Higginsville is the proper place to build up a great Negro Fair Association and we believe that the gentlemen from Lexington with those at this point will have one shortly. James Wilson, the Starter, was at his best, especially when he was about to start a "Walker." Britt Bros. surpassed them all in having a purely Down To Date lunch and refreshment stand. Wiliam Shelby displayed his wonderful horsemanship during the fair. We wonder if he means to win everything, next year. Johnny H. Jones of Saline plucked second money from the La Fayette County boys. Think of it, he did not have his best with him either. Everybody was too busy to make love during the Fair except our old friend James Wilson, of course, he was the "Starter." SEDALIA, MISSOURI, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 1904. Rev. Benjamin F. Abbott, Springfield, Mo. M. B. Pastor of Pitts's Chapel, and a devoted friend to intelligence and progress. He is one of the brightest members of the Sedalia District Conference. On the 28th., inst., he assisted Rev. R. E. Gillum in a rally at Centennial M. E. church in St. Louis, Mo. After doing the Fair, he will resume his ministerial duties at Springfield, Mo. His first rally at this place netted him $350, which is sufficient evidence of his hustling qualities. John Walker and his beautiful horse Silver Rose made an excellent showing. J W. Perry made an efficient Secretary and Mose Green filled the President's position with honor. Summer School Students Draft Resolutions. As Appreciation for Interest in Lincoln Institute C. Milton English, manager and half owner in the Sedalia Weekly Conservator visited the Fair Tuesday and W. H. Huston the other half remained Wednesday and Thursday. Begin now to boost the Fair for next year. Let it be greater, bigger, more largely attended, every department more fully filled and let every Negro in Central Missouri know a thing or two about progress and intelligence. DO YOU WANT A CHANGE? Democratic campaign managers and orators are trying to convince the voters of the nation that the time is ripe for a change. Every petty grievance against the party in power is magnified and every possible bugaboo concerning future developments is raised and waived in an effort to make the people believe that their interests and their welfare will be best subserved by abonding Republican policies and Our total commerce in Democratic 1896 was $1,661,000,000 as compared with $2,451,000,000 in Republican 1904. Do you want a change? The bank deposits in December, 1896, amounted to $4,945,000, 000 as compared with $9,530,000, 000 in December, 1904. Do you want a change? Merchandise exports in 1896 were $882,000,000 as against $1,460,000,000 in 1904. Do you want a change? The favorable balance of trade in Democratic 1896 was $102,000, 000 as against $470,000,000 in Republican 1904. Do you want a change? We imported $33,000,000 in gold in 1896 as compared with $99,000,000 in 1904, and we exported $112,000,000 in 1896 as against $81,000,000 in 1904. Do you want a change? adopting Democratic. The Democratic party completed a four years' term of power in 1896 and it may interest the voter, who is thinking the country needs a "change" to contrast the business of the nation in 1896 with that of 1904. The figures quoted are for the fiscal year, ending June 30, 1904. elevated friend to intelligence and test members of the Sedalia Dist. , he assisted Rev. R. E. Gillum in St. Louis, Mo.

As Appreciation for Interest in Lincoln Institute By liberal appropriation to maintain Summer Sessions, Election of Excellent Faculty At the recent sessions of Summer School, held at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., the students drafted the following resolutions as an act of appreciation for the opportunities afforded them thru the Board of Regents, and for the interest shown to them by Pres. Allen and Faculty. The resolutions are as follows: "Whereas, the Legislature, of Missouri, has made a liberal appropriation to Lincoln Institute, and the board of regents have, among other judicious acts, appropriated a sufficient amount of funds to maintain here a summer session, and: "Whereas, the board of regent have elected an earnest and efficient faculty, the persons of, Pres. B. F. Allen, Profs. W. E. Du Bois J. S. Moten, G. S. Murrav, J. H. Garnett, J. Silone Yates and Miss C. E. Smith. "Therefore be it resolved, that we express our appreciation to the state legislature, for the appropriation, and the board of regents, for the increased interest in the school, and the colored teachers of the state. "Resolved, further, that we thank Pres. B. F. Allen for his able supervision of the work, and the satisfactory accommodation given us, in rooms, furnishings, and board, that we point with a degree of pleasure to the cleanliness of the building and the magnificient appearance of the campus. "Be it further resolved, that the conscientious efforts, the scientific methods, and the masterful minds of the instructors, have been so helpful to us that we feel that none others could have produced better results. "Again, be it resolved, that we commend to all the teachers, of the state, and urge them to take advantage of the great provision made for them."

