MAJ. JOHN C. GILMORE AND STAFF. With line officers, post of Calbayog, Samar, P. I. VOL. 16. NO. 37. INVISIBLE W HE golden Ophir of King Soi- cuman and King Hiran, according to the secret assertion made by Dr. Carl Peters, the explorer, has at last been found. "There is ample proof," he says "that the Fura we discovered and explored last summer in Portuguese South Africa is the Ophir of the Old Testa- ment. This startling statement, which has sent a startling thrill of excitement throughout the scientific world, was made by Dr. Peters on his arrival in London from Africa. Along with it goes the solving of a problem more mysterious than that of the Sphinx. The location of the great emporium of Biblical times has long puzzled the best scholars and geographers of the world. Dr. Peters, however, has lifted the veil which for centuries has enveloped the mystery, and now the Eldorado of the ancient world where King Solomon sent his fleets for gold wherewith to build his great temple has been definitely located. Dr. Peters concludes that the territory known to day as Portuguese East Africa and Eastern Mashonaland was, one thousand years before the commencement of the Christian era, the great commercial and gold producing country colonized by the Jews, Phoenicians and Western Arabians, who built a great empire, the capital of which was Ophir, located on the banks of the Zambesi river, whose waters became a highway for the fleets of the then known world. The ancient mines were situated in the northern portion of Portuguese East Africa, some fifteen miles south of the coast of Cape Verde, in the towns of Sena and Tete. An old Portuguese map was consulted by Dr. Peters before leaving London. It was based on the early reports of the Portuguese naval vessels, who were the first to sail to the East African coast, and to carry on a trade with the Arab merchants. The early navigator stories of having found the early navigators in the interior. On this old map an important claw was obtained by finding a place designated "Afur," which is a South African form of the Hebrew name Ophir, which now given to the locality by the present race who inhabit the district, while Fura to-day, in their language, remeans mine, Afur, by which name the Arabs of the sixteenth century knew the district. With this geographical data Dr. Peters MAJ. JOHN C. GIL With line officers, post of reached South Africa and commenced the search for the ancient site of Ophir. Following the tracings of the old map he pushed into the interior until he had mapped the entire city. The treasure was found to be occupied by a people calling themselves "Malanka," and ruled over by a powerful chief, who at once became hostile to the entry of the men, who came to the city, and then them. Finally the obieet sent his brother to parley with the explorer, who the New York Herald, and after his mission was fully explained, the obieet became friendly and subsequently gave valuable information as to the position of the ruins. Continuing his search south of the Zambesi and midway between the settlements of Sena and Tete, Dr. Peters came upon the site of the ancient city. Here was found a series of immense ruins, consisting of temples, fortifications, dwelling houses, workshops, all constructed of solid masonry, and which bore the unmistakable stamp of antiquity. The outer walls and pillars were covered with astronomical signs and other ornamentations, which are identical with Phoenician and Semitic symbols employed at that time. One of the largest of the ruins covers an area of several acres, having massive walls, towers and monoliths. It is supposed to have been a huge temple of worship, a counterpart of the great Temple of Solomon itself. Smelting furnaces, shafts and other appliances for metal workings were found, which leaves no doubt that gold working was the chief occupation of the former. A full survey of the rulns, giving complete details and measurements, together with an examination of the ancient workings and the quartz gold seels will be available in the book *African Traces of diamonds, coal, white mica and saltpeter were found, and Dr. Peters feels assured that all the products of the ancient Ophir are to be found on the Zambesi. In slave and mysterious rulns stand out in startling contrast with the primitive huts of the present natives. Undoubtedly a large population, having thousands of skilled artisans, once lived here, and erected double walls to protect their splendid city and the great quantities of gold which they possess, the pillaging of hostile tribes. Dr. Peters concludes that such a style of architecture and such a civilization as it signifies could not have originated and developed in South Africa. In the mid-19th century the art of gold-working died long ago in Southeastern Africa, while those who have practiced then are believed to have been swept off the face. THE APPEAL. of the earth in some catastrophe, possibly an uprising of the aboriginal people, during which they and their civilization persisted together. One of the objects found which adds to the proof that the ruins are those of Ophir was a zoolocal calendar, well preserved through all the centuries of its interment. The zoolical drawings are shown in the following pages. The Kaffirs. One of the pictures by the Kaffirs, one of the pictures of the sun, similar to the 19th picture found in Asia Minor. When belong to the Assyro-Babylonian period. The center is represented by a crocodile, which was frequently used in old times as representing the polar constellation of the northern hemisphere. These identical similarities show that there was an early connection between the inhabitants of the north and the north. With this began the practice solar worship and astronomy. Even the present natives who live in the district are sun and fire worshippers and are unlike any of the other African tribes. They have a distinct Jewish type of face, and it is the opinion of Dr. Peters that they are a mixture of the Asiatic conquerors with the original Inhabitants. The Kaffirs. One of the pictures of Africa was not realized until the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama rounded the Cape in 1487 and opened up the East African coast to the western world. In all of the ports he called at the Arabs told him wonderful stories about the gold fields in the interior. The next Portuguese expedition, in 1503, founded the modern city of the South Africa. A German traveler, Carl Mauch, first visited the interior of Munchaland, and reported on the finding of rubies in this region. Theodore Bent twenty years after it was visited the same ground and investigated the rubies. Dr. Henry Schlichter, an English traveler, was the last to explore this region. He found that the Rubies were discovered will undoubtedly be rar蒸, not know. He probably satisfied, for a song, any legal heirs of the Alledes, and Marron's estate had passed into the hands of his own nephew.

