The outlook for a great exhibit of horses at the State Fair, August 17.22, is so promising that the directors are compelled to largely extend their horse stables. One firm has already contracted for fifty-five stalls, another for thirty, and many other breeders and importers have signified their intention to make a display from their stables. In addition to these, the best animals in the hands of individual owners will be exhibited. Every class will be hotly contested. The best animals in America will be displayed. Many importations will be made from Europe this summer, that were purchased with a view of adding to the reputation of their owners and will be shown for the first time in this country at the State Fair. The display will embrace the best animals from both continents, and for high class animals will probably surpass any exhibition ever made in this country. NEGRO EDITORS MEET.

We cordially extend an invitation to members of the fraternity through out the country to meet with us at Colorado Springs to consider those questions so vital to the welfare of the race in this country. Recent developments show the need of intelligent and thoughtful members of the race and the press must undoubtedly take the lead. The official program that will be published later, will up up to the usual high standard. We would again urge upon every paper and its entire staff to make this meeting a personal matter, in order to secure a large and enthusiastic gathering. The executive committee, W. W.

MOB LAW—ITS CAUSE AND CURE So much is being said these days about mob rule and maltreatment of the colored race in our own papers, it is well to let others, when they desire, speak for us. The following editorial from the Springfield Republican on Tuesday, the 7th, is the best that can be said on that subject. Says that paper: SEDALIA MISSOURI, JULY 18 1903 Riot feeds and grows upon riot, mob stimulates to mob and through much exercise white savagery finally rolls over the offending black in a frenzy of fury directed against the whole race as it comes within reach—and there is developed such a state of race warfare as the news of yesterday and today tells of in Indiana and South Carolina. The facts are of the gravest portent. "Followng numerous demonstrations of the kind in Illinois, Indiana and many other northern towns of late, a white mob of Evansville undertook to deal with a negro who had shot a white man and who was in the hands of the law. This is a city of about 60,000 people, not more than 7,000 of whom are colored. No outrage upon a woman entered into this case and there was present no danger of 'negro domination.' But the mob appeared for all that and finally took possession of the whole city. It partly wrecked the jail in an effort to get at and kill or burn the offending negro, and failing in that, it proceeded to attack unoffending negroes wherever found. It fired into their homes, wrecked their houses, whipped a number of them and started for material with which to blow up the whole negro quarter. Then the negroes, in desperation, began to organize in armed bands, and there followed the looting of gun stores, the march and counter march of armed groups of both colors, the firing of rifles and revolvers, the wounding, if not the killing of many, and a general reign of terror, extending over a day and a night. "While this was going on in a northern state there was similar trouble in a southern, with the position of the two races somewhat reversed. A negro at Norway, S. C., last week, for some reason, shot a white man, who is still alive. He was promptly seized by a white mob, hung up to a tree limb and riddled with bullets, his body being kept hanging a whole day with the copper-colored face gleaming in the sunlight as a warning to colored folks thereabouts. By way of further warning several of them were whipped. Strangely enough, they resented such treatment and as they are largely in the majority at that point. They began to gather outside the town, arming and organizing, and for a day or two the whites in the town have been in a state of terror. Their women and children were concentrated in a few well guardd houses, all lights were extinguished at night, and armed whites patrolled the streets, momentarily expecting attack, until relieved by a company of state militia hurried to their rescue. At last accounts the negroes were still massed and armed and threatening vengeance "These two latest cases in the present extraordinary development of our race trouble teach us that beyond a certain point the negro will not show his back to his pursuers. He will turn