At the regular eveng service at Burn's Chapel, last night, following a powerful sermon on "The Everlasting Kingdom." from Daniel, second chapter, 44th verse, by Rev J M Harris, D.

ITS PRINCIPLES AND WO PROF, B. F. ADAMS, ITS PRINCIPLES AND WORK ABLY OUTLINED BY PROF, B. F. ADAMS, OF SPRINGFIELD, MO. Whatever tends to elevate, ennoble and better man's condition; whatever savors the moral, intellectual and spiritual nature; what ever smooths the asperities and ameliorates man's condition in any way, should not only be encouraged and advocated, but should receive our highest admiration and hearty support. That the Order of Knights of Pythias does this no fair minded man will deny. That the principles and practice of Pythianism is an embodiment of these virtues no sane person will deny. These virtues are not new ones, but they anteced the birth of Christ by more than 2000 years. The ancient Greek philosophers taught a system of moral ethics that bound its votaries by a mystic tie of sacred friendship than which nothing was stronger—men were secretly united, pledged to do no harm to their fellows, pledged to help each other, pledged to alleviate suffering humanity. They were sworn to secrecy and had to SOMETHING BARGAINS, FINE Miniatures, 25 Something Better Kodak finishing largement a Spe SOMETHING NEW!

Thesegreat philosophers taught the science, in such a way that their subjects became the embodiment and essence of their teaching, and exemplified it in their lives. The greatest exponent of these principles was Pythagoras, the teacher of the prototypes of our glorious and noble Order—Damon and Pythias—synonymous of Love, Friendship, Loyalty and Devotion. The one an honest, devoted, self-sacrificing Senator of the Syracusean Empire, the other a trusty, intrepid and earnest soldier. These two young men were pure examples of friendship, devotion, virtue and benevolence. These two young men are living examples of the teachings of secret societies. They are the very embodiment of the twin virtues—Friendship, Charity and Benevolence—the cardinal principles of the great institution known as the "Knights of Pythias." This is "Pythianism." Knighthood, Chivalry, Bravery. Friendship is something we can hardly define, and of all the passions, most nearly approaches love. Charity, as understood by Pythians, means brotherly affection, help, benevolence. Among Pythians, good will is toward another—well written ```markdown ``` ORK ABLY OUTLINED BY OF SPRINGFIELD, MO. brotherly kindess. This is Pythianism. A writer well said: "Coming events cast their shadows before them." And so it has been with our Order, it is expansive, it is general, it cannot be confined. It is progressive—not retrogressive, it is a part of the progress and civilization of the 20th century. It teaches loyalty to government, loyalty to God, devotion to home, protection to brothers. It is a safeguard to our families, a menace to crime and falsehood. This is ideal Pythianism. This is what Pythian Knighthood teaches. And now, Bro Knight, if you have not learned this lesson, if you have forgotten that he who wins the "golden spurs," and swears as he buckles his sword, to draw that sword in defence of innocent maidens and the Christian religion, I bid you turn again to that Grecian scene and learn its lessons o'er and o'er until its teachings are your own; for this and this only is Pythianism.

Napier, a Negro lawyer and banker of Nashville, Tenn., gave President Roosevelt a genuine surprise when he declined to accept a government office which had been offered to him voluntarily. Mr. Roosevelt offered Mr. Napier the United consulship at Banda, Brazil, which is an important post. Napier called at the White House and declined the place. He told the President he was satisfied with his position in the South and does not believe he would benefit himself by going to 7 . A . Campeon Brazil.

BUTLER. John Ford who has been confined to his bed for several days is now convalescent. We have been blessed by a big snow, measuring in many places from three to four feet. Mrs Minnie Arnold and daughter, Gertrude, of Kansas City, Mo were here last week to attend the funeral of her father. William and John Davis and William Horn of Nevada were in our city last week. The Davis's took two degrees of Masonry before returning home. We are informed that Otto Walker ane Ernest Crouch are making good in football at Lincoln Institute this year. Hurrah! for our a nateur. Mrs Bantrees was called to the city last Sunday to attend the funeral of her brother-in-law. She returned to her home in Paola, Kansas, last Wednesday.

