Wichita Nursery Ass'n WICHITA, KANSAS, APR1L 13, 1901. Colored Club. SPECIAL SALE OF SAMPLE WAISTS Next Monday APRIL 15th. There is much good that can be accomplished for the benefit of the ben fit of the colored men of this city who are in business if they will simply organize and work in concert. If the white men who are in business find that they are benefited by an organization such as the Commercial Club and kindred organizations, is there any reason why that colored men who are in business could not reap some benefit from such a movement? With this in view and upon the suggestion of some who are in business, a meeting has been called for Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the Searchlight office, 239, N. Main St up stairs. Sunday afternoon was selected because most of them have more leisure time on that day than any other, and by having the meeting at 4 o'clock it will not come in contact with any of the services at our churches. This meeting is simply one to discuss plans act. No effort has been made to personally notify any except through these columns and this includes every colored man who is in business of any kind in our city, and each are welcome at the meeting. Let all come out and find what the plan of organization is. It will do you no harm to come out any way and see what will be done. Remember, at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon at the Searchlight office, 239, N. Main St. On next Monday morning we place On Sale two hundred and fifty (250) Ladies' Sample Shirt Waists. Representing the many styles of the Season' Bishop sleeves, tucks and insertions. Made of India linen, Lawns, Demitres, Silk Ginghams and Modern cloths. White and Colors. No two waists exactly alike in quality, style or colors. But let us say, this, they are all size 36, though some may run small and others large. Regular value $1.25, $1.50, and $2.

Mr. Edward Hathmond and Miss Joie Jones were united in marriage at the parsonage of the A. M. E. church Wednesday evening, April 10, 1901, at 8 o'clock. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. C. Terrell, pastor. The wedding was a quiet one, only the intimate friends and relatives of the contracting parties were present. The bride was attired in a beautiful white costume, while the groom wore the conventional black. Those present were, S. E. Patton and wife, Taylor Reed and wife, Mesdames, M. E. Carr, J. L. Harper, C. Helm, and Mrs, Geo. Sylvers, Misses Alice and Norisa Thompson, M. F. Holmes, L. Covington, M. Andrews, Bessie Jones, Messrs, J. W. Thompson, L. E. Simpson, G. W. Jones, and Mr. Evans. The bride was one of the belles of our city and was a leader in society, while the groom is one of our most prominent young men and is foreman of constructive and electric street car system. Both have a host of warm friends who wish them a most happy and successful married life. The Searchlight extends to Mr. and Mrs. Hathmon its most sincere wish that they may live a long, happy and prosperous married life. It is now Judge Claude C. Stanley. And a good Judge is he, too. He took his seat Tuesday and in that short space of time, it has been his "painful" duty to say, "$5,00 and cost", several times. But he will treat you fair, boys. Yes, he's fair.

Our Stand. We care not what others may say we are for our people first, last and all the time. Proud are we to be one of them. It matters not how high, r how low they get we are still, one of them, this cannot be denied. So we will do our best to keep in sight, at least, of the "high" ones, if any, and to help raise the low ones, if any, higher. Of course they are a little jealous some times; yet they are my people. Behind all of their jealousy there is a heart as warn and sympathetic as ever beat in a human breast. They are the grandest people who ever lived. As other people do, they have their lit tle wiles, but we are content to listen to them, because we are accustomed to them. Our only request is, "Let our people go" and they will win the battles of life 'without the loss of a single man'. It is plain to sead the hand-wsiting on the wall that these people are destined to be a power — even in this town. Give them a chance, we ask. Are you a Sub scriber to the Searchlight? Mrs. S.

COUNCIL MEETING. Monday night's meeting of the city council was notable for two important events. The first was the winding up of the administration of Hon. Findlay Ross as mayor of our prosperous city, and the other was the beginning of the administration of Hon. Ben F. McLean as mayor of Greater and Grander Wichita. That Findlay Ross made a good mayor of our city even the most sceptical will admit; that he devoted that energy and pains to the most minute details of the city's welfare, none will deny. But with all this, he was but man and what man is it who could please or who would be so devoid of reason as to try to please every one? Thus, Findlay Ross had his enemies, as well as his friends, yet the fact must go down in history that his administration was one of much benefit to our city. The present mayor, Hon. B. F. McLean, is a man of sterling qualities; a man who for more than sixteen years was a member of the city council, and who has devoted much of his time to the interest of the city of which he is now its chief executive. He is by no means a stranger to the working of our city, and is thus well equipped to discharge the duties entrusted to his hands. That he will prove to be a mayor of whom all will be proud, there is no boudt. Every one who is acquainted with him have the utmost confidence in his ability. The Searchlight extends to Mayor McLean its great wish that his administration will stand out as a bright shining light to the progres of our city. Mayor McLean made the following appointments which were promptly affirmed by the council: Fire Marshall,..... A. G. Walden Chief of Police,..... Frank S. Burt. Street Commissioner..... E. T. Allen Assistant City Clerk..... L. M. Cox Clk Police Court Jno. Knoblauch Sanitary Officer Ben F. Downing ```markdown ``` THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, KANSAS. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

