Elks of the World. [Name not visible in the image] VOLUME XI. Dr. J. E. Dibble, ed Ruler of th Elks of th At the Semi- Annual Election of the Imperial Lodge No. 101. I. B. P. O. E. of W. Dr. J. E. Dibble was elected almost unanimously as the Exalter Ruler of that body consisting of over 160 members. This election marks an Epoch in that order as it places to the head a man well experienced in Lodge Works and all their composite makings. Besides his high and well deserved standing in the community he brings to that body educational ability recognized by all Along side of his well rounded out disciplinarianship can not be disputed by any. In all crises there is always a man for the occasion, it is the consensus of opinion that in the cirses of the Elk Lodge in trying to secure its charter. Dr. Dibble stands as the strongest man that could have been elected to the head of that body and as its leader to secure for themselves a charter from the state, backed by the entire Lodge Dr. Dibble will bring to the front the same energy and capability he has displayed in his active work with the Knights of Pythias in this city. The Lodge can well feel complimented in having Dr Dibble as its head. He was born in Houston, Texas, and attended school in that city, finishing Wiley University in 1892. After which he entered Maberry Medical College graduating with honors in the class of 29 being salutorian of his class. He was then fortunate in being appointed head Physician of the Negro Dept. in the Houston, Texas, Central Railroad Hospital where he remained until he was assistant Surgeon of the Ninth L. A. Immune Regiment; serving his country during the Spanish-American war. After the battle of San Juan Hill and Escancy he performed active surgical work among the wounded men Doctor Dibble spent fourteen months in the service of the army twelve of which on the Isle of Cuba providance of Santiago. On coming to this country his regiment was mustered out at Camp Mead, Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Immediately on being mustered out honor came to him for his excellent service by being appointed House Surgeon of the Doug las Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Along side of this appointment he saw an opportunity during his service at the Hospital to increase his medical knowledge, by taking a Post Graduate course at University of Pennsylvania on Surgery and Diseases of the chest under the famous Dr Tyson. On leaving there he attended the Philadelphia Polyclinic where he took the special course of abdominal Surgery and the Diseases of Women under John W. Baldy who is recognized as head Authority on that subject. During the National Republican convention at Philadelphia on meeting a number of Kansas Cityans he was pursued by them begin his practice in the city as it is, one of the best fields for Negro Physicians. Since coming here in 1900 he has gained the entire confidence of the people, and pratices in some of the best families in the city. Dr. Dibble is a young man and for his age he is in advance of many other Negro Physicians in the state; because he has not only acquired the theory but he has not only acquired the experience in surgery. He takes an active part in everything of benefit to the race he is a constant contribution to charity and a general mixer with all classes of people, he is indeed quite a popular Physician. He is Past Chancellor of the K. P. and one of two women in the city to be past worthy Counselor of a court of Calanthe the other being the Grand Chancellor A. W. Llyd. Dr. Dibble is an active worker in politics and has been a delegate to every convention in both city and county during his stay in Kansas City.

Dr. Dibble has a very amiable wife, she is also of very highly educated ability and a very capable lady, having occupied several prominent positions in the past. Dr. Dibble's influence will tend largely to securing the Elks Charter the entire public is with him and wish him a prosperous success. CALL FOR A SOLEMN CONCLAVE. To the Citizens of the State of Missouri: On February 13th, 1907, fifty delegates, representing ten counties and the largest cities in the State, assembled in the State House in Jefferson City to enter their protest against the separate car law, which had already passed the State Senate, and to appeal to the reason, liberality and good judgment of the Railroad Committee and other members of the House of Representatives who were present, to keepe the proposed bill from becoming a law. We are thankful to say that the better judgment of that body prevailed and we have been spared the humiliation to which our people are subjected in many of the other States. The success which attended our efforts upon this occasion, indicates clearly, that with organization throughout the State and discreet management, we can do much toward creating a healthy public opinion in regard to all matters bearing upon the interests of our race. The Negro is under criticism; he needs defense; his civil and political rights are in jeopardy, he needs protection. For these reasons the delegation adopted a resolution while assembled in the A. M. E. Church, Jefferson City, Mo., February 13th, 1907. Instructing the President and Secretary of that gathering to invite a soft can convocation of the people of Missouri through their representatives, for the purpose of considering the advisability of a permanent organization. The meeting is hereby called to convene in St. Louis, Mo., opening in Central Baptist Church, July 10th, at 9 a. m., and closing in St. Paul A. M. E. Church, July 11th. All religious denominations, educational institutions, charitable associations, secret societies, and any other organizations in the State not included in this number are requested to send at least one delegate from each city, community and precinct to be present at said conventions at the time herein designated.

