Wichita Searchlight

The Wichita Searchlight. Emancipation The emancipation celebration at South Riverside park on last Saturday September 22nd.was a success in every particular.In the fore noon Prof.Fisher's Military Band made a circuit in a wagon along the residence streets. At noon the free barbecued meat was begun to be served and the actual number served were 325.The meat was deliciously cooked by that splendid barbecue,Anderson Griggs.At 3:30 the speaking was opened with a few very appropriate remarks by Rev.M.L.Copeland,master of ceremonies who afterwards introduced Hon.Thos.C.Wilson who splendidly addressed the people for 15 minutes:then followed the speaker of the day.Prof.E.J-Hawkins of Fort Scott.Kan,who made a grand address dealing with all the phases of the race problem with marked ability and throwing hot shot in the enemy's camp at every word.He was warmly applauded. Next was Hon.O.G Eckstien whose oratory is beyond question.He made a fine address and was roundly apqlauded:then followed Hon.Jno.D.Davis who ably spoke for 15 minutes Then followed the potato race and two foot races the winners. By actual count there were 580 people at the park during the afternoon,which.every thing considered was very nice size crowd. At night Peerless hall was crowded to the doors, and so much so, that the program which had been arranged for the evening was forced to be suspended, this was regretted very much. One of the pleasant and agreeable surprises of the day was the most excellent music furnished by Prof, Fisher's Band, they opened the eyes of all, young, old, white and black. The grand showing made by these young men adds a feather of credit in the cap of Prof. Burl Fisher who organized the Band and in the cap of Prof. W.G. Dostwick, who since has ably instructed the band, and the members by their attendance and work are deservant of much praise. On a whole it was up to the full expectation of the management.

The population of Butte, Montana, is 30,470, as against 10,723 in 1890. Belgrade, Montana is nearly wiped out by fire. West Riley lost his life. The United States embassy at Berlin sent $500 to the Galveston relief fund. Eastern Missouri Presbyterians are opposed to a revision of the articles of faith. Jefferson City, Mo., failed to give the required two-thirds vote for a city lighting plant. Currency shipments to the south and west have been heavy during the past fortnight. Anthracite coal cannot be had to the amount of the usual demand in the west for this winter. Do people realize that there are an even dozen of presidential tickets in the field, asking for votes? The state inheritance tax on the estate left by Collis P. Huntington will amount to more than $200,000. New York City has contributed $1,250,000 for Galveston's relief. Philadelphia has sent a total of $70,310. Virginia coal is ordered in large quantities for use of British war ships making their headquarters at Halifax. The anthracite producers are taking no contracts for coal beyond their stock in hand; or until it is ready for shipment. Seventy-two new coal mines have been opened in Prussia this year, increasing the output for 1900 by 2,500;000 tons. An American combination is about to establish 250 laundries in London, run by American employees and with American machinery. The United Typothetae of America opened its Fourteenth annual session in Kansas City on September 25. Delegates were present from many cities.

