The Rising Son

Ten Thousand Negroes Read the Last Issue 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. The Astute Editor of the Plain Dealer---His Allegorical Remarks Concerning the Rising Son. VOLUME XI. The Printing Press was invented in the 14th century in England. One of the High Priest of the church in commenting upon it sald; "God has given unto man a powerful weapon." Would to God that it shall be ever used for right. During the time of Macanley the press began to take the place of oratory to put the truth before the people. The press is on the same plane with oratory whoseover shall deceive the people with this weapon shall be rendered as weak as a child. In all this there is a two-fold meaning be sure you are right and then go ahead. This brings us down to the allegorical remarks made by the Editor of the Plain-Dealer. In our first premises we wish to state that we are not upholding the woman whose letters we published, but we as the representatives of the people thought the crime committed by a so-called high minister of the Gospel was greater than the publicity of the letters exposed by us with the signature of the woman attached. Where ignorance is bliss; it is folly to be wise. Therefore, where a man of high standing in the most solemn position he can occupy lowers himself so much as to stoop, you know Mr. Editor of Plain-Dealer that his first step on the downward road has been taken. Now let us lay bare the facts you said you think or we think the woman has a big heart, but why do you think so because when you called she gave you a years subscription and told you the whole truth concerning the matter? Please answer? Mr. Plaindealer you say some call it tainted money. What do you call it? You accepted some of it for the subscription of your paper. You also say, that class of persons who tell her that she is right and aid her in fostering and holstering up this kind of stuff for newspapers are no good and serve a purpose for scandal—mongers, alley rats and night pirates, whose sole aim is to WASHINGTON LETTER The first appeal taken by the government under the law enacted by the last Congress giving the United States the right to appeal in certain classes of criminal cases, which was docketed in the Supreme Court recently, will determine whether the Federal government, under the fourteenth amendment, has the right to punish lynchers where the State authorities fail to act. The appeal, which is in the case of Robert Powell, grew out of the action of a mob at Huntsville, Ala., in September, 1904, in storming the county jail, which was guarded by the sheriff's deputies and a whole company of the Alabama national guard, and taking Horace Maples, a colored man charged with the murder of a white farmer, from the structure and hanging him in the courthouse yard. Hon W. T. Vernon, Register of the Treasury, the silver tongued orator, has gone to Xenia to attend the commencement exercises of Wilberforce University. Dr. Vernon is an alumnus of Wilberforce. Sensitual dispatches were sent to various daily newspapers of the country recently, stating that Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the Treasury, was "masquerading as a white man." The dispatch carried its own refutation when it named a number of national and local "colored" organizations with which Mr. Adams is connected. To those who are personally acquainted with Mr. Adams, and even the thousands who have any knowledge of his career, the charge is ridiculous, for they know that he has practically spent drag such men as Hurse down to her level, and take all the ready cash from her. Now Auteur Editor of the Plaindealer you first began your article by misspelling the word "Son". Were you at the time of your writing thinking of the Universal Sun or were you thinking at all. If you remember, did you not ask how much was in it? Did you not come to me and ask me to introduce you to the woman? Did I not tell you my paper was not run in that manner? Did I not tell you that my paper was supported by the advertisements of the large white business firms and the combined support of the honest Negro citizens. In what manner do we serve a purpose for the scandal-mongers, alley rafts and night pirates? Because we are showing them that a Preacher who would act in that manner was no better than they? Is that it? Please answer? You also say let us all get busy and do more in advancing something along business lines, and let Annie Jones remain on Fourth with her fifth. In part of this I agree, but was she not remaining on Fourth until the man you are championing came down there. Mr. Editor we are not desirious of engaging in a battle of words with you, but we will say the mighty ocean has its limit. "Thus far and no farther." The allusion is, you live in Topeka, you are running your paper into Topeka, so remain in Topeka. The Press is used for the exposure of dirt and the suppressing of wrong. Heretofore in all of your articles you have made a clean sweep for right. Has the Plaindealer left its mooring? Is the Pilot at its head keeping the rudder straight. Let Newpaper men work for their own common good in fighting for the right of the people. Let the Plain dealer run Topeka, and let the Rising Son run Kansas City and let us as Editors get together and fight for right. his whole life for the uplifting of the race. While yet in his teens he was appointed a teacher in the Colored public schools of Louisville, Ky., and also became the editor of The Bulletin, a paper published in the interest of the Colored race. A prominent colored man, a self-appointed protector of the white people, called their attention to the strong editorials which Adams was writing in defence of the race and they saw to it that he was not reappointed as teacher the following school year. Adams then went to Chicago, where for twenty-three years he has edited The Appeal a paper which has struck sledgehammer blows for the race. He has also contributed many articles on the race questions to the magazines. Mr. Adams is a life member of the National Afro-American Council; he was the first person to pay $50 for membership. Mr. Adams was the first to become a life member of the National Negro Business League, of which organization he is also transportation agent and he is president of the National Afro-American Press Association. Mr. Adams says that the statement that he blackballied Mr. Wilkerson, who applied for membership in the Washington Philatelic Society, is absolutely false. He voted for him and for every other person who has ever been proposed for membership. The dispatch was evidently the work of some local Annalias for Mr. W. Calvin Chase, one of the District's most prominent citizens and the editor of The Bee who was charged as being at the head of a movement against Mr. Adams, declares that there is no such movement on foot and Mr Wilkerson says that he does not even know Mr Adams and that he is not connected wit午 movement having the case as a basis of operation. Mr. Daniel Murray, one of the assistant librarians of Congress, is doing a great work for the race in the preparation of an Afro-American Bibliography. He finds that more than 5,000 different books have been written by colored men and that colored men have composed more than 3,000 pieces of music. Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, the new auditor for the Navy Department, has made an innovation which is very pleasing to the messengers in his bureau who have done flunkey work without compensation. For many years it has been the custom for the messengers to shave the auditor, deputy auditor, and chiefs of divisions, and shine their shoes. Believing that the messengers' time should be given wholly to their official duties, he called them before him and informed them that they could cut out the shaving and shining stump, as they would not be allowed in the future to spend government time in personal service for the heads of the office. Col. Scott, Superintendent of the Military Academy, has made the conduct of the colored troopers stationed at that, place the subject of a special report to the War Department, which is of interest. Col. Scott says the conduct of the Negro troops since they have been at West Point has been admirable and flawless; indeed much better than that of the white regulars who preceded them at the post. At the recent meeting of the Colored Men's Business League the following officers were elected for a term of one year: J. A. Lankford, president; W. H. Davis and Edward Rowser, secretaries; William L. Polard, treasurer; Daniel Freeman, first vice-president; Dr. Mary Williams, second vice-president; W. R. Griffin, third vice-president and J. B. Nickerson, sergeant-at-arms. William T. Vernon, register of the treasury, was elected a member. The following delegates were elected to represent the District of Columbia in the annual convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to meet in Topeka, Kan., August 15, 16 and 17: J. A. Lankford, John C. Daney, W. Calvin Chase, William L. Pollard, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Arthur W. Gray, Dr. W. H. Davis, Charles W. Brown, George Forest William T. Vernon, Mrs. L. R. Clark, Dr. Mary Williams, Daniel Freeman, James W. Poe, and Alex W. Underdown. Dr. Davis then addressed the meeting on the advancement of the race in the District along certain lines and the good the local business league has done and can do. Howard University was founded on the 15th of November, 1867, and it is proposed to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of that event when the date comes around next fall. Arrangements have already begun. President Wilbur Patterson Kirkeldh has conferred with President Roosevelt, who is expected to be the principal figure in the ceremonies, and a committee of the alumni has been organized to promote the success of the occasion. It is proposed to commemorate the event by raising the fund for a new building which is greatly needed to accommodate the 46,000 volumes which are now overcrowding the present library. The occasion will call back to Washington many of the 3,000 alumni for a reunion, and such a gathering will do more than anything else that could be planned to stimulate interest in the institution. The new president, Dr. Thirkield will be inaugurated at that time. Rev. Dr. H. N. Newsome of Mobile, Ala., president and general manager of the National Negro Fair Association, spoke in the Metropolitan A.M. E. Church on M street last week in the interest of his project. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES. The eight annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Topeka, Kansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14th, 15th and 16th, 1907. The Central Passenger Association is just preparing notice of its arrangement of a one and one-third round trip rate to be joined by the other passenger associations of the country for the coming meeting of the League. Mr. E. P. Booze, of Colorado Springs, Colorado, is arranging to secure a special car with a party of about twenty-five representative people of his section to attend the coming meeting of the League. Mr. F. D. Patterson, Fourth Vice President of the National League, and manager of the carriage building firm of C. R. Patterson & Sons, Greenfield, Ohio, is taking an active role in increasing the influence of the organization in the state of Ohio. A large number of delegates from this section will likely attend the Topeka session of the League than at any previous meeting. A unique feature of the coming meeting will be the presence, from the Business Course Department of Western University, Prof. Albert Ross, Director, of a number of Negro young men and women stenographers and typewriters, trained in this school, who are to be located in the convention hall, ready to take dictation for such business men who would want to correspond with their families or friends in this way during their stay in Topeka. The League will be tendered a grand picnic at the magnificent pleasure resort "Vinewood," about six miles from the city. On the evening of President Booker T. Washington's annual address, the meeting will be held in the Auditorium, a large assembly hall seating four thousand five hundred persons. The League banquet, to be served by one of the leading caterers of the state, will also be held in the Auditorium. The Topeka Choral Club of over half a hundred voices will entertain the visitors with their engaging musical renditions during the sessions. Special selections are being rehearsed. All the citizens of Topeka are assisting in every way possible to make the meeting of the League a great success. The state and city officials are cooperating with the Negro Business League officers in preparation for the visitors and a hearty welcome on all hands awaits the delegates and friends. Among those who will formally welcome the League attendants are, Hon. E. W. Governor of the State Mayor William Green, and Hon. C. K. Holiday. The later will represent the Commercial Club of Topeka. The Committee on Home and Location have arranged for all visitors and League members to be taken care of at an average rate of $1.00 per day for board. There will be no attempt to hold up the delegates on this item. The officers of the Topeka League have just issued a special invitation to all members of the National League and their friends urging them to attend the meeting and assuring them a profitable and interesting stay in Kansas. Detailed information along any line and especially as to accommodations can be furnished by Mr. Ira C. Guy, Vice President of the National Negro Business League, 311 West, 14th Street, Topeka, Kansas. The sooner the people are rid of all the Negro imposters in the various public positions, the better for the race. Have you been to the new Arlington Theatre? If not, why not, and when are you going? The Son knows everything that goes on in this city, so be careful and help us make our race a deserving one. Stand for something. A Square Deal to all and Special Privileges to None. A Square Deal to all and Special Privileges to None. The paper is endeavoring to show that it can just as strongly endorse a man as it can repudiate one. In our stand for the great body of Negroes in this city we wish to show the people we are trying to be just and fair. For this reason we take for our sketch Dr. J. N. Birch who has hardly been among us over six years and during that time nits sincere work shows for itself. There are many others whose names will DR. J. N. M. B. B. DR J. N.

