LEONARD WHITE REFUSED DIVORCE Had Asked for Divorce Alleging Adultery—Creates Sensation Because of the Prominence of Principals OCCUPIES TWO DAYS IN CIRCUIT COURT. Mrs. White Files Cross Bill Alleging Cruelty and Asking for Divorce—Able Counsel on both Sides The divorce case of Leonard White against his wife, Anna L White, filed in the Circuit Court last fall was tried this week, occupying Monday and Tuesday on the Circuit Court calendar. The case created quite a sensation, as do all cases of this kind. Witnesses for White attempted to prove that Mrs. White was an adulterer. Mrs. White filed a cross bill, denying all the material allegations set forth by White and asking that she be divorced from White on the grounds of repeated cruelty. White was represented by St. John Wines, an able young lawyer who spoke ably for his client for 2 hours, while Selby and Gibb two legal luminaries. Mr. Selby's argument was strong and unimpeachable. Mr. Gibbs was at times sarcastic and hurled forth strong invectives at White. Mr. Wines closed for White. The jury decided that Mrs. White was not guilty, that White was guilty of extreme cruelty, and that neither be granted a divorce. East End Notes WILL BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEXT ISSUE.

Several "live men" are mentioned as probable candidates. Mr. Hay has made a good representative but there are others. The Divorce Evil. The divorce evil is raging among colored people here of late to an alarming extent. Last week 4 colored persons made application for separation. What is the cause? Give this question careful consideration and do not be so quick to apply for a divorce. It is a mistaken idea. Help Liberia. We learn with joy that Taft and Secy. Knox favor loaning Liberia $1500000 which is an adequate sum to clear the little negro republic of her pressing debts due to foreign subjects. This sum, if received, will $200,000 in access of Liberias indebtedness and will give her a nice little sum in the treasury to work with. Good Conduct on The Streets and in Public Places Good Conduct on The Streets and in Public Places We feel our bounden duty to admonish the young people in particular and all people in general, against bad conduct on the streets and in public places. Good conduct and good manners are cheap and yet the most valuable asset one can possess. Time and again we have entreat ed colored people to conduct themselves in such a manner as to get the good comments instead of the bad ones. Remember where you are and do not overlook the fact that there are other people on the car and on the streets besides yourself; also remember that people are judging you and the rage by your conduct. You are only a sample. Please try to be a good one; but this training should begin at home. --- Ex-Congressman G. W. Murray. Ex Congressman Murry, of S. Carolina, is making a tour thru this state, lecturing on "Race Ideals." We are sorry to report that he had a very small audience here and are inclined to believe that the small crowd was due to the fact that there was no advertisement of the man, who he is or what he has done, not even where he was to speak. It is high time that we learn the value of advertisement. The old ante bellum method of passing the news around by mouth is not sufficient. Everything should be liberally advertised. The church that advertises—is not too stingy to pay out a few cents for publicity—is always the most prosperous and flourishing church. Co operate. To better our condition in Springfield in the commercial line should interest every colored citizen. How can it be done? This is the first question asked. In answer to said question we say: Co-operation and the patronage of colored enterprises and the establishment of more businesses In the first place colored people must learn how to conduct businesses. It takes a business to run a business. He must study his business,study the people and be energetic, polite and prompt. The Negro Business League should meet regularly and every Negro business eligible should be affiliated. Let us do this now. Other cities in the South are reaping harvests from their field of co-operated thought and business integrity and study. Why not have a drug store here? Some talk of one has been heard for over two years, but we want doers. We need men of action, not dreamers and planners Can we have a drug store, and at least one decent and convenient boarding house or hotel? We are asleep along these lines and must be awakened and pushed off into activity. Business men, professional men, clergy, laborer, all unite and make things come to pass—time is at hand.

The City Council passed an ordinance Monday night legalizing saloons and now the people shall have their desire, which they voted for on April 5th. There was not a man in the whole of Decatur who had the nerve to enforce the law as Chief Bendure, and now the drys are not satisfied with him. At one time he received praise from the dry force and now it is just the reverse. This goes to show that they are a bunch of political cranks, and know not what they want. Some people in Chicago will find that there are negroes in the down state that are capable of managing their own affairs. Why should Chicago rule? See that you get your part in the Grand Lodge K. of P in Peoria next week. The fight is on. Do not fail to hear the Slaughter Brothers Quartette Tuesday evening at Travers Hall. Monte of Chicago will also sing several selections. Do not miss a rare treat. Nathaniel Rogan left Sunday for Buxton, Iowa where he will study the drug business. His brother Robert accompanied him and will visit there for a week or more. Miss Corinne Banton returned from a two week's visit to different parts of Ohio Sunday. While gone she attended commencement exercises at Wilberforce University. C. L. Watkins is one of the greatest Sunday School workers that Illinois affords. He is greatly responsible for the success of St. Peter's Sunday School. The first year he was Superintendent he brought the school to the front and captured the banner of the Springfield District. Ex-Congressman Murry delivered a fine lecture on "Race Ideals" Wednesday evening at St. Peter's. The A.M.E. church held quarterly meeting last Sunday, Dr. E. T. Cottman, P. E., preached both morning and evening sermons. During the quarter the church raised $984.74 and the money was raised practically without entertainment, which speaks well for Reverend. Morrow and the church. The Household of Ruth gave a fine musical entertainment last Tuesday at Travers Hall. A nice sum was realized for the benefit of the order. Do not fail to attend the grand entertainment given by the True Reformers at Traver's Hall, 124 E Wood street, Tuesday evening July 5. The District Conference wants to know what kind of man Rev. Morrow is, who went to the district conference and Sunday School convention and captured all the laurels with his delegation and brought the S.S. banner to Decatur, which tells the world that St Peter's has the best Sunday school in the district. Rev. J. W. Woodford was elected Dis- Edited By H. A. Watkins. trict Supt; Miss Sylva Lawrence, Primary Dist. Supt.; C. L. Watkins, Supt. of the Normal Dept., and Rev. Morrow was elected reporter for both of the A. M. E. papers, all from St.Peter's. Rev Morrow will organize a circuit after his 5 years are up, this means 5 more and no one else need apply.

Johnson- Jeffries Fight to Come Off For over 10 months the people and the newspapers have been discussing the Johnson Jeffries fight and pugilistie futurity has been the ali-absorbing topic of the day regardless of the snow, ice, rain and the high price of foods, yea, even regardless of Halleys comet and the legislative bribery scandal, The governor of California quarantined them from his state, but the governor of Nevada left his state’s doors ajar.
