At the beginning of the campaign, Oct. 1, it seemed as if many of the old men were not needed in the race, but time proved different. In coming down the stretch all the old men were to the front. C.

The following members of the board of regents visited the institution this week in a body: Hon. D. C. McClung, Hon. W. T. Carrington, Dr. A. Ross Hill, Hon. E. S. Wilson, Messrs. Nelson C. Burch, secretary of the board, and Oscar G. Burch, regent for a long term of years and intimately connected with the history and growth of the school. These gentlemen inspected the campus, buildings and departments and partook of a seven-course dinner prepared and served by one division of the cooking class, under the direction of Miss Ida Burrell, instructor of domestic science. The many expressions of satisfaction with the management and progress of the institution were very gratifying to President Allen, who has labored hard and unceasingly to build Lincoln Institute up into a great institution of learning that, irrespective of race or color, shall be second to none of its kind or class. Groves, the potato king, will deliver the principal address before the farmers' convention, Nov. 9. Mr. Groves always interests his audiences, and President Allen hopes that many will be present and help to demonstrate, by their presence and by the farm products which they may exhibit, that they and we as a people are alive to the value of agricultural pursuits, and that they have learned to sound the keynote of progress involved in a "Farmers' institute," which note is still further emphasized on page 13 of Lincoln Institute's catalogue for 1906-1907. Among the many, visitors of the week we note Miss Helen Burrell, instructor of domestic science in St. Louis and sister of Miss Ida. Miss Burrell's many friends in Lincoln Institute are always glad to welcome her and they hope her visits will be frequent.

The late Frederick Douglass speaks to the living young Negroes and tells them that the Republican party is our only refuge. We who have seen the reconstruction of the South since the war and noticing also the present condition of things, urge upon the Negro to stand fast. We ask this question: "Where can you go for safety?" When Christ was on earth and it seemed as if all his followers were leaving him, he turned to Peter, his beloved disciple, and said: "Will you go, too?" Whereupon Peter said: "To whom shall we go, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God, thou lasting life, to whom can we Therefore we who have burden in the heat of the dark know what the condition of were before and since the upon the Negro of America firm in the teachings and pr G.

This feat was accomplished by Commander Robert E. Perry, of the United States navy. The intrepid Arctic explorer failed to reach the north pole, as he had confidently hoped to do with his specially constructed vessel, the "Roosevelt," but he penetrated nearer to the pole than the duke of the Abruzzi expedition which had held the Arctic record, 86 degrees 34 minutes. What Commander Peary did and his experiences during the past year in the frozen north are rather briefly, but certainly vividly, summarized in a communication received by Herbert L. Bridgeman, secretary of the Peary Arctic club. This communication follows: The Letter. "Hopedale, Labrador, via Twillingate, N. F., Nov. 3—Herbert L. Bridgeman: 'Roosevelt' wintered north coast Grantland somewhat north Alert winter quarters. Went north with sledge February via Heckla and Columbia. Delayed by open water between 84 and 85 degree. Beyond 85 six days. Gale disrupted ice, destroyed caches, cut off communication with supporting bodies and drifted due east. Reach 87 degrees 6 minutes north latitude over ice, drifting steadily eastward. Returning, ate eight dogs. Drifted eastward delayed by open water, reached north coast Grantland in strained condition. Killed musk oxen and returned among Greenland coast to ship. Two supporting parties driven on north coast Greenland. One rescued by me in starving condition. After one week recuperation on 'Roosevelt' sledged west, completing north coast Grantland, and reached other land near 100th meridian. Homeward voyage incessant battle with ice, storms and head winds. 'Roosevelt' magnificent ice fighter and seaboard. No deaths or illness expedition. (Signed) "PEARLY" Interview with Bridgeman. After furnishing the contents of Commander Peary's report, Mr. Bridgeman said that the receipt of any news from the explorer now was quite a surprise to him, because he had supposed it had become too late in the season for Commander Peary to send news of his venture. Mr. Bridgeman added that the message spoke for itself, and that since he did not know more of the results of Commander Peary's effort to reach the pole than the public did, he could hardly comment upon the dispatch. There was little doubt, however, he said, that Commander Peary was coming home. This seems to be borne out by the routing of the dispatch. Hopedale, or Hoffenthal, is a Moravian mission station on the east coast of Labrador. Twillingite is a port on the east coast of Newfoundland. Mr. Bridgeman said the message was probably mailed by Commander Peary from Hopedale to the most accessible cable point. A Peary Backer Disappointed. Lenox, Mass.-Morris K. Jesup, of New York, who aided Commander Peary in fitting out his expedition, said that he had just heard from Secretary Bridgeman, who read to him over the telephone the message which he had received from Commander Peary. "It would be useless to deny that I am disappointed that Commander Peary failed to reach the pole," said Mr. Jesup, "but I am glad to know that he went so far, and especially that he is returning safe."

