LANKFORD, Architect and Expert Builder, A MISSOURI NEGRO ON TOP. The Pioneer Negro Architect in the United States—J. A. Lankford as an Architect and Builder. Young Man Who Has and Is Giving His Entire Life to the Scientific, Practical and Mechanical Uplift of His Race. It is true that for the past decade there have been Negroes who have in small degree made plans and worked in schools and for a few white architectural firms as draftsmen, but not till some five years ago, when J. A.ANKford went to Washington and opened a first-class architectural and building office in the heart of the business section of the city, hung out in shingle, filled his office with drafting tables and architectural supplies and employed draftsmen, stenographers and clerks, was there ever a class Negro architectural office in United States. Mr. La Bord's office is today located at 317 10 avenue northwest, Washington. He has also 12 branch offices without the United States. he was the pioneer Negro in this entry to open a first-class archi- cultural office and today he stands as the leading and most prominent architect and builder we have. He has large three story and basement brick free building in the heart of the busi- ssion section of the District of Colum- nia, and here you will find his off- sessory laboratory and work shop. Mr. Lankford went to Washington and design and supervise the construction of the True Reformer building, the largest and most costly building of the kind designed, built, owned and operated by Negroes. This building of a classic design, being 100 feet long, sixty feet wide and four stories and basement in height, and is a very imposing structure. According to the True Reformer real estate report, it has been a success from a financial standpoint since its completion. In the construction of this building, Mr. Lankford worked all Negro mechanics, and this alone was enough to make him famous, for it revolutionized the work along mechanical lines for the Negroes in the District of Columbia. Since that time in the District of Columbia practically every door has been opened to the Negro mechanic, where they have proven themselves to be skilled. The government had at work a few months ago over twenty-Negro bricklayers on the war and agriculture and agricultural buildings. The True Reformer building was the strongest argument which proved that these bricklayers were perfectly competent and capable of doing any mass and character of brick work, and today the race has more skilled Negro mechanics in the District of Columbia than any other city in the Union. Mr. Frankford has not only revolutionized the mechanical work among Negroes and the District, but to a great degree added the Negro mechanics throughout the country; for in any locality where he happened to design or superse or build, he always works Negro mechanics, demonstrating the fact in that community that the Negro mechanic are fully competent to do any mass of architectural or mechanical work. The following are some of the buildings which Lankford & Bro. have designed, supervised or built during the last year: The Good Hope building, of a very classical Roman design, to be built in Baltimore, Md. It consists of a department store, printing office, opera house, drug store, laundry, office rooms and sixteen loergores for the good Hope order. It will cost $150, 000. St John's A. M. E. Church and personage, where the general conference of the A. M. E. Church will converse in 1908. Queen Street Baptist Church and parsonage and Ninth Street Baptist Church, all of which are in Norfolk, Va.; the overhauling and decorating of Emanuel A. M. E. Church, Portsmouth, Va.; a twenty-six room residence and three three-story flats for Dr. W. L. Taylor, president of the True Reformers; a residence for Dr. D. Webster Davis, the famous lecturer; the Southern Aid Insurance building and one three story flat and a twelve-room residence for lawyer J. C. Robinson, attorney and chief of real estate of the True Reformers. These buildings are in Richmond, Va. He also laid out the entire scheme and outline for Jonesboro, consisting of schoolhouses, churches, shops, factories and residences, the location of which is on 640 acres of land and about five miles south of Richmond. Dr. Jones of Richmond is president of the company. Lankford & Bro. have over $300,000 worth of work at schoolats his native home, Potosi, Mo., where he worked on a farm and in the mines, he studied seven years in the Missouri state college, Jefferson City, Mo., where he finished five trades, and took a special course in natural and chemical science. He then went to Tuskegee, where he finished steam fitting and foundry work and specialized in natural science and electrical work. He also finished an architectural and building course at Scranton, Pa. He has been connected as a teacher with three of the best Negro institutions in the south, having put in over $25,000 worth of machinery in the A. and M. college at Normal, Ala.; also put in over $100,000 worth of machinery in the Coleman cotton mills, Concord, N.C. This work was designed, supervised and put in by Mr. Lankford. The Hon. W. C. Coleman, in speaking of Mr. Lankford, recommending him to the president of Shaw university, said: "Mr. J. A. Lankford is the best Negro cotton mill mechanic in the United States, probably in the world." After finishing putting in the Coleman cotton mill machinery, he went to Shaw university as professor of naturay science and superintendent of the industrial department. Mr. Lankford has received three honorary degrees for meritorious work, the last being master of science from Wilberforce university in 1902, and was elected vice president at Topeka, Kas., of the National Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is president. He never depended on anyone to aid him through school, for he was born of poor, but honest parents, from whom he inherited many of his honest traits. He worked his way through Lincoln Institute as a janitor to pay his board, as an agent of a steam laundry to gete his laundry done and as an agent of the Plymouth Rock Pants Co., Boston, Mass., to get his clothing during the seven years he was in school. While at Tuskegee he worked in the foundry and steam-fitting department and as an amateur photographer to pay for his board, and if he is accomplished, he owes the cold world but a little for his many accomplishments. He has not only been successful as an architect and builder, but it is said he pays taxes on $25,000 worth of real estate in Washington, D. C. Every Negro in America should be proud of this young Negroe's accomplishments and see to it that he has a chance on designing and building of the many costly structures being designed and built in this country from the money of Negroes. Mrs. Alice Bruce, of 2626 Lawton avenue, arrived home from her visit in St. Joseph, Mo. OLIVIA RICHARDSON. ST.LOUIS,MO.,SATURDAY,AUGUST 31,1907. The Syndicates Lead. Mr. A. W. Wilkinson is still leading his team, the Syndicate Baseball club, to the front to capture the pennant of the Sporting League, as this team has defeated the Giants and the Imperials, the two strongest teams in the league, by letting them down with only one run. They have proven themselves to be the masters of baseball in the Sporting League. In defeating these two teams it puts them two games behind the Imperials and Giants, who are tied for first place, and to win this pennant they have to win every game played the rest of the season, which is ten, including three games with the Giants. Mr. Wilkinson's star pitcher, Russell Shaw, who is classed to be the greatest pitcher in this league, has won ten games out of twelve this season, with one shutout, which is a reputation that no pitcher has in this league, the shutout game being handed to the mighty Imperials, who the Syndicates defeated Sunday, allowing them only one run, which was given to them by Mr. Shaw. As the rest of the team were stars in supporting him to hand this team another shutout, and their new catcher, Crittenden, braced himself like a tiger at home plate and was crying for Shaw to throw the ball, but has was too anxious and failed to field the ball in time to cut the one and only run the Imperials could score. Mr. Wilkinson is delighted with his team, as under his management they are playing the greatest baseball of any amateur team in the state of Missouri. With the able assistance of Mr. J. D. Glass, as assistant manager and secretary, Mr. Wilkinson expects to have next season the finest Negro baseball park in the country. The Syndicates cross bats with the Oakdales Sunday, Sept. 1, at Keubler's park, 6100 North Broadway, and an exciting game is expected. The Syndicate Juniors, formerly the Banners, under the same management, are also playing great ball. They play the St. Louis Giant Juniors at Newport, Ill., Sunday, Sept. 1, in the Newport Brown park. In the latter game between the Syndicates and Imperials the crowd was so dense that ropes had to be stretched, this being the largest crowd that ever turned out to see wo N. teams play. Mr. and Mrs. James Greene of 1538 Gratiot street celebrated their twentieth anniversary Aug. 24, which was large attended. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, Mr. and Mrs. McCronico, Mr. and Mrs. Standard, Mr. and rMs. Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. E. MacDonald, Mr. and Mrs. Prior, Mr. and Mrs. Leach, Mr. and rs. Douglas, Miss P. J. and Mrs. Callie Ivy, Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Greene received many handsome presents. First Baptist Church News. The church services last Sunday was full of interest. Rev. R. H. Cole preached two great sermons (11 a. m. and 8 p. m.). The chapel was crowded each time. Owing to the fact that the auditorium of the church is undergoing repairs, the regular meetings for the last two weeks had to be held in the chapel, which is situated in the rear of the church, but it is hoped that the work will be pushed to completion as soon as possible, for it is a little annoying to the public to go out with the expectation of enjoying a good sermon, and when they get there they are turned away on account of failing to get seats. Miss Olia Montgomery is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. H. eKnt, of 3134 Lawton avenue. The public schools of our city will open Tuesday morning, September 3. POOR TUTOR WINS BRIDE. Newport Society Becomes Wife of Penniless Englishman. Newport, Aug. 30.—A million in cash is the dowry that Miss Lucette Marguerite Hutton brings to Harold Adye Pritchard, a poor English tutor. When their marriage took place the bride's gift from her father was check for that sum. Mrs. Pritchard is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gualm McRobert Hutton of Newport and Baltimore. Her husband was a teacher in a school at Bristol, Eng., and after a wedding tour of the United States he will take his bride there and resume his school duties. Disturbed by the spread of local option sentiment throughout the country, which has crystallized in statutes in a number of states placing the liquor traffic under the ban, brewers are formulating plans to resist the sweep.