She is also a very active church worker. Aaron Duncan, of Mt Olive, who has been in Sedalia during the winter, is in our city. He says that he may remain here all the time if the ladies will treat him right. The blizzard Monday diminished very greatly our attendance at school. But since the passing of the storm all are at work. Rev J T Thornley was unilisposed Sunday to the extent that that he was unable to perform his pastoral duties. His appointments were filled by the Reverend William Pankey. Mrs Eliza Patton one of our aged mothers, departed this life last Monday morning. The funeral services were held at the Baptist church.

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF. Christmas has come and gone. New Year's has brought its all inviting hopes before us. Now is the time to wise and sober resolutions. All of us have turned over a new leaf, figuratively speaking. It has been turned over all right, but how long will we let it remain turned over? So many of us, after we have turned over new leaves often, delight to turn back to the old ones because we love them best. You had best be a little cautious lest you get your leaves tangled. Don't be so loud in your talk about the new leaf, the new life, the new aspirations and the new ideals. Talk less of them and show us by your activity what you mean. People today judge each other not by their talk, but by the standard of what they are doing. It is always in order to change for the better. When you change we will all know it. DIES AT HIS PLACE OF DUTY. Many hearts were saddened when the intelligence of the death of Rev. J. J. Clark, pastor of St. John's M. E. church, Lexington, Mo., was announced. For more than 30 years he has occupied a foremost place among the religious workers in this state, Kansas and the West. He was a fearless champion of the right What he conceived to be right. No influence, however great, could sway him. The Central Missouri Conference loses another of its landmarks, who was one of the pioneers who blazed the way for Methodism throughout the Great Northwest. He leaves a record that is immaeculate. No criticism of his work can be made only that he labored too hard for a man of his age and physical endurance. His family is bereft of a father and husband that constantly endeavored to raise to the brightest standard of culture. By the combined efforts of himself and very amiable wife a comfortable home was maintained for all. And an opportunity for scholastic training of the best kind was given to each of the children. Death to him was void of all its terrors. Hence on the morning of the 13th, when it summoned him, he obeyed. His best eulogy at the bier was a resume of his life's work. LET THE PUBLIC BE INFORMED. In our travels in various parts of the state, we come in touch with organizations among our people that are doing some excellent work. Fraternal societies, such as the Masons, United Brothers of Friendship, Odd Fellows, True Reformers, Knights of Pythias and others of like work and influence. These organizations have something behind them, and they annually make reports to the public giving a summary and detailed account of their activity. From a survey of these reports the public as well as the members are intelligently informed of the true standing of each society. During the past year we have heard much of the Sons and Daughters of Douglass with the Rev. T. B. Gardiner at its head and one organization at Chariton, Ia., with Romulus R. Richmond at its head. So far each have many that are paying in money, either weekly or monthly. Neither have given any authentic account of their doings. Mr. Richmond's concern has been announcing from time to time, immemorial, that it would declare a dividend. When and where was that dividend declared? Until the stockholders are given some inside information, we would advise that a few payments be held back. Legitimate corporations invite investigations because their reliability is strengthened when doubt as to their solvency is removed. Our efforts are to encourage all Negro enterprises that are progressive, business-like and honorable. But where we have doubts, we shall speak out for the safety of the people, and the people's interest. Mr. Richmond and the Rev. T B Gardiner should let the public know something of their work. They should do so for their own good, as well as for the public welfare. Let the public be informed. LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE. Many citizens are discussing the advisability of making changes in our municipal government. Some have concluded that it will be very unwise to make any changes in the heads of our various municipal departments from the mayoralty down. To us it appears that since the present administration has given the municipality a sane and business-like management of affaire, it should be allowed to carry on its present scheme of business reformation. Our city administration under the present regime has been run according to business and judicious judgment, instead of following partisan dictation. As a result our annual calendars have shown a balance on the right side of the ledger.