The referee who was appointed by Judge Powell to report on the granting of a charter for the I. B. P. O. Elks reported the matter in an unfavorable manner to the Court. Claim in the main that there were some undesirable characters in the Lodge. The Negro Elks in other States have been granted a charter and we don't see why that it can not be done in Missouri. This matter should have the serious attention of every Negro interested in Secret order work. Mr. W. B. Coutee has composed several pieces of music and he is sending them to the Jamestown exhibition. His last composition is a masterpiece in that shows the depths of negro genius, besides the most difficult technic and harmony, it has a tendency oward the intonations of Gill cart. The foundation of the song comes from Goethe. If this piece in the contest takes the prize it will place Kansas City in first place along the musical line. Mr. Geo Walker, 52 West 133d street, a member of the theatrical company of Williams & Walker, paid the Rising Son a visit Sunday. He was visiting the city for a couple of days and left on the 4:45 train en route for Lawrence to visit his family. FOR RENT Three newly papered and painted rooms at 568 Cottage Lane. Apply to R. E. Schryock, Postal Telegraph Bldg, 8th and Delaware. If you want the best work done cheap bring all of your job printing to the Rising Son. Mr. C. H. Countee is manager of the undertaking firm of Countee Bros. With the assistance and co-workmanship of his father, Rev. R. N. Countee, who is well known, and his brother, W. B. Countee, they set about to establish their undertaking firm 12 years ago. Through obstacles and numerous disadvantages they displayed that ingenuity which is well known in them, of stick-to-liiveness until they paved the way and made it possible that a legitimate business which is solely dependent upon the colored people for support could thrive, thereby making it easier for others who wished to embark in the same enterprise. We have no need to mention to our readers that Countee Bros. are courteous and gentlemanly as the best. Their continued success is proof enough for that fact. They have just completed the remodeling of their place of business. Their morgue room is nicely arranged, their chapel is grand, the display of caskets and robes is very good, their office and reception room is not to be compared with any, it is second to none. A visit through their place will thoroughly convince you of the above facts. The next good feature of their business method is they have none but experienced assistants to look after the work. Mr. Countee has quite recently, been elected Worshipful Master of Rone Lodge No. 25, A. F. and A. M. thereby establishing the fact that he is well thought of in this community. He is the youngest man that we have known to be elected Master of any Masonic Lodge in Kansas City. Mr. C. H. and W. B. Countee are also members of nearly all the various Lodges of Kansas City. They are both energetic young men who believe strongly in advancement and the success of any and all good causes. Dr. T. E. McLain of Denver, Colorado passed thru the city last night with his newly wedded bride, en route for Denver, where they will reside. Why don't you come in out of the rain? Plenty room, Come in. 1910 L. L. JONE3. Mr. L. L. Jones, Vice President of The Black Diamond Development Company who is among the greatest financiers of our race, and a strong pillar of the Blacq Diamond Co., is now in the city. To give the Kansas City people a chance to purchase stock in this company. He has just returned from the field where they have eight wells and a pipe line and 630 acres of Gas and Oil property to develop, and is now marketing their Gas in Kansas City and Kansas City, Kansas, and all towns in this section are using gas which the Black Diamond Developing Co. is helping to supply. They can cheerfully recommend this investment as one of the best that colored people ever had a chance to get next to. This Company has overcome all obstacles and made good. Your investment now will be a safe one as you have no risk to run or chances to take. This is a great deal more than many other companies can say. This is one company of color upon which you can rest assured its success is made. Mr. Jones spent five days in the field looking after business for the company, and also met several men representing several large gas magnates who have spent from ten to thirty years in the business in the East, and they told him that they had a mint and could not help from getting rich some day. Mr. Jones will be in the city until next Thursday. If any one would like to see him or purchase any stock he would be glad to have them call at 908 E. 12th, Smith's Drug Store. The stock of this company is now selling at 50 cents per share and pays dividend at its par value, $1 per share. We have to raise $3,000 to put in a large pipe line, so we can put the entire output at the wells on the market. We also will be able to put on the line all the additional wells in the future, which means a great saving of over $7,000 to the company in the future. Remember that this is the last chance that people will have to purchase Black Diamond Stock. Mr. Jones had a very interesting meeting at the Second Baptist church, 10th and Charlotte, last Monday night which proved very successful to the company. You should not fail to buy stock in the Black Diamond Development Co., first because of the men who are at the head of the firm, men of wide business experience, brains and money and they are going to carry this company to success. Here is where you make your money earn money while you sleep. All of the leading people of this country have stock in this company, so do not be left on the outside, for a chance like this only comes once in a thousand years. There is no risk to run when you go in a company somebody else has made it a success. The names of such men as A. Wilberforce, William L. L. Jones, Fred Wescott, S. Laing Williams, at the head of this concern ought to be enough to convince every one of the stability of the company. We sell as low as 50 shares of the stock and up, but all cash. We do not give any time. Payments must be made inside of thirty days. Las NUMBER 43 chance. Buy now or never. Stock 50c per share. A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY BLACK DIAMOND DEVELOPMENT CO.'S STOCK. It is a corporation. It is not a scheme. It is a business enterprise. Every share is fully paid. There is no personal liability. All shares participate alike. There is no preferred stock. It has eight gas wells and a number of others to be drilled. The wells produce 15 000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. Its success is made. It has contracted for the sale of all its gas. It has contracted for 23 more wells. It now owns 630 acres of Gas leases. One pipe line finished April 20. Another now being installed. Missouri and Kansas both are burning Black Diamond Gas. Dividends will soon start. There were 105 stockholders October 24, 1905. There are over 500 now. There are only a few shares for sale now. No more will be offered to the public for sale. Friday, 10:40 a.m. 409 East Phelps Ave. Springfield, Mo., June 28, 1907. Editor Rising Son and Mgr. Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sirs: Your subscription notice is before me, and it will be forthcoming just as soon as I can get to it. Allow me to add, in connection with the above, the following thoughts that have impressed me very much in the last 4 or 5 weeks. Having served as pastor in Kansas City, Mo., for 5 years of Asbury M. E. church, now known (though consolidated with Burn's M. E. church) as Centennial M. E. church, and know most of the leading men etc., I am therefore intersted in the doings of K. C. We have read and considered carefully the late controversy through the columns of your worthy paper "The Rising Son." In this particular case, (the Rev. Mr. Hurse, Mr. N. C. Crews, et al) I only know about relative to both sides; through what we have read in your paper. But as one intensely concerned about every one having a "square deal," and every man having a man's chance, I say to you and all others thus concerned, to stand by the truth, though the stars sever themselves from their sockets and fall. Since it is an assured fact, though truth may be bruised and mangled, it cannot be destroyed, as truth rests infallibly upon this maxim, "God is Truth." Yours sincerely and unbiased.