At this time he has installed another new instrument called "The Inhalitorium for the treatment of consumption, Asthma, Syphilis, Incipient Phthistis and Catarrah.

Believing this will help in a small way to improve the sanitary condition of the Negro. Besides this he has a beautiful house on Garfield and also his own splendid residence. So you see the paper is taking an honest stand to weed out the good from the bad. To show who is making good and who is not. If our position in pointing toward the accumulating Negro citizen is prompted from a purely unselfish motive does it not conclusively, show that we are not trying to run a sensational paper, but that in our fight for right we are running a paper of the people, by the people and for the people. This paper should not need to deny any charge of gratting, for everybody knows that we have stood in this community for nothing but right. Another, thing we would not be guilty of accepting money from that source. If any one knows the public should know we stand for right without asking compensation. Knowing well that the public will uphold us.

Columbia University Gets Special Building for Religious Activities. Columbia University. New York city, has just dedicated one of the most beautiful chapels in America as the center of the religious life of the students. Never until now has the university had a special building set apart for re- ligious worship. The new structure is situated at the eastern side of the library, in a position to correspond with Earl Hall, and is in many respects unique in its architecture and construction. An attempt has been made to erect a building whose exterior shall harmonize with the surrounding college buildings, and yet to impart a tone of age to its appearance. The material is overburned or Harvard brick and Indiana limestone. The style is of the north Italian architecture of the fifteenth century. The interior is of Norman brick, and it is said that this building is the first one where the tiling and brick remain uncovered. The effect is of unusual warmth and harmony of color. Every visible architectural line counts in the construction. The size of the building is a surprise, as the spring of the dome gives an idea of space not appreciated from the outside view. The chapel is of cruciform plan, with a seating capacity of about 1,200. No seats are to be built on the floor, however, and the exquisite mosaic will be left in unconcealed beauty. Seats are built in the transept galleries, explains, Christian Herald, and, when occasion demands, chairs will be arranged on the floor, as in the cathedrals abroad. Sixteen memorial windows by Maltland Armstrong are let into the walls of the dome, while the chancel is glorious with three stained glass windows by La Farge, representing Paul preaching on Mars' Hill. MORE STUDENTS THAN ROOM. Work of the Union Theological Seminary of China. Under the auspices of the Northern and Southern Presbyterian mission in mid-China this seminary was opened in October last with over 20 pupils, with more to come. Rev. J. C. Garrett writes: "We are already unable to give room to all who desire to come to us. If the church at home will give her missionaries the facilities for training men for the gospel ministry, the men will be forthcoming. There are not as many as we need; there are few of the best educated and more talented seeking his work; there is no inducement whatever toward the ministry as a profession, as compared with teaching business, official or public employment. But there are young men in the church who hear a call to the ministry; and if we do our share in the preparation of these men, we shall have done the most effective mission work possible at this important crisis." Recreation for Canal Workers. The government, realizing the importance of having clean and wholesome amusement for the men at work on the Panama canal zone, has agreed to back up the social work of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian associations along the canal. Mr. A. Bruce Minear has been working in Panama for some time, and the association has just dispatched four other trained and experienced men to his aid—Messrs. W. H. Baxley, J. F. McTyler, M$, J. Stickel and R. R. Wolf. All of these will be placed on the pay roll of the government. Four club houses have been already erected and four more will soon be put up. Those now ready for use are located at Culebra, Empire, Cristobal and Gorgona. An Encouraging Outlook. The Rev. S. R. Smith, of the Niger mission of the English Church Missionary society, writes from Onitsha, West Africa: "The possibilities of work in this district are enormous, and every week I am receiving deputations asking for teachers from towns which were once a terror to their neighborhood. I am sure that the millions of Ilo-speaking people have a great future before them, especially if they can be induced to turn their attention to the development of the soul. During the past four months there have been over 150 adult baptisms and there are many more ready to be baptized." The Main Lesson. A minister was questioning his Sunday school concerning the story of Eutychus, the young man who, listening to the preaching of the Apostle Paul, fell asleep, and falling out of a window, was taken up dead. "What," he asked, "do we learn from this solemn event?" The reply from a little girl came: "Please, sir, ministers should learn not to preach too long sermons." Big Year's Work. Ichowfu.—Number of patients treated in the hospitals and Dispensaries, men and women for the year, 26,610 FAILED IN SMALL THINGS. Congressman Evidently Was No Hero to His Wife. There is a certain congressman who, whatever authority he may hold in the councils of state, is of comparatively minor importance in his own household. Indeed, it has been unkindly intimated that his wife is "the whole thing" in their establishment. Representative and Mrs. Blank had been to Baltimore one afternoon. When they left the train at Washington, on their return, Mrs. Blank discovered that her umbrella, which had been intrusted to the care of her husband, was missing. "Where's my umbrella?" she demanded. "I'm afraid I've forgotten it, my dear," meekly answered the congressman. "It must still be in the train." "In the train!" snorted the lady. "And to think that the affairs of the nation are intrusted to a man who doesn't know enough to take care of a woman's umbrella!"—Success Magazine. PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE Benefits from New Law, Which Remains Substantially Unchanged. Through the influence of Gov. Hughes, the New York Legislature decided to make no radical changes in the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has already accomplished widespread reforms, with proportionate benefits to policyholders, and that it should be given a thorough trial before any amendments were seriously considered. It is estimated that the cost of the mismanagement of the past did not average more than 20 cents to each policyholder while the benefits to present and future policyholders will amount to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed craze of the big companies and the excessive cost of securing new business was the most extravagant evil of the old managements. Under the new regime the cost of new business has already been greatly reduced, along with other economies. The showing made by the Equitable Life Assurance Society in its report for 1906 was a strong argument against meddling with the new law. In the Equitable alone there was a saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses, besides an increase in the income from the Society's assets amounting to as much more. The ratios of the Equitable's total expenses to its total income was 19.42% in 1904, 17.38% in 1905, and only 14.48% in 1906. The dividends paid to Equitable policyholders in 1906 amounted to $7,289,734, which was an increase of more than 9% over 1905. While the Equitable made a better showing than any other big company, all reported radical economies and under such conditions the Legislature wisely decided to leave the law substantially as it stands. GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES. Double Enders Popular Among Smokers in Mexico. "Mexico may be behind us in some things, but she has us lashed to the wheel when it comes to making matches," said a man just in from the land of the Montezumas as he handed out a wax lucifer with a head on each end. "I saw nothing but double ended matches while I was away, and I can tell you that they save one's record with the Recording Angel. If you dig down in your pocket and find one match the chances are that you are sure of a light, because if one end goes out the other is left. These old time matches, just revived, that splutter brilliant sparks may be all right when it comes to pleasing the baby, but the fellow who puts on the market a double ended match will find a ready demand." Would Take What They Had. A gentleman purchased at a post office a large quantity of stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers and other postal requisitions. Finding them somewhat difficult to carry, he asked one of the counter clerks if he could supply him with a small quantity of string. "We are not permitted by the department to supply string," was the reply. "Then give me a bit of red tape," was the sarcastic retort. The string was supplied. WENT TO TEA And It Wound Her Bobbin. Tea drinking frequently affects people as badly as coffee. A lady in Salisbury, Md., says that she was compelled to abandon the use of coffee a good many years ago, because it threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-five pounds and no food seemed to agree with her. She further says: "As this time I was induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and was so much pleased with the results that I have never been without it since. I commenced to improve at once, regained my twenty-five pounds of flesh and went some beyond my usual weight." "I know Postum to be good, pure, and healthful, and there never was an article, and never will be. I believe, that does so surely take the place of coffee, as Postum Food Food. The beauty of it all is that it is satisfying and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as if I could not sing its praises too loud." