SEDALIA, MO., SATURDAY APRIL, 7, 1906 If It Was Sedalia? In Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" the lover, Marius, becomes enraged at his sweetheart, Cosette because, in crossing a street, she disclose just a glimpse of her pretty ankle. How fortunate for Cosette that she did not live in Kansas City, during the muddy season. —Kansas City Star. Merited Promotion. Rev A H Higgs, D. D., pastor of the North Street Methodist Episcopal Church returned from conference this week and is proud of the honor shown him in electing him presiding elder of the St Joseph district of the Central Missouri Conference. We believe he will be the right man for the place —Marshall Republican Negro State Fair. The Professional World quotes president B. F. Allen, of Lincoln Institute, as being anxious for a Negro State Fair for Missouri Negroes. We heartily, endorse such a movement and will most cheerfully join the Negro School Journal, published at Madison, Mo., in pushing such an enterprise to the front. Note the following clippings "President Allen, always fertile in resources that tend toward race elevation, suggests that the matter of holding a Negro State Fair at some time and place during the summer months. He will be pleased to hear from leading citizens of Missouri relative to such a movement, at the earliest moment convenient, in order that if satisfactory, necessary steps for a successful finish, at once may be undertaken." --Prof. World. "The Journal seconds the motion of Dr. B F Allen that the negroes of this state organize a State Fair. Besides showing our stock, agriculture and poultry products, ect., we will be able to show the greatest product, the skill of the negro boys and girls. Negro School Journal. Takes Umbrage at Gov. Folk. The hanging of Curtis Jackson the 13 year old boy at Poplar Bluff last Friday was the most disgrace ful act ever permitted by the authorities of the law in the Stare of Missouri. If Jackson had been lynched, the disgrace on the State of Missouri could not have been greater, and the shame on the administration of Gov. Folk would have been far less. The Professional World has always been an ardent admirer and supporter of Gov. Folk and voluntarily supported him for governor, and we have been in sympathy with all of his efforts to enforce the law and good government crusade, but ig this instance we believe, and unhesitatingly say, that His Excellency failed to place the proper value on human life when he suffered a mere child to be hanged for 'frightening' a woman. Granting that the boy was guilty (and the greatest of doubts exists as to his guilt) no fairminded citizen would believe that his case warranted capital punishment. If children are to be hanged for crimes of this nature, the Reform atorv at Boonyville, which is main tained at a great expense to the State, should be abolished, and in his next message to the legislature, the Governor should recommend the enactment of of a statute prouiding for "Juvenile hang ings." No good citizen will oppose the enforcement of the laws of his state, neither will he plead for the letting off of criminals of any class go unpunished, but Governor Folk will doubtless find that the citizens of Missouri will condemn such inhumane acts as the hanging of a more boy. When an appeal was made to the Governor for clemency for Jackson some days before the hanging, he gave out the assurance that the matter would be carefully considered. But after this careful consideration, he allowed the hanging to go on to the shame and disgrace of the state of Missouri. Professional World. Pastors of the Sedalja District. DEAR BRETHERN: -You have just closed a very successful year in the work of the church. I congratulate you for the heroic efforts you have put forth to achieve so great a victory for Christ's Kingdom and humanity. Let us double our energies for the present year and let us resolve to be more faithfully engaged in the work of the Master. Let us see to it that the work assigned to us does not lag on our hands. But let us be mindful of the many grave duties and ponderous responsibilities that have been placed upon us by the head of the Church. As we go forth to discharge our every duty, may we do with our might whatsoever our hands find to do. May I urge you to, "Take the task he gives you gladly; Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly, when he calleth, 'Here am I, send me, send me.'" W. H. SMITH, P. E. SPRINGFIELD The 22nd anniversary of the Kos P's was appropriately observed at the Washington avenue Baptist church on the after noon of the 25 ult, under the auspices of Fidelity lodge No. 7 and Pythagoras court No. 16. This court was organized on the night of the 22nd and starts off on her mission to spread the principles of "Fidelity Harmony and Love," and to help the Order to uplift the race. An excellent program was rendered A new era has dawned upon Fidelity lodge and she will, creelong, take her place alongside of our leading lodges. A Uniform Rank is the next step we hope to make and we mean to keep Fidelity square with the Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. Our work in this city stands as an expression of our hearty ap proval of the present administration of that stalwart Pythian leader and successful organizer, A W Lloyd, Grand Chancellor, the man who has more than quadrupled the membership and finances of the Order, during his tenure of office. And we have an abiding faith in that intreped little heroine and proficient leader of our Calanthe an heroes, Miss Arsania M Williams, Grand Worthy Councillor. May these worthy leaders live long to bless mankind with their work The writer cannot close this article without a favorable mention of the Sedalia Weekly Conservator, one of our official organs that is doing much to spread the principles of our great and growing institution. Every lodge and court in our jurisdiction ought to take from 5 to 25 copies of this paper every week. I mean to have it well circulated in Springfield. Fraternally yours in F. C. & B. B. F. ADAMS, D.