THE CHURCH AT WORK Belleview Edifice Which Has Been the Center of Many Notable Incidents. Surrounded by scenery as beautiful as there is to be found in Indiana stands the historic old Belleview church at Homestead, in Dearborn county, Indiana Here Edward Eggleston, as the assistant to the preacher in charge, rode his first circuit, and here it was, in this early home of Indiana Methodism, that Morgan's raiders, wounded and bleeding, were stands the historic old Belleview church at Homestead, in Dearborn county, Indiana Here Edward Eggleston, as the assistant to the preacher in charge, rode his first circuit, and here it was, in this early home of Indiana Methodism, that Morgan's raiders, wounded and bleeding, were carried into an improvised hospital in its sacred shelter. Belleview M. E. church was built in 1852 and has been a prosperous charge on the Guilford circuit all these years. Its walls have echoed with the eloquence of many a noted Methodist divine. The church is well preserved and seems good for a hundred years more. One of the features of its history is that, during the celebrated raid of John Morgan, the church was used as a hospital. As is indicated by its name the church stands on an elevation overlooking the valley of the Great Miami and from its rear is as pretty a view as can be found in southeastern Indiana. Hardinsburg lies at its feet in the lower bottom. The battle was known at the time as the battle of Hardinsburg, Homestead being a product of more recent years. Because of its historic associations several notable Methodist gatherings have been held at Belleview. CHANGES IN CHINESE WORSHIP. Money Formerly Wasted on Ancestral Rites Used to Educate People. Some months ago the Shanghai Taotai suggested that the large sums of money squandered on ancestral rites should be used for modern education. Already a remarkable response has come from the Chinese of Singapore, who have decided to devote to education the money hitherto spent in processes and feasts in ancestor worship. It is estimated that some $100,000 will thus be made available. This indicates an attitude of mind towards ancestor worship which is quite unprecedented. If the millions of China would act upon the advice of the Shanghai magistrate, not only would a great obstacle to missionary work be removed, but the national finances would be materially helped by the economizing of the extravagant and useless outlay which is said to cost the empire some $100,000,000 annually. A remarkable imperial edict announces that Confucius has been elevated to a position of equality with heaven and earth, the supramandane powers, as the Chinese regard them, inferior only to Shang-Ti, the supreme ruler. This step seems to have been taken to avoid the difficulty which has existed in the case of Chinese Christian students, who had conscientious scruples with regard to the "worship of Confucius" which was required of all who sought admittance to the new schools and colleges. As a result of this edict Confucius will now be regarded as above the plane where worship is permitted for any except the emperor. Thus, says Record of Christian Work, by a clever ruse a great difficulty has been removed from the educated Chinese Christians. Interdenominational Beneficence The late Edmund P. Dwight, who died in Philadelphia in 1903, and left large sums of money to religious causes, evidently was not a strong denominalist. The orphans' court of Philadelphia has just awarded these bequests: Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, $50,000; Presbyterian Church of America, $50,000; Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States, $20,000; Young Men's Christian Association, $15,000; and American Sunday School Union, $15,000. Small Pay. The average salary paid to the missionary is as follows: To the unmarried college-bred man, $700; to the married man, $1,000 to $1,200 (with $100 extra for each child); to the unmarried woman, $500 to $700. The basis for fixing the remuneration is not compensation for work done, but merely support. Fresh Air Work Supervision. Rev. John B. Devins, D. D., the editor of the New York Observer, has been appointed superintendent of the fresh air fund of New York city, which for 30 years has been providing country outings for the children of the alums in hot summer weather. Will Act Independently. The Atlantic section of the council of Jewish women has severed its connection with the united charities and will continue as a separate organization --- Tabby Bear Two Puns Mrs. E. B. Barker of Kansas City, has two terrier pups that have been reared by a big white cat. The dog's mother died when they were a month old and the two waifs took up with the cat as their rightful mother. At that time the cat had four little kittens and resisted the intrusion of the two pups into her family, but finally gave in. The second week the four kittens died and the old mother took up with the two pups and has cared for them ever since. The pups have flourished under the care of their feline mother and now at the end of a month they are as fat and well-groomed as any of the long-haired variety could ever hope to be. Every morning and night the old mother washes and cleans them. The little dogs are not accustomed to the rough tongue of a cat and of course resist. The old mother then takes the miscreant pups in her paws and scrubs them to her heart's content. They fight like little school boys. The two pups are not like ordinary dogs—they are unable to bark. When they get hungry and want their mother they make a noise half way between a mew and a bark. The dogs are two months old and the foster mother is trying to wean them, but they have become so fond of her that they refuse to leave her. M. S. U. School In St. Louis. M. S. U. School in St. Louis. The junior and senior years of medicine of the University of Missouri will, beginning September, 1908, one year from next September, be taught in St. Louis. This was decided at a meeting of the university curators held in the Southern hotel in St. Louis. This was made possible by the acceptance of the offer of Dr. Pinckney French and his associates of Barnes Medical college and Centenary hospital. By the acceptance of this offer the state university acquires as a gift the Barnes university and Centenary hospital, estimated to be worth more than $300,000. The laboratory years, the freshmen and sophomore years, will continue to be taught, as heretofore, in Columbia. No change will be made in these years nor any change of any kind be made in the medical college until next year. The present course of instructions will continue another year undisturbed. The teaching of two years of medicine will not affect the maintenance of Parker Memorial hospital in Columbia. The final contract for the acceptance of the Barnes property must be passed upon by the university attorneys before it is signed, but the action settles the university medical situation. A. Memorial Volume. A memorial volume has been issued containing the proceedings and addresses in the house of representatives at Jefferson City in honor of Hon. John M. DePuy, of Taney county and Hon. Thomas B. Gannaway, of Monroe county, on the 18th day of April, 1907. The little volume is elegantly printed on tinted paper and bound in white, and forms a fitting memorial to the departed legislators, men who died in the harness and at the pass of duty, performing the work assigned to them by their fell low citizens. Filed 8-Hour Wire Law Cascs. The prosecuting attorney has filed information in the Johnson county criminal court against the Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad companies for violations of the eight hour law recently passed by the legislature affecting telegraph operators who handle train orders. Ten suits have been entered against the Missouri Pacific and four against the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. Missouri Land Office Report. Missouri Land Office Report The report of the United States land office at Springfield for the year ended Sunday shows the total cash receipts to have been $127,540.54. The total number of cash entries for the year were 698, embracing 92,255 acres. The original homestead entries numbered 740, comprising 60,605 acres. The final homestead entries made numbered 445 embracing 40,685 acres, making a total of 1893 entries and 193,547 acres. This was the largest year's business In the history of the local land office since the consolidation of all the other offices with that of the Springfield agency. There is now less than 75,000 acres of land open en to settlement in Missouri, and not more than one-third of it is suitable for agricultural purposes. Dug His Own Grave. William T. Vaughn, one of Randolph county's oldest citizens, has had a premonition that he will die within three months. Accordingly he has dug his grave and made all preparations for his departure. A Sedalia Boy to Annapolis. Senator William Warner has appointed Lester Demuth, the 18-year-old son of e-Postmaster Harry C Demuth, midshipman to the naval academy at Annapolis, Md., and he will enter the school next year provided he passes the examination. Two Men Killed by Lightning James Lang and William Mitts were killed by lightning while at work in a hay field north of Nevada. Three horses which they were driving were also killed. HEAD GEAR (1) (2) (1) CHIP HAT (2) BLACK STRAW HAT It is very much to be hoped that we shall not go too far down the road of exaggeration in the affair of hats this season—or, rather, in our manner of wearing them! to match the costume worn. It a soft, indented crown and brim, which has something of room slope. This hat is to travelling or sporting wear, as The slight upward tilt, which leaves the hair above the forehead uncovered, is exceedingly attractive and it makes a woman look wonderfully young and unsophisticated; but then there is a limit and some seem inclined to go beyond it. I have frequently had occasion to remark on the charm of the picture fashions so much in vogue this summer, and never, that I can remember, were our hats more deliciously becoming; but when the upward tilt is carried to extreme exaggeration it borders on the ridiculous, for the hair at the back of the head is, practically, covered, and the impression conveyed is that some rude person has caught the hat and deliberately pulled it back from the face, jamming it down on the back of the head at the same time. When a cloche hat is in question—and this season the cloche may be said to be ubiquitous—the perfect manner of wearing it is absolutely straight on the head—that is to say, neither raised at the back nor at the front. It may be coquettish tilted to one side, just a tride, with the best effects, but the cloche should seem to rest right on the hair and to mingle with it! At the beginning of the season the cloche and mushroom hats sent out from the best millinery atellers were of considerable size, but those of the present moment are not in the least exaggerated in outline. The full crown, of point desprit, or embroidered tulle, is rather high and important looking, and for that reason the drooping brim does not attract undue attention. An amazing number of large wings are used in the trimming of toques for morning wear, and the Coq de roche is to be seen on nearly all the best models. Tuscan hats in cloche form are very charming when trimmed with a fringed scarf of ivory gauze and with a number of pale grey and white wings, the rich yellow of the straw harmonizing delightfully with all shades of grey, but it is especially effective when combined with pale pearl tints. Tuscan hats continue to reign supreme, but crinoline straw is also in great favor, and there is a new make of chip, which looks lovely when combined with straw-colored point desprit. This chip is coarser than the chip of last year, and for that reason it is rather more effective. I have seen it used with crinoline straw, and the effect pleased me very much. Quantities of beautiful roses are arranged in careless looking garlands on hats of the garden party order, and with these roses long lengths of broad satin ribbons, the latter almost invariably being permitted to fall in careless ends over the shoulders. These floating ends look delightfully festive when worn with lace and muslin frocks, but, of course, they are entirely out of place on a hat which is intended to accompany a tailor made The hat in the lower left-hand corner of our sketch can be worn with much advantage with almost any of the simpler summer costumes, and will be found vastly becoming, as well as pleasantly light and cool. It is obtainable in brilliant straw of several leading colors, such as navy blue, green and Tuscan, the brim showing the almost inevitable, and certainly attractive, mushroom curves; while for its trimming, a figured silk scarf, which introduces some effective contrast of color, is draped round the crown and loosely knotted at one side where the ends fall over the brim. The hat displayed in the lower right-hand corner is of cloth and may be of any color, or may be made of cloth to match the costume worn. There is a soft, indented crown and a firm brim, which has something of a mushroom slope. This hat is ideal for traveling or sporting wear, as there is absolutely nothing to get out of order, the natural feather mount which finishes it off at the side being quite unaffected by even a downpour of rain. SHORT CHAPTER ON DRESS Mauve and pink are undoubtedly among the popular combinations. The former color, however, is not much worn unadorned, while the latter in every possible shade owns its devotees by the hundreds. Much as I admire the dull soft tone of conspicuous favor, I realize, however, that to most women pale blue is infinitely more becoming, and I hold a brief perpetually for the charms of summer dresses made of very pale blue volle with straw hats trimmed with pink roses, and I am reminded whilst I write of a particularly good specimen of soft, thin pastel blue cloth which I met completed with a high-crowned crinoline hat encircled with roses shading from pink to mauve, over TOMMY Handsome Summer Gown. which was thrown a net veil of grey toneed with a narrow silk fringe. An ideal costume for morning wear at the immediate moment is made of a very thin twilled light grey cloth, the coat being innocent of trimming save for narrow insets of black and white striped drill which appear on either side of the large silver buttons, decorating the fronts, while at the neck a waistcoat of white plique puts in a welcome appearance, and the sleeves bear narrow frills of hem-stitched lawn. A pretty effect this has, and enhanced by a white lawn shirt and a plain skirt cut on the cross fitting tightly round the hips and bearing but a few folds at the back. In following out the design of the dress shown a touch of silk can be given place in the center of the diamond-shaped medallions, and a narrow piping used to finish off the collar band of the lace chemisette which, by the way, should be made detachable and in duplicate, so that it can always be kept quite fresh. More Insurance Fees. The collection of taxes for insurance business written in Kansas by the state superintendent of insurance, C. H. Barnes, for the first six months of this year is more than the total collections for any entire year since the department was created. The collections for the first six months will be about $275,000 while the total collections for 1906 were $247,000. The collections are based on the amount of insurance written by the various companies in the state and also the license fees collected by the department for each company that is authorized to transact business in Kansas. The collections have been increasing rapidly since 1901 when the amount was $137,000. In 1903, the first year of C. H. Luling's administration, the collections were $185,000. In 1904, the $200,000 mark was passed and in 1905 the collections were approximately $225,000. On a Search for Rotten Ties. As a result of the charges filed before the board of railway commissioners of Kansas concerning the conditions of the track and ties of the Missouri Pacific railway in that state C. A. Ryker, a member of the board of railway commissioners went to Anthony to make a personal investigation of the Missouri Pacific yards and main track. He walked three miles out in the country each way and checked the ties in the several miles of track in the yards. Many of the defective ties have been marked by the Missouri Pacific inspector for removal, but new ties have not been sent. The force of section men for replacing them appears to be inadequate. Grant Gillette's New Role. Gillette, the "busted" cattle king of Dickinson county, is now living in Fostoria, O., and mixing with the millionaires. The Fostoria Times, among other things, says of him: "Last week at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New York at a banquet given in his honor, G. G. Gillette of this city, was presented with a beautiful loving cup, with following inscription: "Presented to Grant G.

