The Rising Son

EXTRA EDITION OF THE "RISING SON." RISING SON It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME XI. REV. J. W. HURSE, PASTOR OF S T. STEPHEN'S BAPTIST CHURCH, THE HIGH HAND FAKER, WHO HAS BEEN RUNNING AT LARGE SO LONG IN ALL HIS CORRUPTNESS. Rev. J. W. Hurse Was to Have Preach ed the K. of P. E. & W. H. Sermon at the Second Baptist Church, T enth and Charlotte Streets, Last Sunday Afternoon, But Because He Was as Exposed by a Woman Whom He Had Mistreated This Right Was Denied Him. He received notice from the pastor of the church that a man of his calibre could never grace his pulpit. Rev. Hurst has had the people fooled for a long time, but his dirt is no longer a secret. Most of his past history in this city has been turned up and can be substantiated anywhere and at any time. He has waffted himself in the confidence, love and affections of Annie Jones of 251 W. 4th St., to such an extent that he could spend her money at his leisure. It is believed that she was in earnest with him, but he was playing the skinning game on her as he has done on many others. However, in one of his letters to her, he called her, "My dear, loving and intended wife." Besides he has written her many letters of affection. How much longer will the Negroes of Kansas City be hoodedwinked by Negro inpostors in the pulpit and various other places? The people should condemn the actions of any man or woman, any time when the facts are shown up on them as they are in this case. If such a man as this is to lead a host of people, then tell us where he is leading them? If such kind of men are going to lead us; then we say away with the leaders. Christ says: Be ye not deceived; be sure your sins will find you out. Is Rev. Hurse the only preacher in town who is guilty of such? If a close investigation be made, can others be found and shown up? These are questions that concerned the public. It should be the desire of every good honest Negro citizen to drive out every faker of such a character in the community. Lift up your flag higher in the air in this community and let your colors be seen by false preachers and teachers. The Son stands for clean men and women to preach and teach. Every body knows where the Son stands. If the Negroes of this community will support a minister of the Gospel who will the himself up with a woman, when he knows she runs an ill-famed house, borrow her money and spend it as he desires, and now when she wants him to "come across" and keep his promise, he tries to beat her out of the money, throw her down, and get out of all his promises; if the Negroes will stand for such then they are no better than he who perpetrates such deeds. We appeal to every honest, intelligent, good thinking colored man and woman to repudiate the deed. If you are with us then join us against such. Christ says, "They that are not for us are against us." A GREAT CRIME HAS BEEN DONE THE COMMUNITY. Immortal actions on the part of any one is sadly to be deplored, but when a minister of the Gospel goes so far as to make himself immorally libel, then every Negro should set down on him, and down hard. There may be a few who will raise their voices in his defense. Why? Because water always seeks its level. So does dirty people try to hide other people's dirt. Now what is to be done in the case of the Rev. J. W. Hurse? Will the Negro stand idly by and allow such to be continued? Henry Grady, a great Southern educator, said the difficulty with the negro is that they have too many immoral preachers, but doing his long career as a writer and careful observer he was glad that the percentage had greatly decreased. He also advised the Negro when they discovered any to rid the community of such. Where do you stand? In silent opposition to the Son's policy or boldly for it. Let your position be come known by signs or words. What are his lodges going to do? He be longs to the Elks, Masons and Pythians. Now what are the lodges standing for in their charters? Let the world know where you stand. A PUBLIC STATEMENT TO RISING SON WITH NAME ATTACHED. Kansas City. Mo., May 28, 1907. In regards to Elder Hurse. I thought churches were a place to redeem fallen women and men and not to make them lead a wayward life. But because the pastor of St. Stephens church is so fresh and getting stuck on all strange women that come to his church. I am a woman all alone in this world; everything I have is made over to the old folks and Orphan Home. Rev. Horse promised me that even if it was on his dying bed he would make me his wife. I listened as he talked and I didn't talk fast enough for him and he said, "Come what have you to say about it; and being alone in the world, I finally consented and then I was to leave him my money instead of the Old Folks and Orphan Home. Because I didn't send him more money to Memphis and give him $3,000,000, which he tried to make me believe he intended to build a home on my property for us to live in, but he intended to use the money for himself. There is many a poor, hard working girl that he has worked out of their money the same way he did me, and they have been afraid to speak of it. Of course he had me under his influence and I put a gold chain on him worth $4,00, and he also wore my large diamond ring worth $200,00, and at one time he pretended to $260,00 in cash from me. He pretended to the members of his church when they paid me the money that they had only borrowed it, but he talked to me only when he got it from me. I took a mortgage on his horse and buggy for $150,00, or I wouldn't have gotten any of it back, though he didn't want me to do so. I took my diamond ring and chain from him. When he would ask me for money he said I was harder than a washer-woman to get money from. All married men beware of him because he is a notorious prevaricator and scoundrel. When he would go out at night with me, he would make me send him home in a carriage; as he was afraid to go home on a car, as he thought he would be seen. To the members of his church I wish to say that they all welcome to the $75.00 I gave them for a lawyer to look after the Park Board, to keep the church from being moved. I wish to say that there is many a good member in his church, but the leader has no more right to be in the pulpit than the gamblers on Independence avenue. The members are all blaming me, but I could not have gotten him down to my house if he had not wanted to come. I had been going to his church just a month when he began to call me up over the phone and running down here to see me. He pretended that he was canvassing and wanted to see me; so you see your leader is only a wolf in sheep's clothing. I want to say wash erwomen, cooks and servant girls be aware of him. Although you worked and made him what he is, he wound not marry any of you. He don't believe any of you are good enough for him. He wants to marry a woman that has plenty of money or marry a school teacher that would educate him in the ministry which he would like to be. If he had money and education he would not marry any one at all. He has deceived so many women that he could not live with one in peace. He is nothing but a notorious prevaricator and faker and the public should know it. To the Public. (ANNIE JONES.) THE AFRO-AMERICAN PRESS Practically a Unit in Support of the Jamestown Negro Exhibit—A Message of Cheer from Chairman Callor way. Norfolk, Va., May 22, 1907.