Dear Brethren and members of the Sedalia District Conference of the Central Missouri Annual Conference: In compliance with the Discipline I herewith submit to you the following report concerning the condition of the work and my own labors during the past six months. Conditions of the work in general over the entire district is in my estimation in a prosperous condition. While all the things connected with our work in the several charges are not up to where we wish, yet there is a manifest desire shown upon the part of many of our people, both with the ministers and laymen, to peritom well the work and to and to advance the church interest in every department. Peace and harmony with pastors and presiding elder prevail all along the line. Our work during the year has been pleasant; our quarterly conferences and meetings have been a constant source of joy and brotherly love. All the ministers have gone to their different fields of labor, seemingly in a very cheerful and pleasing manner, which means much for the success of both pastor and people. At Wellington we have been confronted with some dissatisfaction by some of the members in regard to the appointments. It is the only place in the district where we have had anything unpleasant to deal with in our quarterly conference or meetings, but things are now in better condition, and the outlook at the Second quarterly meeting was that all things would soon be working together for good. The territory over which the Sedalia district extends is a most excellent country. Times are prosperous in all lines of trades and business, and those who have a desire to have some of the material things of this world, can do so if they possess the spirit of Handy R WILLIAM DIG Regular Meals and Hot Lun to give complete satisf HOT FISH, FRIED AND FRI Pops of all flavors, Iront Regular Meals and Hot Lunches, at all hours, guaranteed to give complete satisfaction, or money refunded.

We have in the Sedalia district some very enthusiastic church workers among the laity. The great majority of the lay members seem to be willing and ready to perform their duties in every way in which they are called upon by the church to do. All our preachers are loyal, and they seem to be determined under all circumstances to keep the interest of the church at heart. At Springfield our church has been under a cloud of despondency, due to the recent riot and mob violence here which occurred here April 14, resulting in lynching and burning three colored men. This has caused quite an exodus among some of our most faithful members in this charge. The pastor has been untiring in his efforts to encourage and console his people in these hours of depression. But at this time brighter prospects are in sight for Pitts Chapel. Our benevolences are being gradually collected. Some are doing better in raising these collections than others. Notwithstanding I have been pleading earnestly and diligently with all the brethren both through the church papers and by personal letters, in regard to to the raising of these benevolences, as, indeed, they are very important to the success of the church work. I have gone over the district twice this year, with a few exceptions. Nearly every charge has had some increase in membership. Several conversions have occurred during the quarterly meetings. Several children have been baptised and some adults during these meetings. Some of our Sunday schools, in the district have increased both in number and interest. Others are not doing quite so well, but whenever the pastors and members manifest a deep interest in the Sunday schools, most invariably success is achieved. In some of the charges it seems that it is absolutely impossible to organize and maintain the Epworth and Junior Leagues in our church work, which is indeed a restaurant, CIGGS, Proprietor,anches, at all hours, guaranteedaction, or money refunded.

In a few of our charges we are glad to know that the Epworth Leagues are doing some good work, not very many have what the church calls a thoroughly equipped League with all of its forces that work, but some are striving to place their League on the very best basis that can possibly be placed and maintained. * Dear Brethren and Officers, may we all put our unremitting efforts together in helping to have success in these important auxiliaries of our great Methodism. I have labored earnestly for the betterment of all the people with whom I have come in contact. I have tried as best I could to be helpful to all the pastors in every way, as I visited the quarterly conferences and meetings from time to time. It is my earnest desire to do all I can in aiding every charge where by success may crown the labors of pastors and people in spreading the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in the world among men. Our work is a great work, brethren. A minister's calling is of great importance. If one wishes the most complete self-development tae ministerial life beyond any other earthly sphere, will permit the all round development of his nature and the free expansion of his powers and will foster his utmost possible growth in greatness and in goodness. There is no reason to be discouraged, no matter what and where you are, we can all make something out of ourselves and can find something worth while doing. Each one of us has infinite possibilities and by faith and work untiring they will be realized. If faithful, breihren, the minister will dwell in honor all his days wherever he lives and works. He will be accorded a clear title to esteem and reverence. In every community the true ambassador of Christ is clothed upon with public respect as with a robe of honor. He is looked to as an exemplary teacher and leader, his advice is sought and his words listened to. Men confide to him their most sacred affairs and they seek him as a wise and a safe counsellor.

In presenting these well known Comedians and Composers of Negro Melodies, Manager Melville B. Raymond has opened an entirely new field to the colored performers. Hitherto the satirizing of the current Fads and Fancies has been the special perquisite of the white artist, but in their latest offering, "The Shoo-Fly Regiment," Cole and Johnson have boldly entered the arena of legitimate musical farce comedy. As Hoyt satirized the short-comings and absurdities of our white Militia, in the "Milk White Flag" etc., so the authors exhibit the inside workings of a colored military company.

Cole will be seen in a "built up" edition of his famous tramp creation and Johnson will be a dandy young officer of the regiment. Tom Browu will have a congenial part and Sam Lucas, Bob Kelly and Andrew Tribble are well cast. Foremost in the female contingent is Siren Navaro, the greatest ballet dancer of her race and the only Afro-American toe dancer in the world, Anna Cook, Inez Cough, Mollie Dill, Elizabeth Williams, with a chorus of 40, which is one of the greatest features and constitute what is undoubtedly the best singing and dancing organization ever known in Musical Comedy. The locals of the play, the Sunny South and our Island possessions, the Philippines, give great opportunity for scenic and costumes display, which has been taken every advantage of by the management. As the name would suggest, the play, for it has a real plot, deals with military life in general and with an aristocratic colored regi- GIVE THEM A CALL.

