THE LARGE WHITE BUSINESS FIRMS HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THE RISING SON. VOLUME XI. THE LARGE WHITE B GREAT CONFI RISING This paper has at last succeeded in gaining the confidence of the large white business firms in regards to our advertisements as trade promoters. We have striven for a number of years to convince the various large firms that their money in our paper was well spent. Behind this paper are a set of energetic young men that are endeavoring to build up a great business in order to more thoroughly reach the Negroes. Among the 50,000 Negroes to whom we are catering there are many who do a great deal of buying. We are striving to build up our race on a more economical basis. We are trying to educate them where to buy there goods. To go where they are given the best consideration. For this reason we have made a canvass for ads among the white business firms believing sincerely that the large firms wanted THE FINDING OF POLICE. Commissioner F, F. Rozelle in Re regards the Negro Police. en. A reporter of the Rising Son in a recent interview of Frank Rozzelle Police Commissioner learned that the investigation of the Police Department would in no wise affect the colored Patrolmen. Mr. Rozzelle authorized the following statement: I find in my recent research that the city has a well discipline set of Negro Officers. I say that they are generally efficient and a good set of Policemen; Polite and well behaved. I do not think the Investigation will affect them. F. F. ROZZELLE. Police Commissioner. SEA SHELL FOR POSTAGE. Everyone Admires Sea Shells, And Since My Article in Last Week's Rising Son I have decided to give you a few small shells as everyone does not feel like sending 60 cents for them, even if they do get a large box of them for that amount. Yet it pays for there are so many nice kinds to use in a cemetery. To decorate the graves of our loved ones, but what I am going to say now is, I will send a pretty Boat shell. Monty Canery shell, pretty striped Crown shell and three or four other shells also small teeth of a Florida Alligator all these I will mail anyone free who sends a 2 cent stamp for postage anyone is welcome to send, only remember and give a plainly written address. If anyone wants a nice sea shell drilled and fastened with gold links for watch chain charm I will mail one with the shells for two extra stamps, 4c, or if ask for separate from shells its 5c postage and all, this is actual cost for gold wire etc, and am not anxious at all to dispose of them this way, but if it will help out or oblige some one, its all right to me.

The white firms have acted in sympathy with our efforts. Each day we find new supporters to our paper in the matter of ads and assistance. In a few months this paper will receive its proper recognition from every large firm. Our policy has been to give every one a square deal. Ten years of hard labor proves conclusively that we are honestly striving for what is due us. We feel that every one who has dealt with us has been generally satisfied. Let the good work go on. Each day let us grow stroger. Let us have a centralized object and let us move towards it with more firmformity. Our Motto has been Live and let Live. We are living and dealing. Permanent confidence is our Goal. Towards this Goal we are pursuing our course may the path be lighted by sunshine. LAWRENCE, KANSAS, NEWS. Col. G. T.

He made many friends to the Son, and his trip was a delightful and successful one for business and pleasure. A STATEMENT FROM DR. THEO. SMITH. A few weeks ago the public was informed that I would close out my business and leave Kansas City to Boston. It was my intentions to do so but since then I have decided the matter and have decided to remain here among my many friends and acquaintances my stay of five years here in Kansas City has been pleasant and successful I have nothing but praise for the good people of Kansas City, they are clamish and hospitable. My success is an evidence of their appreciation for the black man in business I am doing more business at present than I have since I have been in Kansas City I have renovated my three stores, increased my seating capacity and still I am in need of space. This goes to show that the statement which came out in the Star three years ago saying the Negro would not patronize one another was absolutely false. WHAT ARE THE PROSPECTS. For the Present Graduating Class Coming From Lincoln High School? The most important question is how many of the present graduating class will find positions when they finish their high course? How are we to solve the Race Problem if the younger generation of Negroes don't have a permanent foundation from which to build solidarity? Of the twenty or more scholars we could safely say not four will receive positions in this city as school teachers. Of the two or more vacancies that will occur in the public schools at the end of the fiscal year they will be filled by outside teachers, and not one will be given to a home girl. The red tape proposition is that you will have to pass the examination, if you don't you can receive an appointment. The examination proposition is only a form of red tape to exclude home talent. Why do we say this? Well for this reason when imported teachers come to our city they take the examination, fail and then receive an appointment and are given six months and sometimes a year in which to pass special studies. Why is this? Because there is an undercurrent at work bringing it about. We know the various things resorted to in order to rob them of their rights as home girls and boys. We wish some day to see this weak system adjusted. The time to begin is at the present. A Home Teacher and a subscriber to the Paper. HOME TEACHER COUNTY MARSHAL HESLIP HA PROVEN TRUE TO HIS WORD.