He lifted the place and, when the time came, MORE AND STAFF. Calbayog, Samar, P. I. bought it. His family consisted of his wife Elena and three children of between twelve and eighteen, two boys and a girl. He had perhaps ten servants, including the chief gardener, who had peons under him and they don't count. People talk about Marron's uneasy ghost walking about the rooms at night without any regard to locked doors. Servants stayed but a few weeks as a rule and went away with queer tales to tell. The licenifcado grew nervous and finally, taking a house a few blocks away, began tearing down the Allende-Marron casa. He confided to his friends that he had no fear of anything phantasmal, but his wife not being able to keep servants long, it seemed best to tear down the house and build a new one on its foundations, and then he would have something modern, with up-to-date conveniences that women like so well. It was a year and a half before the Valdemoros went back to the place into a house spie and span, brand new and smelling of fresh paint and paper, with a private electric lighting plant and electric bells all over the house, which was of one story like the old place. The parish priest blessed the premises and there was a grand fiesta and any amount of champagne. The ghosts were surely banished. They might walk in the orchards, said the licenifcado, and much good would it do them. And the ghosts did remain away until a year ago, when they came back in coops and with any amount of accumulated money. You would have said it was old "Col." Marion had perate gang. The pride of the clenclade's heart was his collection of oil paintings, many of them selected by him in Europe, and many thousands of dollars. He liked to show them to his guests and expatate on their mertis. He had sometimes talked of having a portrait painted of "Col." Marron as a sort of historical subject, and perhaps his purpose things might have gone between them. The Senora de Valdemoro objected and put her plump Mexican foot on the project. One morning the clenclade went into the room, for some purpose, and noted with indifference paintings had been pulled from their frames and lay on the floor. He called up all the servants and read the riot act that they got down on their knees and assured them not have been guilty of such vandalism. It was evident that they were sincere, and badly frightened into the bargain. Look after the pictures having been duly restored to their frames. The same (Continued on Second Page.)

