PATRIOTISM is as essential to the Negro to make him a citizen as to any other people. And, be it said that the honestly energetic and progressive negro is swayed by the loftiest of patriotic impulses. They should be, because it is as important to him to have just and equitable laws enacted as to others. Hence, it should not seem strange to some people to see the progressive negro interested in the affairs of State to such an extent that they will voluntarily attempt to do many honourable things for that party or class of men they believe to be best prepared for the just and impartial administration of the laws. In hours of impending peril, the negro's loyalty and patriotism has asserted itself bounteously and manfully for the safety of the Republic. If he asserted his patriotic sentiments in moments of danger and strife, he certainly should feel it to be incumbent upon him to do so, "In times of peace." His rights and privileges as a citizen must be guarded and he is beginning to realize that he must not leave this "guard duty" to others absolutely, but rather, that he "mount guard" himself. And the most effective method for him to pursue is to put his influence and strength with the progressive agencies of Nation, Common-wealth and the County. Patriotism asserts itself then, because that sentiment means the best for One's own country all the time. Too often has it become the case that men allow their influence and worth in the commu- nity to be bartered, as common commodities of trade. The shibboleth of these political vultures is, "I must have mi-line", or, "I got mine", which impales that their actions were not impelled, by pure motives, but by the unnatural promptings of selfish greed and avorice. A war against Suffrage corruption must be waged in this community. We must fight the battles for suffrage purity among our own people. The low-grade politicians among us must be severely handled; his influence uprooted and his diabolical methods exposed, because it is calamitous to the community. If the baneful influence of the bad negro politician only effected the negro, or, if the unprincipled white politician only hurt the whites, then the negro might suffer the results as would the whites, under similar circumstances. But not only is each class affected, but the whole "body politic" is injured by these unprincipled parasites, whether they be black or white. The politically practical thing for any community to do is to cast down such characters. Let the white men of honor and integrity unite with the black men of honor and integrity for the avowed purpose of eliminating the pernicious white demagogue, and let the black men of honor and worth unite with the white men of honor and worth to overthrow the negro demagogue. --- MIS-REPRESENTATION may succeed for a brief time but the truth will prevail. Men's actions may be misinterpreted for a time but, if they permit their actions to be prompted by mere motive, they will, finally, be properly understood and appreciated. Hence the CONSERVATOR feels that the future will afford abundant opportunity for demonstrating to this community and all others, where it circulate, the purity of motive that prompts its every action of a Journalistic trend. ```markdown ``` HONORABLE Nelson Crews' address, last Saturday evening, was purely Republican, from beginning to conclusion. His portrait of the gallant charge of the negro regiments up San Juan Hill, was a Gem of Rhetorical Eloquence that lifted his audience from their seats and elicited the heartiest applause. THE Colored Matching Club continues to grow in strength. Men of character, influence and stadility are being constantly recruited from the "Rank and File" of our citizenry.

Mrs. James Ferrell was a visitor to Kansas City, during Carnival week and she will see her many friends there before her return next Saturday. Hon. Nelson Crews, who spoke at the Court House Saturday night, came in over the "Katy" on the morning train from Clinton, and was entertained by precinct committeeman, John Hare. In the after-noon, he was the hapy recipient of a pleasant drive to the different points of interest thru-out the city. Dr. J M Harris was his host, during the drive. Prof Shelton French principal of Lincoln school introduced the Hon Nelson Crews to the large audience that greeted him Sat, night at the court house. The Marching Club about eighty strong turned out enmase with torches and drum corpse and banner and filed into the court house to hear Mr Crews herald the prognostication of republican success this fall.

After partaking of an elegant repast they went to the church and delivered republican speeches to a good number of citizens. Many took the occasion to state that they would support the republican ticket but thought it inexpedient to organize a club.

