BOWERSOCK McKinley will continue to do business at good stand. We won't have a debased dollar any more, unwe will have a debased citizenship, Free silver majorities are always in an ratio to the illiteracy of the voters. A recent Democratic meeting one speak- declared. "The Negro has no more right the ballot than a two year old child has at a pistol." ^ The crowds that gather too see Bryan ar evidence of his popularity Jumbo the plant used to draw a bigger crowd of sight ers. Do not town and dream that McKin- y is sure of election. The enemy is wite like and hustling. The only way you defeat Bryan is by working for McKin- y. The Goebel election law of Kentucky is one of the most odious laws ever placed in the statute book. It was passed by the congress. none of the papers are putting forward the that Bryan, as President, would not go country much harm. Such a proposition not attract many voters; We want a president who can do some good, Michaël Tillmann has the gull to charge the Republican party intends to repeal the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth enlargements to the Constitution. The Afro- american voters are willing to take chances with the party, which has always stood for human liberty, The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL We have nothing startling to tell you this week as we have a good size headache. The TOFEKA CAPITAL with its last Sunday's large edition was well received in this city. It is sate to predict that such editions will be unto the CAPITAL like casting thy bread uyon the waters, it will be seen after many days. The Democrats do not want honest election laws. Those who want freedom from work may obtain it by voting for Bryan. Already under McKinley's first administration Afro-Americans have drawn from the Federal treasury, in salaries, the enormous sum of nearly $10,000,000. In Cuba the Afro-American soldiers astonished the world by their bravery and coolness under fire They were fighting to free the beautiful isle from the Spanish yoke It was President McKinley who commissioned 266 men of the race to lead their men to battle. The Democrats of the South are especially anxiously for the election of Bryan because they believe it will then be easier than it is even now, to deprive the Afro-American of his rights as a citizen. Bryan promise, if elected to do every thing in his power to destroy the gold standard. The people will not give him the chance. Bryans is the advance agent of misery, want an outgrown financial creed. Mr Bryan admits that the great newspapers are against him. He might also admit that the real y great men of his party are against him, that the great religious leaders are against him, that the great business men are against him. During the McKinley regime cotton mills employing Afro-American labor have been established in the South. The South be poor today without the black toilets, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen black men's right. A vote for Bryan is a vote for a state crust of bread and a bowl of charity soup. The Bryan anarchistic wing of the Democratic party is in favor of all the world as against the United States and the Old Flag. "Rally around the Flag, Boys," we'll defend it with our lives against the attacks of Bryan. Altgeld, Tillman & Co. and all the anarchist they can marshal. The wage-earner is as much entitled to honest money for his toil as is the banker for his bonds. But freesilvercrats, led by Bryan, want to pay the toilet with 50-cent dollars. You cannot add value to anything by diminishing the measure of value with which the thing is sold or exchanged. The destiny of every Afro-American in the North is identified with that of his Southern brothee. If the Democrats succeed, in wring the franchise from the people of the race in the South, the same thing will be done in the North. The contest against Negro suffrage is not settled. It is still being fought with bitterness. The Republican party gave the ballot to the Negro; the Democratic party is endeavoring to wrest it from him. D. R. H.

Some papers are claiming that Pooker T. Washington is a Democrat. This is not true. Mr. Washington, in a speech in Washington, D.C., said: "I at not a politician, but I am a Republican." President McKinley and Mr. Washington are close friends. A young man who has made life pl asant in the south, a hero for and to his race. In 1895, he was suggested for a seat in President McKinley's cabinet but for being enga- el at his life's work at Tuskegee he refused. He too is for the who'e Republican ticket. We have nothing to say of other folks but we are for the success of the Republican ticket and in the near future you may be somewhat suprised.

Be true to your countrys honor for after this election no one will know that Mort Albaugh ever "liwed". MARTIN VS. HAZEN FOR JUDGE. The election for the various county offices comes up this fall, but at present there does not seem to be much interest taken only in the judicial fight between Judge Hazen and Martin. From all indications the e is going to be an interesting fight for this position. Judge Hazen is the present officer and has held the office for nearly two terms, and Judge Martin seems to think that is long enough, hence he is making a fight to succeed him. Just who will win out we are not able to say however as we have up to this writing taken no interest. He Shortened It. A pompous butler one day announced some callers as follows: Mr. Edwin Algernon Pembroke Penny, Mrs. Edwin Algernon Pembroke Penny, and Miss Maud Victoria Penny." Other arrivals were announced at equal solemnity. Before the next "at home" the master of the house suggested that so much repetition and elaboration was unneccessary: that he would prefer to have his guests announced more briefly. The magnificent being bowed grave assent and said nothing. But his feelings had been wounded and he was, unlike most of his kind as he was majes ic. As before, the first to arrive were Mr. and Mrs Penny and Miss Penny. When they had ascended the stars they paused an instant at drawing room door; the next they heard themselves briskly announced to their dismayed host in the comprehensive formula, Threepence." Ex. An Eastern paper calls Bryan's efforts in speech-making rag-time oratory. Rag-time has been declared bad form by a long suffering public. Frank Grimes, will no doubt by his ex-position of honesty receive a larger vote than any man on the state ticket.

His candidacy for Chief justice is looked upon as a man if elected will be able. The Topeka Business College conducted by L. H.

In the Southern states about a month before election the Democratic committee meets and decides what the majority is to be.

