MEXICO, Mo., 20, 1903. Dear Sisters and Members of the Women's Missionary Society of the C M E church, we assemble with sad hearts on account of the loss of our president and dear sister, Minerva Davis, who was called to her reward May 29th last. Resolved, That we, the District Women's Society, of which she was the active president at the time of her death, that we should and will forever cherish and remember her religious examples and life to imitate. Resolved, That we extend to Rev. T M Davis and children our deepest sympathy in the loss of his dear wife and mother, and commend them ta Him who does all things for the best. The Republicans in congress should speak out on slavery in the South, not only in Alabama, but the entire south. This paper has been preaching for years that the Negro was half free and half slave, and now what think you palliators of the South since Alabama has been heard from? Not only white men have said the [sonth is all right but Negroes have said the same thing. Any negro who is caught advocating the rights of the South should be treated to a ride upon a rail. The rank and file of southern white men are rotten to the core as far as right and justice toward the negro is concerned. The only solution is Heat, e Our Bargain in E STOVES CARD OF THANKS. for the government of the United States to take the election of its own members in hand, amend the civil and military laws of our country in such a manner that the poorest and most humble citizen can get recourse; another is to arm the negroes so they can protect themselves.

It it about time for thecolored men of our city who have and always did take leading parts in our campaigns, to begin organizing and get ready for the next big fight next spring and fall. The negro voters of Sedalia are rapidly using their power in all political battles, and at the rate they are going now and from their actions in the last fall's campaign they will soon be powerless and helpless to any party, and the man who loves his race and who will make every honest effort to advance them in the political world, is becoming powerless and hopeless. Something must be done and it must be done at once or all future homes for the Sedalia negro is lost, beyond redemption. These slush and boodle campaigners and voters must be set down upon, they must not rule the people who stand for principle, right and justice, for if they do and they continue the way they did in the past few years, selling their votes for small and large sums of money, without regard to principle or the man, they are voting for, we would not be surprised when we wake up and find that the negroes of Sedalia are not allowed to vote again when we let the class of men control the negro votes of Sedalia and Pettis county, we need never expect to keep a negro janitor or policeman or get even a negro clerk or judge at the election, not saying a word about anything else. So we appeal to the thinking class of negroes today, don't sit still and let your duty in this respect go undone. You are the light of your race in this city, you must make it shine, in every manner of life and do your part by fighting down evil that is dragging the negroes of Sedalia down as fast as time can roll around.