—For the past few weeks the special agent of the Negro exhibit in connection with the Jamestown Exposition has been sending out money orders for subscriptions to the entire Negro press of the land, and up to this time more than three hundred of our papers have received attention at his hands, under the authority of the Executive Committee designated by the general government. The magnagers of the exhibit are strong believers in the efficiency and influence of the race press, and in addition to setting apart a special day for the entertainment of the "press fraternity." They are taking pains to secure copies of every known Negro publication in order to place before the public a complete exhibit of the journalistic strength of the American Negro, to be kept within ready access of the people throughout the life of the exposition. Visitors from all sections will thus be enabled to find their home papers constantly on file, and keep in touch with what is going on among the friends they have left behind. There are in this country fully four hundred newspapers magazines and periodicals of various kinds published by colored people, and when they are are all destroyed in a single collection, the effect will be startling to those who have not been in a position to know the tremendous strides the race has been making in the intelligent use of printers ink. This graphic demonstration of our journalistic resources, which will be in charge of Mr. R. W. Thompson, of Indiana, will unquestionably be one of the most noteworthy features of the entire expo- IN COMMON CHRISTIAN FELLOW SHIP. Colored and White Baptists Commingle at Jamestown Exposition—President Morris Receives Distinct Ovation. Exposition Grounds, Pine Beach, Norfolk, Va., May 24.—The general convention of the Baptists of North America, which has been in session here for the past two days, was one of the most remarkable religious gatherings ever held in the United States. There were 5,000 delegates present, white and colored, representing every branch of the great Baptist faith on this continent. There were delegates from the Southern Baptist church, which organization has a history dating from 1861, representatives from the Northern Baptist convention, now five years of age, envoys from the Canadian Baptist convention, and a particularly good looking and numerically strong delegation from the National Baptist convention, the largest colored religious organization in the world. Freely these thousands of representatives of the great sect, hailing from 39 states and commingled in Christian fellowship, the Northern, Southern and Negro delegates, and even Indians, greeting one cause—as friends and co-workers in a common faith. As one speaker expressed it, the feeling of sectional strife which years ago rent the church asunder, "was buried yesterday in a water grave in historic Hampton Roads." It is the first time the Baptists of the North, East, West and South have united in a national assembly since their lamentable separation more than half a century ago, on account of disagreements on the Negro and other distressing ante-bellum questions. Likewise, it is the first instance of the assembling together on Southern soil of the white and Negro Baptists of the country. As varied as the mixture was, the utmost harmony prevailed throughout, and American Christianity went to a premium. Ex Governor Edwin W. Stevens, of Missouri, presided with great dignity over the international and inter-racial throng, and the speeches, discussions and legislation enacted were highly illuminating and intensely practical. The immense convention hall was filled at each session with attentive listeners, and the numerous colored visitors were seated without reference to race lines. Unquestionably, the oratorical honors of the occasion were carried off by Dr. E. C. Morris, the scholarly and magnetic president of the National Baptist Convention. He was introduced to the body in a most felicitous speech by ex-Governor Stevens, and was given a distinct ovation when he took the floor. As the duly accredited representative of a church, which includes in its membership and sphere of influence nearly one-third of the entire colored population of the American continent, he was the cynosure of all eyes. His truly brilliant address of three-fourths of an hour held the audience spellbound, and the sentiments suggestive of unity of denominational purpose and Christian cooperation, were greeted by the heartiest applause. He was frequently interrupted by demonstrations of ap proval, and at the close of his speech hundreds of white delegates rushed to him and extended the warmest congratulations. Dr. Morris told in earnest tones of the great work the Negro Baptists are doing for the evangelization of the race, and showed by statistics the marvelous progress the denomination has made in the acquisition of real property, the building of stately edifices, the establishment and maintenance of schools, the development of business enterprises, and the gratifying results it has been achieving in the domain of governmental thought and morals as the militant champion of civic righteousness. Dr. Morris' address was conceded to be the very best delivered during the sitting of the convention, and his eloquent and well-tempered plea for a closer Christian brotherhood between the Baptists of both races and for a deeper spirit of sympathy for the needs, trials and painful disadvantages of the Negro in his struggle upward, made a lasting impression upon the vast assembly. There is no doubt that the entire race has been materially benefited by Dr. Morris' able presentation of its case before the united Baptist court of North America, and it is certainly a "teather in the cap" of the Jamestown Exposition that it furnished the opportunity for the Negro's "brief" to be so effectively presented at a tribunal of such widespread influence. In the election of officers for the ensuing term, Dr. Morris was honored with a place on the Executive Committee. The colored delegates to the convention, as far as could be ascertained, were as follows: Drs. E, C. Morris, Helena, Ark.; H. Boyd and E, W. D. Isaac, Nashville, Tenn.; J. P. Robinson, Little Rock, Ark.; L. G. Jordon and C. H. Parrish, Louisville, Ky.; George W. Le; M. W. D. Norman and A. Will banks, Washington, D. C.; G. B. Howard, Petersburg, Va.; A. J. Stokes Montgomery, Ala.; A. A. Cosey, Helena, Ark.; A. M. Johnson, Vickersburg Miss.; R. H. Bowling, Norfolk, Va. W. F. Graham, Richmond, Va.; T. J. Scary and T. O. Fuller, Memphis Tenn.; Robert Mitchell, Bowling Green, Ky.; F. Franklin Walker, Cincinnati, O.; and C. F. Johnson, Indianapolis, Ind. While on the exposition grounds, the delegates paid a visit to the busy negro department, and, without exception, they expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the magnificent exhibit of the race's manifold resources, soon to be thrown open for public inspection MESTOWN EXPOSITION NOTES HAMES TOWN EXPOSITION NOTES. The situation at the exposition grounds is highly encouraging. The field agents are on the spot, receiving the exhibits, and the space for the principal displays has been carefully allotted by the Executive Committee. The scheme of interior decoration is being artistically worked out, and in a short time the word will be passed around that they are "ready to receive company." The officers and the entire clerical force are now comfortably established on the grounds, having removed out from the City of Norfolk to be more closely in touch with the actual work of "making an exposition." This is an important step forward. Two of