The truth is gradually coming to the surface that all rapists and ravishers of women and children are not Negroes. One of the most brutal, inhuman and fiendish acts ever committed by man upon a female, is the case of John Warne, a white man, 71 years of age, at Butte Mont. on April, 7th. Warren is accused of brutally assaulting little 9 year old Evelyn Blewitt, then murdering her and setting the cabin on fire in which he had outraged and murdered her, by telling her to come there and he would give her a 5 cts piece. We are unalterably opposed to all such crimes, and contend that a man be he white or black, who will stoop low enough to commit such outrages on defenceless women and innocent children, should be given the fullest extent of the law in the speediest manner known to the law. But we contend that mobs are poor law enforcers, whether the accused be white or black. We claim that while this is one of the most atrocious crimes known to humanity and more brutal and fiendish than savagery, yet we hold that the accused should at all times be found guilty by due process of law. We are opposed to mob law in its simplest form, for we believe that it is next to anarchy. But we wish it understood that all rapists and ravishers of defenseless women and innocent girls are not Negroes—not by a long shot. Hon. Chas H. Luling, councilman from the second ward, was elected president of the council Monday night. This was a good selection. Mr. Luling's ability as a legislator and parliamentarian was well tested during his membership of the last legislature, and as president of the council he will make a model It is hard to tell who your real friends are. Our advice is, watch every body and let every body watch you. That's "biz." Summer days are on the road, they'll be here "by and by." All we want is to see good colored men given the places. We have no choice, in particular, but we are for all good, race men, and true blue republicans. If any were strad die the fence, let them ride the fence, and not the party. When ever a colored man gets above his race it is then time for the race to seek new company, and let him alone. This city has recently been the hot-bed of Negroes "representing" Negro journals. Some have lied, others have simply falsified. They must either think that our people here are chumps or that they are "slick ones." Which is it? Mayor McLean is alright. He is a man of few words, but meane every word he says. WANTED. We want seveval good, hustling, wide-awake young ladies and gents to solicit for the Searchlight in the city. It is good money for right parties. Call at our office, No. 239, N. Main, up stairs. Did Good Work. James L. Harper, the only colored member of the city central committee, did his whole duty in the recent campaign. By his work he proved the usefulness of a colored man on the central committee. Jim was a hustler and a vote getter. He is well liked by all, and is a man without a stain or a blot of any kind against him. "The Messenger" of Red Bank, N.J. came out this week with a new name and a new heading. It is "Our Mail & Express" now. We congratulate brother Summerset upon the neat appearance of "Our Mail & Express." Ben H. Downing has been appointed sanitary policeman. That is good. We are pleased to note the re-appointment of A. G. Walden as fire marshall. Mr. Walden has made a most excellent chief and his re-appointment assures the property owners that their property will be well looked after. Judge, E. E, Harvey, who was recently elected to preside over the destinies of the city court, took his seat on the bench Monday morning. He began his duties as though he had been judge all the while. He is a good lawyer and rules quick and fair. Success to his court. Mayor McLean's administration is starting off well. They have done all, so far, that could be asked. They will do the rest just as well. We have the utmost confidence in all the gentlemen. A Call. THE COLORED MEN WHO ARE IN BUSINESS IN WICHITA WILL MEET SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT THE SEARCHLIGHT OFFICE. All the colored men who are in business of any kind in Wichita, are hereby asked to meet at the Searchlight office next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock sharp.