I., and Cwrdwrence, June 10. While perhaps of secondary importance in some respects, by far the largest island of the Visayas is Samar, situated between the islands of Luzon on the north and Mindanao on the south and is probably the oldest settled island of the Filipino group. It has a population of about 200,000, mostly Indies, but a large number of houses and homes are found in the larger towns, but the island is scattered and the conditions so poor that except by sea they are isolated so far as commerce is concerned, and the harbor and banca of the ocean are much smaller than the burden of the land. The customs are nearly the same as in the country towns of Luzon, the people probably possessing a little better knowledge of the language, the larger villages there is no education, so that any person with a pleasing manner and a good gift of speech can easily lead them in any way he wishes, which accounts for the rapid manner in which the people of Luzon organize a band of fanatical insurrections.

At the evacuation of Samar by the Spanish, in December, 1808, the island was completely left unoccupied by American fathers, and over one year of what self-government in their present state means, I know of no better way than to show you the condition of Samar in 1808. The first insurgent governor had been a regular adventurer from Luzon named Minoz, but his career was cut short by a bombing that he had been sent by higher authority, who immediately ousted the said Minoz and took the reins of government that he had been sent by the Americans arrived at this island. Being a Tagal and not accustomed to the use of the Vissayan language, he soon surmised that he would be minded persons possible, who, though natives of Luzon, had been in Samar long enough to know the language and the best manner to hoodwink the people. He began an outrageous system of taxation more than the others, and went so far as to punish with twenty-five lashes anyone who did not have in his possession more than ten cents, about 10 cents, he compelled them to buy from him at a cost of $ All institutions of learning were forced out of existence; churches were closed and the priests exited to other parts; convents were torn down and the material sent to the capital at Catalagon, to be used by Lukhan; men were forced into the insurgent service and paid $2 per month, out of which they must purify the women were thrown into prison and punished trial; the marriage law was not in force, and the result of this ill was that at the end of a little over a year's self- A Good Samuritan.

In this description I am forced not only to confine myself to Samar, occupied by battalions, but the Forty-third infantry, which was occupied by the Second battalion of that regiment, extending from the Gandara river on the south to the straits of San Bernardino on the north. The battalion, occupied by Calabarger, battalion landed at Calabarger March 28, 1980, they met no resistance, although all along the sea front we saw earthworks thrown up, and he was not until a company had gone behind us. We were also faced by an old-fashioned cannon that we actually knew whether or not the insurgents were in the neighborhood, but all doubt was still there. We were also faced by sides were fully aware of the close proximity of the opposing forces. The enemy was driven into the hills and pursued as long as one was in sight, but when one considers that the tropical growth of shrubbery, grass and foliage, together with the natural contour of the country, makes it impossible to see any one at any great distance, one can readily understand how futile would be any attempt at pursuit. The result of the day's work was the occupation of the town, the capture of twenty cannon and several old Remlngtons, while the insurgents lost ten killed and several wounded. Maj. Gilmore's next work was the proper establishment of civil government, which is a work so complex that it is a severe tax on one's mind, aside from any military work, but it was taken up quietly, quickly and with such a spirit of deep determination that the natives in and around Calbayog could readily see that while the Americans had come to open the hemp ports and give privileges to the natives, but that they were also in the habit of having their orders obeyed. A president was immediately appointed to help look after civil work. The people were invited to return to their homes, and assured of our fullest protection. The der insurgent government was forced to flee from the island, was recalled, and once again the church doors were thrown open. The people were pounded out the glad news that the religious ceremonies had ceased. The school was reopened, for a year had been closed.

The machinery began to work, and as ship load after ship load began to be shipped out, small harpoons and bancas by the hundreds began to pour in from the smaller towns with more hemp, tanning and necessary which had been brought to the steamers and schooners from Manila. On the north coast troops were sent to occupy Layman and Catarman, while a ship to Catiburg河 to Catiburg and another one to Gandara河, where vast quantities of hemp had been stored awaiting shipment, and immediately merchant, and returned to the island, returned to take up the work of exporting hemp and importing things as were most needed by the inhabitants. Elections were ordered held in all the towns, and the men could choose their own head men and the head men could choose the presidents and tenientes. Certificates of registration were issued to all the wounded them at 10 cents each which took the plains, and which the insurgents had issued at a price ranging from $3 to $6.

