Seven of the two hundred or more delegates were colored, representing the schools of Sedalia and Jefferson City, and the city associations of Kansas City and St. Louis. Among the interesting, helpful and inspiring conditions noted by the delegates, was the progressiveness and culture of the colored people of Fulton. WHY A DIRTY FIGHT ON THE NE GRO PHYSICIANS? It seems that the supporters of the various Negro candidates on both sides are throwing mud. This should not have ever been entered into so long as the Negro physicians who gets it shall be expected to represent us in that capacity as assistant city physician, the two leading candidates for the position, Dr. J. L. Dibble and Dr. J. E. Perry, stand so high in the community that it doesn't look well for the supporters of either side to be throwing mud at the other candidates. The job only pays $0.00 per month which is not enough to kill either man's business by the dirty fight which has been raging. Dr. Perry, one of the leading candidates, has a very good practice in this city, his practice is so large that it wouldn't warrant aim in having the other faction to make a fight on him that would injure his business. In fact we think that he has gotten out of the race for he doesn't care for all this fighting, and furthermore we do not think he is a party to the dirty fight that is being carried on against the other candidate and again we do not believe that Dr. Dibble is in favor of those dirty charges which are going to be filed against Dr. Perry. Let the two men fight on their merits and let their friends support them and then see who will get the nomination Merit wins and party-regularity counts. The Son will investigate the matter and go to the bottom of the charges, and furthermore we will support the man whom we believe is being imposed upon. We believe that the mayor of the city will believe in a small measure what we have to say. Let the fight go on. Watch our next issue. NEGRO ROWDYISM ON STREET CARS. The other evening it seems from the facts and testimonies that a gang of Negroes beat up a conductor on an Argentine car. This is sadly to be deplored, such an outrageous happenings, it seems that the conductor spoke to those Negroes about being quiet and it was resented. The Rising Son backed by the good Negroes of this community are against such felonious assault and we believe they should be punished. President Corrigan is very strict on the motormen and conductors on the companies cars and he says "any incivility to the passengers on the part of the conductors or other employees should be reported directly to him and the matter shall be properly adjusted.

Little Charlie Hickox Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Hickox, 713 Wyandotte St., Kansas City, Mo., died Oct. 12, 1967, age 12 years, 6 months and 4 days. He was born in California, Moniteau Co. Mo. The funeral services was conducted at the residence by Rev. Buchann. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. It is therefore not strange that young men and women come here from all parts of the country, as Miss Lena Hopkins, graduate of the High school of Cheyenne, Wyoming; the Misses Thompson of Rochester, New York, daughters of Mr. Thompson, the writer; William Garrett of Mobilo, Alabama, etc. Then, again, the wide range of territory throughout which the senior Normal diploma, a life certificate is taken in lieu of teachers' examinations, as Missouri, Oklahoma, parts of Kansas, Illinois and Iowa, in all of which localities teachers salaries are excellent, constitutes another incentive to cause the thinking parent to select Lincoln Institute as the place in which to secure an education. The Athletic Association under the vary efficient training of Manager West, is preparing for the annual victories on the grid-iron. In Athletics the institution takes front rank; and in fact, can claim the championship for foot-ball among schools for the Negro. Thriving Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C.

At the National Capital Gossip of People and Events Gathered in Washington DIVING AND SWIMMING TEST FOR REAR-ADMIRALS WASHINGTON—Great consternation is felt in the navy over the announcement said to have been made by Assistant Secretary Newberry that rear admirals must shortly undergo a test to show whether they can swim or not. In the army a test of whether colonels can ride horseback was recently made. Mr. Newberry's declaration in favor of a swimming test for admirals, however, is considered far worse, although the average colonel weighs several times more than his horse. The assistant secretary's plan is to have rear admirals dive from shore shore and swim to their ships. Many admirals who have not moved a wheel for years except from the navy department to the club are indignant. It is felt that what the assistant secretary is really proposing is a general harikard among the most eminent naval heroes of the age. Nevertheless, the rear admirals accept Mr. Newberry's announcement as a fact against which there is no use in kicking and are preparing for it. Rear Admiral Cowles, the presi- WAS George Washington a bar? Must another idol be shattered? These questions seem to be answered in the affirmative by official records now musty with age but in a fairly good state of preservation. For years there has been a legend in Virginia that George Washington was seven times indicted for perjury. No one gave serious consideration to the rumors, unworthy of association with the beautiful childhood dream of the little hatchet and the cherry tree. A young man of inquisitive temperament, hearing the legend, made inquiry at the congressional library to ascertain whether any records gave it support. He was cited by the expert in charge to the court records of Fairfax county. There he discovered that Mc Dowell's men, after the battle of Bull Run, ransacked the courthouse and carried away most of the records, but that one volume had recently been covered through the executor of the estate of one of the Pennsylvania soldiers. This volume was carefully examined, and it was found that on May 21, 1760, the grand jury returned a presentment against George Washington ton for having dodged taxes on " RACE WAR WITH COURT WRITS AS THE WEAPONS THE injunction has been invoked in a local race war. The white citizens of a suburb of this city propose to restrain a negro from occupying a house he purchased. The suburb known as Bloomingdale lying between the northern boundary of the old city and soldiers' home, was several years ago subdivided, and long rows of houses erected for sale. The purchasers were given a deed which stipulated in one of its clauses that at no time should the property be sold to a negro. One of the original purchasers sold his residence to a man who placed a second trust mortgage on it. The holder of this second mortgage to protect himself, placed the house on sale with a real estate firm, which disposed of it to a negro. When the sale became known to the household- ```markdown ``` POSTMASTER GENERAL GEORGE VON L. MEYER has leased the Jewett mansion on the corner of Connecticut avenue and S street. It is the intention of Mrs. Meyer to return to the national capital in time to present her pretty young daughters to society during the social season. These girls have been presented at the Russian and British courts, but it is now quite customary to give a series of debut parties. Miss Julia is barely 20 and her sister two years her junior, so they are still eligible to come- out functions. They are strikingly alike and have been educated together and seem to have identical character- istics. With Miss Edith Root, they will form a delightful trio of cabinet girls, and will be the only representatives in that depleted set. With the passing of the Misses dent's brother-in-law, is the same size from his collar bone to his fourth rib, after which he juts out in a rectangular manner. Between his wishbone and his waist line Admiral Cowles weighs more than many persons do between their shoes and their hats. The sight of Admiral Cowles down on the Potomac river front trying to qualify for Mr. Newberry's test would draw tears from the eyes long unused to grief. Reports from Rear Admiral Evans's headquarters by intimate friends of his are that "Fighting Bob" is confident of being able to come up to Newberry's test. Evans, ever since the battle of Fort Fisher swims entirely with one foot, the other being used mainly as a sort of screw-propeller. The general effect is that of a flat wheel locomotive trying to climb a hill. Evans fortunately is the same size all the way down. He has nothing to kick about. The walls that are now deafening the Washington horizon arise from globular admirals with convex protuberances abaft and midriff. RECORDS CHARGE THAT WASHINGTON TOLD LIE wheeled vehicle." Washington was in good company, the presentment also naming George William Fairfax, William Mason and a number of other distinguished gentlemen of the day. At that time in the colony of Virginia two methods were in vogue for taxing property, both personal and real. Either the assessor was permitted to make the list or the subject under oath submitted a list As the presentment was returned against George Washington, it is evident that he made oath to the list of his property and failed to include "wheeled carriage" of which he was possessed. Washington, not being indicted, shows that the grand jury acted upon its own initiative, because had the matter been called to their attention by the prosecutor for the colony an indictment would have been returned. There is only one volume of the records of that time, and it does not show what became of the presentment. Whether Washington was tried will not be known unless some veteran of McDowell's command, directly or through an heir, returns the volumes that were carried off after Bull Run. ers for blocks around they at once started a subscription in which President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor is reported to have joined. There are few residence blocks in Washington upon which negroes do not occupy one or more houses, except in the ultra aristocratic section, and even in that section some negroes dwell. Race prejudice is constantly growing more intense here and in the new subdivisions in the suburbs the whites have attempted to protect themselves against negro invasion by restrictions placed in the original deeds similar to that carried by the Bloomingdale conveyances. The negro owner will assert his right to hold the property under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and a merry race war is promised. MRS. MEYER TO PRESENT DAUGHTERS TO SOCIETY Shaw and Miss Hitchcock, Washington might well wait: "Wanted a few handsome and socially inclined maidens for the highest executive set." The Misses Meyer are unaffected girls, sure to be popular, for their intercourse with kings has not turned their heads any more than it has changed their charming mother. Both have studied music and art under the best masters abroad and having resided in many alien lands are gifted linguists. Young Mr. Meyer, aged 16, has been the schoolmate of Kermit Roosevelt at Groton, and for a few months in the spring took a preparatory course at George Washington University, in Washington. Mrs. Meyer is a delightful conversationalist and she can chat very entertainingly about royal babies whom she has known. GATHERED, SMILES Sure Cure. "You will never break up automobile speeding by timing the automobiles," bantered the stranger in the big goggles. "Maybe not, neighbor," drawled the rural constable with the huge star, "but we have broken up a lot of speeding by timing the chauffeurs." "Timing the chauffeurs?" "Yes, giving them sixty days' time in the county jail."—Chicago Daily News. Pa's Fault "Johnny," asked the Sunday school teacher, "what have you learned about Jonah and the whale?" "Nothin'." "Nothing? Surely you did not forget that I told you last Sunday we were going to have Jonah and the whale for our lesson to-day." "I didn't forget it, but pa says he don't want me to read about any more of these nature fakes."—Chicago Record Herald. The Art of Milking. Suburban Resident—Yes, I want a useful man about my country place. Can you milk? Applicant—Yis, sor. "Which side of a cow do you sit on when milking?"