and fight. Somewhere in this rush of white savagery against him there seems to rise up a wall in his path. It is reared by the bare instinct of self preservation. It catches him and he turns at bay to sell his life as dearly as possible. It is surprising, gentle Christian Anglo-Saxon, that he should do this Do you think he is not merely less than man, but less than the lowest among the living creatures of God? "Ah, but we may make a mistake in this. The indications are that we have. The negro can fight as well as anybody. This has been proved before now and in battle not for his own life, but for the cause of his country. And he can be depended on evidently to fight when driven squarely on the earth. We are permitting appears the question of solution? Do we continue to have the matter of education pressed? If it is education of the black that is needed at just this point? If so, should it be industrial or technical or acedemic or higher or lower? Will that prevent the white savage from pursuing the unoffending negro to the wall, or disperse the mob which gathers to burn the offending one? What needs to be done just now is to act law and prison bars and the legal hangman for mob leaders as well as black ravishers and murderers, and talk education rather for white savages—education in the common qualities of an ordinary and decent humanity. That is where we most need to have education applied at the moment, and preliminary work thereto lies in the merciless suppression of the mob which is now raging through the country. These mob leaders, breeders of the horrors armed conflict of races, should be dealt with as though they were mad dogs running at large, and the officers of the law who are first to stand out in mastery against these demonstrations of racial savagery will win the lasting applause of all law loving people." DR. CRUM ON LYNCHING. It has been left to Dr. William D. Crum, the much opposed collector of custom at Charleston, S. C., to condone lynching. This is the same Dr. Crum for whose appointment the whole colored, as well as the fairer portion of the white press fought and who was turned down nevertheless by the Jim-crow sentiment of the country. Crum speaking in Chicago the other day, said: "Lynchings savor of the barbarism of the dark ages, but we must consider the crimes that provoke them. They are so atrocious that no punishment is too severe. "Too many persons denounce lynchings without considering their cause. If the law was quick and decisive, there would be fewer lynchings. There should be no delay. Mob violence is always to be condemned. It respects the rights of no one. When a man is guilty he has no rights, but too often a mistake is made and the wrong person meets a horrible death. "The remedy is to exterminate the horrible wretches who commit the crimes—not by killing them, but by teaching them better." Now in another column of this paper it will be tound that but a very small part of the lynchings this year can be attributed to the atrocious crime.. The remainder ranges from charge of impudence to murder, and in most cases there is no positive proof of guilt. Dr. Crum ought to know this and possibly does, but was so anxious to get into the band wagon with what seems to be prevalent opinion of the south and thereby ingratiate himself into the favor of his section, that he will allow no opportunity to pass without an effort at repairing his shat tered fortune. But the question still remains that most of those who are lynched are negroes; that it is not of the best element of a community that engages in them, and in most cases the mob does not wait for the courts to act. The feeling which causes a mob to break into jail and lynch a negro is the same with that which inspires opposition to negro office holding. It is based on race hatred, which in our case is made all the more marked and distinct by a difference of color! Colored men in this country, therefore, have nothing to gain by endorsing lynching by inference or otherwise. They are simply lending color to the notion already abroad that they are different from others and must therefore be treated different both in civil and public life.. We colored people must stand for the just enforcement of the laws, and in no case allow the country to believe, or ourselves to feel, that anything less than equal and exact justice (the same as others demand) will do for us. Lynchings under any and all circumstances is a sign of disintegration of society and how far the American had made pro gress in this line can be readily seer by the number and barbarity of the lynchings!-The Guardian.

