Sunday the commissioners visited the parks and many old Chicago acquaintances. In the evening at Quinn Chapel church, Rev. D. P. Robe-ts preached a special sermon in honor of the visitors, which was very much enjoyed by the citizens, commissioners and the members of the church. Monday the commission in carriages visited the Mayor and was by him welcomed to the city in all Chicago's glory. The post office was then visited and the distinguished visitors were received by postmaster Busse and shown through the entire building. Mr. Busse very gracefully accompanied the delegation through the underground tunnel and opened up a choice box of Clear Havanas as a mark of Chicago's hospitality.

The party occupied parlor "O," and were warmly received by Mr. Palmer, who bade them welcome, and asked them to enjoy the privileges of the house while in Chicago. In the evening, the commission repaired to the White City and were received at the gate by the management and welcomed. The delegation visited several amusements and enjoyed themselves hugely. Tuesday, the commission were given an automobile ride over forty miles of Chicago's Boulevards and dined in the afternoon at the restaurant in Lincoln Park. In the evening, a special program was rendered at the New Pekin Theatre, the only Theatre owned and operated by Colored people in the world. Over one thousand people were present at the performance and several hundred were turned away. The commissioners occupied special boxes, and the First Regiment uniform rank in white flannel uniforms attended in a body. Wednesday the commissioners were conducted through the stock yards visiting the Swift and Armour plants and spent the afternoon dining with the committee and their friends. In the evening special team degree work and the rank of Knight was conferred upon a class of candidates at Damon Lodge Hall, 37th and Cottage Grove avenue. Phythias Lodge's famous team conferred the rank and over five hundred Knights were present. Thursday the commission held their business session and in the afternoon were dined by Hon. E. D. Green at Rudolph's Cafe, Monroe and Dearborn streets., Chicago's richest and swellest place of its kind. In the evening, they were banquetted at the Coliseum Annex where more than three hundred of Chicago's best citizens were present. Friday the commission held an executive session and considered Indianapolis and Chicago's claims. The committee was in session the entire day and after four hours of solid and confined deliberation decided that Chicago had presented the best location, made the best offer, afforded all the possibilities necessary to sure success and was awarded the Temple with Indianapolis as second choice. The commissioners decided to spend Forty-five thousand dollars for the ground and the Temple will be built on one of the most prominent business corners of State Street, on the South side. The ground having been bought, the Supreme Lodge will now proceed to erect a Temple that will cost Seventy-five or a Hundred Thousand dollars. The Commissioners began leaving for their homes Saturday, voting Chicago the grandest and most hospitable city in the world. The best city won—Broad Ax. GIVE THEM A CALL.

DEPORTED THEMSELVES NICELY. Walter Williams Pays Negrees Compliment in Columbia Herald. The Columbia Herald of last Monday contained the following editorial: "You did not fail to notice of course that the Negroes who attended the grand lodges with the high sounding names were well behaved. They came and went quietly, with some sealf-sufficiency and some show. They were courteous, honest and peaceful. There are Negroes and Negroes. It is unjust to condemn all Negroes for the crimes of some of the race. The Negro is in this community to stay. He can be helped or hindered in his moral upbuilding by the treatment which he receives at the hands of the white people. Not sickly sentimentality or suggestion of an impossible social equality but the teaching of morality, sobriety, thrift, industry, is what the Negro race needs. Has the white population done its duty to the black population? That is a question which white men and white women could well ask themselves. Has the Negro really a soul? Sometimes it is doubtful whether Christian white people think he has a soul. At least the Negro's frequent treatment is such that it might be thought that he had none. If he lived in Africa it might be different. We wax indignant over the conditions in the Congo state but down on Flat Branch—that's a different matter. We are not concerned with the betterment of Negro life in Columbia—we are not running for office." CARD OF THANKS. We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to the many kind friends for their sympathy and assistance in our recent bereavement, the loss of our dear mother, Mrs Elizabeth Nelson. We also desire to thank the friends for their floral offerings. Mabelle Ramsey, Matilda Nelson, Jerry Nelson, Lee Nelson. Branch for Representatives Hon Glover Branch, of Lexington, has received the nomination for reelection to the legislature on the Republican ticket. Lafayette county Republicans have shown good sense. Mr Branch has a clean record behind him and he is a man who will stand by his convictions. All citizens, co-ored and white, know him and mean to elect him this fall with an increased majority. For these and other reasons the Conservator most cheerfully commends Mr Branch to the colored voters of Lafayette county. --- M. B. H. REV. F. S. BOWLES. A. B..