Squire—I say, Pat, that's the worst looking horse I ever saw. Why don't you fatten him up? Pat—Fatten him, is it? Shure, the poor bastе can hardly carry what little flesh he's got now. She Might. "So," she said, "you have made up your mind never to marry?" "Yes, after thinking it over for a long time I have decided never to ask any girl to be my wife." "Pishah! Don't feel that way about it. You never can judge by appearances how foolish some girls are. The very first one you asked might be willing to marry you." Sounded Familiar. Eva—Uncle Tom made millions with his mines. When he went over to Europe he could offer a private cabin for himself. Edna—Gracious! How funny! Eva—What is funny, dear? Edna—Why, it must have been "Uncle Tom's Cabin."—Chicago Daily News.

A climber "I think we'll rest a few minutes, if you don't mind. I'm quite out of breath, and this is a very comfortable place." One of the Drifters "There should be more investigations of cases where graft seems probable," remarked the energetic citizen. "I don't know," answered Farmer Corntossel; "in investigations never yet added much to my peace of mind. I'm one o' these fool people who would rather go on suspecting the worst than have it proved."—Washington Star. Hard to Find. "Why has she never married?" "She insisted that she would only marry a hero." "Well, they are not so very hard to find. There's a good deal of heroism in this world." "Yes; but she wants a hero with money." "Oh, that's different. Two deals in one." STANDS TO REASON. TWO WOMEN IN DRESSS Babel—I would I were a soldier boy. Clara—That you might—what? Mabel—That I might nothing.

"Whew!" exclaimed the young gentleman who had taken the object of his affections for a row up the river; "the sun is so powerful that my head feels on fire;" "Really!" was the unsympathetic rejecidor. I thought I could smell burning wood somewhere!" Masculine Ignorance. A young lady, who often thought out loud, had just been shown through a garter factory. "Heaven!" she exclaimed; "90,000, 000 pair in one year? I don't see where they all go to." "Neither do I," replied the young man, coloring slightly—Judge. All Bluff.

