Sedalia Weekly Conservator

Sedalia Weekly Conservator. Published every Friday morning and entered at Sedalia Post Office as see old class matter A man with a "big stick" al- way gets a big vote. ```markdown ``` SAVE the big shouts for January, when will celebrate the emancipation of Missouri. ```markdown ``` How do you feel, since Missouri has gone republican? Like a sinner reclaimed by grace, exceedingly happy and shoutful. THE "Solid North" has met the "Solid South", the result is it will ever be, that justice and manhood equality before the law and under the constitution, is sustained by the popular will. Upon whom does democracy base the cause of her defeat? As usual, upon the negro and the common people. A Pettis county paper, the "Sentinel" says, "The colored vote was cast almost to a man, on party lines. This state of affair exists always with this vote, unless the democrats make it worth their while to wander away from their old land marks. They (the negro) are always republicans, when it is impossible for them to make a commodity of their franchise." And the same periodical state further that, "they (the negro) voted their tickets straight almost to the man." More-over, it laments that such a condition of affairs exist, and fears that "decent government will be subverted." This would be true, if the negro and the comm people of th country were following unprincipled, nonpatriotic leade ship. But this they are not doing; their leaders are American citizens of the truest type, and, be it further asserted that Republican patriots and men of character are as numerous in this county, state or country as democrats. We, the negro, follow them, because it has been proved, in many ways, that the Republicans are more truly interested in our welfare. So long as the leaders of the Republican party sustain us in our contention for our manhood rights and constitutional privileges, so long will we, to a man, give our all to them. Instead of closing the avenues of hope and manly ambition in our faces, the Republican party, thru its fearless leader, Theodore Roosevelt, has declared that the "Door of Hope" shall ever stand ajar for us, so long as we deport ourselves as men of character, intelligence and general worth. For this, of course we are grateful; more than this, we shall never ask; less than this our glorious Republic could not afford to give to its humblest citizen. Let any party or class of men assail the common people and they will immediately behold, where the saving strength of the nation lies. Local and Personal. Rev. Young, formerly a Baptist minister and doctor of Ash Grove, Mo., but now of Springfield, Ill., spent several days in our city recently. Mrs. Julia Nelson went to Kroob Noster, Monday afternoon to attend the funeral of a friend, Mrs Sarah Carroi. Rev Wm. Alexander of Quinn Chapel, A M E church is one of the communities best preachers, and ever has an eye single to the up-building of the race. As a concientious worker, he stands second to none in Sedalia. Thomas Umbles, familiarly known as the "Junk Man," has changed professions for awhile, and has donned the waiters garb as clerk at Warfield's restaurant.

Admissto 25 cents. Mrs L Teeters was elected as superintendent of the Sunday School of the A M E church, Sunday. All who know of Mrs Teeters, knows that she never does things by halves. Literary and spiritual entertainment are in store for them who attend her Sunday School. All the churches of the city are making elaborate preparations for Thanksgiving entertainments the A M E church has a dinner, the C M E and Baptist church have a banquet at Liberty Park, and the other churches are making efforts for some sort of a festival. There are a number of boys and girls to be seen loitering, who should be in school. But "how to get them there" is the question. This thing of letting children grow up void of culture, refinement and knowledge, is detrimental to the stability of society. If you have indigestion or any dull, old ache, I think you'll find that Jolly,—Is the best thing you can take. He will be at Geo R. Smith College Friday night. Admission 25 cents- We paused long enough a d near enough to a body of men talking, to find out that they were Masons, and were di cussing the building of a hall of their own. Now, boys, thats what we want—first, get you to talking of it, and next, get you to putting up the dollars. It would take volumes to tell of our local needs. But if this chances to meet the eye of some man who could finance first-class grocery, or a comfortable lodging house etc. etc., we recommend to him our community to be the best location in Central Missouri. Come or write. Miss Sarah Chisholm, a traveling Bible agent, was a very interesting visitor to Quinn Chapel Sunday night. She made a very fitting address at the conclusion of the preaching services, emphasizing the necessity of the cultivation of Bible reading anion our youth. Miss Chisholm makes an annual tour of twelve states. The young lady is very pre-possessing. She was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Alexander. If you have any troubles, take them with you to Geo. R.