Let the and improve its streets, under the construction of morerary influences from that said in the work will receive. Since the clean sweep by the Independents, the Republicans of this County are beginning to "get busy." Aspirants for Nominations for County offices are becoming far more numerous and active. It is a wise thing for them to let the people see them, if they would wish to be favorably considered. Judge J W Trusk of the City Court announces himself as an aspirant for the nomination for Probate Judge upon the republican ticket. It pleases, as to state that he has an excellent record clear down the line from being an Old Soldier to his present position. His republicanism is pure and too simple to be mixed with anything else. During his several years' service as Police Judge of this city we have heard no complaints of unfairness but his decisions have been remarkable for their constant tempering of the sternness of the law with Quixotic mercy. Many join us in hoping that the Judge may have no opposition for what he seeks. Our old friend, young Charles W. Daugherty, Circuit Clerk, announces his Candidacy for renomination for the same position. We all know him to be an accomplished accountant, sober and industrious citizen, and an earnest aggressive young republican. He has made a good record and we believe the rank and file of the party are anxious to have him make the race again. W. S. Scott has announced his candidacy for renomination for Collector on the republican ticket. For several years we have known him and find that he is a gentleman in every respect. This office has been very carefully and acceptably looked after by him and his deputies for the past two years. No valid reasons can be given why he should not be made one of the party's standard bearers for another term. Our fondest hopes are to see the nomination given to him without any opposition, because we believe he can make a good race. From time to time we shall speak of the relative merits of these gentlemen in order that our patrons may be able to form a true and patriotic opinion of them. To sweep the County this fall, we must organize early and labor unceasingly, because we have an alert and tireless energy to deal with on every side. Supremacy of the People. Tuesday's election was a fair in sentiment and the supremacy of the for espousing the cause of the CH movement, because we believed that the ideas of municipal administratives of both parties are the best seen differently and we bow graces and only one may be made of the the with-holding of information in public.

Tuesday's election was a fair illustration of the power of public sentiment and the supremacy of the people. We make no apology for espousing the cause of the Citizens, Republican or Bi-partisan movement, because we believed then and believe even until yet that the ideas of municipal administration as enunciated by the Conservatives of both parties are the best for Sedalia. But the people have seen differently and we bow gracefully to the results. One criticism and only one may be made of the Citizens' movement and that was the with-holding of information concerning the public from the public. While we believe we know that the motives that prompted such reticence were the noblest conceivable, yet it gave grounds upon which the disgruntled built all manner of fabrication and misrepresentation. As is well known, the popular will is too easily swayed, by sensational suppositions, from sober and careful consideration of grave questions. American institutions are built on publicity and whenever a resort to reticence is brought into operation, the mal contents usually use their strength in misrepresentation. The people have made their choice and we are now ready to join our energy with them to bring about the changes that are necessary for our development and well being. Let the new administration visit the North side and improve its streets, provide better water and light service, order the construction of more sidewalks and scare the cans and unsanitary influences from that section of the city and we assure all who aid in the work will receive full credit for whatever they do.