Negroes have begun to look at politics with a business eye. They are becoming tited of supporting peopte for a mere chance to “holler” themselves hoarse. If Negroes are to climb the trees and help te thrash the chestouts, it seemeth reasonable to us that they might help to eat a few of the little ones when they de. scend to the ground. To be frank about the matter under discus- sion, many Negroes have arrived at this sensible conclusion: If they are not to have any of the chestnuts they help to shake, they will not itcar their clothes, scratch their hands and hurt their feelings in thrashing them for thankless ingrates to subsist upon. White men are notin politics for a visionary sentiment, They enter it for waat isin it. There must be something, social ofiicial, financial, commercial, educational or remumerative in it for him or he will stick to his business. We mean to do the same, Generally, whenever Negroes make a stand for a square deal, some fellow will say they are democrats, Such is untrue, We do less scratching than any other clement of the party. As to whether it has been to our advantage, seems to be without proofs. Usually, they, who give the party the best service, receive the least consideration. Negro-Americans throughout the land are loud in their cries fora ‘square deal.” Sense instead of sentiment will rule him politically. Keep Qur Schoolrocms Well Filled. Within the nest three weeks, all of the principal schools of this state will have opened, Parents should see that every child of school age is matriculated the first day of the term, Everyday thereafter should find them at their desk, unless prevented by serious circume stances, It is aot necessary for so many of our children to be Tunning the streets: Ample provisions are being made by the state Jof Missouri to educate her children, both white and black. ‘Phere are a few places in this County, where hoards of education ‘are averse to letting the Negroes have a school. But, thanks to the ‘manhood, of the black men in those localities, for the manly fight ‘they are making for their children, Justice to the state, County, [district and to the individual citizen, white and black, demands an educational opportunity for these Negro children, Some additions should be made to the Johnstoa Compulsory |School Attendance law that would make it obligatory on the part of }communities, having a sufficient number of Negroes, to provide schools for them without so much unnecessary contention. Mr, Johnston, if elected, we believe would devote some time toward maning this feature of the law, fathcred by him, operative tor the Negro’s advantage, Lincoln School, this city, should have anincreascd enrollment this year, Her rooms should be kept so full that it would be ab- solutely necessary to increase the membership of its faculty, which has been too small for several years, By keeping the attendance up there this season, there would be no grounds for dodging the prop- osition to employ more teachers, St. Louis District Woman's Home Missionary Meeting.

For more than a third of a century she has lived in this city, helping to develop the religious, social, moral, and educational life of our Negro youth. Her char acter was pure and ennobling. In deed she had lived such an exem play litre that there are not any remarks of her stay here other than those that bless her memory. In whatever circles she mingled, her advice was sought in order that it might be followed. Taylor Chapel has a vacant pew that will never be filled by one who can surpass in earnest labor and tireless devotion to duty. The late lamented, as mother, adviser, companion, friend and neighbor, she was beloved by all who came in touch with her. She leaves a family of children whose lives are models of sobriety and courteous usefulness. Neither friends nor relatives need shed any tears because her destiny is to dwell evermore with the Lord's Anointed. -W. H. H. Notice of Administrator de bonis non.

The management of the State Fair recognizes the fact that the farmer boys of Missouri will soon be in charge of the great agricultural and live stock interests of the state; that the yield of agricultural products from our fertile farms will, to an extent be measured by the agricultural information collected by the boy of today, and the skill and intelligence with which he applies it. For these reasons the Board of Directors would be pleased to see farmers encourage their sons to enter this contest, and to aid in stimulating a deeper interest in agriculture in the young men that the future may bring forth the best results.

BROOKS, Artist, 1512 North Fifth Street, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS TO REPUBLICANS We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican congress. The Congressional campaign must be bssed on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelts personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the committee. Help us achieve a great victory. JAS S SHERMAN. Chmn. P O Box 2063, N Y.

Attest: C W DAUGHERTY, Circuit Clerk. A true copy from the Record. By H E CARPENTER. Deputy Clerk. G PHILLIPS, Plaintiff'r Atty. The New State of Oklahoma Bigger than Missouri: as big as Ohio and Indiana combined, with a soil teeming with all the crops that any state raises, OKLAHOMA—the new state—is destined to occupy first rank in a few short years. Here at the present time over a million people are duplicating the life which is going on in Illinois and Indiana. Their houses; their towns and their schools are newer but in nothing else do their surroundings differ from those in other states. Their cities and towns are growing and expanding with the impetus of a fertile soil, and a pushing, wide awake citizenship. Her settlers, mainly from the older states, see the virtue of encouraging enterprises of every kind and the need fulness of getting more and better facilities; of getting more hands to develop the country. In brief, conditions today are simply these: OKLAHOMA is in need of nothing save people. More men are needed in the towns; and more farmers for the vast areas of unimproved land not now yielding crops of which it is capable. There are openings of all sorts for for farmers and artizans, for mills and manufacturing plants, for small stores of all kinds. YOUR OPPOTUNITY NOW The opportune time is now while the land is cheap. The country is fast settling up. If you purchase land now, you will soon see grow up around you a community of prosperous energetic men who like yourself have seen the brighter possibilities of OKLA-HOMA and have taken advantage On the First and Third Tuesdays of each month you can make a trip to OKLAHOMA exceptionally cheap. Round trip tickets good thirty—30—days will be sold by all lines in connection with the M. K. & T. Ry. at very low rates. From Chicago to Oklithoma City the rate is $24.55; from St Paul $26.25; from St Louis, $18.30; from Kansas City, $12.25. The tickets permit stop overs in both directions via M K & T Ry.