S UDENTS MAKE GOOD Athletics, as indulged at any school or college, is as much a recommendation for that institution as its literary work. If good athletics are encouraged and supported by any corpse of teachers in any school, the material, going out from such a school is always in demand, and play as equal an important part in placing that school before the public, are highly competent to give her students intellectual and physical and, if a Christian institution, high christian culture. Two young men, the product of Geo. R. Smith College's Academic Department and defenders of her colors on the gridiron, John T Williams and Earl A. Harris, have done as much to put their Alma Mater before the great schools of the South, already, as any other of her students have. These young men recently entered McHarry Medical College, and as soon as it became known to the color defenders of that school Improved and strengthened by the addition of many new features: Enlarged farm department-forestry and flori culture-care of the horse-Boys' and Girls' page-International Sunday School Lesson-Home Health Club-Mine Michaud's health and beauty hint-new household ideas practical cookery-latest styles for all ages-best fiction-full crop and market reports.

A new democratic presidential nomination possibility has been suggested. This is Leider Rayner, who has just been elected a senator from Maryland to succeed Louis E. McComas, republican, who retires in March, 1905. The Baltimore Herald tells us that a Rayner and Hearst club has been formed in Baltimore, and that steps are about to be taken to start clubs of this sort all over the country Hearst, when his name is coupled with Rayner's, is intended for the second place on the ticket. The Rayner nomination movement is a new slap in Gorman's face, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Gorman was opposed to Rayner for the senate, and worked to the end in antagonism to him. The conservative element of the Maryland democracy, however, stood behind Rayner, and he ultimately won. His victory naturally was interpreted all over the country as a defeat for Gorman. His added prominence since his election, as shown by the boom which has just been started for him for the presidential candidacy, is another blow to the Maryland boss. If Hearst be favorable to the coupling of the two names, with Hearst in the second place, there is a chance that Rayner will get a good deal of advertising in the next few months, as Hearst has a literary bureau which is in fine working order. But how will the old-line democrat like this association of the names Rayner and Hearst? Rayner is theoretically supposed to stand for pretty nearly everything in politics that Hearst antagonizes. He was a gold man in the days when the gold issue came up in a burning shape. It was said in 1886 that Rayner voted for McKinley. He was strongly against Bryan, and the Bryan element of the party turned him down in politics. Hearst at that time and in 1900 supported Bryan with all the resources at his command. His paper was the only journal of any consequence in any big northern city which was on Bryan's side. Recently the man who is running his literary bureau said that Hearst was always secretly against free silver coinage. He was a gold man, his views on that point were kept so secret in those years that nobody ever heard anything of them or could guess them. It is certain that the gold ingredient of the democracy is against Hearst now. Possibly he may be tolerated for the second place on the ticket with an old-line democrat like Rayner. THE REPUBLICAN DUTY. Victory of the Party This Year In Vital to the Interests of the Country. It is the duty of republicans in this year 1904 to have unity in purpose and harmony in action. This is a duty because essential to success, and the achievement of success is an obligation resting upon the republican party, says the Troy Times. Republican success is necessary because it means American prosperity. Republicanism has protected and built up the industries of the country, has shut out a debased currency, which would have been false on its face and on an outcast in the 'world's' markets; has through the warfare of diplomacy and the diplomacy of warfare held for this country's producers the strategic points of the world's commerce, and has raised the Stars and Stripes over outposts that mark the skirmish line in the contest for trade. A policy is safest in the hands of its friends. To the fostering care of the republican party, the parent of such grand projects as supremacy in the markets of the world, channeling the fathom between North and South America, reestablishing a merchantile marine on the high seas and reclaiming the arid plains of the interior, can best be given the perfecting of those great intentions. Because of the past and the future, therefore, the victory of the republican party in the national elections of 1904 is vital to the progress of this country. ‘SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR. SEDADTA, -- - - a yas. isisalh Cupid and the Cowboy By VARA A. ARMSTRONG SAL TELLO, Crosby! 1 suppose you're in town for the cowboy festiv- Vtles? What's it all about, anyway?” “Well, you see, Mr. Vinton, some of tho hoys got hurt every yenr, It's pretty hard on the fellows who haven't any Ariends, especially if they don't happen ‘to have much coming; so we thought if swe'd give an exhibition of horvemansbip to-morrow and get a Pwd together, then in the evening we'd have a big blow- oul at Thomson's hell and use the pro- “ceeds to establish a cowboy bed at the Anospital.”” “Good idea. By-the-way, Crosby, my wife hus beon cast after her spring stock ‘of millinery and she brought home a niece to spend the summer, She's a pretty girl with a yellow head full of vomantic notions. She has been reading some cowboy Iiterature and thinks, now ‘that che is in the west, she will have wome hair-raising experiences, and I wouldn't have ber disappointed for all the outlaw horses that you fellows will vide to-morrow. “Can't you fix up some scheme, Cros- by? She will be down at the store in the morning, trying to get a glimpse of the ow boys, through the windows.” “Now, Mildred, if you'll help me un- pack this box of flowers and put them in tho show case before dinner, we will be all ready to go out and see the broncbo elding, this afternoon.” “In just a mintue, Aunt Vinton, Two amen with broad-brimmed hats on are etting off thelr horses out here. ‘They are just dropping the reins instead of tying the horses, Aad they have on such funny pants, with long shaggy hair on the fronts; one pair is black and the FAO gn” er cl x rE b _ Ore + ai aye ~ Ee | eri" A ee: | a Bi AVON // j\ ) ee Ay other a dingy pink.

