UNJUST, SAY MEGRO TROOPS MEMBERS OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH MAY LOSE ACCUMULATED Many of the Older Men in the Battalion Accused of the Erowasville, Tax., Riots Have Served Nearly Thirty Years. ST. RENO, OK., Oct. 21.—The enlisted men of Companies B, C, and D, first battalion Twenty-fifth United States infantry, a Negro regiment, are standing pat in their refusal to give information that would disclose the identity of the soldiers responsible of the riot at Brownsville, Texas, Aug. 13. One civilian was shot and killed, and others wounded in the riot. It is believed that the guilty men are in the Fort Reno garrison or among those under arrest in Texas. The men in the companies are in great suspense, fearful that the ultimatum of Brigadier General E. A. Carlington, inspector general of the United States army to mister them out in dishonor unless the information is forth coming, will be enforced. long in the service that they have only a few years to serve in order to retire on three-fourths pay. Thirty years' service is necessary for this retirement. The question which these men are asking themselves is whether or not they are going to lose the result of these years of service on account of a few who know the men in the riots. The older men in the battalion say the order to dismiss them is unjust as they insist they know nothing of the trouble in Brownsville. They have no way to protect themselves, they say, and are innocent, both of the trouble in Boowsville and of hiding anything they know about it. Some of the men are sergeants and many of them would draw on an average $45 a month after retirement. GAVE THEM A LIMIT. General Garlinton paraded the three companies more than a week ago and read to them President Roosevelt's order, demanding the names of the guilty men. General Garlington said that he had authority to fix the time limit for the submission of evidence, and told the men that they would be given until 9 o'clock in the morning the following Monday. When the hour came General Gatlington had learned no more than we knew before he came to Fort Reno. He started for Washington last Monday afternoon. There is the best of authority for the statement that none of the men have come forward with any evidence against his companions in arms. A number of the more intelligent soldiers say that they do not believe the guilty men ever will be exposed. The men in the companies have given no trouble since they left Fort Brown, and previously were obedient. The fact that an order to muster out the companies did not issue immediately after 9 o'clock Monday is not accepted as evidence that General Garlington changed his mind. The men believe that the order is being prepared and anxiously waiting news from Washington. There are many men of good character, and long, creditible service in the companies who are believed not to know the names of those who took part in the Brownsville riot. The severity of the threatened punishment distresses them severely, but they are unable to protect themselves. Company A will start on a practice march next Tuesday. This company was not at Browns ville. Companies B, C, and D were to have gone on a march October 11, the day General Garlington's arrival. They are still in garrison, and are not permitted to leave the post, although a number succeeded in making night trips to Elreno between the hours of 6 and 11 o'clock. Two companies of white soldiers G and H, Thirteenth infantry, are here. The Negro soldiers here who bear reputations for good service are unwilling to approve the denial that any of their comrades were in the Brownsville riot. They insist, however, that a few men could have taken part in the affair, and this agrees with the opinions of army officers. The cartridge shells, clips, etc. found in the streets, and fragments of steal jackets from bullets found in buildings into which the rioters fired, prove that garrison ammunition was used. The firing occurred shortly after mid night close to the garrison fence. A roll call was ordered at once, (continued on page 4.) To Organize Pythian Cadets.

Hats @ Fur nishings E. E. JOHNSTON 207 OHIO STREET. Steps are being taken by James H. Wilson, William Hagwood of Lexington and other Negroes in the state to organize a Central Missouri Negro Fair Circuit. It is a sensible movement and we believe every Negro, who is interested in progressive agriculture, the breeding and rearing of blooded live stock, improved gardening, scientific fruit culture and skillful mechanics should ally themselves with this undertaking. Our farmers need visible encouragement. They also need much instruction. By the maintenance of a Negro fair circuit, all this and more will be accomplished. We urge your thoughtful Negroes to think this matter over carefully in order that you may help this worthy enterprise to get on its feet. While James H. Wilson, Lexington, Mo. what you think about the Get your neighbor interested at once. Lon V. Ware, the democratic nominee for county treasurer, is making an earnest and aggressive campaign for election. Having lived here for many years and having been an employee of the Citizens' National Bank for sometime, he is familiarly known among the colored men as a man of honest conviction, who believes in accordinggg to all men a square deal and giving them credit for their endeavors to be somebody. He will poll some of the colored vote, without a doubt. D. E. Kennedy is after the probate judgeship in dead earnest. He is an experienced lawyer, who has this county's interest at heart. He is a versatile, courteous and honorable citizen and will look after the people's interest if elected, with care and ability..... Pencer Hopkins of Hughesville represents the progressive farmer on the democratic county ticket. His friends have decided to make him county clerk and we believe he will make a good one if elected. No doubt is entertained as to his worthiness, because he is indorsed by such men as W. H. Powell, William Courtney and others, who represent the best type of Pettis county's enlightened citizenry. Colored citizens from Hughesville and thereabouts speak some very nice things about Mr. Hopkins. Brother W. H. Carter, editor of the St. Joseph Enterprise former editor and publisher of the late S. dalia Times, was kind enough to journey all the way from St. Joseph, Buchanan county, to Sedalia, Pettis county, to admonish, exhort, persuade and educate the Negroes of this county how to "vote 'er straight". He even neglected his large business establishment with many orders demanding attention to come down here to help save ourselves from total damnation. Brother Carter is so very unselfish that when he tells us to "vote 'er straight" on one page of his paper he urges us to lay aside feeling long enough to vote for Mr Johnston on the other side. We are gld that we agree on the one point. Brother Carter is a pretty busy man these days, since he is running the political machinery in both St. Joseph and Sedalia. If he had of been here Monday night probably, he could have given us the history of that "mysterious" leg. He is one Nergo that never did get any favor from any body except republicans. And he stands "a living monnment" of their "amazing generosity." Monday, throughout the day, there was a rumbling as loud and soothing as the sound of "many waters" in and about the streets. By placing our ear to the ground we ascertained its meaning to be that there was big doings on Main that evening at Republican Head quarters—The Young Men's Republican Club Rendezvous—Well to be plain, at the "den" of the puissant Marching Club. So sweet was the smooth ered sound that we were drawn. Aside from a high-classed program we shall have an educator of national reputation as the principal speaker of the weak. No progressive teacher can afford to miss such a rare treat. Those who have delayed sending subjects to Principal A R Chinn, Glasgow, Mo. should send them at their earliest opportunity. We wish to get out our programs early this year and can only do so when the teachers of the state cooperate with us. Discharge your full duty to the Association. Have your pupils begin now to prepare work for the exhibits. Let every teacher sending a subject be present and prepared at the time and place designated. Yours for success. E.W. EMORY, Cor Sealy.