UNIONS SNUB A BROTHER. William Richardson, who is a member of the Blackfmiths' Union of this city, was ostracised by members of the different unions of this city on Labor Day. Some absolutely refused to march with him. Does this indicate that bor organizats have any love for us? If they have not should we have for them? It's time for us to be men who will get to gether and contend for our just rights. Mr Richardson is as honorable a citizen as any blacksmith in the State of Missouri. If they were not going to treat him as a man and brother, he should have been notified before having to suffer such humiliation as that accorded him on the hirtieth of last month. VERSAILLES.

Having devoted much time, labor and money toward the development of the Sedalia Weekly Conservator and having learned by experience, during the past four years, many Journalistic ideas that will be helpful to us in our future efforts to make the Conservator what we would have it be. We have concluded to make the following changes: DATE OF PUBLICATION Since we set our own type, it is often impossible for us to get to Press in time on Satursdays to mail the Conservator to her 1,500 readers on the same day. And if mailed Sunday, it will not reach its patrons before Monday. Therefore, we have concluded to change the date of publication from Saturday to Menday. We hope to handle our race news right down to date under this new modus operandi: OUR POLITICAL CREED--Heretofore we have supported republican candidates from president down to dog-catcher, without any reservations whatever. But from what we have gleaned by experience and observation, this policy is a little foolish, when there are some other conditions that should enter in the makeup of the equation. Some conditions we will set forth: If republican candidates will consider my people's interest to such an extent that we can see it without the use of a magnifying glass, they deserve our support without money and without price. But if they do not care for my people's interest, why should we care for theirs? Some republicans are our friends. We now it by our business, religious and daily relations with them. Others care nothing for us, except to call us "Bad Niggers," whenever we show a disposition to think and act as men. If a Negro scratches his ticket, he is a democrat, a fool, a knave, a grand rascal and every other unmanly thing imaginable. At least that is what some people presume to push down timid Negroes' throats. Why is a Negro, who chances to scratch his ticket such a reprobate, when it is known that the white man who does the same is called a gentleman. Our advice to all men, white and especially black, is for them to be men. If a man feels that he should rally to a known friend, no matter what his creed or politics may be, he should do so fearlessly with all his powers. It is a fact, easily established by a little investigation, that where the Negroes stand best politically is where they have stood by their friends. To do so, we know it often brings about splits and divisions among us. What if it does? Will we be better or worse off by such dissensions? Are all white men in one party? Do all red men belong to one creed? Have all yellow men the same systems of thought and actions? I may have we, should be clannish in our religions, moral as well as political ideas. No other people are an absolute unit on any public proposition, except the Negro. And we are proud to say that he is beginning to have sense enough to It you want a good picture, be sure to visit ROLLINS' STUDIO, 118 EAST MAIN STREET. ENLARGEMENTS of all sizes and styles a specialty, MAIL OrDErS Carefully and Promptly Looked After. N. B. When mailing Mail Orders, mention this paper. differ from his fellows without insulting them. We make these frank avowals because we are tired of men abusing othDUmen, because they presume to think once for themselves. Our Street Walking Statesmen- The season is open for the politician of every type, color and kind to begin his operations. He is brimful of knowledge and good deeds. No one is his enemy and he is everybody's friend—even a friend to black men, whom he hasn't had time to see, since the polls closed on the last election day. You will see him now surrounded by his retainers. All of whom are very important in thought, actions and words. Don't you dare to think differently from that brother or his bunch of friends, less you be counted among the eternally damned. Is he right? How could he be otherwise, while so many charges of that wonderful quintescence of booze is beneath his skin? Are there any questions of state craft you would have discussed? Consult him about Municipal Ownership, Sanitation, Goo Roads, Trust Annihilation, Coinage, Tariff, Railroad Rates, Injunctions or anything and he can elucidate them like one, two three between Mint Julips and Lemp's Extra Pales. Oh, but our street walking statesmen are wise! On vote getting in and giving out gratis they are omnipotent. Hear their discourse on the valorous deeds done in "ye olden times" by "ME." Are they all black in color? Not on your life. Many lives are represented from the "Lily whites" to the "Ebony blacks." Do they read the papers? Yes, whenever they can beg or borrow one. In fact: they are too busy dispensing of the news they have been dreaming about to devote much time to reading. Then to every mother's son of them is an orator that moves things. Haven't you heard them thunder out the truths as no man ever spoke it before? Let them harangue you on the diversity of "Graft." All of them have oily and eely tongues that feareth not the truth, since they rarely come in touch with it. Our walking statesmen, how we admire your bravery in defending our rights upon the corners of the streets, over the bars of the saloons and in the halls of Demosthenian eloquence! How fortunate is the town that boasteth of your presence! Monuments should be raised to perpetuate your singing memories. Selfish ingrates whom you have elected to office should begin even now to reciprocate with you for your all important and indispensable services. Of all the good things we admire you for, none exceeds our admiration for your very great and unselfish modesty. Unto this virtue we are almost persuaded to call upon the muses to sing thy praises in limpid versification. Too modest to even look at a Fiver, when it comes thy way, lest thy palm should itch for more. We love thee. All candidates of all parties love thy presence best, when it is once vacated. We dread thy absence because we know that thou wilt soon appear with still greater wounds to be healed. Fight on brave statesmen. Perambulate the streets of this city. Display thy eloquence upon every platform. Shoulder the responsibilities of this great community. Turn the rascals, who do not think as you would have them, out into the cold, cold world. Hesitate not to vent thy spleen, whenever the spirits, that thou hast invited within thee, urgeth thee on. Your rewards are daily accumulating and in that great getting up morning, the ones that thou hast "hollered" so much for will be happily smoking his ten "centers;" while they will say unto thee, "Depart into the outer darkness" of hard work and keep very busy.