The lives of many city missionaries read like romance. Such a life has been that of Rev. W. H. Collins, evangelist of the United Christian Workers City Mission church, Bronx, N. Y. Left as a waft at a London door, some one took him in. Soon homeless a gain, as a more hot has been that of Rev. W. H. Colinson, evangelist of the United Christian Workers City Mission church, Bronx, N. Y. Left as a wait at a London door, some one took him, in. Soon homeless a gain, as a mere boy he was taken on a Evangelist W. H. Colinson. fishing smack to the North sea fishing grounds, and he helped bring the harvests of the ocean to the famous Billingsgate market in London. Here he heard D. L. Moody and was converted. He had the aid and sympathy of Rev C. H. Spurgeon, and soon was preaching the Word to fishermen in the market and those engaged in deep sea fishing in the North sea. He there witnessed the spiritual transformation of many lives. He had greater influence with the men because he had learned "to scrub the cabin, make puddings, mend nets, spice the ropes, steer the ship and command a vessel." His first pulpit was a three-legged table in a barn, where he spoke to 40 farmers on "Being Saved by Grace." His best loved work was among the fisherman, and he was the first recipient of a silk "Bethel Flax" from the late Baroness Burdett Counts. Like many seafaring men, the captain likes change of scene, but is ever ready to engage in hard service on sea or land for the lost. He followed for awhile John Sampson, the "Cornwall preacher," and was a coworker with Gipsy Smith. At Steelton, Pa., he started a mission among 3,000 steel workers and held "shop" meetings. He recently held Gospel services at the Union church, Corona, N. Y. His earnest addresses abounded in nautical terms and pictures, adding zest to his exhortations, says the Christian Herald. At the City Mission church in the Pronx the Gospel his preached, the sick are visited and situations are secured for the unemployed. Mrs. Collinson, his "first mate," helps in his Gospel services and his daughter Eva, the "second mate" of the Gospel ship, is also the musician. Together they hold meetings on board ship, in satbouts, barber shops and factories. Their work has been supported by voluntary gifts and has been a means of blessing to many. Successful Missionary Labor For several years the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions has been doing a missionary work in Natur, an island separate from all other groups in the Pacific ocean. Its people seem to be hardy and vigorous, numbering somewhat less than 2,000 souls at the present time. A German missionary, Rev De la Porte, has labored there since 1899 under the American board with extraordinary vigor and success. He has gathered converts in numbers that paralleled, it is said, the earliest beginnings at Jerusalem. From the beginning Mr. De la Porte labored at translation work. In 1902 he translated part of the New Testament; this was printed on the missionary press at Kasale in the Caroline islands, 500 copies in all. These were distributed among the people in 1903, and Mr. De la Porte writes: "The living Word of God has since then worked mightily in the hearts of this little nation." Inauguration of Professor Geer Rev. Curtis Manning Geer, Ph. D., has been inaugurated as professor of Germanic and Western Church History in the Hartford Theological seminar. For the past five years Professor Geer has taught in this department with the rank of associate professor, having previous to that time been professor of history and economics in Bates college, and having held pastorates at East Windsor, Conn. and Danvers, Mass. A Queen's Influence The queen of Holland has initiated a daily religious service at the palace in The Hague, which is open to every member of her household, from the grand chamberlain to the butter. The queen takes her seat at a small table in the dining room and begins by reading a psalm, which is afterward sung by all present. She then reads a chapter from the Scriptures, and the ceremony closes with the singing of a hymn. High Praise. "The Spectator" (London), describes the Late Principal Rainy of the Free church of Scotland, who died recently at the age of 81, as "the conspicuous man in modern Scotland" and "the greatest Scottish ecclesiastical statesman since Chamers." High praise, but deserved. Received with Honor. It is said that at the India missionary jubilee no two persons were received with greater honor than Dr. J. H. Humphrey, who baptized the first native converts, and Mrs. William Butler, wife of the founder of Methodism in India. KANSAS HAPPENINGS --- A. Tight "Lid" for Wichita. A Tight "Lid" for Wichita. By a vote of eight to three, the city council of Wichita has passed a drastic prohibitory ordinance. The ordinance is patterned after the state law and makes it a disdemeanor punishable by a fine of from $100 to $500 and thirty days to six months in jail, with all costs of suit, for anyone to "sell, barter or give away intoxicating liquors or any liquors that will produce intoxication." All clubs or organizations of any kind are included in the ordinance and clubrooms are especially mentioned. Owners of buildings who premit liquor to be sold are also included in the ordinance as are persons having packages of liquor for delivery. The measure was promised by Mayor Graham in his anti-election speeches. Most all the sections in the ordinance have been approved by the state supreme court. The measure was drawn by the city attorney at the request of Mayor Graham. Coburn's Perpetual Smile. Secretary F. D. Colburn of the agricultural department wears a smiling face these days. Every time he heard anything good about the condition of the Kansas crops or about some other indication of prosperity he smiles and the good things come so rapidly that the smile never fades. Here is a story that pleased Mr. Colburn: Eight years ago W. J. Messick went to Osborne county and purchased 240 acres of land, paying $2,500 for it. He has farmed it for eight years and in that time has made enough off it to buy the adjoining section for $6,500. This latter purchase was made four years ago. The section of land is now valued at $23,000 and Mr. Messick has sold the original 240 acres to Sam W. Cox of Paola for $11,000. Labor Bureau Appointments. W. L. A. Johnson, commissitor of the bureau of labor and industry and factory inspections of Kansas, has made the following appointments: C. E. Bromlette, United Mine Workers of America, Mineral, deputy factory inspector; Thomas P. Menton, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, Coffeyville, statistical clerk; L. R. Boyce, Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, Kansas City, Kan., stenographer and clerk. More Time to School Methods. A new course of study for the work in the teachers' institutes for this year has been issued by E. T. Fairchild, state superintendent. The course has been entirely rewritten and is on a new plan. Less of the teachers' time in the institutes will be devoted to purely academic work and more time to the practical methods of presenting different subjects to the school children. F. A. A. General Council in Session. P. A. A. General Chamber in Session The general council of the Fraternal Aid association in session at Lawrence elected the following officers: H. E. Don Carlos of Lawrence general president; M. Bates of California, general vice president; T. J. Edmons, Lawrence, general secretary; T. J. Sweeney, Lawrence, general treasurer, and Dr. Priest, Concordia, Kas., general medical examiner. A Good Motto. "Stop kicking. You can't saw wood with a hammer," is a motto that adorns the windows of a great many business houses in Leavenworth. It is a good one to put into application daily, but as the Times pertinently suggests, merely having it on the window in a conspicuous place won't help any. H. L. Bone in Colorado Suits. H. J. Bone in Colorado State. Harry J. Bone, United States district attorney for Kansas, has been appointed special attorney for the government in the mining fraud cases in Colorado. The cases involve several men recently indicted in Colorado do for using the mails to further some alleged fraudulent mining schemes. The district attorney for Colorado is ill and it was necessary to select some other man to prosecute the cases. Mr. Bone was selected on account of his record in the land fraud cases in Kansas and his work preceding the indictments of H. H. Tucker Jr., secretary of the Uncle Sam Oil company. May Create a New County. Kansas may have another county created within its borders during the coming two years. A report is out that this projected new political division will be composed of a slice of the eastern side of Pottawatomie and the western side of Jackson county. It is felt that this would make one of the rich and prosperous counties of the state. A Leavenworth County "Joint" Case. A suit was filed in the district court at Leavenworth to prohibit "Abe" Lash running a joint in Tonganoxie in Leavenworth county. It is said the county officials are preparing to file suits against jointkeepers at Lansing and other places in the county. New Dental Examiner. G. F. Ambrose of El Derado has been appointed a member of the State Board of Dental Examiners to succeed M. F. Hults of Hutchinson. OUR FASHION LETTER THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY For Spring Wear. What a blessing the new rucked sleeves are for girls with thin arms! Given the right description of lace, or chiffon, and moderate care in the matter of construction, these sleeves cannot fail to be becoming to the arms—and hands! Yes, very specially the latter, because sleeves which reach well over the wrists have a happy way of making the hands look wonderfully small and white. Evening gowns, for quiet parties, of black mousselline de sole, look fascinating when made in the pinafore style, with the bodice drawn up over a transparent blouse of ivory point d'Esprit. This blouse should be cut a little low at the neck, with bebe ribbons run through a soft tucker of chiffon, and the sleeves should be finely rucked from shoulder to wrist. A gown of this genre, with a waistband of Sevres blue mirror velvet and a touch of blue at the breast, could not fail to look charming, and it would be exactly the rich thing for dinner wear at one of the big hotels or restaurants. It is important to realize that tucked sleeves should fit the arms tightly, or practically so; in fact, the pressure of the material on the arms should be sufficiently insistent to keep 1 An Original and Pretty Design. the tiny folds in place. In all cases tucked sleeves should be cut "on the cross," and it is a good idea to have half a dozen very small hooks and eyes on the under seam near the wrist. Of the making of fringes, and of the wearing of same, there is no end! All the new linen frocks are trimmed with fringes, and also with many tazels, and superb fringes are posed on evening gowns of crepe de chine, velvet and taffetas. With these fringes bias folds of material are very much used; indeed bias folds are playing an important part in the fashions of the hour. Frequently they are of the same material as the skirt, but sometimes they are of velvet and of satin in a slightly deeper tone of color. Graduated bands of velvet ribbon run the bias folds very close, as a skirt trimming, but the ribbons belong, almost exclusively, to the world of robes d'intérieur, whilst bias folds are lavishly used on dinner gowns. Quite the most attractive of the patticoats worn with the blue serge tailor-made frocks are black and white striped satin, the lines perpendicular on the skirt and horizontally placed on the flounce, which is either kilted or plainly hemmed or decorated with medallions of black lace. Another good silk petticoat is made in shot silk with double-kilted flounces cut into Vandeyk at the edge, no other trimming being vouchsafed. These, too, are particularly suited to the serge dress. For the volle gown I would recommend the glace petticoat. It has a hand-embroidered lawn frill put on at the top with a beading threaded with ribbon. For the economical I commend the petticoat of double-width alpaca. In black and white check, with a shaped flounce trimmed with three graduated rows of black velvet ribbon. It is necessary to buy the very best quality alpaca and then I would guarantee its wear for three seasons. The same virtue, I regret to say, cannot be accredited to any known make of glace silk, nor accorded to any tried brocade or stripes. And, writing the word stripes, I am tempted to insist again upon their amazing popularity. Not alone are there striped tweeds and striped cashmeres and striped silks, but there are striped volles and crepe de chines these last looking their best in black when the stripe is of satin, and is really a new edition of our old friend the satin-striped grenadine, but exhibiting much improvement from the softer fabric with which it is allied. It cannot be truly said that the fashions lean amiably towards the desires of the thrifty, whom I would advise to remain faithful to the tailor-made cloth coat and skirt until the summer is quite established, when under clever home directions plain volles may be successfully treated in combination with vest and undersleeves of ecru figured net, special trouble being taken to secure the wide armhole of Japanese style, which is, indeed, easy enough to achieve, and is like to enjoy a continued run of popularity. As I have previously said, it is not difficult to manipulate, and will connec in its hanging folds a few of those defects without which the amateur made costume is never quite complete Minor matters which are just now receiving special attention are belts and buckles, the newest of the latter being of filigree gold raised almost in dome shape and decorated in the center with a single large jewel, amethyst, or olivine for choice. The belts are of leather of all colors, soft or shiny of surface, and the elastic belts still intrude in every conceivable color, the newest elastic being of gold and of gold and silver interwoven. The plaid patent leather belt is perhaps more novel than attractive, and to the really slim waist no belt is more becoming than that contrived from a wide piece of ribbon planned into the center of the back and drawn tightly through a chased silver or gold buckle in the front. But these are particularly suited to the volle or silk frock, the cloth coat and skirt of our immediate desires call for sterner stuff, and for these leather and kid I would most highly recommend, holding a special brief for those which are shaped slightly in the center at the back and possess only one buckle, that one buckle being set in the front. The frog, in trying to be as big as the ox, had inflated itself until it burst, substantially as related in the standard historical works. "I'm!" exclaimed the ox. "That's the worst case of exaggerated ego I ever saw." Meanwhile the frog, as such, had disappeared, and being unable to collect itself it attempted no reply.—Chicago Tribune.

