Madson, alias Grant S. Neal, Formerly an Agent for the Freedman Journal. Madson, white in Louisiana, in 1902, had the confidence of Mr. Charles Covington and other leading citizens, and from these men he realized not less than two hundred and fifty dollars. He sent only a part of this money to The Freedman office. He is of a brown skin, well educated, a good talker—about 5 feet 9 inches tall. He has a rather careless walk, and when sitting talking he delights in laying his hand on you. There will be a corner stone laying under the auspices of the most worshipful grand lodge of Missouri, at 5323 Patterson avenue. Meet at 18 South Tenth street, Sunday, July 30, at 12:30 sharp. All master Masons are requested. By order of J. G. STEVENS, D. D. G. M. Don't forget the orphans' annual moonlight excursion. See ad. on another page in this issue. LYONS OPEN ALL NIGHT. LYONS' CAFE.

Special Notice. NEGRO BUYS HOUSE. Colored Politician Causes a Stir in Topeka Society Circles. Topeka, Kas., July 20.—Nicholas Chiles, a Negro politician here, has created a stir in Topeka society circles by purchasing for his home a house across the street from the governor's mansion, and in the heart of the exclusive residence section of Topeka. Chiles lived for a number of years on the east side of the city, where he ran a hotel, and while there he was arrested two or three times charged with selling liquor illegally. Recently Chiles rented, through an agent, a house on Topeka avenue, one of the fashionable residence streets, and his presence there has caused trouble. In his new place of residence he will be directly across the street from several of the people who are prominent in local society circles. "The white codfish aristocracy," said Chiles to-day, in speaking of his new home, "caused me trouble on Topeka avenue so I decided to move out alongside of the governor and get right into society. I guess me and the governor won't have no trouble. We have been pretty friendly, and I am willing to try to get along with him as a neighbor." Mr. Edward Green, formerly a resident of St. Louis, is now spending a few days with his old friends for recreation. He is stopping with Mrs. Alice B. Thompson, 2604 Pine street. Mr. Charles H. Turnley and Miss Buelach Ellis were married last Friday. They will reside with Mrs. Humphrey, of 2630 Lawton avenue.

E. church, Sunday. Presiding Elder Barksdale preached morning and evening. Rev. Clark preached an excellent sermon at 3 o'clock, also Rev. Morse, and quite a number of his members were up attending communion services which we think was grand. It shows a spirit of union. We are coming if we don't get there. Quite a number of people went to Higginsville, Saturday, to attend a picnic of the Knights of Labor, also at night there was a drill contest between them and Kansas City. The union band of Lexington furnished the music for the occasion. Mr. Henry Nolan died Sunday evening at his nephew's house, Mr. Trape Maty. He leaves quite a number of relatives to mourn his loss. Mr. William Thirkles and Mrs. F. E. Hayden will leave Monday for Louisiana, Mo., to attend the grand session of the Knights of Tabor. Mr. A. W. Walker will leave Monday morning for Macon City to attend the grand lodge of the K. of P.'s. Miss Glover Hawkins left Sunday evening for Independence, on a visit for several weeks. Rev.

Anthony, of Arkansas, Was Attending Baptist Congress. Little Rock, Ark. July 15.—Dr. Homer L. Anthony, whose death by accident in London, England, is reported by cable to-day, was a citizen of Portland, Ashley county. He was about 72 years old and had only recently retired from active practice as a physician. He departed about May 31 for Europe, primarily to attend the Baptist Congress in London. He is survived by no immediate relatives in Ashley county. He had lived in that county thirty years. Nicely furnished rooms for rent, with board, 3004 Lawton avenue. Call.

TO THE PUBLIC AND OUR AGENTS. Read, Then Canvas—Send In Your Subscriptions. It shows bad taste in an agent to tell us what a pattern sheet is sold for. We wish to say that the Palladium is not to be compared with any Negro paper in the west. We place the paper before the public as a Negro journal that has the news of the race. We are not in any way noted as a paper that caters to the whims of the public. Newspapers mold sentiment, and we are mainly enough to stand up against wrong in every shape, whether the public caters to it or not. We glory in one fact—that in our existence we have never missed an issue. We have taken a stand to do and say whatever we please, always being guarded by the principle of right, and to attack a scoundrel or a villain, we care not how high he stands nor with what church he is connected. The Palladium is sold for 5 cents a copy, or 20 cents per month, or $2 per year. If the agent can not show the public the difference between a newspaper and a pattern sheet, then he should not attempt to be an agent. God give us men who are willing to work and do the right thing in the right time. On the Grand Officers of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. by Rufus Logan, Better Known as Petticoat Logan. We noticed an article in a little pattern sheet called the Professional World, which claims to be the official organ of the order of U. B. F. and S. M. T., publish the most disgraceful article about the officers of the order. If a lodge can hold such an unworthy man in its lodge, then that lodge is not loyal to the Grand Lodge. This man, Logan, better known as Petticoat Logan, is nothing more than a tool in a white man's hands. We published an article some months ago about this interloper, who goes around like a senator with gum shoes on, and when he appears in a school room all the teachers are, or ought to be, nervous, because he is looking for the scalps of some one of the teachers. He claims to be the editor of the Professional World, but no man can edit a paper who is known to be a hindrance to the public good. How in the world can a man claim to be the official organ of an order, and the first issue that appeared before the order contained a criticism of the same? So far as the Palladium is concerned about any paper, its object is to do right and be an honor to the race that it represents. If this man should get to the Grand Lodge, the members of the order should point him out as "there is the man that is a terror to teachers." NEGRO SOLDIERS IN CAMP. Springfield, Ill., July 15.—Col. John H. Marshall, with his regiment of Negro troops, invaded Lincoln this morning for a week's tour of duty, succeeding the Seventh regiment. The heat was intense to-day, but the Negro soldiers withstood the fiery rays remarkably well. The regiment had no sooner become enconced in the camp than Col. Marshall notified the officers of the various companies that the week would be devoted to strenuous duty. He also issued an order that the men are to remain in camp and that few will be allowed to go down into the city. Those who are allowed to leave camp will be the men who are to transact necessary business. $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. W. H. Pride. JOHN H. HARRIS table," and D. B. P. A PLEASANT OUTING BASKET MEETING AND EXCURSION By ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH To DeSOTO, MO., Sunday, Aug. 6, 1905. W. D. COOK, D. D., Pastor. W. E. OSBORN, Secretary. Ticket Agents--W. E. Osborn, E. Dinsmore, Wm. McVey. Among the progressive and reliable business Colored men of St. Louis is W. H. Pride. He is collector and solicitor for the grocery business of George Pfennig, who conducts one of the finest businesses of the kind in the west end, at 5241 Delmar avenue. Mr. Pride's duties bring him in contact with the best people of St. Louis. Mr. George Pfennig speaks highly of the trustworthy qualities and business tact displayed by Mr. Pride in the discharge of his duties. Besides the work for the grocery, Mr. Pride engages a man to drive his market wagon, which is filled with the choicest and freshest groceries, and by this means he supplies his customers with the finest vegetables plucked fresh from his own garden every morning. He has $2\frac{1}{4}$ acres in cultivation with garden produce, and his market wagon bears the truthful inscriptions, "From the Garden to the Table," and the "Best Quality." His vegetables are first-hand, and delivered direct to his customers. His district includes King's highway to Hamilton avenue, and from Portland place, including Westmoreland place, Kingsbury, Washington terrace to Vernon avenue, and hence he proudly claims that the very best people are among his customers. He is a prominent member of the Union Memorial M. E. church, also of the Y. M. C. A., and was at one time president of the Epworth League, which flourished under his administration. He has many kind words and thanks for the housemaids, cooks, chefs, porters, etc., who continue to patronize him in the district through which he sends his market wagon. Mr. Pride has established himself in the esteem of good men, and is doing a good business as the result of attention, industry and fair dealing. 1 THE ONLY FIRST-CLASS DRESSMAKER In St. Louis with store and general seamstress.