She turned with au instinetive idea of Hiding under the counter, but the crowd ‘of broad hats and hairy chapperells were within a few feet of her, the leader cov- ering her with a two-foot revolver, For 20 seconds the only round in the coom Wax the jangle of oncoming spurs. ‘The seader’s deep voice broke the si- feuce. “In the store we just left, three anen lic weltering in their blood; there are still bwo loads in this gun and plenty more here,” (touching his cartridwe belt), “but if you'll be civil and give us all the ribbon we want, we'll agree not to harm: you.” “Ribbon?” qnavered Mildred; “here ie the counter; help yourselves.” LETTER TOURS THE WORLD Seaman on Cruiser Receives Missive Three Yoais After Date of Mailing. While vieiting retatives in Paterson, N, J., recently Mester-at-Arms Charles ¥. Nowton of the erulser Des Moines recoived a letter which the government hay been trying to deliver to him for the Inet three years, ‘The letter was mailed in New York by relatives of Mr. Newton, and was addressed to the Brokolyn navy yard, where the Des Moines was aviuiting orders, Before the Jottor could bo delivered the Des Moines was ordered to Norfolk, Va,, and it was forwarded there, 1n the meantime New= ton's ship had gone to Cuba, but the letter did not reach the new republic's shores until (he Des Moines had gone to the Philippines, so it was started to she other side of the world, It rested at the Philippines long enough to be forwarted to China, where the Des Moines had been sent on a cruise, but when the letter reached China Newton and, hie ship had gone away and the let ter way again started ofthis time for rngland. ‘The Des Moines did not stop on Eng- lish shores and the postal officials of hat cuuuiry returned the letter to the “This will do.” sald a little fellow im spotted calfskin chapps, taking @ epoot of red and green baby ribbon. “Now, cover our retreat, Boss,” and walking backward, still covering the trembling girl with his gun, the Bix fellow followed his companions out of the store. From behind boxes and counters peered the heads of Mrs. Vinton and the sales girls, while the head trimmer dashed toa window, exclaiming: “There they go,” as the thunder of the horses’ hoofs shook the buliding. “My, but you are a brave girl, Mil- dred,” erled one. “You saved our lives, sure,” sald an« other, “Your presence of mind is wonderful,” approved Mrs, Vinton. Well, 1 guess [ can write an {nter= esting letter home,” sald Mildred, witha nervous laugh. “What do you think of cowboys now?” Mrs. Vinton questioned, as she came “upon Mildred, near the edge of the crowd. A number of wild steers had been roped and thrown, the well-trained horse holding the steer steadily, while the rider, springing lightly to the ground, sped to the fallen steer aud lied his legs, rendering him helpless. Before she could reply, a wild shout and scramble sent the crowd surging backward, Mildred started with the others, but stopped cn her dress and fell to the ground, When she ragained her fect, the big steer, who had jumped up and jerked the horse sidewise, was between her and the crowd, while the horse had regained his balance and turning his tall to tho steer was again holding him. With an angry bellow the steer started ina circle, Mildred saw the taut rope flying toward her, borne by an enraged steer, while the horse formed the etationary ‘point of this ving compass. To fly was {impossible and Mildred, with adespairing cry, put her hands over her eyes. A sudden rush of flying pony feet, a swirl of air aud Mildred was lifted bodily by the rider of the fleeing horse and before she could catch her breath was borne to eafety, “That was a close call for you, Ittle girl,” the rider said, as he set her on the ground and galloped off. “Oh, auntie,” Mildred cried, when that Indy came sure ine up, "the man who saved my life Just now ts the same one who pointed the pistol at me in the store this morning, He ts awfully strong and I don't belleve he ts a bad man after all.” ‘Tho hall was lighted by many lanterns and decorated with brilliant Navajo Blankets, coils of rope and horse hair bridles. Saddles hung by one stirrup and chapps and cartridge belts were sus pended from the saddle horns, A tarpaulin covered the musicians* stand and every cowboy wore a leather badge fastened by a bunch of red and ereen baby ribbons! From the first Mildred was the center of attraction Every cowboy claimed an introduce tion and danced with her. But one, her rescuer of the afternoon, came again and again, asking her assist- ance in waltz, two-step and quadrilie, and when her foet began to weary, he led her to @ secluded corner, spread a gay blanket for her to sit upon and sank down at her feet, “How pretty the hall looks,” she said, “it's eo different from anything I ever saw before,” No response, The musicians struck up “Home, Sweet Home." “That almost makes me homesick," sighed Mildred, “Say, Litke your nerve," he broke out. “I hope you're not mad at me—at us fellers, for the trick we played on you this morning, Why, that old gun hasn't heen loaded for ten years, but you did not know that.” “Don't mention it," exclaimed Mile dred, “If 1 was in no danger then, I cers falnly was this afternoon and you saved my life.