The Greatest Reception Known in St. Louis. The reception that was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Abraham Lee, 1308 Clark avenue, last Wednesday night in honor of Miss Julia Johnson and brother of Jackson, Miss., and also Mrs. George Osborn of Vicksburg, Miss., was indeed the grandest social function that was ever witnessed in the cley before; in fact, from the size of the crowd, it seemed that the whole city was invited out to greet the visitors. Everything was made ready for the occasion, and Mrs. Nora Lee in her loving and good natured way was full of smiles from beginning to end. Shg gave everybody to understand that they were her friends and her house was their home for the present at least, hence it could be seen that each and every one present was as happy as they could be, and to enliven the situation while the hours flew by Miss Anna B. Thomas, one of our most notable young ladies and next-door neighbor, and Mrs. Sarah P. Phillips and others played several fine selections on the piano, while others were telling fish stories, etc. While this was in progress the visitors continued to pour in until the parlors on both floors and every available place was full. The gathering was one of the most representative one that is rarely seen anywhere, from the fact that doctors, lawyers, preachers, poets, schoolteachers church deacons and many others in similar walks of life all went to show the high estimation in which Mr. and Mrs. Lee are held among their friends in this city. Hence Mr. and Mrs. Lee spared no pain in mak- SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION. The Progressive Christian Spiritual union, under the leadership of Mr. J. S. Weatherford, Mrs. M. E.

A man loves a woman because he wants to. If he marries her it is be- cause she wants him to.” Julla Ward Howe says the world is growing better, but she is 88, and naturally can’t go out much. By the way, did you ever notice what your toes think when a fat woman ‘steps on them in the street car? Anyhow, the proposed society of the Sponsors of the United States navy will include a lot of pretty girls. It is said that Cleveland girls are smoking cigarettes to ward off mos- Guitoes. That is not all they will ward off. The overproduction of French wine, Benuine and bogus, is almost as fraught with peril as overindulgence of it. A Georgia man shot the postmaster because his mail was late. His de- fense will probably be “the unwritten letter.” A Buffalo preacher says that hell is full of peek-a-boo waists, so man can't dodge the job of buttoning them even after death. “Are the people apathetic?” asks the Kansas City Times. We don't know as to that, but we can say that most of them are perspiring.