Let some of our subscribers read and wonder. We hope this will get you to see clear: 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearage is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest anyone for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft, etc. NOTICE. News comes to us again of our former agent, M. J. Madson, that he obtained more than 20 subscribers in Moberly, including the postmaster; also in Mexico, and likewise in Rolla. All who send us their names, or evidence that they subscribed for the paper, we will send the same. So far we have counted 50 subscribers this agent has obtained, and not one dollar has been returned. Mark what we say, as soon as Chief Desmond returns home, he (Madson) will be arrested and brought to St. Louis. Mark the prediction of The Palladium. Warning. When you go to the drug store to buy a bottle of Ozonized Ox Marrow be sure that you get the "Ozonized." See that "Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., Chicago, U. S. A." is printed on the package. Remember that the "Ozonized" it put up only in fifty-cent size and is made only in Chicago and by us. We have no branch offices. Refuse all substitutes. The Ozonized Ox Marrow never fails to straighten kinky hair. For further particulars, see advertisement, "Wonderful Discovery," in this paper. Announcement. The Palace bathhouse will from now on be under the management of Will Tonsall, formerly manager of the Newport hotel, and one of our well-known young men, who will endeavor to please his friends, both ladies and gentlemen, as he has an apartment for ladies, also a lady attendant, the partnership between Lewis & Tonsall having been dissolved. Charles Tonsall proprietor. Will Tonsall, manager. Great Western Excursion. The Great Western club will give a grand river excursion on the steamer Corwin H. Spencer, Monday evening. July 10.

Cash, vice president; John B. Vashon, secretary; Wm. D. Flowers, treasurer; Jas. W. Grant, general manager. An Enterprising Firm.

WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri.

