The Wichita Searchlight. SUCCESSOR TO PITTSBURG PLAINDEALER. Honor to Noblest Ambition. I honor that man whose ambition it is, not to win laurels in the state or the army, not to be a jurist or a naturalist, not to be a poet or a commander, but to be a master of living well, and to administer the offices of master or servant, of husband, father and friend. Against Trusts All the Federal legislation a gainst trusts were placed there by Republican Congresses. When th Bellini's Highest Structure. Berlin's Highest Structure. Berlin's highest structure, apart from the churches, is the 318-foot high chimney of the electric elevated road powerhouse. Only two church steeples surpass it, that of the new cathedral, 330 feet, and that of the Kaiser William memorial church, 340 feet. sarings of Britain's Poor. The report of the British Registrar General shows that the sums in the government savings banks to the credit of the depositors aggregates £130,-118,605. There are eight million depositors or one in every five of the population. The average amount per head is highest in Ireland, where it works out at £21 5s. England coming next with £16, and Scotland last with £13 12s. Monument to Dutch Settler. A monument to Dirck Wesslesen Ten Broeck, who successively held the office of magistrate commissary, recorder and mayor of Albany in the latter part of the seventeenth century, has been unveiled at Clermont, N. Y. The monument was erected by dependants of the Dutch settler and it bears this inscription: "Dirck Wesslesen Ten Broeck. Born Dec. 18, 1638. Died at his Bouwerie on Roelof Janus's Kil Sept. 18, 1717." A Wealthy German Author. Unlike most German authors, Gerhard Hauptmann is a wealthy man. He had some means by inheritance, and added to them a great deal by an early marriage, while his plays are profitable, too. Building villas is his carotie way of investing his earnings. His first villa was in Siliesia, the near near Berlin, the third in the giant mountains, and at present he is building a fourth, in accordance with his own plans, at Blasewitz, near Dresden.

Goodwyn, from Alabama, writes the following letter: The Peruana Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Guestlemen—I have now used two bottles of Peruana, and am a well man today. I could feel the good effects of your medicine before I had used it a week, after suffering with catarrh for over a year. Respectfully, A. T. Goodwyn. Catarrh in its various forms is rapidly becoming a national condition, and喙ed remedy has been discovered by Dr. Hartman. This remedy has been thoroughly tested during the past forty years. Prominent men have come to know of its virtues and are making public utterances on the subject. To save the country we must save the people. To save the people we must protect them from disease. The disease that is cause the most prevalent and stubborn is catarrh. : Public men of all recognize in Peruana a national remedy of unequaled merit.

CONSUMPTION Against Trusts, All the Federal legislation against trusts were placed there by Republican Congresses. When the Democracy had power it failed to enact a single law against trusts, though they were in existence at the time. Mr. Bryan durug his service as Congressman never proposed a single bill against the trusts. The Republican party on the matter of trust legislation has proposed to go further than any other party, by voting in the House for an amendment to the constitution which would give Congress unlimited power, but with due respect to rights of states to wipe out the trusts. It was defeated by Democratic votes, a two-third majority being required. Every Democrat but five voted against the only remedy that will end the trusts. Every prosecution under the present Federal anti-trust laws has been conducted by Republican attorney generals. When Democracy was in power there was neither prosecution nor legislation. These are facts of record. The Republican party is the party of action; the Democratic party the party of broken and unfilled pledges.—Cincinnatti Times Star.—Ex. BRYAN CALLED DOWN. Acting Secretary Mieklejohn sent a letter to W.J.Bryan concerning his speech made at Tipton,Ind in which he is reported as saying we have the Sulu treaty which recoguizes Slavery.The acting secretary quotes a letter from the secretary of war to Gen.Otis,dated Oct.27 1899,refering to this treaty and saying it should be distinctly communicated to the Sultan of Jolo that this agreement was not in anyway to be deemed to authorize or give consent of the United States to the existence of Slavery on the Sulu Archipelago,which was made impossible by the thirtaenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The Star Of Disfranchisement Is Appearing In Kansas. It was seen in this city on Oct.15 1900.While down in the city on that day.I thought to go by the city building and chanced to go in city police court which was then in session;a case was being tried in which a Colored lady was charged with disturbing the peace of a white woman.It was charged that the Colored lady had killed the other woman's chickens and than abused her,using language,it was claimed.not permitted in print. The plaintiff's witnesses testified to the same. But the defendant proved conclusively that the tesilimony and allegatiious were false:and that the real reason and cause was that the white woman had allowed her children to set the dogs on the Colored woman's chickens killing a few and driving the others home. She drove the dog home, caught WICHITA, KANSAS, OCT. 20, 1900. chicken and showed it to the white woman to prove that it was not her fowl. The white woman went inside and would not look at it.The defendant's statement was plain and she a person of repute, she also proved that the plaintiff's witnesses were not present, but were more than 200 yards away with a hedge fence between them. The court was interrupted just then by the white woman calling the Colored woman a sknk, the court after threatning a fine on both proceeded with the case. The venerable judge like Festus,Govern or of Judea,smiling to do the Jews a favor in the presence of the white lady,was heard ringing through the halls of the court 'gnilty', I fine you,the Colored woman, $5.00. The fine was paid, though unjustly placed. Upon consulting the jubge after the trial and asking him how he could justly fine any one on such evidence, he admitted that the complaining witness was rotten and had been before him on more than one occasion and their witnesses also, but with meek and quiet smile did he whisper this after court and the fine paid.