There was (1) a humble slave family; (2) a little basket of bulrushes; (3) a little girl; (4) a baby's tears; (5) Pharaoh's own daughter; (6) the child's own mother; (7) a royal court. All of these were brought together at just the right time, in just the right way. "This lesson is one of the best illustrations of a perfect combination of the best co-working of human effort and divine providences." The Court Life of Moses.—"The favor of the king's only daughter and presumptive heir made his life in these early years one long, unclouded summer morning, for all that wealth and power could command were at his service."—Gelkle. "He would live chiefly in the apartments of his mother, which would probably be a portion of the royal residence, and would be furnished with every luxury."—Rawlinson. Yet life at Pharaoh's court, "amid all its attractions and advantages, must have had some drawbacks. Egyptian youths and Egyptian courtiers could not be altogether cordial to the Hebrew boy, who, as the grandson of Pharaoh, enjoyed so exalted a position, and received such eminent attention."—Blaikle. The School Life of Moses.—Egypt then had two great universities, at Heliopolis and Hermopolis, and Moses is said to have studied in the former, which was situated about 20 miles north of Memphis. It was "the Oxford of Ancient Egypt," as Alexandra was in later times. Herodotus went thither to gather information for his travels, and Plato studied there for 13 years. "Shady cloisters opened into lecture rooms for the students, and quiet houses for the professors and priests, in their many grades and offices; there being room for all in the corridors of the huge pile."—Gekke. A splendid library would be at his disposal. The library of the Rameseum at Thebes—a structure built by Rameses II.—contained 20,000 books. The studies of the young man would include the two forms of difficult Egyptian writing, arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry to some extent, astronomy, music, both vocal and instrumental, painting and architecture, medicine and chemistry, history and law, poetry and other branches of literature, and especially theology, extending to its highest form, "the philosophy of symbolism," in which the Egyptian religion, gross as it was, came nearest to the Hebrew. As a member of the royal family, Moses was no doubt received into the priestly caste, and knew all their secret lore. The Military Life of Moses.—Stephen tells us (Acts 7:22) that Moses was "mighty in words and in deeds." The words "may have meant such power of composition as appears in the hymn by the Red sea, and in the magnificent valediction to his people." —Expositor's Bible. As to the deeds, after completing his university course, Moses might have become a hanger-on at the court, or obtained some civil appointment and sought to climb the official ladder, or entered the literary life, or devoted himself to the priesthood, or become a soldier. The tradition that he chose the last-named calling is in accordance with the probabilities, and explains his great military ability displayed in the exodus and afterwards. The Patriot's First Attempt.—It was natural that Moses' first attempt at aiding his people should be a blunder. Even the greatest men make mistakes, and prove their greatness by their ability to learn from their mistakes. The Patriot's Second Attempt.—"To smite the oppressor was not enough Moses must unite and discipline the oppressed. And this was his next effort."—Hanna. "The treatment he received from the Hebrews he sought to aid showed that they were by no means ripe for freedom or nationality."—Townsend. Lessons in Patience.—Ex. 2:16-25. Moses remained in Midian for the second of the three 40-year periods into which his life is divided. Practical Points. "Every man's life is a plan of God." The life of each scholar in your class has been planned by God as carefully and lovingly as that of Moses. The best start in life is that afforded by a godly home. Not the richest family in Egypt gave their son a better outfit for life than Moses received from his slave parents. Every child is a possible prince. The chain of providence is always ready, when hands are ready to seize it. Desert experiences come to all times of waiting, of apparent failure Pretty Phrase That Was Most Woo- fully Misunderstood. That the effect of a choice and appropriate phrase is sometimes lost and oftimes woefully misinterpreted is well illustrated in an incident connected with the death of a Virginia lawyer. During the man's illness the wires were disconnected which attached the bell to the old-fashioned pull knob on the front door. A messenger boy came to the house one morning and began pulling at the bell. There was no response. He continued to jerk the ancient knob vigorously. A white-haired gentleman finally appeared, who raised his hand warningly and said: "My boy, the silver cord has been severed." "Is that so?" exploded the boy. "From the way it acted I thought the whole darn thing was busted."—N. Y. Times. Desert Lands Made Fertile. According to official figures, since the reclamation law was enacted by congress in 1902, eight towns have been built and 10,000 people have settled on what were desert lands. One hundred miles of branch railways have been built, 1,267 miles of canals have been dug, many of which carry whole rivers, and 47 tunnels have been excavated. It is estimated that the territory embraced in what is known as the arid regions of the Unit Ed States covers 600,000,000 acres, of which about 60,000,000 acres are subject to irrigation and can be converted into farms as productive as lands in the most favored sections. - Deafness Cannot Be Cured Deafness cannot be cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the disased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Chinese money is traced back three thousand years before Christ. One emperor objected to copper coinage, gathered a whole issue together, buried it deep into the earth, and threw on top the workmen employed in digging the pit. The pu and tao currencies were struck in the form of scraps of cloth of knives for barter, and were in existence from about the seventh to the second century before Christ. The commonest of Chinese money is the cash, a round metal disk with a square hole in the center; a thousand of these are worth barely 75 cents. One's cook in China goes to market with great strings of this heavy money round neck, shoulders, and waist, but even when weighted with as much as a strong man can carry, very little of our money is represented. On the Russo-Chinese borders green tea pressed into bricks has been the money of the country for a thousand years.—Sunday Magazine. ITCHING RASH 18 YEARS.