EASY RIDING, STRONG, DURABLE, SELF HEALING FULLY COVERED by PATENTS BEWARE OF IMITATIONS The Best Missouri News LOTTERY SCHEDULE IN FOUR. W. A. Inskee, a former member of the board of education of Columbus, was taken into custody by the police pending an investigation of a lottery scheme unearthed by a raid on an old building. A complete outfit for printing lottery tickets, a large number of printed tickets and accounts and correspondence relating to the San Luis loan and investment company were found on the third floor of the building. The lottery company had agents in many cities throughout the west, and the police say the accounts show a business of at least $2,000 a month was transacted. Inskee denies his guilt. Missouri Railroads Cited The board of railroad and warehouse commissioners mailed out citations to representatives of each of the railroads in the state and the transportation committee of the Merchants' exchange, of St. Louis, citing them to appear before the board of its St. Louis office in the Equitable building, August 4, at 10 oclock a.m., where the complaint of the Merchants' exchange, alleging exorbitant switching charges by railroad companies, and also the further allegation that the board's recent order which provided for one free switch, is being violated by the companies, will be heard. Adjourns the Criminal Court. Judge John W. Wofford has adjourned the criminal court at Kansas City until August 28. Judge Wofford left for Denver, where he will spend much of the time between now and that date resting. He will visit a number of health and summer resorts in that part of the country before returning to Kansas City, but Denver will be the principal point. Judge Wofford has been ordered by his physicians to quit work and leave the city for this rest. He has been in bad health for some months. A Missouri "Scotty." Oscar Barter, a miner employed in the Dead Horse mine near Joplin, has an ambition similar to that which possessed "Scotty." of Death valley, recently. He wants to break the trolley car speed record. Barter recently learned that his aunt had willed him $12,000. He announced that he will treat his friends to a record-breaking ride from Carthage to Galena, Kan., chartering a special car. Barter has set aside $2,000 for the celebration. To Build $1,000,000 Cathedral To Build $1,000,000 Cathedral. To gather ideas for the building of the new $1,000,000 cathedral in St. Louis, Archbishop J. J. Glennon has departed for New York, where he will sail for Europe about August 1. He will visit his home in Ireland, to which he returns for the first time in 20 years, which he left as a clerical student, returning to St. Louis in September. Slept in the Hayfield. A young man named Weir chose a hayfield south of Chillicothe as a good place to sleep and made his bed in the tall uncut timothy. The thrifty farmer who owns the place started his mowing machine at 3 o'clock and ran the machine over Weir. Weir's left thumb was cut off and his left arm mangleled by the knives. Bank Receiver Discharged. On motion of the attorneys for the People's United States bank of Sr. Louis, Judge McElhinney, of the St. Louis county circuit court, dissolved the receivership for that institution and discharged Receiver Seldon P. Spencer, appointed by him several days ago on the request of Secretary of State Swanger, of Missouri. Hadley Not Satisfied Regarding the appointment of a receiver for the People's United States bank of St. Louis, which receivership was vacated by Judge McIlhinney, Attorney General Hadley has made a statement in which he says he will present the affairs of the bank to the court again and ask for a complete investigation. Missouri Womann's Long Tour. Mrs. F. W. V. Blees has started her 24 horsepower touring car on a 2,000 mile trip. The ultimate destination is New York city. She crossed the Mississippi at Hannibal and will go through Illinois by way of Decatur, Danville and Springfield. Dairy Inspector Qualifies. Prof. C. R. Washburn of the university has qualified as state dairy inspector, filed his bond and received his commission from the secretary of state. He enters upon the discharge of his duties at once and his office will be at Columbia. Brick Depot for Lee's Summit. The people of Lee's Summit, who have been using two box cars for a Missouri Pacific depot for two years, have the promise of the railroad company to crest a brick building. Cut off His Own Quene Ung Jung, of St. Louis the only Chinaman in the penitentiary at Jefferson City, decided that he wanted to be like "Melican man," so he snatched the scissors from the prison barber and cut off his queue. Washburn Is Dairy Commissioner. Robert M. Washburn, of Columbia, was appointed state dairy commissioner by Gov. Folk for two years from May 1. This office was created by an act of the last legislature and carries with it a salary of $2,000. How to Recover Investments. Since the People's United States bank at St. Louis has been closed letters are coming in by scores to the secretary of state, telling of stock taken in the bank and asking for information as to the course to be pursued to recover either stock, subscriptions or deposits. As showing how widely scattered the bank's business is, it can be said that one mail brought inquiries from these, among other places: Logansport, Ind.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Mount Vernon, Ill.; Fort Mason, Ia.; Orange, Texas; Walnut Springs, Texas; Southport, Ind.; Pine Bluff, Ark.; Fremont, Ohio; Chicago, Ill.; Urbana, Ohio; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Boston, Mass.; Live Oak, Fla.; Crawfordsville, Ind.; Hastings, Neb.; Richmond, Va. The writers made claims of having invested sums ranging from $12 to $705. No Joint Station for Mexico. No Joint Station for Mexico. The matter of a union station or separate depots for the Wabash and the Chicago and Alton at Mexico is a closed incident, so far as the board of railroad and warehouse commissioners is concerned. There is but one order which it could, under the law, have enforced, and this would be for the erection of a joint station at a grade crossing of the two roads. This would have given the station a location convenient to no portion of the city, and a protest was made against it by the citizens. The board did not issue any order. College Property Exempt. An ordinance refunding to William Jewell college, of Liberty, $34.08 in taxes assessed against property in Kansas City owned by the institution was passed by the lower house. When the ordinance was read several aldermen sprang to their feet to oppose it. They were quickly disarmed, however, by the information that a special law passed by the state legislature more than 50 years ago forever exempts the property of William Jewell college from taxation. The law applies to property in any part of the state. Still He Likes to Hunt. A hunter's license was issued from the county clerk's office at Independence to L. M. Webb, aged 80 years. Mr. Webb lives at Blue Springs, where he settled 73 years ago, when Jackson county abounded in game of various species. Mr. Webb is said to have been among the most successful of the pioneer hunters, and he still likes to "try his luck" with the smaller game and at fishing. Notwithstanding his age he is still a good shot. Prizes for Drill Teams. The executive committee of the Southwestern Log Rolling Association has announced the following prizes for drill teams at the coming log rolling of the association to be held at Nevada August 10: Class A. first $125; second, $85; third, $50; Class B, first, $75; second, $40; third, $20; Royal Neighbors drill, first, $40; second $20. Is Charged With Bigamy. Albert Herring, of Brookfield, Linn county, was arrested on the charge of bigamy. Herring was married on May 2, 1905, to Mabel Eldridge, who, the state charges, was the wife of a farmer residing in Linn county. Herring protests that, as he has married only one woman, he acted within the law. Proceedings have also been instituted against the woman. A. St. Louis Ex-Alderman Free. A ST. Louis Ex-Alderman Free. The jury in the case of Edward T. Albright, ex-member of the St. Louis house of delegates, accused of bribery in connection with the Suburban railway franchise deal, agreed on a verdict of not guilty on the second ballot. The case was tried at Troy before Judge Earnett on a change of venue from St. Louis. A New Magazine for Jefferson City August 1 a magazine is to appear at Jefferson City under the name of the Capitolan. This is to be published under the management of George N. Still, of the office of the secretary of state. This paper is to be devoted to literary matters and to a discussion of general political matters. A New Newspaper for Marshall. George W. Davis, formerly editor of the Saline County Citizen, has purchased the old Conflict office at Marshall and will soon begin the publication of a democratic newspaper. Kirksville Mar Bankrupt. C. A. Gross, proprietor of the Elk cafe at Kirksville, filed a petition in voluntary bankruptcy at Hannibal. Several St. Louis firms are among the creditors. State Binding Contract Let. The state binding contract has been awarded to the Hugh Stephens printing company of Jefferson City for a term of one year. Gas Near Kansas City. While prospecting for oil and gas, at Kansas City, a development company brought in a big gas well on property belonging to the Wolverine Dairy company near Forty-seventh and Woodland avenue. Sax Morris Violated the Law. H. H. Morris was arrested by Sheriff Bacon on the charge of illegally practicing osteopathy as prohibited under section 8539 of the revised statutes of 1983. ```markdown ``` FOR SALE AT ALL DRUG STORES OR SENT BY MAIL AND BY OUR AGENTS SCOTT'S Magic Hair Straightner and Grower Is the recipe of a celebrated chemist and is guaranteed to be absolutely safe and harmless.

