Sedalia Weekly Conservator

Sedalia Weekly Conservator. THE St. Louis negroes will celebrate their recent Republican successes, in an appropriate manner next Teusday evening. Many men of prominence are billed to speak on that occasion. Of A W. Loyd, the negro committeeman, resident in St. Louis, it may be said that he is a hustler, from "way back". WORK on the new Industrial Building, at George R. Smith College, has begun. Excavations have been made and the foundation is being put in place. This will mark the beginning of a new era in the history of this institution. Let the people hold themselves in readiness to assist in this most laudable enterprise. SEDALIANS are very much elated over the election of the Hon. Henry Lamm, as one of the Supreme Court Justices. No better citizen, than he, could have been found throughout the vast domain of our Great State. Dearly beloved by all his fellow towns people and a persistent advocate of right and justice, we cannot do other than predict for him a most prosperous judicial career. We do not mean to be "Hoggish"; but it would be pretty nice for Sedalia to furnish the next Republican senator from this state. Now, if we did not have the man possessing all those attributes that go to the make-up of a thorny americanized senator we would not say a word. Thanks to our lucky stars, we have the man, in the person of the Hon John Homer Bothwell, who stands peer, with America's Greatest, for Intelligence, Conservatism, Progress, Patriotism and Character. Republican Missouri would do herself a very great honor by sending, to the Federal Senate, a personality, such as Mr. Bothwell represents, to take the place of that stalwart servant of all the people of this State, Francis Marion Cockerell. Who is to have the credit for the signal Republican victory achieved in Pettis county? This question may be more properly answered by the asking of another. Who would have been censured had the county gone down in defeat? We venture to assert that, almost to a man, everybody would have blamed the Chairman of the county committee and those associated with him. Isn't that true? Now if he and his associates are to be censured when adversity befalls the party should they not receive the credit, their just part, when the party is victorious? An old maxim says: "It's a poor rule that what we both ways." We believe that Messrs. E. E. Codding, H. D. Dow and C. W. Daugherty and other men who were closely associated with them, should have sufficient credit for the victory won. These gentlemen have labored incessantly to win victory, and it has come with all its attendant glories, let these "war horses" have their just rewards, in glories and spoils. Mrs. Harmon went about her Thanksgiving preparations with a heavy heart, for the first time within her recollection the relatives, each and severally, had sent regrets By reason of illness, company, sudden journeys, not one of the large connection could be present. With a sigh she had turned to those two perennial guests, the minister and the school teachers, but they, too, had other plans of headful disappointment; gram will bear the very crowning ticipants beearly labors. Her husbands felt her distress, affected way, for no matters came or went, the PRent, and their interest. Rev. R. David the great dinner was ad ever been.

Admission 10 entirely Dick No Change In Rates St. Louis, Mo.,—At at a ning held today of Terminal at which there was a full rep ration of the officers in charg the passenger traffic, it was unanimous opinion that the should be no reduction in excursion rates to St. Louis and n change in present arrangement during the remainder of the exposition period. The rates during the entire seven months of the World's Fair have been exceedingly low. lower in fact than rates made for any exposition in the past and it was thought that conditioned do not warrant any change in the arrangement. OFF TO ATTEND Y. M. C.A. CONVENTION. Prof. A. C. Maclin of the Department of Mathematics, accompanied by Messrs Garfield Jefferson, an Academic Fourth year student and T. Reeves a Divinity student, left Thursday morning for Marshall, Mo., where they will represent George R.

E. church, Quinn Chapel, Thursday night on, preached a practical sermon, from the text, "Hild fast thou, wich thou hast". He emphatically declared that, if we as a race wished to become permanent, we must become owners of something. He said, "I come to say to my people, tonight, that for you to become permanently establihed in this government, you must ow the soil upon which you live, pay taxes and give tangible support to the government. It is rue, that in 40 years of liberty, we have gained 30,000 homesteads; but we could have had a great many more. We might have had more had we been careful. The parent should have nailed it down to the child. It was their duty to have taught them how to, "hold fast thou, which thou hast". To the young people, he spoke and urged them to build character—to save something; to do something and to be something. Said he, "Character alone will make you great.