The doctor said that she would outgrow it, and it did get somewhat better until she was about fifteen years old, and after that she could get nothing that would drive it away. She was always applying something in the way of salves. It troubled her behind the knees, opposite the elbows, back of the neck and ears, under the chin, and then it got on the face. That was about three years ago. She took treatment with a specialist and seemed to get worse all the time. We were then advised to try the Cuticura Remedies, and now I don't see any breaking out. M.

NO PATENT. NO FEE FOR OUR SERVICES Don't Poison Baby. FORTY YEARS AGO almost every mother thought her child must have PAREGORIC or laudanum to make it sleep. These drugs will produce sleep, and A FEW DROPS TOO MANY will produce the SLEEP FROM WHICH THERE IS NO WAKING. Many are the children who have been killed or whose health has been ruined for life by paregoric, laudanum and morphine, each of which is a narcotic product of opium. Druggists are prohibited from selling either of the narcotics named to children at all, or to anybody without labelling them "poison." The definition of "narcotic" is: "A medicine which relieves pain and produces sleep, but which in poisonous doses produces stupor, coma, convulsions and death." The taste and smell of medicines containing opium are disguised, and sold under the names of "Drops," "Cordials," "Soothing Syrups," etc. You should not permit any medicine to be given to your children without you or your physician know of what it is composed.