The Landlord—Skeeters nothin'—that's my darter playin' the mandolin—Cleveland Leader. An eastern magazine has been running articles on the treatment strangers receive in various churches. Saturday a woman connected with the magazine arrived in Macon and the town found it out. When she appeared at church Sunday everything was lovely. Two ushers escorted her proudly to a front seat. A sister helped her take off her jacket. A lady across the aisle found the place and fetched her a hymn book. The janitor tip-toed clumsily up to her pew and inquired if the ventilation was satisfactory. After the services the pastor, with his mind on the alleged discourse shown the "secret agent" in St. Louis, rushed forward, elbowed people right and left, extended two warm hands to the stranger. The women got all around her and almost smothered her with their kindly attentions; then a deacon and his family captured her and took her off to dinner. In the afternoon he took her driving, and had his children jump out when they reached the country and gather wild flowers for her. Late in the afternoon the deacon drove her to the hotel, and told the landlord to send her bill to him. And after all that she proved to be only a subscription solicitor. Qats Paid This Year Generally speaking, farmers sow oats for the purpose of changing and resting the ground and expect little or nothing in return, viewed from a financial standpoint. This year they were all agreeably surprised. Oats have been yielding from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, and are selling readily at 40 cents per bushel. The straw is worth from $5 to $6 per ton, which, all told, makes the oats crop of 1907 a source of considerable revenue. Shot by Ilis Dog. George E. Smith, an engineer on the Rock island railroad, while hunting near Eldon, was shot by his dog, which leaped against the trigger of his gun, discharging it. The shot tore a large hole in Mr. Smith's wrist, and even though the hand may not be amputated, it is probable that the member will be useless for life, and the engineer deprived of his occupation. A Monett Tom Sawyer. Tom Sawyer was a Hannibal product and one of his blood relatives must have drifted to Monett. A lad there announced at the penultimate moment that he could not go with his team mates to play football in Springfield, as he had to work in his father's lumber yard. The way those boys turned in and helped him unload several cars of lumber was an inspiring spectacle. Thought the Cat Was Mad. A cat supposed to be mad caused excitement in Seymour, Webster county. Several children were scratched, but a madstone failed to adhere to their wounds. Beat the Fire Department While the fire department as on the way to the burning building, an employee of the Carthage Press ran across the street from the Press office and put out the fire with a mop. Money in Watermelons Near Fulton a negro rented one acre and planted watermelons. He made nearly $100. The Fulton Gazette says the man with the hoe makes money in Missouri. --- Were Afraid of Smallpox. No undertaker in Jefferson City would bury the body of a child who died of smallpox Monday, and the doctor, with the aid of a negro immune, attended to the burial. Cotton in Clay County Garnett True brought to the Liberty Tribune a stalk of cotton that was grown west of Liberty. It was a big, fine stalk and shows that cotton will grow well in Clay county, but the only trouble is the season is not long enough for the bolls to open before frost. There are a number of big ones on it. Mrs. True formerly lived in Arkansas and wanted to again see cotton growing. They have about 40 stalks. Bara Old Wine. The son of a Navada man was 2 years of age recently and he celebrated by opening a bottle of blackberry wine that was made the day he was born. He passed some of the wine around among some of his friends, after which the bottle was again scaled up and buried and will not be opened again until he is 42 years of age. Champion Mule Raiser: H. O. Sparks, of Shecbina, believes he is the champion mule raiser. He raised a mule that in five months weighed 660 pounds and had won more than $100 in premiums. To Change Highway's Route Curtis Hill, state highway engineer, who has been making a survey of the southern route of the proposed state highways between Kansas City and St. Louis, has written Gov. Folk that because of the opposition in Franglin, Gasconde and Osage counties he deems it advisable to abandon the cast half of the southern route from Jefferson City. By this plan the southern route from Kansas City would cross the Missouri river on the toll bridge at Jefferson City and go to St. Louis over the central route. WHAT IS PE-RU-NA? Is it a Catarrh Remedy, or a Tonic, or is it Both? Some people call Peruna a great tonic. Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy. Which of these people are right! Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effectual catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. In order to thoroughly relieve any case of catarrh, a remedy must not only have a specific action on the mucous membranes affected by the catarrh, but it must have a general tonic action on the nervous system. Catarrh, even in persons who are otherwise strong, is a weakened condition of some mucous membrane. There must be something to strengthen the circulation, to give tone to the arteries, and to raise the vital forces Perhaps no vegetable remedy in the world has attracted so much attention from medical writers as HYDRASTIS CANADENSIS. The wonderful efficacy of this herb has been recognized many years, and is growing in its hold upon the medical profession. When joined with CUBEBS and COPAIBA a trio of medical agents is formed in Peruna which constitutes a specific remedy for catarrh that in the present state of medical progress cannot be improved upon. This action, reinforced by such renowned tonics as COLLINSONIA CANADENSIS, CORYDALIS FORMOSA and CEDRON SEED, ought to make this compound an ideal remedy for catarrh in all its stages and locations in the body. From a theoretical standpoint, therefore, Peruna is beyond criticism. The use of Peruna, confirms this opinion. Numberless testimonials from every quarter of the earth furnish ample evidence that this judgment is not over enthusiastic. When practical experience confirms a well-grounded theory the result is a truth that cannot be shaken.

Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 27, 1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper LESSON TEXT.—Joshua 14:6-15. Mem- ORY TEXTS 7-8 GOLDEN TEXT.—"Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things."—Matt. 25:23. TIME.—The verses of the lesson belong about six years after the last lesson, toward the close of the first conquest of Canaan, and during its distribution among the tribes. PLACE.—Joshua's capital was at Gilgal; Caleb's inheritance at Hebron, 20 miles south of Jerusalem. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Caleb.—Family Origin.—"Caleb . . . the Kenezite," the descendant of Kenas, the son of Esau. "The probabilities are that Caleb, or his father, became members of the tribe of Judah by adoption" (Prof. Beecher), like Hobab, Ruth and Heber. "The faith of this family was preeminently the fruit of conviction, and not the accident of heredity. It had a firmer basis than that of most Israelites. It was woven more closely into the texture of their being, and swayed their lives more powerfully. It is pleasing to think that there may have been many such proselytes; that the promise of Abraham may have attracted souls from the east, and the west, and the north, and the south" (a foretaste of the glorious fulfillment yet to come).—Blainie in Expositor's Bible. He was born while the Israelites were still in slavery in Egypt, for he was "40 years old . . . when Moses . . . send him from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land" (v. 7). His Character.—1. Caleb was a great and marked man, but what is often called "a self-made man;" rather, a God-made man. Coming from without the nation, he became a prince, and a power in the nation because of his faith in God and utilization of all that God had given him. 2. Mr. Tuck in his Revelation by Character represents Caleb as "quite an ordinary man . . . no genius," but the message of his life was that "he did commonplace things in an uncommon spirit. The uncommon thing about Caleb was precisely this—his religion was thorough . . . he "wholly followed the LORD" (V. 8)." 3. On the other hand, Matheson in Representative Men, calls Caleb a leader and explorer, "capable of Pisgah glimpses," his life pitched upon a hill; he could see things afar off; he was the real hero of the exploring expedition. "Was faith to drop her wings at the very gate of Paradise!" 4. By faith and faithfulness were the living heart of Caleb's character. He was sincere to the core. His faith endured 45 years without fading or faltering. "Caleb is one of those men whom we meet with seldom in Bible history, but whenever we do meet them we are the better for the meeting. Bright and brave, strong, modest and cheerful, there is honesty in his face, courage and decision in the very pose of his body, and the calm confidence of faith in his very look and attitude. 5. Caleb met opposition with courage and faith, when "my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt" (v. 8). They could stone him, but, like the prophets of old, he never wavered. 6. Caleb was of a thankful disposition and full of cheer. He did not dwell on his desert trials, or the 45 years' delay, or the opposition of his brethren, or his failure to change their minds; but on what God had done for him on his promises, on his long and healthy life of usefulness, so that even at 85 he could say with Xavier in his dream realized in his life, "And yet more. O Lord, yet more." 10. "The Lord hath kept me alive." As he promised. One promise fulfilled gave the assurance that the other would be. But Caleb's clean, active life was one of the means to this healthful old age. Maclaren in the Sunday School Times warns the young thus: "The old man of 85 is vigorous and hale as when he tramped through the land nearly half a century ago. The life that is dictated by Christian principle directly contributes to physical health and longevity. Insurance officers find that clergymen live longer than the average. In England some offices have separate tables for total abstainers, whom they insure at a lower rate than others. It is true still that sinners do "not live out half their days." In our great cities every year numbers of lads from the country, who have been "going the pace," have to drop out of the race. 11. "Yet I am as strong this day as I was." Spoken to give assurance that he could take possession of the land. "This old veteran, whose services would have entitled him to almost any reward he might ask, did not seek for a soft place for his declining years, but authority to do yet more hard fighting."—Prof. Beecher Practical Points. The world is to be converted for Christ. Not an enemy is to be left. But it is to be conquered by spiritual, not carnal weapons, and by the wonderful power of the Holy Spirit. The victory does not destroy men. Many of the best promises are realized only in the course of time. Some things cannot be done in a moment. But with continued faithfulness the fulfillment is sure to come The Effect of the Anakim on Some--There are those who hesitate on this account to take possession of their promised land. MIX THIS YOURSELF MIX THIS YOURSELF RECIPE FOR SIMPLE HOME-MADE KIDNEY CURE. Inexpensive Mixture of Harmless Vegetable Ingredients Said to Overcome Kidney and Bladder Trouble Promptly. Here is a simple home-made mixture as given by an eminent authority on Kidney diseases, who makes the statement in a New York daily newspaper, that it will relieve almost any case of Kidney trouble if taken before the stage of Bright's disease. He states that such symptoms as lame back, pain in the side, frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; painful and discolored urination, are readily overcome. Here is the recipe; try it: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sapsarapilla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. A well-known physician is authority that these ingredients are all harmless and easily mixed at home by shaking well in a bottle. This mixture has a peculiar healing and soothing effect upon the entire Kidney and Urinary structure, and often overcomes the worst forms of Rheumatism in just a little while. This mixture is said to remove all blood disorders and cure the Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter and strain from the blood and system all uric acid and foul, decomposed waste matter, which cause the afflictions. Try it if you aren't well. Save the prescription. A Whistler Criticism. The late James McNeil Whistler was standing bareheaded in a hat shop, the clerk having taken his hat to another part of the shop for comparison. A man rushed in with his hat in his hand and supposing Whistler to be a clerk angrily confronted him. "See here," he said, "This hat doesn't fit." Whistler eyed the stranger from head to foot and then drawn out: head to toe and then drawn out. "Well, neither does your coat. What's more, if you'll pardon my saying so, I'll be hanged if I care much for the color of your trousers."—"Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree" in Everybody's. Old Coins Discovered. Workingmen in demolishing the old smelter house of the first United States mint, on Seventh street, Philadelphia, have uncovered a number of relics of the early days of the republic. These relics consist of a number of foreign and domestic coins, dating as far back as 1793. Some of the interesting finds are a number of test coins that were experimented with by the officials in the olden times. These coins are similar to Chinese money, each containing a hole in the center that was filled with various kinds of metal to bring up the value of the coin. The Sinful Human Heart. A clergyman was addressing a youthful class in Sunday school. To illustrate the idea of regulating the sinful human heart he took out his watch and held it up that all might see it. "See this watch," he said. "Just imagine that it does not keep good time—that it goes all ways but the right way. What ought I to do with it?" Instantly a little boy held up his hand. "I know!" he shouted. "Sell it to a friend." A Vast Sum. The amount of money which the government is called upon to redeem in the course of the year reaches an almost fabulous amount. In 1904, for instance, it totaled $12,000,000. This redemption is either for the purpose of securing clean, fresh notes or to get change of some other denomination. Cromwell's Boots. In London the other day a pair of riding boots worn by Oliver Cromwell were sold for $43. They were discovered 30 years ago during some excavations at Canonbury Tower, Islington. OLD SOAKERS Get Saturated with Caffeine. When a person has used coffee for a number of years and gradually declined in health, it is time the coffee should be left off in order to see whether or not it has been the cause of the trouble. A lady in Huntsville, Ala., says she used coffee for about 40 years, and for the past 20 years has had severe stomach trouble. "I have been treated by many physicians but all in vain. Everything failed to give relief. Was prostrated for some time, and came near dying. When I recovered sufficiently to partake of food and drink I tried coffee again and it soured on my stomach. "I finally concluded that coffee was the cause of my trouble and stopped using it. I tried tea in its place and then milk, but neither agreed with me; then I commenced using Postum, had it properly made and it was very pleasing to the taste. "I have now used it four months, and my health is so greatly improved that I can eat almost anything I want and can sleep well, whereas, before, I suffered for years with insomnia. "I have found the cause of my troubles and a way to get rid of them. You can depend upon it. I appreciate Postum." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Welleville." in pkgs. FIVE MONTHS IN HOSPITAL. Discharged Because Doctors Could Not Cure. Levi P. Brockway, S. Second Ave., Anoka, Minn., says: "After lying for five months in a hospital I was discharged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected, I had smothering spells, and sometimes fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight five months in a hospital I was charged as incurable, and given only six months to live. My heart was affected, I had smothering spells, and sometimes fell unconscious. I got so I couldn't use my arms, my eyesight was impaired and the kidney secretions were badly disordered. I was completely worn out and discouraged when I began using Donan's Kidney Pills, but they went right to the cause of the trouble and did their work well. I have been feeling well ever since."

The loves and friendships of individuals partake of the frail character of human life, and are brief and uncertain. The experience of a human life may be shortly summed up: A little loving and a good deal of sorrowing; some bright hopes and many bitter disappointments; some gorgeous Thursdays when the skies are bright and the heavens blue, when Providence, bending over us in blessings, glads the heart almost to madness; many dismal Fridays, when the smoke of torment beclouds the mind and undying sorrows gnaw upon the heart; some high ambitions and many Waterloo defeats, until the heart becomes like a channel house filled with dead affections, embalmed in holy but sorrowful memories; and then the chord is loosed, the golden bow is broken, the individual life—a cloud, a vapor, passes away.—Matthew Hale Carpenter. SKIN SORE EIGHT YEARS. Spent $300 on Doctors and Remedies but Got No Relief—Cuticura Cures in a Week. "Upon the limbs and between the toes my skin was rough and sore, and also sore under the arms, and I had to stay at home several times because of this affection. Up to a week or so ago I had tried many other remedies and several doctors, and spent about three hundred dollars, without any success, but this is to-day the seventh day that I have been using the Cuticura Remedies (costing a dollar and a half), which have cured me completely, so that I can again attend to my business. I went to work again to-night. I had been suffering for eight years and have now been cured by the Cuticura Remedies within a week. Fritz Hirschlaff, 24 Columbus Ave., New York, N. Y., March 29 and April 6, 1906." Delicate Shade of Meaning: A keen retort is credited to the late Dr. Haig-Brown, master of Charterhouse. His brother-in-law, Dr. Porter, the master of Peterhouse, another famous English school, wrote him, inquiring his precise meaning in a certificate that a boy's character was "generally" good. "When I say generally," he replied, "I mean not particularly." That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money.

NO STAIN ON HIS RECORD. That's Where the Driver Had the Best of the Preacher. A New York clergyman, who often spends his vacation in fishing the streams of the Adirondacks, was on one trip adopted by a handsome settler dog, which insisted on following him from camp to camp, as he moved along the stream. One day he met a party of men working upstream with a native guide. The guide immediately recognized the dog as his own property. "Trying to steal my setter, are you?" he shouted at the clergyman. "I'll have you to jail for this! There's a law in the woods just as big as you have in the city." The clergyman endeavored to explain that he was an unwilling companion of the dog, which had refused to be driven away, but to little effect until he added a two-dollar bill to his arguments. "It's queer what strange things happen to a man up here," he said to the stage-driver who later carried him away from the woods. "That is the first time I was ever accused of stealing a dog." "Yes, str," replied the driver, sympathetically, and added, after a moment's pause. "For myself, str, I have never been accused of stealing anything." "Youth's Companion. LUCAS COUTY Frank L.