George Thomas Ireland, the Capital's Pressman, departed for St. Louis Monday night, where he will join his wife in "doing the Great Fair. The Sons of Allen and Friends were very pleasantly entertained on the evening of Nov., 3rd, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Cargyle, 815 Brooklyn Avenue by a worthy member, Mr. J. W. Crowe. Those present were Messrs B. F. Cargyle, A. Hackley, B. F. Wright, S. H. Burnett and their wives; Mesdames A. Carroll, M. J. Shaw; the Misses Louisa Walker, Vary F. Thor ton, Bessie I.

MK-T --- right; if your homes are right, the government will be right. Buil individual character and 'Hold thou fast.'" The Bishop, also, spoke of the importance of, Good Health, and stated that Insurance Companies are refusing to insure negroes because of their mortality, brought about by the lack of the proper care of the body. He said, "soap and water are good civilizers and when we become more thoroly accustomed to the use of soap and water, exercise and fresh air, then, will we live longer". Verily, the Bishop is right, for it is these little things that civilizes and opens the way for religion. Both civilization and religion must precede Christianity. The Strike situation at the new Shopes is yet unaltered. It almost reached a critical stage Monday. It was rumored that Negro brick masons were being imported here from the South to finish the work, and the strikers held up colored men who had to go to East Sedalia to work. Mrs. Susie Blackburn and Miss Nellie Palmer, of Kansas City, Mo., on their return from a visit to the World's Fair, stopped off here for a few days visit at the home of Mrs. Blackburn's mother, Mrs. Arris Abbott. Kwilke Sakkan, the native African Missionary lecture, now touring Missouri spoke five times here this week, at Geo. R. Smith College and at the three principal churches. His lecture comes as a direct appeal from Africa for a Christian civilization of that country and is having the desired effect. Miss Harmond, of Omaha, Neb is visitingat the home of Mr. Morgan Brown.

This good brother is constantly on the move and his congregation, at the Morgan street church, has made greater progress, under his pastorate, than it has for many years George R. Smith College student body worshipped, at Quinn Chapel, last Sunday morning. A very inspiring sermon was preached, by Rev. Alexander, the pastor Those present were greatly edified by the sermon and the singing on the choir. Mrs. Vina Williams sang a very beautiful solo, that won the earnest attention of all present. W.

Who can write the life-tragedies that may be traced to the “bolting” of luncheons at “quick-luneh coun- ters"? asks the Chicago Journal. Yet tt would seem that even a “quick lunch” ig becoming too slow, There are signs in the windows and over the door of a ceriain restaurant announ- ing, "The Quicker Lunch.” “he Quickest Lunch" will probably soon follow. Has life become so rapid that a man cannot take time to eat? Is it possibls that he can allow himself only ten minutes for luncheon; and that, even while eating, he cannot take time to smile, or to turn off the steam, but must keep the throttle valve of his thinking machine wide open, planning, planning, thinking, thinking? Not long ago a business man said that his part. ner, who had recently married, “took his wedding (rip om an elevator in a skyscraper.” It was the only time he felt he could spare to celebrate such a minor affair as bis marriage!

URGES TEACHERS TO WED. German Leader Advocates Marriage as Means to Aid Cause of Public Education. Marriage as a means of fostering public education was advocated at the reception recently given in New York by the Society of Educational Research in honor of Drs. Von Seeberg, Duncker and Kuypers. Dr. Von Seeberg and Dr. Duncker are privy counsellors of the German government and members of the German ministry of commerce. Dr. Kuypers is superintendent of schools at Dusseldorf. They have been investigating public school methods in various parts of America. Dr. Duncker spoke in high praise of the American system of education as he and his colleagues had found it. He had discovered, he said, that American instructors teach pupils not to depend too much on others, but to help themselves. Dr. Kuyper said he was greatly impressed with the desire of the American teachers to perfect themselves in their art, and especially as they would be in their profession only for a short period. He sail he could not understand how so many attractive women teachers could be induced to stick to their work, and thought it would be an excellent thing if they could be persuaded to marry and then interest their husbands in educational work.