Main st. at 50c bottle Rev. W M Johnson of the A E E church of Wilmington, Del., has signified his intention of sending a petition to the Russian government imploring it to intervene in the interest of the outraged Negroes in America. We believe the time for sending a petition is quite opportune. Not that we expect Russia to take any action in the premises, but it would open the eyes of Europe to the hypocrisy of the U. S, and to its ineffectual efforts to enforce the law. Our country would then see her self as others see her. The outrages perpetrated upon the Jews in Kishiniff were not to be compared with the inhuman and barbarous torture of the negro in Deleware which rivaled the cruelties of the Inquisition. The semi civilized Russians must have hung their heads in shame when they saw that their fiendish crimes had been outdone in darkest Deleware. U. B. F, Sedalia Lodge Prof Williams, deputy organizer of the U B F's and S M F's., has been in the city all week organizing this order which was completed last Fr day nbght. The officers are as follows: Dr. C. S. Walden, W. M. Jos. Guy, D. M. W. H. Carter, Secretary. Taylor Williams, Ass't secretary W. B. Williams, Treasurer. Rev. P. M. Mack, Chaplain. David Gaston, S.

The street railway company of Memphis, finding it expensive and inconvenient to operate cars for negroes and whites, entered the courts and secured a decision that this provision is unconstitutional. If the running of Jim Crow street cars is unconstitutional, and the courts of Tennessee have so de clared it to be, why are no Jim Crow railway cars unconstitutional also. The decision of the court in Tennessee shows the power of cor- ```markdown ``` porations to accomplish that which individuals can not. The negroes of Virginia and other southern states have gone into the courts to prove that the separate coach law is unconstitutional and failed. What these negroes failed to establish the street railway company of Memphis has established. The cafe has been appealed, but it is doubtful if the opinion of the lower court will be reversed. With this rocedent established in Tennessee MORE MONEY FOR NEGROES This Time By a Woman. Among others the following Negro institutions are to be benefited by the bequests of the late Mary M Johnson, viz: The Shelter Home for Colored Orphans $5,000. Home for Aged and Infirm Colored Persons, $10,000. For Destitute Colored Children, $5000. Schools for Black People and their Descendants, $5000. Friends' Freedmen Ass'n $1000 Institute for colord youths, 51000 Emlen Institute for children of African and Indian descent, $5000 Bethany mission for colored people, $3000 Association of Friends for the free instruction of adult colored persons, $500, and many other gifts which will directly and indirectly benefit the negro By Judde'Ashman's decision of last Friday the institutions named will come into immediate possession of their respective bequests. Mary M. Johnson was a resident of Philadelphia, and the amounts of her bequests are $130,771.76. THE SKINNED, THE SKINNER AND THE SKIN. The rose is burned for private profit, said the Quiz Devil, and the ashes sold for public perfume. I mean, he continued, that postal affair, and that makes me think some. You know the Postmaster General's report for 1893 says the government pays the rai roads 8 cents per pound to carry the U S mail. Cowler, Freight and Passenger Post, says the haul is less than 442 miles. Now here is where the delicate looking arraignment comes in Cowler says the expressage from New York to Chicago, over 1,000 miles, is $3 per 100. Well, chirruped Quiz Devil, what I can't see is this, why the government has to pay 8c for less than a 3c haul. Nor is this all. The government pays for the handling of its mail. Now for what reason do the railroads charge the government three times as much as they do the express company? Why, this government makes a debt the people are pledged to pay it? Why make the debt unnecessarily heavy? What incentive is there for officials to make such abnormal contracts? Say, this reminds me of the Garden of Eden affair, said the Quiz Devil thoughtfully.

COOK REMEDY CO --- ```markdown ``` 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 it 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 ciatharties that rack and rend 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 colds 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 a paper bag. He was getting worse, and the pain kept him moving his hands in his mouth. He was troubled with cold very much, and to scream when he had a touch of it. 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 had no pretty fair all night. I was looking baby sister I gave him LAXAKOLA, and I think if I had not given would give nothing else to their baby sisters." 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. Kw, Pru, K. E. Palestine, O, Bov 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample, it has done so much good, send me a 4c. bottle." March 28, "Bottle came sale, did me a lot of good, druggist here don't keep it, so enclosed is 5c. please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 5th, "Enclosed is 5c. 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 best adapted to that purpose.

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. 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 in a condition of health and enables it to ward off disease, while its tonic properties tone up the system and keep it healthy. Laxakola Does It. Blotched, sallow, unwholesome and muddy skin, with its consequent mortification, often leading to morbid seclusion and aversion to food, and to the risk of food being the only way to clear the complexion and restore it to its normal healthy, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, purify the blood and remove the bacteria.

The chances are that a one-time advertisement or a very small advertisement will not pay. It is only continuous, persistent effort and effort that is strong enough to make an impression, that will be found adequately profitable. Once in a while the one-time advertisement, on a special occasion will bring good results, but no one time in a hundred, unless the advertiser has been fair well advertised in the community before. A 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 built enough to stick out of the water they would lose their time and their stones. But if they go on, put in good, solid foundation and build up from that, they will in time "It is only continuous, persistent effort—effort strong enough to make an impression that will, be found profitable." raise a pier that will be strong and permanent, and that will hold up a useful and necessary bridge. It is just so with advertising. The first ads you drop in only serve as a foundation. They do not serve as anything if you do not drop in enough of them. If you keep on piling one on top of the other, in the end you will have a pier which will sustain the bridge of business all the rest of your life. The water of competition will waste away some of the stones, and they will have to be replaced, but once the pier is built the repairs will not be very expensive. BUSINESS "You will have a pier which will sustain the bridge of business." The water of competition will waste away some of the stones, and they will have to be replaced, but once the pier is built the repairs will not be very expensive. CASH OR CREDIT. Catalogue FREE.