TO BAR NEGRO VOTE in KANSAS. After A Generation Of Freedom The Democrats And Fusionistare Said To Be Planning To DISFRANCHISE The Negro Voters Of Kansas-Want towin Reliable information has been received at Republican state headquarters that the Democrats and Fusionist will endeavor to disfranchise the Negro voters of Kansas on election day.The reports to that effect are coming in from several sections of Kansas,so that the movement seems general.The following letter from W.T.Buck,secretary of the Republican committee of Nemaha county,is a fair sample of the entire lot: "Morton Albaugh,Chairman" "Dear Sir:- The Democrats here say that the Negroes have no right to vote,and that they propose to bar them from voting here on election day.Please advise me what to do to protect the rights of the Colored voters." Similar information has been received from Wyandotte, Graham, Bourbon, Shawnee, Douglas, Crawford, Cherokee,and Sedgwick counties,centers of Colored population. Having been unable to corral the Colored vote,the Democratic and Fusion managers now propose to adopt South Carolina methods and prevent the Colored citizen from voting,The Democrats claim that, under section 1.article V. of the state constitution, Colored males are barred from voting. It reads: "Every (white) male person of 21 years and upward who shall have resided in Kansas six months next preceding any election, and in the township or ward in which he offers his vote at least thirty days next preceding such election shall be deemed a qualified voter." The Kansas constitution was adopted in 1859 and went into operation in 1861. Since then the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution has been adopted and, as a note to the above quoted section in Webb's general statutes of Kansas,the author says : " The word "white" in section one became inoperative by force of the fifteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States, which took effect in 1879." Chairman Albaugh of the Republican State committee,ridicules the scheme hatched by the democratic and fusion managers to shut out the Colored vote. "Of course, the democratic and fnsion manipulators are liable to try most any sort VOL.11. NO.21 NEGRO KANSAS. On Of Freedom rats And Fu- Said To Be ing To UNCHISE Voters Of ant towin of a scheme,"said he. "Like the drowning man, they are grabbing at straws. They realize their coming defeat in this state and are growing desperate It was shown up a few days ago where they proposed to disfranchise the Kansas soldiers in the Phillippines. Now they are figuring on barring the Colored vote. The next move they make will probably be to attempt to disfranchise every body who will not vote their ticket. In the matter of trying to disfarnchise the Negroes, they are simply working along the lines predicted by the Redublicans,namely, to gradually wipe out Negro suffrage in every state in the Union. They have already disfranchised the Negro in seven Southern states and are extending their work along that line just as fast as they dare go. "The democrats and fusionist will have the election boards in Kansas this fall," he continued, "and by virtue of thss fact, they may have evolved the scheme to shut out the Colored voters, who are virtually all Republicans. But that is a game that two can play at. "The election in Kansas this time will be open and fair if it is possible for the Republicans to make it so. What we want is an honest election and a fair count, and the Republicans will see that we get it. The democrats and fusionist are beginning to cry "Stop thief in order to hide their own attempt of skulduggery, such as the disfranchisement of the Colored vote, but who are not fooling any body but themselves.The Colored citizen has just as much right to vote in Kansas as the white citizens and the Republicans of the state will protect them in their rights. No South Carolina electtons methods will be permitted in Kansas and the democrats and fusionist are foolish to think of resorting to them." FREE TO INVENTORS. The experience of C.A.