TILL NOON The Simple Dish That Keeps One Vigorous and Well Fed. When the Doctor takes his own medicine, and the grocery eats the food he recommends, some confidence comes to the observer. A Grocer of Ossian, Ind., had a practical experience with food worth anyone's attention. He says: "Six years ago I became so weak from stomach and bowel trouble that I was finally compelled to give up all work in my store, and, in fact, all sorts of work, for about four years. The last year I was confined to the bed nearly all of the time, and much of the time unable to retain food or any sort on my stomach. My bowels were badly constipated continually, and I lost in weight from 165 pounds down to 88 pounds. "When at the bottom of the ladder I changed treatment entirely, and started in on Grape-Nuts and cream* for nourishment. I used absolutely nothing but this for about three months. I slowly improved until I got out of bed and began to move about. "I have been improving regularly, and now in the past two years have been working about fifteen hours a day in the store, and never felt better in my life. "During these two years I have never missed a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and cream, and often have it two meals a day, but the entire breakfast is always made of Grape-Nuts and cream alone. "Since commencing the use of Grape-Nuts I have never used anything to stimulate the action of the bowels, a thing I had to do for years, but this food keeps me regular and in fine shape, and I am growing stronger and heavier every day. "My customers, naturally, have been interested, and I am compelled to answer a great many questions about Grape-Nuts. "Some people would think that a simple dish of Grape Nuts and cream would not carry one through to the noonday meal, but it will, and in the most vigorous fashion."