[WHEN WRITING MENTION THE NAME OF THIS PAPER] SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY SAN ANTONIO & ARKANSAS PASS RAILWAY COMPANY One of the Best Lines South. We are confident that many of our people are looking for permanent homes, and we would suggest that they look to the great state of Texas, in order to make a personal investigation of the wonderful possibilities of the Lone Star state. Texas, particularly the territory traversed by the San Antonio & Aransas Pass railway, which owns and operates 723 miles of road, as follows: Main Line—San Antonio to Houston. Waco Division—Waco to Yoakum. Lockhart Division—Lockhart to Shiner. Kerrville Branch—San Antio to Kerrville. Corpus Christi Brach—Corpus Christi to Kenedy. Rockport Branch—Rockport to Gregory. Alice and Falfurrias Branch—Skidmore to Alice and Falfurrias. By reference to the map you will see that they run through the finest and earliest truck-producing section in the southwest. The climate is so that the farmers raise and sell something every month in the year; in fact, it is known as the "open winter" farming country of the southwest, where a man can work out in the open air every day, and does not have to spend all he makes in the summer to keep him through the winter. It is understood that the low rate Homeseekers' tickets will continue to be on sale during November and December to all San Antonio & Arkansas Pass points, of which the following are the most prominent local stations: Falfurrias, Corpus Christi, Alice, Boeville, Skidmore, Runge, Cuero, Yorktown, Hallettsville, Rock Island, Yacum, Giddings, Cameron, Luling, Rockport, Kennedy, Karnes City, Florescville, Rockdale, Gonzales. You can pack up Sallie and the babies and go south, and they will show you all of these fertilized fields, where you can enjoy life. It is a sad mistake when our people crowd into a large city. You can do better by taking up your home in Texas. We will continue this appeal for the benefit and welfare of the Negroes. Go on SAN ANTONIO & ARANSAS PASS RAILWAY. If you wish to spend a pleasant winter, GO TO TEXAS. If you have money to invest in land, GO TO TEXAS. If you wish to be benefited by the finest of artesian well water, GO TO TEXAS. If there are another number of other things you wish to do, just take advantage of the never-before-heard-of offer of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass Railway and go to Texas. Just think! Only $15 a round trip to Texas. Quite often one makes his home in a place where the best of advantages are not offered him. The only way to remedy this inconvenience is to take advantage of whatever opportunities afford themselves. Texas is a state that contains acre upon acre of production farm land. It is not only productive during the summer, but what is most unusual also during the winter. A man doesn't have to "lay by" for the long winter months. The climate is such that one can farm all the year around. Some may hesitate because of the supposed difficulty in disposing of crops because of lack of railroads. Such a claim held good long years ago. At the present time, the San Antonio railroad has access to every available point, and makes this special offer of $15 a round trip for the express benefit of those whose funds may be low, and who might wish to purchase land in Texas, and could not afford the regular fare. Don't hesitate longer. Buy your ticket and go at once. Keystone Hotel Keystone Hotel 2305 Chestnut Boulevard. First-Class Furnished Rooms with Electric Light and Hot and Cold Baths.

So when our collector calls, please pay her, and don't say that you will call. The Palladium. The St. Louis Palladium has been garbed in a new suit, i. e., it has raised its quality of paper which adds materially. The Palladium is a very good paper, probably the best in St. Louis, but we don't know for a certainty, and this is why we say "probably," as the other papers have not been liberal enough to exchange with us. If the Palladium would just bring out stronger editorials from national issues—all else is brought up first rate. But Brother Wheeler is looking to we younger people to finish the fight he began—Forum. We are here to stay and we have taken a high moral stand against wrong and the up-building of the race. If we should fall let others take the fight up. For sale at the office of the St. Louis Palladium, all the goods that are manufactured by the Boston Chemical Co., at Richmond, Va. M. Hon. Chauceun I. Filley spoke to our people a few days ago. He is one of the fairest minded men in St. Louis to our race. He was once mayor of St. Louis, postmaster, and he has always showed himself to be one of nature's gentlemen, a great big man to all little men, and big men, white men, and black men look upon him as such. LABOR IN THE SOUTH. OYSTER FARMS There is no gainsaying the fact that in the south labor is free and independent, and that it is to this fact more than any other that southern industries are in a flourishing condition. In the north and east the walking delegate and his followers have so annoyed employers that many of them have almost lost hope of ever maintaining peaceful relations with their employees. That this is true is shown in the expressed determination of several eastern cotton mill men to transfer their interests to the south rather than longer submit to the arbitrary methods of the labor organizations. They feel that down here they will not be at the mercy of agitators who live by inciting troubles between employee and employer. They have found by observation and inquiry that much of the success of the southern mill men is directly attributable to the freedom of their employees from unionism, and they are shrewd enough to take advantage of this fact. No fair-minded employer wants to see labor deprived of its just rewards, for contented and well-paid employees bring profit themselves and to their employer, but the methods pursued by the unions in many northern and eastern industrial centers breed dissatisfaction among employers and bring want and penury to labor.—Nashville American. ANTIOCH CHURCH NOTES Rev. S. P. Anderson preached a fine sermon Sunday, the 16th, at 11 a.m. Many good thoughts were brought out, to the encouragement of all. At 8 p.m. Rev. Stennis delivered a good sermon. At the close of the morning service of Sunday, the 16th, Antioch mission met in their regular monthly meeting, and the following-named persons were ejected as delegates to the W. H. F. M. and E. convention, which will meet with Central Missionary church at Central Baptist church, Twenty-third and Morgan streets, August 16 and 17: Mrs. Susan Rodgers, Mrs. Francis Hunt, Mrs. Carrie Bray, Mrs. Anna Williams and M. A. Thornton. Antioch Missionary circle has been named by the pastor as Club No. 10, or the Tribe of Joseph, along with the other auxiliaries of the church, to raise money to repair the church. They will have a sermon preached at Antioch church Sunday, July 30, at 3 p.m. All missionary workers and the public at large are invited to attend. Mr. Calhoun Saullsbury, a member of Antioch church, departed this life Wednesday, the 12th inst., after an illness of four months, and was buried from said church Saturday, the 15th. He leaves a widow and four sons. The bereaved family have our sympathy. A. U. K. and D. of A. meets at Geary's hall, 126 North Main street, every second Wednesday and fourth Monday of each month, 7:30 p.m. Visiting Knights and Daughters welcomed. JOSEPHINE JONES, M. E. Q. WM. TAYLOR, Secretary. Great Western Excursion The heavy rain Monday night did not prevent the Great Western club from carrying out its promise, and the excursion went out, although hundreds were kept back by the weather. Those who attended say that they "had the time of their lives." By almost the unanimous request of those on board, the club will repeat the excursion Monday night, August 21, on the steamer City of Providence. Furnished Rooms. Furnished rooms for rent at Mrs. Street's, 2732 Mills street, for gentlemen only. In eastern Virginia there are several thousand acres of oyster farms, where oysters are raised by artificial methods on artificial beds. The "natural" oyster bed is where the oyster breeds and matures naturally. There are thousands of acres of such beds in the Chesapeake bay system of salt water. In such beds the oysters breed by the millions, and as they are too close together there they can not all reach a satisfactory growth. If taken when small from these "natural" beds and strewn along the bottoms, where there are no oysters naturally, at the rate of 600 to 1,000 bushels per acre, such young oysters mature and ripen off for the market, some in one and the rest in two years. There is a profit in such work, when intelligently managed, from 25 to 33 1-3 per cent. Probably more than 100,000 acres of "artificial" oyster beds are made to grow an cyster crop, in addition to the acreage embraced in the "natural" beds. The area of "artificial" beds is increasing rapidly each year. One singular feature about the oyster is this: They all look exactly alike, there being no difference between the male and the female externally or internally; in fact, the art of man is not sufficient to dinstingish one sex from another. Another unique feature is this: The male oyster "lays" as many eggs as the female—"equal rights," we perceive. The eggs of the male are called "milt," and the eggs of the female are called "spawn." An ordinary full-grown oyster is supposed to lay a million oysters a year. In spawning season the water is full of these eggs, and when the "milt" and "spawn" come in contact, and the water is at the right temperature, life is imparted to the microscopic egg, and it drops to the bottom, where, if it succeeds in grasping hold of something, such as another oyster or shell, or rock, or anything to hang on to, the tiny creature begins to form its shell, and in a few weeks becomes visible to the eye. The oyster farmers are harvesting the crop at present. While the greater portion of the United States is under snow and in the grasp of winter, our oyster farmers are busy harvesting their crop, which requires no fertilize, food or fencing, and costs only for the seed, the sowing and the harvesting, and which pays a good dividend on the investment. From 12,000 to 15,000 hands are engaged in the oyster work in eastern Virginia. It is an odd sort of farming, and the oyster farmers in winter become corn farmers in summer.—Country gentleman. Our Dishonest M. M. J. Madson. We have a long letter from Prof. C. L. Robinson, principal of the Colored school at Pacific, Mo., in which he sent us the receipts of 10 persons who our ex-agent, M. J. Madson, had given them, many of the leading business white men of that city. We will send the paper to them for the time, one year. He worked Moberly, Mexico, St. Charles and Rolla, Mo. We state again that those who have received receipts "send them to us," as we will need them as soon as he is arrested. The Palladium will carry out the contract made by this dishonest agent.