To Move Union Pacific Shops. The general repair shops of the Union Pacific railway are to be moved from Armstrong to Junction City. The railway company will, however, maintain local repair shops and an extensive terminal system in Kansas City and these will employ almost as many men as are now employed at Armstrong. Kansas Cheese In the Best. Kansas full cream cheese exceeds all other cheese in the percentage of fats, except limberger, according to the analysis made by Prof. J. T. Willard of the state agricultural college. Even the New York cream cheese which is asserted to be the richest in this country, is below the Kansas product. To Save Wichita's Fair. The citizens of Wichita have put the Wichita and Southwestern Fair association on a solid basis by subscribing $20,000 in stock. This will prevent the concern from going into the hands of a federal court receiver. The association has sold stock aggregating $50,000. Its indebtedness is only $10,000. To Avoid Car Shortage. Unofficial notices to the board of railroad commissioners say that the Missouri Pacific is making an especial effort to avoid a possible car shortage in handling the wheat crop in Kansas this year by distributing 2,000 cars throughout its line in the wheat belt of the state. These are all new cars, fresh from the factory and were delivered during June on an order given last summer during the car shortage trouble at that time. From four to twenty cars are being set at each station in the wheat belt and the agents have orders to use them only in the wheat carrying traffic. Each car has a capacity of 1,500 bushalls. Big Advertising Contract. The Wichita Beacon signed with a Wichita store what it claims to be the largest advertising contract ever given to a Wichita newspaper. The contract calls for 280,000 lines or 20,000 inches, to be used in a year. "It is probably the largest contract new held by any Kansas newspaper with any merchant, says the Beacon. Died After a Game of Hearts. At the conclusion of a game of hearts played in the Rolla commercial and social club rooms. Joseph W. Poole, president of the board of aldermen, also president of the social club, fell from his chair to the floor and died before medical assistance could reach him. Killed by a Santa Fe Train.