the larger buildings for the concessionaries, to be used for hotel and restaurant service, are completed, and the others are being rushed night and day by an army of skilled work men. The portable cottage emergency hospital will be installed in a few days. From the newspaper comment, personal letters and other sources of information it is evident that the deepest interest is being manifested in the Negro exhibit by our people everywhere. There is no doubt that after the middle of June the crowds will be coming on in earnest. The Negro building will be brilliantly illuminated by night, the classic contour of the exterior to be outlined with electric bulbs. More than three thousand lights will be used throughout the massive structure and the effect will be something grand. Mrs. Leugenia Moore, of Wilsey, Kansas, has patented a unique cook bucket, which will be among the useful inventions on exhibition. The vessel is made up of compartments slides, steamers, etc., and is so adjusted that as many as six or seven different vegetables can be cooked in it at one time. The fine points of domestic science will be instructively demonstrated in a model kitchen in the Negro building by Prof. N. C. Bruce, principal of the Bartlett High School, St. Joseph, Mo. and as a part of the exhibit of that thriving institution. The food will be prepared in full view of the audience and samples of the finished product will be distributed among the spectators. A full set of the works of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, together with many original manuscripts written by the deceased bard, have been kindly loaned by his mother, and will be given an conspicuous position in the division of literature. The Literary exhibit will include a library of negro authors, comprising over 400 volumes, collected by Mr Daniel Murray, assistant librarian of Congress, Washington, D. C., and the showing of the journalistic strength of the race in a stand, embracing every known newspaper, magazine or periodical published by Negroes in the country. It will astonish the uninformed to know that there are fully four hundred newspapers issued regularly by our people, representing every possible interest, organization and phase of public opinion. This exhibit will be in charge of Mr. R. W. Thompson of Indiana. Referring to Negro journalists in general and their attitude toward the great race enterprise now being made ready at Jamestown, Mr. Thomas J. Calloway, the experienced and indie fatigable chairman of the Executive Committee in charge of the work, said to a representative of the press: "One of the especially pleasing cir- FOUR- Rising Sou- GOVERNMENT SONGS constituents connected with the task of getting together the Negro exhibit for the Jamestown Exposition is the practical unanimity with which the movement is being supported by the colored press of the country. Ninety nine per cent of the 400 Negro journals in the land are in hearty accord with the plans and purposes of the Executive Committee. They are not only cheerfully publishing the facts we are giving out week by week, giving of their space at no small sacrifice, but many of the editors are writing us personal letters of an encouraging tenor, and volunteering to render any service within their power to make the exhibit one of which the race may be proud. That such cordial and unsel- fited assurances are very helpful to us goes without the saying. We ende- vor to be as careful as we can, and to give out no statement not basolutely reliable." "The bulk of the race press," continued Mr. Calloway, "has been quick to take hold of the idea that the Negro exhibit is not a "private snap," a scheme by which individuals are to reuptold benefits in a monetary way. They realized from the very first that the affair is a race enterprise, pure and simple, and whatever credit or gain may grow out of if will be shared by every colored man, woman and child on the continent. Only through the Negro press—the people's most natural medium of communication—can authentic information be carried to the masses, and both the publishers and their patrons seem appreciative of our system of supplying them with frequent reports touching the progress that is being made with the work in which we are all vitally interested. We are sending out weekly five hundred news letters to papers and individuals, furnishing data that could only be obtained through our committee, taking every body fully into our confidence. "I am glad to have this opportunity to thank most heartily the brethren of the press and the thousands of other sturdy workers who are contributing so largely to the volume of tangible evidences of the race's determination to be the architect of its own uplift." A STATEMENT FROM THE EDITOR An article appeared in the Son, entitled "The Awakening of Mayor Beardsey." In the article I referred to myself and others having been deceived by the mayor. I wish it to be distinctly understood that this article was not written for the purpose of whining after a job for I would not accept any. Fails article was written because I felt he had mistreated the Negro by recognizing old line politician. We wish to be entirely free in the operation of this paper. We are running this paper as the servant of the great body of Negroes. I do not owe any obligation to any politician or political boss. I owe the republican party nothing nor any other party. I am independent entirely of politics. We are standing for the uplift of the Negroes. There is no political job you can give me. I only want the Negro to get a square deal and for the white republican leaders not to always be giving the same Negroes jobs. Do you people keep the same jobs for 8, 10 or 12 years. Let there be a change. There is a class of young negroes in politics. Such men as L. Amasa Knox John T. Moreland, C. H. Calloway, Horace Bolden, M. Jones, Theo. Smith, Lorenzo Hines, John Harris and Wm M. Rice. These are some of the men who are going to shape Negro politics. The people are tired of Negro political bosses. They are calling for a change in the faces of men in politics. A change will do the Negroes good New Men with new ideas. The entire white political status of this city has been changed. Will the Negroes bring about a change? It is only thought that that such can be done as the white men can be easily deceived as you have seen in the last few cam NUKBER 38 paigns. It is for this reason that I don't desire any job, for I would rather stand out and be independent and allow my friends and supporters to be taken care of than for them to be deceived by dishonest men and dishonest politics. Mr. D. A. Willis is no longer connected with the Arlington dancing Hall. Mr. Willis, as a manager of dancing halls in this city for ten years, has been remarkably successful along that line. He has always run a very high class place, and nothing but high class people attended. We hope that he is only taking a vacation and that he has not gone out for good. THE RISING SON QUERY BOX.

"There," said the great magnate when his attorney entered, "look over that dispatch." "Um," observed the lawyer after reading the story, "looks rather bad. Sixty-seven indictments! Gracious! I don't like that." "Don't like it? What are you talking about. I didn't send for you to find out whether you liked it or not. What I want you to do is to find out whether I am going to Europe or to stand on my technicalities."—Chicago Record-Herald Lucky Moment For the tenth time the poem had been returned.