Now there are 20,000 workers making tin in the United States and their product brings $30000,000. We have been exporting tin for two years. WICHITA, KANSAS, SEPT. 29, 1900. GOOD ROADS CONGRESS. F. D. Coburn President---Address By Secretary James Wilson. A GREAT NATIONAL HIGHWAY. Topeka, Sept. 28.—The second day of the Good Roads congress gathered about two hundred delegates in the Senate chamber. Permanent officers were elected as follows: President, F. D. Coburn; vice president, Wm. Sims; secretary, Robert Stone; assistant secretary, E. W. Westgate. Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson delivered an address in the afternoon. In it he complimented Kansas thus: "I want to say right here that Kansas has a good man at the head of its agricultural department. He is F. D. Coburn, and is the only secretary of a state board of agriculture whose reports are read. Mr. Coburn is worth a great deal to Kansas, and his reports are read and re-read by those who are interested in such matters." W. H. Moore, president of the National Good Roads and Public Improvement association addressed the congress at length. Among the weighty paragraphs of his address a few are here given: "The subjects of good streets, improved sewerage, irrigating the arid lands and dredging rivers and harbors are all of the same family. Their improvement touches the social and commercial heart of the nation. This is the first time a national platform has contained a plank on both good roads and irrigation. The Republican party adopted these sections at Philadelphia, June 21. "The first necessary step in all states and the object of this congress now in session is to organize. The road question is the only one that is annually absorbing one hundred million dollars in this country of the people's taxes that practically is without organization. "There is enough elbow grease going to waste in the jails, asylums and alumshouses of Kansas to build 100 miles of good macadam roads each year. A national movement is now forming to build a national highway across the continent. Leading citizens of New York and California are formulating plans. General Nelson A. Miles has been made chairman. It will be constructed on similar plans of a great railroad, by each city, township, county district and state granting the right of way and subscribing part of the funds. Kansas is the center of the great national highway. It is likely to pass on a parallel from east to west through the Sunflower state. Why not organize and begin agitation and work here. Many conventions will be held in the central and western states before the national convention which will meet at Chicago November 19 to 22. It is about settled to hold the National Good roads, Good Streets and Irrigation Congress the same week, and have the same delegates attend both conventions. Committees will be selected to draft bills to send to each of the thirty-eight legislatures that will assemble next year, also to go before Congress and implore its co-operation and substantial aid. "I am glad to see the splendid interest in Kansas. The press of the state deserves the highest credit for the liberal space devoted to this state convention. You are now putting yourself in position to join one of the greatest of national movements." Silence is the wisest argument of the ignorant man. Credits Extended to Galveston. New York, Sept. 24.—The New York Credit Men's association has passed a resolution recommending the advisability of the extension of credits to customers at Galveston who suffered loss or whose property has been destroyed and suggesting the granting of new credit and further concessions as may be helpful and necessary to enable the victims of the Galveston disaster to re-establish themselves once more. Militia Officers Alert. Harrisburg, Pa., Sept. 25.—Governor Stone is taking an active interest in the operation of the soldiers and is being kept fully advised of their movements. Major General Miller is on duty at headquarters, with Colonel Elliott, of Philadelphia, assistant adjutant general, and Major Beilter, an aide on the division staff. Colonel Richardson, keeper of the state arsenal, has been at his post almost constantly, ready for any emergency or meet any demand that may be made for the troops at Shenandoah. TO FIGHT THE UNION LABEL. Typothetae is Planning a Campaign all Along the Line. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 28.—The campaign of the United Typothetae against the union label will be prosecuted more vigorously than ever. In many cities ordinances have been passed providing that the union label be placed on all city printing. The master printers in some cities have been fighting these ordinances in the courts on the ground that they are unconstitutional, and the report of the legislative committee recommended that the fight be continued until it ended in victory. In St. Louis and Atlanta, the committee stated, the ordinances have been repealed as a result of the fight on them. At the night session the emergency committee brought in a report in favor of raising a fund of $50,000 to fight union labor, and suggested that the members of the Typothetae be annually assessed 10 cents per capita of employees until the desired amount is raised. The report was adopted. American Troops Not Under Waldersee. Washington, Sept. 27.—Instructions of the secretary of war are cabled to General Chaffee that pending negotiations for settlement, a legation guard of a regiment of infantry, four troops of cavalry and a light battery under the command of General Chaffee will remain in Pekin for the protection of our minister and American interests, and that the remainder of General Chaffee's force, along with staff officers not required, stores, etc., will be sent to General MacArthur at Manila. The small force left in Pekin will not be included in any military operations which may be conducted by the allied armies and so will not fall subject to the direction of Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee, the commander-in-chief. Coal Shipments Fall off. Reading, Pa., Sept. 27.—The prospects are that coal shipments over the Philadelphia and Reading will drop to 400 car load daily, one-fourth the usual amount. The company is now preparing to lay off some of the men at its car repair shops at different points along the line. Hundreds of them will be suspended as the tie-up becomes more successful and coal trains are thrown out of service. Biggest Breakfast on Record. Paris, Sept. 25.—Under a tent covering 35,000 square meters 20,000 persons breakfasted as the guests of France in the Tuilleries gardens. The banquet was given by President Loubet to the mayors of the municipalities of France in honor of the exposition. It can safely be said that such a prodigious repast was never before undertaken. A Tremendous Oil Strike. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 27.—The South Penn Oil Company has made a tremendous strike in a new oil well in Lewis county, W. Va. The well is flowing at the rate of 200 barrels an hour, or 4,800 barrels a day. The tanks provided are too small to hold the great flow and the oil is being allowed to run into a creek, which has been dammed up, with a view of pumping it out later. Big Tank Collapses. Joliet, Ill., Sept. 25.—An 89,000 gallon water tank on the Rock Island road near the Rockdale plant of the American Steel and Wire company collapsed, flooding the wire drawing department, suspending work and destroying $2,000 worth of product. Telegraph wires down and traffic delayed. The estimated damage is $8,000. Flood in Pecos Valley. Carlsbad, N. M., Sept. 25. — During a tremendous downpour the Black river, fifteen miles below here, went out of its banks, rising 25 feet in less than an hour. A house standing near the bank, occupied by four men and a boy, was carried away. The men escaped, but the boy, named Willie Stamp, aged 14, was caught in the wreck and drowned. Two horses, wagons and other material were also carried off. The rise was due to a cloudburst in the foothills of the Sacramento mountains. Sue For Subsidies. In dependence, Sept. 27.—A big suit for subsidies is filed in the district court here by H. A. Truskett and S. M. Porter, of Caney, Kas.; J. H. Bartles, of Bartlesville, I. T., and others, against the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. These parties were the original promoters of the Kansas, Oklahoma Central & Southwestern railroad, which runs south from here through Caney, into the Indian country. The original company started the road which the Santa Fe is completing. CAKE=WALK THERE WILL BE A CELEBRATED CAKE -- WALK GIVEN BY THE Ladies of the Colored Children's ORPHAN HOME.