It in astonishing how little time It takes to unload in this way, If the crates are emptied, roll them ack on the wagon with a pike pole. We do not empty them, however, but stack them up.” WINTERING CANE FRUITS, Protection Which Should Be Given Them During tho Severe Cold Weather, If the farmer has hardy varieties of raspberrics and blackberries or lives where the winters aro mild, bis work ls simple, If he has not already done it, go through the patch, cutting out all dead wood and weak canes, “stub back" the over-thrifty ones, burn the brush, and his patch is ready for the win- ver. However, if he lives in northern latl- tudes or has tender varieties, his bushes must have & protective covering of some sort, Says Mark Haverhill, in Orango Judd Farmer. Just before the ground freezes, the old wood having been ext out, x0 through the patch with a potato or other heavy tined fork, and loosen the ground around the rootk of each fll, carefully bend the bushes over tiil they lie on the ground, weigh down and cover with earth, Care should he taken not to break any of the canes in laying them down. Some people bend the bushes over, cover the ends with dirt to hold them and then cover all with straw or corn- stalks from which all grain has been removed. The great objection to stray is that the mice nest In the straw and during the winter cat tie green bark from the canes, killing them. Not #0 much trouble has beon exrerienced with cornstaiks, but probably earth is the best for it fs always handy As soon as spring comes and the frost 1s out of the grotnd the covering should be removed and the bushes straightened up.

Later the blood seemed to have all left my body. Had shortness of breath and fluttering of the heart; was depressed, morose and pceivish. I suffered for two years. Physicians did me little good but I am now a well woman because I took twelve boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills."