THE RAINY DAYS the carriotes arew up near Richmond Park. Dr. Kittery, compiler of the famous Latin dictionary, Mr. Bodmin, stepped out and made their way to the open space of greenwands among the trees where the children sat, sun had scarcely risen yet, and Mr. Bodmin thought with profound grief that it was only yesterday "that the great discovery had been finished, and only last night that the wine had ventured to dispute with the doctor as to the meaning of "Zythus." "A malt liquor used by the Egyptians" said the doctor, as one with authority. "The name, from coccolies' tears and lotos leaves," persisted Sir Edward viciously. "The sir, you are imperfect," said the doctor, as a malt liquor such as you yourself would drink in place of the more heavy Falenian." The doctor had accepted the invitation to a duel with his customary quanimity. He did not know one end of the pistol from the other, and came with a double fear, being convinced, firstly that the doctor would be shot down like a sheep by his antagonist—a noted duelist; secondly, that in his great aptitude the composition of an epitaph which already threw into a brown study the doctor would either forget to pull the trigger at all or shoot one of the seconds—either of which mishaps would be counted to him. The doctor was too faithful an admirer to refuse the post of second. "The hasty manner," said Dr. Kittery, as they got out, "in which affairs involving the doctor were brought to a conclusion appears to me to be as intolerable to the individual as it is disgraceful to the community." "Have you been unable to complete it?" asked Mr. Bodmin, knowing that the docu- "Sir," said Dr. Kittery, "my epitaph may be ephemeral in duration, and must be less than ephemeral in construction. But I beg to remind you that it was at I disagreed with Sir Edward on the swine and three of my hours have since been devised slumber, and that one hour and thirty minutes have, been consumed driving to NIPA HUT Philip this glide in that rackety cabriole. You then ask me if I have completed my epiphath. My answer is, No, sir; I have not." "But you have effected something," urged Mr. Bodmin, knowing that there was no chance of the doctor attending to him, while the epiphath remained unfinished. "If I had effected nothing," said the doctor, "I should be a fool." "Pray let me hear what you have composed?" said Mr. Bodmin, apologetically. posed?" said Mr. Bodmin, apologetically, "Your interruptions are insufficient," said the doctor, severely; "but it is my intention to recite the lines to you in order that you may record them in your memory. They are to this effect: 'Stranger, here Kittery lies—observe his fall. Slain by the reckening tube's unerring ball.'" "Admirable!" murmured Mr. Bodmin. "The reckening tube's unerring ball—excellent." The phrase, no doubt, has a classic ring, said the doctor, gratified; "but an epitaph should be essentially commemorative. This only commemorates my doctor, my more important achievements are my more important achievements." They speak for themselves," said Mr. Bodmin. "You could not improve on your present lines." "Possibly I may be permitted, sir, to consider myself as great an authority on the subject as you as you," said the doctor, mislaking this fundation. "Certainly, certainly," said Mr. Bodmin, in haste. "Very well, sir. I maintain that the epitaph is not complete. It will be my duty to remedy it during the five minutes of existence that still remain to me." Mr. Bodin clasped his hands in despair. Here they were already on the floor, Sir Edward Brown's second already at his measure out the paces and the load pips the screens. "Dr. Kittery will not agree to Sir Edward's version of zythus." Inquired the gentleman. "Mr. Kittery," said Mr. Bodin ladies, "Dr. Kittery is not in the habit of agreeing to anything that mislokes him." "Nor Sir Edward." "Nor affair must proceed?" said Mr. Bodin. "Undoubtedly." Meanwhile the doctor moved up and down abstractedly, shifting his spectacles as an idea came or escaped him.