LESSON TEXT.—Matt. 26:17-30. Memory verses, 26 and 27. GOLDEN TEXT.—This do in remem- berance. TIME.—Thursday evening, April 5, A.D. 30. Five days after our last lesson, and two days after the previous lessons of this quarter. PLACE.—Au upper room in Jerusalem. Comment and Suggestive Thought. V. 17. "First day of . . . unleavened bread." The feast of unleavened bread, lasting for seven days, began immediately after the Feast of the Passover, which was celebrated one day. During these eight days the only bread eaten by Jews was that which was made without the use of yeast (leaven). V. 18. "To such a man." The original word indicates that the speaker knew. "The Master saith." The man was a disciple of Jesus. "My time is at hand." "The time for the culmination of my sufferings on earth." V. 19. "Disciples," Peter and John. "As Jesus had appointed them." They went to the city, recognized the man by his carrying a pitcher of water (Mark), and followed him home, where they were shown to his guest-chamber, an upper room furnished with table, couches and cushions, prepared by ceremonial cleansing for the celebration of the sacred feast. "Made ready the passover." Between three and five o'clock they took the lamb to the temple, where it was slain in the presence of a priest. V. 20. "When the even was come." Before sunset, which at that time of the year would occur about six o'clock. "Sat down." Reclined on couches, according to the custom which Jews had copied from the Romans. V. 21. "As they did eat." During the eating of the Paschal feast. "Verily." What he is about to say is of importance. "One of you shall betray me." These were the words of Jesus, who was sorely "troubled in spirit." V. 22. "Exceeding sorrowful." The disciples' sorrow was twofold. Their Master was to be betrayed to the enemies who sought his life, and one of their number was the traitor. "Is it I?" How much better this question than "Is it he?" V. 23. "He that dippeth. shall betray me." This did not point out the traitor, which all dipped into the same dish, but it emphasized the fact, so terrible to the mind of an oriental, that the betrayal would be especially heinous because it was the act of one who had eaten with him whom he betrayed. V. 24. "Goeth . . . as it is written." That Christ would give his life for men was predetermined by the counsel of God (Acts 2:23). It had been prophesied by Old Testament writers (Ps. 22; Isa. 53), but that did not lessen the guilt of the free agents who betrayed and crucified him. A proverbial expression pointing to a most terrible destiny. V. 25. "Judas answered." Judas was moved to repeat the question which the others had just asked: "Is it I?" "Thou hast said." The common formula of assent, equivalent to "You have stated the truth." V. 26. "As they were eating." The Passover Feast usually continued for several hours. There was time for free conversation. "Jesus took bread." "Blessed it." He asked God's blessing upon it, or, according to Luke, gave thanks. "This is my body." This represents my body. V. 27. "The cup." The third or fourth cup of the Passover service. "Gave thanks." From this the name Eucharist, meaning thanksgiving, is applied to the sacrament. "Drink ye all of it." Jesus wishes all those who love him to partake of this sacrament and participate in the blessing it symbolizes. V. 28. "This is my blood." Let this represent my blood. "For many." For all who will accept him as their Saviour. "For the remission of sins." One who truly takes Jesus to his heart is delivered from the power of sin; his life is made clean and pure. V. 29. "Not drink henceforth." This was his last meal with his disciples before he was crucified. "Drink it new." Will drink with you a new kind of wine, at a new kind of supper—even the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev. 19:7-9). V. 30. "Sung a hymn." Doubtless they chanted together the concluding portion of the Hallel (Ps. 118). Practical Points. V. 17. The leaven of sin must be cast from the human heart in order that the soul may keep the feast of God.—I Cor. 5:7, 8. V. 18. Let us rejoice to yield all we have and are to the service of Jesus.—Rom. 12:1. V. 21. Jesus is daily wounded by his professed friends.—Zech. 13:6; Heb. 6:6. V. 22. Self-distrust is becoming to the best of men, since only God's grace keeps him from foulest sin.—Ps. 139:23. V. 23. In the eyes of God and men treachery is one of the blackest sins.—Ps. 41:9. V. 26. The common things of daily life are used to teach us of Christ, so that we may be constantly reminded of him.—John 6:48; 7:37; 8:12. Uninteresting. "You say it was not an interesting oration?" "Not very interesting. The crowd was so orderly and did so very little sheering that you could hear every word of the speech." THE CHURCH AT WORK SIGNS OF REVIVAL IN BORNEO. SIGNS OF REVIVAL IN BORNEO. fears of Missionary Effort at Last Bringing Faith Abundant. For many years the island of Borneo was the field where the faithful missionaries of the Rhenish Missionary society saw the least fruit of their labors. Now Missionary Zimmermann sends the following joyful report from Kwala Kuron: "It really seems as if a change is at hand. In Tumbang Musang, on the Mirl river I received 41 heathen into the church on March 21. The glorious and blessed meeting was held in the home of the great chief. All the candidates for baptism received their instruction from the native evangelists, Hiskias and David. Among them were four chiefs of the Miris, whose subjects are ready to follow them. The aged chief, Tamangong Pandong, joins me in the firm hope that all Miris will believe in Christ within a few years. God grant it. The congregation at Musang, now numbering 51, has sprung into existence almost in a moment. In three months I expect to baptize a number of Miris." He also adds that the movement towards Christ is apparent in all villages of the Miris, and the chief, Nicodemus of Tumbang Manjol, who was baptized a short time ago, begs that a Christian school be started in his village. ZOROASTRAIN BELIEFS. The Supreme God is "Lord Wisdom." Who Rules with Six Archangels. The Zoroastrian faith acknowledges Drmabd, Ahura, Mazda, "Lord Wisdom" as the supreme god, with six archangels Amhesa Spenta, and a company of angels, Yazata, about him to rule and guide the world, explains A. V. Williams Jackson, in Century. The infernal host of flends and archfiends who war against heaven and strive to destroy the future life of man, is led by Anra Mainyu, the evil spirit. In discussing with these Zoroastrians the subject of the origin of evil, I found that they look upon the supreme being, Ahura Mazda, as comprising within himself the two powers of good and evil, namely Spenta Mainyu, the holy spirit, and Anra Mainyu, the evil spirit. This is similar to the monotheistic view held by the Parsis of India in opposition to the statement frequently made that Zoroastrianism is pure dualism. They believe also in the resurrection of the dead, which their faith has taught them since early times, and this doctrine is connected with the belief that there will come a Saviour or Messiah, called the Saoshyant. Summer Evangelism in Maine The New England Evangelical association sent some of its workers into Oxford county, Maine, during June. At the suggestion of Rev. B. S. Rideout, Congregational pastor at Norway, Evangelists MacPhie and Smith began their labors at Norway Lake. The few professing Christianity there were greatly quickened, and non-Christians decided to live a Christian life. At Norway Center the evangelists found a neat country meeting house and a small church organization, composed of farmers. Congregationalists, Adventists and Universalists harmoniously worship together. Here the workers met with the same hearty, cordial reception as at Norway Lake. Interest was deep from the start, and good work was done. East Stoneham, Bolster's Mills, Welchville, Paris Hill and West Summer were also visited, with good results.-Congregationalist. Stereopticon in China. Mr J. Blundy, itinerating in the Kienning district of China, showed his lantern slides to astonished crowds. The first night 100 came. The following evening the place was packed. "Oh, there will be more tomorrow," they said. But where would stand if they came? When night arrived the street itself was blocked with men who could not get in. An idol procession which had been passing up and down the street all day had to take another route. Quite 500 men witnessed the views one night. Some of these held up their Chinese lanterns to get a better view! A discordant chorus of voices cried out at once: "No want light! No want light!" No—they were hearing of "the true light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." Call to Torrey's Church. It is announced that Rev. A. C. Dixon, D. D., has accepted a call to the church in Chicago vacated by the resignation of Evangelist R. A. Torrey. Fox Cubs at Play. Almost all young animals play. It is one of the most charming sights imaginable to watch fox cubs amusing themselves outside the earth late on a summer evening. They not only roll and gambol like kittens or puppies, but they have also a game which strongly resembles a sham fight. Perhaps He Doesn't. "Mamma," queried four-year-old Bobby, "how does a deaf and dumb boy say his prayers when he's got a sore finger?" 1 That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. Artistic Marriage Certificates The smart wedding invitation or announcement is engraved as simply as possible nowadays, but if the bride wants elaborate treatment of her marriage certificate she can have it. These may be done by hand and beautifully illuminated on parchment or Japanese vellum, and some brides are having theirs framed and hung in the boudour. A Good Record. Out of all the external remedies on the market we doubt if there is one that has the record of that world-renowned porous plaster—Allcock's. It has now been in use for sixty years, and still continues to be as popular as ever in doing its great work of relieving our pains and aches. It is the remedy we all need when suffering from any ache or pain resulting from taking cold or overstrain. Allcock's Plasters are sold by Druggists all over the world. Point Won by Flattery. Gen. French, the English officer who represented that country at the recent French maneuvers, received the following letter after his triumphant return from the Boer war: "My Dear French: You are a great British general. I want your autograph; but, whatever you do, don't let your secretary write it." Needless to say, the boy got the autograph, and a signed photograph of his hero to boot. HAD TO USE A CANE. Weakened Kidneys Made an Elwood, Ind., Man's Back Give Out. R. A. Pugh, transfer business, 2020 North B street, Elwood, Ind., says: "Kidney trouble kept me laid up for a long time, and when I was able to be up I had to use a cane. I had terrible backaches and pain in the shoulders. The kidney secretions were dark colored. After doctoring in Kinney trouble keep me laid up for a long time, and when I was able to be up I had to use a cane. I had terrible backaches and pain in the shoulders. The kidney secretions were dark colored. After doctoring in vain, I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Three boxes cured me entirely, and I am glad to recommend them."

