C Wisman, of St Mary's convent, Ex on Ruthand, England, relative to the resolutions passed by the Association during its session in Colorado Springs: DEAR SIR; I understand that your Association intends to apply to our new pontif, Pias X, to obtain his mediation respecting that cruel practice of lynching, so often suffered by your countrymen in the United States. I sincerly hope that your Association will make the application as you will be sure of a paternal response Now, as I write articles for the benifit of the poor, may I ask if you will take from me a poem written upon the subject of lynching and directly addreseed to the holy tather? I had the honor of having one of my songs (Ode to Leo XIII) presented to his late holiness. I should be glad to hear from my many friends, perhaps later on you will take from me a story upon the same subject; it may help to show the cruelty and injustice to the world at large The above is a sample of the work being accomplished by the Western Negro Press Association This organization is attracting the attention of the combined world: and good results will be realized from its efforts—Plaindealer The Times has the honor of being a member of the grand Association SEDALIA MISSOURI, OCTOBER 2 1903 Proceeds in short of the First Supreme Convention of the Royal Sons and Daughters of Douglas, Heid at Warrensburg, Mo September 24, 24 and 26-03 —FIRST DAY—THURSDAY MORNING SESSION.— The first Supreme Royal Convention of the Royal Sons and Daughters of Douglas, was declared opened of business at 9:30 by Rev T.

Mrs Effie Hawkins, daughter of Mr and Mrs Walter, a very prominent family of our city, died last Wednesday, at her home on north Ohio street at the age of 24 years. Mrs Hawkins was a residence of St Louis after her marraige, until she had taken sick, afterwards she was removed to her parents in this city and under their best care, she lingered along until the final hour to bid them good bye, in the hopes of meeting them where parting will be no more. She was a good girl, one that was loved and respected by all who knew her, and for number of years was good member of Taylor chapel, and died the same. She often spoke of the parting hour to her friends, and never failed to tell them that she was waiting and watching for the death Angel to come at the Lord's command. The funeral were held Thursday evening at the M E Church of which a large crowd of friends gathered to bide her a long but sad good bye.

If these giants of dis content would devote their time and energy to the development of the resources of the south and to the education of the southern child ren generally, teey would be doing a service for their country and humanity that would shed fuster upon their own careers and unbounded good to posterity. The constitution of the United States has always been a menace to a portion of these southern statemen. If the bettes element of the country would allow these unAmerican office holders, they would rend the countyr in twain to gratify their prejudice. This distinguished bourbon should first have the preamble to the constitution changed. In it he will find that the belief that all men were free and equal was one of the fundamental reasons for the existence of out institutious. So far as the disfranchisement of the Negro is concerned, he will sooner or later have his rights. While he feels keenly the unnecessary humiliation accorded him by those who should be his friends, he cannot and will not stop his faithful endeavor to elevate himself and posterity intellectually and materially.—Cal, Independent Before the next issue of our paper gets to our many reader, the Rev Wm.

He is in every respect a broad christain man and has so conducted himself in this broad manner as to keep in touch with every denomination and with all classes, at the same time made his first year a pleasant one in our midst. Should conference see fit to change him from this field of labor, we would lose a valuable man, one whoes standard and like ness cannot easily be filled. But should he be sent back, all of our proud citizens will join us in saying welcome! Welcome to our churches and our homes, as one of God's servants and a true representative of the great African Methodist church It seem as if the more that is said in the Negro press concerning the treatment given the Negro in certain business houses in our city the more they patronize them. They seem to think that they are playing a swell, and are doing what they call up to date. They must have the same kind of money as the white man, he don't get the same returns, he must pay his money for his goods, but yet he must be pushed off in some corner like a beast, because he is black. True that there are people who do not care where they eat or go, nor for what kind of accommodation they receive just so they get what they want. But they never stop to think that the money he spends must be good money, and commands the same value, respect and accommodations as it would had it came from the white man. We must learn to maintain our rights as American citizens, and when we that one business or more our city deny us its privilages; let us resist the ensult by spending money else where, where we can get same value and the same accommodati'n as other people, with the same kind of money that is recognized the world over.

No. 26. How do you expect your advertising to pay unless you give it proper attention? You wouldn't plant seed in a garden and never look at it again. If you did, the chances are that it would never grow into the ! I saw a notice the other day of an advertisement which had been run continuously in identically the same form since 1866. That advertisement may have done some good, probably did; but to bring really adequate returns, advertising should be freshened by frequent changes of copy. I have recommended frequent changes to a man, who said: "Yes, but our newspaper charges us extra for composition if we change our ad oftener than once a week"—or once a month, as the case might be. That doesn't alter the case at all. The advertisement should be changed, and, if it costs a little more, it costs a little more, and that's all there is of it. It will pay to pay the additional charge. "You wouldn't plant seed in the garden and never go near it again." A shrewd advertiser said to me recently: "I like to advertise in papers which charge a good, stiff, extra rate for display and for the insertion of cuts. The fact that they do this prevents a good many people using them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, run- "Do not say you haven't the time." them, and as a consequence, my ads are very much more prominent, for I always pay the extra price and use the cuts and display." Advertisements should never be prepared in a hurry. There ought to be some particular time set apart in each day, or each week, for the consideration of this question. Do not wait until the last minute, and then write something hurriedly, running the risk of making mistakes, and with almost the certainty of failing to get a really good announcement. A bad advertisement in a good paper may possibly do pay. ads; It isn't such a hard thing to write good it is mainly a question of taking time enough and giving the matter the requisite amount of thought. Do not say you haven't time, because this part of the business is just as important as any other. In one sense, it is more important, because without it the business cannot amount to very much.

Gentlemen — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. The 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 physicians, among others, the most esteemed of all the city, who told me that only an operation was needed, that only temporarily, that the head noises would but the barking 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 clinic has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and beg to remain F. A. WERMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Our treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation!

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 falls. BEST because "Children like it and 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 violent cathartics 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 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 many things, but nothing seemed to relieve him. I had a doctor, who said it was infammation of the intestines. I never put him through a stomach, and I was just getting worse, worse, worse. I stopped giving him his medicine on his stomach. He was troubled with colic very much, and used 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 it worked all the time. He was looking baby since he had him LAXAKOLA, and I linked if a mother knew how good it was, they would give anything to also their baby babies." MIS. 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, billioness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin and dyspepsia, LAXAKOLA will invariably bring relief and a positive and permanent cure. What Mrs. Ekwu, Dr. Pugh, E. Palestine, O., Nov 125, says about LAXAKOLA. "March 11, 1901. Received your free sample, it has done so much good, send me a 50c. bottle." March 28, "Bottle came safe, did me a lot of good, drugs here don't keep it, so enclosed is 50c. please send me quickly another bottle. The last bottle did me so much good I want another at once." April 6th, "Enclosed is 50c. 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 soils in its bad condition. The only way to clear the complexion and restore it to its normal health, velvety condition is to clean out the entire system, purify the blood and remove the toxins. LAXAKOLA FOR THE COMPLEXION Pale, Weak, Run-down, Overworked Mothers with Fretty Children, half sick, nervous, tired on one hand, housecold, liver torped, with headaches, liver torped, with blotched, muddy, sallow complexions, blood thin and impure, need building up and a thorough renovation of their systems.
