ST LOUIS PALLADIUM Lyons' Short Order Restaurant 2337 Market St. Vol. XXII. No. 6. [Name] [Name not visible in the image] GEORGE E. TEMPLE A Popular Candidate for distinguished Honors. Odd Fellows in all parts of the country are looking forward for the next B. M. C., which will convene at Richmond, Va., next October. At this meeting they will elect a new leader. The present grand master having served two years, he is compelled by the B. M. C. law to retire. Therefore, there are many aspirants for the position. The subject of this sketch, the Hon. Geroge E. Temple, of St. Louis, Mo., deputy grand master of the G. U. O. of F., has been an Odd Fellow for more than twenty years. He is book-keeper in the water department at St. Louis, Mo., having worked his way up from the humble position of janitor, and has been in the city department for more than 15 years.

M., he is now a candidate for the highest position in the order, grand master, and is no doubt the strongest man in the field. His efficient work in the order and his creditable record at home placed him among the noted men of the country, and the concensus of opinion is that next October we will hall him as Grand Master Temple. And when grand master he will give his entire time to the duties of the office of grand master of this grand order. He is a natural born secretary, and when in the office of grand master he will be a natural born grand master. J. W. W. ROLLER SKATING RINK as Hall, 3137 Pine Street.

CLARKE, Instructor. His Civilized Brother GEO. DYER and THE CENSOR. SEE THEM. Mr. Geo. Dyer, editor of the St Louis Censor, devotes weekly much space to censuring and vilifying the Negro in a general and unstinted way, still the Negro has little cause to lament after having considered and measured the weight with which his arguments will fall upon the ears of respectable humanity. This man Dyer brands the entire Negro race as a band of common thieves and rapists, wholly devoid of character and manhood. Only charitable respect for the silent dead prevents the writer from turning the calcium light on old man Dyer, Sr, for there is a wee bit of history. Does the essence of humanity live in Color? Is the black man less a man than the white? Is he to be denied all human rights? Does his color reach his soul? Is reason on conscience a whit blacker in the Negro than in the white man? What woeful indifference some men exhibit towards the progress of humanity. Justice, Christian sympathy and the love of liberty have found but few voices in America. Seven and a half million Negroes passed from the most degrading bondage with scarcely a word of welcome. If God reigns, then the subversion of a vast crime, the breaking of an unrighteous yoke must in its final results be good, despite the doctrine of the sarcastic Mr. Dyer. Better that the globe be tenanted by brutes than by brutalized men. If Mr. Dyer must appease his desire to speak weekly of the Negro's morals, let him relate the entire history, let him tell of the countless slave-owners who kept their black females to appease their imperial lust; let him jeil, if he pleases, who sowed first the seeds of amalgamation, selling their own mulatto children into bondage; let him tell the public, if he pleases, whether it was the Negro man who attacked the white mistress or else the white master forcing his debased attention on the black servant girl. There is possibly no Negro in the city of St. Louis who has fallen so low as some white men, who rob men and women of character to promote their own existence. It is to be hoped that the authorities will take some steps to suppress Mr. Dyer and his little sheet. A Musical Feast. The goodly number who attended the sacred concert at Douglass Hall, Sunday afternoon, were amply repaid for coming out. The programme was especially entertaining. The truly eloquent address of Col. George D. Reynolds was full of ethical instruction and advice. The singing of Mrs. Beulah Patterson Harris was rapturiously encored several times. The specials for next Sunday will be Prof. Edward S. Willams, principal of Dessalines school, and Miss Mabel Wheeler, of Sumner high school. MASQUE PARTIES. The first of the series of Friday evening masque parties at Orpheus Academy was a most pronounced success. A number of the pupils of the school came masked, and a great deal of merriment was excited at the efforts made to identify each other. Absolutely perfect order and decorum characterized the occasion. These parties will continue each Friday night during the pre-Lenten season. If you want the people to know that you are in business send your ad to the Palladium. Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. THOMAS J. AKINS. It should be definitely understood, inspire of all arguments to the contrary, that Thos. J. Akins can no longer be fastened upon the Negroes of Missouri as their friend, or as a representative republican. Hundreds of prominent Negroes all over the state have signified their intention to fight the child of fortune from Humansville, Mo., to the last ditch, and if their wishes are ignored and overridden by the party, they will stay at home on election day. In spite of the stolid few, who follow in the timeworn rut, absorbing insults and injuries, the Negro, as a whole, will oppose vigorously such men as Thos. J. Akins, and the party in general must suffer if it fails to heed a timely warning. The day of two-by-four peanut politicians is at an end. The times demand broad, far-seeing, progressive men, who will, in a degree at least, respect the desires of the people. Mr. Akins is a failure as a leader; he is altogether too small for the national committee, and his retention in that body will do the administration and party no good. As small as is Mr. Akins' capacity, he has for several years hoodwinked the party into the belief that he is a political power in