The doctor took it absently, murmuring to himself: "Here in this um." I besech you, eager to pull the trigger, to demand Edwin's second drop his kerrichet!" said M.D. Bodmin. "Yes, yes," said the doctor, impatient of interruption. Here in this urn the bone. "If, went on M.D. Bodmin, greatly daring," you will but keep your platel straight at Sir Edward, you may by chance hit him! "If you will but oblige me," said the doctor, easily causing it.

If either reserve his fire he shall fall by." "Remember!" said M.D. Bodmin, miserably, slowly tearing himself away. "Here in this urn the bones of Kittery bide," lived the doctor, "for words he lived." "Are you ready, gentleman? One!—" And for a word—" continued the doctor. "Two-Three?" "He died!" said the doctor, half-turning to Mr. Bodmin. At the same moment the 'kerbieself fell and broke out in uniform. Mr. Bodmin, shrinking into himself with horror, saw the doctor's hat revolve suddenly on his head. Sir Edward drew up his hands and fell forward. "You've hit him!" cried Mr. Bodmin, then tugging at it. "Hit whom?" said the doctor, surprised "Sir Edward? Impossible?" "But, I assure you, it is true," said Mr. Bodmin; and indeed it was, beyond doubt that "I had only contemplated this," said the doctor, thoughtfully, "I should have completed a very good epitaph for him. However, in either case, the last half of the second line would be suitable." "By good fortune," said Mr. Bodmin, "he is only wounded in the leg!" "S'death": said Dr. Kittery, indignant- ly.

