Wichita and Her People! The "Peerless Princess" is Alive With Business. Historical Society State House Nineteenth Year. No. Today Gov. Capper Wichita and Her The "Peerless Prince With Bus It is a source of pleasure to visit Wichita and meet her active business men. Every man you meet is proud of Wichita and her wonderful growth. She is growing by leaps and bounds. We called upon Mayor Bentley, who has made Wichita one of the best mayors since the city was established, and he says that he is proud of the city and is glad to know that he had a hand in helping her grow. In his thirty-seven years residence in Wichita he has seen it grow from a population of 1,000 to now between 70,000 and 80,000, and says it will only be a short while before she will reach 100,000. During all these years he has had no complaint to make against the treatment he has received at the hands of the good citizens, both poor and rich, old and young, white and colorel; and although there are a few knockers in Wichita, he has lived to see a good many of them run out, some die, some have failed, and others have come to him for assistance. He is a high class Christian gentleman and hears no one ill will. We can say that Wichita is a good city in which to live. The business men are making money and the administration is all right, although there are some wild-eyed people crying for a one-man government, which is an experiment no one in that city has seen tried, but some local forecaster from a small town in Ohio came to Wichita and told of what great things one man could do in controlling a city and how much money the taxpayers could save. This experiment with the taxpayers' money would be a joy for the knockers and non-taxpayers who never stay in one place long enough to save a block. The mayor says he can take his chances with anybody else and if they want it, it is all right, but his friends say that somebody got this up in order to knock out the commission form of government, which was only recently established, because they couldn't run Mayor Bentley and make the commissioners do as they said, which would make a few rich and thousands of others poor. Mayor Bentley is a man who believes in giving everybody an equal show so far as the mayor's office and city administration are concerned. We visited Wichita the past week. The town is growing and the race has opened up an undertaking establishment. Mr. Malonev of Dubu, Col., who just recently came to Wichita, has gone into partnership with Mr. Avery in this business. This is a commendable enterprise and we assure these men that the colored people and ministers are willing to give them their support. The colored people are doing well and progressing. The Makin Eye drug store is still at the old stand, with Mr. Morris as proprietor and James Brown, formerly of Topeka, as pharmacist. It seems that Cupid is gaining headway in Wichita among the young people. One of the first weddings to take place is that of Dr. Grant G. Brown, who will be married in April to Miss Daisy L. Ball of Washington, D. C., who is one of the prominent teachers of that city. Her mother, Mrs. Josephine Ball of Johnstown, Pa., was one of the singers who traveled with the Lowden Jubilee Singers. This couple will be at home to their friends at Twelfth and Indiana, where Dr. Brown has just completed a nice six room hangalow. Dr. Brown is now assistant county physician, which position he has held for some time. He is prominent in lodge work, head of the Y, M, C, A., is a 31st degree Maron and a thorough race man, and his many friends are proud of his good luck in winning such a beautiful and intelligent lady for his future happiness. She not only is an educator, but a lady who will be of great usefulness and service to the community. Mrs. Housiaia Harper of Wichita, Kan., who is president of the Federation of Catholic Women's Clubs and an officer of the Northwestern Federation and Nolle Governance of the Household of Ruth of the state of Kansas, is a woman who is very popular among her sex. She is a highly cultural Christian lady and a worker in whatever organization she may be connected with. Mrs. Harper is engaged in hair culture and receives instructions from the Oxford College at St. Louis, Mo. She is giving a thorough study to the work. We had the pleasure of eating dinner at her home last Sunday and must say that Mrs. Harper knows what to do in the kitchen