the state, when as a matter of fact Mr. Akins could not by his own magnetism control two hundred votes outside of his own native hamlet—Humansville, Mo. Let the republican party wake up; there are too many good men in the state for the party to be carrying this political mill-stone about its neck. MR. W. E. OFFICER, MANAGER DUMAS SKATING RINK. The Palladium wishes to say in behalf of Mr. Wm. E. Officer, now the manager of the Dumas Roller Rink, one of the finest conducted resorts of its kind in St. Louis, that he is a leader, and it has been said by many who know him that he will make St. Louis' second James W. Grant. When spoken to by a representative of the Palladium in regard to the Dumas Roller Rink, Mr. Officer said that he was pulling with every effort to make the Dumas Roller Rink a successful resort, especially for ladies, and so far he had succeeded. He stated that his matriines were very good, and that in evenings he had all he could accommodate. We find that nothing has been left undone by the management to make the place a success. Mr. Officer also stated that he was organizing a Roll-Away club, which will put on an exhibition on the 30th of this month at the rink. Prizes will be awarded. He also stated that a Rollaway carnival is on the way, and a rollaway masquerade will soon follow, and that a list of the Rollaway club will appear in next week's issue. EVENING CLASSES IN SHORT- HAND. It is with pleasure we note the fact that Mr. Ambrose A. Clark is now instructing classes in shorthand writing. It is now that our young men and young ladies should prepare for the duties that await them in the places opening every day. You should be equal to any other man or woman that lives on the earth. We are living in an age of business activity, and the young men and women of our race should be ready at all times to enter into the business activity of the twentieth century.

GRANDE BAL MASQUE EVERY FRIDAY EVENING ORPHEUS DANCING ACADEMY M. B. CHAUNCEY IVES FILET. To Chauncey Ives Filley will be offered the leadership of St. Louis republicanism, without any strings and at the hands of representatives of all of the different factions now struggling for supremacy in St. Louis.

In the fifty-sixth annual report of the state superintendent of public schools the claim is made by Superintendent Carrington that no other state is making such rapid and substantial progress in public school work as Missouri. He asserts that such progress in the last seven years has been very noticeable along two lines: First, better buildings, better equipment and better supplies of all kinds enable teachers to do better work; second, the spirit of school work is better. The following statistics and comparisons show the material growth of the schools during the past seven years: The amount spent for teachers' salaries in 1905 was $5,954,254; for the same purpose in 1898 it was $4,230,593, which shows an increase of 41 per cent. The amount spent for new school buildings in 1905 was $2,418,912; for the same purpose in 1898 it was $993,158, which shows an increase of 141 per cent. The total expenditures for all public school purposes in 1905 was $10,090,669; for the same purposes in 1898 it was $6,249,051, which shows an increase of 60 per cent. The number of teachers employed in the public schools of the state in 1905 was 17,385; the number employed in 1898 was 15,259, which shows an increase of 14 per cent. Must Refund Freight. The railroad and warehouse commissioners have decided the case of the lumbermen's association brought recently against the Missouri Pacific and the Taylor City Belt to recover excessive freight charges on lumber shipped into the world's fair grounds. It was developed at the hearing that the belt line was part of the Missouri Pacific and the Iron Mountain, and had no right to make a charge of $10 per car for taking the lumber into the grounds. Enforcing Laws at Bexler: Enforcing Laws at Bevier. The police arrested about 30 citizens of Bevier on complaint of Messrs. Waller and Durkin, Chicago detectives of the anti-saloon league, acting as special officers under orders from Mayor C. F. Ballenger. Several prominent people, including former city officials, a justice of the peace, saloon keepers, bartenders and traveling salesmen, are among the defendants, most of them charged with selling intoxicating liquor on Sunday or gambling. For a Park at Pilot Knob. Senator Warner, of Missouri, has introduced a bill to establish a national military park to commemorate the battle of Pilot Knob, during the last invasion of Missouri in 1864. The bill provides for acquiring title to all lots on the site of the battle of the Big Muddy Coal and Iron company's subdivision adjoining the town of Pilot Knob, and such points of interest as the commission may select. Reward Offered by Governor. Gov. Folk has issued a proclamation offering a reward for John H. Fulkerson, charged with bribing a jury in Johnson county on or about June 16 1905. Two hundred dollars is offered for the arrest and delivery of Fulkerson to the sheriff of Johnson county. The reward will stand for one year. The jury bribery is alleged to have occurred at the trial of the Hyatt brothers for murder. Dr. Loeb's Gift to the M. S. U. Dr. Isidor Loeb, professor of political science and public law in the Missouri university, has presented to the library of that institution 193 dissertations dealing with the legal rights of married women. The collection is the most valuable which any western university library possesses upon that subject. Begins an Anti-Vice Crusade. As a result of the agitation on the part of the ministers of Chillicothe, the officers have started a crusade against vice. The ministers assert that they have information that the Sunday "lid" has been ratling for several weeks. The arrests followed a big union temperance meeting. Attempted