Wichita Searchlight

The Wichita Searchlight. A. B. Prof.E J. Hawkins. O.Ft. Scott. Kas. The above cut is a likeness of Prof. J. Hawkins who delivered the principal address here on Sept.22d. His address was logical,eloquent, and well delivered. After a few introductory remarks, he traced the events which led to the emancipation celebration, then the political situation was scanned, and expansion reviewed from the Pilgrim fares up to the present time. He then showed the progress of the event among the many good things he said, we especially mention this he said: " The Negro is turning to educate the hand as well as the head, and when they be more skilled laborers, labor unions will be compelled to unlock their persons, prejudice will be broken to extent, and Americans will for that there is a North,a South,a dark heart,or a white heart, but all become to believe and know they should, that there is but one was heart, the heart of the Ameri- an people". He concluded his remarks in an eloquent manner. aided the plaudits his auditors. All could be pleased to hear him again The Lake Shore railway company is preparing a pension system for its employs. "Oh Dear. It makes me tired," will never be heard all over this great country, for chocolates and caramels are to be admired in price. The Australian colonies are threatening to make reprisals upon American shipping for the cutting off their vessels from trade with Hawaii. American shipping laws prohibit vessels from using business between American ports. St. Joseph, Mo., has closed the account kept in the commercial club, which shows that $3.925.35 has been paid to Galveston. The Chinese minister in London has said that America is the only country strong enough to have taken such an initiative as she did when she stood against the German proposition. It is said that the British government has already been offered for underground mining rights in the Transalpine enough to go a long way toward meeting the cost of the war. The loss by the storms in various sections of Texas is estimated at a million dollars, exclusive of Galveston island. Fort Worth, Texas, had a flood last week, with a rise of 35 feet in Trinity River. The Cotton belt railroad track was carried away and the water was our feet deep about its station. All business had to stop. Frank P. Sargent was re-elected grand master of the Brotherhood of Automotive Firemen and his salary was raised to $5,000 a year. Associate Justice David J.