WHAT WOMEN WEAR I COSTUMES IN SHANTUNG SILK AND CHIFFON Some one has spoken of the present year as a "reason of plaids" but this is only true of tailor-mades for morning wear; one rarely, if ever, sees a plaid gown worn in the afternoon. On the other hand, stripes are in the full flood of favor, in every possible material; grey and white stripes and dull blue and white stripes are immensely fashionable and in many cases the striped materials are worked with plain-faced cloth in a particularly effective manner. made between hellotrope and b dull pink and purple, puce and We wood, while a most admirable dress all of one tone takes a yellow shade, almost buff, and looks well der the influence of trimmings of the crochet lact to match. Feather boas are making their appearance, and are mostly sha with two colors. Many reach to bust, others to the waist, and oth again to the knees, while tassels silk or feathers terminate them. Recently I saw a costume of this order carried out in dull shades of gray, with the best effects. The skirt which was round and fully gored, was made of the striped material, and there was a deep hem of plain cloth, headed by handsome braidings in a rather dark shade of gray. There was a very short coattee—which barely reached below the waist—with a sac back and double-breasted fronts; the coat itself was made of plain cloth, but the lower portion of the Kimoono sleeves showed stripes, and there was a blouse of chalk white gipure inset with motifs of embroidered muslin. It was a most original-looking little gown, and was accompanied by a cloche of Tuscan straw, with dark gray velvet ribbons twisted round the crown and hanging in a bunch of ends at the right side, over the brim, and a clump of purple violets close to the front. A novel fabric which should claim considerable attention for the making of summer dresses, either in bodice and skirt style or Chinese coat and skirt fashion, is Tussore silk striped, producing admirable effects in mixtures of blue and white, and holland color and white, and mauve and white. I have seen these excellently made, and very simply trimmed with crossway bands of the same material, with the bodice or coat showing pendant tassels to match, the under-sleeves and the vest being of tucked lawn. Also I would hold a brief for plain Tussore, or Shantung, as the authorities have now elected to call it, while they have dyed it in every conceivable color, and also accept it with pleasure when it assumes its most natural aspect, a straw tint. No costume looks better than a plain Tussore ```markdown ``` An Exquisite Design in Voile Dress. An Exquisite Design in Voile Dress gown well cut and simply made crowned with a brown mushroom hat with a floating veil. I quote this as an example of successful simplicity, the coat or bodice of the gown being made to suit the individual figure goes without saying, since this should be a modish mandate of perennial popularity. The serious rival to Tussore silk is voile, which, however, not lending itself to be made into coats, needs must be relegated to bodices whose waists should be determined according to fancy. Many waists of voile gowns are cut low in front and high as the back, encircled with a broad belt, and very effective this is in combination with the wide sleeves, and decked to taste either with many frills or embroidery at the hem of the slightly gathered skirt. Good combination of color will do much to stamp individuality on frocks of this pattern, and there are some all together adorable alliances being made between hellotrope and blue, dull pink and purple, puce and Wedgwood, while a most admirable volle dress all of one tone takes a yellowish shade, almost buff, and looks well under the influence of trimmings of thick crochet lact to match. Feather boas are making their reappearance, and are mostly shaded with two colors. Many reach to the bust, others to the waist, and others again to the knees, while tassels of silk or feathers terminate them, and velvet ribbons also sometimes do this decorative duty. Hats are being pushed further and further back, until there is as much hair to be seen from the forehead as from the nape of the neck; indeed, in many cases there is more to be seen at the front than the back. Such a state of affairs is by no means conducive to a trim outline, but it attains favor, and no doubt will continue to do so during the whole of this season. To such millinery I confess I do not pay that fealty which I usually bestow upon any fashion just for fashion's sake, for in truth I do not think it is becoming to one woman out of a thousand, and I am convinced that the other 999 will wear it with enthusiasm. The outline is open and low, the trimming pendant at the back, a wreath of flowers being most popular round the brim. And now a word concerning the dresses displayed in our pictures. In the larger illustration are shown two costumes, the one on the left being in the new banana colored Shantung silk, stripped faintly with red, and the other is of white chiffon pointed with trailing stripes of black ribbon, alternating with applique bands of narrow silver lace and finished off in true lover's knot bows where the whiteness of the chiffon merges into an encircling band of palest blue, patterned with shadowy pink roses, this in its turn being succeeded by a band of silver tissue veiled with a cobwebly black net and headed by folds of plain pink, and blue and silver, and a trail of tiny silken blossoms wrought in blue and pink silk. All this exquisite detail is repeated on the bodice, with the addition of some cobwebly lace, sundry silken and silver tassels, and a knot of black ribbon, catching in a long-stalked rose while a toque where quite a bouquet of pink roses against the hair in front, and three pale blue ostrich feathers curve over the back, is a worthy crown for an exquisite gown. The dress in our smaller illustration is one of the latest designs in vole and is both exquisite and graceful. "Toffee" as Made in England. It may be possible that there are some persons who grow old so thoroughly that they actually forget that they ever were children, but I can't help wondering if any man or woman ever lived to such an age as to become impervious to the delights of "toffee" or the butter scotch that has made Doncaster a household word to every civilized nation under the sun. Of course, you have eaten it—to the joy of your soul and to the detriment of your teeth—and, if you will promise not to repeat it, I will give you the secret recipe for this candy, for it is made nowhere as in England. Take three pounds of "coffee" or "C" sugar, butter to the amount of a pound and a quarter, with half a teaspoonful of cream of tarter. First dissolve the sugar in just as much cold water as may be required for that purpose, then mix all the ingredients together, and boll them, without stirring the mixture until it will snap when dropped into cold water. At this moment remove it from the fire; add eight or ten drops of lemon extract, according to its strength, and pour the mixture into well-greased pans to be cut into squares as it cools."—From Odds and Ends of Culinary Geography, by Miles Bradford in The Bohemian for January. Prune Salad. Prunce served as a salad are a novelty that is decidedly worth trying. The prunces, after cooling, are soaked in sherry and then candied with walnuts or pecans, put on the crispest, palest lettuce leaves and dressed with a dressing having twice the amount of lemon juice as it has off, and mustard, celery salt and pepper. It's a delicious salad. THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT. He Comes In With the New Law—Paul Morton on His Opportunity. The new insurance law of the State of New York has opened up a promising field for both men and women with brains and energy in the sale of life insurance. The law now provides standard forms of policies, each of which practically bears the hall mark of the State of New York, and this new order of things has established the sale of life insurance on a correct basis. The prohibition against rebating and extravagant allowances to agents has driven out of the business the old type of insurance agent, who in many cases virtually bought business, with large rebates, instead of selling it. His place is being taken by professors, lawyers, school teachers of both sexes, and others, who find that being a life insurance agent under the new system offers greater reward than their previous vocations. The law has reduced commissions but all of the commission now goes to the agent. Life insurance is something that everyone needs and under the present system its sale is being conducted with becoming dignity and propriety. Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, has taken the lead in building up an agency organization that is in keeping with the demands of public sentiment, and the standard he has set for his company. He says: "We want new agents, both men and women, but none except energetic, able and truthful people need apply. For such there is a splendid opportunity." Mr. Morton's policy of injecting new and vigorous blood into the agency force of the Society is meeting with success in all parts of the country. KNITTING MACHINE ROMANCE. Invented That a Jilted Lover Might Have His Revenge. Romance may certainly figure in many of the knitted waistcoats and gorgeous stockings worn by our undergraduates of to-day, but these have not so romantic an origin as the first of these articles produced in this country. For tradition has it that William Lee, who in the sixteenth century invented the knitting frame on which both stockings and waistcoats were produced mechanically, was driven to this piece of ingenuity by the cruel flouting of the lady be loved, who happened to be a stocking knitter. Enraged at his failure to make an impression on her heart, he sought to make it on her purse by killing her means of livelihood; and one is glad to read that all stocking makers combined to frustrate his cruel purpose, with the result that he fled with his invention to France, where he finally died of a broken heart, whether for love of his lady or of his spoiled invention, tradition does not say.—London Chronicle. Ghosts of Dead Lakes. In the great basin between the Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie the ghosts of many dead lakes. Rivers still flow down to the dry edge of these one-time great reservoirs and are licked up by evaporation and the chinook winds. Of all the lakes that once lay there, only Great Salt Lake, Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left. The Southern Pacific rolls for 165 miles across the bed of what was once Lake Lahontan, and the passengers gazing idly from the windows may see the terraces and wrinkles in the crust of the fossil lake which nature robbed and defrauded of its crystal treasures ages ago—Exchange. One Redeeming Feature. A youthful New York artist recently invited a friend to dinner in her studio. As the bachelor maid's skill was greater in mixing colors than in catering to grosser tastes, the dinner was something to grish one's teeth at and upon. The roast chicken was tough, the potatoes were underdone, the pineapple salad was pity. In angulish of mind, the young hostess sank to the depths of apologizing. "The dinner was delightful, I assure you," said her guest, a charming woman who would cheerfully have perished at the stake rather than utter a tactless word: "I have rarely tasted such tender gravy." DR. TALKS OF FOOD Pres. of Board of Health. "What shall I eat?" is the daily inquiry the physician is met with. I do not hesitate to say that in my judgment, a large percentage of disease is caused by poorly selected and improperly prepared food. My personal experience with the fully-cooked food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to speak freely of its merits. "From overwork, I suffered several yea's with malnutrition, palpitation of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last summer I was led to experiment personally with the new food, which I used in conjunction with good rich cow's milk. In a short time after I commenced its use, the disagreeable symptoms disappeared, my heart's action became steady and normal, the functions of the stomach were properly carried out and I again slept as soundly and as well as in my youth. "I look upon Grape-Nuts as a perfect food, and no one can gain say but that it has a most prominent place in a rational, scientific system of feeding. Any one who uses this food will soon be convinced of the soundness of the principle upon which it is manufactured and may thereby know the facts as to its true worth."

A little elderly German who keeps a stationer's shop amuses himself by making up stories about his customers and telling them to his family. "Dat young lady who has de plink cheeks, she be married soon, I tink," he announced one night. "Now, my Carl, you know nottings of her whateffer, is it not so?" and his wife looked severe. "It is like dis," said the stationer solemnly: "I observe, and I know. At first she buys paper and envelopes de same; later she buys twice as more paper, and den five times as more paper as envelopes. So I know she is betrothed. And to-day she buy only one-half dozen envelopes and five times as more paper; and when I tell her she get dem cheaper if she buy many, she say, 'I have no need of more, tank you;' so I know de friend he comes soon and so comes de marriage on quickly."—Youth's Companion. BABY ITCHED TERRIBLY. Face and Neck Covered with Inflamed Skin—Doctors No Avail—Cured by Cuticura Remedies. "My baby's face and neck were covered with itching skin similar to eczema, and she suffered terribly for over a year. I took her to a number of doctors, and also to different colleges, to no avail. Then Cuticura Remedies were recommended to me by Miss G—I did not use it at first, as I had tried so many other remedies without any favorable results. At last I tried Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, and to my surprise noticed an improvement. After using three boxes of the Cuticura Ointment, together with the Soap and Pills, I am pleased to say she is altogether a different child and the picture of health. Mrs. A. C. Brestlin, 171 N. Lincoln St., Chicago, ill., Oct. 20 and 30, 1906." One Hundred Years Ago. Gen. Zebulon Pike was discovering the peak that bears his name. "The reason why I know I'm the first white man that ever saw it," he said, "is that it hasn't got any patent medicine signs on it." Regretting that he couldn't spare the time to stop and discover the gold that lay hidden all around him, he took a parting look at the snowy summit of the peak and resumed his toilsome march. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. His Use for It. "Veh," said Tommy, "pa gave me a watch to carry when I started in at school this fall." "My!" exclaimed Aunt Jane. "That's nice, isn't it?"

There are many more wolves in sheep's clothing in this city. Let them be known. The Son has its representatives in every section of the city, in readiness to collect data concerning the action of any individual. The Negroes we hear that are around back firing and upholding immoral actions on the part of individuals will come in for their share of the dressing. We are sending 5,000 copies to people who do not take this paper. We hope when you receive a free copy of this paper that you will immediately subscribe for it. The trouble is that a few so-called big Negroes have had a certain lack of respect for Negro journals. If you do some thing to which the public call our attention to we will write you up and call your name. In the article relating to the Son's position on public school teachers there was a small mistake in two departments. Miss Bridle is the teacher of Latin and Miss Sprague the teacher of Domestic Research and Scientific Utilities. The men on the Rising Son don't desire any political jobs. Such being the case we shall endeavor to change this old political system of always giving the same men the same political jobs. The white leader in the party should get wise and learn that the Negroes don't desire this same old gag rule in politics. Let this be understood by every one who reads this paper. First that this paper under its new management can back up anything that goes within its sheets. Financially, intellectually or otherwise. So don't be too confident of your power of resistance. Wise and powerful men know their weakness and limit. Weak and foolish men know neither. The policy of this paper in its stand for the best interest of the Negro is to write and expose any Negro preacher, lawyer, doctor, school teacher, society impostor, private citizen, politician or anyone else, who is a moral burden to the community. You are not too high to be reached or too low to be overlooked. We believe in the redemption of Christ, the Fatherhood of God, and the Brothershood of man. God's Sun, that glorious and shining ball of light sends its rays throughout the entire world; upon the rich and poor alike; upon savage and civilized countries alike, bringing happiness and joy on all who behold its beautiful orbs. So let it be, with the "Rising Son." Let it reach every humble Negro hamlet. Let its light be a source of happiness and joy to every poor, humble and ignorant Negro. Let it reach every Negro in the state; shedding its light to the very hearth of the Negro homes. What God willleth, so shall be done. This is an extra edition of the Rising Son. At this particular time we are endeavoring to reach every Negro home in the entire city. No doubt many people will receive this paper that are not subscribers to it. But we want you to read it from page to page and absorb the important facts therein and show eachother that you are not bound by yoke or ties. But that you will as good Negro citizens stand out for that which is right in this community of Jackson county, Mo. Stand for your rights and they will be given unto you, so said a prophet and it was well said. 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 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. 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 Thompkins and found everything en-tele. 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 Inhobitarium 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? 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. Crosswate, Chemistry, Civil Government and Hygiene, Prof. Walden of Physics, Miss Sasportas assistant in English, Miss Bridie, 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.