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." For the MODISH WOMAN American women have much to learn from their sisters in Paris as to the art of wearing tailor-made gowns, for it is certain that no women in the world equal the Parisiennes in this difficult art. Nature has made them exceedingly careful of details, and this in every walk of life, and from early youth they are taught to regard dress as an affair of paramount importance. To a Parisienne it is a matter of vital importance that the dainty little purse carried in the hand should harmonize with some other detail—with the sporting-looking little necktie, perhaps, or with the embroideries on the waistcoat of pale-hued suede. Everything has its own meaning and nothing is too small to lack importance. It is natural to French-women to look at the subject from this point of view and this is why they can—when they wish to do so—dress perfectly on a comparatively small income. A peculiarity of the Parisian evening gowns this season is the close resemblance which they bear to teagowns. There is the same graceful flow of supple material and the same vague outline. The Parisiennes revel in this particular mode and invest it with exceeding charm and grace. They never permit their picture gowns A M. Original Designs for Smart Gowns. to look in the least like robes de chambre, and in this they display much cleverness, for a semi-loose robe has a tiresome way of looking bedroom unless worn with great discretion. The picture styles which are making themselves so strongly felt in the world of fashion this year are specially prominent where evening dresses are concerned, not so much with regard to gowns for dinners, of ceremony as for those to be worn at bridge parties and receptions amongst intimate friends. A leading feature of the new bridge gowns is the hanging sleeve, which can hardly be called "angel," but which is of that order. This sleeve almost invariably falls back from the elbow, leaving the lower part of the arm quite bare. From elbow to shoulder it is often nearly tight, but the real picture sleeve falls in graceful folds all the way down. Lace of every sort is as fashionable as ever, if not more so. You may see thick guipure doing duty on the costume to left in our large illustration. The bodice is of lace, while braces and trimmings to the full sleeves are of taffeta, fringes decorating the sash ends, which are held with enamel buttons at the waist, and the plain full skirt is of volle. The other dress shows cinnamon brown cloth in combination with black and white striped silk, small bands of Irish lace being used to trim the bodice, the hat being of brown with brown shaded roses in clusters on either side. Roses have taken unto themselves every conceivable tone, the most fashionable being, of course, blue, and these are usually allied to black centers and accompanied by black leaves, a wreath of the latter appearing with considerable success round the base of the crown of an open-brimmed crinoline straw hat. But to turn to dresses of the commoner sort and of the greater utility. All combinations of black and white are prominent, and a mode which threatens to become universal includes a three-quarter coat of the simplest style in combination with a short skirt, both being made of black and white striped coarse fibered material of homespun description. Such a costume is suitable, however, only for most work-a-day occasions, and lends itself to be crowned only by straw hats trimmed with ribbons and wings or rosettes of silk, and will no doubt look its very best when worn with a white batiste or lawn shirt and permitted to take its walks in the country. Black and white check appears in every size and form; smooth of face and rough of face, it alike finds devotees, and an easy means of answering the question of what to wear at the immediate moment in the mornings can be settled by a kilted skirt of black and white check, a small coat of whatever shape that may best please and best suit you, with a white waistcoat embroidered with black braid and fastened with white pearl buttons, and a white lawn frilled shirt, crowned with a green straw hat trimmed with green rosettes, and a short green spotted veil thrown over the crown, to fall just to the nape of the neck. The veil must be short if the dress be short, the veil long if the dress be long. Here lies one of the THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY rules not to be forgotten by those who realize the advantage of graceful proportion. And again I remember that this special virtue may be accredited to the short-waisted dress, so that the lines of the waist be chosen with special care. CHURCHILL'S MAIDEN EFFORT. First Speech in Parliament Hit the Mark in Spite of Faults of Delivery. The first time I noticed Lord Randolph Churchill in the house of commons was on a May day in 1875, says a writer in Blackwood's Magazine. Sir Charles Dilke had been making merry at the expense of Woodstock, then represented by one known in the Parliamentary arena simply as a cadet of the ducal house of Marlborough. From the third bench behind that on which ministers ought to have been sitting, rose a well groomed young man, with protuberant eyes, pale face and a ponderous mustache, with which as he spoke he nervously toyed. Members asking each other: "Who's this?" learned that it was the member for Woodstock rising to defend the corporation of the borough that sent him to parliament. Though assisted by notes, on which the speech was fully written out, the young member was so nervous, his voice was badly pitched, his delivery so faulty that there was difficulty in following his argument. But here and there flashed forth a scathing sentence that made it worth while to attempt to catch the rest. When he sat down Lord Randolph had made his mark, had established himself as a personality in an assembly in which within ten years he was predominant. The Genuine Test: "Do you believe that man is a real musical critic?" "Of course he is. Does anybody ever know what he is talking about?"--Baltimore American. MISSOURI STATE NEWS Fish and Pink Bugs "The shower of fish which fell," says W. Rufus Wilson, one of the oldest inhabitants of Independence, "is not surprising to me. Back in the 40s came a surprise to people of this section which was the talk of the town for days. One day people were surprised at the sudden appearance of a pinkish looking cloud in the northwest. The rather warm winter day changed to bitter cold, and the snow began falling. Soon large flakes came down and it snowed pink bugs The pink bugs and the snow were packed closely together when they struck the earth. People of this section have never seen anything like it since that day. The bug which came down on the snowflakes was not a native of this country at all and evidently came from some far southern clime. They had hard shell backs of the pink color and wings similar to that of the beetle and evidently belonged to the beetle variety. How extensive this snow was I cannot say, but the ground was carpeted with snow and pink bugs as far as the eye could reach, and it was rather a beautiful sight. No one ever explained this phenomenon, and to tell it today would cause doubt everywhere." Mrs. Connor Gets $100,000. The efforts made by relatives of Mrs. Thomas Connor, widow of the Joplin millionaire, to get for her a child's portion of the estate were defeated by a ruling of the probate court at St. Louis, which denied the motion of her nephew to set aside the will. Mrs. Connor will receive only $100,000. Judge McEhlinney also denied several motions to have her removed from St. Vincent's asylum for the insane, in which she has been a patient many years. He held that the Jasper county courts have jurisdiction in that matter. A.