also. We never enjoy a bed dinner anywhere. Her husband, Mr. J. L. Harper, is a prominent man of the city, is an Odd Fellow. --- and has served as District Grand Master. Mrs. S. R. Anderson, one of Wichita's beautiful widows, is a leading caterer of that city. Our old friend J. R. Johnson is still conducting a successful barber shop at 601 North Main and some of the best barbers in the state are employed by him. Rev. and Mrs. J. H Van Leuate conducting a dry goods notions and mercantile store at 601 North Main street and are making great strides in their business. Goods are being packed all around in the store. They are now preparing to add a line of shoes to their stock. Rev. Van Leu is state missionary of Kansas and is a thorough business man and a high class minister. Mr. Pete Coleman is doing a fine business running a barber shop with soft drinks and cigars in connection. Rev. S. S. Washington, who has been employed for twenty years by the Morton-Simrons Hardware Co. and before coming to Wichita was employed four years at Kingfisher with the Hockaday Hardware Co., is one of Wichita's leading citizens and is district depth of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. He owns a nice residence and next Saturday will lead to the altar one of Wichita's most prominent and beautiful young ladies. Miss Virginia Reel, formerly of St. Louis. They will take a trip to Enid, Oklah., and afterward will be at home to their friends at 1120 North Santa Fe. We predict for them a bright future. We met Mr. Maloney of Pueblo, Col. He joined St. Paul A. M. E. church last Sunday. He will engage in the undertaking business. We met Mr. A. Hockett of Healy, Iane county, Kansas, formerly a resident of Wichita. He moved to Healy seven years ago, where he owns 320 acres of land, of which 110 acres is in wheat. He has 500 chickens, as well as hogs and cattle. He lived in Wichita nineteen years before going west, and still owns a home there. Mr. Hockett was in the city to bring his wife to hospital to undergo an operation, which was very successful. We met our old friend, Rev. W. Simpson Brooks, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church. He had just returned from the bishop's council at Hot Springs, Ark., and reports a nice trip. While away he lectured to large audiences at Hot Springs and Little Rock, Ark., and Wingoner, Okla. The people of Wichita, both white and colored, are in love with Rev. Brooks, as he is a race leader and is doing much to unite the leading forces of the colored people. Rev. Brooks was pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church in St. Louis for five years and preached to congregations numbering all the way from one thousand to three thousand each Sunday. He is still loved by the St. Louis people. In conversation with some of his St. Louis friends, we were told the St. Louis church would be open to him the next conference very and that he must return and finish the great work outlined by him. Mr. Chas. Childs, secretary of the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, says everything is progressing nicely. His father, from Newton, is staying with him for the winter, recuperating. He has been in poor health for some time, but is getting much better. He owns several good pieces of property in Newton and is one of the city's most highly respected citizens. We have the pleasure of eating dinner with our friend, ex-colleague W A Bettis, and family. Mrs. Bettis is certainly a fine housekeeper and knows how to prepare good things to eat. She is an accomplished woman, and they are enjoying life and their honeymoon has just begun. Mr. Bettis is clerk of the office department and there is no man who is a better all-around specialist in that line of work than he speaks Spanish fluently. He is a man who stands up for the rights of his people and can always be found defending the cause of the race. We had the pleasure of eating dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd and grandlaughter, Miss Anna Smith, and Miss Pearl Rhodes, who are two of the leading teachers in the public schools. Mrs. Lloyd is one of the leading ladies of the city and has a host of friends. We enjoyed the luncheon, and anytime the order is given to report to the Lloyd home for dinner the editor of the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 28, 1917 Plaindealer will be ready to answer the call. KANSAS CITY.

