Andrew Carnagie Presides at a Meeting to Consider It. New York.—Negro industrial education and its bearing on the race problem was discussed at a meeting of the Hampton institute, held here tonight, by Andrew Carnegie. President Elliot, of Harvard, Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee institute, and Principal Frissel, of Hampton institute. Mr. Carnegie presided. Ex-President Cleveland sent a letter in which he said: "I am so completely convinced of the importance of the cause as it is related to the solution of a problem no patriotic citizen should neglect that I look upon every attempt to stimulate popular interest and activity in its behalf as a duty of citizenship. Different sections of our country are affected in different degrees, and with greater or less directness, but it seems to me all must concede that no agencies can possibly do better service in the cause of Negro amelioration than the institutions in which they are taught to be self-supporting and self-respecting." —Ex. MISSOURI'S HOSTESSES ARE CHOSEN. Missouri's hostesses for the World's Fair have been selected. They are Mrs. Emma D. Nuckels, of Jefferson City, and Mrs. Belle Hall Small, of Sedalia. The appointments were made at a special meeting of the Missouri World's Fair Commission the middle of February, but the announcements were withheld until the meeting of the Commission in St. Louis this week. President M. T Davis, of Springfield, gave out the information. Mrs. Nuckels is the widow of the late J. M. Nuckels, who was a well known editorial writer on the St Louis Republic and later of the Kansas City Times. She is also the daughter of Dr. E. J. Davison, a prominent physician of the capital city. Mrs. Small is likewise a Missouri woman. Most of her life has been spent in Sedalia, where her father, John L. Hall, has been in the wholesale mercantile business since the early sixties. She was educated at Stephen College, Columbia, and is the widow of Dr. E. N. Small, for many years chief surgeon of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway. The hostesses will be jointly in charge of the Missouri building so fas as the social side is concerned, and will be equal in rank. Their active duties begin upon the opening of the Fair and the salary is $200 per month each. SKDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, MARCH 18 1904. GREATER VICTORIES GREATER VICTORIES AWAIT US. Hannibal, after having led his hardy troops by unknown paths across unbridged and turbulent streams, through tangled forests and hordes of savage and hostile tribes, by the rugged and perilous steeps of the Alps all enshrouded in snow, until he stood upon the very crest of Italy's natural barriers, which for ages had kept the savages of the North from overrunning the fertile fields of the South and which had stood like a giant of nature to protect the sleeping infant of civilization from the murderous attacks of barbarism, thus address his soldiers: "You, brave soldiers, have surmounted the Alps, fair Italy lies before you. You shall conquer your enemies, and great shall be your reward." To every aspiring youth, hope has thus addressed itself, has filled up the mind with thoughts of greater victories, has brightened future with a glorious rain-bow, whose semi-circumference rests its ends upon the two opposite cardinal points of the compass. It has raised him in his imagination from the ranks to captain, to major, to colonel, to general and general leading armies from conquest to victory, and from victory to greater victories. Every boy that steals away from home for the arduous and perilous life of the sea, behold in himself the future captain of a ship, and even perchance the commodore of an argosy. Every clerk in his apprenticeship works out for himself a steady line of advancement until he shall manage a business of his own having employees subject to his call and order; and no matter what may be our occupa- pation, in the beginning we fancy a finish superior to that of the start. The whole book of life is closed before us, we read but a page at a time, we can read but a page at a time, but we are ever hopeful that the next shall be more entrancing, more sublime, the food for thought more palatable, the measure of knowledge greater, life's accomplishments more renown, beauty more magnificent, scenery more varied, field of activity broader, troops marshalled to a greater number, the conflict more fierce, and the victory more complete. The whole of every man's life is lived in expectation of greater victories, a victory over disease which may have been blighting the stem of life for years; a victory over the vagaries of the mind which have been a hinderance to the concentration of thought upon a single purpose, that is defeating his life's aims; a victory over poverty which starves the body and enfeebles the mind; a victory over passion which precipitates the human oft times into a sea of boundless trouble; a victory over arrogance which begets to one hanty pride and numberless enemies, a victory over self, which is more than being a lead- er of men, yea, more than being a prince of a people. For a healthy child the more mature years of manhood await; for the blossoming tree the day of fruitage; for the lamb that gambols upon the sword the leadership of the flock. Alexander curbing the fiery horse Beaucephelus was only abiding his time when he would put the iron bit of his power in the