptized were Misses Althea McIntier and Ruth Hudson, and Mrs. DeWitt Johnson. The three services were well attended and a righteous spirit pre- VIRGINIA. The school population of colored children is 154 and only 73 are enrolled less than 50 per cent, while more than 75 per cent of the white children are in school. Mr. John Wash, one of the most prominent and possessing farmers of Franklin county, favored us with his subscription to the Platbachelor this week. Mr. weak. He first opened an office at Kansas City, Kan., and then at Pittsburgh, where he practiced successfully. At Tulsa he tried some of the most complicated cases in the history of the country, one of which was the famous murder case where the unidentified man was cornered where the sentiment of the entire country was against the prisoner, who was a woman charged with murdering the wife of her sweetheart and she was arrested on a charge of cold blooded murder, a charge of three days' trial Mr. Martin succeeded in taking a court and a court victory and light sentence in one case and acquitted in the last case. Another famous case of his was that of Bela Johnson and Charles McCoy, which it required nine days to try. He is also a victim of stricta and titles. At Tulsa there were several other Kansas who studied along with him at K, U. NSAS BUSINESS MAN. second vice president of the Security State Bank of Wichita and his friends are legion. There is one thing everybody says about Mr. Crook and that is he never forget those who helped him get his patent through, and he will no longer forget the people he helped him. It is a valuable asset to Wichita and is doing much to make the 'Peerless Princess of the Prairies' one of the foremost cities of the West. What is a race man. He will incon- sult himself to patronize Negro busi- ness and enterprise. We were glad to see Mr. Mance Bun- can on the streets after an illness which confined him to his home for several weeks. Mr. Andrew and Mrs. Jessie Pun- dion are on the sick list. Voters, watch the columns of this pa- tent for worthy men to vote for. Their announcements will surely appear in the Plaindealer. Rev. R. A Williams has made an opinion in one of the tours of his shoes to allow more freedom to a big toe inden- ture. He will be a positive help to his members are printing that the frost will get the nail not spire the toe. If you would vote at the general election in November you must register before the 27th of this month. The Plaintiff is much pleased to announce the candidates of Mr. J. F. Burlin of Ottawa township for county treasurer. He is a graduate of Kansas 40 years and Franklin county 16 years. He is a Christian gentleman, has been for several years superintendent of the Bunday school. He is a successful farmer, and has been a successful farmer, and managing the five years he was trustee of his township. He is indeed a fine fellow to come in contact with. So, with such a glowing record, the colored voters will make no mistake in casting their ballots in November at the general election November 7. PORT SCOTT, KANASB.

Manning in charge of this district. Mr. Manning has commercial office in the Central National look building room 104. He is not only a spirited business man but a good fellow to do business with, and once you come in contact with Mr. Manning you always want to meet him again. He is a man whose word can be depended upon and our people who desire protection of us will use him as a minister. Mr. Manning he is a fellow preacher and we place our O, K on him without institution Mobocrats Are Safe! Dudley Lynchers in No Danger of Being Found Out! The mob which skulks around in the dark and commits crime is terribold worse than the crook who sneaks around after dark in search of his victims. The mob is usually composed of a set of cowardly anaconda—midnight murders that dare to break into a house and band was the gang at Olathe that took the law in its hands and lynched Bart Budley, the murderer. The sheriff and county attorney started an investigation and so far it is as fruitless as if it had been started by the lynchers themselves. Such an investigation again it will be the same old "can't out," This was a forgone condone when the great governor of Kansas relatited Sheriff Carroll, whose baby act of cowardice permitted the mob to do its dastardly work and get away. Such an act of cowardice frightened the frighten bravery in case of emergency, for he certainly showed great bravery when he allowed the mob to overpower him. It seems to us that the "overpowering" act was prearranged and the trap all set for the mob to get David and make its own way many times, but gigantic cowardice could have that mob at bey for ten or more houses at least, especially when Sheriff Carroll was in the house and well armed. She could at least have left one of the dastardly cowards in the dust and from that one the rest could have been traced and the name of Kansas must be trailed in the dust along with such commonwealths as Georgia and South Carolina. ```markdown ``` Kans.—Kansas City.—Mo.

The officers can not find anyone who knows anything about this band of cold blood murderers. Down in Georgia the other day lynchers of the Olathe brand murdered a woman because they could not catch her son, who was wanted for some trivial crime. Kan man mobs are as good as Georgia mobs. Both the city and county jails have permitted the abolition of "Kingaroo Court" to operate for years, and now that a man is accidentally killed in one of these mottles two men are arrested and must stand trial for murder. Recently a colored boy was put in the city jail and the rough nocks therein demanded money of him. He refused, and the demons proceeded to beat him up. The boy called for help, and when one of the officers appeared at the bail gun door to see what was going on he said "Give the the————hull." Not many moons ago a nun was incarcerated in that den and while "off duty" one of the prisoners set him afire and burned an officer's garment at that they called fun. Now that one of three fun stains results in death two men are arrested, and probably one, the colored man, must go to the prosecutor. We believe every officer about the city jail just as guilty of Bennett's death as Frost or Campbell.

I did not have it until I had it on; it just adapted itself to the shape of the body and seemed to be a part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in. It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate who suffer from rupture of the Appliance, and I would Rupture Appliance and wear it. They would certainly never regret it. My rupture is now all healed up and pouting ever did it but your Appliance. Whenever the opportunity presents itself I will say a good word for your Appliance, and also the honorable way it is done.

It is absolutely the only Appliance of the kind on the market today, and in it are embodied the principles that inventors have sought after for years. 2. The Appliance for retaining the rupture cannot be thrown out of position. 3. Being an air cushion of soft rubber it allows closely to the body, yet never blisters or causes irritation. 4. Unlike the ordinary so-called pads, used in other trusses, it is not cumbersome or ungrateful. 5. It is smart, soft and pliable, and positively cannot be detected through the clothing. 6. The soft, pliable bands holding the Appliance do not place one the unpleasant sensation of wearing a hair bar. 7. There is nothing about it to go foul, and when it becomes soiled it can be washed without injuring it in the least. 8. There are no metal springs in the Appliance to torture one by cutting and bruising the flesh. 9. All of the material of which the Appliance is made of the very best that money can buy, making it a durable and safe Appliance to wear. 10. My reputation for honesty and fair dealing is so thoroughly established by an experience of over thirty years of dealing with the public, and ample experience of dealing with the public, fair, that there certainly should be no hesitation in sending free coupon today. Bob Bile. The baby's rupture is altogether cured, thanks to your Appliance, and we are so thankful to you if we could only have known of it sooner, our little boy would not have had to suffer near as much as he did.