Post Notice of Resistance to Order That Negroes Must Move. According to a weird notice posted in Greenwood a 'Black League has been organized there to resist the Ku Klux Klan. A few days ago a typewritten warning to move was tacked on the porch of Scott White, a negro who had moved into a fashionable part of the suburb. It was signed "Hangman, president; Sha rpshooter, secretary; Deadnigger, treasvrer." White said that he was willing to move, but he had paid $150 in rent and would like to live it out. The defiant notice of the Black League read as follows: "We will clean out the rough citizens of Greenwood in 20 minutes if Scott White is disturbed. If he has done anything wrong, let the law take its course," It is signed, "Jesse James, president; Harry Tracey, secretary; and Sitting Bull, treasurer." Pythian Banner Planted In Bunceeton. We are pleased to inform the public that the good citizens of Bunceton have joined the Pythian band. On Friday evening, March 16, Grand Chancellor A W Lloyd of St Louis, Editor W H Houston of Sedalia and Prof A H Harris of Versailles, were in the city on Pythian business and delivered addresses Saturday evening March 29. Grand Chancellor Lloyd, assisted by D. D. G. S. Harris, organized a srong Pythian lodge consisting of twenty-four (24) members. The Order at Bunceton is composed of preachers, teachers, business men and the most promi- --- --- inent citizens of the city. Rev C H Steward deserves much credit for the energy displayed in managing the Pythian Club. Everything was ready when the Grand Chancellor and deputies reached the city. The boys were ready to ride the goat, and too, they had a great time riding especially Prof E S Redd. While the boys were resting from the second ride a first-class lunch was spread, which was very pleasing to the goat. After the boys had devoured chickens, ham, fish, coffee, cakes etc., the boys were ready for the last ride. Having completed the work, Grand Chancellor A W Lloydin a neat little speech unfolded some of the mysteries of the Order and the gavel sounded for the evening, adding another star to the old flag of Pythianism. And too, we are pleased to know that this flag is destined to wave over every village and hamlet in Old Missouri. Mr Matterson Emery stated that he enjoyed the goat ride, but did not enjoy the buggy ride from Bunceton to Tipton after the goat ride. Grand Chancellor A W Lloyd said the buggy ride from Bunceton was too much for him. Prof A H Harris made no complaint, but said, "anything for a good time." MALTA BEND.

This sterling organization has weathered the theatrical seas for 28 years, never changing its management, and not once departing from their established rule of presenting only what is great good and wholesame in the minstrel world. Other minstrel companies have come and gone, but Richards & Pringte's go on forever. The secret of their success has been the fact that the management has always firmly believed that the paying public craved a genuine colored minstrel performance when presented on the lines that made minstrelsy popular years ago; their belief has been proven to be the correct one. Sweet southern melodies, beautiful and entrancing music by skilled musicians, dancing as only the negro can dance, and witticisms told as only the darky can tell them.

CONFERENCE. Report of Treasurer of The Woman's Home Missionary Society. It may be gratifying to many to know that one of the most interesting departments of the recent Annual Conference at Lexington was that of the above named society. In comparing the statistics on Saturday evening, the bishop called the attention of the brethren to their methods and asked them to take note. He remarked that the reason that the women had gone from 91 last year to 197 this year was because the women began internally, worked externally and were everlastingly at it. This work is but three years old in this Conference and has 15 auxiliaries, encouraged by Mrs Ward of St Louis, Mrs Mayne Smith of Sedalia, Mrs Smalley of Bridgeton, Mrs Whaley of Kansas City, Mrs Fulghem of Rolls, Mrs Ella M Palmer of St Louis and Mrs Henley of Louisiana, all Conference officers, besides many ladies present from the auxiliaries. When the Conference voted the officers for the work, while in Seedalia three years ago, the entire Conference had brought up $9 for Woman's Home Missionary cause, but year by year they have listened to the pleadings of these women, and by the aid of nearly every minister they come with good results for this the Silver Anniversary of this society in the great Methodist Episcopal church.