Let us see if some of our home girls gets positions as school teachers this fall. Will the Negroes by paying their subscriptions help this paper to get out a good issue every week. The Son has had a talk with a few of the parents of our educated young men and women, let more of them come. Out of the 72 or more teachers in the 12 Negro Public Schools there are about 43 Imported teachers and 29 Home Talents. A representative of the Son will visit several of the schools in order to ascertain the methods and conditions of the schools in general. The Hon. H. M. Beardsley is still pursuing his business—like go ahead policy and the Negro voters don't concern him and he is letting them alone. The Forum meets every Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock at Allen Chapel and subjects of vital importance to the race are discussed by some of the best minds. You are invited to attend the meetings. Prof. Foster, President, Well the Lily-White Republican leaders have organized a Taft for President Club. Now go on some of you Negro voters try to join and then when they refuse you, follow along anyway and jump in the Band Wagon. This paper is for home talent. We don't know anything at all of the past record of foreign imported teachers. Our home girls in every place where they have been given a chance have made splendid records as teachers. A representative of the Son visited the office of Drs. Perry and Thompson and found everything en-tee. They have a swell 6 suited room office and everything up-to-date. Their new office at 1512 E. 18th St., takes ranks with any down town white Physician's office. Besides their newly polished medical instruments prepared for surgery they have electrical batteries, internumeries in every room. The new and elaborately installed Inhabitat represents the principal feature of the place. This instrument established in this city will bring joy and comfort to every colored home. The working order of its intricate machinery shall be explained in a later publication of this paper. Every room is filled with various articles and instruments used for the Promotion of ones health. A certain Political Manipulator high up in the circle of Politics made this statement. "There is no deficiency in our present Negro school system." A year ago he made this statement. "Half of our present school teachers should be replaced." Now just what statement do you want us to quote and quote correctly? Are you playing to the grand stand for public approval? Did you not say that a certain imported teacher at the Lincoln School has not passed an examination, but by virtue of two of the Principals worrying the members of the Board she was allowed to be retained? Now just what did you say? Did you not also, help to retain a teacher after her unlady like actions had been exposed two years previously? Were you not on a delegation to wait on the Board in favor of Home Teachers? Are you vaccinating or are you standing on your past record? Let us have the facts? --- THE AWAKENING OF MAYOR BEARDSLEY. The manager of this paper after his efficient work for H. M. Beardsley helping him to secure his nomination, and final election, and for his good work he was refused a job at the City Hall. Was ever ingratitude so greatly exhausted. Mr. Beardsley appointed a few Negroes to office, believing they were the real Negro leaders who delivered the goods in the last election. By some political chicanery he was thus deceived. In six more months he will begin to line up his force to secure a renomination and then he will find out the real Negro leaders. They are not under your command. You have been deceived. The Negro leaders are in the trenches. They are prepared to fight and fight every inch of the ground. Our gups cleaned, cooked, and primed. The county officials gave us a deadly slap in the face and a dagger in the side. The white man must understand that when in a political campaign you must meet the Negro on the square. What the Negroes have long desired was a strong political organ and an eloquent orator, who will not deceive them, but like Moses lead them out of the Wilderness of Ignorance. He is thrice armed, whose cause is just. Thus the cause of the Negro is a righteous one, to be brought out on Ethical principles. At the proper time the Negro Moses will appear. Great waves of prejudice are sweeping over this country against the Negro. No place can he find rest. Every door seems closed against him. Men whom he thought were his friends have turned against him. A race to become a strong nation must go through suffering and disappointments. Christ carried the Cross. Can the Negro bravely breast the wave of disappointment. In this city among the present Negroes no one has proved himself a covert leader for the whole race, only leaders for selfish purposes. May God in his distribution of right create the right kind leader. We the Negroes all feel he is here among us. Watch developments and see if he doesn't steer the Negro Ship heavy laden with troubles to a Havenly Rest. Watch in our opposition to the administration and see if the weak pitted against the strong don't raise up a David to fight Golish. (Time will tell.) Let the position of the Son be clearly understood in regards to the teachers of the Public Schools. We know in the Importation of High School Teachers in various cases we need foreign teachers to raise the standard of the various teaching departments. These teachers have in every instance the value of higher education. Kansas City may feel justly proud of such able teachers at the head of different departments in our New High School, Prof. G. N. Grisham as the eminent head takes rank with the foremost educators of the country, such as Dr. Bowen, Dr. Du Bois, and Dr. Washington, closely following him is the ever ready Miss Anna Jones, head of the English Department, Prof. W. H. Dawley, head of history department, Prof Cook of mathematics, Miss Cross, teacher, of German, D. N. Crosswaite, Chemistry, Civil Government and Hygiene, Prof. Walden of Physics, Miss Susportas assistant in English, Miss Bridle, Domestic Research. These are some of the thoroughly prepared teachers of the High School. Under such instructors are our graduate prepared to teach school or are they being prepared to roam the streets? This is our position in regards to the grade schools. Women are mighty smart to be able to wear their clothes so as to make a man guess whether they are dressed or not.

Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Merrimac fame, is going to play some practical politics for a change. The former naval officer and advance agent of a billion dollar navy is thought by many to have become a rather astute politician. His latest is the development of a scheme that promises to make no end of trouble for the scientific departments of the government. The captain has borrowed from the agricultural department an expert on road building, one on soils, one on cotton growing and one on forestry. From the post office department he has obtained the loan of a rural free delivery expert. With this menace and accompanied by his wife, the captain is going to make a month's tour of his Alabama district. There will be a careful booking of the aggregation and where people wish its advice they will get lectures and practical demonstrations A GRAND total of 13,319 new governmental positions was created by congress at its last session, with $8,854,759 in salaries. Most of the increase is taken up by an addition of 6,439 coast and field artillerymen, 1,541 seamen and 4,770 additional employees in the postal service, leaving a net increase of but 569 for all other branches of the public service. All the various acts of the last session created 18,993 new government positions, but at the same time 5,674 places were abolished. Final disclosures show the total appropriations at the last session of congress were $629,798,143,890. In addition authority was given to make contracts augmenting $67,934,349. In this way the total expenditures allowed fell but little below the billion-dollar mark, being $88,732,492. The total appropriations by the Fifty ninth congress were $1,890,387, 328,963. Those of the second session CARNEGIE LABORATORY TO BUILD VOLCANO FACTORY THE most dangerous thing in Washington is the new geophysical laboratory constructed with funds of the Carnegie institution. It is dedicated to making rocks, and for this purpose it proposes to reproduce pent-up volcanes, and the frightful pressures and heat of the earth's interior. It is the only building in the world devoted exclusively to high pressures and temperatures. "We don't know just what we will 'be able to do,'" said Prof. Arthur L. Day. "We shall have to deal in very high temperatures and pressures, and it may end by our all being blown up. But if we avoid that we hope to discover some interesting things about the crust of the earth." The new geophysical laboratory has been located at a safe distance from residential Washington. It is 1,000 feet from the nearest car line. "PETE" the famous bull terrier of the White House, has at last been vanquished. He met his Waterloo the other morning in the jaws of an unknown white bulldog, who made a meal of Pete's front leg and shoulder with a good bite out of his ear for a chaser. The secretary of the interior will resume his pathmaking across the White House lawn. M. Jusserand will cease practicing tree climbing, the chief forester of the government has dismissed his athletic trainer and has announced he will now take his morning sprints through Rock Creek park, and a general lock of relief is noticeable in the demeanor of every member of the president's official family as well as his kitchen cabinet. Among the newspaper correspondents there is general rejoicing and they swarmed over the White House grounds to their heart's content all day and long into the night. But in the president's household there is much sorrow over Pete's distress. "Pete" was put under the ban because he chewed up a navy department clerk, and he was in disgrace generally. Next this feeling gave way to one of genuine sympathy for "Pete," who surely needs friends now if he ever did. in all the subjects the experts represent, Capt. Hobson will do the hands shaking and political solidification act. Alabama people happen to know that Mrs. Hobson is one of the best women politicians in Washington. She drove with him over every county in the district. They got acquainted with everybody, explained their desire to go to congress, convinced folks that they were justified in it, and when primary day came bore off the nomination in triumph over Mr. Bankhead, who had held the seat for 20 years. Other representatives are casting envious eyes on this Hobson programme and are beginning to prepare applications for the use of government experts. If the departments ablow the enterprise to be generally copied there will be a dearth of experts and the scientific departments have to conscript them before long. MILLIONS APPROPRIATED BY THE LATE CONGRESS exceed those of the first by $41,208, 958. During the last session 16,434 salaries were increased at an annual cost of $2,949,352. This includes the vice president, speaker, nine cabinet officers, 90 senators, 236 representatives and 34 employees of congress. Contracts were authorized for public works requiring future appropriations augmenting $67,934,349, of which almost $16,000,000 is for battleships, torpedo boats, etc. The largest appropriation carried by any one measure was $121,901,193 by the post-office bill. The naval bill carried $88,958,507, the army bill $78,614,582 and the pension bill $143,143,000. A comparison of the total appropriations made at the second session of the Fifty-ninth congress for 1908, $920,798,144, with those of the first session of that congress for 1907, $879,589,185, shows an increase of $41,208,359. MEDICAL INSTITUTE and there is only one house within that range. Other reasons than the danger of explosions led to its isolated location. It was necessary to remove it from the danger of electrical and jarring influences. In order further to do this, the building is constructed on specially insulated foundations, and with no connection between its walls and floor. The walls are anchored in deep sand, and the floor of each room is a cement island set in a lake of dry sand. This branch of Mr. Carnegie's institution has already solved one problem. It has made quartz glass. Its second problem is still unsolved; namely, what is Portland cement, and why? The new laboratory, with its volcano machines, will begin to do business next month. BULLDOG "PETE" AT LAST MEETS HIS WATERLOO "Pete" was allowed to take some exercise early in the morning, after having been chained all night as a punishment for his work on the navy department cieker. He evidently had a "lurch" against the world for being tied up like a common, ordinary dog, and he was in search of trouble sure. He raced around the White House grounds for a time, looking for excitement, and it soon hove in sight in the shape of a husky fellow bulb terrier. "Pete" tackled him without ceremony, but the other dog was too quick for him. He made a grab for "Pete's" forcible under the shoulder and got a magnificent under hold. Luckily the stranger got tired after awhile and gave the White House terrier a chance to adopt the discretionary part of valor, retiring in a mad rush to safety under the White House hedge. His superior knowledge of the holes through the thicket stood "Pete" in good stead, and he got away alive, thanks to the policeman on guard at the White House, who covered his retreat and chased away the most admired dog in the capital. If the owner of "Pete's" vanquisher will send word privately to a lot of officials high in the government service, he will receive the finest collar and dog tag that money can buy. Verdict Against Coal Company Verdict Against Coal Company. The jury in the case of Luther Lyons vs. the Central Coal and Coke Company of Kansas City, returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $20,165.40. The suit was brought by Luther Lyons, Walter Lyons, Rutin Riggs and Mina Hitchcock, all residents of Vernon county, against the Central Coal and Coke Company of Kansas City and Jack Williams, of Bates county. In the year 1903, or prior to that time, so the plaintiffs averred in their petition, the defendants in operating in their mines under lands which they had leased and which bordered upon the lands of the plaintiffs located in Vernon county, failed to stop their operations at their limits but worked the rich vein of coal underlying the lands of the plaintiffs. The vein of coal was from four to five and one half feet in thickness and was 100 feet below the surface of the earth. The plaintiffs claimed that they did not become aware of this encroachment until the year 1905 when they immediately brought suit for damages. Dr. Trader Dead in Sedalia Dr. John W. Trader, born at Xenia O., 70 years ago, but a resident of Missouri since 1840 and of Sedalia since 1865, died recently. Dr. Trader served throughout the Civil war in the federal army and at the close as a brigade surgeon of Gen. Pleasanton's cavalry corps. In 1867 he visited the Paris exposition as one of the commissioners for Missouri and in 1876 and 1877 he was president of the state medical association. In the latter he was appointed chief surgeon for the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway. For several years he served as a member of the examining board of the medical department of the state university and was also president of the Pettis county American Bible society. He belonged to the Methodist Episcopal church, the I. O. O. F. and the G. A. R. Back in the Harness Ex-Senator Cockrell, from Missouri, is taking part daily in the deliberations of the interstate commerce commission, of which he is a member, according to a Washington dispatch. Mr. Cockrell appears as well as he ever did, though a trifle thinner, and he says he feels as well as he ever did in his life, save that his heart action is not back to what it should be since the attack he had last winter. He sits through the hearings, when hearings are held by the commission, and transacts business as usual in his office between time. He takes outdoor exercise as much as possible, and is often seen walking on the street during the noon hour or after hours on his way to his home. Judge A. J. Harlan Dead. Dudge Andrew Jackson Harlan, the sole survivor of the Forty-second congress is dead at his home in Savannah aged 92 years. He was a member of the Forty-second and Forty third congress from Indiana. For three terms beginning in 1846 he was a member of the legislature of that state. In 1860 he was a member of the territorial legislature of Dakota. Tuberculosis Home July 1. The first meeting of the board of managers of the Mount Vernon tuberculosis sanitarium adjourned without electing any of the institution officers except a business manager to handle the affairs of the institution until the full corps of officers are chosen. The institution will be for formally opened July 1 for the reception of patients. Cadets' Walkout a Lockout: Fifty-two cadets walked out of Blees Military academy at Macon recently and a few minutes after the faculty met and "fired" the entire body. The trouble arose over Arthur C. Stura of Omaha, second lieutenant Company B, being tardy at reville and objecting to the punishment inflicted by the officers. There has been bad feeling for a couple of weeks owing to to go through before being subjected to go through before being subjected to government inspection, and when Lieutenant Stura was expelled the others walked out through sympathy, many of them making their way through the fire escapes to avoid arrest by the officers. Fooled Her Customers A Stainberry woman who had been selling eggs from a thoroughbred flock of hens for one dollar a setting was hard pressed for money and cut her price to 25 cents a dozen. She didn't say the eggs were for setting purposes; in fact she dipped them in hot water so they would never hatch. New Missouri Physicians. Out of 238 persons who took examinations before the state board of health at the meetings in St. Louis and Kansas City recently, 158 passed and were granted licenses to practice medicine in the state. The next state examination will be held in Mexico in Ring's hotel July 9, 10 and 11. He Didn't Tarry. A young negro porter in Butler wrote a note to a white girl.