On March 26 a small party of about twenty came stealthily into Calbayog, and approaching a sentinel from both sides at once succeeded in cutting him with bolos, but he gave the alarm and the garrison was hurriedly turned out, but not in time to prevent an insurgent from getting into the room of the orderly of the commanding officer and killing him. In the affair which followed we killed eleven, wounded four and captured three. It was found that they were operating under these same two Tagals, and were sent to bolo the officers, thereby reducing the garrison and lessening the morale of the command. All of these wore about their necks a little packet in which was concealed the crude insignia of the "Anting-Anting" society, whose chief teaching is that if a bullet enters the body all they must do is to mutter a prayer and the effect is gone. This affair was soon followed by fights at Gandard, Santa Marguerita, Lavazares and La Granja, where about eighty of the Americans, but no loss to the Americans, but at Cathedral Fortinate, losing eightmen men out of a detachment of thirty-one, but killing over two hundred. In Gandard, one company was attacked by about six hundred men and after severe fighting, some of which was bayonet against bolo, the Americans buried 160 insurgents and lost one man killed and one wounded. The attack was over the suspected country, and it is here that the true worth of the American soldier is shown. A man may get out and fight for a short time and show bravery, and it will to withstand the fatigue and hardship of the "hyke," where they wade through rivers, mud and marshes, sleep in the wet grass, climb mountains when the hot tropical sun seems to melt their very bodies, and take up a still harder march in the morning, yet it is in this way that the most valuable information is gotten, and unless one has been at least once over the battle, it is advantage when trying to fight in the darkness.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1900. FOR PRESIDENT: WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: THEO. ROOSEVELT, of New York. When McKinley was in St. Paul, Minn., he spoke at the Auditorium there. There were many prominent Afro-Americans on the stage, which he noted. After the meeting a sort of reception was held at the residence of a leading citizen and several hundred white men were present, but no Afro-Americans. When the bulk of the crowd had gone a select few gathered around the dining table table and had a general good time. Suddenly McKinley turned to his host and said: "At the meeting-to-night I noticed a number of bright, intelligent Afro-Americans both upon the stage and in the audience; why is it I do not see any of them here? The host and others --- G95 RICHARD YATES, NEXT GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS. offered some sort of filmsy excuse, but as a matter of fact, they were not invited. This story, which is told by a gentleman who was present, shows that McKinley believed that the Afro-Americans who were prominent enough in politics to be given seats on the stage should have been invited to the reception which followed. The dreadful storm disaster which befell Galveston, Texas, like the God who ruled it, was no respecter of persons, and black and white, low and high, rich and poor were victims of its fury. Our hearts go out in sorrow for the dead and in sympathy for the living, many of whom would better be dead than so suddenly bereft of all that makes life worth living. It seems strange that such things as these happen, but the ways of Providence are past finding out and we must humbly and blindly bow in submission to His will. "The Republican party does not have to assert its devotion to the Declaration of Independence. That immortal instrument of the fathers remained unexecuted until the people under the lead of the Republican party in the awful clash of battle turned its promises into fulfillment. It wrote into the constitution the amendment guaranting political equality to American citizenship, and it has never broken them nor counseled others in breaking them."—President William McKinley in his letter accepting renomination. Pitchford Tillman in a speech delivered in the Senate of the United States, February 24, 1900, said: "I know nothing about other states, but I acknowledge openly and boldly in the sight of God that we did our level best to keep every Negro in our State from voting." It is generally conceded that Tillman will be a member of Bryan's cabinet in case of Democratic success. During the Spanish-American war Afro-Americans were called upon to assist in maintaining national honor and defending the country's flag. For the first time in the history of the country a regiment composed of Afro- THE APREAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE THE GERMAN AMERICAN REHSE THE GERMAN-AMERICAN: THE ACT WOULD BE VERY AMUSING IF THE FEET DIDN'T STICK OUT. Americans, and officiered by men of the race from colonel down to corporal, was sent to Cuba. This event occurred under the McKinley administration. REHSE THE GERMAN-AMERICAN: THE Pitchfork Tillman claims that Democracy means white supremacy. Does he think he is telling something new? Every fool knows it, but, the chief of fools to the contrary and seems to take pride in belching his black heart and foul mouth the most common fact in history. If all Democrats were like Pitchfork Tillman would tell the truth of the party, let the world know its principles damnable as they are, the party long since would have been not, in a dying condition as at present but dead. The Crumpacker bill looking to the reduction in representation in Congress of those Southern States which have passed discriminating laws against the Afro-American will be passed by the next Congress. It will guarantee to the race political liberty. The charge has been made that the Republican party is trying to get rid of the Afro-American voter. This is refuted by the fact that the race has been given more recognition under the McKinley regime than at any time since the party has been in power. In his inaugural address, President McKinley condemned lynch law. Under the law the President is powerless to quell riots until called upon by the governor of the State. Occasionally an Afro-American is lynched in the North. It's an every day occurrence in the South. The North is Republican; the South Democratic. The Afro-Americans of the country have shared in the prosperity with which we have been blessed under the McKinley administration. THE RAMOUNT ISSUE BATAN 161 ACT WOULD BE VERY AMUSING IF T At every national convention the Republican party has pledged itself in favor of universal liberty.