Mr Olendorf as manager of this playhouse deserves the thanks of Sedalia Negroes for the excellent courtesies shown them this season. It was a noticeable fact that our people behaved themselves most excellently at both shows recently presented at that house. Give us an opportunity and we will show the community that we are rapidly becoming cultured. OFFICE HOURS: 9 to 11 a. m., 3 to 5 & 7 to 9 p. m. J. D, BALL, M. D., LEXINGTON, : : MO. STATE FAIR CONTEST. Encouragement to Young Farmers. The Missouri State Fair, in addition to prizes aggregating $1000 offered for the best agricultural displays from the various sections of the state, will offer premiums on the best display of yellow corn and also on best display of white corn grown by young men over fifteen and under twenty years, and like premiums on white and yellow corn grown by boys under fifteen years. This corn may also be entered for the general prize in competition with corn grown anywhere and by anyone. It is also eligible to entry at the Corn show, to be held at Columbia in December under the auspices of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture. 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. FARMINGTON. The mid-summer social given for the young people at the residence of P M Cayse and wife Friday evening, was an enjoyable affair. H B Katts led the singing. The male voices were clear and entertaining. The picnic given at Clardy's grove by the members of the A M E church, was quite a success financially. The number from other towns was quite surprising. Rev Smith and his committee are to be commended for their strenuous efforts. ```markdown ``` --- High Grade Portraits. PRICE LIST:— In Oil, from Life, $40 up.

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 based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's 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. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman. P. O.

You Will Prosper in the great growing Southwest If you purchase a farm in the Southwest now, while the land is cheap, you will soon see grow up around you a community of prosperous, energetic men, who, like yourself, have seen the possibilities of the Southwest, and have taken advantage of them. This very condition, which is rapidly forming all over the Southwest, is making the value of land increase rapidly, to the certain profit of those who own it. There are more and better opportunities for making money—for home building, in the Southwest—a long the line of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas By today, than anywhere else. You have only to get on the ground to prove this. If you are in any way interested in the Southwest, write today for a copy of my new paper "The Coming Country." Go Southwest Now Take advantage of the exceptionally low homeseeker's rates, September 18th and October 2nd and 16th, and go and see the country for yourself. On above dates most lines will sell round trip tickets via M., K. & T. R'y at not more than one fare plus $2.00; in many cases—from Chicago to San Antonio, e. g., the rate is $25.00, from St. Paul, 27.50, from St. Louis and Kansas City, $20.00—the rates are considerably lower. The tickets permit of stopovers in both directions via M., K. & T. R'y. If your nearest railroad agent cannot give you the rates, write me for particulars. W. S. ST.