A lecturer on “The Philosophy of Art” at the Harvard summer school declared that beauty, apich Is a func- tion or entelechy subsisting between an organism and its object when the adaptation of one to the other is com- plete and harmonious with the organ- ism’s act of perception, is grounded upon the psycho-physical character of the organism, which determines the form of the beautiful object. All of which goes to confirm us in the belief that beauty is only skin deep after all. Scientists in the bureau of ethnology at Washington say men are practical- ly of the same stature and have the same size of brain to-day as before the dawn of history when they were busy hunting the woolly rhinoceros in the ‘Thames and Seine valleys. The scien- tists ought not to talk this way. Do they expect any one to believe that it took as much brains to hunt a woolly rhinoceros, inquires the Indianapolis Star, skeptically, a3 it does to chase the festive baseball or pursue and cap- ture the fugitive dollar? That mother-in-law joke, which has been overworked anyway, will have to be called in. A wealthy Cleveland law- yer was 80 disconsolate because his mother-in-law left hie bome that he went to the courts and took out a wvit of habeas corpus to get her back again. He based his application on the state- ment that thé estimable lady had been induced through misrepreseatation to forsake his domicile and was restratn- ed by force from coming back. The mother-in-law, speaking generically, has been grossly wronged. At last ‘she is getting a full vindicatica. IN ROBBERIES HER “PAL” A ‘SUAVE HOTEL CLERK BY DAY, A BURGLAR AT NIGHT. HE ADMITS HIS CRIMES Girl Who Posed as His Wife Says She Helped Him Ransack Resi- ‘ dences—Are Arrested By Police. Springfield, mass.—John F. Heffer- han, a self-confessed Jekyll-Hyde in real life, pleaded guilty in police court to the charge of burglary, and Mary Connolly, who was sup- posed to be his wife, pleaded not guilty, although she previousiy admit- ted her complicity in daring “breaks.” Heffernan was held for the grand jury. Heffernan until recently was the polished, accommodating clerk of a leading Springfield hotel. He worked a ‘long” and a “short” day, an ar rangement which gave him every oth- er night to himself. His nights off, according to his own admission, he spent in breaking into homes of the well-to-do. Invariably he was accom- panied by his partner in crime. The Connolly woman told the police of two houses visited in the dead of night which she assisted Heffernan to ransack. Heffernan is a clever locksmith and went armed. Once he was obliged to threaten to kill a woman whom he awoke, and to prove he was in earnest touched her forehead with the barre! of a revolver. To a limited circle of acquaintances the man and woman were known as Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Green. They are 26 and 24 years old. For months past the police have been at their wits’ end to procure a clew to the perpe- trators of a series of daring burgla- ries in the homes of prominent Spring: field residents, obviously the work of the same persons. The failure of the police to find the burglars led Mayor Sanderson to call a special meeting of the police commission to appoint a chief of police who would. The choice fell on Inspector W. J. Quilty, who delegated Inspector Boyle to the task, Boyle learned that W. H. Green, clerk at the Henking hotel, was living a sumptuous life, He investigated in the belief that Green might furnish a clew in another case. It was weeks before Green was traced to his lods- ings in Vernon street. The mystery which surrounded the hotel clerk and his supposed wife deepened Inspector Boyle's suspicions He made up his mind to act. “Mrs, Green” went to Forest park with several wom- en friends. “freen,” unaware of the fact, strolled through ‘the park with another woman. His com panion’s jealousy was aroused to the point of rage and angry words were heard by other boarders that night. “Mr. and Mrs. Green” procured separate rooms and were about to leave when Inspector Boyle ap: peared. He took the couple to po: lice headquarters. $35,000,000 FOR NEWSPAPERS. This Was the Value of Output in the United States in 1905. Washington, D. C.—In the year 1905 alone there was manufactured in the United States over $35,000,000 worth of newspapers, according to an announcement made public by the census bureau. In the five-year period of 1900-1905 the production of news papers increased in value 79 per cent. The total value of paper and wood pulp manufactured in 1905 was over $188,000,000,000. Of this 37,000,000 were of book paper, 30,000,000 wrap- ping paper and 22,000,000 fine papers. New York leads in this industry, while Massachusetts comes next, followed by Maine, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio. COLORADO HEIRESS TO WED. Daughter of Gen.

The young officer per- formed brilliant service during the Boer war, for which he was appoint- ed to the consular service at Cairo, Egypt. Gen. Palmer's wealth is es: timated at $5,000,000, and Miss Mar- gery, as one of the three sisters, will inherit her share of this sum. No. Beer; Fair is Called Off.