The parish priests and his young assistants came and exorcised the demons, and things well for a few months. Marron had never been addicted to the use of holy water. One afternoon in summer a servant was sent from the family sitting room to the dining room for a glass of water; she came and reported that midway in the big dining room had built a wall and that she could not be yond it. Her face had grown singularly white and her knees shook. The senora went to the dining room and she too ran up against the invisible wall. Then she properly and decorously has is customary under such circumstances) fainted dead away. When the licenciado, who was away from home, returned he found his sore in a high fever and delirious. The servant what had happened, and he was mourned. He went to the dining room, but found a wall. Then he cursed them for a pack of imbeciles. But; he was uneasy in his mind for all that. The next day he remained in the house, his wife still ill. Once he arose and went to his library to fetch a book, and just inside the library door he found a wall, solid, on which you could rap with his finger. He had a gucer feeling about the stomach and in the throat, and went back to his bedroom to reflect and collect his senses. Then he returned to the library and found the wall once more. It was a rough wall he could tell by the touch, but he would not see it. He retired discomfur. Next morning, he having said nothing about the matter, he went once again to the library and found no wall. He accused himself of being a victim of an hallucination. But his brain was dizzy and his nerves unstruggle. The invisible builders were active for weeks; there were times when the dining room was obstructed, and always in the middle, across which a good stiff wall had been erected. Only no one could see it. Neighbors intimate with the Valdemoro family were called in, and they felt the wall and were wonderstruck. In an hour the family moved in, and for months the family could move in, but a few weeks ago the house became the scene of building operations. Valdemoro called in an architect, who made measurements, and finally submitted a plan; it was, in outline, a very good sketch of the old Allende-Marron house; the old walls were rising just as they had before. Jokers said that the dead-and-gone Allende were recovering their property, of which they had dispossessed. The Valdemores moved out during such a period, and made their walls passable. The house stands copied; Valdemoro is puzzling over a nice legal question, namely, the right of ghostly builders to erect a house within your own. The descendants of the old Mocho families of the city are wagging their heads and saying, "I told you so." On some days you can wander all over Licencado Valdemoro's new house; on other days you run up against unseeable walls. The fame of the house is spreading beyond. Some people say it is the work of the Marron family fancy it is a trick of "Col." Marron his chinchin. I don't pretend to know; I only put down the story as told by travelers from Querendaro.

The Eckstein Norton University is situated at Case Spring, Ky., twenty-six miles from Louisville, KY, in one of the most health- and quiet settlements in the state—the county being what is known as a prohibition county for many years.

He came to the city in 1880 and has lived here most of the time since. It is claimed that he was most instrumental in the organization of the Odd Fellows in this city in 1883. He also raised a military company which was named for the late Edmund Rice, who was then mayor of St. Paul. He also organized a brass band of thirteen pieces and furnished the instruments at his expense. He is entitled to much of the credit for the appointment of the fire company which has been in the employ of the city. He also assisted greatly in securing the appointment of Americans on the police force and for a time served on the force himself. He has been among the foremost in contributing and raising money for any marriage of Mr. W. H. Reynolds and Miss Zeila M. Evans, which will be solonized at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Mack G. Johnson, No. 414 Edmund street, Tuesday evening, Sept. 18.

The State President had invited Mrs. Lyles as one of the National officers to present a paper on the question, "Is Race Prejudice on the Increase or Decrease?" Mrs. Lyles took the side that race prejudice was the norm and hit by her able handling of the subject. The proceedings of the convention were published in the issue of this paper September 1st, which contained a full account of the discussions and of the business of that convention. Among the commendable acts of the convention, was to send a memorial to President McKinley, asking the appropriation of $40,000.00 to be made the widow of the late Postmaster Mrs. Lyles, was to assist the late City, South Carolina. Mrs. Lyles was invited to spend the day with the family of John Brown, Jr., at Put In Bay. It was one of the most enjoyable days spent by her on her entire trip. Mrs. John Brown, Jr., is an estimable old lady, and her daughter a most charming woman, who left nothing undone to make the visit of the National officers a pleasant and long to be remembered one. The spirit of their recollection is round the place, especially in one room where they have preserved the bullet-riddled clothes worn in the famous raid of Harper's Ferry.

Mr. Schlenner came to Minneapolis in 1857 and has always been a resident of the First Ward, living at No. 22 Grove Place, on Nicollet Island.

DAVID C. BELL For Republican Nomination for County Treasurer. Mr. Bell is well known to our older residents of this city and county who used to trade in the early days in the pioneer store of Bell Bros. Then later for many years as associated with the late Godfrey Scheitlin in the Minnesota Linseed Oll Works. Many of our people have had or are having business with the David C. Bell Company, of which Mr. Bell is president. The several hundred creditors of the unfortunate City Bank know him as the one receiver who paid out claims in full with interest. While not a politician or an office seeker, Mr. Bell's friends believe that his long and varied business career in this community, and his successful handling of large financial trusts, and his standing as a man and a citizen, fit him peculiarly for the very important duties of the County Treasurer's office. Mr. Bell has lived in Minneapolis since 1858 and is well known to all classes of people in this city and county. BENNETT Munroeapolis twenty-four years, residing at 1844 East Twenty-sixth street.