He was found by the servants in the morning when they went to open the study, rd was lying on the floor near the window— which was wide open. You know how bitterly cold it was last Easter? Well, {t had been snowing hard all night, and it had drifted in and was lying thickly on his shoulders, Had any trace of iis assailant been possible on the hard ground the snow had covered 16 and this showed that the deed must have been done early in the night be- fore it began. There were no signs ot any struggle, nor was anything taken; and they fancy he must have been asleep in his chair, for death was caused by two terrific blows on the back of the head. Now, Mollie, I have told you ail, and you must not let this depress you, or 1 shall feel more than ever to blame. Joyce will be delighted to have your companion- ship, afd the White House is not so very far off, you know.” , With a great effort Mollie shook off the vague feeling of coming evil that had fallen upon her, and she looked up at her friend with an attempt at a smile. « Mrs, Anstruther’s face was rapidly getting familiar to her again; her voice seemed a pleasant echo from the past. Even the little way she had of shaking her head to emphasize her words was the same as of yore. She and Mrs. L’Estrange had been left widows about the same time; but while one had made the rash marriage that had ruined her life, the other had devoted herself to her two child- ren and their interests, Mollie had seen little of them since she had been at school, for when she was at home for the holidays, they had been away; but she had happy recol- lections of @ white-frocked little girl who was Joyce, and a tall boy who used to send them flying to and fro in a swing under some great trees, “Thank you yery much,” she said, straightening herself and sitting up. “It is nice to think that I shall have kind friends near me. I—I—it feels rather lonely coming home like this, you see. And tuough I hated—that is, disliked Mr. Barlowe, still, it is a ter- rible thing to have happened, and there is my half-sister Kate—” “Yes, yes, of course. Well, Mollie, your mother and I were true friends, though Mr. Barlowe prevented us see- ing too much of each other in later years. Come to me whenever you like, my child.” “Oh, I will,” responded Mollie more cheerfully, “Tell me, Mrs. Anstruther, shall I like Madame Dubois; do you know her?” Mrs, Anstruther moved uneasily, and drew out her watch. “We shall be at Reverton in a few minutes now,” she exclaimed almost in a tone of relief. “Of course, not having been friendly with Mr, Bar- lowe, I do not know his sister well; but we are on speaking terms, and Henri Dubois comes over to play ten- nis with my young people when he is at home. Now, here we are, and don't forget that you are to come to us whenever you like.” With the uncomfortable impression that Mrs. Anstruther was trying to make the best of things, Mollie thank- ed her, and the next moment the train stopped at the dear old country sta- tion she remembered so well, and she was in Reyerton once more! There was only one person on the platform—a tall and. rematkably bandsome woman, with a dark, al- most masculine face, and piercing black eyes under heavy brows, and these same eyes fell upon the uncon- scious Mollie as the train slowly glid- ed into the station, and took in every detail of the sweet little face with a strange, quick intentness. She was most elegantly attired in half mourning, that showed off her splen- didly powerful figure to the greatest advantage; and as Mollie sprang out and looked round she came up quickly with a smile on her wide, thin-lipped me ith, “Miss L'Estrange, I think,” she said, in a loud, deep voice. “I am your aunt, Madame Dubois, and I have been greatly looking forward to your ar- rival. Ab, Mrs. Anstruther, how are you?” Her aunt! Leonard Barlowe's sister her aunt! Mollie's brain reeled at the notion, while her hand was shaken with a firm, nervous grip that almost made her scream out with pain. ‘Then* she was conscious that Mrs. Anstruther had kissed her kindly at parting while responding very distant- ly to Madame Dubois’ greeting, and then they were bowling through Rev- erton ina high mail phaeton behind a pair of fine horses, which madame drove with consummate skill. In spite of her desire to look out for old landmarks, the girl was furtively studying the hard fece by her side as standing in well-kept grounds, anc jooked very much as she had remem: bered it all her life; but she could no repress a shudder as she thought o ‘what had happened there, and in im: agination saw her stepfather’s tall form at the hall-door as they drew up before it. “Where is my half-sister, Kate?” she inquired, as she followed madame, who was talking vulubly, into the drawing-room, “I will send for her. Poor child she is not strong; she makes me very anxious,” she returned, sweeping over to the table, and pouring out tea in the energetic manner that seemed habitual to her. “You will hardly know her again, or, indeed, the place. My brother made so many improye- ments.” “It did not want improving,” ex- claimed Molly, shortly. “What was good enough for my mother was cer- tainly good enough for Mr. Barlowe.” Madame Dubois shrugged her shoul- ders. Though an Englishwoman she had many French gestures and ex- pressions, and her black eyes swept over Colonel I.’Estrange’s young daughter with a lightning glance, “You are impulsive, sweet child,” she said, shortly. “But you will soon grow to like the changes, and be very happy with me and your sister.” “My half-sister,” corrected Molly, quietly. “Whom I was never allowed to love as a child, of whom I know nothing. How did she bear her fath- er’s dreadful death?” Madame Dubois dropped the sugar- tongs with a loud clatter, and sudden- ly