VOL. 9, NO. 7. BRYAN'S DREAM S. B. Castle, formerly of this city, but now of Lincoln, in a letter to friend tells about a dream his neighbor, W. J. Bryan, had the other night. It is as follows; Bryan dreamed that McKinley died and went to heaven. St. P. ter stopped him at the gate and asked who he was. "William McKinley, president of the United States." All right, Mr. McKinley, take that seat at the right hand of God Next Mark Hanna ascended to the pearly gates, and was also required to identify himself by the guardian angel. "I am Mark Hanna, senator from the great state of Ohio," he said. "the great state of Ohio," he said. "Walk in," Mr. Hauna, and take that seat at the left hand of God." Then the dreamer thought: that he died and wended his way to to the realms of bliss. In reply to St. Peter's question concerning his identity, he proudly replied, "William Jennings Bryan, orator statesman and soldier from Nebraska." Come in, Mr. Bryan, come in, exclaimed St. Peter. "I'm glad to meet you. God, you get up and let Mr Bryan have your chair." ...Ex' McKINLEY ENDORSED The undersigned members of the National Afro-American Press Association unreservedly endorse the foreign and domestic policy of the National Republican Administration and believe that the best interest of the country at large, and Afro-American people in particular, will be served by a consistent support of McKinley and Roosevelt in the coming election.

You hear these words every day; as often as you meet your friends just so often are these words repeated. More often likely you speak the same significant words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well most of the time. Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis., whose portrait we publish, writes that she suffered for two years with beard-down pains, headache, backache, and had all kinds of miserable feelings, all of which was caused by falling and dammation of the womb, and after doctoring with physicians and nummer medicines she was entirely cured by A. MRS. ELLA RICH Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If you are troubled with pains, clinking spells, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, headache, backache, and always tired, please remember that there is an absolute remedy which will relieve you of your suffering as it did Mrs. Rice. Proof is monumental that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the greatest medicine for suffering women.

The Hand of Fate Intervened and the Man Alone Succumbed—The Barbour- Southgate Affair—Survivor Tells the Story. (Special Letter.) The strange story of how Helen Southgate, the adopted daughter of Bishop Southgate, was lured by Henry Grosvenor Barbour to court death has been told in the girl's own words two days after the tragedy in the St. Charles hotel, Brooklyn. On Wednesday, Sept. 12, Henry Barbour's arguments in favor of suicide prevailed and Helen greeted to die with him. But the tragedy was postponed, only to take place on the following day. On Thursday the St. Charles hotel was selected for the murder and suicide. After Helen Southgate agreed to die with him. But the tragedy was postponed, only to take place on the following day. On Thursday the St. Charles hotel was selected for the murder and suicide. After pouring his snar Helen Southgate. cious arguments for death into the ears of his companion, Barbour fired one bullet into her breast and one into his head. The last bullet killed him, but the first only injured his companion. With Barbour dead by her side, Miss Southgate was at once relieved from the power of his influence, and wounded as she was she fled from the place. On Saturday she was discovered in Seney hospital, and told the story of the tragedy. In the rectory of the Church of the Beloved Disciple a heart-broken father, the Rev. Dr. Henry Barbour, stood above the body of his son, a suicide, and uttered this single cry: "If he had only been murdered! If he had only been murdered!" He had long feared, he had almost expected some such ending to the life of his prodigal son. Yet, with a faltering faith, he had prayed God for some miracle to happen; something which would save the young man from himself, from his weak nature, from his habits strongest than his impulses from the of his prodigal son. Yet, with a faltering faith, he had prayed God for some miracle to happen; something which would save the young man from himself, from his weak nature, from his habits strongest than his impulses, from the nature to do evil which seemed to be born in him, from the devils which possessed him, as they possessed men in the olden time; from the frightful devil of unbelief, the worst of all which haunted him. But all his prayers had gone for naught. The son—Henry Grosvenor Barbour—had killed himself in circumstances which have few parallels. He had fired a bullet into his brain through the mouth, after killing, as he supposed, the woman between whom and him existed one of those strange, inexplicable passions which seem more like madness than what they are called—love. "Find Helen Southgate," cried the afflicted father to the police. "Find Helen Packers Forbes, the beautiful adopted daughter of Bishop Southgate, whom I loved ocarer than a father, and you will find my son's evil genius. You will find the woman who can tell you the reason why he slew himself. You will find, I believe, the woman who accompanied him to that house of death." This clew led to the house of Miss Borbés' aunt, in Second place. There it was found that the girl had been a visitor, but had been taken away to the Seney hospital. She had toothed home after the shooting. Through her breast was the path of the bullet, the first one fired by Barbour in his mad wish that they should die together. By chance it was deflected, and instead of penetrating the lungs or reaching some vital organ, it had gone transversely, coming out at the right side and leaving a painful, but by no means deadly wound. Artificial Milk. "A stock company is forming," says a promoter, "for the manufacture and distribution of artificial milk on a vast scale. Our chemists tell us that the article is just as nutritious as the best cow's milk, and we are experimenting with it on babies and sickly persons, with most gratifying results in the way of increase of weight and so on. The water, fat, albumen, casein and sugar, which we use for basis, are all of the finest quality. Our gases—carbonic acid, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphureted hydrogen—are filtered three times in our patent gas filter before we use them. Our kreotin, pepton and tyrosin are soaked for 24 hours in pure spring water tanks. There are other constituents besides—I can't give their names away—and they, too, are washed with the utmost care. Artificial milk is, altogether, a much cleaner thing than the natural product. Philadelphia Record. A wall resembles a fish when it is scaled.