THE LARGE WHITE BUSINESS FIRMS HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN THE RISING SON. 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.

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.

"One thousand people, beaten in the battle of life, commit suicide in New York every year." Such was the startling statement made by Colonel Holland, of the Salvation army, three days after the new Anti-Suicide Bureau was established at the army headquarters on Fourteenth street, New York. A The Anti-Salicide bureau asks all who have grown desperate and have determined to take their own lives, to come in and tell their troubles with the absolute assurance that their confidence will be withheld from the world, and see if some better way cannot be found to escape their present misery than by seeking oblivion in the key waters of the North river. Of course, like all new and startling innovations the new bureau was considered by many as doomed to failure—that people who wished to kill themselves would not stop to see if there were hope and prospects of new life in the little reception room of the Salivarius; but all this was before the first haggard, wild eyed creature had knocked insistentially at the door of Colonel Holland's office, or had been ushered into the motherly presence of the brigadier on the floor below. In three days 20 people in deep distress had called "to talk it over." "I am firmly convinced," said Colenel Holland, "that all of our callers were people who had had the idea of committing suicide. There were no 'fake cases.' They gave us their whole life and heart history without reserve." Religious Progress in Japan. Bishop Harris of Japan writes: 'The Greek and Roman Catholics in Japan number about 100,000. The Protestants are equally strong, and all won in less than a generation. Most of the Protestant churches have become independent national institutions, and the Japan Methodist church is soon to be organized by the union of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Methodist Episcopal church, south, and a Methodist church of Canada, which will have over 12,000 members, 128 organized churches, 139 ministers, 62 Bible women, 14 boarding schools for both sexes, with 2,729 pupils, 32 day schools, with 2,713 pupils, two theological schools with 53 students, and churches and parishoners worth over $100,000. Chinese Women's Christian Conference A remarkable conference of Christian women met recently in Weil Hsten, the Holy Land of China. There were 300 women representing over 200 villages, and 200 more came from the neighborhood. Here was a gathering of women, some of them over 70, who had hobbled on their bound feet for 50 miles or less, carrying bedding, lynn book and Bible. More remarkable still is the fact that their husbands encouraged them to go, though many had never before been more than two miles from home. Church Property Divided. The decision recently given by the Eligin Commission, appointed to arbitrate in the case of the division of property of the United Free church, gives to the United Free church the assembly halls and college buildings in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, and the greater share of the foreign mission funds. The "Wee Frees" receive two additional church edifices in Glasgow, a block of office buildings in Edinburgh, and an annuity of $15,000 a year for maintenance of their theological college. In addition they will receive something for their foreign work, which is conducted on a small scale. The Best Sunday School Teachers Hon. George White, president of the London Sunday School Union, recently stated that he had found that 99 in a hundred of the rank and file of Sabbath school teachers were busy working people. It is an open secret among ministers and superintendents that the most energetic Sunday school teachers are those who also work hard during the week. Go-to-Church Society. The Go-to-Church society is the name of an organization of children in the Scotch Presbyterian church, the second oldest of the denomination in New York city. This has about 75 members, and it was organized by the pastor, Rev. Dr. David G. Wylie. The little folks promise to go to church every Sunday morning they possibly can. Long Eastern Trip Dean Bosworth, D. D., of Oberlin Theological seminary, has sailed from San Francisco for an eastern trip of about four months, mainly under the auspices of the World's Student federation. New Church for Manila A large Filipino Methodist Episcopal church is in process of erection in a prominent location in the city of Manila. ```markdown ``` Dexsticated Quail Some time last summer the children of Joe Murphy, living east of Paris, captured a young quail and took him to the house, where he was raised with the chickens. The bird took to domesticated habitats among his fellow-fowls of the barnyard, became the special friend of a motherly old hen, his attachment for her, as the days passed deepened into one of rare sympathy and constancy. Wherever the hen goes the guail goes also and he never leaves her side save when she goes to her nest under the poarch; then he perches on the rail above her, and when she comes out cackling triumphantly over a newly laid egg he begins to whistle as glayly and the two of them make enjoyable music. Qualls are hard to domesticate, and the incident is an unusual one—Parla Mercury. Bixby Gives Drury College $1,000. President Kirbye of Drury college has announced a contribution of $1,000 by W. A. Bixby, capitalist of St Louis, to the deficit fund of the school year. Drury collie has a deficit of between $4,000 and $6,000 each school year. One of the contributors to the $250,000 endowment fund now being raised by President Kirbye is the general board of education of New York city. One of the terms of the contribution by the board of $50,000 is that there shall be no deficit at the end of the school year. President Kirbye announced that the deficit, as well as the $250,000 fund, are now sure to be raised. Too Zealous for Good Order. William Lumpkin of Eldon, expropriate judge of Miller county, pleaded guilty before the United States commissioner to sending obseene matter through the mails. He gave $500 bond pending the action of the federal grand jury. Mr. Lumpkin is 60 years old. He is a strong advocate of law enforcement. The charge to which he pleaded guilty was writing anonymous letters to managers of disreputable resorts in his town which the people of the community were seeking to drive from the town. Dentists Must Pay or Quit. The state dental examiners are preparing to collect the renewal fee from all licensed dentists in this state or revoke their license to practice. Under the law derivatives are required to pay a renewal license fee of $1 annually to the board. The board has been benign about forcing the collection of this fee and there are now about 500 dentists in the state who are delinquent for two years. They must pay by July 1. Strawberries Were Fatal. Miss Elisie Merlan Maddux, daughter of Mrs. D. B. Maddux, died at the family home at St. Joseph as the result of eating a dish of strawberries at a party five weeks before. Upon returning home from the party the young woman became very ill and the physician who attended here said that the berries had evidently been picked green and chemically treated for the purpose of ripening