From a W. C. T. U. standpoint, Kansas City is puritanical compared with St. Louis. That was the sentiment expressed by Mrs. H. J. Bone, who was a delegate from the central union to the recent state convention at St. Louis, in her convention report submitted to the Kansas City union. She compared especially the conditions prevalent in the two cities regarding the sale of liquor to children to the decided discredit of St. Louis. She was especially opposed to the grocery store trade in that city, declaring that children are sent to the grocery for beer just the same as they would be for sugar and potatoes. To Call Preachers "Mr." The Kansas City Association of Congregational Churches adjourned its fall meeting at Green Ridge after having selected Eldon, Miller county, as the place of meeting in October, 1905. These officers were elected for the ensuing year: Mr. Halsey, a layman of Westminster church, Kansas City, moderator; Rev. Arthur Frasler, pastor of Ivanhoe Park church, Kansas City, scribe; Rev. B. F. Martin, of the First church, Sedalia, registrar. A resolution was unanimously adopted that in future all members of the association shall be referred to as "Mr." instead of, "Rev." Taken Off the Car. C. W. Fabrian and Edward Chamberlain, promoters, formerly with offices in the New York Life building at Kansas City, were arrested by Sheriff A. P. Wymer, at Liberty, and taken off a train bound for Chicago. The men were arrested on a warrant sworn out by a justice of the peace in Clay county, charging Chamberlain with "jumping" a $55 tailor bill, and Fabrian with misrepresenting Chamberlain's credit. Imense Jaw Bone An immense jaw bone, evidently that of some prehistoric animal, was discovered on the farm of Joseph Sams, in Warren township, west of Hannibal, by several workmen who were digging in a clay bank. The bone weighs 75 pounds and measures $3\frac{1}{2}$ feet in length. A tooth lifted from it was 9 inches long, 8 inches wide and weighed 7 pounds. German Farmer a Suicide. Florence Dieckmann, of Levasy, in Jackson county, killed himself at his home. Mr. Dieckmann had been in bad health for some time and despondent. Dieckmann was one of the well known farmers of the Levasy district and was about 70 years of age. He was thought to be wealthy. New Bank at Gilman. L. M.

Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Edwards, of Fulton, have donated $25,000 to the William Woods college at Fulton, the amount to be applied on the erection of a new dormitory for the college. Dr. Fraker Again. Dr. George W. Fraker was defendant in a civil suit in Kansas City. Dr. Fraker, it will be remembered, is the Execelior Springs physician who mysteriously disappeared several years ago while carrying insurance policies aggregating $55,000. For several months Dr. Fraker occupied offices in the Shukert building, 1112 Grand avenue. Recently, while repairing was going on in the building he moved out his furniture and vacated his office rooms. The owner of the building then brought suit against D. Fraker for $30 rent, which, it was asserted, Dr. Fraker had not paid. In 1893 Dr. Fraker was a successful physician at Execelior Springs. On the evening of July 10 of that year he led a fishing party to the Missouri river, near Camden. That night he fell into the river and was supposed to have been drowned. Much of the insurance ($55,000) he carried on his life was paid. Two years later Fraker was discovered by detectives for insurance companies hiding in the woods near Tower, Minn. He had been living under an assumed name. He was never prosecuted for the trick he had played on the insurance companies. Practically all the money they had paid on his policies was returned. Fought for Her Life. That Miss Rosa Butts, the young woman whose body was found in the Olson pasture just outside of Marshall, made a desperate struggle for her life there can be no doubt. The ground was trampled near where the body was found and the deep impressions of a man's shoes in the soil indicated a terrible fight. The only tangible clews to the murderer were the bloody footprints of a man which led from the body through the pasture and a cigarette found by the side of the dead girl. The girl's sister, who was with her until ten o'clock Wednesday night, says that Miss Butts was last seen with two young men, one of whom she says she can recognize. Neither of the young men have been located. J. V. L. Ravis, who lives near where the body was found, reports that he heard screams, which seemed to come from the pasture between 10 and 11 o'clock Wednesday night. At first he did not pay particular notice to the outcries, but as they continued he went out of the house. By that time they had ceased and, although he waited and listened, he heard nothing further. State University Appointments. State University Appointments. The board of curators of the state university held a meeting at Columbia last week: Dr. A. H. R. Fairchilds, a doctor of philosophy, graduate of Yale, now residing at Toronto, Can., was appointed temporary instructor in English, to fill the place made vacant by Prof. H. E. Penn, who was called to a full professorship at Washington university. The other appointments were as follows: A D. D. Van Delint, instructor in mechanical engineering, was named to fill the vacancy due to the resignation of J. H. Wallace. Mr. Denny of Kerney, a graduate of the university of mechanical engineering class of 1904, was made assistant in mechanical drawing. Miss Raby Fitch, of Warrensburg, was named assistant in botany. Leslie M. Fry, class of 1900, was named assistant in engineering for the second semester. Walter Arthur was appointed student assistant in zoology. Otto Veatch, of Jasper, was named laboratory assistant in geology. Prof. F. R. Mumford and President R. H. Jesse were appointed delegates to the convention of the national association of agricultural colleges and experiment stations, at Des Moines, Ia. Capitalized at $7,037,350. The capital stock represented by the 113 domestic business enterprises to which were issued certificates of incorporation by the secretary of state during October is $6,437,850, to which must be added $599,500, the latter sum representing that portion of the capitalization of the nine foreign corporations to which were issued during the same period licenses authorizing them to do business in Missouri, set apart for that purpose, and making the total for the month $7,037,350 for the new domestic and foreign companies either incorporated or licensed. To this, however, in order that the exact total may be reached, must be added the increases made in the original capitalization of companies which had been previously incorporated. In Favor of First Wife. On September 15 August Dehmer, of Kansas City, was granted a divorce from his wife. Mrs. Addie Dehmer. Three days later he married Mrs. Minnie Stewart. Last week at Independence Judge Evans set aside the decree of divorce in response to a petition filed by Mrs. Dehmer, the divorced wife. Strike Coal at Chilhowee. The striking of a three-foot vein of coal at a depth of 180 feet near Chilhowee was celebrated by firing guns, blowing steam whistles and band concerts. Strangers Assault Frisco Clerk. E.