THE TWO STRANGERS STARED AT EACH OTHER The STRANGERS' THANKSGIVING The STRANGERS' THANKSGIVING By ELIZABETH FERGUSON SEAT Mrs. Harmon went about her Thanksgiving preparations with a heavy heart; for the first time within her recollection the relatives, each and severally, had sent regrets By reason of illness, company, sudden journeys, not one of the large connection could be present. With a sigh she had turned to those two perennial guests, the minister and the school teacher; but they, too, had other plans. It was a dreadful disappointment; the Thanksgiving dinner and the houseful of guests were the very crowning episode of her yearly labors. Her husband and three sons felt her distress, but rather in a reflected way, for no matter whether guests came or went, they would be present, and their interest in the success of the great dinner was as vital as it had ever been. They had helped to feed the two pampered turkeys and gather in the stores of fruits and vegetables, and they looked forward to the realization of their anticipations with lively interest. The day dawned clear and cold, and Mrs. Harmon began her final preparations for the event, the lack of guests, or even the anticipation of any, disturbed her so greatly that she appealed to her sons. Dick and John and Benjamin watched her spread the lice upon a fruit cake sympathetically. "Tell you, mother, what'll we do," declared Dick, mischievously, "we'll go down to where our line joins the big road, and we'll just invite whoever passes, along, providing we like his looks." His mother looked doubtful. "Well, not too many, you know, Dick; and do it in the right way. I don't suppose that anybody'll come, or even pass by, for that matter. That 'big road' is a pretty lonesome one, especially so late in the season." The boys departed upon their novel mission in high glee, but presently Dick THE TWO STRANGERS sent Benjamin back to inquire how long they were to keep the invitation open. Satisfied that all their roffers of good cheer would be honored up to the blowing of the big dinner horn, they hurried down the frosty lane in high spirits. The road made a sharp turn in front of the lane, and that they might not be taken unawares. Dick posted John, who was too shy to address any stranger, where he might watch in one direction for the faintest tokens of the approach of anyone, and he and Benjamin located themselves upon a fallen log on the opposite side of the road to keep an eye out in the other direction. The sky was blue and cloudless; the dead leaves fell in showers at every gust of wind; in the woods, not far away, there was now and then a clatter of falling nuts. The boys waited in silence for a few minutes, but no one appeared. Benjamin grew restless. "I can't sit so still and proper. I guess I'll run over there in the woods and pick a pocketful of those nuts. They're shellbarks, and the squirrels are working for their lives." But just as he started, John made signs of distress, and Dick, as master of ceremonies, came up very properly, and hastily began to rehearse a little speech which he had prepared as they came along. A young man, riding a gray pony, trotted down the highway. As he approached the curve in the road the three boys stood up, and were so evidently waiting for him that he stopped his horse in great astonishment and stared at them quite as earnestly as they were staring at him. Gravely and politely Dick described the state of affairs at his home, and asked the young man to lend the sauce of his presence to their feast. The stranger gazed at the three boys mutely for an instant, and then a twinkle crept into the corners of his eyes, and he took out his watch. "Eleven o'clock," he exclaimed, gravely. "Are you sure it's not too late?" "Oh, no," cried Benjamin, hopefully, "the horn hasn't blowed, and mother said 'twouldn't be too late till after that." "Show him the way, Ben," commanded the big brother, solemnly, "and be sure to feed the pony." Then he added earnestly to the stranger: "You're certain that we're not taking you away from anybody else? Your folks won't miss you?" The young man's merry countenance was instantly saddened. "No, they won't miss me. You needn't be afraid." As the guest disappeared down the lane, following the guidance of the nimble Benjamin, the two boys turned hopefully to the highway. If only another traveler as desirable were abroad and willing to be feasted, the day would be a triumph after all. But travelers did not seem to be journeying, and the minutes lagged dreadfully. From the position of the sun and the state of his appetite John knew that it was almost 12, and instead of watching the highway he kept his wistful gaze fastened upon his elder brother, who was employed in whittling unknown species of animals from a piece of soft pine. So a surrey, drawn by a handsome pair of bays, was upon them before they were aware of its approach. The boys sprang to their feet and shouted just as it was dashing past. The driver drew up with difficulty, and the only occupant, an old gentleman, with white hair and a very wrinkled face, looked out to see what was wanted. Rather incoherently, and in some confusion, Dick told his story and gave his invitation, omitting to state the presence of the other stranger. The driver of the surrey, which was from a livery stable in a small town ten miles away, looked displeased, and prepared to drive on, but the old gentleman said: "I shall miss the New York train anyway, as it lacks but ten minutes to 12, and I consider it a privilege to eat Thanksgiving dinner with such hospitable people. If the young men will get into the carriage and indicate the way we will accept their kindness and that of their good mother with many thanks." As the surrey dashed up to his residence, Mr. Harmon was stepping upon the front porch with the big horn in his hand. He dropped it in astonishment and hastily summoned his wife. The boys scrambled out and the old gentleman followed. As he was about to introduce himself, the young man, with Benjamin, appeared at the end of the porch. The two strangers stared at each other. The younger one grew very pale while the other grew very red. Then, STARED AT EACH OTHER. while the whole Harmon family were staring with all their might, the younger man rushed forward and cried: "Father, won't you forgive me?" Mrs. Harmon sat down upon the door-step and cried, the boys shrank back to the very corner of the porch, the other father leaned against a pillar and waited, for this proud father was taking a long time to open his heart. But at last he did it; he sighed, and a host of the hard, fine wrinkles vanished from his face as he said: "My son!" and held his arms. The Harmons crowded forward; even the driver pressed nearer. The very air grew fragrant with Thanksgiving. Then forgetful of the great dinner, everybody waited while the old gentleman explained. It was the old story. His son and he had quarreled, and the young man had gone west to make his fortune. That was two years ago, and there was a white-haired old lady far away in New York who cried every day for a boy that never came, but who was coming at last, for after dinner they would drive over to the station, and in a couple of days there would be another Thanksgiving, and this old lady would be at the feast. Then Mr. Harmon blew the horn, not-withstanding everybody was on the spot, and Mrs. Harmon announced dinner. It was the most thankful feast that she had ever served, though, for the first time in her career as a housekeeper, she had to share the credit for it, for Dick insisted that at least half the glory was his—Young People.

