SHAW RAPE CASE. What the Negro Race Lovers Must Do, To Assist Prosecuting Attorney Kelly in bring Shaw to Justice for Raping the little Arnold Girl, sometime ago. THE VOLUMN IX SHAW RAP Comes Up Again in this What the Negro Race Lovers Must Do ney Kelly in bring Shaw to Justi Arnold Girl; som THAT SHAW CASE. Days, weeks and months has passed over the heads of thousand of proud Sedalians since the helpless crime was committed on the little 11 year old girl of Mary Arnolds, a poor and outcast mother and daughter, by a white man known as "Shaw." It has been so long that it naturally appears to him and many others, that the public interest in the case had died out and the main witness is out of the way and he now has a chance to escape justice. But the day of trial is drawing near at hand, and it has not been forgotten by our noble Prosecuting Attorney, who we are satisfied will do his part in bringing this criminal to justice, let we believe that there is something that can be did among the colored people that will give him more power and enough support and assistance to battle with the army of able attorneys employed by Shaw to hide his crime. But let him employ who ever he may, if he did commit this crime, of which there is not a shadow of a doubt, he is then a dangerous man and that our little daughters are in danger. And if the facts are told in the case there is no reason to earth why he should not be punished, and that to the fullest extent of the law. Just think, what shame it would be upon our city so let the world know that these good broad-hearted people would turn a man loose who committed much crime upon any little girl, let her be white or black, rich or poor. It would have made no difference in the color of the girl, nor from what kind of a family she would have belonged if a Negro had of committed this crime. He would not have the pleasure of walking the streets today, for he would have been mobbed and burnt and mangled of today. We don't say him or anyone else, but it is reasonable that he should get all that the law of justice could pile upon him, without regard to his wealth, color or even his gray hair. The question arrises in the mind of a number of white people, is that are the colored people going to do, and are they going to let it by un-noticed, or will they put their fund and raise money and employ a lawyer to help Mr Kelly to bring the guilty criminal to justice. A part of this battle depends on the actions of the colored NEW ple of this city, and if they fail to make an attempt to defend this poor girl they need not be surprised at the result. We can only say: Shame upon such race loving Negroes who boasts so much upon what they are and how well they love their race, and then see such an outrage on a poor little colored girl and not do or give anything to help protect her or prosecute the guilty party. The time has come for these race men to show their colors or hereafter hold their peace on the race question. Mrs ANNA WRIGHT AT HOME. Mrs Anna Wright. one of our leading young ladies, and an accomplished teachers, who is a graduate of our Lincoln school, returned to her home is this city on last Monday and will spend a part of her vacation with her parents Mr and Mrs Solomon Dixson at 106 West Cooper st. The TIMES is always proud to speak words of prafse of one of our home girls who has graduated in our own pub lic school, and under its careful management and skillful teachers, who has launched forth in the field of educating our little ones, and has made such success and progress as this young lady has and as others are doing. We can say for Mrs Wright, that, she has been climbing the ladder of success ever since she was given her diploma, and in every school or town she has taught in stand open hands and welcome hearts welcoming her again. Her record as a lady and a school teacher. goes to prove that success can and will come to those who try, whether they are a college graduate or not. We again congratulate her in her effored and do trust that success will continue to follow her in her new field at Columbia next year. WARFIELD SELLS OUT. Felix Warfield has sold out his interest in the Warfield & James restaurant, 113 E Main street, who recently purchased the interest of Saul Banks of the same plaee, Mr. James is a first-class restaurant man and an expert coek, and has every facility to make it a successful restaurant.

The world is demanding today more than ever—strong men, men of sound bodies, active brains, tireless energies, Our race above all others is demanding men of courage moral and physical. These essentials, to future development can only come from our young men. In the radius of which Kansas City, St Joe and Topeka are a center, will be found over 100,000 Negroes of whom probably 30 per cent are young men in the pride of vigorous manhood; an army if properly marshalled and directed capable of conquering every obstacle to racial development in this western community, and placing Negro manhood and womanhood high in the estimation of the world's workers who admire and respect the race that conquers. This class of men cannot be developed through external agencies. The most potent agency for the develop- of men, strong morally and physically is through chivalry. Some methods must be devised to bring the young men of the race more closely in contact with the real church work. The reacbing out after young men, the ability to adapt church to the peculiar tendencies of the time and still maintain its fundamental purpose—the betterment of humanity constitutes the real test of usefulness of a religious organization. Our churches must be able to impress upon the minds of the young men that the daily work and church work must go hand in hand. That the application of energy and useful trades and industries is a large part of man's christian duty, that the old doctrine of "take all the world but give me Jesus" has forever to slumber in the death ohamber above with a hall of burning brimstone. The Negro needs industrial and commercial develop ment. The theory that life is made up of having a good time through questionable and reprehensible amusements must be exploded. Today there are many places in small business ventures among our people open to our young men and women if they could be found who would feel a sufficient interest in business to be gin on small salaries and devote their energies to the expanding of business to the point where it would be bound to pay them we l feel the brains and labor invested. The working out of this problem is for our leaders. Will they take hold of t.—Ex. Rev Deboe returned home Saturday. Mrs Lue Johnson was dowff from Kansas City and spent a few days with friends E.