Cast a Vote as to How Theis Victim should die-Finally Decided upon Burning at the STAKE. Husband Touchedd the Match. Be Sure to hear him on the topics of the Day.The Ladies very cordially Invited. Come out every one, In the little town of Electric fifteen miles from its nearest station Wetumpeka, Ala., one of the most brutal and heineous acts of a ragging and blood thirsty mob of murders since that infamous, uncivilize and inhumane work of that howling mob in Paris, Texas, some years ago. This act of brutality was the burning at the stake of one Winfield Townsend, colored, at this little place. As usual he was charged with attempted assault. The news spread rapidly and soon the whole neighborhood was up in arms. All the stores were closed; the ginneries and saw mills shut down and every one joined in the sport of a "nigger hunt". The crowd divided, some scouring the woods near the scene of the alleged crime and others going to the penitentiary for blood hounds. The dogs were not brought to the scene until nearly dark. They were taken to where their victim was last seen and an exciting chase ensued. The dogs finally stopped at a tree in front of a store. The crowd, coming up soon, discovered their victim sitting on the limb of the tree. He was at once, roughly hauled down and preparations made to kill him Word was sent to the others that he was caught, and about 110's several hundred men had congregated, not to safely land the accused in prison or to convey him to any court of law where the formality of a trial, either impartial or partial could be had, but on the contrary, a rope was hurriedly placed around the neck of their victim, and one end thrown over the limb of a tree and hundreds of hand at once had hold and were eager and ready to swing this man into eternity without even the ferm of a trial. when suddenly a halt was made when some one suggested that the WICHITA, KANSAS, OCT. 6, 1900. State of Alabama must maintain a record of dealing with "niggers" equal, at least, to the heathenish and barbarish treatment which stands to the shame of the State of Texas. After a consultation it was decided that hanging was too common,too humane,so by a vote it was decided to burn their victim a live at the stake;the stake was made ready by some,while others securey bound him in chains,all being in readiness the husband applied the match;thus taking the law in their own hand,and thus avenging an alleged and unproved, legally attempted assault,by the commission of murder in the first degree Social Whirl in Pekin. The Westminster Budget remarks that winters in Pekin in the past have not been dull among the foreigners, and in support of the assertion quotes from the North China Herald as follows: "A French comedy at the British legation, where there is a specially built theater, is succeeded by a bal costume at the Russian, and that again by a concert at Sir Robert Hart's. Dinners follow one another aninterruptedly—varying from the strictly official function of the diplomatic corps to the jolly carousel of a students' mess, where speeches begin soon after the joint, stories with the cheese, and comic songs at 1 in the morning still find delighted auditors. Card parties, too, are many, increasing from the mild 'dollar and quarter' whist at the club to the 'ten dollar' limit and all-night poker parties in an attacke's rooms." To Hold Barrel Heads. Sometimes the smallest and simplest inventions are the ones which prove most serviceable and valuable. A recently devised contrivance has been made by J. E. Wilton of Minneapolis, which is so simple that the wonder is that some one has not thought of it before. The object is to make easier the putting of barrel heads in place and the holding of them there. Every one knows that a barrel head is one of the most rebellious things to work with and that it is apt to slip too far down on one side or the other at every attempt to put it in place. The little fixture here illustrated is a sort of hook of sheet iron, which hangs over the edge of the barrel by one end and at the other has a projecting part which holds up the barrel be on the lookout for such simple and valuable ideas. Sometimes fortune and fame are built on such small beginnings. POPE LIKES AMERICANS. Especially Their Handling of His Church in Their Islands. SAYS ARBHBISHOP IRELAND. London, Oct. 3.—Archbishop Ireland, who has arrived here from Rome on his way to the United States, in an interview is quoted as saying: "In one of the audiences which he granted me the pope said: 'We are well pleased with the relations of the American government to the Church in Cuba and the Philippines. The American government gives proof of good will and exhibits a spirit of justice and respect for the liberty and rights of the church. You will thank in my name the president of the republic for what is being done.' "When I repeated to Cardinal Rampolla (the papal secretary of state) my interview with the pope, the cardinal declared such statements were what he personally believed and knew to be true and that I was at liberty to repeat them to the American people. Furthermore, Cardinal Rampolla said that on no less than three different occasions petitions had been sent to the Vatican, in the name of the Filipino leaders, asking that direct, official relations be opened between them and the Vatican, but the Vatican has always refused to listen to such petitions, out of consideration for the American government." Catholic University Opening. Washington, Oct. 5.—The Catholic university of America opened for the coming scholastic year with the largest class of clerical and lay students ever enrolled by it. Nearly every section of the wester hemisphere will be represented during the current session. Besides the leading archbishops of the American hierarchy, nearly every bishop of prominence in the country has commissioned priestly students to take post graduate courses. Robbers in the Vatican. robbers in the vatican. Rome, Oct. 5.—Thieves entered the vatican, forced a safe and carried off securities worth 357,000 lire and 3,000 lire in silver. The safe belongs to the management of the apostolic palace which looks after the horses and carriages and the decorations of St. Peters cathedral. Evidently the burglar were well acquainted with the apartment and prepared for the theft. Thus far the investigations by the vatican police have been without results. Express Messenger Shoots. Council Bluffs, Iowa, Oct. 5.—Two men held up the Kansas City passenger train on the Burlington road three miles south of this city at midnight. Express Messenger Charles Baxter shot and killed one of the robbers and his body now lies in the morgue in this city. He was about six feet tall, powerfully built, apparently about 45 years old and had black hair and mustache. The second robber was at work at the express safe and the shot scared him into a cornfield. Yellow Fever Feared in Havana. Washington, Oct. 5. -Private letters received from Havana indicate that much apprehension exists among the Americans there regarding the yellow fever, as the conditions grow worse instead of improving. Civilian employees in Cuba seem to be subject to the disease and in several government offices many have been stricken. There is yet no fear of the fever spreading among the troops. News Confirmed by Wm. Washington, Oct. 4.—Mr. Wu, the Chinese minister has received official confirmation of the issuance of an imperial decree degrading Prince Tuan, Kangi and other officials for their course in regard to the recent troubles in China. The information agrees with that contained in a dispatch received by the state department from Consul MeWade at Canton. The minister has heard nothing of the designation of officials reported by Minister Conger to act in concert in peace negotiations, but he has no doubt it is correct. Free Tuition for Puerto Ricans. Chicago, Oct. 4.