Suicide on Train. When Wabash train No. 3 arrived at Salisbury an Italian, unconscious from a wound in his throat, was found in the toilet room of the day coach. A razor found in the compartment indicated an attempt at suicide. Worked Men Overtime. S. W. Templeton, of Joplin, was fined $25 for violating the eight-hour law by compelling men in his mine, the Miami, to work more than eight hours per day. Other cases are pending. Frisco Conductor Fatally Hurt. At Sligo, on the Salem branch of the Frisco, Conductor James Dorsey was caught between two drawbars and probably fatally injured. He was taken to Springfield in a special car. A Farmers' Telephone Line. Several farmers living south of Oak Grove, Jackson county, have organized a telephone company, which is to be operated on the mutual plan. It will be known as the "Round Prairie Telephone system." Founders' Day at Blee. The sixth annual celebration of the founding of Blees Military academy was held, at which there was a special programme in academy hall. The usual founders' day reception and hop was given by the faculty and cadets. Chantauqua for Columbia. A movement which has been on foot for some months for the organization of a Chautauqua at Columbia has taken shape in the organization of a committee which will manage the affair. The members of the committee are: J. A. Hudson, William Hirth, editor of the Statesman, and Walter Williams, editor of the Herald. The first meeting of the association will be held August 10 to 19, and it is the purpose of the organizers to make it one of the greatest meetings of the kind ever held. An attempt will be made to bring to Columbia for the first meeting Gov. Folk, Senators Stone and Warner, W. J. Bryan, and possibly W. T. Jerome, Thomas W. Lawson, John Allen and "Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee. A Tuberculosis Demonstration. Before over 600 live stock breeders, Dr. D. F. Luckey, state veterinarian, and Dr. J. W. Connoway, veterinarian to the experiment station at Columbia, gave the first part of the tuberculosis demonstration. In many respects it was the most thorough and interesting demonstration ever given at the agricultural college. The veterinarians declared that tuberculosis could be transmitted from animals to humans or from humans to animals. Bovine tuberculosis was declared to be the same disease as human consumption. Corn Growers Meet. The Missouri Corn Growers' Association held its second session before an audience of 600 farmers at Columbia. Addresses were delivered by Prof. E. B. Forbes, of the agricultural college; Dr. J. H. Pettit, of the Illinois experiment station, upon "The Maintenance of Soil Fertility in Grain Farming;" Dr. H. A. Huston, of Chicago, and Dr. Paul Schweitzer, of the Missouri experiment station, upon "Experience with Commercial Fertilizers." Forged Notes Canceled. In the circuit court at Clinton, Judge C. A. Denton ordered nearly $75,000 worth of forged notes canceled. They were part of the collateral hypocatated by Manager Casey, of the Salmon & Salmon bank, and were held by the Commonwealth Trust company, of St. Louis, to secure the Salmon & Salmon overdrafts. The names of some of the most prominent farmers and stock raisers in Henry county were forged to them. An Un-to-Date Farm: R. R. Howard a young farmer who lives about sixteen miles northeast of Mexico, has an electric light plant complete in every detail, on his farm. He not only illuminates his residence, but lights his barns and outbuildings. The plant was put up by Mr. Howard himself. It has a capacity of twenty-five incandescent lights of sixteen candle power strength. Destructive Fire at Advance. The main business block of Advance, thirty miles south of Cape Girardeau, has been destroyed by fire. The post office, opera house, Stewart & Prather's store, two millinery stores, two barber shops, Evans & Co's store, Cook's drug store and Biffle & Co's store were burned. The origin of the fire has not been learned. Loss on merchandise. $30,000; buildings. $20,000. Killed by an Icicle. Charles Dick was killed and Joseph DeFay sustained a broken arm by a large icicle falling into the slaft of the Jupiter mine at Duenweg, east of Jopiln. The two men were being hoisted to the surface and when 60 feet from the bottom of the mine a large icicle fell from the top. Dick was knocked from the tub to the bottom of the shaft: Killed at Col. Phelp's Farm; At Col. Phelp's farm, northeast of Carthage, John Skidmore, of Humboldt Kan., a skilled workman, putting tiling on the roof of the new stone house, lost his balance and fell to the ground, breaking his neck. Doctors were summoned by Col. Phelps in his auto, but the man was past medical aid and died soon after. $67,000 Mining Deal. One hundred and seventy-five acres of land at Peacock, a small mining camp northwest of Joplin, has been sold to Tom Connor and E. N. Perry, of Joplin, for $67,000. A Newspaper Change. Fred G. Holman, ex-circuit clerk of Copper county, has leased the Pilot Grove Record, a weekly newspaper, of W. R. Annan. He will assume charge at once. Pardon for Lohn Richmond. Lola Richmond has been pardoned from the penitentiary by Gov. Folk. She was sent up from Marion county, in October, 1904, for two years for receiving stolen goods. Lived in Missouri 80 Years. Miss Sallie Thompson. 92 years old, died at her home in Middletown. She was born in Kentucky in 1813 and came to Missouri about 80 years ago, passing through St. Louis in a wagon when the metropolis was but a little city. A Miner Fell 130 Feet to Death. Harry Nally was killed at one of the Mercantile mines at Webb City as he was preparing to begin work. He was in the act of stepping into the tub to go down in the ground when his foot slipped and he fell 130 feet. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE. N.W. Cor. Jefferson and Lawton Aves. Open Day and Night.

