Pearl Fletcher one of Sedalia' eight young men, who has spent twenty years of good living is this city, and a creetible son of Mr and Mrs Elias Fletcher, who a few months ago left his home and went to Kansas City in such for employment. While in that city he was over taken with and attack of illness, which remained with until Snnday morning at 6 p. m. when the death angel came to his bedside and taken the soul from the body of pains and agony into a home of eternal happiness a.d rest. His mother, father and sister were at his bedside when the parting hour came, but all they could say or do was invain, for the had cym. He professed a hope in Christ Wednesday last week. He told his mother he felt that the Lord had forgive him of his sins and he was saved. He told her "some morning when she woke up he in heaven, he also told all of his friends that come to see him for the Lord had blessed him, he also said that he wanted to see his friends in Sedalia and tell them what the Lord had done for him." His body was shipped to his home in this city Monday and a large number of friends met the corps and bereaved ones at the depot, THE FUNERAL. At 1:30 p. m. Tuesday the large M. E. Church of which his mother is and has been for years and active christian worker, and of which he was a liberal supporter, was filled to its upmost with friends of all ages waiting to pay their last respect to their deceased young friend. The church handsomely drapped in white mourning. The choir composed of the members of the A. M. E. Church choir, of which his father is an active member. The services began with a song and prayer, lead by Rev. Wm Alexander pastor of the A. M. E. Church. Rev DeBoe, pastor of M. E. Church, read the obituary and preached and able sermon from the same. After a few well chosen remarks by Rev Alexander prayer was offered up by Rev Gieser of the Baptist Church.

A bill has been resepar and is to be introduced at an early date in the legislature, which if it becomes a law will prevent the employment of all white teachers and janitoss at Lincoln Institute and is also aimed the monopoly, certain merchants are said to have in furnishing supplies for the school. The chief feature of the proposed measure, however, is that it will require that all teachers and employees of the school shall be colored persons. Some of the Missouri statemen have been humiliated at the spectacle of white men performing mental tasks about the school for colored people. The superintendent of the industrial department, John H.

No section of the country is coming to the frons as rapidly as the Indian Territory. From the Land of the Indian it is slowly but surely being transformed into the White Man's Paradise, You know what Oklahoma has done—the Indian Territory is bound to outstrip Oklahoma which Mr Connor will attempt to remedy in this bill. But there is another provision which is, perhaps, more important. It is that there shall be not more than one member of the board of regents resident in Jefferson City. At the present there are three resident members. The Missouri Legislature is now in session in Jefferson City Many important bills are coming up for discussion but the dominant idea in the minds of the students anfi those directly interested in the welfare of appropriation bill for the maintenance of this institution for the ensuing two years. Missouri has always been liberal in its support of the Institution and there is every reason to believe that the liberality which has paid sueh excellent dividends to the states in the way of ihtelligent citizenship will be continued by this Legf slature, President Allan is making an excellent record with the Board of Regents anp the law makes as a wise financier, as a man of firstrate executive abilito, and judgement, in all matters pertaining to school management. Detachments of legislators frequently visit the Institution, and to a man each one expresses himself as greatly surprised at the character of the work that fs being accomplished; the number of students in attendance; their general bearing; the appearance of the AFTER. TIMES buildings, etc Active preparations are now being made for a concert which is to be given by the students at an early date, probably, In the Hall of the House of Representatives.