Wilson of Lexington Mr. writes again concerning the organization of a Negro fair circuit in Central Missouri. We herewith submit his letter to us and friend to him from Prof. George H. Greene, principal of the Lexington High School. Dear Readers of the Conservator: I submitted an article to you through these columns several days ago upon the feasibility of organizing a Negro fair circuit in this state. Since then, I have had encouraging letters from several Negroes, who mean business. The following gentlemen have signified their willingness to take out 50 shares each at one dollar for their share. William Haywood, George Taylor, Albert Joseph. --- Lexington, W.H. Huston, Sedalia, J.W. Taylor, 2224 Washington Avenue, St. Louis and several others whose names I withhold. So greatly encouraged are we from perusal of these letters that we have thought it expedient to write this letter believing that some others might become interested. Just think of it! A Negro fair circuit means so much to the Negro farmers. It will give him an opportunity of exhibiting his choicest products from the soil, the hennery, the house, the barn and the pen, since there would be classes for saddle horse, cattle swine, poultry, mules, speed, fancy work, pastry and other entries. What do you think about the matter? What will you do? Let us get busy and organize during the Christmas holidays. If you have become interested, write me at once. I am yours for a Fair Circuit. PROF. GREEN'S LETTER Lexington, Mo., Oct. 21, 1906. Mr. Editor: The very timely suggestion of Mr. James Wilson, dated Sept. 23, 1906, has been read with much interest by me. I have been in favor of some kind of united effort to secure more and better fairs among my people, but I knew, so little about such things, that I have, been silent, Now Mr. Wilson who knows how such things are done, proposes a joint stock company with shares at $1, each. It seems to me that we ought to act at once. Act on this plan which I favor, or on a better, if any one knows a better. But above all let us do something and do it now. We have perfected our plans in order that we may deliver an address on the "Omnipotence of the Independent Voter," at the following places upon the appended dates: Houstonia — Monday, October 29, 8 p.m. Smithton — Wednesday, October 31, 8 p.m. Beaman—Thursday, November 1, 8 p.m. Georgetown—Friday, November 2, 8 p.m. All citizens, white and black, male and female, will be welcome auditors.

We give below the splendid results of the trial of the Smith's and oteers for peonage in Southeastern Missouri. Much is due to the vigor, and ability with which D P Dyer, United States district attorney, prosecuted the cases, Col Dyer is as true as steel, and seems determined to see to it that neither slavery nor involuntary servitude shall exist in Missouri. Our admiration goes out without stint to the genial, capable and sterling Colonel Dyer. Here is his record in the cases: Peonage Penalties Imposed Upon Seven Men By Uucle Sam. Charles M Smith, 42 months in prison, $5000 fine. Charles M Smith, jr., two years in prison, $5000 fine. Floyd Woods, 30 months in prison, $1000 fine. William Woods, two years in prison, $100 fine.

WILLIAMS and WALKER. NOV. 3rd The new musical oddity called "Abyssinia" which will be seen here at the SEDALIA THEATRE Saturday has been declared to be the best musical play on the New York stage this season. It is one long laugh from the rise of the curtain to the close of the piece. Williams & Walker the famous colored comedians whose reputation as the greatest funnies of the age has long been established on both sides of the Atlantic, will be seen in the best vehicle that they have so far had. The play will be presented under the management of Melville B, Raymond whose name is a guarantee of the best tqat money and brain can provide. One remarkable feature of this production is that it is entirely the work of colored people. The book and lyrics were written by Jesse Shipp and Alex. Rogers. The music was written by Will Marion Cook and the incidental music by Bert A Williams and James Vaughn. The piece was staged and rehearsed by Aida Overton Walker, wife of George Walker. The principle and all other members are colored. Mr Raymond, the manager, being the only white person identified with the enterprise In "Abyssinia" there are so ideas many that are new to the musical comedy stage as it is difficult to pick any one feature as the main feature. In the first place the country chosen by the authors for the locals of the play, "Abyssinia" is one that has so far escaped the pen of the play, right and one that is rich in store and legend and one that furthermore has occupied the thoughs of a nation for years, but about which little is known by the average person. The laws and customs, carefully studied by the authors who visited the country to get correct local color for their work, the newness of "Adversina" as a stage presentation, has also permitted the instruction of a racy novel songs, dances and business and furnished scenic artists with rich material. No one of the opportunities have been neglected, and the result is the best musical costumes and scenic as well as the funniest comic opera on the stage today. In any production in which WILLIAMS and WALKER are identified, it is natural that they should be the abstinent funnelling features. SHE'S on BALB Mend v. c. covenalty reserved for colored people.