Strange indeed that a few Negroes are continually saying that the reputation of a man goes. They had better learn what character is. The kissing case of Wilkerson was put off until the 30th of this month. We have watched long enough. Next week we will pay our respects to him, years. The amateur minstrels' performances at Douglass hall on the 16th, 17th and 18th were most successful in every way. We shall give a full account in our next issue. It is to be hoped that the president will not appoint Wm. T. Vernon as register of the treasury. The president, we believe, could make a much better selection. His appointment may not benefit the Negro race or the republican party. The president should not do anything he would regret in the future. J. C. NAPIER DECLINES CONSULSHIP.

Attorney Joseph A Smith has secured the service of a very competent and efficient stenographer and office assistant in the person of Miss Emeline Phillips, of this city. During her short connection with the office she has become quite skillful in the art of drafting legal documents, and we prophesy for her a bright future. Why do not some more home girls do likewise?

The former pastor of Big Zion was in the city last Monday. He said that he was on his way to meet the bishops to reconcile some matters. Since the mountains could not come to him, he must go to the mountains. Mrs. Julia A. Gillespie, of 6113 Colorado avenue, has just returned from a very pleasant visit from Louisville, Ky., and Meridian, Miss., refreshed and looking well. She will be glad to see her many friends and patrons in the hair-dressing business. The Dessalines school of 1745 North Twelfth street, since the completion of the new room last summer, is one of the most complete schools in St. Louis for its size. Prof. E. S. Williams is principal. Full account of the school will appear next week. Last Sunday evening, January 14, Mr. and Mrs. Williams entertained a few of their friends at a very pleasant dinner. Among those present were: Rev. Dr Pierce and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Crain, Mrs. Jesse Jackson, Miss Noami Tyes, Miss Ella Rucks and Mrs. Katie L. Boswell. Louis Reed, born in Shreveport, La., May 20, 1866; in Company I, Eighty-eighth Infantry, Colored. His father was a soldier in that company; last heard of in Baton Rouge, La., with the steamer Bounier. Any person knowing of him will please make it known through this paper. Mr. Chas. Bradley, of 906 Iron street, is in the junk business, selling and buying old iron. What makes him so successful is, we presume, his surrounding of Baptist preachers. He employs a number of hands, among which are three Baptist preachers, and still he is a Methodist. Mr. Frank Fowler Brown, the great tenor robusto, will appear at True Reformer's hall, Monday evening, February 5, 1906, under the management of the Lyceum Sketch Club. Mr. Brown was a great favorite with the ladies while he and his brother were singing at the Columbia, some time ago. Dear Editor—Please allow me space in your valuable paper to congratulate Miss Annie M. Edwards for the Dress den notes, that being my old home stead. Like to hear of the good things of that dear old place. Hope she will continue to send the notes to this white-winged messenger. A friend and a reader. Miss Georgia Hall, 912 South Third street. Chas. Brown, of 707 North Twelfth street, died December 25, 1905, having been sick for about four months. He was formerly a member of St. Paul's chapel, but lately became a member of wayman mission, 1111 Wash street. Rev. Cook preached the funeral sermon. He was buried December 27 at Greenwood cemetery. He leaves a wife, two daughters, one son, many grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn his loss. He was one of the oldest citizens of St. Louis. The Palladium has added to its list another lady, who will collect from morn until night, so please pay her. Some of our subscribers we have not seen or heard of for more than eight or nine months. This year, with Miss Olivia Richardson, Miss Frankie Walker and the manager, J. W. Wheeler, we will be able to see all of our subscribers and advertisers about once a month. so please have your change ready to pay the lady and make her happy. The motto of the National Rip Saw is: "Blind as a bat to everything but right." When girls or men can find time to spend five hours at night in a ballroom, skating rink, card playing and standing on the street at night, they are not worth 15 cents in nickels the next day. No man that wants a wife will expect to find her at a ball-room or card table. Such wives, if they get them, are only good time wives. One man is as good as another. Why young girls do not get married sooner is because they want a good time. Oh, yes, they get it soon. If men come to see girls they should know when to leave; 11:30 and 12 o'clock is no time, for such visits are only mutual agreements and the neighbors will soon talk. The lady that lives in the 1300 block on North Eighth street had better shinny on your own side and let married men alone. 