It is curious that philanthropists in search of a novel means of doing good do not engage reciters and storytellers to visit hospitals and amuse the patients. A rich man in New York engaged Marshall P. Wilder, the diminutive entertainer, who has given pleasure in nearly every city, to visit regularly certain hospitals in New York. Mr. Wilder was welcomed enthusiastically by the convalescent patients, and his merry stories did them good. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their texture beauty.

F. Simmons ranch in Atasosca County, Texas, on February 9th, 1987. I spent all day the 9th, and stayed all night at the Brown ranch, then rode all day the 6th over the ranch, making two full days of hard riding on horseback over this ranch. I met Mr. Frank at Pleasanton. He has been foreman on this ranch for 18 years, and knows every foot of the land. I told him I wanted to see the peest land on the ranch, and he directed me how to go, and after two days' hard riding I was fully satisfied with the proposition. I saw three peest, and without preposition of a mile of the ranch, I finally received the water at one of these wells and found it to be all right. It was very warm, as I understand all artesian water is when it first comes from the well. I am satisfied this well is furnishing enough water to irrigate 1,000 acres of land. It is in Headquarters pasture. I found the soil to be from a heavy black to a dark red, and all the shades between black and red. In fact, the soil looked good to me, and I believe I know good land when I see it. I have read carefully the printed folders and examined the little book, "New Home Sweet Home" with regard to the pictures printed in it, and I will say they are all there just as natural as life. While I did not get to see all over the ranch, I saw enough to satisfy me that it is all right. I saw the country from San Antonio via Corpus Christi to Brownsville, but like the Simmons ranch better than anything I saw in Texas. I was invited in this Simmons proposition and am now making preparations to move there this fall, and I wish to say to my friends and all of their friends, take out at least one application.

Who will be the next Negro Assistant Physician at the workhouse, long before there has been any occasion for turmoil, is a question. Dr. Unhank, when seen by a reporter of the Son, said he wasn't particular who got the place, only he would like to see some highclass Negro get the position. There are several Negro physicians in the city who are capable of fulfilling the position. The Son makes bold in stating that out of the many candidates for the job, the man who got it should be judged from the standpoint of party-fealty, party-regularity, insomuch as he is of strength to the party. Some of the doctors who are candidates have been very active in the political campaign for the last six or seven years. Let the place come to the well deserving and the doctor who has not been afraid to get down among the common people and do his duty to the party. There are a few physicians who have tried to handle the people with silk gloves, but this wont go when you are after an assistant city physician's position. THE BLACK CIRCUT RIDER. Let the Negroes get together on a plan of common understanding. BELL PHONE, 4886 GRAND. MRS, NANNIE BIBB, POMPS WIGS AND SWITCHES MADE TO ORDER. 1607 LYDIA, FLAT D, KANSAS CITY, MO.

Oh Lord give me thy sweet rest, Let thy peace dwell in my breast, Oh guard me while I sleep, As the good shepherd guards his sheep Keep me ever in thy care, Let me ever thy word hear, by L. A. ALLEN, Negro Poetess EUGENE VAUGHAN COLLECTOR. EUGENE VAUGHAN COLLECTOR. Mr. Eugene Vaughan is now collector for the Rising Son, and has done remarkable work since acquiring that position. The people should give the young man their support and encourage him in a general manner to get subscriptions. Mr. Vaughan will devote a portion of next week in the Kansas City, Kansas, district. We hope that the people over there will be as liberal as they were in Kansas City, Mo., where they have been paying up their subscriptions regularly. We hope the people in Kansas City will rally around Mr. Vaughan as he is quite familiar with the people of Kansas and trust he will have as much success over there as he has had before.

Supreme Representative of O. O. C. of Missouri. Mrs. J. Lankford Combs, who has been doing great work in her lodge has been highly honored by the court for her valuable services. She is the first Fast Grand Worthy Counsellor of the State of Missouri. Mrs. Combe is a charter member of the Grand Court which was organized in 1899. She was elected Grand Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment board in 1904, also was re-elected in 1905. After two years of faithful service in this capacity Mrs. Combs was elected Supreme Representative, to represent her native state at the National conclave of the Knights of Pythias of the world.

DELIGHTS OF THE CATSKILLS Where Deer Are Plentiful and the Bear Often Trapped. Most people who are lovers of camp life turn up their noses when one mentions the Catskills, and, indeed, in certain parts and at certain seasons this country is by no means ideal for camping, says Field and Stream. However, it is surprising that within 125 miles of New York, there should be places very rarely visited by city people and where deer are plentiful and bears frequently trapped. Certainly the beautiful clear streams and fine mountain scenery are very enticing and, above all, the ease and expense of getting there is a minimum. Three of us decided to make a trip through this region, gypsy fashion, in a circle of about 100 miles' circumference. The idea was to hire a horse and wagon, stow our tents and blankets and a few necessary clothes in it and travel through the country, visiting the various streams in order to try the fishing. As we had our tents and a few provisions (which latter were easily replenished when we passed a country store), it was not necessary to reach any particular place by nightfall, but rather we were at liberty to stop where the prospects of fishing seemed the best—usually well back from the villages. TWINS ALWAYS DRESSED ALIKE No Wonder Daughters of Mrs. Orlen Mills Attract Attention. London is greatly interested in "the Mills twins," daughters of Mrs. Ogden Mills and nieces of the American ambassadress. Separately these two girls would not attract any particular attention, but together and invariably dressed alike, from the tips of their toes to their very Parisian hats, everyone stares at them and everyone asks who they are. Ever since they were born Mrs. Ogden Mills has insisted that they shall be dressed alike to the minute detail. Each of these girls has the same set of friends, and no one ever thinks of giving a present to one without also presenting the same to the other. Their maids are also twin sisters and exceedingly alike, and they, too, are dressed exactly the same. Their pets are always of the same family; for instance, their favorites, two fox terriers, are brothers, while their little Japanese spaniels are sisters. For matrimonial purposes, we assume, only twins need apply. Millions Invested in Cows. There are said to be about 17,000,000 cows in the United States, representing an investment of $500,000,000, says Farming. The statement is generally accepted that less than two percent of these are of pure bred parentage. Who is responsible for the 98 per cent. of poor grade and scrub dairy cows? Think of it, Mr. Farmer, it is up to you to increase the dairy income of this country, and how can you better accomplish it than by starting right with some pure bred black and white stock, with their strong constitutions, staying qualities, all round excellence and superb performances at the pail. Give them a chance to lift the mortgage, then put the surplus in the bank. Watch Records. "That man's watch holds the record for this town," the country jeweler said. "It has run for 22 years without stopping. Aside from a little regulating, oiling and cleaning, it has never needed a repair. "I know lots of men who try to establish records for their watches. I know five men in this little town whose watches have run day and night for ten years. Give a good watch to a man, and he takes a pride in it. He never forgets to wind it. Soon he is trying to make a record for it. "The record for continuous running is held, I believe, by a Swiss watch in Geneva that has run for 28 years." To Mend Hot Water Bags. A hot water bag will oftimes suddenly spring a leak when most needed. Adhesive plaster placed over the break will stop the leak immediately and will stay in place for quite awhile. It can easily be renewed, and proves a most satisfactory first aid to an injured rubber article.—The Circle. HAVE your house and rooms dressed up like yourself, by DAVID KNAPPER The Painter.