We deeply sympathize with his bereaved family. Of the National Negro Business The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in the palm garden of the Central palace, New York city, August 16, 17 and 18, 1905. It is not, perhaps, saying too much to state that this meeting will bring together one of the largest and most representative bodies of Colored people that has ever assembled in this country, and the present plan of the officers not only embraces the bringing together of a large representation of Colored business men and women from the United States, but from the West Indian island and other foreign countries as well. Great preparations are already under way on the part of the New York Local Business League for the reception and entertainment of the delegates. Aside from the business that will be attended to at the meetings, the social features of the gathering are to be made very prominent, and it is the hope that the male delegates will not only be present themselves in large numbers, but that they will bring their wives with them. Since the last meeting in Indianapolis about twenty local leagues have been organized in various parts of the country. The total number of local leagues is now considerably more than one hundred, besides a number of state organizations. The national organizer, Mr. Fred R. Moore, 181 Pearl street, New York city, is very anxious to keep in touch with all local leagues, and to lend his services wherever needed in forming new local organizations. The strongest and most successful business men and women, picked from different parts of the country, will have a place upon the programme. Houses For Sale.

Manufacturers are spending annually a large amount of money creating a demand for their goods through advertising agents, who never entertain a Negro publication. Firstly, There are eleven millions of Negroes who are consumers; more than any other one race of people in America. Of this population we can safely say there are two million Negroes who read Negro Journals. This must be done from the fact, white Journals do not print the Negro side of race questions, and Negro papers are to the Negro what the German, the Italian, Polish, the Swedish, Hebrew and other papers are to the respective nationalities. To the point, to those who know there is no class of people who are actuated or convinced of the superiority of a product by the publicity given the same than the Afro-American, for instance the manufacturer of liquors, etc., can visit colored hotels and find the best goods on the market dispensed, and demanded, they are familiar with the best brands of goods. Secondly, They pay the price for the best advertised goods. If this is doubted by making inquiries of the Anglo-Saxon retail stores. Advertising agents overlook the Negro when placing advertisements, because he does not do the selling and the jobbing, but this is unfair because it is the consumer that forces business. We see no reason why legitimate colored publications should not receive some consideration from advertising agents, as there are many deserving ones. The manufacturer who considers the Negro publications in advance will find this a profitable and inexpensive field to campaign in. The Negro is a consumer in every field, and it would do no harm and much good to look in this field. We do not desire to arrogate to ourselves the knowledge of showing men who have succeeded in placing their goods before the public, thereby creating a wholesome demand for the same. But desire to show that the above people should be considered from a practical business point of view. Hot Shots. Some employed in the city near the levee from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m. School has closed. Where are all the Sumner school girls now? Some are visiting in Chicago, Minneapolis and other places. They are having a good time. Some months ago, when we wanted to employ a young girl to do clerical work, they would never come, but say they were worth more and could get from $5 to $8 per week. They now work for $3 and don't grumble. --- When a husband chastises his wife for some shortcoming the first thing she will say is, "Look here, Nigger, I can go to Chicago and be a white lady's maid, and I am not going to be bossed by you." Why is it that the mothers and fathers will dress their girls beyond their means? You are only making trouble for yourself and the ruination of that girl. CAN'T YOU SEE IT? NEWS OF M. J. MADISON.

CLUB Under New Management. On June 15th, 1905, Gen. Rice resigned the presidency of that organization, having served in that capacity more than 12 months. The board of directors and many of the members prevailed upon him to remain as president and general manager, but after he explained the fact that he had invested in a new field of business which would require all of his time and attention, his explanation was accepted with the best wishes for his success in his new venture from the club.

Don't forget the number, 21 North Twenty-first street STATE FAIR. \FTH ANNUAL EXHIBITION The state fair will hold its fifth annual exhibition at Sedalia, August 21-26, 1905. The greatest fair in the history of the state is already assured. The best horses, jacks, mules, cattle, swine and sheep bred in the United States and many animals selected from the best herds in Europe, will be on exhibition. The display of saddle horses will include animals royally bred, thoroughly trained and unsurpassed in individuality. Matched teams and single drivers, the Kings and Queens of the American road horse, are now in preparation for an exhibition that will evidence the superiority of the breed, and of the intelligence of the American horse breeder. A number of Missouri counties and localities from other states have engaged space for an agricultural and horticultural exhibit. The agricultural building is one of the largest and the finest in architectural design on the grounds. It will be filled to its utmost capacity with the various products of Missouri's fertile soil. This exhibit will be an unanswerable tribute to the state's agricultural greatness and an evidence of her wonderful resources. The departments of Art, Textile Fabrics and Pantry Stores will show the domestic qualities of Missouri women. No other state can surpass them, possibly they have no equal. Every Missouriian should attend the fair. If you can not contribute to the displays go and learn something of the granduer of the state, its unlimited possibilities and the greatness it promises in the future. (To Be Continued.)