Last Sunday was observed as children's day at the C. M. E. church. Quite an elegant program was rendered during the day and night. The children's program was rendered in the afternoon, and the program for the older members and friends at night Some of the most important features of the evening was the addresses delivered by Rev. J. W. Stimond, Edward Thomas and Wm. Johnson. Professionals, amateurs and every one interested in the game before making their base ball purchases should not fail to see the swell line carried by Gieschen & Viebrock, hardware and sporting goods dealers, 116 West Main st. Spauldings goods head the list but they also carry others of the most reputable manufacturers of the country. A special large selection of bats and mitts. It is said the Blues got on ak as soon as they got their balls at Gieschen & Viebrock's. Rev. E. D. Burns and members of the Free Will Baptist church are arranging to have the corner stone laying of their new church July 18, when the members, led by their able pastor expect to have a grand time. Efforts are being made to have a big parade, headed by the Queen City Cornet band, and followed by the Masonic orders and members of this church. The bills will be out shortly announcing the entire program. Rev. Burns is doing good work, and deserves the hearty patronage of Sedalia church goers. The attitude of Booker T. Washington with regard to higher education for the Negro is amplified when it is known that there isn't a Negro in the faculty of Fisk University. Only three negroes in Atlanta university and none in Lincoln, while Tuskegee institute gives employment to 28 negroes who have finished a full or partial college course. While these peseismic race prophets are condemning Mr. Washington and his school, yet it remains for Booker T to provide employment for the graduates of the institutes to which these calamity howlers take occasion to refer. Tuskegee institute is doing more for the elevation of the negro intellectually, morally and industrially than any negro institution in the country. And that negro man who masters the curriculum of Howard, Yale or Cornell and who puts it to no use is simply a fool with a good memory. It is to be regretted that there are not more institutions which manifest the same kind of praatical interest in college education that Tuskegee institute does. Every young man should come forward in life with the determination to do all the good he can and to leave the world better for his having lived therein. He should consider that he was not made for himself alone, but for society, for mankind and for God and whether rich or poor, high or low, he should take life like a man, take it just as though it were as it is—an earnest, vital essential affair. Take it just as though you personally were born to the task of performing a merry part in it, as though the world had waited for your coming. We must live for something, and for something worthy of life and its capabilities and opportunities, for noble deeds and achievements; every man and every woman has his or her assignments in the duties and responsibilities of daily life. We are in the world to make the world better to lift it up to higher levels of enjoyment and progress, to make the hearts and homes brighter by devoting to our fellows our best thoughts, activities and influences. This is lifes grandest purpose. The great purpose of living is twofold in character. The one should never change from the time reason takes the helm; it is to live a life of manliness, of purity and of honor, to live such a life that whether rich or poor your neighbor will honor and ressect you as a man of sterling principles. The other is to have some business in the due performance of which you are to put forth all your exertions. It matters not so much what it is as whether it be honorable, and it may change to suit varying circumstances. When these two objects, character and high aim, are fairly before a youth what then? He mustain those object must work as well as pray. his hand must be as stout as his heart, his arm as strong as his head-purpose must be followed by action, then is he living and acting worthily as becomes a human be ing with great destinies in store for him. The case of E. H. Shaw was postponed again from the June court to November court.

At a meeting of the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society in Buffalo the past week a resolution was adopted declaring that the feeling against negroes manifested by many white people and the idea that negroes were not capable of developing a sturdy moral character were un-Christian and not justified by the findings of missionaries working among them. OUR GIRLS The sight of some of our girls mounting men's bicycles, assisted by half-grow boys is becoming a matter of common occurrence and one to be regretted exceedingly. Girls are fast losing what little modesty they did pretend to have, and are convincing observers that modesty is a thing of the past. The mothers of these girls have not the slightest idea as to their whereabouts and apparently do not exert themselves to find out. The saving of the Negro race depends upon its women and girls, and at the rate our girls are going the future holds small hopes for its redemption.—Palladium.

The colored people of our city have already begun to get ready for August 4th and the indications are beginning to look as though we were going to have another war between ourselves for the crowd. About three weeks ago we were informed by W. B. Williams and others that the majority of the colored people wanted to spend Aug. fourth out of the city, and that he and others had arranged to run a big excursion. Healso said that the reason why they wanted to go out of town this year was because the merchants and business men of the city would not do anything in the way of helping the colored people of our city in bringing thousands of visitors here to spend their onney and that they would arrange to go to some other town this year. During last week we notice that another company or crowd had been formed and they are arranging to hold a big celebration in the city on August 4th. Mr. August Jackman and James Newbills are at the head of this movement and they claim that this year's cecelation will exceed that of last year, the Liberty park has already been secured by them for this day and the matters is now being pushed to the highest. Mr. Jackman and Newbills had this park last year and made quite a success but they said they did not realize much from the blowout. So the battle is now on and from all appearances will get hotter and hotter until the final day. The TIMES has only this to say in regard to the matter, that we are always for Sedalia and her people first and the neighboring towns next, and if we can draw a big crowd of colored people to our city on August 4th and they leave two or three thousand dollars in our city, it benefits us all in some way, and hence it is the duty of every individual to work for his own city. But the fact that it takes considerable money to make an attractive celebration and the colored people's means are so very limited, then the merchants who realize all the celebration fund should donate liberally and help the boys and if they don't or won't then we don't blame the people for going elsewhere and celebrate ing. And again, if the cooled people of our city want to hold a big celebration it should be universary and open so that the white people can join in and help make it and that the public can derive some of the benefits and not individuals always. But our churches have a chance to help the treasurer from these public days—have a joint meeting and select committees for the different works of the celebration, and then we can get more hep from the white merchants, railroad and street cars, and again we would not have a gang pulling this In last week's Commoner Mr. Bryan discusses, "How rich should one be" and gives some very interesting read- You can get good. first-class Meals and Lunches at all hours for 15 and 25c at Where you can always go good Fresh Fish, Pies cake t spare ribs, and Ice Cream eves, Sunday.