From Now Until January 1st, 1907, You May Read The SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR For The Small Sum Of ONE DOLLAR. A Good Thing. Will You Take It? what we know has brought many good results to the Vivianian family, to an experiment? Are there any charges of extravagance against the private affairs? Are the heads of our various departments, then, in properly looking after the work allotted to them? Has incumplency been found anywhere in such great evidence as to effect hurtful our public interests? No charges of a grave nature have been placed against any department other than they have held office four or the years; and during their incumbency these officials have performed their duties to the entire satisfaction of their constituents. Why "holler" for a change? If J. L. Babcock has made a good executive for several years, why change for some one whom we know nothing of as an administrator of municipal affairs? A reduction of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) in our indebtedness is a very good thing to give this administration credit for. We are now decreasing our indebtedness instead of issuing bonds as we have been doing heretofore. Let us continue the "boys" at the same old stands as long as this holds out. CAN WE FORGET? When we read through the columns of the St Louis papers that Thomas J. Akins, National Committeeman from this state, addressed the Negroes of St. Louis recently, we were surprised. After his actions in several instances where the N. gro was concerned, not as a Negro, but as a man, a republican, though black, especially his actions in the Dr. R. Leon Hill case, we were indeed surprised to hear of his coming before our people again. American citizens, Negro republicans can never heal the wound he inflicted upon their forbearant manhood by his withdrawal of his endorsement of Dr. Hill, alleging no other reason than that he was a Negro. If Dr. Hill was a Negro he was a more loyal republican than the Hon. T. J. Akins, because he votes for and sustains those cardinal principles of republicanism as enunciated by Fremont, Lincoln, Blaine, Sumner and other illustrious founders of the party. Republicanism, if we interpret its teachings properly, recognizes manhood in men, without regard to race, color or creed, because it has held within its ranks noble hearted and fair middled men of all races, creeds and faiths. Missouri republicans, children of the "Mysterious Stranger," seem to forget that there are about 40,000 as "black" republicans as the republican deities could have created in the ranks. We grant that there are some grafters and "dirty cusses" in the colored contingent of the G. O. P. in this state, but we challenge the world for a more loyal and manly set of men than some of the "black boys" "who have never bent the sycophantic knee that thrift may follow fawning." If the republicans of this state mean to discriminate against us because of color, we must be careful about the class of republicans we select to bear our banners hereafter. As loyal republicans the party owes us something. If we vote the best class of unmarked tickets, we certainly ought to be given a "square deal" at the pie counter. We fearlessly support republicanism over the abuse of our democratic neighbors and employers. Many of us insult our personal democratic friends to stand by the party. In the face or all this, we have seen the flower of our aggressive manhood humiliated by such men as the Akins type. We are not republicans because we are Negroes, but because we honestly believe that the national policies of the republican party are the truly American policies, best suited for the general good of people. We are republicans because its policies have ever been to succor the oppressed, give hope to the discouraged and cheer the despondent. Hence we do not wish to be trampled upon to indicate to the world our long forbearance. What would the Germans, the Irish or any other element of our cosmopolitan constituency say and do if one of their most highly cultured men, with character, was turned down in the manner in which Mr. Akins turned Dr. Hill down? Can we forget it? No. Some may say that we will, but it will be false. This blow but not only Dr. Hill, but every cultured and ambitious republican who happened to be a Negro. General Howard Says There is No "Negro Problem." standing that there is a large class of writers and speakers who would raise up one." Right you are, grand old man! It is a white man's problem, and will be until their religion fellowships with the Negro as a brother beloved.—Pioneer-Press, W. Va. Speaking on the Negro question, Gen. O. O. Howard, a retired general of great bravery and founder of Howard University, says in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Gazette; "I have no patience with the 'Negro problem' bugaboo, for bugaboo it is, pure and simple. Of all that has been written decently of the colored man's status and the future of that society of which he constitutes a large element, one-tenth, is true. In the first place, it is written that the race is on the increase in the United States. Statistics disprove the statement. BUNCETON. Mrs Nannie Revis has returned from a visit in Boonville.