Miss Lula Swartz of Carthage has just discarded for a new one a piano that has been in use for more than 100 years. The old instrument is one of the early types of the square piano, and has four legs. It has a very peculiar finish and is quite cold in appearance. It bears the name of Woodward & Brain, Boston. The old Piano is capable of producing good music yet. Wife and Baby Won a Pardon. Emery Grubb of Dent County has been released from the penitentiary by commutation of sentence issued by Gov. Folk. Grubb's wife and baby, just beginning to walk, had been at Jefferson City for two weeks and had been daily callers at the governor's office, interceding with Speed Mosby, pardon attorney, to recommend to the governor a pardon for the husband and father. --- To Look After Missouri Food. 10 TO LOOK AFTER MISSION FOOD. Gov. Folk has appointed R. M. Washburn of Columbia as state dairy and food commissioner under the new dairy inspection and pure food law. Prof. Washburn has been state dairy commissioner under the law enacted two years ago, and his appointment under the new laws carries with it the enforcement of the state pure food law as well as the dairy law. A Freak Hailstorm. Through a remarkable freak of a hailstorm that swept Joplin, no damage was done to the greenhouse of Edward Teas, while the hot-houses of H. A. Hall, less than a mile distant, were destroyed. All cities in this district report heavy losses, the total being in the neighborhood of $5,000 Many chickens were killed and window panes were cracked. Teas' greenhouse was in the storm's path, but escaped without so much as a broken pane. 一 A Women's Board Election. At the state convention of the Christian church at Sedalia the Christian Women's board elected the following officers: Mrs. D. A. Wickizer, Kirksville, president; Mrs. W. J. Hamon, Columbia, vice president; Mrs. L. G. Bantz, St. Louis, correspondent secretary; Mrs. S. J. White Trenton, recording secretary; Mrs. J. P. Pinkerton, Plattsburg, treasurer; Miss Martha Stout, Kansas City, superintendent of the young people's department. Its First "Lid" in 172 years In accordance with the advice of the prosecuting attorney, ten saloons in Ste. Genevieve closed their doors recently and henceforth Ste. Genevieve will be "dry" on Sunday. Ste. Genevieve was founded in 1735, and this was the first and only dry Sunday the city has experienced in 175 years. Mound City Oil Inspector.

If you have none, copy one from a teacher's Bible, in rough outline, on a large sheet of paper or a blackboard. Provide circles of cardboard marked "Ja," "Jo," and "Mo." Get the class to pin these upon the places where Jacob, Joseph and Moses lived or visited. For Jacob these will be successively Beersheba, Bethel, Haran, Penel, Hebron; for Joseph, Hebron, Dothan, Tanis and Heliopolis; for Moses Memphis or Tanis, Heliopolis, the land of Midian, Horeb, Memphis again, the land of Goshen, Etham, the Red sea. The scholars will take turns fastening on these circles, and as each is put in place something will be told about the event that occurred at that locality. When the class are able to place these circles correctly, removing them and replacing them several times, then take strings, a different color for each of the three characters, and get the scholars to stretch them from one pin to another, to represent the journeys taken by each. The Three Heroes Review.—Each scholar will be asked, a week in advance, to choose one of the three heroes of the quarter's lesson—Jacob Joseph or Moses—and prepare a five minute or three-minute essay upon him, to be read the next Sunday. The teacher, of course, will see to it that each hero is treated in about the same number of essays. The Four Countries Review.—Divide the class into groups, each group to study together for this review. There will be four groups each to study one of the four countries which our quarter's lessons have entered—Canaan, Mesopotamia, Egypt and the land of Midian. Each group will be prepared to tell what events of the quarter occurred in its country, and of how that country influenced the progress of the Hebrew history. The Large Problems Review.—This form of review is best adapted to adult classes. It will consist of a series of essays or talks on the following topics: Steps in the development of the Hebrews as a nation. Steps in the development of the Hebrews' knowledge of God. How these lessons illustrate God's overruling of the mistakes and sins of men. Proof of the authenticity of these narratives. Lessons of the quarter's study for modern times. Chief lessons of the quarter for the individual Christian. Some of these topics may best be treated by a general discussion. PERU-NA FOR SPRING CATARRH. LASSITUDE. SLEEPLESSNESS. IRRITABILITY.