—The trustees of the University of Chicago at a meeting decided to give free tuition to ten of the Puerto Ricans who wish to be educated in this country, provided their living expenses are furnished by public spirited citizens. This action was taken in compliance with a request from M. G. Bumbaugh, United States commissioner at San Juan, Puerto Eico. CHINESE FROM HAWAII. May Come to the United States Under Judge Estee's Decision. Honolulu, via San Francisco. Oct. 3. United States Judge Estee has rendered an important decision regarding the rights of Chinese to enter Hawaii. It was in the case of Ah Sing, who came here as one of the crew of the ship Challenge and was refused permission to land in Honolulu. He was brought before Judge Estee on habeas corpus proceedings. The judge decided that, having shipped from New York the Chinese had a right to land in any other American port and Honolulu is now an American port. The decision is regarded as highly important as bearing upon the question of whether the many Chinese in the Hawaiian islands have a right to land on the mainland. A clause in the Hawaiian territorial act declares that the Chinese in Hawaii shall not be admitted to the coast of the United States. This clause is believed by some to be unconstitutional, and the decision of Judge Estee is in line with that opinion. There are about 20,000 Chinese in Hawaii. New Concessions to the Orient. Mexico City, Oct 5.—The concession for building the Chihuahua & Pacific railroad has been formally transferred to the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway company. The stamps on the document amount to $6,000. The Kansas City and Orient will build from Kansas City to Topolobampo bay, now called Port Stillwell. The west coast of Mexico is highly interested in the building of this short line to the United States. Sonora and Sinaloa, two west coast states that will benefit most by the new railway, are advancing rapidly, not only in agriculture and mining, but in manufacturing; and many Americans are settled there. Carnegie's Library Gifts. Philadelphia, Oct. 3.—The latest revised statement as to Mr. Carnegie's gifts to libraries shows that during the past two years he has aided fifty-one libraries to the amount of $4,500,450, in the majority of cases the money being employed for buildings. His total gifts to libraries amount to $9,600,000, of which $000,000 has been given outside the United States. Lutheran Synod. Topeka, Oct. 5.—The Kansas district of the Lutheran synod of Missouri, Ohio and other states convened in the German Lutheran church of this city and will remain in session until next Tuesday. Prominent members of the church from various parts of the United States will be in attendance. Prof. F. Pieper, of St. Louis, is president of the synod at large. Galveston Relief From Germany. Washington, Oct. 5.—The state department has received a draft for $500 from B. H. Warner, Jr., consul at Leipsic, which was contributed by the American colony at Leipsic, German firms and consular officers in Germany, for the benefit of the sufferers from the recent hurricane in Texas. Death of a Veteran Editor. Denver, Oct. 5.—C. E. Galloway, aged 80 years, died here from injuries received by being struck by a tramway car. He was believed to be the oldest newspaper editor in the United States. He had published and edited newspapers in Ohio, Illinois, Missouri and Utah. Galveston Orphana Adopted. San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 5.—The first lot of the 200 Galveston and coast country orphans which San Antonio families have agreed to adopt, arrived here and were given homes in well-to do families. Wreck in Oklahoma Guthrie, Oct. 2.—The regular passenger train, No. 448, John Rains, engineer, Ed Kitchen, conductor, jumped the track south of Waterloo. The smoking car was full, and, al though the clay coach and chair car also left the track there were no casualties except in the smoker. Two were killed and ten injured. The killed were Edmond Rowe, cattleman of Jonah, Texas, and Thomas H. Mayer, traveling man of Oklahoma City. Relief tains were sent from Guthrie and Oklahoma City. Rocr Immigranta Coming. Beer Immigrants Coming. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 2.—Hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of Boers will emigrate from South Africa to the United States and settle in the North- west. Theodore Von Grecht, of Holland, who has of late years made his home in the South African republic, is in St. Paul to arrange satisfactory railroad rates over the Western lines. Mr. Von Grecht will bring a large contingent of Boers to this country in the spring if conditions are favorable. VOL. II. NO. 19 ALL WILL FOLLOW AMERICA Even Germany Likely to Adopt United States' Course. PROSPECTS MUCH BRIGHTER. Washington, Get. 4.—Favorable news has reached Washington from the European chancellories indicating that complete agreement as to China is within sight. The agreement will be on the basis of the propositions laid down by Secretary IIay in his note of July 3, and the subsequent notes treating on that subject. The accord of Russia with the United States is more complete than was anticipated at first, and the reports show that all of the European nations probably are placing themselves in position to take advantage of the opening made by the United States and soon will be ready to begin negotiations for a settlement with the Chinese government. The Russians have already given notice of such purpose, and while the text of the French note on this subject has not reached the state department, the officials are satisfied that this is correctly reported, and that France, like Russia, is ready to negotiate at once. The German government upon careful inspection of the plans, for a settlement projected by the United States, finds therein nothing inconsistent with the German aspirations. Therefore, it may be expected that Germany, too, will be prepared soon to join in this common movement toward a settlement. It may be stated that altogether, the prospects of an adjournment of the Chinese difficulty without resort to formal war are very much brighter. Dynamite Damages in a Well. Dynamite damages in a web Independence, Kan., Oct. 5.—As a result of a dynamite explosion that killed her husband, Mrs. Sedina Fleming has brought suit in the district court here against A. C. Darrow, of Fawn Creek, at whose place the explosion occurred. Several persons were at work digging a well, on the Darrow place. One morning, before going to work, Darrow placed a stick of dynamite which was to be used in blasting on the stove to thaw out. It is said that the other persons in the house protested against it, but that he left the explosive on the stove until an explosion resulted which wrecked the house and killed Will Roberts, a workman, together with his wife and child, and also George Fleming. Mrs. Fleming asks for $10,000 damages as a result of Darrow's carelessness. Large Supply of Pulp Wood. Bangor, Me., Oct. 5. - The timber cut in eastern Maine this season will be the largest in years. The cut in this section, it is estimated, will reach 160 million feet and of this, 40 million will go into pulp. The price of manufactured lumber is higher than it was last year. As a result of the large timber cut a number of paper mills in the state which have been idle several months, will resume operations. The Great Northern Paper company's mill is about to resume work. Thirteen Drunken Indians. Topeka, Oct. 5. — Poor Lo is helping out the good roads movement in Topeka. Thirteen Kickapoos came down from the Pottawatomie reservation to take in Buffalo Bill's show. They all got drunk and were locked up. They were fined $3 each. They had spent all their money for liquor and as a consequence had to go to work on the rock pile. They don't like the work and appealed to the chief of their tribe to come and get them out. Federation of Commercial Clubs. Federation of Commercial Clubs. Topeka, Oct. 3.—John K. Wright, president of the federation of commercial clubs of Kansas has issued a circular letter to be sent to all the commercial clubs in the state calling attention to the fact that exceedingly low rates have been offered by the railroads between eastern and Kansas points. In the circular he sets forth the object of the federation of the commercial clubs of Kansas is to secure immigration to Kansas and advises that the clubs now take some action.