James Mill, his father, was a hard man, a clever man, and a crank—a hedonist capable of making himself thoroughly disagreeable about the greatest happiness of the greatest number; a theorist who regarded his clever son as a suitable object for educational experiments. He would not send him to school because schools were the fortresses of "prejudice," and taught the wrong things in the wrong way. He provided him with no playmates, and allowed him no holidays, lest "the habit of work should be broken."—Francis Gribble, in Fortnightly Review. NERVOUS COLLAPSE Sinking Spells, Headaches and Rheumatism all Yield to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Cedar street, Quincy, Ill., says: "Ever since I had nervous prostration, about thirteen years ago, I have had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. The doctor said my nerves were shattered. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. At the beginning my strength would come back in a moderate time after each attack, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch. I had dizzy feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery after eating, hot flashes, nervous headaches, rheumatic pains in the back and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really feared that my case was incurable "When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills my appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted to a degree that I had not experienced for years and my strength returned. The fainting spells left me entirely after I had used the third box of the pills, and my friends say that I am looking better than I have tone for the past fifteen years." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recommended for diseases that come from imoverished blood such as anemia, rheumatism, debility and disorders of the nerves such as neuralgia, nervous prostration and partial paralysis. They have tured the most stubborn indigestion. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills agree with the most delicate stomach, quiet all nervousness, stir up every organ to do its proper work and give strength that lasts.