3214 and 3216 are two bewitching females and some one said he would like to room at 3214 to be near 3216 providing—well you know. Birds of a feather will flock together. When you see a man in company with a tough, his stamp is upon the other. When a girl knows that another girl is any thing but a lady—why is it that they are always in their company. Answer—because she is no better than she. A WORLD OF PLEASURE, FUN AND SPORT. A skating rink is now open at Douglas hall, where young people enjoy themselves to their heart's content. There are many incidents that we might note, but as we once enjoyed ourselves on the ice, we render unto the young the same pleasure we had years ago. The manager seems to have things under control, yet the next day the girls and boys are not worth 15 cents, and their work is not what it ought to be. We went to the Jim Crow Skating Rink last Saturday night, and we were not surprised to see the buck-laws, penitentiary convicts, workhouse boarders and the confidence men and women. We saw an old grandmother that was learning to skate. Such is the crowds of the Jim Crow Skating Rink. Of course some persons were there who came to see others enjoy themselves, as it was all free doings. During the week we saw the real Jim Crow Nigger who would rather give their money to men who care nothing for them at any time, only what they can get out of them. The Palladium will point out these Jim Crow Niggers from time to time, for hell is lonely without them. 3137 PINE STREET. Last week the Pythian Hall Skating Rink was crowded to overflowing. Mr. A. A. Brooks is one of the most thoroughgoing business men in the city. He was the first to enter into a billiard and pool room without a saloon; he was the first to open a bowling alley for our people, and the first to mention a skating rink for our people, and they ought to patronize him as a business man of our race. We trust that people who have money for this kind of sport will give it to the support of his rink, and show that you appreciate his many efforts for our people. The Douglas Skating Rink should also be patronized. Mr. Jasper Hicks is manager at the Douglas Skating Rink. This rink is owned and controlled by Negro gentlemen and ladies, so we implore our people to spend their money that it will enable them to employ other young men and women. Now that our people are being employed by each other, let us do all we can for their interest. A. U. K. AND D. OF A. St. Joseph council of the above order met last Wednesday in their monthly meeting. The council is adding new members. Mrs. Josephine Jones, of Rising Sun council, East St. Louis, Ill., made quite an impression upon all. She is without an exception one of the best women living. Mrs. S. A. Collins, M. S. W. Mistress of the west gave some wholesome instructions. Mrs. Julia Gibbs, M. E. L. of St. Joseph council, has shown that, she is of the right metal and in the right place. The members are very appreciative to the wholesome instructions they receive from her. If you want to know what the council of East St. Louis, Belleville, Ill., and St. Louis are doing, get the Palladium. The D. L. Martin Juvenile Lodge will meet this evening at Douglass hall at 2 o'clock. All are invited. J. W. W. Stop that Cough Picketts Cough Syrup. 2 The thermometer at 20 below.

Allen has just returned from a lecture trip to Boston, where he was invited to address the Boston Literary association, the oldest and most influential organization of its kind in the "Hub." The address, the subject of which was "The American Negro and Modern Education," was received with rounds of applause from a large and appreciative audience, and was widely commented upon by the press. Among those who took part in the discussion following the address were Editor W. A. Trotter, Rev. W. N. Scott, Rev. J. W. Hill, Dr. C. G. Steward, Lawyer C. C. Morgan and Mrs. Frederick. The last two mentioned will be remembered as Miss souhaites, formerly residents of St. Louis. Very proud and happy were they to welcome such an able representative from their former state. Dr. Allen entered Boston by way of Niagara Falls and Canada, and returning, stopped in New York and Washington. Prof. Elliff, inspector of high schools that articulate with Columbia University, was the honored guest of the institution a few days since. The entire day was spent in the various class rooms, and he stated on leaving that, although he had spent twenty-five years in Missouri, during which time he had been officially connected with the schools, he had had no idea that such high class work—and such thorough work—was being done in the institution.