METHOD IN HIS SOLICITUDB, Willie's Deep Interest in Playmate’s Health Explained, This story is well in keeping with the spirit of the age, says the New York Tribune. A Bronx man tells it about his little boy. The neighbor's young*hopeful was very ill, and Willic and the other youngsters in the block had been asked not to make any noise in the streets. The neighbor's bell Trang one day and che opened {t to find ‘Willie standing bashfully on her front steps. “How is he today?” he inquired in a shy whisper. “He's better, thank you, dear, and what a thoughtful child you are to come and ask.” Willie stood a moment on one foot and then burst forth again, “I'm orfol sorry Jimmy's sick.” ‘The mother was profoundly touched, She could fin? no further words to say, but simply kissed him. Made still bolder by the caress, Willie began to back’ down the steps, repeating at in tervals his sorrow for his playmate’s illness. At the bottom step he halted and looked up. “If Jimmy should die,” he asked, “kin i have his drum?” FOR SELFISH ENDS. The Efforts Being Made by the Ameri- can Medical Association. The Political activity of the Ameri- can Medical Association has become 80 pronounced as to cause comment in political circles especially as the the avowed purpose of the Doctors of the “Regulas” or Allopathic school, of which the Association is chiefly com- posed, is to secure the passage of such laws as will not only prevent the sale of so-called “Patent” medicines, but will restrict the practice of medi- cine and healing to the “schools” now recognized. This in many states would prevent the growing practice of Os- teopathy, and in nearly every state would prevent the healers of the Christian Scfence and mental science belief from practicing those sciences in which the faith of so many intelli- gent people is so firmly rooted. ‘The American Medical Association has a “Committee on Legislation,” and the committee has correspond- ents in practically every township — some 16,000 correspondents in all. ‘This committee at the last session of the American Medical Association held in June of this year expressed a hope that a larger number of physi- | cians than heretofore will offer them- selves as candidates for Congress at the first opportunity. In its annual report this Committee said: “To meet the growing demands of the move- ment, however, particularly if the work of active participation in State legislation is undertaken, a larger clerical force must be employed.” This is almost the first time in the history of the United States that any organized class has frankly avowed the purpose of capturing legislatures and dominating legislation in their own selfish interests. ‘The American Medical Association has about 65,000 members of whom 27,000 are “fully constituted mem- bers” and the rest are members be- cause of their affiliation with state or local societies. The. Association owns real estate in Chicago valued at $111,- 781.91 and its total assets are §291,~ 567.89. Its liabilities, at the time of the annual report which was made at the June meeting, amounted to only $21,906. The excess of assets over Mabilities is increasing at the rate of about $30,000 a year, and the purpose of the organization is to dominate the field of medicine, and by crushing ‘all competitions by securing the pas- sage of prohibitive legislation, compei all of the people of the United States to pay a doctor's fee every time the most simple remedy is needed. Puzzled. ‘The bard from the city had sold suf- ficient verses to spend a week in a rural boarding house. Waving off the swarms of June bugs and mosquitoes, the bard sat penning his lines by the yellow light of a kerosene lamp. “How I love this madrigal!” he mused to himself. The horny-handed farmer, who sat greasing his boots, looked up in sur prise. “Gracious!” he drawled. “Where is she?” * “Who?” asked the astonished bard. “Why, the gal yeou just said yeou loved.” Nature's Gift Wasted. A Scotchman who recently took the street car trip on the gorge route, the New York side of Niagara river, was much disgusted with the hawkers of views and “Teddy bears,” who make the afternoon hideous and do their best to spoil nature's grandeur. As he alighted from the car he looked angrily at the shouting venders and then at the Whirlpool rapids. “What's the use of having a big river like that,” he asked, “if you don't drown those fellows in it?” ea ee eee “My dear,” said Mrs. Strongraind, “I Want you to accompany me to the town hall to-morrow evening.” “What for?” queried the meek and lowly other half of the combine. “I am to lecture on the ‘Dark Side of Married Life,’” explained Mrs. S,, “and I want you to sit on the plat- form and pose as one of the illustra ies age SL Busy Diamond Industry.

NEAR QUEBEC ARE KILLED. PINNED BENEATH FALLING DEBRIS Bridge Was a Mile and a Halt Long and Nearly Finished—Half of It Falls Into River. Montreal, Quebec—A message from Quebec reports that the new bridge under construction five miles below that city collapsed late Thursday aft- ernoon and scores of workmen were thrown into the river. Reports place the loss of life all the way from thirty up to 200, but no definite figures are obtainable at this hour. Tugs have started down the river from here and a special train is being made up at Quebec. Was at Quitting Time. ‘The whistle had just blown at 5:03 for the men to quit work for the day, when there came a grinding sound from the bridge midstream. The men turned to see what had happened and an instant later the ery went up, “The bridge is falling.” The men made a rush shoreward, but the distance was too great for them to escape. The fal- Jen section of the bridge dragged oth- ers after it. ‘The snapping girders and cables booming like a crash of artil lery. Terror lent fleetness to the feet of the frightened workmen as_ they sped shoreward, but only a few of them reached safety before the last piece of iron broke on the shore and was dragged into the river near the shore. The wreckage of the bridge did not go below the surface of the wa- ter. Hight workmen who remained above water were rescued and taken to the hospital at Levis. The steamer Glenmont had just cleared the bridge when thé last section fell. The water thrown up by the debris came clear over the bridge of the steamer. The captain at once lowered boats. Boats Search for Victims. The small boats plied backward and forward over the sunken wreckage for half an hour, but there was no sign of life; the twisted iron and steel had its victims in a terrible death grip. A few floating timbers and the broken strands of the bridge toward the north shore were the only signs that any- thing unusual had happened. There was not a ripple on the smooth sur. face of the St. Lawrence as it swept along toward the gulf. All the men drowned were employed by the Phoenixville Bridge Co. and sub-contractors of Quebec and Mon- treal. At 1@ o'clock 16 bodies had been picked up and of the eight men in the Levis hospital two are not ex- pected to live throughout the night. The Quebec bridge was begun about seven years ago and it was to be fin: ished in 1909. Subsidies had been granted by the federal and provincial governments and the city of Quebec, and the estimated cost of the work was $10,000,000. The Phoentxville Bridge Co. of Pennsylvania had the contract for the construction of the bridge, aad crews were working from both sides of the river.