Preston, of Elkland, Pa., says: "Three years ago I found that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was fading fast. My complexion got yellow and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was fading fast. My complexion got yellow and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. NO KISSING IN CHURCH. Gallician Peasants Punished for Untimely Osculation. Twenty Ruthenian peasants belonging to Ispas, in Galicia, have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment, from a week to a month, for kissing each other in church. A feud has arisen between two parties in the town, and the priest preached a sermon in which he urged the peasants to make friends before they came to church again. They took him at his word, and on the following Sunday the two hostile parties marched up the church side by side, and kissed the altar. Then they solemnly shook hands and kissed one another on both cheeks in the Polish fashion to seal the reconciliation. The kissing scene excited loud laughter among the members of the congregation, and the priest prosecuted the peasants for unseemly conduct in church. The court held that a church is no place for kissing and found the peasants guilty. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. "Gumming" Season Over. Like returning miners from the Klondike, the "gummers," amateur and professional, are coming out of the Maine woods with their golden grains, say the Boston Globe. Spruce gum has hardly reached the "weight in gold" price, but the lover of the balsamic "chew," for which there is no real substitute, must pay at the rate of $2.40 a pound for it, and that in Bangor. Me, a city supposed to be the Dawson City of the gum regions. Free Medical Advice A well known London physician at a dinner party one evening was much worried by one who was seeking gratuftous advice. "Do you know, doctor," said his questioner. "I know a man who suffers so terribly with indigestion that at times he can do nothing but howl with pain. What would you do in that case?" "Well, I suppose," responded the medical man, "I should howl with pain, too." Much "Havana" Tobacco. During the last year there were exported from Cuba the enormous number of 256,738,029 "Havana" cigars. Only about 30 per cent came to the United States, the total American purchases amounting to 79,483,125 cigars, while England took 92,459,687. Germany buys from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 and France 10,000,000 to 12,000,000. Sartorial Outcry.

FIT THE GROCER Wife Made the Suggestion. A grocer has excellent opportunity to know the effects of special foods on his customers. A Cleveland grocer has a long list of customers that have been helped in health by leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. He says, regarding his own experience: "Two years ago I had been drinking coffee and must say that I was almost wrecked in my nerves. "Particularly in the morning I was so irritable and upset that I could hardly wilt until the coffee was served, and then I had no appetite for breakfast and did not feel like attending to my store duties. "One day my wife suggested that inasmuch as I was selling so much Postum there must be some merit in it and suggested that we try it. I took home a package and she prepared it according to directions. The result was a very happy one. My nervousness gradually disappeared and to-day I am all right. I would advise everyone affected in any way with nervousness or stomach troubles, to leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee." "There's a Reason," Read, "The Road to Welville," in pkgs.

Journalistic Difficulties. Since its reappearance in Belgrade ten days ago the journal Otatsibina has been confiscated four times. Its editor, Capt. Novokavitch, has been sentenced to a month's imprisonment; the printers have been locked up on various charges, and the office boy expelled to Zemlin. In spite of these little difficulties the paper continues to appear daily—London Standard. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands. He Waa Thicker Skimmed. Walter Howard, the London dramatist, was leaving the stage door of a theater one evening when an anemoblacking youth stepped up and said: "Are you Mr. Howard?" The author replied in the affirmative, whereupon the young fellow said he wanted to go on the stage. Noticing his evident unfitness for such a life, Howard advised him to stick to his present occupation, whatever it was. "I am assistant pawnbroker across the way," said the ambitious young man. "And what do your people think of your going on the stage?" asked Howard. "Oh, they are right against it," was the jaunty reply, "but I shouldn't mind the disgrace myself." Tired Nervous Make Un MRS.NELLIE MAKHAM A nervous irritable woman, often on the verge of hysteries, is a source of misery to everyone who comes under her influence, and unhappy and miserable herself. Such women not only drive husbands from home but are wholly unfit to govern children. The ills of women act like a fire brand upon the nerves, consequently seven-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, the "blues", sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some organic derangement. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness alternating with extreme irritability? Do you suffer from pains in the abdominal region, backache, bearing-down pains, nervous dyspepsia, sleeplessness, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous troubles of women than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, Thousands and thousands of women can testify to this fact. Mrs. Nellie Makham, of 151 Morgan St. Buffalo, N.

Out of 18 brands of "White Lead" recently analyzed by the Government Agricultural Experiment Station of North Dakota, 5 contained absolutely no White Lead, 5 less than 15% of White Lead, and only 3 over 90% of White Lead. There is, however, a way to be certain of the purity and genuineness of the White Lead you buy, and that is to see that the keg you buy bears the Dutch Boy trade mark. This trade mark is a positive guarantee of absolutely Pure White Lead made by the Old Dutch Process.