But I have never seen a Negro whose father was a Democrat. The Palladium man has a coop of roosters and chickens all ready for next week. Several so-called Negro Democrats have been around, and we hope they will not stead them on Tuesday next. Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, asks that the republicans give him a working majority in the house of representatives and the senate. The rest will be left for him. In the state of Missouri the representative and the senator should be elected, that they may be on guard for our protection. Let us do our duty. Dr. Jules Baron is the Republican nominee for coroner of St. Louis. The Negro voters should remember that Dr. Baron represents the principles of the party that gave the Negro freedom, and it is the party that stands for the rights of all men to cast one vote, so let notning but Republicans be on guard. The Democratic Idea. "The white people of the Southern states where the Negroes constitute a large proportion of the population are determined to nullify the Fourteenth Amedment to the Constitution of the United States so far as they can. White people of the South are going to rule without regard to numbers or Federal laws. They are the superior race, the only race that is fit to control the government of any country, whether it be the United States, the Philippines, the West Indies or Africa itself."—Memphis Democratic daily paper. The Palladium stands for those who represent the principle of the Republican party. These men go to Washington to assist our Republican president to carry out the principles of the party. In St. Louis three men are candidates—Harry M. Coudery of the Twelfth district, Henry S. Caulfield of the Eleventh district, Richard Bartholdt of the Tenth district. These men, when in Washington, will assist the Republican work. Then let us not only vote and send them there, but get others to do so and on the 6th of November we will send from these three districts three good and tried Republicans that will be a great help to our race. The negro that can vote against a Congressman will steal, cheat and lie, and such men are dangerous to any community. LETTER TO THE COL- ORED VOTERS OF ST. LOUIS. In the nomination of the Hon.

Manton for clerk of the St. Louis Court of Criminal Correction you will be showing your appreciation of having a friend in the office where so many of our people come more or less in contact.

M. C. A. NOTES. After the Bible class at 4 p. m. was concluded, Rev. Harvey R. Onque, of Little Rock, Ark., gave a very instructive lecture on the subject, "Ideals." The managers of the congress are much delighted with the success with which it is meeting. Last Tuesday evening was ladies' night, when everyone seemed highly delighted. Miss H. Moman's talk on the "Duty of the Young Ladies to the Y. M. C. A." was highly appreciated, as shown by the hearty applause. The last Tuesday night in the month is ladies' night. The Halloween party conducted by the Woman's Auxiliary to the Y. M. C. A., which took place on last Wednesday evening, was from every point of view a very grand success and highly delightful, being attended by a large number of the best people of St. Louis and East St. Louis. Quite a credit to the projectors, "The Helping Hands." We extend to Mrs. S. M. Barratt and her staff of co-workers a very hearty welcome to come any time and bring that good and cheerful sunshine which we so much need in our daily life. Rev.

Louis Nolte, the republican nominee for sheriff of St. Louis, is the right man for the office. He is a manly fellow of Rooseveltian ideas. In fact he is one of President Roosevelt's stanchest supports for another term in the presidential chair. He is a young man null of life and ambition, and has made a success in life, although only 35 years of age. He was born in St. Louis in 1871, and has resided in this city all his life. He started to work at an early age for August Gehner & Co., the real estate firm, and remained in their employ 12 years. Saving enough to start for himself, he is at present the senior member of the firm of Nolte & Willmann, at 2207 North Broadway, doing nicely in the real estate business. Two days before the republican convention he had no idea of receiving the nomination, for sheriff. He was never a candidate for the position until his party called him, and in answering that call he believed he was doing his duty. He was heartily indorsed by Congressman Bartholdt, Otto Stifel and all the republican leaders. He is a personal friend of President Roosevelt, and received a congratulatory wire on his nomination for sheriff of St. Louis. The Helping Hand Society. Meets the first Tuesday in each month.

LOUIS PALLADIUM A school girl who lives on LaSalle street had better let a certain fellow alone, for the light-haired lady that he goes on on Beaumont street has caught on to them, and she is going to make it hot for her. The school girl rings him up every evening, but he does not pay her much attention. The drug store will certainly get tired of this same young girl, because she has made herself very common. The young lady on Beaumont street seems to be very attractive. She has fretted many of the young girls about their beaux Negro ministers of the Gospel who have charge of our large churches, both Baptist and Methodist, should keep out of politics. If they wish to instruct their congregations, it should be done from the pulpit and not in ward meetings. Mark the prediction of the Palladium; if you do so, you will get mud on you. Well, we see the married lady is out of town, and the proprietor is very much worried, but we guess he will live in hopes of early return. Perhaps her husband has caught on to them and will keep her out of St. Louis. Why is it that Negro girls do not keep their places? They tell their mother that they are going to a certain place, and then go to some restaurant or store to hide and chat with common Negroes. Our hospital nurses should be more careful and not stop and chat with young men on the street and especially Jefferson avenue. They should be more like the Catholic sisters than like the rabble. The former resident on Lawton avenue got into a muddle with another girl at school, and the fellow told her that he cared nothing for her any more. That's a hard pill to take. The Negro girls who go out at night and come in at 2 o'clock in the morning—then cann't go to work or school the next day, are taking their ducks to a bad market. When girls leave school at 2:40 and don't get home till 5 o'clock, does the mother care to know where they have been. No, they seem to stand in with them. Some woman in the 5100 block on Lindell avenue has changed her place of meeting her H. or her P. It is now on Walnut street. We will get you in due time. Young women should find other places to go after 7 o'clock at night, rather than drumming up trade by acting cunning. Well, the young dude called "Pudden" has a two-cent job. Good for him; perhaps the young lady can quit now. We think the girl on Pine street has got the young dude all to herself, as the Lawton avenue girl is, is, well 2734 Morgan Street.

Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Shepherd of 2617 Sheridan avenue, entertained the Chrysanthemum club last Thursday evening in their regular monthly meeting. Refreshments were served in abundance.

Forward boys, we're going in to lick them. "The Negro vote is a purchasable one."—Senator Tillman. The democracy is disrupted and on November 6 will be completely routed. The danger which threatens our national life is the Democratic disregard for law. Remember that Southern Democrats burn Afro-Americans at the stake for alleged crimes. The elections of the South are setled in the "white primary." The Afro-American has no equal in them. The Republican party recognizes ability and rewards it accordingly. All Afrq-Americans look alike to Democrats. "If we can't get the Negro out of politics peacefully and legally, by the eternal gods we'll do it anyway."—Senator Tillman. Be sure to make a vigorous fight for the Republican candidates for congress in every district. A Republican congress is needed to uphold the president. Take off your coat and work for your Republican Congressional nominee until the evening of November 6; then we can shout and yell until we are hoarse. Get a hustle upon yourself, see your neighbors and your neighbors' neighbors and induce them to vote for the Republican nominee for Congress in your district. "The Republican party has done more for humanity, for human liberty, and more for human progress than any other party since the stars first sang together."—Senator Fairbanks. As the boys in '61 buckled on the knapsack and clutched the gun, resolved that the government should be preserved, so to-day the same spirit animates them and their progeny. "The fact that apathy is general," says Speaker Cannon, "augurs well for the Republican party. The people are busy and satisfied. They want to leave well enough alone and when they are thus disposed they are not likely to change politics." No victory was ever won without a battle; remember that and fight for the Republican nominee for Congress from now until the polls close Nov. 6. Three million dollars is a great sum. That's what the Negroes who hold government positions draw every year under the Roosevelt administration. It is said that the Northern Democrat is opposed to the Southern Democratic injustice to the Negro. If so, he ought to fight it in the councils of the party. "Rally Around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Tillman, Vardaman, Graves & Co., and all the anarchists they can marshal. The colleges for the education of Negro youths in the South are crowded with students. Roosevelt prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. At a recent Democratic meeting one speaker declared: "The 'nigger' has no more right to the ballot than a 2-year-old child has with a pistol." That's straight Democratic doctrine. Remember Atianta and vote the Republican ticket. Election in the Southern Democratic states are huge swindles. The Democrats are making a campaign of charlatanry and false pretense. Democratic newspapers publish column upon column of matter slandering the Negro. Rally on the center; touch elbows; clutch arms; charge all along the line, and victory is ours. The Democracy has stripped the Negro of all his rights in the South by force and trickery. Do not be overconfident. It takes votes to win an election. See that your friends and neighbors vote the straight Republican ticket. The South would be poor today without the black toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen the black men's rights. "I do not think that the Negro should be permitted to participate in the government of the nation." Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi. There are many good white Democrats, but I have never seen a good Negro Democrat. Black men before you vote the Democratic ticket, remember that the people who burn your brothers at the stake in the South are Democrats. The Democrats of the South say that the Negro is unfit to travel in first-class cars and they have passed laws providing special "Jim Crow" cars for his accommodation. No Republican legislature has ever passed a separate car law. We must stand by law and order, we must stand by prosperity, we must stand by Theodore Roosevelt. Vote for a Republican Congressman. The progress of the Negro people in 30 years of freedom has been greater than that of any other race recorded in history. A great deal of this progress should be credited to the Republican party. It cost a million lives and a billion dollars to rid this country of the curse of slavery. The Democratic party hopes to take away the manhood rights of the Negro and reduce them to a state of vassalage. Speaker Cannon says that the great trouble in this campaign is the overconfidence of Republicans. The speaker is a level-headed man. In order to win, all true Republicans must work and work hard for the ticket. Some of the papers are putting foryard the plea that the election of a Democratic Congress would not do the country much narm. Such a proposition will not attract many voters. We want a Congress that can do some good. Do not sit down and dream that your Republican Congressman is sure of election. The enemy is wide awake and hustling. The only way to be sure of a Republican Congress is to work hard for the election of the Republican candidate in your district. Atlanta, Ga., the scene of the recent reign of blood, where innocent men and women were murdered by mobs because they were Colored, is a Democratic city. Every official is a Democrat, every policeman is a Democrat. Do not forget that when you are asked to vote for a Democratic Congressman. NOTICE! St. Louis, Nov. 2, 1906. To the Citizens of St. Louis: We appeal to you to go to the polls on the 6th of November and vote your convictions. The Republican party has presented for your suffrages a ticket composed of able and honest men, who will administer the laws in a fair and effective manner. The Republican party has also presented candidates for Congress who are able and willing to sustain and strengthen the federal policy, which has brought unparalleled prosperity to our country. The only danger is apathy. We must have a full vote of thoughtful and patriotic citizens to carry the state, city and congressional tickets to victory. You are urged to cast your vote early for the Republican ticket and thereby safeguard peace and progress in our state and city. REPUBLICAN CITY COMMITTEE. You vote at No. 3002 North Broadway. The Republican advisory committee of 200 heartily indorses the foregoing appeal. Executive Committee—Franklin Ferris, chairman; A. L. Shapleigh, William K. Bixby, Henry S. Caufield, Dwight F. Davis, Robert C. Day, John H. Gundlach, Isaac A. Hedges, John A. Laird, J. Lawrence Mauran, Charles A. Stix, Otto L. Teichmann, William C. Uhri, Thomas Wright, Amos Wright, Amos L. Seaman, secretary. Candidate for Sheriff. Louis Nolte, who is the nominee for sheriff, resides at 1129 Penrose street, and was born in this city about thirty-five years ago. Mr. Nolte began at the age of 13 with the August Gehner Realty and Investment Co., to learn the real estate business, and stayed with that firm until twelve years ago, when he started in the realty business himself, under the name of Nolte & Willmann, at 2207 North Broadway. He served as congressional committeeman from the Nineteenth ward for six years, and this is the first time he ever ran for any office. Mr. Nolte has been a benedict for about nine years. Mr. Nolte will get the entire vote of the republicans, and his republicanism can not be questioned. Let the Negro rally to his cause.