In the case of the village of Jonesburg against Senator A. H. Drunert, for taxes, Circuit Judge J. D. Barnett, at Montgomery City, held that while it may be a matter of grave doubt as to whether the constitution allowed corporation or villages, yet in as much as many villages had become incorporated within the last thirty years it amounted to a construction of the constitution on the part of the people of their own organic law, and to depart from it would work incalculable injury to the people generally, and for that as the main reason he entered judgment for the taxes against Senator Drunert and others involved in the suit. Leading lawyers are of the opinion that the supreme court will likely confirm the judgment, which will mean that all the villages throughout Missouri have a legal existence and a right to assess and collect taxes. Ninth Cavalry Reunion The reunion of the Ninth Missouri cavalry will be held in Moberly September 5 and 6. This regiment was called the Bloody Ninth. It was raised by Odon Guitar, who became its first 'colonel. Later he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general. The regiment at first consisted of eight companies. Two were raised in Boone county, two in Howard county; one in Callaway county; one in Saline county; one in Montgomery county; and one in Randolph county. A company raised in Cooper county and one in Chariton county were added later. The regiment was mustered in January, 1862, and did service for four years. Cat Adopts Rats. Molly, the feline mascot of the e. critical supply house of the Federal Lead company at Flat River, has adopted two young rats, which she is rearing together with three young kittens. The little rodents are as much at home as the kittens, and the mother cat seems to prize them just as highly as she does her own offspring. Heretofore, Molly has been a most persistent hunter of rats and mice, and the office force at the Federal is rather doubtful about the trustworthiness of Molly's intentions. Killed While Sweeping. Mrs. Johnson McKinnon, wife of an employee of the Glencoe Lime company in St. Louis county, was almost instantly killed by lightning which struck her while she was sweeping the floor of her home recently. The bolt entered an open window, and did not damage anything in the house. About a year ago her oldest son was killed while at work in the lime kilns at Glencoe by being struck by a falling rock. Man 80. Woman 75. Wed. E. V. Lafoon, 80 years old, and Mrs. Martha J. Durnell, 75 years old, were married at Springfield by Justice Pickering. The couple were sweethearts in their youth, but became separated, each having taking a partner for life. Two or three years ago the aged bridegroom lost his wife and soon afterward Mrs. Durnell was left a widow. Lafoon lives at Dadeville and his bride formerly resided at Cabool. A Woman's Ghost Party. A number of women, unaccompanied by men, gave a ghost party in a lonely house supposed to be haunted near Louisiana. Many years ago a rich old reeluse hanged himself there after burying his treasure, the legend goes and his apparition is supposed to visit nightly the spot where the wealth is hidden. The women had a jolly time, but no ghost was seen. The Ozarks for the Health. Go to the Ozarks for health and longevity. A 96-year-old farmer near Ava, Douglas county, recently hitched up his horse to a buckboard and took a little six weeks' jaunt overland to Mammoth Springs, Ark., alone. The old man has a son 70 years old and believes he is still able to spank his "boy." Broke World's Record. The world's record for three-year-old racers was smashed to smithereens on the track at Marshall, recently. Annona, the property of a Lexington citizen, was the horse that did the work. She won the first heat in 2:13 1-4, on a half mile track, which is equivalent to a record of 2:05 on a good mile track. Killed by a Runaway Team. Joseph Haynes, 51 years old, was driving at Richmond in a buggy when a team of dray horses, frightened by a train, dashed down the street and crashed into his buggy. Haynes was crushed to death. To Straigoten a River. A petition for straightening the Nodaway river is being circulated. One part of the river which is now 100 miles long would be reduced to 25 miles if straightened. To Vote on Local Option. The county court of Ozark county has ordered a special election to be held September 14 for the purpose of voting on local option. Seventeen years ago local option was adopted in the county and later upheld by the supreme court, but until a year ago it was a dead letter, as saloons and been licensed at different points in the county and several distilleries were in operation. The temperance people became active last year, and the officers enforced the old law. The local option election will be warmly contested. State Fair Preparations. State Fair Preparations. "When the last legislature provided by appropriation for the erection of three new fire-proof stock barns, to hold 450 animals, we thought we could house all live stock exhibits at our next fair," said Secretary J. R. Rippey, of Missouri State fair, "that now it looks like we will have another overflow," and as he talked he opened letters containing live stock entries from Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and more than a dozen points in Missouri, among them being quite a good many well known former exhibitors here and not a few new ones. Missouri is particularly fortunate in the dates selected for her State fair this year, October 5-11, being next after Illinois and just preceding the American Royal at Kansas City, thus avoiding a conflict of dates with any other prominent western show and, being in the "home stretch" of the great live stock show circuit, will get the cream of the prize winners from the other big fairs. With the three new stock barns now being erected, Missouri State fair will have eight massive brick and steel cattle and horse barns, modern and fire-proof, that will house 1,200 animals besides the 11 speed horse barns, a sheep and swine pavilion that will contain 1,400 animals and a poultry palace with room for 4,000 birds. A mile of model rock highway as being constructed on the main boulevard under United States government supervision, to cost $5,000, and an additional $5,000 is being expended on new concrete walks and macadam driveways. Cash premiums aggregating $40,000 will be awarded on exhibits. Last year for the first time here the fair board provided special entertainment features—high class vaudeville, relay races and automobile contests—and were so well pleased with the result that they have arranged for the same on a more extensive scale this year including one of the big airships, prize drills by uniformed fraternal teams, music by a noted band and the other down-to-date features that please and entertain large crowds. The special classes provided for Missouri sheep, with liberal prizes, will attract the largest sheep display ever seen here and largely increased prizes for light harness and saddle horses are bringing entries that insure an unsurpassed horse show. The annual meeting of the Missouri Sheep Breeders' association will be held at the State fair on "Governor's Day," October 9. Food For Thought Frequently you pick up one of the local papers, says the Nevada Mail, and after glancing at the headlines, wearly thrust it aside, remarking, "Nothing in the paper to-day." Did you ever stop to think what that phrase—"nothing in the paper to-day"—means? It means that in the day or week just passed that no misfortune has befallen any one in our city; that no fire has wiped out a neighbor's worldly goods; that grim angel of death has crossed no threshold of a friend; that no man driven by liquor, hatred or fear, has taken the life of a fellow human; that no poor devil, haunted by the past or the misdeeds of some other, has crossed the great divide by his own hand. So the next time you pick up a paper that doesn't announce a tragedy, give a little thanks instead of grumbling because there is no news." Railroad Tie Center. Springfield is becoming a great center for the railroad tie business, which is being more and more put to it to find suitable timber. The Ozark mountains with their magnificent white oaks, some of which will furnish eight ties out of the bottom cut alone, apparently supply about the best now to be had, and mountainside after mountainside is being swept bare. The erection at Springfield of a large creosoting plant that will cure millions of ties annually, indicates the march of modern methods and the pressing necessity of preserving the ties as long as possible. Recruit's Grit Tested. The corporal in charge of the Joplin recruiting station almost had to refuse to enlist a young Samson the other day because of the length of the applicant's hair. The would-be recruit had no money to have this defect remedied, but rather than let him go the corporal took off his coat and handled the shears himself, throwing in a shave. The recruit displayed such admirable courage during these operations that the corporal is predicting great things for him. A. Foolish Miner A miner near Joplin was foolish enough to drive past his home with a young woman. After his injuries, including a bullet hole through one hand, had been dressed, his wife relented enough to allow him to come home, on his promise to be good. Holds a Record. F. C. Couch, of rural route No. 2, holds the record for rapid work in threshing and marketing a wheat crop, according to the Chillicothe Tribune. Recently he finished threshing and hauling to Chillicothe 2,000 bushels of wheat, which was delivered to John T. Milbank & Bro., at a price of 78 cents a bushel. The entire job was completed in 14 hours, nine teams being employed in the field and nine in bringing the wheat to town. Mr. Couch had 100 acres in wheat.