The Management of Wives. Another thing the tactful husband does is to let his wife cry. I don't mean that he drives her to crying, or that he lets her weep while he stands unsympathetically by with his hands in his trousers pockets, his feet apart, and grinning sardonically. I mean that when an emotional woman needs a good cry he realizes that it will relieve the tension. He does not get up and rage about and kick footstools out of the way and say: "Oh, for heaven's sake! stop crying, or you'll drive me to drink!" No! He goes and pats her shoulder soothingly and says: "There, little woman! I'm sorry the cook has left and your new gown hooks up crookedly, but cheer up! Let's go out and have a jolly little dinner, and to-morrow I'll write that tailor a letter that will make his hair curl." Then she looks up through her tears and thinks how handsome and big and strong and glorious he is, and before the dinner is over she has thought up two ways in which to economize and so pay for the extravagance of his order to the waiter. For the common purse is not elastic, and she knows it.—Lillian Bell, in Harper's. For Bargains see the offerings of our Advertisers.

ORDERED BY COMPTROLLER ‘The Failure is Incidental to ‘That of C. J. Deviin, of Topeka, Kat ‘= Large Amount of Whose Paper Was Held. Kansas City, Mo., July 21.—The City national bank has closed its doors. The bank held paper of C. J. Devlin, of Topeka, to the amount of upwards of $100,000, and the failure is the direct result of the closing of the First na- tional bank of Topeka, of which Mr. Devlin was the prinefpal stockholder. Some time ago the comptroller of the currency at Washington instructed the officers of the City national bank to repair its capital. ‘This was done by borrowing. Following the failure of the First national bank at Topeka, the lender became insistent on repayment of his loan, and this demand caused the officers of the City national to de- cide upon closing their institution ‘The bank was closed by E. E. Ames, bank examiner, under instructions from the comptroller of the currency. ‘The comptroller had, it is stated, in- formed the officers of the bank that it must take up $200,000 bad paper im- mediately or they would not be per- mitted to open. Within the past 60 days $690,000 has been withdrawn from the bank. NO OTHER BANKS AFFECTED. verienced by Other Banks. Kansas City, Mo., July 21—Up to the close of banking. hours no flurry affecting other local institutions had followed the failure of the City na- tional bank of Kansas City. Nothing bordering on a run was experienced at any of the other local banks and, ac- cording to the officers at each place, none was expected. ‘The City national had been in a weakened condition for some time. Its failure had been an- ticipated, and therefore no surprise was shown in banking circles when the an- nouncement was made that it had been taken in charge by National Bank Ex- aminer Ames. ‘The failure of the City national bank of this city was due in a great measure to the fact that it held upwards of $100,000 of C. J, Deviin’s paper, which is tied up in the recent failure of the First national bank at Topeka, of which Mr. Devlin was the principal stockholder. The only ore other Kan- sas City bank that had held Devlin paper was the American national. C. §. Jones, president of the American na~ tional bank. stated that the $307,000 of Devlin paper held at the time of the ‘Topeka failure had been purchased since then from the American national bank by its directors, ‘Thus, it was stated, there was no cause for a run on the American na- tional.

PLACE.—isalah prophesied in Jerusalem. Many scholars think this portion of the ook was written by prophet at Babylon. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES,—Compare the Invitation of Isa, 55:1, 2, with those of John 4:10-14; 6:52-08; 7:37-89; Rev, 21:6; 28:17. “The sure mercies of David” in Isa, 65:8 and in 2 Sam. 7:$-16; 28:6; Psa. 18:50; 89:28, 43. Get ght on ¥. 5 from Isa, 25:8; 44:23; 49:8, 7. For the thought of v, 6 see Isa, 49:8; Jer, Banu, Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 1. “Ho.” An exclamation to at- tract attention. Moderns have ex- panded it into Hello. “Every one caat thirsteth.” One must feel his need in order to be attracted to that which will supply it. “Waters, milk, wine.” By these expressive figures tue prophet seeks to set forth the blessings of sal- vation, V. 2 “Spend... not bread.” It would be foolish to spend money for articles of food or drink, which, in- stead of nourishing the body, poison ‘t; that is what the drunkard does. Y. 3, “Incline your ear and come.” ‘Hear and heed” is the reiterated call of this passage. “Your soul shall live.” Our spirit, heart, real life, can be sup- ported only by communion with Jesus. “An everlasting covenant.” An agree- ‘nent that can never be broken. Vv. 4. “Him.” It seems difficult te decide whether the historical David, or “David's greater Son,” Jesus, is here alluded to. David was in some ways a type of Jesus. He was & “witness” to the surrounding nations xf the true God. V. 5. “Thou shalt call a nation,” ete As David spread the knowledge of the true God, so do Christians spread the knowledge of Jesus. V. 6. “Seek ye the Lord.” While God ta always seeking us, there must be in our part also a seeking, or, rather, a will- ingness to be found. “While He may be founa.” This implies that a time will come when God cannot be found; this will be because our hearts have grown hard so that they do not re- spond to His loving touch. V. 7. The prophet now goes on to tell how to seek the Lord. “Wicked forsake his way.” Break off sinful habits, turn from bad companions and haunts of vice. “Unrighteous man.” Literally, “the man of falsehood’— that is, one who is false instead of true, “His thoughts.” Evil thoughts put a barrier between God and man, Vs, 8, 9. “My thoughts are not your thoughts,” ete. This refers especially to God’s thoughts about saving men. These surpass anything that could have entered into our minds. Their vast- ness is pictured by pointing to the heavens, Countless worlds appear | there as stars, while in size they far exceed our earth or sun; so are God's thoughts and ways beyond ours. In the matter of pardon, for instance, when we pardon those who have wronged us, it is apt to be grudgingly, with reservations, and with a feeling that we never can forget the injury; but God abundantly pardons. ‘Va. 10, 11. God's work in the proc- esses of nature is often pointed to that we may learn therefrom about His processes of grace. As He sends the rain and snow, so He has provided for refreshing and fertilizing cur hearts The means he has furnished for doing this is here called “My Word.” We must recollect the power of the crea- tive word of God, think of the heart: touching power of the words of Jesus by which the lives of those who heard were enlightened and purified. God's purposes for our salvation, as embodied in His word, “shall not return void” —that is, they shall accomplish that for which they were intended in the salvation of mankind. ‘Vv. 12. “For ye shall go out with joy.” These words seem to apply pri- marly to the return of the captives from Babylon; and, secondarily, to all tne people of God who shall be deliv. ered from the bondage of sin and led into the enjoyment of peace and glad- ness through the reign of Christ in the hearts of men everywhere. The scene is one of real joy. V. 13. “Instead of the thorn.” The emblem of sin. “Shall come up thq dr tree.” Representing beauty and usefulness. So of the “brier” and “myrtle tree.” So great is the power of the Gcsvel that it can change na- tures which are sharp, thorny and hateful, until they fill places of beauty and usefulness in the world This is accomplished, in a measure, in every convertes soul; the picture will be filled out when Christ shall rule all naticns, and all men become His loyal subjects. “And it” (both the works of nature and the offer of salvation made in the preceding verses) “shall be to the Lord for a name.” Will re- veal God’s love and His glory (com pare Jer. 13:11) Practical Points.

