Three hundred years have we labored And farmed 'neath the burning sun. And what a small share of the profits We received that our labor won. Twould be very well if the people Would demand a small share of our rights. But, not we are only "niggers," We have only one place on earth, So they brought our ancestors Away from the land of their birth. They did not come here of their own will. For they did not know the way We are left as the guesses of the others. And since we are here we will stay There's always a chance on the ladder That leans against the roof of fame For the man who is not a quitter Theo he's black and can't write his name.

WILSON. Manage. Mrs. W. T. Osborne. It was a great musical treat, and the second of its kind given by local talent, the first being "Queen Esther," presented by Mrs. Osborne with 100 voices last fall. J. Andrew Singleton as "David" was easily the stellar member of the chorus and was closely seconded by others having solo parts. The chorus work was exceptionally good, the harmony and phrasing showing marked careful training, which captivated the audience. Rounds of applause greeted Mrs. Osborne as she appeared to thank the large, appreciative audience, who have supported her in every effort during the past five years. Because of her great work with the public at large she has grown in esteem and popularity and her departure from Omaha will be deeply regretted. The door receipts were $329.50 and the entertainment was for the benefit of St. John A. M. E. church. Mrs. H. Drake of Seattle, Wash., is visiting old friends in Omaha. Mr. A. C.

All the normals seem to have been well conducted and attended and, in most cases, the teachers made the grades desired. The C. M. B conference, which is in session in this city this week, is going on record for doing large things. The intention is to improve the condition of the local station and the district at large. The pastors and the presiding elder are doing as their minds tell them will break the conditions. The M. B. Sunday school is taking on brand new life under the new pastor, Rev. John Leak, who has been here less than two months. The Epworth League which was recently organised at the M. B. church is the most popular service in town Sundays for the young people, and they are attending well. The Orleans hotel, recently constructed and equipped by the Hon. J. C. Johnson is a very popular and useful asset, and is doing a good business under the present management. Very few towns in the West are the possessors of such conveniences. Most of the schools of the county have been contracted for, but there is considerable interest and dispense owing to the shake-up or shift of teachers in many of the schools. Patrons and teachers alike in many of the schools do not understand the reasons for these changes. The lodges are having their usual skimishes and pleasures, and they seem to be in prosperous condition. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Phillips returned from a visit to Oklahoma, Guthrie and Kingdshier. The musical last Saturday evening city Mr. Mason of Kansas City was well attended. He was assisted by local talent Messner, R. D. Blanton and F. A. Spencer equipped themselves spadially. These young men now applauding and will leave in the near future for Lincoln Institute, from which school they plan to graduate. Melissa Carson was in from her school Saturday and appeared on the pro- gram at the musical. M. Arthur Carson is preparing for a trip to her old home in France.