The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon, at 3 o'clock from the family residence. The reception given by the ladies of the Mission Circle of the Second Baptist church Wednesday evening was a grand success in every particular, The ladies nicely entertained their guests in a manner highly complimentary to each of them. The president of the Circle, Mrs. Sam Anderson, and the secretary, Miss Daisy Bradford, and the other members made all feel welcome. It may be said, bye the bye, that this circle is doing some good work. Richard Walker is to be a fnlledged lawyer, upon finishing his school course.

Easter Monday At The A. M. Church. REV. TERRELL'S ENTERTAINMENT. The entertainment at the A.M. E$ ^{e}$ church Monday evening was exceptionally good, and Rev. Terrell and the participants are deserving of the many compliments being paid them. "The Kansas Emigrant" was an interesting little story told in comic, and was quite well appreciated. Ed Landrum, as "Joe Pope" was the right man in the right place. A typical Southern servant of one of the "fust" families, equipped with an astonishing good "edication" and not the least bit inclined to do service below that of a coachman, and was a dangerous fighter when the engagement was beautified by the enchantment of disdance. Fred Williams his "pal," was one of the "rough and tumble" sort, void of an "edication" but ready for any kind of labor that came his way; a pronounced coward until the emergency forced itself upon him when he proved master of the situation, and fighting Joe of the "fust" family had flown to more peaceful quarters. Martin Vernon and Miss Mattie Andrews played well the part of Eastern aristocracy, as did also, A. J. Martin in the role of "Cousin Ben" the Boston dude, G. W. White assumed the character of "Thunder and Lightning" the big "Injun Chief." "My Jerimiah" was well rendered, Messrs. Martin, Vernon, and Landrum taking the male characters, while Misses Nancy Phelps and Lillie Holbert appeared respectively as Matilda Slocker and Mrs. McDonahue. Misses Phelps and Holbert were par-excellent, and truly worthy of the mention here given. Martin was a "benedict" of the "hen-pecked" sort, but ultimately forbearance ceased to be a virtue and he arose to the dignity of imperative manhood. Vernon worked himself into an inextricable predicament, by making love to two women at the same time. Tne good Mrs. Slack-table suffered when Landrum the "hash" boarder made its beautiful discovery. "Mrs. Brown's Mistake" and "Very Wrong Indeed" as rendered by Miss Mattie Andrews and S. O. Clayton, were choice numbers and greatly appreciated.

John McCollough has been appointed a regular policeman. John is a worthy young man and will make a good officer. He is an Arkansan by birth, having been born in Fayettville, Arkansas, June 10, 1869, and is therefore 32 years old. He lived in Fayville until 1883, when he came to this city, and has since resided here. Since coming here he has held many minor positions and for several years was foreman of the street grading crew. His appointment meets the general satisfaction of all.

The residents of the north end of town the great packing houses, nurseries wholesale houses and other inustries in that part of the city are entirely without any fire protection, except those of private individuals and private corporations. It is something to think of that the closest fire station is on Market street between First & Second. Just think of it. Suppose a fire should originate at 18th and Main or at the packing house, or say, at 17th and Water. The closest department is the one named on Market St. This department would have to cross the Missouri Pacific railway tracks, and for the sale of argument, suppose a long train of cars should be passing or switching, which is frequently the case, the house would burn to the ground before the department could possibly respond. But say that there were no obstructions, and the department could make a clear run, in order to reach the packing house district it would be necessary for them to run at least 21 blocks with the heavy trucks over a rough and unasphalted, unmacadamized street, and in rainy or snowy weather, muddy and sloppy streets to reach the fire. Is that protection enough? Certainly not. There should be a fire house stationed in closer proximity to this largely populated district. There is no part of the city that is being more thickly and constantly increasing in population than that part of the city north of tenth street, both east and west. New houses are constantly being built and old ones remodeled. That these residents are entitled to the fullest fire protection goes without question. The city can well afford with more than $64,000 available in the treasure, according to the report of ex-mayor Ross, to establish a fire station in the north end of our city. We contend for this because we see the great need of it. Every person living in the north end of the city sees the need of it, and we trust that our able city officers will at once realize this fact, and give the north end their proper and rightful fire protection. Our Chief Police Frank S. Burt Appointed Chief of Police. Hon. Frank S. Burt, the newly appointed chief of police, is no stranger in our city. He has lived here since 1886. He is an Illinoisan by birth, and was born in Champaign, Ill. June, 53-1862 He is a fine gentleman and is well qualified for the position to which he has been appointed. He was chief of police in 1896 under the Morrill administration, and served until Leedy was elected Governor. He is a thorough business man and the affairs of the police department will be run on a strictly business basis under his administration. The Searchlight extends to Chief Burt its kindest wish for a most successful term.