At a recent meeting of the Topeka commercial club it was decided to immediately inaugurate a Shawnee county good roads contest with prizes amounting to $150. These prizes will be for the best kept piece of road in the county made by the use of the King road drag from now until the regular meeting of the clud in June 1908. The money for the payment of the prizes will be hung up by the Commercial Club, the Kansas Good Roads Association and the Topeka Automobile Club, and the awarding will be under the auspices of the Kansas Good Roads Association. Similar county good roads contests have been held in other parts of the state and had been productive of much good in the cause of good roads. The contests are a great incentive to the farmers to take care of stretches of road adjoining their property. An Authority on Birds. Nine years ago, K. C. Beck, then recently married, settled on a farm near Nickerson. He made up his mind that he would devote himself principally to agricultural pursuits, but that on the side he would breed and sell fancy poultry. He started in with $30 expenditure to that end. At the end of last year he had developed a business which was estimated to be worth $20,000. Mr. Beck has a reputation nearly all over the world for its work as a breeder and importer, not only of fancy poultry but of nearly every conceivable kind of game birds. The game bird and poultry business has become almost a passion with him. Always an admirer of living things of this class, Mr. Beck has so rapidly grown in this way that he is looked upon far and wide as an authority. A. Coburn History. The March quarterly report of the Kansas board of agriculutre has been issued by F. D. Corbun, secretary of the board. This is one of the largest quarterlies Mr. Coburn has ever issued. It is more a statistical history of the state than an agricultural report. It comprises 444 pages, containing a short history of Kansas, its agricultural resources and products as a state and then a history of each county in detail with a statistical table showing the population, manufacturing and farm products and value in each county, the area, schools and the population of all cities, towns and villages. Opportunity Came His Way. Opportunity Game The Way A young man working in the Emporia railway offices saw there was need for a book giving the distance between stations that conductors might know how to "pull" the mileage in the mileage books without stopping to figure it out from the time table. He got up this book, together with the cash fares from the different stations on the middle and eastern divisions, and is selling the book to conductors and is making a big addition to his salary. Mine Inspector Names Deputies. Frank Gilday of Scranton, state mine inspector has named the following list of deputy mine inspectors: Thomas Morrissey, Leavenworth, for Leavenworth county; Joseph Ryan, Mineral, for Cherokee county; William Harvey, Peterton, for Osage county; John Haldilya, Pittsburg, for Crawford county; John Gilday, Chicopee, for Crawford and Cherokee counties; Miss Janet Bone, Pittsburg, stenographer. Small Boy and Big Fish. Bob Wilkinson caught a 36 pound catfish at El Dorado. Bob is only 13 years old and as he was alone he had quite a fight before landing it. Dead at Age of 102 Years. Jesse McDowell died at his home in Burlington at the age of 102 years from the effects of a fall received about ten days ago. Mr. McDowell had been in his usual good health up to the time of the accident when he broke several ribs, but since that time he has been falling. He has had a checkered career and served in the Mexican and Civil wars. He freighted across the mountains from Pittsburg, Pa., to Chicago, when Chicago was only a trading post. Mr. McDowell also ran a freight boat in the early days of Chicago and made a fortune at it but afterwards lost it. More Troubles for the Dunkertons. Charley and Jose Dunkerton are now under bonds amounting to $11,000 at Fort Scott. Some time ago in district court they were convicted of violating the prohibitory law. Their appeal bonds are $900. Their preliminaries were held in justice court on a perjury charge growing out of their testimony in the liquor trial and they were bound over in the sum of $1,500 each. Bankers Lost Out When Protest Came Because of protests from taxpayers alleged discrimination in equalizing assessments, the commissioners of Lyon county have placed the basis of assessment for Lyon county banks from 60 to 80 per cent. On June 3 all bank president of that county held a conference with the commissioners as a result of which the commissioners lowered the basis of assessment of the bank from 80 to 60 percent while the basis of assessment for other property remained the same SUFFERED TORTURES. Racked with Pain, Day and Night for Years. Wm. H. Walter, engineer, of Chatsworth, Ills., writes: "Kidney disease was lurking in my system for years. I had torturing pain in the side and back and the urine was dark and full of sediment. I was racked with pain day and night, could not sleep or was lurking in my system for years. I had torturing pain in the side and back and the urine was dark and full of sediment. I was racked with pain day and night, could not sleep or eat well, and finally became crippled and bent over with rheumatism. Doan's Kidney Pills brought quick relief, and in time, cured me. Though I lost 40 pounds, I now weigh 200, more than ever before." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Forgetting Something. When the train that conveyed President Roosevelt through Virginia on his last trip south stopped at Charlotteville, a negro approached the president's car and passed aboard a big basketful of fine fruit, to which was attached the card of a prominent grower. In course of time the orchardist received a letter of acknowledgment from the White House expressing the president's appreciation of the gift, and complimenting the donor upon his fruit. The recipient of the letter was, of course, greatly pleased, and, feeling sure that his head gardener would be much interested in the letter, he read it to him. The darky who served in the capacity mentioned listened gravely, but his only comment was: "He doan' say nothin' bout sendin' back de basket, do he?"—Success Magazine. 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. Not Partial to Nursing. Not long ago a young Irishman was seeking work in western Illinois, and among those to whom he applied was a farmer near Cairo. The farmer was attracted by the Celt's frank, cheery manner, and, while he was not in need of help, he asked, after a pause: "Can you cradle?" "Cradle!" repeated the Irishman. "Sure, I can! But, sir," he added, persuasively, "couldn't ye give me a job out-of-durges?" -Harper's Weekly. $100 Reward. $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is the cancer. Cancer is a disease now known to the medical fraternity. Catarin being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutive cure, and is naturally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient the opportunity to recover naturally, acting nature in doing its work.

Friend in Need B10 Heat on Tobacco Improves it Like Roasting Improves Green Coffee. Heat Develops the Stimulating Aroma and Taste found in Schnapps Tobacco and Coffee Three ways are used by farmers for curing and preparing their tobacco for the market; namely sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and improved way is called flue cured. In flue curing the tobacco is taken from the fields and racked in barns especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced by the direct heat of flame heated flues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheering and stimulating quality that popularizes their use. The quality of tobacco depends much on the curing process and the We will ship SCHNAPPS direct from factory to retail dealers in lots of 10 lbs. and over, at the established jobbing price of 40c per pound express or freight prepaid to nearest rate to which a published through rate is obtainable from point of shipment; or mail to any address a sample &c cut of SCHNAPPS and a cambridge tobacco pouch, upon receipt of &c in postage.

HE ALSO WAS A COLLECTOR. Cleveland Artist Came Back with a Counter Proposition. A local newspaper artist got a letter one day from a man over in Indiana who said he was making a collection of sketches, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "I have drawings from well known newspaper artists in nearly every state in the union," the Indiana man wrote, "but I have none from Ohio. I have seen some of your work and I think it is good. If you will send me some little sketch for my collection I shall have it framed." The artist noticed from the letterhead that the Indiana man was connected with a bank in one of the small towns in the state of literature. That gave him a hunch, and he wrote back as follows: "I am making a collection of ten dollar bills. I haven't secured specimens from every state in the union, but I have several tens and a few twenties, and I am particularly anxious to have a ten dollar bill from Indiana. I notice that you are employed in a place where ten dollar bills are kept, and if you send me one for my collection I shall be glad to have it framed." BLACK, ITCHING SPOTS ON FACE. Physician Called It Eczema in Worst Form—Patient Despaired of Cure— Cuticura Remedies Cured Her. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of _____. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in the worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally I became despondent and decided to discontinue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mrs. Lizzie E.