Business Men's Organization for World Wide Conquest. Business methods applied to gospel work is the key note of a comparatively new organization, the Layman's Gospel Publicity League. Its claim to consideration by the Christian business men of the country is that the league proposes to supplement, not supplant, the work of the tively new organization, the Laymen's Gospel Publicity League, its claim to consideration by the Christian business men of the country is that the league proposes to supplement, not supplement, the work of the churches and re Ed H. Packard lions organizations by a practical and energetic application to Christian work of those principles and methods which the successful man employees in his business. It aims to reach the multitudes of people who never come within the sphere of influence of the churches. Its methods are unique, and include every form of decent advertising which is adopted by the publicity bucasses of business concerns, and even political campaign managers. Among them are outdoor meetings of song, prayer, testimony and exhortation; personal soliciting such as traveling salesman are used to; tent and hall gatherings, all of which have already been resorted to in two seasons; with newspaper, magazine and billboard advertising proposed for the future; together with flyers, brochures, song-leaders, mottoes, stickers, tracts, street car announcements and Scripture texts—in fact everything which will give publicity to the "good news" wares which the league desires the people to accept. The idea of the movement had its origin in the mind of Ed. H. Packard of Roslindale, Mass., who is now the president of the league, with James A. Kent, secretary; the headquarters of the league being in Tremont Temple, Boston. During the two seasons' work of the league it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of people have been reached with the Gospel message through the various methods employed by the league, the majority of whom would not otherwise have been reached at all. These results have been accomplished within a comparatively restricted territory around and in Boston, but Mr. Packard's ambition and enthusiasm reach out to make this movement national, and he will gladly answer all inquiries regarding the work and object of the league and send samples of the unique and artistic printed matter being put out. THE SONG THAT TOLD: Missionary in Africa Finds Friends Through Hymn. One evening at nightfall, a few months ago, says the "Book of Missions," a missionary on the Congo river in a steam launch, seeking a place to moor the boat for the night, was startled by a lusty chorus of men's voices singing in the native language "All Hall the Power of Jesus' Name." The missionary had found his place to stop; for there among the reeds were some big canoes fall of young Africans on a fishing excursion, and there were Christians among them with Bibles and bum books. And this in the heart of the Dark Continent! As the missionary joined in the words "and crown Him Lord of all," he felt somewhat as old Simeon did in the temple, satisfied because he had seen the salvation of the Lord. WORK AND WORKERS In North America the Young Men's Christian association has 400,000 members. In 39 other countries there are 300,000 members. The fourteenth annual national convention of the United Boys' Brigade of America was held in New York City on October 4, 5 and 6. Rev. James K. Grant has been for 37 years Canadian Presbyterian missionary to the East Indians in Trimdari, B. W. L., with his station at San Fernando. He is now on furlough for the first time in many years. In 1870 there were 446,561 communicants in the Presbyterian church in the United States. In 1907 there were 1,341,492, a net increase of 884,031. In 1870 there were 4,526 churches, as against 11,082 at the present time. Pray for Madagascar We read very sad reports of interference with Christian work in the Island of Madagascar. Many years ago English Baptists entered that region and, after hard struggles, established Christianity from one end of the island to the other. England controlled there then, but since, by national transfer, she gave it up to France. Now, the report states, the French governor general forbids instruction being given in the churches, or by them, preaching in the open air, at markets, etc. They must not hold religious meetings, even in private houses. Some "officials" have forbidden Christian women singing the songs of Zion in private houses. KANSAS STATE NEWS. Hit the Liquor Business. Evidently there has been a big slump in the liquor business in Kansas during the last year. This assertion is made upon the showing of liquor tax receipt stamps as secured by the State Temperance union from the office of James M. Simpson, internal revenue collector at Leavenworth. In this list there are 2282 tax receipt holders named, as against a little more than 3,000 one year ago. Of the number this year there are 225 duplicates; that is, through the appearance of firm names and then individual members of firms. Twelve hundred of these holders of receipts are drugists. Last year there were a number of wholesalers, but the aggressive fight which has been made on them by the state administration has completely routed this class, and now there is no showing to make. "Tax Ferrets" Can Not Get Names. The attempt to compel the loan broker of Dickinson county to divulge the names of their customers who have purchased from them farm loans has proved ineffectual. The county commissioners hired "tax ferrets," who secured lists of several hundred thousand dollars worth of farm loans taken in the names of the brokers and then assigned. The new purchasers did not put the assignments on record, and the county sought to compel the brokers to tell who were the purchasers. The brokers claim that they can not tell who are the owners of the mortgages at this time, and they will not pay the taxes, amounting in one instance to over $15,000. Prather Promises to Quit A telegram received by Attorney General F. S. Jackson announced that Van B. Prather, the probate judge of Wyandotte county, has confessed judgment in the district court of that county to a writ of prohibition to stop Prather from releasing any more jointists by habeas corpus proceedings. The jointists already turned loose by Judge Prater will be rearrested. A Corporation Census. The state tax commission is sending blanks to the county clerks for full lists of the corporations in the state. There are about 20,000 corporations registered at the secretary of state's office, but it is known that many of these have ceased to exist. Some had finished the work for which they were organized, some never did any work and some were organized simply as a blind. Good Corn in Boys' Contest The Junction City Commercial club's corn contest was a big success. Last spring over 200 boys entered the corn growers' contest and the result is that the finest corn ever seen there was on exhibition. Twenty boys will go to Manhattan to attend lectures on "Selection of Seed" and for instruction in planting with all expenses paid. Many special prizes were given. Sharon Springs, out in Wallace county, has been made a division point by the Union Pacific and is expected to boom. Heretofore Sharon Springs has been celebrated only for being 20 miles from the Colorado line, the next station to Monotony, and the place where President Roosevelt stopped and took a horseback ride four years ago. How's This for "Short Grass?" That the alfalfa industry is a success in that section was strikingly exemplified when George W. Wray of Ngeatur hailed to Obertin a load of alfalfa seed that sold for $517.90. The seed was raised on 30 acres of land. Sold "Bonze" in a Depot. R. B. Fanestock of Lane was fined $100 and given a jail sentence of 30 days on a plea of guilty to the charge of maintaining a place where liquors were sold and consumed. He was fined $10 for engaging in a crap game. Fanestock has been agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad in Lane and the offenses were committed in the depot. Baptists in Session. The Baptist state convention was held at McPitterson with about 390 delegates in attendance. The ministerial association meeting ended with the election of these officers: President, W. H.