them. The Largest Association. The Missouri Bankers association which recently met in Kansas City, is the largest state organization of banker in the United State. Missouri has a large number of banks than any other state and practically all the bankers are members of the association. There are 1,220 banks and trust companies in Missouri and 1,300 members of the association. The Fireman "Showed 'Em." Chester Horner, a Rock Island fireman, went to a room over a saloon at Trenton, smashed furniture and windows and threw spittoons into the street, broken glass falling on passersby. Calling to the people on the street below, Horner showed them a regulation poker table and declared that was where he had lost his month's wages. He was arrested and fined. The incident has aroused public sentiment against a number of alleged gambling rooms in the city. After the Car Associations. The Missouri board of railroad commissioners has requested Herbert S. Hadley, attorney general to begin proceeding, in the supreme court to compel the car service associations of Kansas City, St. Joseph and St. Louis to comply with the order of the board allowing 72 hours for unloading a car of coal. Seventy-two hours originally was allowed for that purpose, but beginning with this year the association reduced the time to 48 hours. Lexington College Closes 53d Year. Lexington college closed its 53d year with the commencement exercises held recently at which 16 pupils, representing four states, were graduated. Degrees were conferred upon Pearl L. Evans and Goldie L. Rice, Smithville; Irene Houston, Malta Bend; Grace Campbell, Bates City; Jennie Powell, Lee's Summit; Lena M. Griffith, Clinton, Mo.; Anna F. Photoset, Mary Dunklin Wilson, Katherine Ryland Todhunter and Elna Sanford Worder, of Lexington Washington Day by Day News Gathered Here and There at the National Capital MRS. TAFT ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIAN AND LINGUIST WASHINGTON. — Somewhat interested in the prospects of Taft's presidential boom is Mrs. Taft, wife of the secretary of "peace and war." If events continue in their present drift she is likely to be a prominent candidate for first lady of the land. She thinks—and does not deny it—that "the judge" is the best man yet suggested for Republican candidate in 1908. She hopes that T. R. will continue of this mind. She says she thinks T. R.'s endorsement will help. Mrs. Taft became acquainted with the inside of the White House when, at the age of 16, she was Helen Herron of Cincinnati, and visited Mollie Hayes, daughter of President Hayes, at the White House. Her father was John W. Herron, law partner of President Hayes. Mrs. Taft takes great pride in being a thoroughly domestic woman. She is a musician, and an accomplished linguist. She organized and was the first president of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra. On her sideboard is a magnificent solid silver centerpiece given her by this organization in token of appreciation. Mrs. Taft studied instrumental music for more than 15 years in Cincinnati and abroad, and she has BECAUSE President Roosevelt wanted to have his picture taken on horseback—at least so the story goes—a regular cabinet meeting was postponed the other day for the first time in the memory of the oldest attache of the White House. The president, it is said, has been thinking for some time that he ought to have a few more photographs. As day after day passed without furnishing the necessary sunshine he became more and more nervous. On the particular morning in question, after the cabinet members had gathered the clouds suddenly disappeared and the sky was clear for the first time in two weeks. Without waiting to give much of an GRANDSON OF GEN. GRANT TO WED SOCIETY GIRL THE most noted society event in Washington in many a year will be the wedding of Miss Helen Dent Wrenshall, a pretty and talented Washington girl, to Chaffee Grant, of San Diego, Cal., a grandson of the late Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, which will be a function of the early June. While the blood of the greatest general America has produced courses through the veins of the young future bridegroom, the bride-to-be boasts of a lineage equally aristocratic. Miss Wrenshall says she is a lineal descendant of Alfred the Great. Miss Wrenshall is the daughter of the late Edward Wrenshall, a prominent banker of this place. She is also a talented musician. The love affair is touched with romance and dates back to the time when both were mere children. When but a young boy young Grant was sent to Washington by his father to attend school. He remained here for two years, and during this period he became acquainted with Miss Wrenshall. Although very young the attachment was very strong, and after leaving the school he returned to JUSTICE HARLAN of the United States supreme court, aged 74 years, made a home run and won the game in a baseball contest at the annual shad bake given by the Washington Bar association at Marshall Hall, Md., the other day. When Justice Harlan went to the bat the score was a tie and the umpire had called two strikes and three balls. It was a critical and exciting moment, when Justice Harlan smashed the sphere a wicked swat squarely on the nose and drove it to deep center. He started around the bases and bla leg work was really marvelous. His sprinting qualities surprised taught all her children her art. The children inscrit the students disposition of their father. The oldest daughter, Helen, led her classes in the cathedral school, from which she graduated last year, and now is preparing for Bryn Mawr college. Robert Alphonso, the eldest, now 19, is an undergraduate at Yale. He expects to adopt the hereditary occupation of law. He took a special course two years ago at Oxford in English law and history. Charles P. Taft, youngest of the family is named for his rich newspaper uncle in Ohio. At the Force public school in this city, he sits beside his crony, Quentin Roosevelt. He knows what he will be when he grows up—a soldier in the army. He plans to go to West Point as soon as dad will let him. Secretary Taft is not a man of wealth. He has always had to live on his salary, and a secretary's salary does not go far in Washington. The Tafts, therefore, do not entertain in any showy way, though they are able to select their friends from among the most interesting people, and their fondness for music has brought them in touch with musicians and artists. NO CABINET MEETING — TEDDY HAS PHOTOS TAKEN explanation the executive told his advisers not to wait, but to come around again next day. Then he donned his riding clothes, telephoned the photographer, called for Captain Fitzhugh Lee, and hurried to the riding course at Rock Creek park. For more than an hour the president rode gracefully in front of the photographer, usually leaping his horse over hurdles. Some splendid negatives were obtained and Mr. Roosevelt feels more than justified in postponing the cabinet meeting. One pose in particular, where the president is smiling as he sits on his horse while going over a hurdle, is deemed good enough to have warranted almost any halt in government machinery. FAMILY TREE FAMILY TREE Washington at least once a year. After leaving school Grant went to California for his health and later moved to that state