That's why chewers prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps cheers more than any other chewing tobacco, and that's why chewers of Schnapps pass the good thing along one chewer makes other chewers, until the fact is established that there are more chewers and more pounds of tobacco chewed to the population in states where Schnapps tobacco is sold than there are in those states where Schnapps has not yet been offered to the trade. MRS. SADIE ABBOTT Women for the most part spend their lives at home, and it is these women who are willing and ambitious that their homes shall be kept neat and pretty, their children well dressed and tidy, who do their own cooking, sweeping, dusting and often washing, ironing and sewing for the entire family, who call for our sympathy. Truly the work of such a woman is "never done" and is it any wonder that she breaks down at the end of a few years, the back begins to ache, there is a displacement, inflammation or ulceration of the abdominal organs, a female weakness is brought on, and the struggle of that wife and mother to continue her duties is pitiful. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from native roots and herbs, is the exact medicine a woman needs whose strength is overtaxed. It keeps the feminine organs in a strong and healthy condition. In preparing for childbirth and recuperating therefrom it is most efficient. It carries a woman safely through the change of life and in making her strong and well assists her to be a good wife and mother. Mrs. Sadie Abbott, of Jeannette, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham— I am perfectly with pain every month and also a pain in my left side. My doctor prescribed for me but did me no good; a friend advised Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I wrote you in regard to my condition. I followed your advice and am a perfectly well woman. The pain is not severe, and I cannot recommend your publication too highly. LEWIS' SINGLE BINDER STRAIGHT 5 CIGAR You Pay 10c. for Cigars Not so Good. F.P. LEWIS Peoria, Ill MRS.

LIST OF PRICES: President Roosevelt Said: 95,000 Acre Ranch of Dr. Chas. F. Simmons Now On the Market. Here is Your Opportunity to Buy a Farm of from 10 Acres to 640 and Two Town Lots in This "Garden Spot" for $210. Payable $10 per Month Without Interest. Investigation will show that this 95,000 acres comprises one of the finest bodies of Agricultural and Truck Farming land in the entire state, commencing about 36 miles south of San Antonio and about two miles south of Pleasanton (the county seat of Atascosa County), and extending through Atascosa and a part of McMullen Counties, to within 17 miles of my 60,000 acre Live Oak County Ranch, which I in four months last year, sold to 4,000 Home Seekers, on liberal terms, without interest on deferred payments, which gives the poor man, from his savings, a chance to secure a good farm and town lot for his home in town. I will donate and turn over to three bonded Trustees, $250,000 from the proceeds of the sale of this property to the purchasers, as a bonus to the first railroad built through this property on the line which I shall designate. This property is located on that middle plain between East Texas, where it rains too much, and the arid section of West Texas, where it does not rain enough. Its close proximity to San Antonio, the largest city in the State, with a claimed population of over 100,000, enhances its value as a market for Agricultural and Truck farm products far beyond the value of similar land not so favorably located. Topography. Level to slightly rolling. Large, broad, rich valleys, encircled by elevations suitable for homes: 90 per cent. fine farming land, balance pasture land. Forestry Ash, Elm, Gum, Hackberry, Live Oak, Mesquite, Pecan, abundant for shade, fencing and wood. Soil. About 60 per cent, rich, dark, sandy loam, balance chocolate or red sandy loam, usually preferred by local farmers, and each with soil averaging from 2 to 4 feet deep, with clay subsoll, which holds water. Climate. Mild, balmy, healthy, practically free from malaria, few frosts, no snow, no hard freezes; continuous sea breeze moderates extremes of heat and cold, producing warm winters and cool summers. Average temperature about 62 degrees. Rainfall. From the Government record, it is safe to assume that the rainfall on this property has been fully 35 inches per year, which is more than some of the old States have had, and is plentiful for ordinary crops properly cultivated, and for Grass Growing. Improvements and Water. This property is fenced and cross-fenced in many large and small pastures, with four barbed wires, with posts about 12 feet apart. Also a number of fine shallow wells. Also a number of fine Lakes and Tanks. Also, a number of fine flowing Artesian Wells, whose crystal streams flow for miles and miles down those creeks, whose broad, rich valleys, irrigable from those continuously flowing streams, make it the ideal place for the Marketing Gardener who desires to raise from two to three crops of marketable produce on the same ground every year. This land is adapted to profitable culture of Beans, Cabbage, Celery, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Beets, Carrots, Onions, Radish, Squash, Strawberries, Cauliflower, Okra, Oyster Plant, Peas, Rasberries, Turnips, Apricots, Cantaloupes, Grapes, Irish Potatoes, Olives, Sweet Potatoes, Bananas, Dates, English Walnuts, Figs, Melons, Peanuts, Barley, Blackberries, Broom Corn, Lemons, Plums, Tobacco, Alfalfa, Rye, Oranges, Peaches, Pecans, Corn, Cotton, Oats, Wheat, Apples, Pears. Page 63 of the book entitled "Beautiful San Antonio," officially issued by the Business Men's Club of San Antonio, dated May, 1906, says: "It is readily conceded by all those who know anything about Texas that the most prolific agricultural section is that which recognizes San Antonio as its logical center, particularly that portion directly south of San Antonio, with the Gulf of Mexico bordering on the southeast and the Rio Grande bordering on the south and west. "Within the last four or five years, in the territory named, special attention has been given to growing vegetables, they maturing at a time when they secure the maximum prices on Northern markets, which markets they virtually invade without a competitor. The profit in growing vegetables in this territory will be seen by an examination of the following figures, secured from reliable sources, showing "Beans and Peas from $100.00 to $125.00. "Tomatoes from $125.00 to $400.00. "Potatoes from $60.00 to $150.00. "Onions from $150.00 to $800.00. "Tabasco Peppers from $500.00 to $900.00 per acre. "The Chicago Record-Herald publishing the following individual experiences in South Texas: "Men who came here with $500 and $600 a few years ago are now independently rich. "A young man who came to this country for his health, bought 18 acres and in one year cleared over $6,000 from it, which was $333.33 per acre. "Another man, 65 years old, from 79 acres, sold $5,000 worth of produce, from which he realized $63.29 per acre and then raised a Cotton crop on part of it, which made him $35 per acre, which made the same land net him $98.29 per acre for that year. "Another man from 80 acres in 1904 realized as follows: From Onions, $2,226.91; from Cotton, $1,800; 200 bushels Corn; 12 tons Hay; 5,000 pounds Sweet Potatoes. "Another made $3,200 from five acres of early Cabbage, which was $610 per acre, and grew a second crop of Corn and Peas on the same ground that year. "Another realized $27,000 from 90 car loads of Cabbage, averaging $300 per car, which was $207.69 from each of the 130 he acres he had planted. "Another netted, above all expenses, $60 per acre on Potatoes, and planted the same ground in Cotton that year from which he realized $55 per acre, which made that ground yield him $95 per acre. "Another realized $32,966 from 230 acres in Melons, which was $143.33 per acre. "Another netted $21,000 from 35 acres in Onions, which was $600 per acre. "Another netted $17,445, or $79.25 per acre from nine cuttings of 220 acres in Alfalfa, which yielded in one year 2,475 tons and sold at $11 per ton. "Another received $900 from one acre in Cauliflower; sown in July, transplanted in August, and marketed in December." The same authority quotes the following statement from the Hon. Joseph Daily, of Chillicothe, Ill., who owns thousands of acres in the Illinois Corn Belt. He says: "I am one of the heaviest taxpayers on farm lands in Mason and Tazewell Counties, Illinois, and I have been familiar with the conditions around San Antonio for 12 years. Any thrifty farmer can get rich, and make more money off of this cheap land, acre for acre, than any land in the State of Illinois, that seils from $150 to $225 per acre."

Where the climate is so mild that the Northern farmer here save practically all his fuel bills and three-fourths the cost of clothing his family in the North.