In an open London suburb a scientist found 20,000 dust particles in a cubic centimeter of air—equal to about 0.061 of a cubic inch—while in a yard in the center of London the number amounted to 500,000.The air was loaded to the extent of about 900 per cent more in the city than in the suburb.

M'Carron, Mich., April 8.—(Special.) Mra. Samuel G. Dyer of this place has given the following interesting letter for publication: "For years I suffered intense pain in the region of the heart. I doctored with the best physicians. Some of them would relieve me for a short time, but the pain always returned. My heart was so bad that I would have to sit up in bed for hours, to get relief. I would lie awake almost all night. I am 62 years of age, and no one can understand how much I suffered with this Heart Trouble. "About a year ago I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and commenced to use them. From the first my condition improved. The pain in my heart gradually grew less, and my general health much better, and now I can say positively that I am entirely cured. I can sleep all night, and enjoy almost perfect health. I thank God for the cure that has come to me through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have thought long over the matter of giving this letter for publication, and am doing so now without any solicitation whatever, and simply because I feel it to be my duty to express the profound gratitude I feel for my recovery, and to let others who may be suffering as I was know how they may find a cure. I know that nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me, because I have taken no other medicine for over a year. I feel better now than I have for many years, and it is all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills." Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has attracted a great deal of attention, and her letter is a splendid tribute to the curative properties of Dodd's Kidney Pills. The man who boasts of paying as he goes is usually slow about making a start. Each package of PUTNAM FADE- LESS DYES colors either Silk, Wool or Cotton perfectly.

Just at present considerable interest is being aroused in the fact that a few new districts (of limited acreage) are being opened out by the Canadian government in Saskatchewan and Assinibola (western Canada), and any information concerning this country is eagerly sought. Mr. W. R. Corser, of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo., was a delegate there during last summer, and writing of his impressions he says: "I found surprising yields of grain of all descriptions. One farmer I visited threshed of 175 acres: "600 bushels of wheat from fifteen acres, 40 bushels to acre. "600 bushels of barley, from ten "600 bushels of barley from ten acres, 60 bushels to acre. "15,000 bushels of oats from 150 acres, 100 bushels to acre. "The samples were all No. 1. "I also saw a considerable number of stock. Swine do well and there is no disease amongst them. They are a good source of income to the farmer. The cattle on the range beat anything I ever saw. Fat and ready for beef, fully matured and ripened on the nutritious grasses of the*prairie. I am firmly convinced that this country offers better facilities for a poor man than any I have ever seen." Information concerning these lands can be had from any agent of the government whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper.