CLINTON The Chautauqua that is being held at the Park should be more largely attended by the reading progressive Negro. Much could be learned by attending and listening to the lectures.

Calloway's congregation has a very progressive body of young people, mostly young ladies, who meet every Monday evening to devote time toward their intellectual development.

Htdctahora decides to enter polities, It must be said for the major that not ambition aione moved him to forsake his easy, comfortable extatence for the strenuous- nexs of a political campaign—although {t must be confessed that a visit to the StALe eApital had suggested the tdew to Ris taind that bo would not be averse to spending & torm or two in the legisla- ture {n the dignified position of state senator. ‘This thought, however, had not found expression, and had been cher- tahod gecretly until he mot his old army friend, Col. Banksheat, who was just completing; his flest term in the United ‘States senate and was planning for a re- election. ‘The senator was in great per- plexity regarding the district In which the major lived, and after greetings and €n old army story or tw". toured forth his troubles “{'m afraid of this man Burke, who is the only fellow ont for the state senator- ship in this district," said he. “He Is friendly enough on the surface, but the crowd he trains with are not my friends, and there’s ne knowing who he will vote for when my matter comes up. And the worst of it Is that nobody else In the dis {rict seems to want the nomination. T ‘don't think Burke is a very strong man ‘and iL contd find the right sort of acan- didate I believe we corfid skin him out Ty Jove, major, why don’t you get ont for it yourself? You would bo juet the fellow.” “Pshaw!" returned the major, in ap~ parent disgust, but secretly pleased, “Waat would I do in a politieal cam- paign, 1 don't know anything about politics and I’m too old adog to be taught new tricks, Besides, why should f Jeave my quiet comfort and get mixed tp In a lot of hard work? My work is over, Tam enjoying the fruits of my labor.” “it wouldn't hurt you a bit," replied the senator. “You need something to stir you up, The honor and dignity of the office would not displease you and you could place your imprint on the making of history, sir, Besides, you would be doing an old comrade and friend a great service, T could depend ‘on you, So far as not knowing polities fs concerned, you would be stronger Just for that reason, You stand high in the community and you are widely known. Your motives could not be aseailed, You would make an ideal candidate. ‘The major liste ed, hesitated, and was Jost, IL is one of tne most pathetle chap- ters in political history~this plunge of ‘Maj. Hartshorn from the peaceful life of a dignified and well-to-do gentleman into tho troubled waters of political strife. ‘The “boys” ware quick to see the poesi- bilities of the situation, and the major's hank account became the objective point of the primary campaign. New candi- dates sprang up in all parts of the dis- trict and new complications ensned from day to day calling for further expend! ture of money and new anxieties, ‘To ‘the dotails of political work the major was an utter stranger. He was depend+ ent wholly upon the “workers,” and of course he became "the worked.” His peaceful home was upset and his regular hours destroyed, Instead of the well-groomed, round faced, dignitied gentleman who appeared at breakfast Uunraffled and sedate at exactly elght o'clock and took his morning watk at exactly..0:45, after perusing the morn- ing papers, partook of lunch at the club at 12:30 exactly’ and arrived home in ‘ample time for a six o'clock dinner, alter playing exactly nine games of whist, he Decame an irritable and disheyeled old man, appearing at breakfast with great circles abont his eyes and wrinkles Lo his face, probably unshaven and care- lessly dressed.