Megaarden, is conceded to be one of the best officials that ever held that important position. That Mr. Megaarden, or "Phil," as he is familiarly known, should be a candidate for re-election is very natural, as it is in harmony with political ethics to indorse a good official by giving him a second term. The sheriff's office in Hennepin county was never in better shape, and its business was never better in hand at present. The fact that everything does on so smoothly here is due largely to personal supervision given every detail of the office by the sheriff himself. He is found on his desk every week day, unless called away on official duty, and his office hours are not based on banking hours. Besides being thoroughly familiar with every department of the practical work in this office, Mr. Megaarden is an attorney of distinguished ability, and is able to decide quickly and in ac- One of the best attractions coming to St. Paul this season will be the Frank Tannheill, Jr., Company, presenting J. K. Tillotson's charming comedy-drama "A Young Wife." The play was presented here last season at higher prices and the public press endorsed it as one of the best attractions in the city. This year the company is stronger than ever and the cast was only selected for their respective parts after great care and consideration. Mr. Frank Tannehill, Jr., who heads the company, is well known to the theater-going public of St. Paul. His last engagement here was last season, when he was playing the title role in "Why Smith Left Home," and in the spring he was compelled to sever his connection with the above named attraction, owing to a previous engagement, to play the part of Horace Greengage Dobbins, the countryman from Vermont. This part, so well portrayed by Mr. Tannehill, gave him the greatest opportunity which he was quick to grasp, so much so, that some of the best critics have termed him a young "Jim Herne." The character of the "Young Wife" is in the hands of a charming young actress, Miss Ethelyne Palmer, who has won a host of friends for her artistic rendition of the war and the character of Ethel Douglas, the young wife, affords her great opportunities for displaying her artistic talents. The balance of the cast are all artists M. B. Born in Ohio forty years ago. Graduated State University of Iowa and University of Minnesota. Practiced law in Minneapolis from 1882 to 1890.

In a word, Phil is sheriff in every sense of the word. Philp T. Megaarden was born in Iowa, Oct. 2, 1864. He was the oldest of seven children, and when his father died in 1878, his studies were interrupted and upon his young shoulders devolved the responsibility of supporting the family. One of the first jobs in Minneapolis was driving a wood cart he lives in the south part of the city, where many steadfast friends in this part of the city, who have watched his success, have moved through the law school, his graduation and political interest. THE APPEALF finds much to admire in the sterling character of Phil Megaarden. He is a self-made man and one whose career is illustrative of what perseverance and grit will win for a young man in this country. of recognized ability, and the scenic investiture is promised to be most complete. THE BUISNESS MEN'S CLUB. The above named organization held its regular monthly meeting last Monday evening at the Guaranty Loan Restaurant, Minneapolis. It was the first meeting to which guests had been invited and it proved to be highly enjoyable and instructive, owing to the presence of Dr. C. M. Jordan, supt. of public schools of Minneapolis; Drs. W. S. Lofton and Albert Ridleyge, of Washington, D. C., and Prof. C. W. Wasser, of Dulceville, Ky., each of whom made very important contributions. Dr. Jordan was the principal speaker, his subject being his recent trip to Charleston, S. C. He made some startling statements and taken all in all furnished food for much thought. F. L. McGhee, W. R. Morris and Jasper Gibbs also gave short talks. The usual elegant lunch was enjoyed. Besides the gentlemen mentioned there were present: Gibbs pleasants, Z. E. James, A. W. Lee, G. R. Kall, C. E.