We would call the attention of the lovers of skating to the fact that there are two rinks now existing in St. Louis conducted by Colored men. The very best of feeling exists between the proprietors of these rinks, each speaking in the very highest terms of the other and their rinks. It now remains for the public to do like wise. The rinks are at least a mile apart, representing the west and east, so let the public come out and help them push their business in order to enable them to employ more young Negro men. We sincerely trust there will be no contention. Just help both and you will help the race. The Star Roller Rink has again opened for business at 3311 Olive street. Messrs. Alvin Wylie and Alfred McClun, proprietors. These gentlemen have remodeled and fitted up this rink, making it very inviting in appearance. The best of order will prevail. We call special attention to the attractian which will be on their billboard for two or three nights in the week. Don't fail to patronize 3311 Olive street. Good music at both matinees and evenings. We are pleased to see that some men who have a few thousand dollars to spend are building flats for the accommodation of the Negroes of our city. It is a well-known fact that Negroes pay more rent and pay it better than the majority of the middle class of whites and still can not obtain decent homes to live in. Quite a number of houses are being erected for our people and in very good neighborhoods. Mr. Davie of 320 Fullerton building has a number of houses on Fairfax avenue, east of Newstead. We trust more will follow, as we would all like to have respectable homes in respectable neighborhoods, especially when rent is properly paid. Mrs. Effie Chandler is now conducting a beautiful cafe at 2013 Market street. Mrs. Chandler is from Joplen Mo., and has been here in our city for three years, and is an industrious and business character in every particular.

On account of the increase in his business, Mr. Sam Weisman, better known as Sam, The Tailor, will remove his place of business to 1322 Olive street. The removal will take place about August 15th. Don't fail to get your next suit from him at the old stand, 204-6 North 14th street. You can then say, "I bought my last suit at the old stand for I got it cheaper." Then be sure that you get the first suit that is made at his new stand. Mr. Sam is undoubtedly the best man that you will ever meet. When a person has financial dealing with a man he can be generally judged by this passage of scripture of our Lord's: "When I was hungry, you fed me; when I was in prison you come unto me and when I was naked you clothed me." All these things has he done. Some people believe that we should not deal with any other people but our own race. You must make and keep your friends, White and Black, and you will always have friends who will help you in time of need, and Sam, The Tailor, is that man. - Brooks' Skating Rink, at 2118 Market street, is one of the largest and finest rinks open for our people.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities in lengths, and all conditions of hair, we placed a place for the head, many hairs, an idea that such a thing was possible. The proof of our value of our work is that we are being imitated, and largely by persons whose hair we have actually grown, and whose hair we sell their gods (saying that theirs "is the best hair" just as good) or referred to "PORO."