But the major’s troubles did not realty begin until after he had ceoured the nomination. For a week he had a rest and beyond some irritating slurs in the democratic papers suggesting bribery and corruption at the primaries and calle ing attention to the wealth of the re- publican candidate, he was left in peace, He was the subject of much congratulas tlon and the party newspapers abound. ed in most fulsome compliments. His Food nature returned, the rings faded from his eyes. He became partially him- telf, Then the trouble began again. In the first place the democrats nominated ‘young Rephen Murdock, who was a per- sistent suitor of his daukhter, The major disapproved of Murdock's enter- ing the field against him and there grew ‘up a coolness between Haden and bim- self—the first in their lives. ‘Then the democratle papers opened up the campaign, and the major read with astonished rage that he was a piu tocrat and the personal representative ‘ot the railroads and trusts, that vast 5) My Sai) ven} mares ey A?) og i fen: || 76 rh i AN San Oi } crar, sums had been epentin his primary campaign in corrupting votors and buy: ing off other candidates, which sums had Fbeen contributed by’ the corporations, Tho major smiled grimly atthis: When, /however, the efiarge was tate at his Fmoney had been acquired largely fn questionable transactions and hints ‘thrown out of widows and orphans robbed by his handling of thefr funds /he grow purple with rage and forbade Murdock to the honge, and ordered Helen to dismiss him forever, Then there de- scended upon his house a cloud of gloom. Helen was perennially in tears and thé major savage. It was when they as: sailed his army record and called him an incompetent and a coward that his friends feared a stroke of apoplexy ot insanity. That was the day he broke dishes and hurled a book through ihe zlass doors of his book-case, These attacks on his financial and military honor were what defeated him. Not that anybody believed them, bnt they stirred his anger to such an extent that he took to writing splenetic letter to the papers and making speeches «c full of wrath as to be incoherent. It was pointed out by the opposition press that such aman was plainly unfitted for high duties of lawmaker; that a man who could not control his temper could not be intrusted to make statutes and that he would obviously be a humilitating ‘eight in the dignified atmosphere of (he senate. His frantle asasults upon Murdock in his daughter's presence drove her ‘nearly as wild ashe, and being a Harts- horn herself quietly left the house and ‘married Stephen Murdock on election | day. This brought the major partially to his senses, He to®k atrain that night for his favorite springs: and spent a wook in quiet reflection. The result Ia best told in a terse letter to Helen upon his return. “Dear Helen," it ran, “Lam an ass— and what is worse, an oldass, Inasenilo moment I permitted my complacent van- ity to draw me into a game I knew noth- ing of. It cost me my peace of mind, my comfort of body, a quarter of my for- tune, my reputation and many of my friends, 1 hope it has not also cost me my daughter, Come home with your husband; I cannot live alone, Yours in ‘sorrow and shame.” Established One Thousand Years Ago, A singular illustration of the persis tence with which the Japanese adhere to ‘thie family Vocations ts seen in an ane nonsicement in a Japanese nowspapor | thot a celebrated dancing master wax to hold a service in honor of tho on ‘thousandth ftiniyersary of the death of bisapeestor, who wus the first uf the fame ily to take up the profession, —TitsBits, Morgan got a foot of. wuter In ‘his jaunch the other day.

That he could be capable of civilization and uplifting seems utterly ridiculous to—those who have studied him? No, to the class who dare not visit the Philippine reservation at the World's Fair for fear of being convinced against their will. That a great many of the natives of the islands could already be cultured and refined would be set down as utterly preposterous by this class. The soreheads need not be bound and carried by violence across the facsimile Bridge of Spain, through the Walled City to the heart of the most wonderful section of the entire exposition. They should only be enticed to listen for an hour to the playing of the Constabulary band. No man with an ounce of appreciation in his soul could hear that band without being convinced that the 81 men who compose its membership are far above the ordinary in both intelligence and sentiment. A nation or a race may be judged by its music. A natural feeling for rhythm and harmony is not an attribute of a chaotic or unbalanced mind. It is discord that leads the way to senseless vandalism and causeless rebellion. In behalf of the Filipino it must be said that he is a natural musician. Even the savage head hunters, in their peculiar tribal dances, manifest a remarkable feeling for rhythm. There is none of the Indian's wild noise and broken time in their beating of brass tomtoms and their somewhat monotonous singing. They possess the musical instinct that, with time and training, may be developed into just what the members of the two Philippine bands already possess. The Scout band is an exceptionally good military band, such as we have heard before. The Constabulary band is in a class by itself. It is not to be compared with any of the other exposition bands. Its concerts are held daily in the large bandstand in the Philippine plaza, and those who have heard one concert will gladly forsake the most interesting exhibit and walk the entire distance from the heart of the grounds to the reservation in order to hear another. The men who compose the constabulary and who have done so much to promote law and order in the islands are to be distinguished from the natives in the regular army by their uniforms. The military Filipino wears the blue of the American soldier. The Long regarded only as luxury for children or proper food for the dark-skinned natives of the tropics, the banana has advanced to a place of prominence as a great food product. The United States and other great nations having colonies in the tropics have been investigating the food value of the banana and the results obtained are so satisfactory that the nutritious banana is taking its place as a staple food among all civilized nations. To overcome all objections, the banana has been especially dried and prepared for food by making it into a fine flour out of which bread is made, and other process turns the soft mushy banana into a wholesome coffee. COULDN'T LIFT TEN POUNDS. Doan's Kidney Pills Brought Strength and Health to the Sufferer, Making Him Feel Twenty-Five Years Younger. J. B. Corton, farmer and lumberman. and lumberman, of Deppe, N. C., says: "I suffered for years with my back. It was so bad that I could not walk any distance nor even ride in easy buggy. I do not believe I could have raised ten pounds of A. B. weight from the ground, the pain was so severe. This was my condition when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. They quickly relieved me and now I am never troubled as I was. My back is strong and I can walk or ride a long distance and feel just as strong as I did twenty-five years ago. I think so much of Doan's Kidney Pills that I have given a supply of the remedy to some of my neighbors and they have also found good results.