DE PASSE OF NEW YORK CITY "I Consulted Several Physicians, but they Did Me No Good. Pe-ru-na and Man-a-lin Helped Me." MRS. ALINE DOPASSE. Mrs. Aline DoPasse, 776 E. 165th St., New York, N. Y., writes: "It gives me pleasure to testify to the curative qualities of Peruna and Manalin. "I was afflicted for over seven years with catarrh of the head, throat and digestive organs. I consulted many physicians, but they did me no good. "One day I happened to read some testimonials in your Peruna almanac. I decided to try Peruna and Manalin. I bought a bottle of each, and after taking them for a week I noticed a change for the better. So I kept it up, and after using twelve bottles I was perfectly cured. "I also gave the medicine to my children and they had the same beneficial result. I would never be without these remodules in the house. "I highly recommend Peruna and Manalin to all my friends, and in fact to everybody." Miss Mildred Grey, 110 Weimar St., Anpleton, Wis., writes: "It gives me pleasure to recommend Peruna for catarrh of the stomach. I had this disease for a number of years, and could not enjoy a mouthful of food that I ate. It was indeed a great relief when I hit upon Peruna, and obtained decided results from the first. I took six bottles before I felt entirely cured of my trouble, but I had an aggravated case." CAMERA Numerous compounds are being offered to take the place of white lead as a paint, butno real substitute for it has yet been found. Pure White Lead has a peculiar property of amalgamating with the wood upon which it is used—added to this it has an elasticity which permits the paint to follow the natural expansion and contraction of the wood. Pure White Lead (with its full natural tenacity and elasticity, unimpaired by adulterants), alone fulfills all the requirements of the ideal paint. Every key which bears the Dutch Boy trade mark is positively guaranteed to be absolutely Pure White Lead made by the Old Dutch Process.

NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven por cont, or more: than one-third, before they aro five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely uso of Oastoria would save a ma- jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations, Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine, They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons, In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the Teverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fover. Letters from Prominent Physicians es addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. By Dr. A. F.

Dear Sir: ‘The following experience of an Mill nos man who went to Western Can- ada six years ago is but one of the thousands of letters that could be re produced showing how prosperity fol- lows the settler on the fertile lands of ‘Western Canada. This letter was written to the Chicago agent of the Government of the Dominion of Can- Ada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta, April 8th, 1907: “It is six years the 5th of this month since I and fatuily landed in Red Deer, family sick and only $76 in my pocket. Bought a $12 lot, built a 12x14 shack and went to work as a carpenter. Next May sold for $400 (had added 16x18 building to shack).” Purchased two lots at $70 each and built a 23x28 two story building and sold for $950. Filed on a quarter section 33 miles N.

Last year was my first attempt to raise grain, 1% acres of fall wheat, yleld grand, but was frosted August 2nd, was cut August 16th and made good pig feed. Had 1% acres fall rye that I think could not be beat. A farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he sald he never saw such heavy grain anywhere, Straw was 7 feet high. I had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall breaking that did not do so well, yet it ripened and gave me all the feed I need for stock and seed for this spring. I did not have grain threshed, s0 can't give yield, but the wheat ‘would have gone at least 25 bu. to the acre.

A friend, surmising my situation, gave me a dollar, which was thankfully ac- cepted and later paid back. Wife and I aro thankful we came here. We were living near Mt. Vernon, Ills., as perhaps you remember visiting me there and getting me headed for the Canadian Northwest, and a happy day it has proved for me. I have not grown rich, but I am prospering. 1 would not take $3,000 for my quarter now.

Hardening an ordinary drill in sut phurlc acid, states the English Me chanic, makes an edge that will cut tempered steel or facilitate cutting hard rock, ‘The acid should be poured into a flat-bottomed vessel to a depth of about one-eighth of an inch, The point of the drill is heated to a dull cherry red, and dipped in the acid to that depth. This makes the point extremely hard, while the remainder remains soft. If the point breaks, re harden, but with a little less actd in the vessel.

The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery andimproved way is called flue cured. In flue-curing the tobacco is taken from the field and suspended over intensely hot flues in houses especially built to re- tain the heat, and there kept in the proper temperature until this curing process develops in the tobacco the stimulating taste and fragrant aroma found in Schnapps tobacco, just as green coffee is made fragrant and stimulating by the roasting process. Only choice selections of this ripe, juicy flue cured leaf, grown in the famous Piedmont country, where the best tobacco grows, are used in Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it 1s usually neces- sary 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 wear- ing quality of the goods, This trou- ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great- er strength than other makes, A Success. “Do you think airships will ever be ‘a success?” “They're a success now.

Met Their Waterloo On Thursday July 4. The Jenkins Baseball Team, after defeating Muskogee Reds in a stiff eleven-inning game by a score of 2 to 1, went down to a crushing defeat by a scorc of 6 to 7 in favor of Muskogee Reds. It is said that about 700 or 800 Dollars exchanged hands on the game. The faithful backers of the Jenkins' went away from the game the other day with empty pockets. This will mark an epoch in Negro Ball Playing as one of the most sensational games ever played. There is no question to the fact that Muskogee Reds are equally as well lined up as the Jenkins Sons. Hardy Watts, as pitcher, proved an easy mark for the opposing team. Thos. McCampbell was very heavily hit by Muskogee, and it was only when they put Arthur Combs in the box that the Jenkins tightened up and began to play the game. Because of the non-disturbance everybody was well pleased with the game. Miss O. Wilson of Topeka and Mrs. Anna Moss of New York city were the guest of Mrs. C. S. Smith, 1217 Highland. They spent a day with her en route to another point. They were highly entertained.