He is a native of Morgan county, Illinois, 56 years of age, and an academic and law graduate of Yale. He came to St. Louis in 1875 and has been prominently identified with the city's interests ever since. He came before the citizens of St. Louis as a true and tried republican. Now is the time to put another republican on guard. The Palladium stands for him because he is a republican. The voters of St. Louis should work and vote for Adolph H. Nast for clerk of the circuit court. He is a young genuine Republican. ```markdown ``` M. W. G. ```markdown ``` 127 N. 3rd St., East St.Louis, Ill Phone: Kin.

JUDGE ANARCHISTS HATED EXPIRED QUIETLY AT HIS HOME IN CHICAGO. Had Been on the Bench in Cook County Continuously for Forty-Three Years. Chicago—Judge Geary died here Wednesday. The specific cause of death was degeneration of the heart muscles. The judge held court as usual on Tuesday, but was not in his usual health Wednesday morning, and sent word that he would not hold court. He grew steadily weaker during the day and expired quietly about 2:30 o'clock. Judge Geary had been a member of the Cook county bar for 43 years, and was the oldest judge in point of service as well as in years. He occupied a judicial position longer than any man who ever sat upon the bench in this portion of the state. Judge Geary made a national reputation at the time of the anarchist trials in 1888, over which he presided. As the presiding officer at the trial he was repeatedly threatened with death by anarchist sympathizers, and showed wonderful physical as well as high moral courage during a very trying experience that continued for many months after the anarchists had been executed. He was born in Potsdam, N. Y., in 1821, was admitted to the bar in 1844, and practiced at Springfield, Mo., Las Vegas, N. M., and San Francisco, coming finally to Chicago in 1856. He was made a judge in 1863, and had been on the bench continuously since that time. REPORT GROSS EVILS. Maine Governor Asked to Peep Into the Sanford Community. Portland, Me.—The text of a petition which is being signed by the clergymen and prominent professional and business men of this city, including three former governors of Maine, asking Gov. William T. Cobb to investigate conditions at the Holy Ghost Colony at Shiloh has been made public. It is as follows: "In view of the persistent and seemingly well-authenticated reports of gross evils existing in the Sanford Community at Shiloh, resulting in suffering and injury to members of the community, especially little children, we, the undersigned, citizens of Maine, respectfully petition your excellency, if at all possible, to take such measures as your wisdom may dictate to ascertain the exact facts and abate the evils." The petition was drafted as the result of a conference of three Portland clergymen with Mrs. Alice Phelps, of Kansas City, Mo., who has been unable to persuade or force her daughter to leave the colony. Uncle Sam's Soldiers "Must Know Who They Are When Dead." Washington—Acting upon the recommendation of Surgeon, General O'Reilly, Acting Secretary Oliver has ordered that hereafter identification tags of aluminum the size of a silver half dollar, stamped with the name, company, regiment or corps of the wearer, be suspended from the neck of every officer and soldier underneath the clothing by a cord or thong. These badges will be issued gratuitously to enlisted men and at cost price to officers. Gen. Berry, acting chief of staff, states that there can be no question about the great importance of such badges as is demonstrated by the thousands of graves of unidentified dead of the civil war. THE PRESIDENT AT PINE KNOT. Has Two Shotguns and a Dog and Hunting is Open. Richmond, Va.-President and Mrs. Roosevelt, Surgeon General Rixey, Assistant Private Secretary Latta and a secret service man arrived at North Garden, about 16 miles south of Charlottesville, on the Southern railway, in a private car late Wednesday afternoon, and Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and Dr. Rixey drove over to "Pine Knot" after dark. Two shotguns and a hunting dog went over to "Pine Knot" in the wagon with the baggage. The hunting season opens at Albe-marle today. Coughed Up Confederate Lead Portland, Ore.—in a violent fit of coughing, shortly before his death, at a local hospital, H. L. Mills, an Oregon pioneer of 1876, and a nephew of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the confederate army, raised from his lungs a buckshot that he had carried in his body since the civil war, when, as a member of the Fifteenth New York Engineer corps, he fought against the army commanded by his mother's brother. The old veteran often complained that "something hurt him" in the lungs. Standard Move in Kansas Topeka, Kas.—Earl Evans, of Wichita, attorney for Seandard Oil Co., has filed a motion in the supreme court to make more definite and ascertain the position of the state in its suit declaring the Standard a trust.