How It Often Happens from Coffee. "I had no idea," writes a Duluth man, "that it was the coffee I had been drinking all my life that was responsible for the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute nervousness which unfitted me not only for work but also for the most ordinary social functions. "But at last the truth dawned upon me and I forthwith bade the harmful beverage a prompt farewell, ordered in some Postum, and began to use it. The good effects of the new food drink were apparent within a very few days. My headache grew less frequent, and decreased in violence, my stomach grew strong and able to digest my food without distress of any kind, my nervousness has gone, and I am able to enjoy life with my neighbors and sleep soundly o'nights. My physical strength and nerve power have increased so much that I can do double the work I used to do, and feel no undue fatigue afterwards. "This improvement set in just as soon as the old coffee poison had so worked out of my system as to allow the food elements in the Postum to get a hold to build me up again. I cheerfully testify that it was Postum, and Postum alone that did all this, for when I began to drink it I threw physic to the dogs.'" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Quinney, Ill., Jan. 19.—Fire which, Thursday, started in the livery stable of Fred E. Harnst destroyed the huge plant of the J. B. Schoo Saddlery Co., consisting of five brick buildings ranging from three to five stories in height. Flames spread across the street and almost completely destroyed the city hall, a handsome building, four stories in height. The wholesale store of the Aldo-Sonmer Drug Co. was badly damaged by fire and water. Several persons were slightly injured by the falling walls of the school building. Eight horses were burned in the Harnst stables. The total loss exceeds $300,000; insurance is nearly equal. The city records were in the vaults and are believed to be preserved. NEBRASKA PRAIRIE FIRES Nearly Five Hundred Square Miles of Ranch Lands in Western Nebraska Swept Clean. Sidney, Neb., Jan. 19.—Nearly 500 square miles of prairie ranch lands were Thursday and Thursday night burned over by the worst prairie fire seen in western Nebraska for a decade. Now there are only burned stubble and wrecks of ranches where last week there was one of the finest grazing and agricultural districts in all western Nebraska. While many houses were destroyed, there has been no reported loss of life, although entire families may have been wiped out in the burned district. Thousands of head of livestock are dead and the barren prairie is scattered with their carcasses, while many houses are wrecked and the occupants are homeless. A NEGRO'S TERRIBLE CRIME Miss Florence W. Allison, Spinster, Assaulted and Murdered By a Negro Near Moorestown, N. J. Moorestown, N. J., Jan. 19.—Miss Florence W. Allinson, about 35 years of age, who was living in the farm house on the country seat of Mrs. E. R. Strawbridge, near here, was found dead in the stable. Thursday, with a strap fastened about her throat and her skull crushed. Beside the body lay the club with which she had been killed. The only other occupant of the house at the time was Bessie Walker, a child six years of age, from whom it was learned that a tall negro had called at the house a few minutes after Miss Allinson had gone to the stable to feed the cow. He told the child to go into the attic and play and she did so. Then he ransacked the house, securing some jewelry and money. The negro then went to the stable, and after assaulting Miss Allinson killed her and made his escape. THE HOLLISTER TRAGEDY New Light On the Terrible Tragedy That Recently Shocked Chicago, Jan. 19.—Mrs. Frank G. Hollister, whose brutal murder by Richard Ivens has aroused Chicago, was held a prisoner in an empty house in Montana street, for hours before she was killed, by a gang of five young hoodlums, of which her slayer was one, according to a story which has just been told the police. The story, which is one of convincing detail, confirms the theory upon which Mrs. Hollister's family and the members of the Wesley church, in the choir of which she sang, have insisted from the first. The story was told to a friend by one of the degenerate youths, while in his cups, who had taken part in the attack upon the woman. A POISONING CONSPIRACY Former Gov. Peabody, of Colorado, His Wife and Daughter Mysteriously Poisoned. Denver, Col., Jan. 19.—A special to the News from Canyon City, Col., says: Former Gov. James H.

The governor and Mrs. Peabody, although quite ill for several hours, recovered sufficiently to devote their attention to the daughter. SMALLPOX AT ALGECIRAS Knowledge of Its Existence Has Caused a Flutter Among the Diplomats. Algeciras, Spain, Jan. 19.—Active telegraphing is going on between the ambassadors and their respective capitals. Something of a flutter was caused among the diplomatists, Thursday, by the news that smallpox exists here. Rear-Admiral Sigsee, who learned this fact from the authorities at Gibraltar, issued an order forbidding any one belonging to his squadron to go ashore at Algeciras Charles H. Sawyer, Cartoonist. Muscogee, I. T., Jan. 19.—Chas. H.