To the Grand Chancellors, Chancellor Commanders, Deputy Supreme Chancellors,and all Officers and members of the Order. Like myself, I presume that every true Knight throughout our Jurisdiction has awaited with great anxiety to know if any of our Brethren were among the unfortunate who were swept away by the terrible storm which visited Galveston, Texas, a few days ago, carrying death and distruction to all within its path. Nearly ten thousand lives were lost, and millions of dollars' worth of property was destroyed. Upon investigation I am just informed by Supreme Vice Chancellor L. M. Mitchell, who is also Grand Chancellor of the State of Texas,that a great number of our Brethren and their families are a mong the dead and suffering. We had three Lodges at Galveston,viz: Acme,No.64;Queen City,No.11;and Wright Cuney,No.63,with a mem bership of more than four hundred Many of them were killed.many injured;each of their Castle halls was completely destroyed,and scores of their widows and orphans are now in Galveston in a suffering condition, without home,food or clothing As our order is a charitable one.this is an opportunity for a practical exemplification of that principal we hold so dear.

Atkinson, widow of Governor Atkinson and a leader in the woman's movement, is a candidate for state librarian of Georgia. Mrs. Atkinson has for several months been engaged in the insurance business and has met with pronounced success. Many a woman, sick and weary of life, dragged down by weakening drains, painful irregularities, depression, and the hundred and one ailments which affect women only, has found in Pe-runa a bright star of hope, which has changed her rainy to joy, her suffering to health. No woman need suffer from the derangements peculiar to her sex, if she will give Pe-runa a fair trial. The majority of weaknesses which make woman's life a burden, spring from a simple cause. The mucous membrane which lines the pelvic organs becomes weakened and inflamed owing to strain, cold, overwork, etc. This causes cataract congestion, inflammation, painful irregularities, depression of spirits, irritability, weakness and suffering.