DRS. THORNTON & MINOR. 2010 Olive Street, St. Louis, Mo. and 1010 Oak St, Kauai City, Fla. ASKED A PERSONAL FAVOR. Lawyer Wanted Judge to Believe Him of a Somewhat Dangerous Duty. One of the most picturesque figures of the New York bar was the late Thomas Nolan, a lawyer, whose witty retorts furnished subjects for merriment at many a lawyers' gathering. Now, Nolan was at one time a construction company, but now, by building a construction company for the death of husband, relates Success. The case had been placed upon the "day calendar," but had been frequently postponed, and Mrs. Moriaity, by the time she had made her birth call, was in an exceedingly disturbed state. Nolan's rich bologne were more than usually fervid as he fought against the sixth adjournment. "I am sorry," said Justice Dugro, "but your opponent has shown me good cause for the adjournment, Mr. Nolan, and the case has been settled." Nolan's "Very well, sor," said the barrister, sweetly, "but might I ask wan personal favor of this coort?" "Certainly, sir, with pleasure." "Will your honor kindly sheep down to you, and give you the confidence that you have adjoined the case?" Best in the World. Cream, Ark., Nov. 7 (Special)—After eightteen months' suffering from Epilepsy, Backache and Kidney Complaint, Mr. W, H.

THORNTO Miriam H. Miss Rose Hennessy, well known as a poetess and elocutionist, of Lexington, Ky., tells how she was cured of uterine inflammation and ovaritis by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — I have been so blessedly helped through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that I feel it but just to acknowledge it, hoping that it may help some other woman suffering as I did. " For years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly chilled, but I did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I suffered excruciating pains and kept getting worse. My attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful cures it had performed, and I made up my mind to try it for two months and see what it would do for me. Within one month I felt much better, and at the close of the second I was entirely well. " I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was." — Miss Rose NORA HENNESSY, 410 S. Broadway, Lexington, Ky. "The experience and testimony of some of the most noted women of America go to prove beyond a question that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will correct all such trouble and at once, by removing the cause, and restoring the organs to a normal and healthy condition. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — About two years ago I consulted a physician about my health which had become so wretched that I was no longer able to be about. I had severe backache, bearing-down pains, pains across the abdomen, was very nervous and irritable, and this trouble grew worse each month. The physician prescribed for me, but I soon discovered that he was unable to help me, and I then decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and soon found that it was doing me good. My appetite was returning, the pains disappearing, and the general benefits were well marked. "You cannot realize how pleased I was, and after taking the medicine for only three months, I found that I was completely cured of my trouble, and have been well and hearty ever since, and no more fear the monthly period, as it now passes without pain to me. Yours very truly, Miss Pearl Ackers, 327 North Summer St., Nashville, Tenn." When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health more than a million women, you cannot well say without trying it "I do not believe it will help me."