Acting on the advice of the pastor, Rev. P. Ross Parrish, contractor L. O. Miller, of Middletown, Ind., who is building a new church for the Broadway Methodist congregation, at Logansport, has hung in his office and in conspicuous places about the site where work is in progress huge placards bearing the ten commandments. Strict adherence to these Divine injunctions is required of every laborer employed. Repeated violation of any commandment by the laborers is considered cause for discharge. The type in which the placards are printed can be read across the street. During the recent erection of the Market Street Methodist church the contractor was required to give bond that no workman employed would use tobacco, liquor or profanity during work hours. The men struck once, and others took their places. The Market street building is nearly completed. SALMON SWIFT SWIMMERS. Travel Faster Than Torpedo Boat Incident Which Testifies to Their Speediness. Salmon can swim faster than any torpedo boat can travel, as Frank Arey, of Wintersport, Me., is willing to vouch for. Arey hooked a big one the other day. It darted under the boat, caught the line against the keel, severed the fly and leader and got away. This was at 11:30 a.m. M. Arey went to Bangor at 11:40. He came home on the afternoon train. I've got your fly and leader," his father said to him; "I found them in the jaw of a 26-pound salmon I took from the Weir at high tide to-day. It was just 12:10 when I got him." Comparing watches, it was disclosed that the fish had traveled 13 miles inside of half an hour. Making allowances for every condition, it was proved that the fish had covered the distance at the rate of about 28 miles an hour. From Massachusetts. A Massachusetts doctor says the wearing of smoked glasses prevents hay fever. He probably believes also, says the Chicago Record Herald, that people can be free from rheumatism if they will carry potatoes in their pock- ata. Has Changed His Mind. A baseball umpire at Williamsport. Pa., announced, at the close of the game, that he could lick the whole crowd in the grandstand. He has since told the attending physicians that he is convinced that he spoke too hastily. LEARNING THINGS We Are All in the Apprentice Class. When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill., says: "After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such a condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve medicines I tried because I didn't know that the coffee was daily putting me back more than the Drs. could put me ahead. "Finally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum and against my convictions I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. "My troubles all came from the use of coffee which I drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum but there is nothing marvelous about it—only common sense. Coffee is a destroyer —Postum is a rebuilder. That's the reason. Look in each pkg, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Filipinos at St. Louis World's Fair Wonderful Music Rendered Daily by Islanders on Plaza of Philippine Building. HERE are some people who still assert that the United States obtained nothing, through the annexation of the Philippines, but a lot of naked savages. in spite of T BANANA A PROMINENT FOOD Long Regarded as a Luxury by Natives of Tropics—Bread and Coffee Facts. The St. Louis Exposition is being used by the manufacturers of banana bread and banana coffee to introduce this new food to the world. Now this nutritious bread and coffee are served daily to visitors in the Palace of Agriculture, as one of the many object lessons in food at the World's Fair. Many Varieties of Potatoes. Three hundred and fifty varieties of Irish potatoes, big and little, are exhibited in the New York section of the Palace of Agriculture at the World's Fair. The specimens are the result of cross breeding of standard types. Features in Food and Drink. The World's Fair is full of new things, new features and interesting experiments in the way of food and drink. Prominent among the new beverages introduced at the Exposition are banana coffee and prune coffee. At one of the California county exhibits in the Palace of Agriculture the prune coffee is furnished by the county, to teach the public the value of this experiment as a pleasant beverage. The banana coffee is served in the same building, but at a different exhibit, the purpose being to show the wonderful food value of the banana. members of the civil police force wear the khaki. It is these little men in yellow attire who have come to the World's Fair to show Americans what we, as a nation, have really acquired as an accidental result of Admiral Dewey's spectacular victory. The members of the Constabulary band were all finished musicians before Loving. Loving, their leader, took them in hand. Each one was an artist in his own line, and all of them had seen service in the military bands of the Spanish regime. However, there was a tremendous task for the bandmaster. The men possessed execution without idea. They could read notes faultlessly, and could keep perfect time; but that is only a small part of concerted playing. Naturally quick to catch new ideas, they soon grasped the meaning of the "attack," on which the effect of a band's