In pursuance to the announcement of the State Committee, the Hon. Nelson Crews, of Kansas City, Mo., greeted the citizens of this community, at the Court House. He was escorted thru the streets by the Queen City Band and the Colored Marching Club, 80 strong. Precinct committeeman, John Hare, called the assemblance to order and requested Prof. Shelton French to act as chairman for the evening. He in a well selected address accepted the honor and presented the orator for the occasion. Mr. Crews seemed to be at his best. The Potency of Republicanism was effectively preached. We are pleased to note that Mr. Crews is a product of Jackson County republicanism and all classes of citizens are proud of him. Any doubt of the loyalty of the Colored Marching Club was effaced by the splendid demonstration made by them on this occasion. Not only the Sedalia, or parent club, was represented in the parade, but others from the branch clubs were in attendance. Sedalia Steam Laundry Geo. W.

This is what the farmer hears When he goes forth at the dawn: Notes of praise that night is gone; Sweetest melody that cheers— Voice ofark, The limet's lay, Bluebird's welcome To the day, Swallow's twitter, Robin's trill— Music rare The heart to thrill. This is what the farmer sees When he sets forth to his toll— Laying tribute on the soil— These are things his senses please: Rosy beams Athwart the sky That with fields Of bright bloom vie, Diamond dewdrops, Verdant hills, Grassy meadows, Sparkling rills. This is what the farmer feels When he stretches forth his hand To wrest riches from his land, Wealth that nature, coy, conceals; Balmy breath From spicy grove, Kiss of sunshine From above; Velvet turf Beneath his feet, All about A fragrance sweet. This is what the farmer knows: Nature in her sweetest guise, Beauty of the earth and skies, Borest tallow and clim repose. Secrets knows he Of the soil; Knows the sweets That come of toil; Knows the nod Of rip'ning grain; Knows the harvest And its gain. —Arthur J. Bardick, in Orange Judd Farmer. HER CHRISTIAN NAME $n_y$ BEVERLY SMITH HER CHRISTIAN NAME $n_y$ BEVERLY SMITH SILENCE was—to quote from Jimmie Spencer—Henry Walcot's "long sutt." There was a great bond of friendship between the two; perhaps they followed in this the law that opposites attract each other. For Jimmie Spencer was the reverse of Henry Walcot in almost every particular. Where Henry was tail and dark, Jimmie was rather the medium height, and so inclined to rotundity of figure that his face, beaming always with good humor, inevitably suggested to an observer the qualifying adjective "chubby." "Why do I like Henry so well?" said Jimmie one day in reply to a question. "Because he is such a jolly fellow and knows how to keep his mouth shut. Say, do you know," growing suddenly enthusiastic, "Henry can speak English, German and Spanish, but, by Jove! he knows how to keep quiet in about 14 other languages, not counting dialects and slang." "Why do I like Jimmie?" said Henry, musingly. "Because he is a jolly good fellow and knows how to talk, I suppose." So they sat now in front of a cheerful fire in Walcot's room, smoking and talking. Jimmie was chatting away as usual, but there was something a bit distraught in his manner, which did not escape the keen eye of his friend. By and by, even Jimmie's fund of small talk seeming exhausted, and each sat smoking and musing. It was Henry who broke the silence. "Sit up, Jimmie, and talk out like a man," said he, with a laugh. "You know you never tramped all the way up here in the snow and then climbed three flights of stairs just to have a chat. Out with it, man! What have you got on your mind?" Jimmie looked up querely, and, catching the friendly gleam in the other's eye, he laughed himself and replied: "No dodging you, you sly do! I believe you are a mind reader, anyhow." "Perhaps I do a bit in that line now and then," answered Henry, with an assumption of great mystery, "and to prove it to you, I will tell you that you came up here for no other purpose than to tell me that you have gone and got yourself engaged." "Now, how in thunder did you know that?" asked Jimmie, sitting up in astonishment. "You look guilty," answered Henry, with one of his peculiar, almost inaudible chuckles. "But I never told you that I was even paying attention to the girl whom I am to have the honor of marrying." declared Jimmie, protestingly. "You could not have had any idea of it." "Now, Jimmie, my boy, do give me credit for using my powers of observation occasionally," protested Henry. "So!" said Jimmie, "then maybe you have used them far enough to tell me the name of the girl." "I undoubtedly can," averred Henry, solemnly. "Stunted as my powers of observation may be, they have been sufficiently powerful to enable me to declare