Telephone 297 THE VOLUMN IX WHO will get Police Appo There are Number of good men after one will be we Now that the election is all over and aldermen Scally, Parks, Hodges and Fulkerson has been rejected again. The next thing is who shall be appointed in the offices to help run the city. There are only two of these places in which the colored people can hope to get. One of them are janitor of the city hall and market house, which is now held by Mr Walter Parker, one of Sedalia's best Negro citizen's. Mr Parker has made a very fair janitor so far as we can say, and has tried to do his duty. yet there are a few kickers. But others who now applying for his job who may make as good a janitor as Mr Parker, among them we are informed are James Ellis and Jordan Hickmad. We do not know if Mr Parker is asking for a re-appointment or not, but we do say that he has not brought disgrace upon himself nor shame upon any of those who appeainted him a year ago. The next place is that of a policemau whidh is the fattest job in the gift of the council to the colored of this city. This office is now being held by Mr Billy Drake, who is serving out the un-expired term of Joe Johnson, who for reason was let out—or rather resigned a few weeks ago. Mr Drake has been in this are similar service for number years, and it is needless to say that he is not on to his job. But this office is supposed to be vacant and someone is to be appointed to serve the presnt year and th are a number of good qualified, honest and capable men who has applied for the job. We will mention only a few of them that we know to be suitable and trustworth men, who would care for themselfs, respect their job and make valuable police among them are T. A. Carter, B. F. Redman, both of these men has at one time served the city in this MEUSC Will next waek offer a y SEDALIA SEDALIA MISSOURI. AJRIL 11 get the pointment.

Hickman, another one of our pro mint men who has did much for his ward and party, he has never had this place, but has seraed as deputy constable and make an officer worthy of his heir and one that did his duty and did it well. As a policeman we have every reason to believe that he would make a good one if only given a chance. We are also told that our other friends Fred Bush, Alfred Dyer, Wm. Gray, Geo, Richardson and others are in this race. Our council will make no mistake if they select their man for this list for they are all men. The article that appeared in our paper last week, concerning the card of thanks from Rev DeBoe and family,twas an error on the part of the Editor and not the family. It should have read as follows We desire to return four sincere thanks to the kind friends and neighbors for their kinddess and assistance during the illness and death of our son and brother Willie DeBoe. signed { W.

The "Jim Crow" bill has been knocked into the head, Missouri will never suffer the disgrace of drawing the color line as far as coaches and street cars are concerned. The fears which have arisen in the hearts of many of our race has been lulled to rest. We feel that we are immensely indebted to our able representatives of our city, who surpended all business affair to weep their way to Jefferson City, for the legislature to disapprove of the bill.

Politeness does not consist in bowing and seraping and doffing of hats, although some very polite people do these things, says the Lexington News, bat we have observed much real rudeness from those who were adopted in the art mentioned. True politeness consists in consideration for the comfort and welfare of those whom we come in contact. A man is more trulp polite who quietly gives up his seat to a strange woman with as little appearance as possible of having done so than he who offers it with bows and flourishes that calls attention to his act. This is only an illustra ion: but unostentatious octs performed for the accommodation of associates mark the reallp polite person. Of course, gentle and elegant manners add a charm to all, but these are not always marks of politedesed they may be acquired but true politenes springs from a kindly heart. We so much ceremony and ostentation as to be real rudeness and we have observed times when refraining from offers of help was true politeness. Wm. Drake who is now serving out the unexpired term of Joseph Johnson, is doing very well, his friends are hoping that he will be retained Mrs W H Carter has been very sick this week ```markdown ``` SPRING FEVER.

The around the corner politician failed to gei genough to buy his Easter front this year, but he is sharping np his blue pencil for the next year. The white press are busy booming up more good roads, but they don't say a word about a few good crossihg and sidewalks that are so badly needed on the north side.