Last Monday, like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, the church rose up in her strength and ousted four of the old landmarks from the deacon board—Epp, Harreston, Bell and Stokes. My children, what have you been doing? What is the matter with deacon board at the First Baptist Church? A certain man on that board always boasted that he carried his resignation in his pocket, but the church did not wait for it. He was bounced at once. The First Baptist Church, after removing four members of the deacon board, suspended or expelled three members of the church. Rumor says there are more to follow. Last Monday night all was quiet at the church. Nothing seemed unusual, when all at once was heard the rattling of dry bones in the valley of Josephat, such as had never been heard before. Who heard it? Answer—Epp, Stoves, Bell and Harrison. Four ex-members of the deacon board were seen discussing the issue of affairs and wondering how matters had worked so successfully at the First Baptist Church. One asked this question: "Is it really true that we are off the deacon board or is it a dream?" At this remark Epp pinched himself and said: "Yes, it is true, for I am wide awake. There has been a rolling of preachers, deacons and members at the First Baptist Church and now we ask this question: In what church is the membership of R. H. Cole, George E. Stevens, G. W. Ganes, E. C. Cole, W. D. Cook, R. E. Gillam? Please answer. We want our reporters to be truthful. They must tell all, even if it is on themselves. Tell the truth. If it happens that you are carried down in the Black Maria, say so, and tell the reason why. A hint to the wise is sufficient.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. For two or three months the peo- ple of Israel, men, women, and chil- dren, slowly marched through “the great and terrible wilderness” from Sinai, 'a journey which ordinary trav- elers could make in eleven days. The slow march and long rests were nec- essary both on account of the children and the flocks, and on account of the need of longer training. Moreover, the difficulties and privations of the desert would make them sore anx- fous to enter the “land flowing with milk and honey.” Kadesh-barnea. At length, some time in July or August, they reached Kadesh-barnea, Ain Qadees, 50 miles south of Beers:teba, just at the foot of the range of hi.Js which are the south- ern boundary uf Palestine. | “From Kadesh the people can see, rising before them toward the north- west, the steep ascent which leads into the hill country, the destined in- heritance of the tribe of Judah.” ‘The gates to their new home were before them, wide open. The fertile oasis to which they had come was a foretaste of their inheritance. Only a steep climb and they can set their feet ‘on the land of promise. ‘Then Moses said unto them: “Be- pote Jehovah thy God hath set tho land before thee; go up, take posses- | sion, as Jehoveh, the God of thy fa- thers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.—(Deut, 1:21) They had only to trust God and go forward, and in less than two years from leaving Egypt the land would have been theirs. The God who had delivered them with a mighty hand, who had made d path through the sea, who had raingd manna, and brought water from rock, and spoken from Sinai, and entered into covenant with them, and was leading them by his visible piesence,—he bade them go up and take possession of the prom- ised land. ‘Rae people were afraid to go for- ward. They were not a warlike peo- ple. Abraham's attack on Chedorlao- mer and his army in rescue of Lot, in the far distant past, and their battle with the Amalekites, a year before this time, are the only battles record- ed in the whole history of their race. The whole people (Deut. 4:22) asked Moses to first send out spies to in- vestigate. This was wise under the circumstances, that Is, the next wisest thing to going forward trusting in God, and therefore Moses agreed to the plan (Deut. 1:23), and it was so directed by God (Num. 12:1, 2). The Committee of Investigation.— Accordingly, Moses selected twelve leading men best fitted for the ser- Yice, whose names are given in vs. 415. “Spy Out the Land.”"—The object of this expedition was (1) to learn what were the attractions of the coun- try; (2) the difficulties in the way of taking possession; (3) the ‘best ways of reaching the country; (4) the prep- arations it was necessary to make. “Get you up this way southward.” Bet- ter as in R. V., by the south, not re- ferring at all to the direction form the Israelite’s camp, but to a well-defined tract of territory forming the south- ernmost and least fertile portion of the land ef Canaan. It was called “The Negeb” or the South Country, literally, “the dryness.” In the same way We speak of “the South,’ no matter in what direction we approach it. The Two Reports.—The timid sples were like Elisha’s servant (2 Kinga 6:16, 17), who saw the enemy, but did not see the heavenly chariots and horsemen ranged on the hilis round about. They saw the giants, but were blind to God. ‘The report was evil because it omitted the essential factor in the case. ‘The minority report of Caleb and Joshua was a good report because, while it accepted all the material facts of the other, it embodied the one essential of faith in God with its ‘outcome of obedience and courage. The gifference between the two lay in this: that the ten looked at God through the difficulties, as when you look at the sun through a reversed telescope, and it seems indefinitely distant and shorn of its glory; while the two looked at difficulties through #! ~ os CaP EA ame EN ree [Brana » i Ly > ; i“ ocet, Be AA gi aN fee (eae Poe! : Nee Se Bn S Secrely ts A pig es = SSM ma) tiny z fe Poe keep seam, tho fact iy hhe has substituted something de white lead ia his paint, but wing edttitution fe discovered he cea ‘the adulteration as an inprooemy, ‘There is no mystery abox ed paint.

MAN-A-LIN Is An Excellent Remedy for Constipation MAN-A-LIN Is An Excellent Remedy for Constipation There are many ailments directly dependent upon constipation, such as biliousness, discolored and pimped skin, inactive liver, dyspepsia, overworked kidneys and headache. Remove constipation and all of these ailments disappear. MAN-A-LIN can be relied upon to produce a gentle action of the bowels, making pills and drastic cathartics entirely unnecessary. A dose or two of Man-a-lin is advisable in slight febrile attacks, la grippe, colds and influenza. THE MAN-A-LIN CO., COLUMBUS, OHIO, U. S. A. The father's peroration was superb.

Have you ever seen the sun sinking in such a glare of glory that it swallows up the whole horizon with its passionate fire? Have you seen the mist gliding like a specter down the shrinking hillside, or the pale moon struggling to shake off the grip of the ragged storm cloud? Reformed Tramp—No, sir; not since I signed the pledge. A Different Loaf. "Why," exclaimed little Johnny, when he heard his father telling about somebody who was looking after the leaves and fishes, "that's just what mamma says about Uncle Henry!"