Pettis County Republicans are beginning already to sweep the country this fall. Following the example set by the state committee, our local politicians are beginning to buckle down to it. David Roberts, an old resident of the county and an ex-school teacher, has announced his candidacy for county clerk. His opponent, M. L. Innoff, has enjoyed several years service as deputy to several departments of our county government. He is a red hot partisan republican, ever ready for the fight. All the boys are well-acquainted, with him. His announcement we have already made, and it is hoped that the convention will give Mr. Innoff a careful consideration. Judge C.D. Rayburn, the fearless fighter from the western part of the county, has announced his candidacy for recorder. He has a clean record to sustain his efforts to secure the nomination. His neighbors and friends, irrespective of party affiliations, believe in him. One of Sedalia's sons, Walter Morey, has placed his announcement before the republicans of this county as a candidate for recorder, subject to the decision of the county convention. He is very familiarly known by many of the citizens of the county. None in the ranks of the party has a better standing as a business man and neighbor. It is the desire of his friends that he be considered for his manly worth when the time comes to select a candidate for the office he inspires to. The Conservator wishes to know also if our boys are to be counted in the general fight? We are always ready for the fray but we must insist that some of the "pie" be passed entirely around. CENTAUR.

Awful Experience of a Bridal Pair Awful Experience of a Bridal Pair A STORY of thrilling interest comes from Cook county, down the north shore of Lake Superior, the most north-easterly division of Minnesota. It relates to the home going of a newly-married couple who were attacked by wolves and had to ride and fight for their lives. A kind of Providence seems to have protected the settlers and others who reside in or have reason to traverse the territory that stretches from Duluth to the majestic Rainy river, for thus far no human being, as far as known, has been killed by these fierce forest tramps, the four-footed outlaws of the wilderness. But at least a dozen men in this territory have thus far this winter had to spend a night in trees to save themselves from being torn to pieces. Woodsmen recognize it as dangerous to be abroad in the woods after nightfall or before daybreak in the morning. The adventure of Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Carlson is the most exciting story that has come out of the north woods in a year or two. Mr. Carlson is a homesteader who has been holding down a claim about ten miles from the shore of Lake Superior. He has been moderately prosperous, and blue-eyed Lena Hanson, who got off the boat from Port Arthur, Ont., a few weeks ago to visit friends in Grand Marlas, made such an impression on him that he at once decided that life without her would be dreary and unsatisfactory indeed. Carlson was badly smitten. He easily secured an introduction to her, for all people in Cook county are neighbors and neighborly, and the formalities of polite life in the big cities have no place there. They live 20 miles apart, but still they are neighbors. Lena Hanson admired the stalwart young homestender. He looked like a man who could and would protect her. She little knew how soon he would be put to the test. Their courtship lasted but a few days, and they decided to marry at once. Mr. and Mrs. Carlson set out for the homestead at four o'clock in the afternoon, one hour after they had been quilty married. The sky was overcast and light was sure to set in early. Their means of transportation was a homemade sleigh, to which was attached the work team of their master. The team loved with the freedom peculiar to work horses when they are headed toward the arm. At about 5:30 the bride and groom were all 30 miles from the cabin, and the oods were dark and silent. The conversation and laughter of the couple were suddenly stilled by the howl of aolf. Off to the right of the road, about no city blocks distant, came the ominous note again and again. The howls of other wolves in different directions were heard. The cheeks of the bride ranched. She had never heard the howl a wolf before, but she knew what it was without asking the question. Mr. crilson could see the unusual pallor of or face even in the night. He said nothing, but whipped the horses into a loop, and, reaching down into his overat, drew forth a heavy revolver. Within five minutes the woods rang with the howls of many wolves. The first howl had come from the leader of the pack. It was the call to plunder and so well known to the people of the woods. The howl of wolves under which circumstances plants a feeling of dread into the heart of even those will prepared to defend themselves. But also has the effect of causing one to prepare to fight with great collisions and persecution, if escape is no other possible. There are other dangers to which men may be exposed that may cause them to get too excited to act to the best advantage, but there is in the pack call of the wolf a quality that composes man and makes him calm and effective when other dangers may cause him to lose his lead at the beginning. "Do you think they will attack us?" asked Mrs. Carlson, in tremulous tones of her husband. "Sure," was the brief reply. "Have you got another revolver?" asked the bride, after a pause. Carlson shook his head. "Well, I can drive, you know, if that will be any help." Carlson flashed a