Citizens ticket for the election next spring of the four or five aldermen. During the past two years our city has been carefully and successfully managed, and have used such econemy that it is today in a better financial state than it has been for years. The citizens has not been anoised by tie votes in the council by stubben contrary councilmen, nor has the taxpayers suffered and hardship to further the advantage of anyone on account of his political following. as a whole the Times has only good words to say in regards to the work of our present council, so far as their work is concern. We do not want to make anyone think that we are endorsing a Citizen ticket as it was a last year, we never did, and never will. But another election will soon be on, and some of them who will be o candidates for re-election seems to think that their only hope to get back in their chairs is by such ticket as the one last year. A citizens ticks made up by the citizens would suit all the people, but a ticket made up by the two committees and a few bosses, and of ceseekers, and for them to say to the thousands of voters "here is your ticker. you must vote it or not vote at all," is to much for the the people of this free country. It is true that our city council should be composed of our best men, and it should compose of men who are not afraid to take his chance in a mass meeting or on a party ticket But they tell us that a "good" man don't want to go among the colored people and the common white people to get votes, and you will hear one say, if I run on a party I will have to buy up all the niggers and poor white folks. If a councilman buys his way into the council with his money, cigars, whiskey or groceries, he is not a fit subject for the place, and if he is above going among the poor people for their votes, who by their taxes must help to pay his salary and the running expense of the city he should be above getting on a so-called citizen ticket. If a man wants an honest office given to him by the will of whole people, he will not go into a ring deal, nor will he spend one years salary in buying votes, but he will come before the whole people on some party ticket or in a m meeting and make a clean honest campaign. $4,00 to $8,00 per day to any person sending their name and address to Scott's Remedy Co.

Owfing to he shortness of space. we will not, however, at this time relate the funny story about the fnnniey individual. These people. suffice it to say, subscribe for a Negro paper with wind. pay for it with wind. If the average Negro paper coeld subsist on windy talk every Negro editor would live in brick houses, have a 2000 page paper, hire 5000 printers, use 100 presses, have 3001 domestic servants, and then have plenty of wind and talk to spare, But, fate has so decreed, that it takus the same kind of “sponulix” to run a Negro paper that it takes to run a white peperi. There may have been a time in the ancient or medeavel days when a Negro paper did not have to use the hard cash to run a paper, but, sad as it may be that time is not now. Whenever you hear a fellow talk so much about his race pridism, ask him if he is a subscriber to his home Negro or any other Negro paper, if so, has he paid his subscription, theron hangs the key. As a rule editors can buy more with one cash subscriber than he can with a thousand windy subscribere. Tsis rule may vary—but we don't think so. What think ye, my brother.

BEAGLES WERE TINY DOGS. Diminutive Canines of Ancient Breed That Could De Carried in a Glove, ‘There is no question that the beagle is a very old breed. Early Roman ac- counts of England contain references to the beagle, even by name. Books published from about 1580 to 1610 de- scribe several varieties of hounds, in- cluding “the little beagle which may be carried in a man’s glove.” That the miniature hound was extremely popular at the time was evident from Quven Elizabeth keeping a pack which were also said to be small enough to put in a glove, says the Country Life in America. This statement is frequently ridi- culed when it is not understood that gloves of that period were not the present-day kind, but gauntlets reach- ing nearly to the elbow. What be- came of those glove beagles we may surmise from what we know of the results of later attempts to maintain packs of beagles of eight to ten inches high, the result after some years, being weak puppies that fall short of the fine qualities of the little hunting dog- when they are grown up. UNCLE SAM AS MISSIONARY. How the Unclean Places in Cuba Were Renovated by the Amer- fean Authorities, Cuban cities, like Havana and San- tiago, previous to the Spanish war, were great breeders of pestilence, and menaces to the world. Now yellow tever and smallpox have been practi- cally stamped out, and the death rate in the island has decreased one-half, and was lower in Havana last winter than in New York, says the Woman's Home Companion. In Havana an engineer corps insti- tuted a general system of houseclean- ing. Every house in the city was cleaned from top to bottom under the supervision of American officers, whether the tenant was of high or low degree; remonstrances availed noth- ing. As many as 16,00) houses were seat rd in one month. The sewer sys- Didn't Enjoy Her Company. Benham—Your mother always drops in about mealtime.

Lazakola 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. ee It acts promptly, surely but gently on the bowels, and while stimulating the liver to increased activity, its tonic 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 Motners.—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 particu- larly susceptible to disease, LAXAKOLA directly appeals. It clears the complexion, brightens the eye, sharpens the appetite, re- moves muddy and blotched condition of the skin and cures sick headache to acertainty 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.

So long as the stomach and bowels are doing their work properiy 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 fecling of nervousness, general weakness and debility means that the whoie system is run down and needs a general toning up. ‘That LAXAKOLA DOES IT, has been proved beyond all question. Its gentle warming, soothing action on the bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens the circulation, and puts the whole system ina condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy.
