Sedalia Times

THE SEDALIA TIMES. SMITH COLLEGE Which will open this year with an new Factuly, with exception of our old friend Prof H. L. Billups VOL. VIII Big Time in Sedalia Aug, 4 Thousands of Visitors Here. Brilliant Display by the Negro Knights of Pythias. Two bands of Music—Base Ball Game—Big Street Parade A good time by all. celebration and outing day of Aug. 4th, which was held in Sedalia was beyond any doubt a great success. The thousands of visiting colored people were here from all parts of the state and spent a delightful day in the parks and halts of our city. The drill given by the Knights was an excellent one, and showed talent and skill faom beginning to end. Each company was nicely uniformed and looked good. The parade through the stroets was headed by the Great Western band of St. Louis. In the contest Joplin was a close second. Tha day was spent in speaking, ball games and other amusements. The Jellerson City Cornet band rendered music at Forest park during the day and night. At Liberty park the large dance hall was handsomely decorated and the Great Western orchestra played its lovely strains of cateny music. Hundreds of yousters enjoyed themselves gliding over the floor until a late hour, and a number missed their train. The ball game resulted in a sad defeat to Mr. Swannigan and his St. Louis Pequods, as the Sedalia Blues won by a score of 13 to 2. HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. Chief Love and his officers together with the Mayor, deserve much honors There will be many long days before the colored people who in large numbers from all parts of this state and Kansas who composed the delegations that came within the gates of our city on the 4th cease to congratulate themselves for the splendid reception they received at the hands of our white citizens. Very much of the good order and commendable conduct is attributable to the efforts of our police officers, everyone of whom seemed to have but one object in view, and that was to see that everybody had a fair chance for a good time, and nobody seemed to abuse that privilege except one poor little yellow tramp who would disgrace the fair name of Tipton by claiming to be a citizen of that splendid little city, but who, in fact, is not known there by its oldest inhabitant, and it is safe to conclude that he is nothing more hor less than a typical tramp. As the Capital said, "he could not resist the temptation of owning a watch," and hence just nipped a fine gold watch from RL Hunter, of Huntsdale, Mo. It is said Chief Love got very angry when he heard of the theft, and immediately called in four of his officers, and what he said to them must have been a plenty. Suffice it to say that in three hours and 45 minutes the watch was in Chief Love's pocket and the thief in the city jail. This paper must now repeat itself for about the 10,000th time that we have the fewest mean white folks and the most good ones of any place of equal size on the globe. Now for the State Fair. THE "KATY" FLYER. SEDALIA, MISSOURI SATURDAY AUGUST 9 1902. The Geo. R. Smith College. Politicial Pick Ups. IN POLITICS This "harmony" a curious word; Its purpose is polite, Yet, every time you mention it You start another fight. The Germans are making a strong fight for Tessmer for Justice of the Peace and Dr. Nassa for Coroner. We wonder if they evet think of what they did to Dr. Harris two years ago. Just think of defeating a man like him by 1300 votes in a county like, Pettis. The fight for circuit clerk seems to be hot one just now, and just who will knock the perammon is hard to say. The fight for justice of the peace is a hot one, as there are nine candidates out for this office. Six have announced and and the other three are circulating cards among their friends. The fight for constable seems to be warming up a little and the case is some what mixed. Capt. Mason claims to lead. Judge W E Connors has the lead for Recorder just now. There is some talk of several dark horses being sprung on the day of the convention, and some one will be surprised when they hear of them. James Ringen will be a candidate before the convention for County Collector. Judge Connors thikks he has 66 votes now, but we don't. We can tell better after awhile. FINE LAWN SOCIAL. Mesdames Boyd, T P Moffit, Densmoe J. Hare and Mrs. W H Carter served a fine lawn social at the residence of Mrs Boyd last Thursday night for the benefit of Taylor Chapel M E church. The affair was well attended, and the ladies had everything nicely arranged, with plenty of good things to eat, and the large yard lighted up brilliantly with Japanese lanterns, and tables covered with white linens. The ladies sold out however, and realized a nice sum for the church. Cassiere Candy Catarrhite, the most worn medical discovery of the age, pleas art and refreshing to the taste, act gentl, and positively on kidneys, liver and bowels, cleansing the entire system, dispels cure headache, fever, baited distillation and biliousness, and try a box of C.

CLARK FOR The delegates of the Republican convention will be asked to support Mr. Clark for this office. He has labored hard for the party for years and helped to elect many of them to office.

He has shown it in conventions, the committee rooms and in his every day life. Give him a vote. W. H. MASON FOR CNNSTABLE The Republican delegates will be asked to cast their votes for Capt. Mason for Constable. Mr. Mason has been a worker for the party for years, and has never got higher than a deputy. Now he asks you to give him this nomination.

He solicits your support on the grounds of fair dealing and honesty. GETTING READY EOR THE A. M. E CON.

There are fifteen colored delegates in the republican convention enough to have some barring, they must weigh each candidate, and nominate the strongest man, and not vote for him simply because he says he is a republican, and he brought in the was to save the Negroes, nor because he has a few cigars and a piriful campaign to tell.

From Infancy To Age Mother and Child Laxakola for Babies.—It is the best and most effective remedy for children BEST because it is pure and safe being made entirely of harmless ingredients. BEST because it is non-irritating and never grips or causes pain or irritation. BEST because it is sure and never fails. BEST because "Children like it and ask for it." BEST because in tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that it keeps the little ones in fine hearty condition. It is a dangerous thing to give little babies violent cathartics that rack and rend them little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple colds, restlessness, loss of sleep and fevers it is invaluable. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, and it will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. It will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature and induce sleep. Great relief is experienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations as LAXAKOLA neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. My baby is a month old and is teething. He was sick and I tried a good many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was inflammation of the bowels, and that I would never pull him through his hoes if he were his care. When I saw it was getting worse, I stopped giving him medicine, and could keep him from knowing what it was close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few doses of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. It it be him a few times, and it worked well as acarnm, and he my most presty fair all night. He is a great deal better looking because I gave him LAXAKOLA, and I tilted his head, and then would give him a bite to their sick babies. Laxakola for Young Girls on the threshold of womanhood, has been found invaluable. When they become pale and languid, face bloodless, eyes dull, head aching, feet and hands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their systems generally run down, they need building up, and their blood needs cleansing. Give them LAXAKOLA; its gentle bowel action to cleanse, and its tonic properties to build up the system, will show immediate and most beneficial results. It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tofic properties strengthen the nerves, renew vitality and restore color to the face and life and animation to the whole system. It is the only tonic laxative that strengthens and tones them up. Laxakola for Mothers.—It is particularly valuable and useful to women, especially mothers, as it is a gentle and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health whenever their peculiar and delicate constitutions require a mild and efficient laxative and tonic; while to nursing mothers, worn out with the care of infants and whose systems therefore are particularly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing the cause. To women suffering from chronic constipation, head-aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Mrs. Edw. Puch, E. Palatine, G., Boy 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901, our sample, it has done so much good, send me a 50c, bottle." March 24, "Bottle came sale, did a lot of good, drupe here don't keep it, so enclosed is 50c, please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good want another at once." April 16, "Enclosed is 50c, for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done me much good." Laxakola for Old Folks.—In the Autumn and Winter of Life when the various organs through long years of action have become more or less sluggish, it becomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy be adapted to that purpose. So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properly and the liver and kidneys are active and strong, your food is assimilated properly, your blood is kept pure and rich, and your nerves are strong. The feeling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whole system is run down and needs a general toning up. That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question.