Here in Kansas City the Rising Son the oldest Negro journal began its career. It has gone through many crises. It has almost been to the wall, but by some prepossessed power it has maintained its grip in the city. The Rising Son too has had many owners and managers during its ten years career. Many Negroes occupying eminent positions as school teachers, mail carrier and lawyers have been connected with this paper. Some of the people who have been connected with this paper at various times are Harry Graham, now teacher at Western University; Prof J. S. Harris principal at Summer School, the late Prof S. R. Bailey, Mrs. Francis Jackson, now a teacher at Lincoln Institute, T. B. J. Robinson, Willis Mosley, J. F. Cole and the veteran newspaper man Lewis Wood. Many more which could be recorded. Mr. Wood tuning the paper over to the new manager. The people who have worked on the paper could no doubt tell the public some interesting experiences. One strong reason why the Son did not go down was because the people have long desired a good negro journal. During these long years of continuous success the Son seemed not to have the proper master. If the right person had of been in the right place they never would have deserted the paper. The controllers of the paper at that time only needed to arouse an interested public. Some of the essential things for the maintaining of a good Negro newspaper. First the paper must have something therein to read. Second the paper must be live and interesting. Third, there must be a unity between the subscribers and the officials of the paper. Fourth, you must have a community from which you can draw fresh batches of news each week. Fifth there must be a general support throughout the entire community in which you have a circulation. Sixth the subscribers must pay their subscriptions promptly. Seventh there must be a sympathy on the part of the general public. Eighth the editors and reporters must bow to the will of the public. Ninth, the people on the paper must have enough ability to deliver the goods Tenth, the paper must be prompt regular and on time. These are some of the most essen- For Cash or on Easy Payments If you are thinking about making a purchase it will be worth your while to come in and see us first.

Three stores for your convenience. successful Labor for on" Among the es of the City. tial things it takes to run a first class Negro journal. Hence these are thoughts for serious consideration. The reason that the Negroes should have a good paper is four-fold in its answer. There are many reasons. Through a Negro paper the colored people can learn of their own ac- complishments from an unbiased standpoint. They need a good paper to show them the flight, to guide them through political campaigns. To tell them what men to support. To tell them when a Negro political leader is leading them wrong. To fight for their rights upon all occasions. To help the underdog in his fight for existence. To shield the innocent. To protect our women. To instruct the growing young men. To encourage the young graduates. To sound the alarm when danger is near. To be ready upon all occasions to declare for justice and equal rights. To show to the white men that are friends of the Negro that their labor has not been in vain. To sing of the deeds of their fathers and mothers during the time of slavery. All of these things are conductive to one object, the maintaining of a first class Negro journal with a city circulation of 10 or 15 thousand. The Negro has gone a long way toward solving the race problem. The new men on the Rising Son are making a strive for about 15,000 subscribers among the 35,000 negroes. Every subscriber should assist us in our efforts to reach 15,000 colored people. Let every one who takes this paper speak a good word for the paper. In securing 15,000 subscribers in Kansas City and a few thousand out of Kansas City, the Negroes could justly boast of having a splendid opportunity of being assisted in improving their conditions. Every country hamlet should have this paper in their home. Every Negro voter should see to it to have a copy of this paper in their home to be instructed along political lines. They should be enlightened in regard to their lodges, and when they have meetings, church news should be read in their rooms. All of this in its entirety should be had. Right will always triumph over might, and if this be the case the Son will soon reach the 10,000 mark and then on and on.

Everybody is at liberty to ask questions, except those questions of the strictest private nature, etc., and to answer any question desired. You will please write your question or answer and bring or mail it to the office of the Son, 914 E. 12th Street. Why is it that the Negroes do not support their Newspapers, which are so valuable in giving to the world the progress of the race? Which is the proper day for the Negroes to celebrate as emancipation day? The Son hopes that the patrons of this paper will feel that its columns are open, but it also wishes to state that people not subscribing for this paper should at least order the paper when they send in their news. The Rising Son is making a canvass for 15,000 subscribers within the next 8 or 10 months. Can they get them? Have you been to the new Arlington Theatre? If not, why not, and when are you going? Do the Colored people of this city desire to see a newsy news paper? Will they show that they want one? MRS. N. J. REYNOLDS. The Only Living Chartered Member of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. Mr. N. J. Reynolds, a historical church woman of our race, and evangelist of the Colorado conference, is a pioneer citizen of Kansas City. She is visiting her son, Mr. Wm. Bowles, of 710 E. Sixth St., and a host of old friends. She was married in this city about 39 years ago to Mr. Byrson Bowies, and later moved to Colorado; since which time she lost her husband in that state, and later in 1895 was the second time married to Mr. John Reynolds. The great religious worker was inspired and moved by the spirit of Almighty God to go into all the world and preach the everlasting gospel. She started as an evangelist from the Colorado Conference appointed by Bishop Tanner in 1899. Having been successful in her work in Colorado, she came eastward and has been very active this year in the evangelical work in her home state. She visited a large number of churches in Missouri, and says she finds a great need of enthusiastic church women who will go into the mission work with all their mind and strength to do something for God and humanity. The most interesting feature about the sketch of this character is that she is one of the founders of Allen Chapel in 1867 the first A. M. E. church, it was at that time located on Locust, between Third and Fourth streets. The first pastor of that church was Rev. William Owsley, who formerly resided in Carrollton, Mo. There were only eight members who constituted the organization which was perfected by the Presiding of Leavenworth, Kansas, Rev. J. C. Emery, who later became to be a Bishop. The following are the eight charter members of the church of which all are dead except Mrs. Reynolds, whose former name was Annie Brown: William Lewis, Robert Campbell, Smith Douglass, Peter Wills, Delpha Lewis, Nancy Rounds, Nannie Brown and Phenix Brown. Mrs. Reynolds will be glad to have her friends call while in the city which will only be about two weeks more, and then will return to Colorado Springs. She will preach next Wednesday night at the A.