The board of managers of the Bickerdyke home, otherwise known as the State Soldiers' home, at Elsworth have awarded the contract for the construction of brick barracks to be finished early next spring. The building will be 34x120 feet and 14 feet high, with a 10-foot porch around the front and a six-foot porch on the west side. The brick will be furnished by the state pententiary, and Warden Haskell was notified the board that the first shipment of brick will be made soon. SMART FALL GOWNS THE LADY OF THE TREE The first costume displayed above is one of the new striped and long-coated variety. The pattern is a soft green against a dark grey ground interwoven with faint flecks of color. The coat is all bound with braid, and further adorned with buttons of the striped tweed centered with braid; a green velvet collar, and a waistcoat of green cloth, where fine braiding is wrought in scrolls, being further decorative details, while the silk lining must by no means be forgotten. On the skirt graduated bands of cloth, where the stripes are arranged in contrasting form, are edged with stitching, and each finished off with one of those effective buttons so popular now. The other costume represents an equally leading mode. It is made of fine face cloth, the coat, silk lined and the braiding which forms its chief trimming of considerable elaboration, the back, too, being entirely covered by the lines of silken braid, whose graceful inward curve at the waist and outward spread on the little basque have such a good effect on the figure. It looks especially well in nut-brown cloth with braidings in black, and a contrast of bright green velvet on the collar which is edged first with a fine white and gold, and then with the broad black braid, cuffs to match holding in the fulness of the sleeves below the elbow. Then the almost inevitable and very decorative waistcoat repeats the note of green and the pretty scheme of braiding, while as to the skirt, its panel pleatings are connected by a braided device, the whole arrangement being entirely novel and vastly smart. HAT CHAT G RACEFUL, indeed to some faces are the new shapes of the cloche hats, which show a variation from the ubiquitous all-around shape. They are turned up slightly at the left side, close to the front, and as a result lose their quaint "mushroom" look and gain in smartness. Satin and taffetas hats will be all the rage this winter, especially sat- in for occasions of ceremony. In all cases the material will be drawn tightly over the shape and the best milliners use some mysterious paste to make the material stick close. Amateurs may be pleased to know that the stuff used by makers of waterproof repairs is an excellent thing for making thick satin cling to a hat shape, but, of course, sufficient time must be given for the distinctly disagreeable odor to wear off. Another new hat which is making a strong bid for favor, is that with the brim much broader at the sides than at front or back; in fact, the front and back of these new hats are quite short, and the sides jut out in a most imposing manner. These hats are not every woman's wear; they demand a special style of hairdressing. The hair must be carried back over large frizzettes at the sides and dressed very loosely. The whole effect is rather quaint, as the trimmings on these hats follow the outline of the shape, with the result that at the front and back the hat looks very large and en profile it seems as small as a touche! And yet another novelty—this time in the world of veils. The newest veil is a length, measuring a yard and a half, of silk net covered with large chenil spots and worn in bird-cage style, without any edge or border! Personally, I think these veils exceedingly unfinished and not too becoming, but they are all the rage and adopted by the best-dressed women. This veil in the new shade of prune is in great favor, and worn with a black hat it is not without charm; dark green is also much worn, and, of course, taupe. The taupe fillet veils—bordered with tucks of chiffon are still in favor, but there is no doubt about the newest thing being the simple length of silk net, covered with very large chenil spots. We are slowly, but surely saying au revoir to the ultrar-long veil, except for motoring. It has enjoyed a long and successful day and, notwithstanding its fine qualities, it could not remain in favor for ever. Hats are very much more expensive this autumn than before. Even the simplest of felt outing hats has gone up a peg. It is the most fatal of all economies to invest in a cheap hat. The price need not be high, but the velvet or felt should be of the best, for then a wetting will not injure it, dust may be readily brushed from it, it retains its color and is always satisfactory. Better have an expensive foundation and little trimming than good trimming and poor felt or velvet. In felts the soft French ones are the only first-class felts. In outing hats where a stiff felt is required, one often has to A NEW AUTUMN MODE. Round Toque of White Felt Covered With a White Cog de Roche. take it, and while the best stiff felt is not as good as the average soft felt, there are different grades in it, and the best should always be purchased. Trimmings should, of course, also be of good quality, and if one cannot afford really fine ostrich plumes that will outlast several hats, it is better to get wings or quills and use fine velvets. Quill-trimmed hats cannot be worn with formal and elaborate costumes, so that of necessity some sort of plumes or rare wings are necessary. Living Up to Regulations. A number of small North Deiaware street girls had opened a lemonade stand at the edge of the curb. The drink was in a large glass pitcher, with sliced lemons floating appetizingly at the top. One small girl, with a red crayon, had lettered the word "artificial" and leaned it against the pitcher. "What's that for?" inquired a passes by. "Pure food law," said the girls in chorus. "But why should you label it? Are not the water, the lemons, and the sugar pure?" "Yes." "Well, what's artificial about it?" "The ice."—Indianaapolis News. Harvard Leads. Harvard Leads.

She had come into the store to buy tablecloths and she stated in the beginning that she wanted something "new." The salesman was patient and showed her everything in stock, but nothing suited. "Oh, dear!" she exclaimed, fussily, "haven't you anything different?" The clerk brought out one of the discarded tablecloths that he had put back on the shelf, and said with an air of interest: "Here is one of the very newest designs, madam. You see, the center is in the middle and the border runs right around the edge." "Why, yes! Let me have that one," she said eagerly. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used.

Kansas City negro phylhicians are main agitating to a slight extent the old proposition to have the present hospital building made into a separate department for negroes, with negro physicians and nurses in charge. Notwithstanding the agreement reached some months ago by a committee composed of Drs. T. C. Unthank, J. E. Perry, J. E. Dibble, J. S. Shannon and J. N. Birch, representing the Negro Medical Society of Kansas City, and Alderton Young Farton Greene, Woolf and Mayor Beardsley, city council hospital committee, the negro doctors are somewhat dissatisfied and may ask that the council reopen the matter. By the terms of this agreement a negro ward is to be established in the new general hospital with internes and nurses of that race. Here, it was promised, the negro physicians might take their patients and hold suitable clinics, with quarters ample for all their needs. There is a well defined suspicion among the negro doctors that in the bustle of rearrangement this agreement will be forgotten. "So far as we know," said Dr. Unthank last night, "the promise of the council committee will be kept. But we have not observed any very marked degree of activity towards carrying it out, and many of us are inclined to believe we shall be left holding the bag when the readjustment is made. Just now if one of us has the amputation of a limiter to perform, he must take his patient across the line to Kansas City, Kan. Naturally we are very much worried as to what will be done for us here after in the matter. We can not see even any real reason why we should not be given the old hospital as we asked at first. "At least 90 per cent of the negro cases in Kansas City are handled by negro physicians. We have no clinical facilities whatever, and but few facilities for taking care of those of our race who may be in need of suitable hospital care—at least for those of the 90 per cent we have under our charge. We shall be satisfied if we are given the quarters at the new building we were promised. I am sure, however, another attempt will be made to secure the old building for our purposes. A number of councilmen who were asked about the matter evaded the question yesterday, declaring they had too many present problems to worry them to bother about this until it be CLINICS FOR NEGROES The request of the local negro physicians that a ward for negro patients, to be under the care of physicians and nurses of their own race, be established in the new general hospital is so reasonable and just that the municipal authorities should give hearty consent. Indeed, it would not be unreasonable in view of the large percentage of the negro population to set aside the old hospital building for the exclusive use of negro practitioners and their patients.