Mr. Conger to Arrange for Preliminary Negotiations. IF POWERS DISSENT THEN? Washington, Sept. 27.—In accordance with the statement made to Germany to the effect that the United States government is about to authorize Minister Conger to forthwith confer with duly authorized representatives of the Chinese government with a view to bringing about a preliminary agreement. Acting Secretary of State Hill is framing the direction to Mr. Conger. In view of the peculiarly delicate nature of the task to be confided to Mr. Conger, this is a work requiring much thought. The language of the note professing to state what Mr. Conger is to do, is unusual, and seems generally to indicate that he is about to undertake to bring the powers and China together; in actuality, he is to serve as a mediator, in part, at least. He presumably will arrange with the Chinese representatives, Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching, as to the place where they are willing to meet the representatives of the powers to discuss a final settlement, and try to fix upon certain broad principles that shall govern the conference. This program must be submitted to the powers to ascertain if they are willing to accept it. If so, then it may be that something in the nature of a joint international peace commission will deal with the Chinese representatives. Should the powers or any of them reject such a programme as Mr. Conger may be able to frame, then it appears that there will be nothing for the United States to do but to proceed with the final negotiations on its own account, taking steps to make sure that no subsequent action of the dissenting powers negatives any of the results secured by our commissioners in the settlement directly with China.

The India cotton crop is reported excellent and a good harvest of food grains is in good prospect. There is already a reduction in the relief list. Missouri gives 75 per cent of liquor licenses to the highway fund. Indiana builds highways by special assessment.

Saunders&Co, Chicago, 111 Will Adhere to Principles Laid Down. Washington, Sept. 27. —The report that Prince Tuan had been signally honored by the Chinese government has not yet been officially confirmed, but if it should prove true that Prince Tuan had been advanced to high station it may lead to serious consequences. The government has laid down the principle that no one in any way connected with the outrages shall have anything to do with the forthcoming negotiations and this applies to Prince Tuan or any others notably connected with the disturbances. Hemp Moving—Documents Captured. Manila, Sept. 25.—The insurgent demonstrations last week prove to have been more extensive than was at first reported.

The annual crop of mushrooms in France is valued at $2,000,000, and it is said that there are sixty wholesale firms in Paris dealing exclusively in them. In the department of the Seine there are some 3,000 caves in which mushrooms are grown. About 300 persons are employed in their culture, and they rarely leave the caves. Two Canals Binding Atlantic. It is asserted that the future will see two canals binding the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean. The value of such connection can not be estimated.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is Especially Successful in Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease EDNA FREDERICK. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave her haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for womenills — Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound — was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in harmony with the laws that govern the entire female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troubles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the only especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is: $5000 REWARD.—We have deposited with the National City Bank of Lynn, $5000 which will be paid to any person who can find that the above testimonial letter are not genuine, or were published before obtaining the writer's special permission.

I have a yellow, muddy complexion, feel tired, and have bearing down pains. Menses have not appeared for three months; sometimes I am troubled with a white discharge, and I also have kidney and bladder trouble. . .

PINKHAM:—I have used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound according to directions, and can say I have not felt so well for years as I do at present. Before taking your medicine a more miserable person you never saw. I could not eat or sleep, and did not care to talk with any one. I did not enjoy life at all.

That was a remarkable demonstration of what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the New York Central the other day, when engine No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled out train No. 11, the Southwestern Limited, made up of two mail cars, five passenger coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars in all. The total weight of the train was 1,832,000 pounds, or 916 tons, and the length of the train, including the engine, was 1,212 feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This engine made the running time of the train between New York and Albany, 143 miles, in three hours and fifteen minutes. There is no railroad in the world which has a better roadbed, more skillful engineers, or better equipment, backed by loyal men always alert for the safety of their passengers, than the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. What road can match its corps of men, from President Callaway down the long line of employees, to the humble and faithful trackmen who watch their sections of rails through the long hours of the night and day, in order to safeguard the lives of the travelers on trains whirling by their humble shanties, many of which nestle closely to the rails under their guardianship - Editorial from the Albany Times-Union.