Police Lieutenant Edward J. Steele of Chicago, who died suddenly the other morning, took a prominent part in suppressing the Haymarket riot, his company being at the head of the column that advanced to disperse the anarchists. His clothing was riddled with bullets and he injured his wrist in clubbing one of the rioters senseless with his empty revolver. Lieutenant Steele was out for two days EDWARD J.

She began writing at the age of 11 and at 16 was married to an army officer with whom she traveled in Ceylon, China, Japan and Egypt. Her contributions to periodicals were at first returned with unfailing regularity, but she refused to be discouraged and kept on sending manuscripts to the publishers until they were compelled to give her a hearing, "Ideala," her first important work, was published her own cost, while "The Heavenly wins," perhaps her most successful effort, had to wait three years for a publisher. Sarah Grand's position in contemporary English literature has been the subject for much controversy. She has many friends and many enemies. Her real name is Mrs. Chambers McFall. Bryan's Home Run Hit. Back in the '80's when William J. Bryan, the standard bearer of the Democracy, was a lawyer at Jacksonville, III. he was a baseball enthusiast and lingered to a club. re. the baseball club of Morgan county bar. Recently this fact was brought to light by the finding of John W. Springer, one of the leading citizens of Denver, of a faded photograph, showing Mr. Bryan in the uniform of a ball player. Speaking ```markdown ``` costume, 1884. Springer says: "The picture of Mr. Bryan was taken after the club had participated in a vigorously contested game, one of a series of charity games played at Jacksonville, in the summer of 1884. The day the picture was taken, Mr. Springer recalls that the club of which Bryan was pitcher and himself catcher had been victorious over a team made up of the best players among the town store clerks. He also recalls that victory was pulled out of defeat in the ninth inning by Bryan's home run hit." Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To Cure or Moner Refunded by Your Merchant so Why Not Try It?

From the army recruiting stations in Chicago there has been gathered a formidable addition to the slang of the day. Strictly speaking, a "shave-tall" is a "griffin" or "coyote" or "rooster," but frequently is called a "pibler," and perhaps is known even more widely as a "ring-tailed snorter." All these are terms of reproach addressed to the "rookie," or military recruit, in the United States. The Best Prescription for Chills and Fever is a bottle of GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC.

Irrigation Destroying Fish Irrigation is destroying many fish in the rivers of Nebraska. Some time ago a dam was put in Shell creek, near Schuyler. The entire flow of water was cut off and subverted to the adjoining field, leaving the creek below to run dry. No water was left below the dam but small pools, and thousands of fish were killed on this account. People went into the small pools and threw out ten and fifteen pound fish of all kinds with pitchforks. The finest kind of cat, bass, etc., were secured. Read the Advertisements.

"I could'nt Sew another Stitch to Save my Life." A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to night. The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day and night, the weary form and aching head have known no rest, for the dress must be finished in time. To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity, may some day find their ailments a common cause. Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizziness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and strength, all indicate serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed system. For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is nothing so reliable as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I feel it is my duty to write and tell you how grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done for me. At one time I suffered everything a woman could. I had inflammation of the ovaries, falling of the womb, and leucorrhea. At times could not hold a needle to sew. The first dose of your Vegetable Compound helped me so much that I kept on using it. I have now taken six bottles and am well and able to do my work. Also a veil and dress, no bad effects from it. I am thankful to the Giver of all prosperity, and I cared suffering women. I recommend your medicine to every woman troubled with any of these diseases." Mrs. Sarah Swoder, 103 West St., La Porte, Ind., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—It gives me great pleasure to tell you how much good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. "I had been a sufferer for years with female trouble. I could not sew but a few minutes at a time without suffering terribly with my head. My back and kidneys also troubled me all the time. I was advised by a friend to take your meds. I had no trouble, but decided to try it. After taking the bottle I felt better. I continued its use, and by the time I had taken six bottles I was cured. There is no other medicine for me. I recommend it to all my friends." deposited with the National City Bank, of Lynn, Mass, $5,000 which will be paid to any person who was published to the above testimonials are not genuine, and were published before obtaining the writers' special permission. -LYDIA E.