Where the same land yields the substantials of the temperate and the luxuries of the tropic zones. Where the farmer does not have to work hard six months in the year to raise feed to keep his stock from dying during the winter, as they do in the North and Northwest. Where there are no aristocrats and people do not have to work hard to have plenty and go in the best society. Where the natives work less and have more to show for what they do than in any country in the United States. Where houses, barns and fences can be built for less than half the cost in the North. Where sunstrokes and heat prostrations are unknown. Where sufferers with Asthma, Bronchitis, Catarrch, Hay Fever and Throat Troubles find relief. Where, surrounded by fruits and vegetables, which ripen every month in the year, the living is better and less expensive than in the North. Where the water is pure, soft and plentiful. Where the taxes are so low that the amount is never missed. Where Public and Private Schools and Churches of all denominations are plentiful. Where peace, plenty and good will prevail. Where it is so healthy that there are few physians and most of them, to make a living supplement their income from other business. $1,000 Reward will be paid to any one proving that any statement in this advertisement is not true.

Upton Sinclair, in an address before a body of Chicago Socialists, said of charity: "The average charity, the charity of the rich, seems rather futile to me. The rich oppress the poor enormously, then they help them slightly. It is like the young lady angler. "Why,' said a man to this young lady, 'do you always carry a bottle of liniment with you on your fishing excursions?" She sighed. "I am sorry," she said plantively, 'for the poor little fish. And so, when I take one off the hook, I always rub its cut mouth with some liniment.'" 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.

The Web of Life. Life is the daily web of character we unconsciously weave.

D. Gordon. The Eternal Woman. It is because it is always impossible to know how a woman will act, to grasp the workings of her mind, to pierce the vell that hides the innermost recesses of her soul, that she has held such complete sway over man. He can never definitely rely upon her. —London World. Give Defiance Starch a fair trial—try it for both hot and cold starching, and if you don't think you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

A mass meeting was held at the St. Soehnens Baptist church last Sunday night for the purpose of denouncing the Rising Son, but it appeared more like a north end convention in the church of God on a Sunday night than a mass meeting to cause the word of truth. At $.50 oclock Rev. Hurse, pastor read from the 15th chapter of St. Matt. A prayer was offered. Then Rev. Hurse announced that the Hon. Nelson C. Crews was in the house and was endeavoring to get the speakers together. He also announced that Nick Childs of the Plaindealer, Tooake, Kansas was present. He highly endorsed the Plaindealer, said it was the greatest neuro paper in the West. It was at this juncture that Floyd Smith and the Hon. J. C. Chastine were called to the platform. At 9 oclock Floyd made a short speech urging the negroes of the church to stand by their preacher. Rev. Hurse then introduced J. C. Chastine and as board by the reporter of the Son Chastine proved a boomerang in their midst. He spoke out for right as he has always done on every occasion. He said in part: I am indeed glad to be present on such an occasion. He further said if any man was guilty of wrong doing he should be punished. He said, too, that the men should let the women alone if they were not looking to or expecting to be humilated. Again he said he had a beautiful wife and a daughter of 16 whom he thought was virtuous, and I defy any man to fool around them. Get a woman of your own and leave other women alone. There was no aplaeuse when he sat down as this was not what they had expected at St. Stephen's Church. His speech had a tendency to humilate and consure Hurse and uphold the Son than to defend his actions. Chastine had also said in the course of his speech that the church might split half in to account of the trouble as he knew it did once before, at this Hurse sprang to his feet and explained, "No St!' my church never did split. Chastine also said I was not looking through the key hole to see what the Rev. Hurse was doing in the room." At this remark there was a great roar of laughter. He said again! Now friends I have nothing to say against the Rising Son paper, as they have a right to print all kinds of news for the benefit of the public, but I will say that the greatest crime that could be comitted by my people is that of hiding dirt, and the wrongs of other people. Mr. Chastine said he did not care to be called to St. Stephen's Church again to try Rev. Hurse for any of his wrongs. Rev. Hurse at this remark sprang to his feet again very indignant, and said, "I am not on trial as I am innocent of any crime. Some of the audience cried Amen, Thank God, and a few places you could bear bites against Hurse. Floyd Smith, President of the Hod Carriers Union was next introduced. His remarks were very short, asking the people to stand by Hurse as every man had a weakness, and that no one could live up to the ten commandments. It was plainly noticeable that not a single speaker attempted to defend Rev Hurse as being innocent except Nelson C. Crews, but they all by their expressions admitted his guilt and urged the church to stand by him and throw around him the veil of sympathy and charity. Prof. I. M. Horton. Principal of Page School called on the members to uphold their preacher, though he were guilty, as he had proved himself a master and general of men. The Hon. Nelson C. Crews was next introduced. He was introduced by Rev. Hurse as the great hero of the west. His speech was very lengthy, lasting a few minutes shorter than an hour. He referred several times to the Edito rof the Rising Son as a black scoundrel, plump and thief. He said he was now holding a warrant for his arrest. At this several in the audience hissed him. The house was fairly crowded. Several times during Crews' speech, trying to prove his innocence, and prove the Editor a secondred. Rev. Hurse jumped up, leaping to his feet he cried in a frantic tone, "My blood is boiling! Oh, my blood is boiling." The Rising Son has been criticized by a few of Hurse's friends, but she has the support and sentiment of the entire public. After the meeting, and even while it was in progress, there was a mob demonstration outside against the stand of Nelson C. Crews. This was partly due to the speech of the Hon. J. C. Chastine, as it showed the whole meeting up in its true color and what the objects of the speakers was. Rev. R. P. Christian preached a Seminute closing sermon, subject, "Fleed My Cause, O God." Reporter, Rising Son. Dr. J. H. Jones, who formerly had his office at 805 Independence Ave., is now at 1307 East Eighteenth St. over Smith's Drug store. He is without doubt an excellent physician and none have shown a more thorough knowledge of the diseases of women than he. The ladies whom he has treated are walking testimonials of his success. He is steadily building up a practice among them. The merit he shows in one case brings another as well as an increasing confidence and general practice.