FOR YOUNG MEN ONLY. negro physicians, it is not only unjust, but dangerous to the public health and safety, to deny these physicians an opportunity to add to their proficiency by having a suitable place to hold clinics and provide proper facilities for their patients who may become a public charge. The higher the standard of skill among the negro physicians the less will be the chances of an epidemic of smallpox or other contagious diseases originating in the negro population and spreading over the city. A still higher consideration than the selfish one of protecting the white population from contagion is the moral obligation on the part of the administration to give the negroes a fair share of the benefits of public charities, such as the general hospital, and to do everything possible to uplift and promote the moral and social welfare of their race. The charge has been made in some communities, and apparently with considerable truth, that the negroes are crowded out of the professions and are forced to confine their energies mainly to mental and mechanical occupations. Kansas City, however, has hitherto given no grounds for such a charge, as the number of negro physicians, teachers and members of other professions clearly evidences; but the further duty is incumbent upon the city administration to afford a fair opportunity for the negro physicians to hold clinics and qualify themselves as far as possible for the safe and successful practice of their profession. Well, the political cloud is thickening and they have begun to organize to see who is who and what is what. Where are you, on the fence or in the ditches, or where? What do you want? LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Speaking of outlay and return for money and time expended in a period of the world's history where everything is reduced to the science of "high finance," and when the competition along all lines compels each one to seek for adequate return of dollar for dollar, we doubt if there is a school throughout the country that makes a better practical demonstration of "returns" than does Lincoln Institute. Seven dollars per month, the price of board to the student, is a smaller amount than most young people are well fed upon at home in this day of exhorbitant food prices; and the modesty, simplicity and economy required in matters of dress mean auso, that in this line, the student is better and more sensibly clothed, for the money expended that he would be at home; while the lessons gained in matters of food, dress, general hygiene and household economy are invaluable. Six new pianos of good make have just been installed for the use of students who take instrumental music; and when it is recalled that the institution has two separate and distinct departments of music, vocal and instrumental, each presided over by a specialist in her line of work, representing the conservatories of Chicago and others of equal merit, it will be seen that the opportunities here offered for the study of music are first class. Thus it is in each department, thoroughness, skill and progress, entitle the entire life of the school.

The minutes of that session have been printed and distributed to the various lodges, and I urge the members to read them carefully and note the important changes made in our laws. The coming Grand Lodge session: to be held in the City of Sedalia, including the State Encampment in July, 1908, must be made a grander success than any meeting we have ever held. The indications point to a splendid meeting in Sedalia next year, and all Uniform Companies are warned to look out for their laurels. Toussaint Company No. 8 of Joplin, through her commander, serves notice on all Companies in the State that they will be there to compete for the honors. The meeting of the Supreme Lodge, held in the city of Louisville, Ky., September 3 to 7, inclusive, was a surprise to the veterans who have been in the work of Pythianism since its foundation. Never before in the history of our race has a more inspiring demonstration of the wonderful progress of our people been made. It was a demonstration that brought words of praise from the tongue and pen of such eminent men as Booker T. Washington and Henry W. Watterson. Washington, the founder of that industrial system of training which is destined to be the cornerst ne in the foundation of the future commercial greatness of our people, and Watterson, that matchless journalist and authority on public questions of the day. In an editorial of the Louisville Courier-Journal, published during the Supreme Lodge meeting just closed, Mr. Watterson says: "The colored Knights of Pythias of the world in session here this week, have made an altogether excellent impression. The orderly method in which they have conducted their business, the gentlemanly manner in which they have borne themselves, and the exceedingly creditable appearance they presented in their parade, have elicited general comment and commendation. It is a pleasure to note such evidences of progress on the part of their race, and the Courier-Journal is glad thus to voice the good will of the city towards them." Booker T. Washington made a special trip from New York City to Louisville to address the Knights of Pythias, and his address was one of his most masterly efforts. Among the many encouraging things said in his address I give the following: "I have faith in what your organization is striving to do. I congratulate you on what you have done, and I bid you Godspeed in your efforts in the future, all of which I hope are constantly to be directed toward the betterment of your fellow man. Not a man have I seen in this vast crowd of people who showed any signs of intoxication. I say this, bearing in mind that I am in Kentucky and the city of Louisville. I challenge any race on the face of the globe to bring together such a crowd as is assembled here with more signs and evidence of genuine soberness." Supreme Chancellor Starks, who stands next to Washington as a leader of his race, said in his Biennial Report: "We have learned to organize and unite. We have proved that we are capable of self-government. Our business is done in a business way. We are surely rising to a position which in itself commands the respect of men. The problems of our race must be solved by plain, practical, foundational work such as we are doing. Two years hence we will again come up from our various jurisdictions bearing greater sheaves than before, our race and Order having the credit and God the glory." The next session of the Supreme Lodge will be held in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1909, thanks to the able efforts of the following stalwart Pythians of Missouri, who would not cease their labors until victory crowned their well-fought battle: C. K. Robinson, Supreme K. of R. and S.; Dr. T. A. Curtis, Supreme Rep.; J. F. Maynard, P. G. C.; B. J. Carruthers, Inspector General; Chas. H. Brown, Sup. Rep.; W. M. Johnson, Sup. Rep.; A. W. Lloyd, Supreme Rep.; B. E. Watkins, Captain of Mumford Company No. 12, Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. D. W. Scott, P. G. C.; Hon. Nelson C. Crews, P. C., Kansas City, Mo.; W. W. Plumb, Topeka, Kas.; W. A. Gunnell, G. K. of R. and S.; William H. Robinson, Brigadier General of Missouri, and Colonel William H. Butler, First Regiment K. P., of Missouri, and many others whose names space will not permit me to mention here. Now, brethren, with all this to encourage us, let us start the work RIGHT NOW, and make preparations to hold up the standard of Missouri Pythians above all others. "Coming events cast their shadows before," so let us make the coming Grand Lodge meeting and State Encampment in sedalia in 1908 the shadow of that mighty host of the Supreme Lodge that is to assemble in Kansas City, Mo., in 1909. It was said by Past Brigadier General R. C. Carter not long ago, that "a bird that could not fly fast must start early." So let us start early in order to give our slow-flying Pythian birds a good chance, and no excuse for not being ready. It is my earnest wish that all Uniform Companies give the State Encampment serious consideration and inform me as soon as possible of their intention to be present in Sedalia in order that the local committee may have a definite basis to work on.