Interesting Meeting: Resolutions Adopted. Lincoln Institute Notes The third annual Farmers Convention held at Lincoln Institute Friday, November 4th, was an occasion of much interest, and it is hoped that the practical results will be numerous and varied. In his annual address before the convention, Dr. B.F. Allen called attention to the importance of agriculture, the dignity of labor and the necessity for intelligent negro farmers. He deplored the fact that reliance is ever made to him as the 'nayseed'', called attention to the fact that modern improvements have taken the drudgery out on farm life and that success now depends on honest, intelligent work. He also expressed the hope that an appropriation for the 'farmers' Convection would be made by the coming Legislature, in order that it might be possible to increase the extent and usefulness of a movement that would eventually prove a great blessing to the negro population of Missouri. "Farms and Farming" was the subject of a highly instructive and practical paper, by Mrs B. B Brown, of Kansas City, the distinguished guest of the institution, and a woman who personally represents what thrift and economy will do for the negro. The paper was full of practical points and was recieved with applause. Talks were made by Professors Garnett, Moten, Damel and Murray; while various students reported upon the agricultural work don in t eir respective states or counties. Professor Damer and Mrs. B. B. Brown were added to the number of state organizers, and urged to make work a success. The program was interspersed with excellent music, and the auditorium decorated with the products of the farm and autumn presented a pleasing and unique appearance. The following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, we believe that education is to prepare us for better life and acceptable citizenship, and that we shall not be prepared therefore, if we do not teach the youth of this generation the dignity of labor and show them strength and indifference and mannages that will result from ownership, and. Whereas we are living in a state a greater part of whose citizens are engaged in agricultural and kindred pursuits and all of whose citizens are affected thereby, be it Resolved, that we shall encourage among them agricultural and kindred pursuits and shall endeavor to take the drudgery of it and make it as dignified as any other profession by encouraging a better and higher standard of living; by owing our farms and equipping them with the latest field and garden implements; by buying less and producing more of what we use on our farms; by diversifying our crops and systematizing our work, a calculating, intelligently, on our expenditures; by discountening the credit and mortgage systems and any other practice that will tend to ruin; by encouraging fruit growing, stock and poultry raising and breeding, canning and dairying; by building good WIDOWS' BANQUET THANKSGIVING NIGHT, NOVEMBER 24, 1904.

Resolved further, that since the farmers' convention has been made a permanent feature of the work of Lincolna Institute and since a regular department of agriculture has been established in the school, that we renew our efforts to organize local conventions in every community and county where are enough negroes to warrant it, and encourage them to give their boys and girls an opportunity to attend Lincoln Institute, where a theoretical and practical knowledge of the latest and best methods of farming may be acquired and utilized at home in the culture of cereal, of vegetables, of fruit etc. Resolved further, that we call upon the legislature of Missouri to make me apportion which will enable President Allen to carry out the plans for teaching the colored farmers of Missouri and rendering them the assistance which can be given only by such agencies as Lincoln Institute offers. Resolved that we thank Dr. B. F. Allen, president of the convention, for his untiring efforts to keep ablaze the fires of interest in the work and for the opportunity to meet here on these beautiful grounds, for the courteous and kind treatment we have received while in session here. Resolved, t at we thank the newspapers that have published our proceeding and annu oment s in the past and for what further courtesies they may show us. Respectfully. J. S. Not n. Chairman. J H.