The fighting affoy in which Sanry Edwarda a well-known Negro of Kansas City came to his death is a very sad incident indeed. Allowing personal feelings on the part of the Public he be dismissed one can stand on an impartial Platform and judge the incident. Both were from the romor of their friends good fellows. Edwarda was born and reared in a small town in Central Missouri. He was a bright copper colored Negro, of very poor parentage, but he had a bright mind. He left the country town when quite young and started for Kansas City. His great ambition was making money. He and his brother, Will Edwards, long since dead, began their career in Kansas City, as back-drivers. Later Sandy became a railroad porter. Sandy opened up a pool hall and saloon on West Fourth. This was during the boom in Kansas City in the eighties. Being a young green country boy he drifted into places where craps were being played and it is for this reason that he engaged in that kind of business. It is said that he never desired that kind of business, only because of his longing to accumulate money, and because this was one of the fast means that he continued in it. It was also stated that he intended to get out of the business by the 1st of the year and start along, some other line. He had built him an elegant residence, and was very desirous of changing his mode of business. Save for this one objectionable feature Sandy was a splendid fellow as is the common talk around the city. It is also greatly to be regretted that the shooting was done by Leon Jordon, a Kansas City boy. Born in the state of Kansas, his family moved to this city when he was quite a lad. Leon Jordon was educated in the grade and high school of this city. After finishing here he attended Lincoln Institute where he took the higher branches. Young Jordon before he became manager of a club had occupied several prominent positions in the city. He was appointed United States Deputy Marshall. He was elected Alternate Delegate-at-Large to the Minneapolis and St. Louis Convention. He also held a position in the County Sheriff's Office, besides occupying a prominent position in Washington, D. C. This is the first time he has ever been in any serious trouble. "The Shooting of Sandy Edwards in Self-Defense," Young Jordon was also a commissioned officer during the Spanish-American War, occupying the rank of Lieutenant in the 7th Immune. He saw active service in the Phillipines, besides being promoted to the rank of Captain of the 49th Infantry fighting through the Insurrection. After this splendid career as a warrior in the cause of his country and to uphold the bravery of the Negro race he returned to this country. It was about this time that his father died and the reason the young man engaged in the Club business; because being the oldest boy. In the family they naturally looked to him to straighten out the financial arfair since a great part of his father's wealth was tied up in this business and as the oldest child of them all was a girl she as a lady could not assume the responsible of administratrix. The business was in such a complicated position that he could not dispose of it only at a great loss. Even with this handicap on him little acts from time to time to benefit the community at large showed clearly where young Jordon's heart was yearning for other business where he would be of some use to his race. Was ever there a man with soul so dead. Who not unto himself have said, This is my own. My native land; could not young Jordon have some longing desire to change to the higher shifts. Judge ye not, for fear thou may be judged by the same judge thy self. Young Jordon was a delegate to Jefferson City to fight the Jim Crow Bill, and it was said by Bishop Grant, Prof. Grisham, Rev. Peck, Nelson C. Crew, Unthank and others that he made a splendid address. Bishop Grant said surely that young man has some good in him. At the banquet given by Bishop Grant to the Delegates. The venerable Bishop said unto him, "Young man why don't you change your life." His reply, "I am Sir." It has been said by many a poor Negro that Leon has given liberally to him. He gave $100.00 to the Y. M. C. A. fund, and now heads the Grave Yard project with a $1,000.00 invested in the hands of Elmer Jackson its promoter. So you see that there is some good in every body. Now take the family without the protection of a father, only that of a number of younger brothers; some of them married and taking care of their own family. The old gray hairied mother, and when has it been that a mother does not love all of her brood. You can never rise too high or sink too low that you will not have that pure love of a mother. Look at this deplorable situation from an impartial stand-point. Take away the other aspect of the situation and what is your judgement. It has been said that Rev. Bacate who ever body knaws has fought the Clubs so long that he has become known as the Cato of Negro Morals and Right, said in James Cowden barber shop. If he could do any good for the young man by going down to see him in the cell he would go. The Son as everybody also knows has made an uncompromising fight against vices of all kind can not help but extend sympathy to the female wise all-Powerful God send like judgment upon us all. Hoping that God in bfs wisdom guide the old gray haired mother and the bereaved wife sending drought waves of peace upon all allike. LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL MADE GREAT SHOWING. Prof. G. N. Grisham may well be praised for the splendid effort of the graduating class of 1907 from the new High School at 19th and Tracy. Some of those to be especially mentioned were Mabel Bell, Annie Crostowhait, Delta Yates, the Misses Vera Wesley, Alberta Wells and Lorano Richardson doing especially well.

Dr. Tompkins is also a home boy and the educational advantages he has received have come by his own persistence. The only inheritance he has received from his family is the good name of his father. The people of this city are highly pleased with the outcome of their career and hope them a long, happy and successful married life. 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.

To all Grand Lodge Officers, Grand Representatives, Members of the Knights of Yythias and Courts of Calanthe, of the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri—Greeting: Owing to the fact that the Knights of Tabor, under the provisions of their laws, are required to meet on the Fourth Tuesday in July, and the further fact that they had called their convention to meet in Fayette, Mo., prior to our having acted on the place of our next session, I deemed it best for all concerned to change the date of our Grand Lodge session from the Fourth Tuesday, to the Third Tuesday in July, knowing that Fayette could not accommodate two Grand Bodies the same week. Therefore, by the power vested in me as Grand Chancelor of the Jurisdiction of Missouri, I do hereby proclaim and ordain that the 23rd Annual Session of the Grand Lodge K. of P. is hereby called to meet in the city of Fayette, Mo., as the guest of Fayette Lodge No. 35. K. of P., on the 3rd Tuesday in July 1907, the same being the 16th day, for the purpose of transacting such business as shall properly come before it. Let all whom these presents concern govern themselves in accordance with the above. 1. I call your attention to Art. XI, Sect. 2. Grand Lodge Constitution, that, "Each subordinate Lodge shall pay to the Grand Lodge with semiannual report, 25c per capita tax for each member in good standing." Said tax must be paid at once to W. A Gunnell, G. K. of R. & S., P. O, Box 803, De Soto, Mo. Any lodge failing to comply with the above requirements will not be allowed a voice or a vote upon the floor of the Grand Lodge. 2. The Endowment tax for the term ending Sept. 30, is now due and must be forwarded to W. T. Ancell, Huntsville, Mo., July 1. Lodges failing to comply therewith, will be dealt with according to law. 3. All who anticipate attending the Grand Lodge & Grand Court, will communicate with B. F. Issacs, J. H. Diggs & H. L. Williams, Fayette, Mo., in order that arrangements may be made for their board and lodging. 4. Lodges desiring changes or amendments in the laws, etc., must submit same in writing through their representatives, properly signed as per requirements of law. 5. I have extensive correspondence with the Southwestern Bureau, and the Western Passenger Ass'n in an effort to secure rates, but owing to the fact that the two cents per mile rate passed by the recent State Legislature goes into effect about June 14, 1907, they were unable to make concessions. 6. The Grand Lodge will be in session from July 16 to 19 inclusive, or until all business that shall legally come before it shall be transacted. 7. All past Chancellors desiring the Grand Lodge degree must present credentials properly signed and sealed. Charges for the same will be $2.00. 8. Each subordinate lodge in this Jurisdiction shall be entitled to one representative in this Grand Lodge for the first 50 members or less, one for each additional 50 members. Such representatives must be Past Chancellors in good standing, with credentials properly signed by their respective lodges. 9. I would recommend that no lodge send a delegate who cannot remain until the session has completed its work and the Grand Lodge has adjourned. 10. I desire herein to call the special attention of the Chancellor Commanders of subordinate lodges to the fact, the Grand Lodge in session at Kansas City July 1906, made the payment of the Pythian Temple tax obligatory upon the lodges. (See p. 93, Official Proceedings 22nd Annual Session.) You are therefore instructed to enforce the collection of the same as the lodge will be held responsible to the Grand Lodge. All lodges who have not reported Pythian Temple tax on the blanks furnished sometime ago, are liable to suspension. 11. The report of the per capita tax, must correspond with the number of the Beneficiary Board. 12. Representatives from South East Missouri, and St. Louis are expected to leave for Fayette, Monday evening July 15th. For further information, call or write the Grand Chancel at Pythian Temple Building 3137 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo. 13. Representatives from lodges who have deceased members since the last session, will bring with them a written eulogy and present same, to the chairman of the Committee on Memorials. 14. The 4th quarterly meeting of the Beneficiary Board will be held in the city of Fayette, Mo., July 16, 1907. Any matters requiring the attention of the board should be forwarded to the Secretary, W. T. Ancell, at Huntsville, Mo., by July 1, 1907. 15. The formal opening of the Grand Lodge will be postponed to Tuesday evening, July 16, at 8 p. m. at the Grand Opera House, and all Grand Lodge officers and Representa- tives will assemble Tuesday a. m., July 16, to go into official session. Given under my hand and seal of the Grand Lodge, this 27th day of May 1907. A. W. LLOYD, Grand Chancellor. (Attest) W. A. GUNNELLL, G. K. of R. and S. RESTAURANT Regular meals 15 cents. Shorting.

Such being the case we shall endeavor to change this old political system of always giving the same men the same old 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.