mouths of all the nations of the world. George Washington at Valley Forge was looking forward to York-Town. Grant upon that terrible Sunday morning at Shilo had been dreaming of Missionary Ridge, the slave in his hut looked forward to his freedom. It came. It's here. It's here to stay. We have it not only in the body being free, but we have it in our minds. And through the help of Jehovah we will maintain it with our lives. Yes freedom came when we were at very bottom of object and debased servitude. It came when our enemies said it would not come. It came because God is the author of freedom. So shall our wrongs be righted, our liberties restored, for "tis a faithful saying worthy of all acceptance "that truth crushed to earth will rise again." I cannot believe we havereahed the limits of our advancement. For what obtains in making one race prosperous and renowned, will obtain under like conditions in making another race renown. If other people have worked out their greatness, is it even reasonable to suppose that greatness will be trusted upon us? If other races were centuries acquiring their accumulations of wealth and power, is it reasonable to expect us to acquire it in less than a half century? You tell me the Negro has no capital, I tell you the settlers, at Jamestow had no capital and a very small desire to work, and yet they now have America. You say they have no cities, neither did the Dutch have New York. That city was bought for less than $25.00. You say the times have change; yes, but "what man has done, man may do." You say but we are Negroes; but individual Negroes have struggled out the mire and have reached high and dry ground. You say the whites are prejudiced against us, yes that is true, and in a sense it will continue to grow until it will so drive us together until we shall at last stick. The wandering of the children in the wilderness, was only a final preparation for their entering into the promise land. True not many who set out came to that happy destination, but their children did. We shall be happy, that if we shall so travel, that from the Pigah of this oppression, our posterity shall be able to view the promise land of equality before the law and before all men. The swinging pendulum of the clock is highly indicative of race prejudice. Give the pendulum an impetuous stroke, it will sway more than once, more than twice, more than thrice ere it comes to a stand still in the centre of its vibrating arc. Wind the clock and the pendulum may move toand-fro for years. The races' prejudice has been wound-and that regularly. Though however attentive you may be to the mechanism of the clock, no matter how often you my wind it up, it must after a while wear out, its hands cease to circle upon its face, the stroke, of its bell forbear to ring, the pendulum refuse to move. The complicated machinery has died a natural death. We bespeak for this prejudice the same finality. The laws of nature make no exception to man or man's inventions. This stalking giant of prejudice must die. And from his pruited and decaying body will rise such a stench that will make us all ashamed of having ever entrained such a foul guest. What intelligent man or woman can trace the events of the last half century and not see the real and genuine progress the Negro has made. It is as one has said, "not the height which we have attained, though we have attained a lofty one, but the depth whence we came that works our marvelous progress." What sane man expected or even hoped that those who once claimed us as their chattel would accept us upon the terms of equality? Who could not see that such a thought even would be resisted? Who expects the Negro to weigh the same in the scale of civilization a half-century from cruel slavery and semibarbarism? But who even if his bitterest enemies can fail to see the great strides of advancement which he is steadily and regularly taking? And if to the duties of the present and the future prove the same measure of faithfulness that has been found in us in the past, there is no question but greater victories await us. G-E. Johnson, who is in the employ of U. F. Short, came in our office Sunday and bade us God's speed in our efforts. He says that when the battle becomes severe, and we are in need of soldiers, call on him for both financial and moral support. Alright, valient soldier, Jonhson, we, the captains of this little craft, now launched out upon these treacherous tides of prejudiced opionion, enlisting warriors to battle manfully and heraically for the races' best interests, issue this order to you: Put on the whole armor of "Race Pride," draw from the seabard the sword of "manly contention" and clinch between thy teeth the "grit and stamina" to stand for principle, and come on down the line fighting. We'll meet you at the waterloo of all our races' traitors and opposers. In the absence of Rev. R. Davis, the pulpit was filled by the young clergy from the College-Rev. Todd in the morning and Rev. L. R. Grant in the evening. Rev. Grant took for his theme, last Sunday night, obedience. He didn't fail to attack the women, for support of his argument, he recited many excerpts from Bible and History showing woman remarkably conspicuous in the art of disobedience. But the Rev. failed to say anything about the disobedience of the Church, generally to its written discipline NO.46. SQUIBS. This is March. Peach crop gone. Farmers moving about.