The public is very sorry to know that Mrs. John Lange is on the sick list. It seems that she is suffering from over work, as she has been very attentive to her duties to the Pythian Courts of this city. She contributed a large share of her energy and finance for the obtaining of the Uniforms for the Juveniles. Her work has been greatly felt among the various courts. Alvin Jordan of 1220 Vine was very seriously injured by a bullet placed on the car track and just as he was about to board the car the bullet went off and penetrated his calf, coming out at thehigh, proving a very dangerous wound. Mrs. Jordan is a mail carrier in the city and a very efficient citizen. We very sadly regret the accident because of the delay it will necessitate in his service to Uncle Sam. The public is glad to know that Mr. John Marshall has charge of the new Sexton Hotel, 12th and Baltimore. Mr. Marshall as the people will remember had charge of a hotel here a number of years ago. As a headwaiter Mr. Marshall's capabilities are well known by the public at large and he is well fitted to be a head waiter of any hotel. He is a good fellow and has a polite disposition.

C. 1491. Professor Beecher regards this early date as probably the correct one, but ginning of the second century, B. C." A much earlier record the date as about 1300 B. C. and some as late as 1200 B. C. There is great uncertainty as to the exact time. This lesson belongs about a month after the last regular lesson. PLACE: The northern part of the Wilderness on bordering the Caucasus. Sight on the east. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Six hundred thousand men, besides children and a mixed multitude, had escaped from Egypt and its slavery, crossed the Red sea, and were now beginning their journey to Palestine. It took them 40 years, although it could as easily have been accomplished in 40 weeks. Three routes were possible (1) The Philistia road, the northern road, around the Mediterranean. This they avoided, because it would lead them through the warlike tribe of Palestine. (2) The "Way of Shur," directly east. They rejected this, because it traversed the worst of the desert. (3) Therefore they were guided to take the lower road running southeasterly along the eastern shore of the Red sea. V. 3. "Would to God we had died . . . in the land of Egypt," like the firstborn of the Egyptians. The contrast as to fertility between the wilderness and Egypt was very great. But they forgot their sufferings from slavery there, and the wonderful deliverances from God. They did not appreciate their freedom, their spiritual training and privileges, and all that would lead to a higher life. Note (1) that they might have been sure that God would provide them with food. Would he have done such wonders on the field of Zoan and at the Red sea, if he meant them to die in the wilderness? They only needed to look up to God and on what he had done to strengthen their faith. They were like Christian in Doubting Castle, who forgot that he had in his bosom the key of deliverance. "A friend of mine was once wandering in a thick fog. He could not see a step behind or before, and his soul was tiled with gloomy thoughts. Of a sudden he looked upward, and loft the sky was visible, full of stars. He was walking through a thick fog that reached only a few feet above his head. So in all our troubles; we have only to look up, and we can see God's kindness through them."—Anna R. Wells. Note (2) God was only waiting till they had learned their lesson of faith. They put material comfort before spiritual life. God's way was to have them seek first the character which would prepare them for their Promised Land. V. 12. "At even ye shall eat flesh, the flesh of (v. 13) qualls which came up" from the Arabian gulf of the Red sea, "across which they fly in the spring in great numbers, and are often so fatigued after their passage, and fly so low, as to become an easy prey wherever they alight."—Bush. "I have myself found the ground in Algeria, in the month of April, covered with qualls for an extent of many acres at daybreak, where on the preceding afternoon there had not been one"—Tristram. "The qualls, as appears by the subsequent narrative, were supplied not regularly, but only on rare occasions, in fact (so far as appears), only here in the wilderness of Sin, and at Kibroth-Hattavaah, in the wilderness of Paran (Num. 11:31 34). The gift of the quails came through natural means, like most of their food and ours. All our daily food is the gift of God, however much we may work for it ourselves. It forever points us to God and claims our thanks. This kind of miracle, we believe, our Father is constantly working for his children. God has made nature like a vast machine, and gone away and left it. He lives in all his works—the sun, rain, wind, the very birds of the air, and continually uses nature to bless those who honor him. V. 15. "They said one to another, What is it?" R. V. "Manna is said to owe its name to this question, 'Man hu?' 'What is it?'"—Prof. McAlister, in Hastings' Bible Dictionary. What was the manna? It was (v. 31) "like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey." "The taste of it (Num. 11:8) was as the taste of fresh oil." It was ground in mills, beaten in mortars, seethed in pots, and used to make cakes. It fell with the dew. In Psa. 78:24, 25 it is called "the corn of heaven," "the bread of the mighty," and it sustained the Israelites through much toil, but it did not pamper their senses. Symbol of the True Bread of Heaven. It is impossible now to read this narrative without connecting it with the Saviour's discourse to the Jews (John 6:27-58), and we should make the same use of it in teaching our scholars that Jesus did in teaching the Jews. We all are in the wilderness. We all need bread from heaven. Our souls all have hunger and thirst. No one truly lives whose body feeds but whose soul starves. And Jesus is the true Bread from heaven. This manna was designed, like the blazing serpent to prefigure and prophesy the coming of the Christ CALLED JUDGMENT OF GOD. Thief's Death at Hands of Child Whose Parents He Had Robbed. The New York Sunday World's correspondent in Budapest sends it the following account of a recent tragedy in the village of Kaposvar, Hungary: Janos Verga, a stock farmer, sold some oxen for 900 crowns and concealed the money in his house. Ferencz Gal, a ne'er-do-well of the village, knew of this transaction and determined to get the money. He watched the house until he saw Varga and his wife leave it. Then he entered and had no difficulty in finding the money, which he pock- As he was about to leave he noticed sitting in a corner, staring silently and intently at him, the Vargas six-year-old daughter. Realizing that she had watched his theft, he determined to get rid of this witness against him. He threw a rope over a beam in the ceiling and tied a noose in one end of it. Picking up the little girl, he tried to persuade her to put her head into the noose, saying it was a nice game. "How?" she asked. "I'll show you," said the robber, laughing. Gal put down the little girl, drew up a chair, stood upon it and put his head through the noose. "Like this," he said, again laughing, is if it was all a game he was playing with the girl. The child pulled the chair away suddenly; the robber fell, his neck in the noose and was strangled to death. The child watched her victim's death struggles until they ceased, then went outside to await for her parents. When they returned she took them to the room where the dead thief still dangled and told them in great glee what had taken place. The 900 crowns were found in the pockets of the robber and the six-year-old child is now the heroine of the village, where the event is called a "judgment of God." New Orleans Cities of the Dead. "New Orleans has several miniature cities within its boundaries, and they are the cities of the dead," said Louis W. Le Branc of the Crescent City. "I mean," he explained, "that every cemetery in New Orleans is a miniature city. They are built above the ground and laid out in streets, just as the larger city. Every house is of marble and some of the tombs are miniature. In them are buried many men who won fame under the domination of Spain and France. In them, too, are to be found inscriptions that tell of sweet Creole romances, such as that of Jeanne Laclede, the popular singer of nearly a century ago, who died of a broken heart. Certain days are set apart, according to the old French Catholic custom for visiting these miniature cities, and on these days they are crowded all day long. As they were built so long ago they are now in the center of the city and at night low weerd indeed. Long ago it was found necessary to build the cemeteries above the ground, because of the fact that the city itself is below the level of the Mississippi river." Voice of Experience A young girl recently went to her aunt on a momentous occasion. She explained that a gentleman was coming to see her. "I am sure he likes me," she sobbed, "and—and I think he means to propose. I don't like to ask mother how I should act under the circumstances, but—" "Do you like him?" interrupted aunty sternly. "Very much," observed her niece. "Enough to marry him?" The girl blushed and replied in the affirmative. "Then," said aunty, with an air of authority, "don't let there be any shilly-shallying. When he pops, don't turn red and look down at the carpet. Just throw your arms around his neck, look him full in the face and begin talking about the furniture." A Korean Romance A romantic little story comes from the Ckuk San district, says the Korea Daily Times. One of the residents having died of illness, his only wife declared her intention of killing herself. Arguing that it was not right for a woman to remain alive after her husband was dead and that she would be far happier if she followed him she put her plan into execution and committed suicide the same night. She was only 20 years of age A Difference "Why should my anxious breast reprise because my youth has fled?" she sang with great feeling in the hotel parlor. "Were you married to the youth or only engaged?" asked an impudent debutante who stood near the piano. Unconsciously Frank Mrs. Brown—How do you do, Mrs. Miller? Why haven't you been to see me? It is six months since you last called. Mrs. Miller—Dear me! Can it be possible that it is six months since my husband has given me any diamonds? A Fresh Clerk Customer—What have you got that is strictly fresh? Grocer—Cue moment, please. Here, Johnny, wait on the lady. SIGHS FOR PAST SHOWS. Mark Twain Regrets Vanished Joys of Other Days. Where now is Billy Rice? He was a joy to me, and so were the other stars of the nigger-show—Billy Birch, David Wambold, Backus and a delightful dozen of their brethren who made life a pleasure to me 40 years ago and later. Birch, Wambold and Backus are gone years ago; and with them departed to return no more forever. I suppose, the real nigger-show—the genuine nigger-show—the extravagant nigger-show—the show which to me had no peer and whose peer has not yet arrived, in my experience. We have the grand opera; and I have witnessed, and greatly enjoyed, the first act of everything which Wagner created, but the effect on me has always been so powerful that one act was quite sufficient; whenever I have witnessed two acts I have gone away physically exhausted, and whenever I have ventured an entire opera the resuit has been the next thing to suicide. But if I could have the nigger-show back again, in its pristine purity and perfection, I should have but little further use for opera. It seems to me that to the elevated mind and the sensitive spirit the hand-organ and the nigger-show are a standard and a summit to whose rarefied altitude the other forms of musical art may not hope to reach. Mark Twain, in North American Review. INSURANCE INVESTMENTS How One Company's Assets Are Distributed in the South and West. In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that $75\%$ of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxation, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equitable now has $10,958,000 invested in Texas, which is twice as much as the new law requires, but the management decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injustice to its policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. The Equitable's report shows that more than 37% of its total reserves are now invested in the southern and western states, while only 35% of its total insurance is carried in these states. Its investments are distributed as follows: Ala., $3,099,000; Arlz., $974,000; Ark., $4,038,000; Cal., $5,142,000; Col., $5,222,000; Fla., $4,924,000; Ga., $4,048,000; Idaho, $5,197,000; Ill., $12,617,000; Ind.

