You read, subscribe or ad in the SEDALIA WEEKLY CONSERVATOR Several important gatherings of Negroes are now announced for the present season. Great movements that will aid in developing good and progressive sentiment will have their incipiency at these meeting. On May 4th, Dr. Booker T. Washington, the wizard of Tuskegee, will appear at Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo. Preparations have been made to make this an affair that will be far-reaching in its results. Every Negro in Central Missouri should endeavor to attend this gathering in order that they may see and hear the greatest of living Negroes. During the month of May most of the High Schools of the state will have their Annual Commencements. Every community, having a High School, should try to so impress the graduates with the proper ideas of life. That is to impress them with the fact that a life of education and culture means a life of service and usefulness. Don't inflate but inspire the young graduates. June will bring its commencements at different colleges and our youth will emerge from their doors brimful of enthusiasm. All will be eager to do great and dazzling deeds. It is hoped, however, that they will be also prepared to do some of the many little things that must be done, since it takes experience, study and adaptibility to do great things. Hence, only a few of the many are successful in doing the great things contemplated. To do little things, requires only patience, an eagerness to do something and a courage to act. All may have those attributes so well in hand that they may help the world and gain for themselves happiness. July will call together many representative bodies of Negroes Most prominent, among those of Missouri, will be the gathering of the Knights of Pythias at kansas City on the 24-28. Fully 400 delegates will be in attendance, counting Calantheans and members of the uniform department, that will be present. $200 in prize money will be offered the uniform department and there is a probability that this amount will be supplemented by $300 more. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis, in conference with Dr. J. Edward Perry, Professors D. N. Crosthwait, H. R. Graham and other leading spirits of Kansas City Pythianism have about consummated their plans for entertaining the Grand Lodge in a royal manner. This organization has a quarterly collection in its insurance department alone that exceeds $3000. Hence its deliberations will be noted with much interest.

The Western College The faculty desires to announce that the 'College' is striving to meet the growing educational needs of the present time, and to keep step with every advance in pedagogical progress. Knowing as we do, that all success in any shere of life depends upon careful training, with special reference to the would-be done, such efforts will be made to so liberalize the spirit and methods of the work attempted, as to meet every emergency. In keeping with the foregoing statement, we gladly announce the organization of our College Department, and the arranging of a Teachers' Professional Traning Course, covering one year's study. A summer school will be conducted in another also. This will afford an opportunity for teachers to secure certificate through the various grades, and for these desiring to do so, to take advance work in mathematics, language, the history, and philosophy of education, methods and laws of teaching, etc. The degree of Batchelor of Pedagogy will be conferred on those completing the Teachers' Professional Course, and an opportunity will be given teachers attending the summer sessions to do work toward securing this degree. When the work is covered, by teachers, they will be graduated. Instructors possessing especial qualification for the work in hand will conduct classes in the various branches. A series of popular lectures touching on the work of teaching and other issues will be given before the teachers in attendance.

A Great City and Its Events. Chicago, Ill., is situated on Lake Michigan. In size it is 24 miles long and 10 miles broad. Next to New York, it is the largest city of the New World. We get some idea of its rapid growth when we remember that it became a town as la e as 1833—just 72 years ago. It was chartered as a city in 1837. In 1871 it was nearly destroyed by fire, in which 200 lives were lost, 98,000 persons were rendered homeless and 17, 450 buildings were burned. It now has about 2,000,000 inhabitants: It is the greatest railroad centre in the world. We clip the following from the Commoner: According to the Ohio State Journal there is something doing in Chicago. The Journal says that a Chicago newspaper publishes the following interesting catalogue of events transpiring in the city by the lake: A death every fifteen minutes. A birth every eight minutes and twenty-eight seconds. A murder every seventy hours. A serious accident, necessitating nurse's or physician's care, every four minutes. A suicide every eighteen hours. A fatal accident every five hours. A case of assault and battery every twenty-six minutes. A burglary every three hours. A hold-up every six hours. A disturbance of the peace, to attract attention, every six seconds. A larceny every twenty minutes. An arrest ever seven minutes and thirty seconds. A fire every hour. An arrest for Drunkenness every fifteen minutes. A marriage every twenty minutes. A case for the coroner every three hours. A new building completed every one hour and fifteen minutes. Sixty passengers, surban and through, arrive every second at railway stations. Seventeen thousand gallons of water a minute pass through the 1900 miles of city water mains. A handful of common sense is worth a bushel of learning. Seek not to please the world but your own conscience. He that will not be counseled cannot be helped. What children hear at home soon flies abroad. Silks and satins put out the kitchen fire.