Too long have we waited for others to express themselves then here we --- Sedalia Weekly Conservator. come lagging after. Cease to be laggards; stand in the front rank of aggressive thinkers. The boodling corruptionist is found thru-out the land. In the municipal assembly, state Legislation and our Federal Congress, evidence of corruption is so apparent that the charges are openly avowed. It is very probable that the American people have seen a plenty of this wholesale graft and it may be safely observed that the conservative citizen will be more in evidence hereafter in our various caucuses, ward, county, district and state. Hence, one addition good, that will ultimately accrue from the startling revolutions made by recent investigation thru-out the country, will be the ostracism of the professional sharp practice politician and substitute the prudent business man in his stead. The sooner such revolutions are wrought the better for the common good of the whole "Body Politic." Still another substantial good will be the curtailment of partisan animosity. Men will act from the promptings of common sense more hereafter and less from prejudice and partisan hate. As a raee, the Negro, teo, will be guided more by business sagacity than from racial or partisan zeal. God speed those conservators of the state and nation in their work of unearthing rascality in all quarters. GROUND-BREAKING On Tuesday morning at 9:00 o'clock, the citizens of Sedalia had the good pleasure of assemblying in Geo. R. Smith College Chapel and listening to a brilliant and forceful discourse, by Dr. M. C. B. Mason. Senior Secretary of the F. A. & S. E. Society. We were late in the Chapel, so did not hear the first part of his discourse, but got enough out of the latter part to give us a new inspiration. The Dr. touched on the Negro Problem and said "the reason there is such a problem is because the best white people do not understand the best colored people, nor do they make any effort to know or understand them." One would think that the Dr. had lived here in Sedalia, from the way he described the attitude of our white brothers to us. But, this goes to prove that this race hatred-prejudice-is universal and not merely local. And upon the utterance, of the Doctor could be written many articles, showing how weighty it is when practically considered. As truly as the good Dr. Mason said there is kind of a feeling on the part of the white man to doubt the Negro's ability to master the problems of life, and also, an unwillingness to give the Negro the benefit of the doubt by according him a little better chance than was thought he deserved. But to eradicate this feeling and unwillingness, is the task before us. Herein lies a part of the future of the Negro; herin lies the only way out of this universal difficulty. The "how" presents itself in many phases—some complex and some simple. To deal with the simple first, is always the best. So if we are really anxious about the development of the best there is in the community, we must study to put ourselves in touch with the best men and women in the community: we must be present at all public functions, called by public men to consider and plan out the best We also sell all kinds of Canned Goods, Cigars Tobacco, Butter, Eg s, Etc. QUICK DELIVERY --- for the people generally, and there give a vociferous demonstration of our attitude and sentiment toward the execution of such plans. To my mind, there seems to be an unwritten law, that whatever benefits one part of a community benefits the whole community. Th before, if it will benefit the Negro to receive a purely christian recognition from his white brother, it would benefit the white man to give it, for then would die the prejudiced feeling of race animosity; then would harmony in the fairest sense predominate. Harmony is what we should seek, and there is but one way to get it, and that way is, to align ourselves with the white man of principle and not against him. For it is a fact, that when ever a Negro is found to be a man, a broad man, a thinking, man, an upright, honest man, the white man will accord him all the respect-throw wide ajar the gates of "chance" and will give all the aid he can for that man's advancement.

His brother came up and consulted Dr. J M. Harris, who immediately set about to treat him. For six weeks Mr. Arnold obeyed Dr. Harris' instructions and took the medicine prescribed for him. Friday of last week Mr. Arnold came to Sedalia to visit the Doctor and get acquainted with the man who treated and gave him a new lease on life. Mr. Arnold's very expression showed his deep feelings of respect and esteem for the Doctor. Dr. Harris treated this patient six weeks without seeing him.