that the young lady in question is none other than Miss Preston." This prescience was too much for Jimmie, who simply stared open-mouthed at his chuckling tormentor. "That's the worst of you close-mouthed people," said he, presently, with an air of deep disgust. "You sit around and don't say a word, and all the while you are keeping close tab on everything and everybody. Then when a fellow comes around to tell you a piece of important news you take the wind all out of his sails with your air of world-wide knowledge and consciousness of his most 'intimate thoughts.' I must say that I think you might have pretended ignorance. Now, I'll just keep quiet about the matter." And Jimmie resolutely shut his mouth and turned again to his cigar. ```markdown ``` "Now, Jimmie," said Walcot, witn dignity, "don't be any more of a chump than usual. You know you are so full of the subject that you have just got to talk. So fire away." And Jimmie did fire away presently, the subject having got the better of his resolve. "But, Henry, all natural prejudice aside, I just can't believe my good luck. To think that she should accept me, when she might have had any man—why, she might have married you, old chap, couldn't she?" "Did she tell you so?" Do you tell you so? "Nope," said Jimmie, cheerfully, "but I can't see how it is that you haven't fallen in love with her." "Maybe I was in love with another woman," said Walcot, slowly. There was something in his tone that made Jimmie look up quickly. Walcot was gazing into the cheerful fire and there was such a smile upon his face as Jimmie had never seen. The mercurial youngater was on his feet in an instant and rushed over to Walcot. "By Jove, old chap, so you have been indulging in a love affair and didn't even take me, your best friend, into your confidence! I call that shameful of you, but I am deuced glad to know that you are in love, after all. Take my word for it, old chap, there's nothing like it in all the world." "Easy, boy, easy," said Walcot, with a quiet smile that may have concealed some embarrassment. "I haven't confessed to any love affair yet. And as for confidence, remember that you told me nothing of yours until you were actually engaged. Even good friends like you and me don't talk over such affairs. However, I may have—I hope to have—some good news to tell you soon." "How soon?" "Who can say?" "Have you proposed to her?" "No, but I intend to do so." "Good boy! Go in and win. If you want a certificate of good character, call me. I am always ready to tell a lie in the sacred cause of friendship." And Jimmie's infectious laugh took all sting away from the remark. Once more fell a period of silence, and Jimmie broke it with: "Did you ever notice the color of her eyes, Henry?" "Yes," answered Henry, with an air of amusement, "They are blue, aren't they?" "No, indeed," said Jimmie, somewhat indignantly. "They are a wonderful deep gray, almost black." "Is that so?" was the somewhat indifferent reply. "Then she has the same color of eyes as her cousin. I know that she has wonderful deep gray eyes—wonderful eyes." This last was very soft. "Not at all, stupid," said Jimmie, vexed at so much stupidity. "Her cousin's eyes are blue. I'll be blessed if you ever observe anything." Jimmie himself was not observing anything, but was sitting with his gaze fixed on the hearth of the flames and his mind lost in a happy reverie. He did not see his companion look up with a THE BOYS ARE CONVERGING. HE DID NOT SEE THE LOOK OF TERROR IN HIS COMPANION'S EYES. quick terror in his eyes and a face drawn with emotion. Nor did he hear a question addressed to him. Indeed, Walcot's voice was very thick, and he hardly knew himself whether he had spoken the question aloud or merely in his anguish voiced it to himself. "Then you are engaged to Kate Preston?" he finally managed to say, loud enough to make his companion hear. "Certainly," said Jimmie, in astonishment. "Whom did you think I was engaged to—certainly not to Annie Preston?" "I didn't know," said Walcot, weakly. "So you mind reading wasn't so good, after all!" exclaimed Jimmie, in triumph. "Well, I must be going—so long!" And he was gone. For a long time Walcot sat before the fire, though his cigar went out unnoticed and was not relit. Then he slowly walked to his desk and took out a letter, addressed in his own firm handwriting. Opening it, he stood in front of the fire and read it through twice. It was a proposal of marriage, simple, straightforward and winning in its declaration of great love. The letter fluttered first to the fire and the envelope followed it. Walcot standing quietly to watch them burn. One might have read the address on the envelope, even after it was caught by the flames, and that address was: "Miss Kate Preston."—San Francisco Call.