look of pride at his bride and nodded. The horses were galloping, and they needed no whip. The animals were madd with fear of the desperate brutes that were now gathered for the attack. The wolves, about seven as night in number, loped behind the neigh, drawing steadily nearer, their eyes blaming with a seeming light of excitement triumph. Caution is a deep-seated quality in the timber wolf, and the animals drew on slowly to their ears, as prepared to strike when the bride should give the signal. The access, though stiff from hard work, developed a speed to which they had been unaccustomed since they were colts. But the best the horses could do was to get as near home as possible before the inevitable attack. Suddenly the leader of the pack shot 20 feet ahead of its companions. He was now close up. The attack was at hand. The big gray leader leaped up level with the heads of the bride and groom, but did not attempt to land in the sleigh. It was a sort of preliminary leap of investigation, but the other wolves came up close behind him and all were ready to seize upon the couple. "Take the lines and let the horses guide themselves," shouted Carlson, as he swung round and faced the pack. His revolver was worthy of the work at hand. It was a 38 caliber weapon of dependable make. With this in his right hand, and with his left resting on the back of the seat to steady him, Carlson prepared to fight for the life of his bride and himself. The sleigh rocked perilously at times, for the road was rough in places, but the danger of a tipover could not then be even considered. Carlson had scarcely faced the wolves for action when the leader again leaped, this time with a view of seizing the man. Carlson fired and wounded the beast, which fell back howling upon the road. But the leader was not put out of action. He was quickly back in his position, more savage and eager for battle than before. Two of the wolves shot alongside the sleigh to the right, and one took the same position on the left, beside the bride. Carlson quickly shot one of the two on his side, and, reaching over to the other side, killed the one that threatened to leap upon his wife. The beasts were a bit disconcerted at this but came on again, eager for their prey. Carlson wounded two more of the beasts and then his cartridges were gone. Another wolf tried to leap upon the bride from the side of the sleigh, but she plied the whip on the beast with such good will that he drew back. Just then the sleigh dashed into the clearing of the Carlson cabin, and the big homesteader shouted for joy. He thought that the wolves would now disperse. But the brutes were hungry and the rapture of the fight was in them. Carlson's dog, brave as its master, now came to the rescue, and he was instantly killed by the first wolf that he attacked. The team stopped in front of the cabin door, as if expecting a safe haven there, quivering with fear and beaming from their exertions. "Out of the sleigh, quick!" shouted Carlson to his bride. He was by her side when she struck the ground, and he kicked the door in. Pushing her in and bidding her close the door, he turned with the revolver clubbed in his left hand and a heavy pocketknife with open blade in his right. Four wolves attacked him before he could back into the door, which was his intention, and he hesitated to try and get into the house for fear the wolves would follow him even there. Besides, his team must be protected after having brought him and his wife to the cabils without accident. Carlson is a strong and active man, but his strength and knife would not have saved him had it not been for his bride. Suddenly there was a crash of glass near the spot where the battle between the man and the wolves was in progress, and instantly the clearing about the house was lit up with a sheet of flame. The wolves fled in terror. When Mrs. Carlson found herself in the house she groped about for a weapon with which to help her husband do battle with the wolves. In the pocket of her cloak was a box of matches, one of the numerous supplies they had purchased that they had come near forgetting, and she happened to think of it while groping in the darkness. Lighting a match her eye fell on a lamp. Taking a broom, she emptied the kerosene from the lamp upon the broom and applied a lighted match to it. Then, breaking the window of the cabin, the bride climbed through the aperture with her faming torch ahead of her. The wolves that braved revolver and knife, fled precipitately at the sight of the flaming torch. Carlson's clothing was torn and he was bleeding from face and hands. But he was still strong and cool. His first words were: "Get the lantern. Lena. It's in the corner by the table." Lighting another match, she soon reappeared with the lantern, ready for use. Carlson stabled his team, but Lena helped him, despite his protests. When they had returned to the cabin, and Mrs. Carlson had dressed the wounds sustained by her husband, he turned to her and said: "Lena, you have saved my life. If it had not been for your quick wit, courage and promptness of action, I would certainly have been killed out there," jerking his thumb significantly toward the door. "Maybe," said the faithful Lena, "but you forget that you saved me out there in the woods and again at the door." "Don't forget the team. Lena. It was the horses that saved us both. We must not forget, too, that poor Sport, my dog, died for us." Lena then got busy with the supplies, and in a short time they sat down to their wedding supper, after their exciting and streousnous journey of the homecoming—Chicago Tribune.