work so largely depends. Then they learned all the mysteries of shading, from the most delicate tone to the most powerful crescendo, and it is in this that their playing is so marvelous. In the tender, sympathetic passages of a selection the tone is subdued to the most exquisite murmur, from which it rises, without a crash and without a blare, sweeping majestically upward and onward, until the enraptured listener is engulfed in a mighty biflow of sound. Nothing could be more inspiring than the burst of melody in such a climax as that which occurs in the sextette of Lucia, and no band ever handled its climaxes better. In the most powerful tone, there is not the slightest suggestion of brassiness. It is all liquid music. This is due almost wholly to the instrumentation, which is absolutely faultless. More than half the instruments are reeds, and instead of the large number of saxaphones, the instrumentation includes four sarrusaphones and two sousaphones. Moreover, the clarinets are not used merely for accompaniment, but actually carry the second voice. The music produced is not simply that of a brass band, but is varied for effect to resemble strings, human voices and even the pipe organ. Among the players there are several excellent violinists, and the personnel of the band is sometimes rearranged into an orchestra of 40 men and also into a guitar glee club. The leader, Lieut. Loving, is a native of St. Paul, and a graduate of the New England conservatory of music. To his genius and devotion much of the success of the Constabulary band is due. Would that every American citizen might listen to one of his matchless programmes, drink in all the harmony and all the splendor of the best band in the United States, yes, and stay to the close. The close is the most impressive part of the concert. No one could listen to the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner" by that band of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded by other Filipinos, their hats over their hearts and their heads bowed, and doubt that they are loyally American. COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE South and Central America Exploit Their Great Product—Porto Rico Represented. The value of the St. Louis Exposition as an advertising institution and school of instruction is fully appreciated by the great coffee growing countries of South and Central America. These countries are showing their coffees to the thousands of World's Fair visitors and creating new demands for the better varieties produced, which now find a market at home or in England and Germany. The countries claim as great merit for their high grade coffees as is possessed by the famous Mocha and Java, and they seek to give the public an object lesson in the use of coffee. Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to all visitors at the Brazil building, free of charge, in order that they may sample a better grade of Rio. Porto Rico also has an extensive coffee exhibit, with the hope of promoting a larger trade with its new mother country. Pygmies Discard Tents for Huts The Pygmies from Africa at the World's Fair became tired of living in the tent provided for them and have built themselves small huts of saplings, covered with grass and rushes. In order to give the huts the proper dimensions, a novel system of measurement was employed. The corner poles were stuck in the ground and the architect then lay down on his stomach, stretching out both arms to see if the hut would be large enough. Organ Recitals Daily. Five regular recitals are now given each day upon the large mechanical organ in the splendid French section of the Palace of Liberal Arts at the World's Fair. The recitals begin at 10:30 and 11:30 o'clock a. m. and at 2:30, 3:30 and 5 p. m., and consist of selections from well-known operas and other classical and popular music. The space about the organ is always filled with people. In addition to being a very perfect instrument from a musical standpoint, it is elaborately decorated. WHAT THE SPEAKER SAID. Illustrative Instance of the Ever- Ready Wit of the Late "Czar" Reed. Thomas B. Reed's wit and wisdom would fill a large volume, and a larger volume could be made of things he did not say, but which have been created to him. In one volume on the other, says Youth's Companion, below a story which comes from California, and which has probably not been printed before. When Mr. Reed was in California he visited the Lock observatory on Mount Hamilton. He was a wonderful November day, full of gold flowers, and looked down at the gorgeous landscape 4,000 feet below, and turned to one of his hosts, he said: Colonel, this looks too much like a special display got up in honor of the occasion, a typical winter day in California is really like. The Californian thought at once of a day in February, so warm that after a morning bath he had lain in a hammock outdoors, smelled the roses on the trellis, and listened to the meadow-lark among the almond blooms. He began to describe it eloquently: "Thirteen years ago, on February 22, I took a bath." He paused to arrange his account of the raid and the meadow-lark. Mr. Reed broke the answer. Well, colonel," he said, in admiration, about cleanliness out here, don't you? Going East This Summer? Get the vacation habit.