"Corporations Have Come to Stay, as Has Organized Labor." Providence, R. I.-Atty. Gen. William H. Moody, in an address here, said: "Corporations have come to stay, as has organized labor. "Let us not condemn either, but let us rather say that it is just and right that they must obey the laws of the land." In discussing the charges against the Standard Oil Co., Mr. Moody said: "What we are trying to get at is the truth, and until we get the truth, I shall make no charges against that company. Then all the wealth in the country cannot stand against the law of the land." A large audience was present, made up not alone of republicans, but of democrats and independents. A great many members of organized labor were also out to hear Mr. Moody. NATIONAL BANK MONEY. Circulation Increased Almost $60,000, 000 During Past Year. Washington—The monthly circulation statement of the comptroller of the currency shows that at the close of business Oct. 31, 1906, the total circulation of national bank notes was $583,171,985, which is an increase as compared with Oct. 31, 1905, of $58,763,736, and an increase for the month of $9,268,877.

Richmond, Va.—The president, Mrs. Roosevelt and Surgeon General Rixey, at Pine Knot, got up early and started on a hunt for wild turkeys. The president has never potted a wild turkey, and it is his ambition to add one to his record. Some of his neighbors, it is reported, undertook to play a joke on him by turning a flock of domestic turkeys of the mammoth bronze variety into the woods, driving them so that they would fall prey to the president's gun, but Roosevelt would have none of the domestic birds. The hunting party returned to the lodge for a late dinner. Jury Gave Them $25,000 New York—The jury awarded $25,000 to Sam Shubert's father and mother. Shubert was killed in a wreck on the Pennsylvania railroad at Harrisburg on May 10, 1905, and his father and mother brought suit against the railroad company for $250,000 damages. At 18 a bellboy, Sam Shubert died at 28, and head of a partnership which controlled nearly half a hundred theaters in the United States and England, and a large number of prosperous and successful theatrical companies on the road.

He has raised three crops of corn on one piece of land in the last fifteen months. Each crop yielded not less than fifty bushels to the acre. He does not have to wait for the ground to thaw in the Spring. Almost as soon as he harvests one crop he can plant for the next. He is not afraid that the weather will be too wet or too dry or too cold. He waters his land by irrigation and has an inexhaustible supply of water. If you will write Mr. Closner at Hidalgo, Texas, he will tell you more about this country. There have been many other instances of remarkable success in the Gulf Coast Country, of which I will be glad to tell you upon request. Wouldn't you like to have a small farm there where success does not depend on uncertain weather with irregular rainfall? Now the land is cheap and you can get it on easy terms. Twenty acres will cost you about $500. The cost of clearing it is about $5 an acre. The cost of water for irrigation varies. You may want an artesian well of your own; you may get water from some river; or you may get it from your neighbor. But the cost is not great, and those who have tried it have netted from the first crop a sum which has paid all expenses and left a good surplus.

There was no in- ication of exceptional talent, ability, or endowment about her, no evidence of superiority, but @ certain indefina- ble distinction, It was not quite an air of conquest, though suggestive of satisfactory achievement. She bore her head high and wore a Buddha- like expression of proud serenity. Only a moment was she settled in her seat when off came her gloves, and then the key to the problem was evident. The long, joyous look be stowed upon the sparkling ring on the third finger of her left hand told the story. ‘That left hand had a busy time. It investigated the lingerie hat poised coquettishly over the face of one no longer young, it made sure that her brooch was fastened, it pulled her silken skirts closer about her, it tightened the straps to her traveling bag sitting im the aisle, and so on indefinitely, occasionally pausing for a caressing glance from the tired but beaming eyes. ‘The gay little scintilations from the diamond flashed out the song: “En gaged—engaged—engaged!” SAVED BABY LYON’S LIFE, Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com plaint, Infantile Eczema—Mother Praises Cuticura Remedies. “Our baby had that dreadful com. plaint, infantile Eezema, which affict ed lim for several months, commene ing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His suffer ings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him re liet. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we could say In their favor, for they cer tainly saved our baby’s life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1826 Appleton Ave. Parsons, Kan., July 18, 1905.” DRIVEN TO GET RELIGION. Reason for Close-Fisted Man's Attend- ance at Church. A New Hampshire man tells of a tightfisted man of affairs in a town of that state, who until recently had never been observed to take an-in- terest in church matters, Suddenly, however, he became a regular attend- ant at Divine service, greatly to the astonishment of his fellow towns- men. “What do you think of the case of old Ketchum?” seid one of the busi- ness men of the place to a friend. “Is it true that he has got religion?” “Well, hardly,” replied the other, with the air of one who knows. ‘The fact is, it’s entirely a matter of bust- ness with him. Iam in a position to know that about a year ago he loaned the pastor $50, which the latter was unable to pay. So there remained nothing for Ketchum but to take it out in pew rent.”—The Sunday Maga- zine. Infant Trained to Steal.