Buttons Will Be the Conspicuous Feature of All Autumn and Winter Garments. Fashion makers are working under the impression that we will have a long and pleasant autumn season, and with this end in view are turning out some charming between-season garments. The Eton coat and skirt here illustrated are of light brown linen trimmed with bands of tucking and a little embroidery around the neck and buttons. With this suit goes a white straw toque with solid brim of pale green cut leaves. The second gown is a dainty frock of pale blue volle trimmed with bands, cuffs and lapels of sapphire blue silk. The white straw hat is trimmed with shaded blue plumage. The New York Times gives some reliable hints concerning toilet accessories for the coming season. Buttons it says. TWO GOWNS FOR AUTUMN will be conspicuous the coming fall and winter as ornamental accessories to handsome toilets. Properly used on waistcoats, cuffs and girdles, they are artistic and beautiful, and there is the additional attraction to the woman who wishes exclusive styles, that while the masses may also use buttons their purses are unable to compass the really handsome fancy buttons that partake of the nature of cabochons and, consequently there is no danger of their trespassing on the exclusives' territory. Buttons for the Directoire coats are a necessity, and some very beautiful jeweled ones, as well as those in nouveau art designs artistically worked in colored metals, will be used. Rhinestones, many in flat designs, will lead these jeweled buttons. Some of the new metal buttons are so made as to closely resemble delicate embroideries on silken grounds. New yet decidedly old-fashioned buttons like those our mothers used to wear are covered with colored silks, tufted with velvets of contrasting shades. Indeed, several of the novelties in buttons are reminiscent of the preceding generation. Coral and turquoise cabochons set in rims of silver, gold or steel are shown, but these are not new. As Pavulin is using Dresden buttons in the new yellowish-tinted reds and purplish blues with patterns outlined in gold, these buttons are among the latest importations. Other colors as well as those mentioned are also in evidence. A new thing in pearl buttons is the introduction of colored centers. Crochet and braid buttons to combine with braid trimlins are quite the thing. Another of the new buttons is a tuffed-back black ivory for use on tailored and mourning wearing apparel. The tufted back permits the button to be easily sewed on and retained by the garments it is destined for use upon. In the better braids for trimming purposes the Japanese patterns and ideas are seen, and the diamond-patterned silk braids are much in evidence. A novelty in passementeries is the use of suede in various shades as a background for the embroideries and appliques of silk and beads. Suede is also being used for vests with collars and cuffs to match, but there is no prospect of its being generally fashionable. A dark-blue broadcloth coat and skirt had its coat showing a pale yellow suede vest embroidered in tarnished gold effects and having buttons to match the embroidery. The cuffs and flat collar showed strips of the embroidered suede set in the dark blue velvet forming the foundation of these accessories. How Beauty Is Preserved. A writer in the Chicago News says that late hours and the excessive use of the eyes in poor light or on trains and cars, worry and ill health are the prolific source of wrinkles. The woman who is asleep before midnight, who wears glasses if she needs them to read with, who does not use her eyes by a poor light and who follows these common-sense directions can, if she is still young and wrinkless, preserve her complexion for many years, and she who is already showing imperfections can prevent their becoming more marked—in many instances removing them—by properly cleansing and nourishing her skin. And that at a very small cost, as these directions are especially for those possessing small incomes. Quality. "Why shouldn't they be in society?" "Well, I don't know. They—" "Certainly their money is as good as anybody's, and their manners as bad." —Puck. HINTS ON COOKING FRUIT. Do Not Destroy the Flavor of a Pleasing and Healthful Dish by the Use of Soda. A paragraph which has been going the rounds rather extensively, informs the housewife that a little soda (saleratus) added to stewed fruit when it is being cooked lessens the quantity of sugar required to sweeten it. While this is true, it is equally the fact that the soda accomplishes this result by destroying the acidity of the fruit, and in the process the life and flavor are, to an extent, injured. A preserve to which soda has been added is rather flat and tasteless when compared with one which is made entirely of fruit, sweetened with sugar. The wise and truly economical housewife will not destroy the flavor of a healthful and pleasing dish of stewed fruit in order to effect a saving so very small. Fruit that is overly acid, such as cranberries, red currants, gooseberries, etc., will call for less sugar in sweetening if they are prepared in the following manner: After washing the fruit, place it in an agate kettle and cover with clear, cold water. Set the kettle over the fire and bring the contents quickly to the boiling point; pour off the water, and then set the kettle where the fruit will cook slowly in the usual way, adding only enough water to keep the fruit from burning. Add sugar sufficient to make the preserve palatable, and do not add the sugar until just before the fruit is removed from the fire, since less is required than when the sweetening is cooked with the fruit. The juice or water that was poured off the fruit, at first, can be made very cold, sweetened with sugar and served as a drink; it may also be used in place of water or milk for the foundation of a pudding sauce, a little sugar being added and the whole thickened with corn starch or arrowroot. Apples or pears may be sliced and cooked in this fruit juice instead of using water in the usual way, and it can also be used in mincemeat, in fruit cakes or boiled puddings. Fruit should never be placed on the front of the range and stewed like a vegetable. Its appearance is much more attractive if it is kept as entire as possible. Apples and pears should be cut into quarters or eighths, and laid in the saucepan carefully, a very little water or fruit juice added and the cover kept on the saucepan all the time they are being cooked.—What to Eat.