"Gentlemen," began the fakir as he arranged numerous bottles on a little table at a downtown street corner and prepared for business, "has anyone in this crowd get a toothache?" No one answered, relates the Chicago teen. "Has an aneurache or a headache?" Not a man had anything to say. "No a man that anything to say, with illusion can be pouled with insomnia? Are you low spitited, and do you find yourself thinking of suicide?" The appeal was like the other—in vain. The crowd elbowed each other, but no one advanced. "Gentlemen; very well. Now, is there anyone here who indulges in inroxicants and wishes to conceal the fact from the women folks? If so, I guarantee that one drop of this marvelous preparation placed on the tongue will instantly remove the odor of any—" There was a mad rush from all direct thrills, the next five minutes he gave change and passed out the bottles with both hands.

Speaking of the matter he says: "I am only too happy to say Dodd's Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. I had awful pains in my hip so I could hardly walk. Dodd's Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. I think they are a grand medicine." All seismic and Rhematic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood.

Main and Missouri Private Orders Given Special Attn You will Be Patron Editorial Comment Former's Convention Endorsed And Its Promoters En From the reading of the resolutions adopted by the Farmer's Convention held at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., Nov., 4 we are assured that President Benjamin F. Alen is doing profitable work for the promotion of Agriculture, among our people thruout the Great Central West Too much stress can not be placed upon industrial instruction, especially, scientific farming, among our fellow race men, because, by far, the greater number of us must engage in this very important occupation. Dr. Allen and others are rendering the race a great service, by teaching it that agriculture is as honorable and requires as much intelligent effort as any other avocation that men follow. Let a thousand thoughtful men and women, of our race, join energies with Professors Allen, Moten, Yates, Damel, Garnett, Murray and others in their efforts to disabuse the mind of our youth of the insignificance of the farmer; may they be sufficiently able to implant permanently the true and proper idea of the industrious honest and intelligent husbandman into the very characters of our boys and girls. We again publish the resolutions adopted by this Convention of thinking and earnest negroes that our readers and patrons may peruse them carefully. After having read them thoughtfully, see if you do not feel it to be encumbent upon YOU to do something toward the encouragement of this all important enterprise. Read, the following resolutions with thoughtful care, then act as your better judgment dictate:- Whereas, we believe that education is to prepare us for better life and acceptable citizenship, and that we shall not be prepared therefor, if we do not teach the youth of this generation the dignity of labor and show thm the strength and independence and maniness 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 out of it and make it as dignified as any other profession by encouraging a better and higher standard of living; by owning our farms and equipping them with the latest field and garden impliments; by buying less and producing more of what we use on our farms; by diversifying our crops and systematizing our work, and 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 homes, comfortable and attractive; by subscribing for good papers and magazines and keeping our eyes open for the best markets; by building good churches and school houses and asking for the best and most competent teachers and preachers; by encouraging our boys and girls to become peaceable and good citizens and to make themselves indispensable to the communities in which they live. Resolved further, that since the farmers' convention has been WIDOWS' BANQUET THANKSGIVING NIGHT, NOVEMBER 24, 1904. Mirth, Music And Fun. Admission 40 Cents REVS. NORRIS & WARFIELD, MGRS. made a permanent feature of the work of Lincoln Institute and since a regular department of agriculture has been established in the school, that we enew our efforts to organize local conventions in every community and county where ar 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 cereals, of vegetables, of fruit etc. Resolved further, that we call upon the legislature of Missouri to make some appropriation 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, that we thank the newspapers that have published our proceedings and announcements in the past and for what further courtesies they may show us. Respectfully, J. S. Moten, Chairman, J. H. Garnett, J. W. Damel, J. S. Yates. Lincoln Institute Notes Echoes of the Farmers' convention are still in the air. In the valuable paper prepared by Professor Daniel of the Department of Agriculture and Biology, he emphasize the necessity of combining the scientific and practical phases of agriculture, if one would become a successful farmer; the importance of ownership of land by one men who till the soil; and the manner in which Lincoln Institute caa become the great, central rallying point for educational work along agricultural, as well as in other branches, or departments of work, already established here.