For Service on Former Spanish Gun Boats And Small Vessels. NAUTICAL SCHOOL RECRUITS. Washington, April 10.—Instructions have been cabled by Secretary of the Navy Long to Rear Admiral Remey, commander in chief of the Asiatic station, authorizing him to enlist 500 natives of the Philippines for service on board the former Spanish gun boats and other small vessels which are to be maintained exclusively in the Philippines. These men will form the nucleus of an important service, composed solely of enlisted men. Rear Admiral Crowninshield, chief of the bureau of navigation, believes that besides resulting in the government obtaining efficient service, the employment of the natives will spread respect for the American flag and create a strong feeling of loyalty. Reports received from Admiral Remey have shown that Americans, especially those serving in the fire rooms, become quickly debilitated, and it is necessary to send them to the United States or Japan to recuperate. It is believed that the health of Filipinos will not suffer, because they are acclimated, and if they do become ill it will be an easy matter for them to recover in the Philippines. No difficulty will be experienced in obtaining experienced men. During the fall of 1899, Lieutenant Commander J. V. Coltman, now in charge of the bureau of navigation, opened the "Escuela Nautical," or nautical school for training Filipino youths to carry on their inter-island commerce. Good results have been obtained from this school. Full and Overflowing Topeka, April 8.—According to the quarterly bank statement, just issued by Bank Commissioner Morton Albaugh, Kansas is richer today than she has been since the office of bank commissioner was created. There are now 305 state and private banks in Kansas, which is three more than there were in December, when the last statement was made. The deposits in these banks amount to $33,757,898. This is an increase over the amount on deposit in December of $2,142,489.29, and is more than the state ever had on deposit before. The cash and sight exchange on hand amounts to $15,815,210.66, which is an increase over the amount on hand for December of $1,764,074.89. The loans and discounts have increased $348,622.74 within the past three months. The law requires that 20 per cent of the reserve fund shall be kept on hand by the banks, but the farmers of the state are so prosperous and all kinds of business is in such good condition that the people do not need the money, and the reserve fund has constantly increased within the past five or six years. The percentage of reserve fund on hand in February was 46.83 and in December, 1900, it was 44.43. The highest point the reserve fund has ever reached was in September, 1900, when there was 51 per cent of it on hand. Say it is Peters. Wasington, April 4.—S. H. Peters, of Kansas, is to be pension commissioner to succeed Evans. This statement is made flat by a close friend of the appointing power. Mr. Peters and the president have been close personal friends for years. Peters moved to Kansas from Ohio. The commissioner-to-be and the president ended their terms in congress with the historic Fifty-first, after years in congress. Meeting of Leagues. Washington, April 8.—The board of directors of the American Anti-Saloon League has fixed December 3 to 5 inclusive as to the date for holding the national convention of the association. The meeting will be a congregation of the various anti-saloon leagues of the country and a large representation is expected. Hughes Elected Mayor. Topeka, April 4.—The entire republican ticket was elected in Topeka with the exception of councilmen in the First and Second wards. The vote on mayor is very close, but the republicans say Colonel J. W. E. Hughes, republican, has won over Albert Parker, democrat, by 500. Many democrats are still hopeful, but the leaders say Hughes' majority will be about 200. The fight was centered on mayor. Colonel Hughes represented the temperance element and Parker the license crowd. Later.—The finished count of the ballots at 8:30 a. m. show General Hughes to be defeated by 11 votes. After Kansas Spelter. St. Louis, April 10.—John Arthur Rice, said to be a representative of J. Pierpont Morgan, has left for the East. His visit was for the purpose of furthering a deal involving the purchase, by a syndicate said to be headed by Mr. Morgan, of the entire output of spelter, or pig zinc, of the Missouri-Kansas district, which produces seveneighths of the zinc in the entire country. E. W. Humphrey, of Chicago, who is said to be promoting the deal, is at the Planters' hotel. $100.00 Reward To protect your health and our reputation, we will gladly pay this big reward to any one who will furnish us information on which we can secure conviction of a dealer who tries to sell worthless fake imitations, when CASCARETS are called for.

On a wager of two boxes of chocolate creams with two classmates, one of whom is a girl, a "freshie" of Lawrence University, Appleton, Wis., ate the legs of a small lizard which had been in pickle in the zoological laboratory for many years. While he was eating the young woman fainted. Soon after the incident the lizard eater had a violent attack of nausea, but recovered without medical aid. Soulrel's Nest in Her Coat. At a prayer meeting in Herkimer, N. Y., Mrs. J. D. Henderson was disturbed by something moving in the sleeve of her fur coat. She took off the coat and found that her pet squirrel, which had been missing for a day or two, had made a nest between the lining and the fur. The squirrel refused to come out and it was not until Mrs. Henderson took the coat home, ripped apart the sleeve and removed the nest that the squirrel would leave. In Aid of Hadley Home. The Indiana Woman's Christian Temperance Union, which some years ago established the Hadley Industrial Home at Richmond, Ind., through the liberality of Mr. and Mrs. Addison Hadley of Hendricks county, has received another liberal gift. The will of Mr. Hadley, who recently died, sets aside a large portion of the estate as an endowment fund for the home, and adds 277 acres of land, making the total holdings 387 acres. Doctor's Method of Advertising: An ingenious method of getting around the unwritten law of the better physicians that they shall not advertise, without technically breaking the law, has been practiced by a New York doctor. He does not advertise. He simply writes letters thanking his clients for their appreciation of his services and outlining what he has done for them. Quite by accident the letters are misdirected and sent to those whom the doctor would like as clients. A Princely Hussar. Prince Arthur of Connaught is to receive a commission in the Seventh hussars. Prince Arthur, who is the only son of the duke of Connaught, has always had a wish to follow the profession of his father. He made himself very popular at Eton by his determination not to give up his nationality in order to be a reigning duke in Germany—an honor which, therefore, devolved on his cousin, the young duke of Albany, now duke of Saxe-Coburg.