Gets Sentry Call Twisted When Dazzled by Commander. A drummer sometimes gets his orders twisted, but never quite so badly as the "rookey" I saw down at Chickamauga when the troops were being mustered in for the Spanish-American war, says a traveling man in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. This boy, fresh from St. Louis, was on the way to the front and proud of it. He had his first assignment to guard duty and he had been carefully instructed as to calling "Who goes there?" The officer in command of the division was a dignified martinet. The "rookey" had never seen him. About midnight the general came home from a reception in town. He was all fixed up in his dress togs and he was the swellest thing the new guard ever saw. As the general passed his post the boy gazed at him open-mouthed. Just in time he remembered he was expected to say something. So he gasped: "There goes who?" New Automatic Rifle. The selfloading or automatic musket is now being seriously considered as the infantry arm of the future. The equipment of the great armies of the world with an improved rifle is hardly completed when the mechanics begin work on a new weapon. At the recent examinations of the German War Academy the automatic rifle was one of the themes for discussion. The piece now on trial has a magazine holding ten cartridges; the recoil is utilized to load and cock. Consequently the soldier can remain quietly in position, never removing his eye from the target, and fire his ten shots.—New York Sun. England's Debt to France. One of the chief debts to France is that she nourishes our ideas, transforms them, makes them her own, just as she transplanted and transmitted the flower of the Renaissance in an earlier day. With all our national vanity we never dispute the parentage. It is only territory and diplomatic prestige and commerce about which we quarrel with our "sweet enemy."—London Academy. TWO TERRIBLE YEARS. The Untold Agonies of Neglected Kids ney Troubles. Mrs. James French, 65 Weir Street, Taunton, Mass., says: "When I began using Doan's Kidney Pills I was so run down and miserable that I could hardly endure it. Terrible pains in the back attacked me frequently and the kidney secretions were much disordered. I was a nervous wreck and Kidney Pills." using Doan's Kidney Pills I was so run down and miserable that I could hardly endure it. Terrible pains in the back attacked me frequently and the kidney secretions were much disordered. I was a nervous wreck and there seemed no hope.