with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. U. S. Grant, Jr. After spending some time in the coast state he returned to Washington and entered a bank. While banking he was associated with Edward Wrenshall, the father of his fiancée, and Mr. Smith. He soon left the bank and went back to California, but not until he had the consent of his sweetheart to become his wife. After going to the coast he soon left banking and started in the real estate business, which he still follows. His father, U. S. Grant, Jr., is one of the prominent business men of San Diego. The groom is also a nephew of General Fred Grant, brigadier general of the United States army, in command of the department in the East, with head quarters in New York. The Wrenshall family, according to authentic history, is descended from Alfred the Great through Edward the Elder, whose third daughter married a count of Vermandis, the founder of the line. JUSTICE HARLAN WINS BALL GAME BY HOME RUN and delighted the fans, who were wild with enthusiasm. The ball went over the head of the center fielder and was lost in the tall grass. Before it was recovered Justice Harlan had reached the home plate, where he stood slipping a mint julep which had been prepared hurriedly for the agile Kentuckian as a reward for lining out a four-base hit and showing the younger element how to get around the bases. It is feared there will be a vacancy on the supreme bench, as "Home Run" Harlan has already received offers of contracts from a number of ball teams which are weak at the bat and need heavy hitters. KANSAS HAPPENINGS Woman Bluffed a Sheriff. Woman Bluffed a Sheriff. Sheriff George H. Myers of Salina, "got his" when he went to Cincinnati to arrest a woman. Myers does not claim to be a pugilistic champion and he is not. Mrs. Louis Dawson landed on his solar plexus so hard that he decided he didn't want to arrest her and left for his Kansas home without her. Mrs. Dawson went to Cincinnati recently from Salina, where she had been employed by a wealthy family. She is alleged to have stolen clothing and jewelry to the amount of $75 from the woman for whom she worked. The Salina authorities traced her to Cincinnati and Myers was sent along to bring her back. Two Cincinnati detectives accompanied him to the woman's boarding place on Livingston street and Myers went in to effect the arrest. He found a sack of stolen clothing and succeeded in getting away with it, but Mrs. Dawson will remain there, thanks to her right hand swings that landed on the anatomy of the Kansas sheriff. The local police offered to help effect the arrest, but Myers said he was in a hurry to get back home. Best Known Madstone In view of the mad dog scare in Wichita and elsewhere throughout the state, a number of madstones have come to light in various Kansas towns. The most widely known is probably located at Paola, and is owned by Mrs. Lizzie D. Dollar. The stone has come down to the present owner as an heirloom, having been brought to the United States from France. The stone Mrs. Dollar owns is shaped like and is about the same size as a common hen egg. It was this stone that was applied to the wound of former Governor St. John when he was bitten by a mad dog during his administration. In every case that the Paola stone has been applied it has always effected a cure, although several times it held to the wound for days. Has No Jurisdiction. T. F. Garver, special master in the Madison Branch case in the supreme court filed his findings of fact and of law with the court, in which he upholds the Missouri Pacific in refusing to establish a separate passenger service on the line of their road from Madison, Kan., east to Butler, Mo. Mr. Garver reaches this conclusion solely on the ground that the line of road involved in the controversy is interstate, and that the railroad board and the Kansas courts have no jurisdiction over it. On the merits of the case, he finds entirely in favor of the people demanding more passenger train service on the Madison branch. Was Not Stampeded. The Gazette is probably the only paper in Kansas that has refused to take the green bugs seriously, observes Charley Finch. It has never been stamped by him, and has never feared him. It does not believe now that he did any great damage to the wheat, and doubts if he is capable of doing much. It was giver out that he was devastating the fields but that a good hard rain would stop him. It has done that since the time when the foxes with kerosene lamps on their tails were turned loose in it. The green bugs are the wunks of entomology. Come Under the Ban. The state university chemists have found that six out of the eight malts sold by drug stores in place of beer contain more than two per cent of alcohol. Some contain nearly six per cent. Seventh Cavalry to Riley A telegram received at Fort Riley from the War department announced the issuance of an order for the Second squadron of the Second cavalry stationed at Fort Riley, to march from Fort Riley to Fort Des Moines for station, and the First squadron of the Thirteenth cavalry, which is stationed at Fort Riley, to march to Fort Sheridan, Ill., for station. It did not say when the transfer of troops will be made, but the transfer probably will be made before the arrival of the Seventh cavalry from the Philippine islands in July. Prof. Heath Dies Suddenly Professor E. E. Heath died of heart disease at the Union depot at Kansas City. He had just returned from Linwood. Professor Heath for years was principal of schools at Horton, and Valley Falls. He went to Kansas City two years ago. For the past year he had had charge of the schools at Linwood. The school year had just closed. He was 59 years old. Junction City Eagles Raided. The first raid to be made by the police force of Junction City's new prohibition administration was made upon the Eagle's lodge. The officers secured search and seizure warrants for the Eagles club and captured fifteen cases of beer. Dentists at Topeka. The thirty-sixth annual convention of the Kansas State Dental association held a three days' session in Topeka. About 300 members were there. 1910 MRS. LENORA, BODENHAMER MRS. LENORA-BODENHAMER. Mrs. Lenora Bodenhamer, R.F. D. 1. Box 99, Kernersville, N.C., writes: "I suffered with *stomach trouble* and indigestion for some time, and nothing that I ate agreed with me. I was very nervous and experienced a continual feeling of *uneasiness* and *fear*. I took medicine from the doctor, but it did me no good. "I found in one of your Peruna books a description of my symptoms. I then wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice. He said I had catarrh of the stomach. I took Peruna and Manalin and followed his directions and can now say that I feel as well as I ever did. "I hope that all who are afflicted with the same symptoms will take Peruna, as it has certainly *cured me.*" The above is only one of hundreds who have written similar letters to Dr. Hartman. Just one such case as this entities Peruna to the candid consideration of every one similarly afflicted. If this be true of the testimony of one person what ought to be the testimony of hundreds, yes thousands, of honest, sincere people. We have in our files a great many other testimonials. About Even. "Do you think an editor or an orator stands the better show as a candidate?" "It's about an even thing," answered the cynical citizen.