Longing for lovely hands is natural. It is a recognized fact that French-women possess the most beautiful hands. The hand itself is neither too fat nor too thin, but exactly in proportion with the long, slender, tapering fingers, while the nails are of a beautiful delicate pink, their charm enhanced by the pretty half-moons at the base of each. With the view of learning the secret of some of the beautiful hands in Paris, I once called upon the best-known manicure of the French capital and asked her to tell me her method of dealing with hands which had grown thick or fat, with the fingers short and square, says a writer in the Philadelphia North American. "In the first place," she said, "I get a basin of skin food or soft sweet oil and fill it until the hands are almost covered. This makes the fingers soft and oily, and after a time I lift them out and give them a thorough washing with very hot water and very good soap. "The hands are then dried and a little skin food rubbed in. "If you want pink pails, a little rouge is put upon the nail, and if you want them very bright, the polisher is used. But if you prefer them dull, then leave them just as they are." CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bears In The Use Signature For Of Cha H. Hitchens. Over Thirty Years The Kind You Have Always Bought THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF CANADA FOR WILEAT. A Crop of 60,000,000 Bushels of Wheat Will Be the Record of 1904. The results of the threshing in Western Canada are not yet completed, but from information at hand, it is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high, and a fair estimate will place the total yield of wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At present prices this will add to the wealth of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then think of the immense yield of oats and barley and the large herds of cattle for all of which good prices will be paid. The following official telegram was sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior, to Lord Strathcona, High Commissioner for Canada:— "Am now able to state definitely that under conditions of unusual difficulty in Northwest a fair average crop of wheat of good quality has been reaped and is now secure from substantial damage. The reports of injury by frost and rust were grossly exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Territories will aggregate from fifty-five to sixty million bushels. The quality is good, and the price is ranging around one dollar per bushel." Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday Evening Post, says:— "When our first transcontinental railroad was built, learned men attempted by isothermal demonstration to prove that wheat could not profitably be grown north of where the line was projected; but the real granary of the world lies up to 300 miles north of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and the day is not definitely distant when the United States will knock at the doors of Canada for its bread. Railroad men see such a day; it may be hoped that statesmen also will see it, and arrange their reciprocities while they may do so gracefully. Americans already have swarmed into that far country and to a degree have taken the American wheat field with them. Despite the fact that for years a little Dakota station on the St. Paul road —Eureka—held the distinction of being the largest primary grain market in the world, the Dakotas and Minnesota will one day yield their palm to Saskatchewan. Just Wanted to Arrive. After Eugene Field's return from his first trip to Europe, where he "spent his patriymony like a prince," and before he went to Denver, he had a little close personal experience with the city, walking into a leading St. Louis hotel, and, squaring himself before the register, inscribed his name in his well-known copperplate chirology. The clerk had never heard of him, but he read the name with a room. Mr. Field? "No," was the answer. "Dinner?" "No." "Then may I ask what you do what?" continued the clerk.