Not long ago several wood disks, one foot in diameter, painted white, and each provided with a line and a lead weight, were placed in the pool in Central park, this city, by the Anglers' club, for targets for fly and bait-casting. As a granitoid walk adjoins the eastern end of the pool, and the targets furthest from the casting platform are near this walk, thousands of park visitors worry the lives out of the policemen and park employees with questions relative to the purpose of the white disks. They have been asked if the strange things are early lilypads and—everything under the sun an idle loucher can imagine. One of the patrolmen told me the other day that his naturally sweet temper had been ruined since the appearance of "them things." But the most curious questions of all was fired at me one day as I watched the angler practicing. "Are those tin cans used in fish breeding?" asked the visitor. "What cans?" I queried, not grasping his meaning. "Why, those tin cans in the lake?" "Oh! No, those are targets."—Forest and Stream. The Breakers to Remain Closed. Word comes from abroad that Mrs. Vanderbilt is to take a large estate near London, and that the Breakers will not be open this season in Newport. This will be the second summer that this magnificent estate has been closed, and it means a social as well as financial loss to the place. To the gossips of the smart set it means that something attractive is keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter on the other side of the Atlantic—something that draws like a lodestone. No longer is Robert Goelet's name heard in connection with the hand of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our wit's end to know just who the lucky Johnny is—New York American. Is the Sailors' Friend. Sixty thousand sailors look to H. A. Hanbury for advice and for protection. Mr. Hanbury is the United States shipping commissioner for the port of New York. He is the sailors' judge and jury. The men who sign on foreign craft now must appear before him for their papers instead of going to the consuls of the various countries. He decides all disputed questions between the men and their sailing masters. Many of the abuses of these men that formerly were common, such as compelling them to buy their outfits from the ship owners or captains, have been done away with under Mr. Hanbury's rule. His office is on the Battery park, New York, where he easily can reach all the ships leaving that port. Riddle "What is the difference between a chauffeur and a surgeon?" asked the every ready joker. "Give it up," answered the man who was bored. "The chauffeur runs people down and the surgeon cuts them up." Hastily boarding a passing street car, he made a safe getaway—Detroit Free Press. COFFEE COMPLEXION. Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Coffee. "Coffee caused dark colored blotches on my face and body. I had been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexion as one could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, according to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. "I am thankful to say I am not nervous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble." Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body.

(SOURCE OF FICE @ 8 LAMBERTS) TOO YOUNG FOR A STICK. Why Boy Would Have Nothing to Do with His Lemonade. "It was at a children's treat in the country," said the Settlement worker with pink cheeks and unbound enthusiasm, "and lemonade and edibles were being supplied to a collection of small children who looked, for the most part, like babies and were as sophisticated as I don't know what to say. As I walked around to see that everyone was getting enough to eat and drink I came to one infant whose mug of lemonade had not been touched apparently. I observed that there was a little twig from one of the trees floating on the top, but they are not fastidious as a rule and it did not occur to me that he objected to the proof that he was playing under real trees. "Why don't you drink the lemonade, little brother?" said I. "Isn't it sweet and nice? Don't you like it?" He wriggled a bit and rubbed his ear on his shoulder in a delightful state of embarrassment, and then with a knowing twinkle he said: "I guess, teacher, I'm too little to drink lemonade wid a stick in it." - N.

The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all suffering with eczema.

J prominent colored man, a self-ap pointed protector of the white ped ple, called their attention to th Strong editorials which Adams wa writing in defence of the race an they saw to it that he was not re appoinged as teacher the followin school year, Adams then went t Chicago, where for _ twenty-thre years he has edited The Appeal paper which has struck — sledgehan mer blows for the rave, He hag als contributed many articles on th race questions to the magazine Mr, Adams is a life member of th National Afro-American Council; 1 was the first person to pay $50 f membership. Mr. Adams was tl first to become a Mfe member of t) National Negro Business League, | which organization he is also. tray portation agent and he is. preside of the National Afro-American Pre Association, Mr, Adams says th the statement that he blackball Mr, Wilkerson, who applled for me bership in the Washington Philate Soclety. is absolutely false, He vot for him and for every other pers who hasgever been proposed membership. The dispatch was e dently the work of some local Ar Jan Allen's, Day's Hawkins’, ¥ vson's, Jones’, Garrett's, Foxe's, Knox Washington's, Griffin's, Cook's, Yates’, Bailey's, Cole's, Fran- cls, Wiley’s, and an innumerable host of others which this paper has {uiled to. give, but who shall be named ata future time, as this fs omly amt impartial list. But thes are for the purpose of demonstrating fat the Nezroe ts not only coming, but is here, The stronger the opposition, the better will the race be fitted for the harder parts yet to come, Some think that the race is going back, and that the prejudice is increasing, but as viewed through the eyes of the hewspaper this cannot possibly — be. These actions and acquisitions show to the contrary, What argument can tha white people present against that wall of solid faets? None, as they can only accept facts as they are, Could anything be more positivély proven? Does these facts show great prosper ity among the Negroes? In many ‘eases the families buying have jobs that don't pay them over $50.00 ,per imonth, Another thing that can’ be carefully noted is that the Negro bus iness places are picking up in busi ‘ness, as the thousands of Negroes are ‘beginning to realize their duty to ward Negro business places, Another ‘phase of the proposition Is that those who have no property are very anx fous to became property owners. A spirit which is no doubt akin to the Kansas City spirit of raising — the Standard. Some of these changes jhave been brought about in a very few years. One can fairly guess the [Nero ts going forward. Let the goo¢ work go on. Tet all Negro citizen: band together for common welfare o! all.

Tyler, the new uiditor for the Navy Department, has made an innovation which is very pleasing to the messengers in his burean who haye done flunkey work without compensation, For many years it has been the ensyom for the messengers to shave the auditor, deputy auditor, and chiefs of di visious, and shine their shoes. Be- Hieving that the messengers’ time shoula be given wholly to their offi cial duties, he called them before him and informed them that they could eut ont the shaving and shining stunt, as they would not be allowed in the future to spend government time in personal service for the heads of the office, At the recent meeting of the Color ed Men's Business League the fol lowing officers were elected for # term of one year: J.