"No one," he says, "is in a position to answer the question authoritatively, although there are certain general principles which should govern the solution." The most important of those principles which he gives is how much should a man eat? A number of excerpts from the article in question will prove very interesting. "No one can justify the overloading of the stomach merely to tickle the palate or to satisfy anunnatural appetite. The welfare of man is above the monetary pleasures of gluttony, and so is the welfare of the body more to be considered than epigurian delights * * * If man has no higher purpose in life than to eat, he is lower than the beasts forhe neglects to feed the mind and the soul. There are things which money cannot buy. * * * The creator was not so unkind as to make one's highest enjoyment rest upon so unsubstantial a foundation as dollars, nor does he dole out joy in proportion to one's earthly possessions. Compare the hap piness of the virtues cottage covered couple whose souls are held together by the indissoluble bonds of love with the estranged occupants of a palace. Compare the uplift delights of one who follows the path of duty, with the revelries of the profligate with inherited millions at his disposal "The highest purpose that a man can have is the betterment of the human family. * * * The marble statutes may be more nearly perfect in feature and in form than any living creature; its hands de no mischief; its feet run on no errands of evil and its lips speak neither lie nor blasphemy. It is a low creature of man that estimates him by his negative qualities. He must be positively good to be respected. His back even tho it bend, must help to bear his brothers load. His hands tho sometimes idle or worse than uselessly employed must have a part in the shaping and moulding of theworld; his tongue, tho it may stammer or sometimes utter what the heart would fain retract, must be the vehicle of a higher and a broader truth than can be found within selfish limits." This is all very beautiful—intensely so, but after all "How much should a manown?" How much should one eat? And if some one gets too much—e. g. Mr. Carnegie—who and by what means would you make him disgorge? Mr. Herbert Spencer speaking of property in land—see social statistics early edi—says that if a man may truly and justly own a few acres he may own many or indeed the entire earth and regulate the doings of those upon it. I would that Mr. Bryan discuss the correlative of this question. By so doing we would get something more definate. Ever keeping in mind that as to use-value the earth is worth only so much and that at any given time there are only so many to use it, will Mr. Bryan please to tell us "How poor should one be?"

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.

Gentlemen: — Being entirely cared of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this heart on setting ears, until I lost my hearing in this car entirely. I underwent a treatment for earlily, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could be顺利 and that only temporarily, that the head noise would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would not forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York year, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noise ceased, and after five weeks my hearing in the diseased car has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and buy in resale. Y. A. WERMAN, tyr b. Bradbury, Baltimore, Md. Our broadband these and many others with your personal correspondence.

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 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 cathartics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T DO IT—give them LAXAKOLA. For constipation, coated tongue, simple cold, 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 cold 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 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 intestines, and I did not need to worry. He was getting worms. I stopped giving him his medicine, so he could keep nothing on his stomach. He was troubled with colic very much, and used to screen him with a touch of his hand. I did not know what it was to close my eyes day or night. I gave him a few drops of LAXAKOLA and it relieved him. I gave it to him a few times, and it worked like a charm, and he no longer was restless. I thought it would give nothing else to their sick babies." MRS. MARY DALEY, 597 First Street, South Boston, Mass. 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 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. What Mr. Mee, Mr. Fruh, R. Palestine, O. Er, 125, appy about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample, it has done so much good, send me a 56c. bottle." March 28. "Bottle came sale, did me a lot of good, dragget here don't keep it, so enclosed is 56c. please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 18. "Enclosed is 56c. 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.