N. W. Hillis of New York City, in a sermon referred to the disfranchisement of the Negro voters in the Southern states, and among other things said: "If the Negro is to be disfranchised on account of his illiteracy, it is but just and right that the million illiterate white voters of those states be also disfranchised." The Sentinel, on its editorial page, takes issue with the Rev. Hicks, and in its aitempt to poke fun at him shows a wonderful lack of common sense and a large amount of Negro phobia. It might not be out of place to suggest to the Sentinel that all truth, all verity and all that is right is of divine origin, and when the Sentinel tries to slur Negro suffrage by calling it a divine institution, he unintentionally states a fact which covers every American citizen, even the 500 illiterate foreigners that his party enfranchised in St. Louis one night in 52 minutes. The Teachers Institute has been going on all week and has had an excellent attendance.

Sedalia certainly has been a railroad center, for the past week.

Don't forget the promises you made to her then. Wife, don't forget that that gray haired man, who has labored hard and long for you, was once your lover. Don't forget how hard you tried to please him then—Ex The announcement that Senator Hanna had with urawn his opposition to the endorsement of Pres. Roosevelt's administration by the Ohio State Convention, was recieved with general satisfaction by the lovers of justice and right. The issue was forced by Senator Foraker of Ohio, and Marcus doubtles saw his finish; and like a good general and a wise politician he submitted to the inevitable. Last Tuesday a Negro who had been charged with an assault upon a white woman, was saved from the stake by the prompt action of the Militia which has been sent to the scene by the governor, which fact proves that there are some good white folks in Texas. The Negroes of Texas should have an hour of prayer and thanksgiving for the timely interference of the decent white people of their state. Every true, genuine American loves his flag, the ensign of liberty, the ever glorious emblem whose ample fold covers the head of every citizen with equal protection. The common people of every party, every creed and every nationality endorse these sentiments with enthusiasm, and therefore the little, insignificant newspaper or individual who tries to create sentiment derogatory to these well established facts is but little less than an anarchist.

A HUNTER ROOMING HOUSE 242 West Pacific Street Southern Representation Should Be Reduced If the South Disfranchise the Colored Voter. It is an inevitable fact that if the Supreme Court of the United States should sustain the Alabama state's new constitution and the new constitution of North Carolina in disfranchising the colored people, especially if they hold that the grand father is good, then the colored people and their white friends should demand that the 14th amendment to the constitution should beenforced, and the representation in Congress and electoral college should be reduced to the exact number of qualified voters in such states. The 14th amendment reads as follows: SPAULLING OFFICIAL - LEAGUE BA L. "Whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of president or vice president, or for United States representatives in congress, executive and judicial officers, or members of the legislatures thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state. Everything That is right in BASE BALLS, BATS, GLOVES, MITTS and Masks, You want the best for your money, see Us. -Of Gasoline Stoves- It is true that this amendment has never been enforced heretorfore, but the north and especially the Republican party thought that the south would eventually grant the right of franchise to the colored man, but now there seems but little hope for them to do so. Mr. W. E. Curtis, one of the most influential writers of the Chicago Record-Herald, gives some election tables that shows the violation of the 14th amendment and the injustice done the voter of the north. We here-with present that table. The rate at the last election is as follows: Illinois S. Car.

If the pier of a bridge is to be built in the middle of a river, the builders commence by sinking stones for the foundation. If they dropped the first stone and quit because they could not see it, the pier would never be built. If they dropped a dozen stones, one on top of the other, and quit before the pile was big enough to stick out of the water, they would lose their time and their stones. But if they go on, put in a good, solid foundation and build up from that, they will in time permanent, and that will hold up a The first ads you drop in only not serve as anything if you do not keep on piling one on top of the BUSINESS "You will have a pier which will sustain the bridge of business."

DUNQUIT From Infancy To Age 12 Lazakola 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 its 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 cataracts that rack and send their 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 diarrhea, 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 4 months 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 perilla if he were under his cars. When I saw he was getting worse, I stopped giving him his medicine, and he was very well. He was very well, and I knew that it was going to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and if relieved him, I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and my mrs. pretty fair all night. He is a great deal better now, and he is very happy. If he would give nothing else to their sick babies." MRS MARY DALEY, 591 First Street, South Boston, Mass. 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. 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 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.

April 19. "Enclosed is 40c for one more bottle LAXAKOLA. It has done 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 best adapted to that purpose.

Only those born deaf are incurable. HEAD NOISES CEASE IMMEDIATELY. **Gentlemen:** — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a funeral of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five minutes our right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of medical professionals, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could be done, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. 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.