THE BOY JESUS Sunday School Lesson for Jan. 21, 1906 Specially Prepared for This Paper. LESSON TEXT.—Luke 2:40-52. Memory verse, 51. Read also Matt. 2:13-23, and Luke 2:39. GOLDEN TEXT.—Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."—Luke 2:52. TIME.—The parents of Jesus probably returned from Egypt and went to live at Nazareth some time in B. C. 3, in which place Jesus remained until A. D. 26, save as He went up to Jerusalem to the Pass- over feasts, the first mention of which is in our lesson when Jesus was 12 years old. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES.—For indications of Jesus' love and nature of nature Matt. 5:11, 6:26-30, 7:16-20, 24-27; 8:20, 9:36-38, 13:3-9, 14:23, 14:23; 21:33; 8:20, 9:21; Luke 5:16, 6:12; John 3:8, 6:15-10:16, 15:1-16:18, 1.2.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 40. "And the child grew, and waxed" (because by natural progressive growth) "strong." Referring to his bodily development in size and strength. "In spirit" is an insertion by some early copyist, from Luke 1:80, and is therefore omitted in both revisions. "Filled with wisdom." Not already full, but "in course of being filled with wisdom, mind as well as body being subject to the law of growth."—Expositor's Greek Test. "And the grace of God." Grace is originally that which gives pleasure, as loveliness of form, the graces of character, and the virtues in their loveliest aspect. Hence, the grace of God was his favor which "was upon him," in which he lived and breathed, and which produced all that is beautiful in character and heavenly in life, guarding from evil. V. 41. "His parents went to Jerusalem every year." Like deeply and wisely religious people they did not neglect the great religious meetings. "At the feast of the passover." The greatest religious feast of the Jews, commemorating the birth of the nation. See Ex. 12:13-20; 23:15; Deut. 16:16. V. 43. "And when they had fulfilled the days." The seven days of the Passover (Ex. 12:15; Deut. 16:3). "As they returned," were returning. "Knew not of it." Showing the perfect trust they had learned to show their boy. V. 44. "In the company" with whom they made the journey. "And they sought him." "It was probably when the caravan halted for the night that he was first missed." V. 45. "They turned back again." A slugue act. "Seeking him." A continued act, lasting all the way to the city. V. 46. "After three days." Reckoned from the departure of the caravan from Jerusalem: one for the journey out, one for the return, and one for the search in the city. "They found him in the temple." Not in the temple proper, but in one of the porches or chambers of the temple area, and belonging to the temple. "Sitting in the midst of the doctors." The teachers, eminent rabbis who at this season would be discussing the great questions of the day. "Hearing them, and asking them questions." Very much as in a Bible class of to-day. He was not putting himself forward, but was doing what was natural and proper for any boy. V. 47. "Astonished." Amazed, i. e., thrown into a maze or labyrinth. V. 48. "And when they (Joseph and Mary) saw him they were amazed." "Used of glad amazement."—Thayer. They had not dreamed of such honor to be given to their boy, or of such wisdom, such thoughts in the active, obedient, modest, perhaps reticent boy in their household. V. 49. "And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me?" Why did you go about the city searching for me? "Why did you not come directly here?" "Wist ye not." Knew ye not. "That I must be about my Father's business?" In the Greek the noun is omitted. "In the of my Father." "in the affairs of my Father, and, therefore, in the house of my Father."—Eva Greek Test V. 51. He "was subject unto them," to his mother as well as to his father. The form of the expression "was" with a participle, indicates continuous, habitual credence. He was obedient to his parents, as every child should be. There is no manliness in disobedience, or in resenting the control of parents or teachers, any more than in disobeying the laws of nature or the laws of the land. It is both weakness and folly to disobey. It is ignoble to obey from compulsion, driven to obedience by fear, or impelled to it by a bad character or unruled desires; but a loving submission because it is right, because one chooses to obey, impelled by love and trust,—that is noble and manly. Especially is this true of obedience to mothers. V. 52. "When youth grows in the sunlight of God's grace, manhood bears fruit in his glory."—S. S. Times. Pointed Paragraphs. Promotion cometh by sticking to business. Victory always lies on the farther side of the conflict. It is not our trials that test us, but the way we meet them. He who is willing to do anything will not long wait for anything to do. will not long wait for anything to do We can walk through the furnace of fire if the one like unto the Son of God walks with us. Has God kept the sun in the heavens all these thousands of years and will he not keep thee, oh thou of little faith? - United Presbyterian Not on the Bill. He was a stout, pudgy individual hablable to be irritated early in the morning, evidently subject to indigestion, and he walked into the dining-room in anything but good grace. The hotel was new and the prices were not mellowed. Their stuff front "riled" the guest still more. Turning to the freshly imported, white-haired mummy at his side, he said: "I can't you people any conscience here?" Gtting no answer, his face grew red, and he blurted out; "Conscience!' Conscience!' Have you no "conscience—conscience—conscience bees?" conscience—conscience—conscience here? "Eeet eef not on zebills eeet eees charge extra for," suavely replied the importation. -Pittsburg Dispatch. An Atchison girl who works down town for three dollars a week bought a Christmas present for her young man