Misery of Enforced Idleness, “I had been tenching in the city schools steadily for six years,” said Miss James, whose recent return to the work from which she was driven by nervous collapse has attracted attention. ‘They were greatly overcrowded, especially in ‘the primary department of which I had charge, and I had been doing the worl: ‘of two teachers.

From that time on he took active part in the deliberations of that body, proving himself a strong debater, but doing his best work in committee. COMES A TIME When Coffee Shows What It Has Been Doing. "Of late years coffee has disagreed with me," writes a matron from Rome, N. Y., "its lightest punishment was to make me 'logy' and dizzy, and it seemed to thicken up my blood. "The heaviest was when it upset my stomach completely, destroying my appetite and making me nervous and irritable, and sent me to my bed. After one of these attacks, in which I nearly lost my life, I concluded to quit and try Postura Food Coffee. "It went right to the spot! I found it not only a most palatable and refreshing beverage, but a food as well "All my ailments, the 'loginess' and dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition of my blood, my nervousness and irritability disappeared in short order, and my sorely afflicted stomach began quickly to recover. I began to rebuild and have steadily continued until now. Have a good appetite and am rejoicing in sound health, which I owe to the use of Postum Food Coffee."

RELIGIOUS MATTERS THE CHRISTIAN HOUSEHOLD Heaven Experienced Below Wherever Devout and Prayerful Christian Faith Pervades the Home. If there be a paradise on earth it is the Christian home, writes Rev. George Shipman Payson, D. D., in the New York Observer. There heart is bound to heart by those imperishable bonds which are wrought not of human affection alone, but of human affection inspired and blest through perpetual union with that love which is eternal—the love of God, the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the communion of the Holy Spirit. This is Heaven below. and this is experienced wherever devout and prayerful Christian faith pervades the household. The sacred ties which blud our hearts in Christian fellowship link Heaven with earth, eternity with time. And for those who have lost some treasure from the home circle, whose memory to-day rests fondly upon the precious relics of a companion whom we fain would have kept beside us all the way, the lonelier pilgrim road is gladdened by the comforting assurance: "Them that are asleep will Christ bring with Him;" and our hearts are soothed and quieted, and our grief is turned into holy peace, while our tears fall on the empty place. O, how rich are the consolations of Divine mercy! How blest are the homes in which the vacant chair today is garlanded with a sober but confident hope, and where the irrepressible yearnings for but one "touch of a vanished hand, And the sound of a voice that is still," are answered by the Saviour's comfort words: "Let not your heart be troubled, in My Father's house are many mansions." "There is no death; what seems so is transition." The life to come is linked with this life here. Thanksgivings mingle with our deepest griefs, and most tender reminiscences while we abide with God. Hopes spring anew from out the chastening memories which each domestic feast awakens. And with a new and deeper meaning, born of our sorest bereavements, we may repeat the devout words of a reverent soul who sang long years ago: "All that is in Heaven and earth is Thine, O Lord; therefore, O God, we thank Thee, and praise Thy holy name." EPIGRAMMATIC SAYINGS There is something wrong with a man when he hates boys.—Ram's Horn. The enduring pedestal of fame is built out of lowly deeds done in a lofty spirit.—United Presbyterian. No large, generous soul was ever a worrier. Calmness, serenity, poise and power to move through life rhythmically, without jar or fret, are characteristic of greatness and true nobility.—Success. Fairness and charity are sure fruits of heart communion with Heaven, and these perfumes of the soul cannot be long preserved unless we come sometimes into a desert place and rest awhile.—T. K. Cheyne. It has been well remarked: It is not said that after keeping God's commands, but in keeping them there is great reward. God has linked these two things together, and no man can separate them—obedience and peace. Robertson. If there be not a heavenly world to heal the wounds of earth; if beyond the indefinite boundary of life there lies no land where wrongs are righted and sorrows borne away, then is life a tragedy indeed and the sweet solace of hope a mockery to us all.—United Presbyterian. Love is not getting, but giving; not a wild dream of pleasure and a madness of desire—oh, no, love is not that—it is goodness and honor and peace and pure living—yes, love is that; and it is the best thing in the world and the thing that lives longest.—Henry Van Dyke. It may be taken as a foregone conclusion that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies, so far as he has them, are men of bad character. When a man has an irregular character he may have friends among those who are good and friends among those who are not good. The former will grieve over his wrong course, and the latter will help to pull him down.—Methodist Protestant. At One's Best One is naturally anxious to ever appear at his best. There are some music teachers who say to their pupils: "Never sing unless you know you are going to do your best." Perhaps this is one reason why some singers are so finicky; they never know when they are going to do their best. Be that as it may, there is but one way always to appear at one's best: to live at one's best. It is folly to try to appear other than we are. Company manners are always awkward for the reason that we are not always in company, and the manners are not ever the same. To be entirely natural under all circumstances, and at one's best, is the secret, not of doing wisely, but of living well.

A young man with ingenuity enough to warrant success recently identified himself with a Milwaukee church that boasts of having one of the largest congregations in the city, relates the Evening Wisconsin. He made himself generally useful, offering to sing in the chair, teach Sunday school, act as usher, or do anything that would help the good cause along. He was finally asked to serve in the capacity of usher, which he did with great alacrity. As he passed the collection box the minister noticed that he handed each person a slip of white paper. At first the minister supposed they were the envelopes in which the money for specified purposes is usually inclosed, but after a series of assiduous work in part of the usher, the minister decided to investigate. He discovered that the young man was a struggling young dentist, and was handing out his business cards. Reads Like a Miracle Moravia, N. Y., July 17th.—(Special)—Bordering on the miraculous is the case of Mrs. Benj. Wilson, of this place. Suffering from Sugar Diabetes, she wasted away till from weighing 200 lbs. she barely tipped the scales at 130 lbs. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her cure her husband says:— "My wife suffered everything from Sugar Diabetes. She was sick four years and doctored with two doctors, but received no benefit. She had so much pain all over her that she could not rest day or night. The doctors said that she could no live." "The an advertisement led me to try Dodd's Kidney Pills, and they helped her right from the first. Five boxes of them cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were a God-sent remedy to us, and we recommend them to all suffering from Kidney Disease." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney Discases, including Bright's Disease, and all Kidney aches, including Rheumatism. A Departure.