OBITUARY OF BROOKS LAND Iola mourns the loss of one of her most respected citizens in the person of Brooks Lane, who succumbed to the dreadful malady of apoplexy. He was loved by both black and white. He leaves a widow, four children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Concerning his death, the Iola Regi- ster has the following to say: The brief announcement in yesterday's Register of the death of Brooks Lane, which occurred at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, was read with genuine grief by hundreds of people in Iola, white as well as black. For this man's friendships were not circumcised by any color line. His own people loved him and were proud of him, but the white man who knew him liked him well and did not hesitate to call themselves his friends. Brooks Lane was born in Jefferson City, Mo., in 1875, and received a good common school education in the schools of that town. He came to Iola in 1900 and got a job as porter in the Pennsylvania hotel, which he fell for many years while that house was under the direction of the Fisher sisters and was the leading hotel in Iola. Later he was employed in a Price $1.50 Per Year. similar capacity at other hotels or at one or the other of the barber shops until some six or eight years ago, when he was made baggageman at the Santa Fe depot. He filled that responsible position with entire satisfaction to the company and to the traveling public for five years, when he resigned it to accept a position as Deputy Grand Chancellor of the colored Knights of Pythias. He filled that position as long as his health would permit him to travel. Something over a year ago he began to show signs of a physical breakdown, and while he rallied from time to time he was not able to shake off the mulady which finally brought on his death. Brooks Lane was a typical man of his race in his kindness of heart and his unfailing good nature. It isn't likely that any of the scores of men who used to meet him every day recall seeing a frown upon his face or hearing an angry or even an unpleasant word from his lips. He was of the type with whom the traveling public, with whom he came so much in contact, like to joke, and he was the subject of many good-natured feats, but he always answered back with a smile, with the peculiar trip of the tongue that was a sort of cross between a lisp and a stammer, and frequently with a humor or a wit that turned the laugh away from himself to the other fellow. He was a sort of big brother to the folks of his own race, particularly to any who were sick or in trouble. And he was not unmindful either of their intellectual progress, for he organized and for several seasons carried on by main force a literary society that he called "The Forum." From the date of its organization until with his ill health it passed out of existence, he was the president of the society and it contributed much to the entertainment and enlightenment of its members. Mr. Lane was married soon after coming to Iola to Caroline Washington, and five children were born to them, of whom four, with their mother, survive. He was a conspicuous and faithful member of the colored Masons and Knights of Pythias, and the members of those two orders will attend in a body the funeral, which will be held at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon and which will be conducted by the Rev. Mr. Garrott of the Second Baptist church. And so will he laid to rest a man who for sixteen years has been a good citizen of Iola and who will be missed for a long time by those who knew him and had pleasure in meeting him—Iola Register.

The meetings were well attended at all times, and the afternoon meetings broke the record for any afternoon religious services ever held in the city. Standing room was at a premium for both the men's and women's meetings. There were nearly fifty who took a stand for Christ, several having joined other churches in the city. Dr. Hill's unique manner of conducting his meetings is the talk of the town, and Shiloh proved entirely too small to accommodate the crowds. Dr. Hill says the beautiful baptizing will take place the first Sunday morning in March. If you have not heard Dr. Hill, do so, Sunday he will deliver two great addresses; morning, "Good Teeth"; evening, "How Do You Spend Your Afternoon?" The Pastor's Aid of Shiloh Baptist church met at the home of Mrs. Buffington, on College avenue and was entertained by Mrs. LeRoy Mack. After the usual routine of business a delightful and nutritious lunch was served. Mrs. Walter Ware, Roy and Mrs. J. T. Hill were guests. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Jessie Clark. The Sewing circle met last Friday, Feb 16, at the parsonage. After the regular routine of business the members held a prayer service, at which time Mrs. Georgia Hall was happily converted. There will be no meeting today owing to the detention of Mrs. Connolly, the president, at 12 o'clock of her husband Miss Mrs. H. Shiloh was a member of the graduating class from the Topper high school last Friday. Commencement exercises were held at the city auditorium. WILLIAM BRADSHAW. Reporter SPECIAL PROGRAM AT CALVARY PREBESTYRIAN A special program was reloaded at Calvary Presbyterian church last Sunday at 1 p.m., entitled "Vacation Day." The participants did justice to the occasion and several many commendations for their efforts. Those who took part are: Mr. Geo. Hugh, superintendent of the Sunday school, "The Need of the Hour"; Mr. G. A. Dughee, clerk of the session, "The Need Abroad"; Mrs. Wm Hatcher, "What Our Local Church Has Done and Can Do"; Mrs. Cora Ross, "How I May Discover My Life Work"; Mrs. McK. Miller, "The Need of the Hour"; Prof. Sawyer, "How I May Help the Young." The ladies are becoming such proficient public speakers that the men have to awake from their lathargy to keep pace with them. This was truly canceled at the meeting. We hope more of the young ladies may become interested in Christian work so as to give us more of their valuable thoughts and suggestions. A next little sum was collected. On Monday, Feb. 19, Pierce's addition witnessed a grand concert given by Mrs. Adolph Hubbard, the energetic worker of our church, under the auspices of the Pastor's Aid society. The house was picked and the conditions were unique. Too much commendation can not be given the friends of Pierce's addition. Newman orchestra and the city people for such a grand success.