that cost six dollars—a hair brush. And that is love, too. -Atchison Globe. Don't Wait. Hanna, Wyo., Jan. 15th (Special)—Delays are dangerous. Don't wait until all the awful symptoms of Kidney Disease develop in your system, and your physician shakes his head gravely as he diagnoses your case. If you suspect your kidneys, turn at once to the great Kidney Specific—Dodd's Kidney Pills. You can do so with every confidence. A few of Dodd's kidneys is taken in time he has saved many a life. In the past, your kidney disorder may be the forerunners of Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Dropsy. Mr. W. H. Jeffries, a resident here, tells below how he treated an attack of Kidney Trouble. He says: "Before I commenced taking Dodd's Kidney Pills, I had always a tired feeling every morning when I got out of my bed, and my Kidneys were in very bad shape. There was always a dull heavy pain. I was often told to stoop. I took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the tired feeling and back pains have entirely gone, and I am now cured." The general consensus of masculine opinion has always been that intellect was the most desirable quality in a man, and the most undesirable in a woman. FOUR YEARS OF AGONY. Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh —Had to Use Crutches—"Cuticura Remedies the Best on Earth." "In the year 1899 the side of my right foot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physician who had charge of me was trying to sew up the side of my foot, but with no success. At last my whole foot and way up above my calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suffered untold agencies for four years, and tried different physicians and all kinds of ointments. I could walk only with crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw a change in my limb. I then began training for Ointment often during the day and kept it in my mouth months, when my limb was healed up just the same as if I never had trouble. It is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the best on God's earth. I am working at the present day, after five years of suffering. The cost of Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $8; but the doctors' bills were more like $600. John M. Lloyd, 718 S. Arch Ave., Alliance, Ohio, June 27, 1905."

DID A WORLD OF GOOD DID A WORLD OF GOOD Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cure Heart Pains, Dizzy Spells and Weakness. Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is what most sufferers think of dyspepsia. They are astonished when their stomach begins to trouble them seriously. They had been eating hurriedly and irregularly for a long time, to be sure, but they supposed their stomachs quite used to that. Some people know that the strength which the weak stomach needs, and for the lack of which the whole body is suffering, can be found surely and quickly in Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In hundreds of instances these pills have succeeded where other remedies failed. "My indigestion," said Mr. J. R. Miller, of Dayton, Va., " came in the first place from the fact that a few years ago I worked a great deal at night, and ate at any odd hour whenever the chance came, and always very hurriedly. One day I found myself a victim of terrible dyspepsia. It kept me miserable all the time for several years. "I always had a great deal of distress after eating, and when I got up from my sleep my stomach would be so weak that it would hardly take any food. I had very uncomfortable feelings about my heart, and was dizzy and, whenever I stoope over and then straightened up, my eyes would be badly blurred. "I read the statements of several persons who had got rid of obstinate stomach troubles by using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I bought some and they did me a world of good. They acted promptly and did just what was claimed for them. I have no more distress after meals; the bad feeling has gone from the region of my heart; the alarming dizzy spells have disappeared, and I am strong again." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists and by the Dr. Williams Medicina Co. Scheunctec. N.Y. One Time That the Arch Tempter Failed to Accomplish His Miss Clara Logan, and Queen Titania, of the Asbury Park baby parade, sat by a log fire telling stories of children, relates the Washington Post. "A lady," she said, "reclined on a couch in her library one night, with the light low, trying in vain to go to sleep. "Beside her, on a table, was a dish of fine fruit. "As she lay there she saw her little daughter tiptoe into the room in her long, white nightgown. The child, thinking her mother asleep, advanced cautiously to the table, took a bunch of grapes, and stole one out. "The mother was grieved at such misconduct on the part of her good little daughter, but she said nothing. "Five minutes passed. Then back into the room again crept the child, the grapes in her hand and untouched. She replaced them on the dish, and as she departed her mother heard her mutter: "That's the time you got left, Mr. Devil." New Office. Orville Nemiss—How do you know we are going to have a storm?

Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. ROOSEVELT SAYS "Laziness and shiftlessness; these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than all acts of oppression of white men put together. The Colored MAN WHO FAILS TO CONDEMN CRIME IN ANOTHER COLORED MAN, WHO FAILS TO CO-OPERATE IN ALL LAWFUL WAYS IN BRINGING COLORED CRIMINALS TO JUSTICE, IS THE WORST ENEMY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and unceasing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race then its future on this continent is secure. The stability and purity of the home are as vital to the welfare of the black race as they are to the welfare of every race.—Theodore Roosevelt. DR. W. D.