her face changed to an ashen bue, her whole demeanor altered, “How has she heard it?” she saut- tered between her teeth. Then, curn- ing flercely to Mollie, “Never mention anything belonging to it it you do not wish to drive me crazy! Is it not al- ways before me day and night, day and night?” And she sank back in her chair, as if unable to sit up, while her eyes swept round the room in a strange, cowering manner, Astonished at the effect of her words Molly sat blankly regarding her. Had she spoken in sorrow her tender-heart would have melted toward her at once, even though she was Leonard Bar- lowe’s sister, but there was only an odd, frightened passion in her voice and bearing, and something in her hard face repulsed and kept Mollie ‘silent, while, before she could think of anything suitable to say, madame “had recovered herself and had sug- gested that she take off her outdoor garments. Like 4 girl in a dream she followed the tall, strong figure through hall and passages that were the same, yet different, and finally to a room that she did not recognize at all, where a housemaid was unstrapping her trunks, And this was her homecom- ing, this was the way she returned to her mother’s house—a stranger among strangers, where everything was altered, where not even a servant who knew her remained. Dismissing the maid, she threw herself down by the bed, dark forebodings and dread weighing down her usually bright na- ture, and a dreary longing for the mother with whom every spot in Chal- font had been associated tearing at her heart-strings. Poor little schoolgirl! She fought down the choking feeling in her throat with mingled pride and resolu- tion. Colonel 1/Estrange’s daughter must not give way before strangers. But oh, it was hateful to think that she was in the charge of this Madame Dubois! Then she began to reflect that she must make the best of it, and certainly tears would not help her, so she buried her head in the white quilt and prayed for strength to forgive her enemies and think no evil. “What are you doing?” demanded an imperious voice suddenly, Mollie was so startled that she sprang up, and, turning round, beheld a little girl, dressed in the latest Par- isian fashion for children, standing regarding her with curious eyes. She was not pretty, for her small, sharp- featured face was thin and witch-like, her expression old and cunning; but Mollie noticed with relief that she bore little resemblance to Mr. Bar- lowe, and masses of flaxen curls, 80 fair as to be almost white, softened the little face. For a minute the sisters regarded each other gravely. Mollie's beautiful pink and white faca had flushed brightly, her sweet gray eyes were fixed wistfully on the child. but the latter was qvite composed; her thin lips were pressed together as she cool- ly surveyed her half-sister from her sunny brown head to her dainty foot. “Well, Kate, do you remember me?” asked Mollie, gently. “Hardly. What were you doing?” *T was. dosing shy teaeiee:: - Dan’ Ont" efaculated Molle, astounay, “I don't think, Kate, vou knockes te fore you came in.” “Of course not,” was the cain rep, “This house and everything ery . mine.” ‘ Truly this was a promising bagi, ning. ‘The child evidently ia jen taught to believe herself a porsoe® great importance, and during the has hour she spent with Mollie sha qq. deseendingly repeated both her ann, and the servant's injudiclovs tues and unconsciously reveaied mush 4 the inner life of the house—reye. tions by mo means attractive—o, Mollie would have ruthlessly yu: 4, young lady out of her room vy iy shoulders had she not, exercised g. self-command.

Why didn’t she come for me?” Reggie got up and crossed the room, He was a great big fellow, in a roug, shooting suit, with fair curly _balr, blue eyes and the pleasantest face in the world; while at the present mo- ment there was a comical smile on {t that would somehow have explaine why he was such a favorite in the reg. iment in which he had the honor to serve his queen and country; why all Reverton, besides his mother and sis ter, loved him, “She did suggest it,” he said, Vlant- ly. .“In fact, she was coming here, but I said you were busy.” “Oh, Reggie!” “Don't get excited. Seeing her face tall—for there is not much disguis ‘about Mollle—I stepped into the breach and went myeelf.” “Then I hope you did not meet Mai: ame Dubois!” exclaimed Joyce, laugh- ing. “For I feel sure that she woul ‘strongly object to you as an escort. “Why?” And Reggie leaned agains the wide window-seat, and stroked hi mother's great Persian cat, who wis sunning himself in the corner, “Why, you old stupid? Because ht intends Mollie and her fortune for hit adored son, Monsieur Henri Dubois, and no poaching will be allowed.” “That little toad?” he muttered in a curious tone. “Mollic said they were expecting him today. I say, Joyce, do you really think it?” “Mother thinks so,” she replied glancing at Iiis ruled face with a suppressed smile. “And certainly madame has been most amiable to Mollie so far. She asked ‘ne the otter ‘day what Henri was like, for madame was always speaking of him, and Kate quoted him frequently.” “Oh, it is preposterous!” declared the young fellow. “However, wait until she sees him. I shall be very much astonished if she falls in with the arrangement then.” (To be Continued.)

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 membership 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. I therefore appeal to every Grand Lodge, Subordinate Lodge, and every Member of the Order within North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia,to send something at once for the relief of these our Brethren, their widows and orphans. Send all sums to Sir L.M.Mitchell,Grand Chancellor,Austin,Texas who will send you receipt for the same.