It is said by colored show-goer that there are over four wagon loads of peanut hulls, tobacca cuds and paper on their side. Who Are The Barriers Of The Race In recent years we hear many of our leaders, ministers, public speakers and politicians make public speadhee and speak aboutirace harmony, race unity and race progress, stating that we must be united and work to gether for one another's. The above idea and impressions are good and should be carried out. Let us see where the fault lies and why they are not carried out. First, when our race hold a convention or a mass meeting, or even meet in literary, debatino or a political organixation, the first thing you see them do is to get into a little clique to down or defeat someone that this little clique think ought to be defeated, or to get up and try to create a feeling between 'olditeitizens and new comers or what is still more observable, to create a feeling between the young men and the older men. All of these acts are narrow, mean, treachrous and injurious to any race or class of people. In nearly every case those foolish cliques are started by somu young man with no matured judgement, and less discretion. It is true that the older men of our rach has most of the political preference and bettes standing in the community than the unacquainted young man would have, ev- ```markdown ``` or as be honest, who is it today that keeps the race seperate in the every community [in America?] It is the young, unreasonable, ogotiscal, self-concieted man. Then another thing that is perse and must be stop ped is, when a man of our race receives a appointment or a nomination, a few af the race will start to try to have his displaced or beaten, because he does not suit his fancy, or because he don't go to your church or agree to give you a part of his salary, then you will do every mean thing you can and dejeat him, and the results would that no Nefiro would get the job. Leaders stop fighting our people who are after jobs and appointments in order to make for themselves and families a respectable and honest living. if you are to proud; to ask for a job as janitor or policman, dont fight others because they may want it, always speak a good word for every Negro who treis to climb. let him be old or young, and then you will prove yourself worthy of being called a leader.

Absolate Certainty in Making the Test, In detecting a false gem from a gen- nine, the X-ray. says an article on X-ray photography, in Leslie’s Monthly, can be relied on with abso- rate certainty. Diamonds, as is well known, are pure carbon; and carbon, which is opaque to ordinary light, is transparent to the Roentgen light, while glass, which is transparent to ordinary light, is opaque to the Roent- gen ray. On an X-ray photograph of a real diamond nothing will show but the shadow of the gold setting. ‘An interesting experiment wasmade recently in watebing with the aid of an X-ray machine and a fluoroscope, mo- tions carried on inside of an opaque body. A goose was fed with food mixed with subnitrate of bismuth salt, which absorbs the X-ray. The pas- sage of the food down the long neck of the goose could be plainly traced by the moving shadow cast on the fluoroscope screen. cic Weeas Satin. Gen.

Many cigars of this class run through a long series of years. There are some brands now that have been running for more than a quarter of a century under the same name, and they are really the same cigars, made in the same! way, having the same flavor and all that sort of thing. In this connection Ihave been impressed by the remark which we often hear about certain: brands of cigars changing in quality. I heard a man say the other day that he had been smoking a certain brand: of cigars for two ‘years or longer, but that the cigar was getting so bad that he had concluded to quit buying it at all. ‘It is nothing like the same cigar,’ he said; “the taste has changed, and it tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves.’ Now he was altogether wrong about that. I know the cigar, know how it is made and all about it, and I know that no sort of change has been made in the process of manufac ture. The trouble is that man’s taste changes. He may get up feeling bad- ly, his stomach may be in bad shape, cand of course the cigar will not taste as it did when his system was in bet- ter condition. The cigar is blamed, and he simply dashes the thing into the street, and quits buying it. In- stances of this surt are very common, Mind you I do not mean to say that some of the brands do not change. There are tricks in the cigar business, just as there are tricks in other trades. But in nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the smoker. But recurring to the age of cigars, the av- erage to which I have referred has been settled upon by tobacco men and is accepted throughout the coun- try. It is reached by taking the two | extremes, the good and the bad five cent cigar, and aguring back to the middle. Some five cent cigars close with the first lot made. ‘They are failures, having nothing in them to recommend them to the public. ‘The material out of which they are made would not make decent ‘three-fors, the kind that are sold to the negroes on the river. The higher grades of five cent cigars are made as careful ly, and with as much skillasthecigars that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mindsayingthatmany of them are really far superior in materi al, flavor and method of manufao- ture. So many of them, however, are of the cheap kind that the average is lowered to five years, while the aver age life of the higher priced cigars will run to a much higher figure.” TWO MOONS OF SALT. Some Interesting Statements Concerning Amount of Salt in the Sea. Roughly speaking, says the Cin- cinnati Commercial Tribune, if you take the salt out of thesea water, you ‘deprive it of a thirtieth of ite weight. On that basis one-thirtieth of the entire weight of all the sea water in the world is salt, and, as salt and water bulk about the same, we may estimate, also, that, by bulk, one-thirtieth of the huge mass of the ocean is pure salt, What does this bringusto?. 3 —~ + FREE TO ALL!

WERMAN, OF BALTIMORE, SAYS: BALTIMORE, Md., March 30, 1901. "Gentlemen—Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be taken up direction. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I received a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, and the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me, even that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever." I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a new York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain Very truly yours. F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation. Examination and advice free.
