President Roosevelt, is in this city en route to Yale's bicentennial at New Haven, where he will repres. Tuskegee university. Mr Washington declines to discuss the criticism of the President for extending to him the hospitality due a colored scholar. Ex. B. H. Tracey was turned down for U. S. District attorney at Washington. Ed McK. ever will be assistant United states attorney at this place the way the story goes. The shop at Edward Stevens by the Throop Hotel proprietors as alleged makes it look small where only one dollar is envolved and also looks dark for the modern Negro's honesty. Some white men are too d...m quick to look up and question a colored man's integrity. We do not believe there is a more honest or square man in this community than Mr. Stevens. He, like other great and small men may have his faults, but we don't believe he ever stole a dollar from any one, he has bee nin positions no doubt to steal if he wanted too, but he did not.

He was serving his third term in his town ship as clerk when he was elected probate judge. He will recieve the support of all classes and parties when the time comes for his re-election, by the manner and way he is serving his friends. A. REMARKABLE VERDICT, Alabama Jury Vindicates Sheriff Who Protected a Negro Prisoner, One of the most remarkable criminal trials in the history of the country has just been completed at Asheville, Ala; where an attempt was made to convict a brave sheriff who stood by and protected his prisoner from a mob and finally killed a member of that mob. It was the first time that a southern mob ever met a man brave enough to defy its unlawful methods, and the decision just made is of great importance. The verdict meets with general approval, for its sad state of affairs when a man has to be tried for doing his full duty. If there were more Sheriffs like North, there would be fewer lynchings. Ex. Hoa, F. Dumont Smith, Senator from Kinsley and Edward county is being urged to become a candidate for some state position. The Senator has not yet shown his hand but it is believed that he is either fishing for Gov. or U. S. Senator.

It is right to say that he too will become a factor in that part of the state in the near future for anything he wants. Chief Stahl will go down in History as a man who tried to suppress the liquor traffic in Topeka and thus far he has failed also will Judge Disney of Oakland The only thing that a howling mob will say a Negro is fitted for and that is for the army They say he makes a good soldier while they make the greatest cowards in all earth. None but the right kind of people can stay in business in this city. The devils have refused to pay for the paper and did us all the harm they could but good people stick to us. There are some jealous white people in this city who don't like us but we suppose its all because we don't run a joint and call them "lords." Be as it may the fraternal brother often forgets how to act by the mannlisted in the same business he is. We will give you a few surprises in a few days regarding the farmers and good people of Pratt county what they are doing these days of scar ity of corn and wheat With such man as Richter for Governor, Chas F. Scott for congressman at large, Chas Curtis for United States Senator, J. D. Bowersock from second district and a few more lesser light Kansas will soon be back to her rightful fold to which she properly belongs. The above named persons are all good men and will take like hot cake among all classes all of them are acquainted with the ways of the colored people and each of them lives in cities populated by them and they are always willing and ready to promote a colored man's interest. Let the loud mouth politician beware and remember this kind of a coterie when the time comes. HON. S.E. YOUNG REGISTER of DEEDS PRATT KANSAS. One of the best known men in Pratt County is S. E.

London, Aug. 21.—The Mark Lane authority, summing up the crop situation, says: The best authorities estimate the wheat crop of the United Kingdom at 56,000,000 bushels; that of France 300,000,000 bushels, and the crops of Belgium and Holland at 40,000,000 bushels; a total of 396,000,000 bushels for the great wheat importing area of Northwestern Europe; which needs 664,000,000 bushels. America, with home wants not exceeding 400,000,000 bushels, has 675,000,000 bushels, and is, therefore, able to deal with the deficit single-handed.

Large frame buildings are being erected on them and stock is being put into them. In many cases the buildings are only temporary, and waiting until brick can be made. The making of brick is delayed by the difficulty of securing the privilege of starting brick yards on claims. The homesteaders want first to know what effect this might have on their rights. Rock Island stations are congested with freight. Foodstuffs are the first to be put on wagons for their distribution and this management has kept down prices. It is remarkable that during all the rush of thousands no one has been killed or injured by or on Rock Island trains. The masses of people would crowd trains, not being particular about cars, and freight cars were satisfactory, yet no accident has occurred. One very dangerous thing in Lawton is the open wells, some of which are 35 to 40 feet in-depth, and five to six feet wide. GERMANY TAKES A HAND With no Intention of Violating Monroe Doctrine. Berlin, Aug. 20.—Newspapers discuss the South American trouble. The Post, referring to the steps contemplated by Germany, says: "The imperial government, of course has no intention of mixing itself up in American quarrels, for Germany has no special interest to defend. On the other hand, the important financial and business interests of German subjects demand adequate protection, which the government will give. "The Post does not believe that the newspapers of the United States will see in this a violation of the Monroe doctrine, since Germany's action is wholly non-political and merely protective of business interests. The papers also believe that Washington will find nothing objectionable in Germany's action." Official circles here admitted to the correspondent of the Associated Press that the Post's utterances on the subject of Germany's South American policy were inspired, emphasizing the fact that the authorities at Washington were fully informed as to Germany's intentions and were satisfied therewith. Mob Shoot Wildly Pierce City, Mo., Aug. 21.—A mob of 1,000 armed citizens hung a negro who was believed to be the guilty party in a rape and murder case. After the negro was strung up the mob began shooting at the body and a small boy was shot dead and several men wounded. There were two negroes hung during the night and the mob waited for a passenger train to capture a Pullman porter and hang him. Swiss Get American Work. London, Aug. 20.—A dispatch from Geneva says the electrical engineers of Zurich have obtained a contract to supply all the machinery for the new electric installation at Niagara Falls. It will consist of eleven turbines of 55., 000 horse power each. Mexico has also placed an order for an electric station of 100,000 horses power with the same firm. Thinks African War Ended. London, Aug. 20. The Sun says it hears that the concentration of General Botha's forces on the borders of Zululand does not foreshadow a fight with Botha, but his surrender in pursuance with an understanding reached between General Botha and Lord Kitchener. The government is so satisfied that the war is virtually over; that Lord Milner, now on his way back to South Africa has in his pocket the draft of a complete constitution and plans for the future government of the annexed territory. Trainload of Horses Arkansas City, Aug. 19.—A train load of horses passed through the city. There were twenty-three cars in the train and Yardmaster Reed says it is the longest train of horses he ever handled in the yards at this point. The horses were from Texas and New Mexico. They were bought by the government agents for use in the regular army. They were all good sized animals and there was not a white one in the bunch. Imminent Miners' Strike. Pittsburg, Kas., Aug. 22.—The situation in the affairs of the "Big Four" mining companies, looking to a settlement of difficulties between them and their employees is not at all encouraging. Some of the companies decline to come into the conference, while others refuse to agree to the basis of settlement proposed. National President Mitchell has been asked to come here and it looks as though an ugly strike, affecting the mines of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Indian Territory will be called. Railway traveling in Great Britain is the safest in the world. In America, one passenger in every 2,400,000 is killed; in France, one in every 19,000,000; and in Great Britain, only one in every 28,000,000. World to End this Year This is the recent decision of one of the prominent societies of the world, but the exact day has not yet been fixed upon, and while there are very few people who believe this prediction, there are thousands of others who not only believe in the best medicine to cure dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation, billlousness or liver and kidney troubles. A fair trial will certainly convince you of its value. The men who succeed are those who arrive promptly on time.
