For almost an hour he drove home pointed facts and held his scarers to rapt attention by his impressive tone and natural eloquence. Hon. II. I. Monroe, a graduate of the class of 1904 in delivering the Alumni address pointed out a number of graduates who had gone out from the school into the busy walks of life and made good along various lines, prominently among them being Attorney Elisha Scott, the brilliant young lawyer, of this city, whose ability as an attorney-at-law is recognized by the best legal talent of the state.

Ellsha Scott, acting for Mr. Arthur Anderson, a wealthy and highly respected colored farmer living near Topeka, Tuesday afternoon filed suit for $5,530 in the district court against Harry and Jess Mullinix and Mrs. Dva Mullinix, tenants on the Anderson farm. This suit is the echo of the sensational charges made in April by Mrs. Mullinix, who accused Anderson of assault. The former case was thrown out of court for lack of authentic evidence, and Anderson now alleges that the original accusations were the results of a conspiracy to drive him out of the neighborhood. At the same time, his mother, Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, filed a suit asking the district court to annul the lease of Jesse Mullinix, alleging that he is "maliciously destroying the improvements made on her farm." Attorney Scott is one of the leading members of the Shawnee county bar, being a graduate of Washburn Law school, and has been very successful in every case he has defended. He is a Topeka product. Mr. Scott is also attorney for the Kansas Defense Society, in which capacity he is doing big things for his race. The Mullinix suit will be watched with deep interest.

Big Bill Hart, our Tuesday night attraction continues to hold his own, while "The Terror of the Range," the new serial on Wednesday night makes them want to see the next episode. The Western on Thursday are really westerns and not painted scenes. Edith Polo every Friday. "The Lure of the Circus" is a great Triangle feature on Saturday. Thus the full week is rounded out at the Apex. The body of Rev. J. M. Rivers arrived in Topeka yesterday accompanied by his wife Mrs. Annie Rivers. The body will lay in state at the home of Mrs. Rivers' sister, Mrs. Nelson Porter, 1417 Tyler street. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon from the C. M. D. church, of which the deceased was a former pastor. The Plaindealer joins in extending sympathy to the bereaved. Mr. John Williams, of Dover, Okla, has recently come to Topeka to visit his granddaughter, Mrs. Edith Smith, of this city. Mr. Williams has placed the farm in charge of his stepson and intends to spend the summer here. Capt. J. Lee Hicks, of the 92d Division, was a visitor in the city last Sunday to attend the commencement sermon of the Topeka Industrial Institute. Capt. Hicks is the only Kansan to be commissioned a captain from the training school and so conducted himself in France as to gain the confidence and respect of his men, who proudly boast of his ability as an officer. He is a graduate of Western University and resides at Ottawa. The State of Kansas should justly feel proud of Capt. Hicks. Mrs. Dennis Ray was a delightful hostess at a tea last week complimentary to Mrs. Pearl Hagwood, of Kansas City, Mo. The Ray home is well arranged for social affairs and never looked prettier than on this occasion. Irises of purple, white and yellow were most effective in the parlor and dining room. Miss Rubv McKnight in a dainty frock assisted Mrs. Rav receiving her guests who were: Mesdames Pearl Hagwood, Paul Jones, Clarence Davis, John Roundtree, Dick Porter, George K. Williams, Boliver Watkins, L. C. Clark: Misses Emma Ellene Cooper, Emie Burge and Ota Perkins. As a whole, Topeka has a very nice lot of street car conductors, motor men, etc. but in the coming and going of men employed in this department, an occasional rough-neck slips in. One evening this week it crowded out when Andy Harris and wife attempted to board a crowded car. The "con" let several white women board the car through the wrong door and seeing this courteys extended to others, Harris told his wife to do likewise, only to have her meet with a violent shove by the "con," who turned no doubt to give Harris a dose of the same medicine, but was badly fooled. The plucky little hatter treated him to a bloody nose. Now Harris is defendant in an assault case before the court of Toneka. As long as colored people stand on the street corn in the cold and rain until 9:00 o'clock waiting to buy a Jim Crow seat in a ten cent theatre, just no long will white rough necks think they have no rights in public places. They rightfully believe that if you are satisfied with "crow" in the theatre, you have no just how when the same dish is served on street cars. It is a pity to see parents carrying their children to these shows, thus instilling into them that they must ever be grinning, truckling door mats for the white man. Hit whom it may, the colored man who will humiliate his children thus is a menace to not only himself but to the cause for which John Brown gave his life, and the quicker the Lord calls all such cowardly blacks the better conditions will be for the fellow who possesses courage and true manhood. --- Rev. B. F. Foster, of Chicago, and Mrs. James Graham and children, of Detroit, Mich., were called home on account of the illness of their wife and mother, Mrs. Helena Foster, who passed away after their arrival. Card of Thanks—We wish through The Plaindealer to extend our sincere thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during our recent brevement over the loss of our dearly beloved wife and mother. We also thank them for the many beautiful floral tokens of esteem and respect—Rev. B. F. Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Graham, Mr. and Mrs. James Graham, The Rev. G. P. Haywood, pastor of Brown Chapel, A. M. E. church, has been conducting a series of meetings at his church with good results. He was assisted in the effort by a traveling evangelist Brown Chapel has gained by leaps and bounds since the assignment of Rev. Haywood, who is a clean, upright Christian gentleman and by his manly deportment has gained the confidence and respect of not only his own race but the white citizens as well. Backed with a good education and ability to express his thoughts, his sermons have proven attractive and instructive. It would be unfair in this connection were we to fail to mention the Reverend's estimable helpmate. Mrs Haywood is one of those noble women who places Christian duty above selfish motives, and always has an outstretched hand to those who might stray from the path of rectitude and right. She has a sweet disposition and the meek and lowly find comfort and relief in her council. The mission of the Haywoods has been one of uplift and advancement of mankind, and the city is proud to claim them as her own. THE BLUE GOOSE CAFE is the place to get good Meals.

HELENA DUFF FOSTER Pioneer Topeka Woman Passed to a Higher Life Sunday. The community was shocked Sunday when the news went out over the city telling of the death of Mrs. Helena Duff Foster, pioneer Topekan and beloved wife of the Rev. B F Foster, which occurred at the family home, 1910 Boles avenue. Mrs. Foster was a home woman with a kindly disposition and sweet, even temper that endured her to the hearts of a large number of people of both races Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon from the family home at 2:30 o'clock with Mrs. Hardy, a Scientist, officiating. She is an able speaker and paid a rich and well earned tribute to the memory of the deceased. She is survived by her husband and two daughters. Rev. B.