OO OOrOnOnOnOnOnOOne Charged With a Murder. Warrensburg.—Deputy Sheriff Louis Geer has returned from Chicago, hav- ing in charge Frank Sassaman, charg- ed with the killing of Carl Miller, near Holden, about two years ago. About a year ago a woman giving her name as Annie Bentley, a domestic, of ‘Topeka, Kas., went to Holden and in- formed the officers that she and Robert Sassaman, in November, the year before, traveling from St, Louis to Kansas City in a wagon, near War- rensburg were overtaken by Carl Mil- ler, an old man, who owned a good wagon and team. They traveled in company until one night they camped near Holden, when Miller was killed and his body sunk in an abondoned well. ‘The officers, on investigation, found the body. An effort was made to cauture Sassaman in Kansas City, Kas, but he evaded them. Nothing was heard of him until Officer Geer re- ceived a letter several days ago, in which a St. Louis woman stated where Sassaman could be found in Chicago. His arrest followed. Sassaman im- mediately acknowledged his identity, and came back without requisition papers, He acknowledge that he was with Annie Bentley near Holden when Miller was killed, but he asserts that he didn’t do it. | Mtnn Pechebie: Gease: Joplin—Impressed with the idea that he had revealed the secret work of the Masonic fraternity in a dream, and that he was marked for assassina- tion through a vow taken in every Ma- sonic lodge room in the world, J. C. Hudson committed suicide here by drinking carbolic acid and cutting his throat. The first known of his halla- cination was when he told it to the physician called to attend him.

His work day does not begin until that of the average city man is over. In the morning he goes out, preferably on his bicycle, returning in time for early dinner. Then he has a comfortable sleep, and on waking up, late in the afternoon, he prepares for business, After a cup of tea he goes to his desk and remains working at his play until far into the night. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces- sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear- ing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using De- fiance Starch, as it can be applied tauch more thinly because of its great~ er strength than other makes. Experience is the father of wisdom and memory the mother—From the eke Chinese Postal Service Improves. Postal facilities in China are re- ported to be improving through the service on fast trains between Peking and Hankow. These are expected to make the run in 36 hours. Give Defiance Starch a fair trial— try it for both hot and cold starching, and if you don’t think you do better work, in less time and at smaller cost, return it and your grocer will give you back your money.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri- ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa- ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste ;. therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent e Medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. 4 e ° Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs ¢ ® always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in botties of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. i Os eS gee ee me eee.

The little pains, and other symptoms of womanly disorder, soon lead up to big things,—serious pains, serious diseases. It is for just these ordinary, common, womanly troubles, that the use of a gentle, strengthening, female tonic, like Woman’s Relief has been found so successful, in thousands of cases, in relieving and curing. ‘‘I had been troubled with female complaints for 12 months,” writes Mrs. Bettie Arp, of Ballplay, Tenn., ‘‘and although I was under doctors’ care for four months, they did but little good. I took one bottle of Wine of Cardui and one dollar’s worth of Thedford’s Black- Draught, and now I am better. I believe Cardui saved my life. We are poor people, but I shall always keep it in the house.’’ It relieves woman’s worst pains and regulates fitful functions. Try it.

SOMETHING NEW NATATORIUM ROLLER SKATING RINK. Its Founder, Manner of Construction and Operation. The Natatorium Roller Skating Rink, located at 2120 Market street, is one of the substantial signs of Negro progress in this city. It is large, well lighted and ventilated, and has one of the finest skating floors in the city. This rink was founded by Mr. A. A. Brooks, who opened and operated the Dumas rink last winter at the Knights of Pythias hall. Mr. Brooks, whose cut appears in this issue, met with many complaints with skaters at the Dumas rink, the chief fault being the small size of the hall. He resolved to meet the requirements of his patrons, and commenced looking around for larger quarters, and in his search came across the building now occupied. It was in very dilapidated condition, and realizing that the expense and responsibility of establishing a rink of the size of the Natatorium was more than he could carry alone, he set about forming a company, and after several months of untiring effort he succeeded in finding two men in the persons of Mr. Austin Williams and Mr. George Chandler who had confidence in the project. The company was formed, and with Mr. Geo B. Jones as secretary and business advisor, the work was commenced. The very best material was used, and the construction of the floor was commenced by Mr. Brooks, with the assistance of Mr. Austin Williams, and such labor as was required from time to time. Many obstacles were encountered and overcome. The police objected to the opening of the rink, coolely because they claimed there were so many bad Negroes in the neighborhood. This obstacle was overcome, and the police have had no cause to complain, as the rink has been conducted in a very orderly manner, and will be conducted so in the future. The best of order is enforced and good music furnished, with the hours for beginners in the morning. This rink is the only one owned and operated by Colored men, is a credit to the race and deserves the support of all who believe in the progress of their race.
