Editor Plaindell: After sincere wishes for a "Happy New Year" for yourself, yours, and all my old Kansas friends, this comes to say that, we have pill the last dollar on our mortgage indebtedness here of the A. I. H. church, and had a wage banning last night. When we began about thirteen months ago the campaign for this liquidation, $1750) principal and interest with incurred interest it took about $1650 all told to wipe out, but it is out and our Oakland we write happy, with a downown property, valued at $50,000. The full following closing of Exxon war and general financial treasury, made the job doubly hard, but through Heavenly Master, it has vanished just the same. The semi-centennial California Conference, meets with First church, Oakland in September and we shall now leave no stones - unturned to make it one of the grandest occasions ever held by African Methodist on the Pacific Coast. So far, we have raised more than $5,500 for all purposes and made many additions to our church. We are liking the West very much, but Kansas will always be a real home. Thanking you, remain. Mrs. Felith Etherthi Passed Away in Brooklyn at the Age of 96. Special to The Plaindaler. Special to The Plaindealer. Mrs. Edith Etherly died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Katie Powell, 97 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, New York, Fec. 27, 1916. The deceased lived in Topeca for a number of years as she came to Kansas in the early 60s. She was a member of Saint John A. M. E. church and a tireless worker for the cause of Christ, who she was a charter member of the Bencovolent Society, "Aunt Edie" as she was best known, was a wonderful woman and made friends by the hundreds who wherever she went. To know her was to love her. With old and young it was the same wherever she went. After the death of her husband, Washington Etherly, who died in service of the late William Tweddale, who was the builder of the State Capitol, she went to Brooklyn to live with her daughter, Mrs. Katie Powell, where she has lived the past twenty-five years. In Brooklyn she was the same as in Topeca. She joined the Bridge street A. M. E. church by her letter that she received on leaving Topeca and continued to work for Chist. Funeral services were held at Bridge Street church, Sunday, Dec. 31 and in charge of Revs. Moss and Cole, after which a church society held their services and then the Sons and Daughters of Moses of which she was also a member, held their services. The Rev. H. W. Lacey, who knew "Auntie" in Topeca when a boy, sent his letter of regrets from New Haven, Conn., where he Plaindealer has a charge. The letter was read by the pastor in charge and it was in itself a small sermon. It seemed as if he could not find enough good to tell as he knew her when but a boy and so it was with everyone that knew "Auntie." The services were largely attended and the remains were viewed by hounderds at the residence and also at the church. Interment in Olivet cemetery, Brooklyn. THE MASONS AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 30. The anniversary services of St. John"s day were held at Lincoln Institute on Sunday, December 31st. The program was as follows: Chant—"Still Lord With Thee." Anthem—Choir. Scripture reading—Dr. B. F. Allen. Chant—Lord's Prayer. Jubilee—"Steal Away to Jesus," Choir. Anthem—Choir. Anthony-Clonk Address: Dr. B. F. Allen Vocal solo—"Jerusalem" (Pather) Miss Overstreet. President Allen gave a helpful and inspiring message to all present. The review of Masonry was masterly and ought to provoke increased devotion in the members to the standards and principles of the order. "Finally, my brethren," said the speaker, in the words of the Great Teacher, "A new commandment I give unto you, that you love one another. The destiny of this order is committed to our hands in the great state of Missouri. Let us illustrate its principles by our upright lives." That Capital C.'s Lifes of Mussons is composed of a Lady of eminently sane and eldest man is shown in their selection of President Allen as Worshipful Master. "For the man of intellect at the top of affairs; that is the aim of all constitution." "The man of intellect" says C. In. "is the noble-hearted man with all the true, just, humane and valiant man." This order honored itself in placing President Allen at its head. The sermon and the address on Masory had each a message for the uninitiated, and we are confident that this noble brotherhood is willing to claim, in spirit at least, all true souls, whether weers or not of the mystic symbol. For "ate not all true souls soldiers of the same army, enlisted under heaven's captaincy, to do battle against the same enemy the empire of Darkness and Wramp?" The Toll of Lynching. In view of the widespread discussion of the causes back of the migration of Negroes to the North it is timely to consider the lynchings for the year just closed. I find according to the records kept by Monroe N. Work, head of the division of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute, that in 1916 there have been 54 lynchings. Of those lynched 70 were Negroes and 4 were whites. This is 4 less Negroes and 9 less whites than were put to death in 1915, when the record was 54 Negroes and 13 whites. Included in the record are 3 women. Fourteen, or more than one-fourth of the total lynchings, occurred in the state of Georgia. Of those put to death 42, or 77 per cent of the total, were charged with offenses other than rape. The charges for which the whites were lynched were: Murder, 3; suspected of cutting a woman, 1 (this a Mexican). The charges for which Negroes were put to death were: Attempted rape, 9; killing officers of law, 10; murder, 7; hog stealing, and assisting another to escape, 6; wounding officers of the law, 4; rape, 3; insult 2. For each of the following offenses, one person was put to death: Shapping boy, robbing store, brushing against girl on street, assisting his son accused of rape to escape, entering a house for robbery or some other purpose; defending her son, who, in defense of mother, killed man; fatally wounding man with whom had quarreled, speaking against mob in act of putting man to death, attacking a man and wife with club. Lynchings occurred in the following states: Alabama 1, Arkansas 4, Florida 8, Georgia 11, Kansas 1, Kentucky 2, Louisiana 2, Mississippi 1, Missouri 1, North Carolina 2, Tennessee 3, Texas 9. ROBERT R. MOTON Principal Tuskegee Institute, DEATH OF PROF. FINLEY. Vinita, Okla. On December 29, 1916, God took from this earth a shining star to help illuminate the heavenly mansion, where rest and peace are everlasting. The one of whom we speak is Prof. J. E. Finky, who was principal of the Vinta high school, a teacher of the First Baptist Sunday school and a regular church attendant. In general, he was an educator, a Christian and a moral gentleman, intellectually and socially beneficial to humanity. Therefore we, the teachers, and 1916 friends of the deceased, do enter into your sadness and express our heartfelt sympathies; that our Heavenly Father may comfort you and help you to bear the great loss you have sustained. Keep in mind that God giveth and God taketh away. "God sent his disciples upon earth With songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men And bring them back to Heaven again."

U. at its next meeting and T. I. I. singers will assist in the program. With 3,500 drunks registered on the police blotter last year, the destruction of a car load of confiscated booze by Sheriff Kiene a few days ago, saying nothing of the the liquor captured by the police and the legitimate shipments received by Shawnee county drinkers, makes Senator Reed's statement that Shawnee county alone received 90,000 gallons in one month appear to be a very conservative estimate. We wish to extend our thanks to our dear friends who so kindly contributed the beautiful floral offerings and all others who so kindly helped in our recent bereavement of our beloved husband and father.