Pick over the spinach when you have washed it and strip the leaves from the main stems without bruising them. Cover with cold water and leave in this to freshen and crisp them. In an hour's time transfer the leaves, dripping wet, to a granite or porcelain pot, adding no water except that which drips from the spinach. Set this pot or jar in a larger vessel of cold water. Cover the inner vessel closely to keep in the steam and set both over the fire. When the water in the outer pot begins to boll, open the inner and stir the contents gently with your wooden ladle to make sure that they are heated to the center. Cover again and let the boll go on for half an hour more. There should be enough liquid from the succulent leaves to cover the spinach when packed into the jars. Seal immediately. PROPER CARE OF SHOES. Application of Petroleum Ointment Is Good for Them. An excellent preservative of shoe leather is petroleum ointment. If a small quantity be applied to new shoes it will soften the leather, and if enameled leather will keep it soft much longer than ordinarily and render it less liable to crack. If worn shoes are cleaned and blackened and then rubbed with the petroleum ointment their appearance and wearing qualities will be much improved. Have a box of oats handy and when the shoes are taken off remove all mud and dirt, lace or button them, fill half full with oats and stuff the tops with crumpled paper. When necessary to wear the shoes empty them and they will be found to have kept their shape, and will not be drawn if they were the least bit damp when taken off. Evaporated Pears. Soak the pears over night in lukewarm water, first washing thoroughly. When ready to cook put into a small pipkin or baking dish of earthware, sprinkle with sugar or sweeten to taste with molasses; flavor with a little whole clove, cinnamon, or ginger, cover with water, then cover the whole with a close-fitting lid, and bake in a slow oven until the pears are tender and the liquid of a jellylike consistency. These are delicious served with hot gingerbread. If a gas range is used, and you do not wish to keep up the oven fire, simmer gently, covered, on top of the range, using either the simmerer or a small burner turned low. Summer Pudding. Prepare the dry bread as for dressing. Beat three eggs thoroughly, leaving out the whites; add one cup of water, one of milk; mix well, and pour over the steamed bread. Beat together well and boll in a thick vessel, stirring until solid. While hot add the beaten whites of the eggs with one-half cup of sugar. Stir briskly; then set aside to cool. Make a sauce of two teaspoons of flour, mixed dry with one-half cup of sugar; dissolve with a little cold water; then add boiling water until it is the consistency of thin starch. Drop in a generous lump of butter and after placing on each dish of the pudding, sprinkle with nutmeg. Tinting Lace. To color lace for a gown, procure a tube of oil paint, the color desired, and squeeze it into a cup of gasoline and stir until dissolved. Then pour into a larger vessel. Dip a small piece of the lace into it and if too deep add more gasoline until the shade desired is obtained. When it is the right color put all the lace into it. After a few minutes take out, shake gently and dry in the open air. Flowers and straw may be tinted by the same method. To Restore Cashmere. A good merino or cashmere is always worth the trouble of cleaning and remaking. Take three tablespoonfuls extract of soap and two tablespoonfuls of ox gall; add to this about two quarts of warm water and wash the cashmere in it, then rinse and wring it in cold water. If the material is of a very beautiful black it better to add a small quantity of dissolved alum for rinsing purposes, and any other color washed by this process is rendered fast by the alum. Rickled Cauiflower. Cut the cauliflower into small clusters, dropping them into scalding brine and boiling for three minutes. Drain, pack in a jar, cover with cold vinegar into which have been stirred a cup of sugar, a tablespoonful each of celery, mustard and coriander seed and whole white peppers, a dozen blades of mace and a small red pepper, sliced. Boil the spiced vinegar for five minutes, then fill the jars with it and seal immediately. Currant Sherbet. Pick over, and squeeze in cheese cloth enough currants to obtain two cupfuls of juice. Add to this two cups of water and two cups of sugar. When the sugar is dissolved stir in the beaten whites of two eggs and freeze. Serve in sherbet glasses and put on each glass a spoonful of very cold soft custard, in which a few chopped pistachio nuts have been stirred. Cleaning-Kitchen Utenails.

Of Course the Story Teller Didn't Really Mean Just That A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has a tale to tell of conditions that are really sensational. And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all. He was out calling the other evening, and the conversation started with the shirtwait man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to be found in great quantities at the summer resort. Then he told about the habit everybody down there had contracted of going without hats. This is the way he told it to an interested company: "You see everybody down there going about just the same. The men never wear coats; they go about in just their sairs and trousers, and the women are just like them." VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. uffered Three Years—Physciiana Did No Good—Perfectly Well After Using Cuticura Remedies. "I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in a very bad form for the past three years. I consulted and treated with a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am perfectly well, the disease having left me entirely. I cannot recommend the Cuticura Remedies too highly to anyone suffering with the disease that I have had. Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, Ill., October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S. Berger." Punctured His Eloquence. A lawyer in Johnstown, N. Y., while defending a, little boy who had been apprehended in the act of making a surreptitious entrance under the fair grounds fence, drew for the jury a most pathetic picture of the prisoner's "poor old widowed mother with the tears streaming down her face and her gray head bowed in sorrow at the thought of her little boy being incarcerated." The youthful offender cut in at this point with "Please, sir, Mr. Lawyer, my mother ain't a widow." "Shut up, darn you," said the lawyer. "I'm trying this case, not you."—Law Notes. 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 necessary 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 wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. No Peace Conference. "Are you going to strike, ma?" asked the little boy, as he tremblingly gazed upon the uplifted shingle. "That's just what I'm going to do." "Can't we arbitrate, ma, before you strike?" "I am just going to arbitrate," she said, as the shingle descended and raised a cloud of dust from the seat of a pair of pantalooms—"I am just going to arbitrate, my son, and this shingle is the board of arbitration."

He stared at the famous artist for a minute in silence, then he touched his cap and asked in a tone of deep commiseration, "Beg pardon, guv'nor, was you in mournin' for anybody?"

Places of Interest Neglected Two of the most attractive places for instruction in New York city are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History, yet there are thousands of residents of New York who have never been in them, and more than half of their daily visitors are strangers in the city. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

Dear Sir: I have just returned from a visit to your 95,000-acre ranch, where I have been for the purpose of investigating the conditions of soil, climate, rainfall, etc., and its adaptability to general farming, truck-growing and fruits. I found conditions really better than I expected, and fully up to representations in your literature. The soil seems to be of fine quality and of such variety as to make diversified farming easy and profitable. While on the ranch I had the pleasure of visiting Hall, Frenchman, Turkey Creek, Windmill, Muley Cow and Headquarters pastures. I did not see the Votab pastures but was assured by disinterested parties that it was even better than that which I examined, and believing this I came home perfectly satisfied that you have the best proposition, for the poor man, in Southwest Texas. Of course your ranch I saw fine crops growing without irrigation, and this I consider remarkable in view of the severe drought, which obtains at this time over the entire state. I am sure this will prove to be a fine fruit-growing section, especially for grapes, figs and berries, and that the water supply is sufficient seems certainly to be proved by the flowing artesian wells in various parts of pasture, and this also settles the truck growing proposition. You have my hearty endorsement on both your lands and plan of sale. Very truly yours, DR. T. E. FOSTER.