One Cake of Cuticura Soap and One Box of Cuticura Cured Baby's Awful Humor. "When my sister was eighteen months old a humor broke out on her shoulders, eaten long clear across the back. For two years it caused her intense suffering. It would scab over and then crack open and a watery matter ooze from it. Then the scabs would fall off and it would be raw for a time. We had several different doctors and tried everything we could think of, but without effecting a cure. Then we got one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, which cured her completely and without scar or blemish. (Signed) Lillie Chase Walker, 5 Premont St., Woodfords, Me."

Y., is the inventor and proprietor of "Foot-Ease," a well-known proprietary article of merit and enjoying a large sale all over the world. Mr. Olmsted has been able to buy, invent, and make a trade-mark of great value. Others have noted this with jealous eye and have sought, by underhand methods and by copying, to steal the benefits to be had from confusing the mind of the public. Mr. Olmsted brought his dishonest competitors into the Supreme Court of New York State, which recently granted an annuity with costs, posting a fee of denders from making or selling a foot powder resembling Allen's Foot-Ease in outward form or design or otherwise. The entire advertising fraternity of the United States owes a debt of gratitude to Mr. Olmsted for taking this firm stand against the buccaneers of trade, who, having no inventive power themselves, are always willing to help them succeed. They akin to those of the bushranger, become social highwaymen in stealing the benefits of long, extensive and clever advertising.

Last spring and summer I used Dr. Pusheck's-Kuro with marvelous results. I regard this remedy as the wonder of the age. For years I have suffered with Nervousness and when I get up with mornings I would be dizzy and for moments would have blind sluggers. I have been under the care of four physicians; their treatment did not do me a particle of good. I have used three packages of Pusheck's-Kuro and am now a well and happy woman. Pusheck's-Kuro has created new blood and flesh for me; since using it I have gained 10 pounds. I lose no opportunity to recommend it to any friends here. Very respectfully, Mrs. W. Oury.

BURNHARDI'S MERCANTILE COMPANY We are truly glad that the firm of Bunhardt's Mercantile Co., 518 North Commercial street, have opened their doors to the Colored girls and given them something to do toward making an honest livelihood. We had the pleasure of visiting this firm last Tuesday, July 11. We were conducted to the second floor by Mr. Ralney, the superintendent in charge, who is an exceedingly polite gentleman, and has under his control about 120 young girls. He gave us much information, and introduced us to Mrs. Dora Kirk, who has the immediate charge of the girls. She showed us the different departments and the manner in which the work was carried on. The machines were perhaps the most interesting feature to me. Mrs. Kirk is of a kind and lovable disposition, and she knows how to treat the girls in order that they in turn will love her. Mr. Rainey is a very congenial gentleman, and likewise a thoroughgoing business man. The only request he makes is that good behavior be observed by each one at all times and careful attention be paid to the work that is assigned to individuals. After we had surveyed the building and its different devices, we then proceeded to survey the young ladies in their different occupations. It was then that we noticed some lovely ones whom we least expected to see. Yet, like the story, when we get to Heaven we will behold three wonders, and the greatest of all are in Heaven ourselves. Our eyes fell upon several of our most beautiful girls. In that number perhaps, the Palladium man made them feel happy, for it is his delight to make others happy. While there we heard the 120 voices of the girls humming the hymn "Nearer, My God, to Thee." I could not conceive why such a hymn was being hummed. We then tipped our hats and bade the happy host of young ladies and the superintendent good-by. As we started down stairs Mrs. Kirk sent one of the dear young ladies to see us safe on the street. We want to again thank this firm of gentlemen, known as Bunhardt's Mercantile Co., for their interest in our race. We fully recognize the fact that we can not give too much praise to them. We will call again soon. Sunday Services: S. S. 9:30 a. m. Preaching: 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. A. C. E. 6:30 p. m. Mid Week Meetings: Official and trustee Monday 8 p. m. Embry Literary, Tuesday 8 p. m.

Last spring, as well as last fall, not less than 10,000 Negroes voted the republican ticket, and by their faithful service to the party a number of republicans were elected. Of course there were no Negroes on the ticket. We did expect to get some of the appointments, however. What is the result? Take as an example the register's office. What representation has the Negro in that office? Not one, and for a Negro man in business to go into that office he is not treated with any respect. It would have been far more credit to the Negro to have left that office out and allowed the democrats to remain in office. We wish to announce that unless the Negroes of St. Louis are given fair recognition in the distribution of the patronage of that office in the next election we will cut the republicans out. Watch the prediction of the Palladium, for the Negroes are with us. What service has any republican been to the Negro since the last election? The time has come that the Negro must see what post he will get, and if nothing, then we, as Negro republicans, must cut dem republicans out. "Since man to man is so unjust We scarcely know what man to trust." The above words were used by the Palladium at the beginning of the past municipal campaign, and as to their merit, we refer the Negro to the council's action of Saturday, April 8. Not a advantage of consideration was given the various Negro candidates for sergeant-at-arms in the council, though four representative hard working Negroes had made application for the position and although the position had been filled by a Negro from 1894 to 1900. It was expected and conceded that if the council went republican that the position of sergeant would go to a Negro In caucus the council entirely ignored the Negro and his 10,000 votes. The republican members met and offered the position to a white man worth $30,000 and who draws a pension of $75 per quarter, who has held the offices of police sergeant, captain, chief and city jailer. It will be well for the Negro to remember those two famous caucuses of the party, the one at Jefferson City and the other at St. Louis, composed of the republican city council members. The Negro has learned his friend and it is befitting that he remember them. It seems to be an undeniable fact that as rapidly as the republicans secure control in Missouri, they just as certainly apply the thumbscrew to the Negro. There seems to be among the majority of white republicans a hearty spirit of antagonism which party constitutions and laws do not eradicate or suppress. Already Open.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolina, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each Washington, D. C. Virginia and Tennessee, 4 each California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each have 3 Kansas, Nebraska, Maryland and Colorado, each 3.....12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each.....7 Territory have on each.....7 Published in the south.....101 Published in the west.....44 Published in the east.....26 Total.....171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. THE PALLADIUM IS FIRST-THE OTHERS FOLLOW.
