Knox was a scene of rare social merriment last Wednesday evening, the occasion being a delightful party given by Messrs. Aaron Knox and Lawson Fines, in honor of Miss Isadore English, of Perry, O. T. Pastimes, innocent and exhilarant, were indulged in until a late hour, when the genial hosts served the longed for refreshments. The goddess of mirth was radient with smiles, and when the "wee-wee" hours of Morning came, it was with some reluctance that those of the merry party bade each other "good bye." The guest of honor left for Arkansas City Thursday morning, and after a few days visit will return to her home at Perry. Those-present were: Misses, Isadore English, Blanche Alexander, Hattie Herring, Lillie Overstreet, Lu cary Hargroe, Carrie Bradford, Daisy Bradford, Mamie Walker. Ella May Landrum, Fannie Collins; Messrs. Tom Anderson. Lawson Fines Rob-Garrett, John Hockett, Bose Jones, John Simmons, Ben Penelton, Anthony Hockett, Will Collins, John Walker, Aaron Knox and S. O. Clayton. AUTUMN LEAF CLUB. There was a jolly gathering of our ladies at the home of Mrs. Mary Abernathy, 1140 North Mead, Thursday night. The object of the meeting was, to organize a social club among the ladies of our city. A grander object could not be, and need of such an organization all see. The following ladies were present: Mesdames, J. G. Gaiues, Robert Davis, Abbie Anderson, Syl Anderson, Joe Phillips, James Jackson, Geo. Gardner, Thos. Banks, Ed Miller, Fred Martin, Al Henderson, and W. N. Miller. They organized, and named their club, "The Autumn Leaf Social Club" The following officers were elected, President, Mrs. Maay Abernathy; Vice President, Mrs. W. N. Miller; Secretary, Mrs. Syl Anderson; Treasurer, Mrs. Julius G. Gains. Lunch was served. The next meeting of the club will be with Mrs. Robert Davis, at 428, 14th Street. It will soon be one year since we moved our plant here and began the publication of the Wichita Searchlight at this place. When we began, many prophesied that we would run two issues, others were liberal enough to say four. It is not necessary for us to say that our pathway has always been strewn with roses, neither is it necessary for us to say that we have been the subject of comment by the first-while "know-every-thing" critic, you are aware of that. We have silently listened to these and bore our burden "like a man." One thing which we can positively say, we have never yet said one word against any man, woman or child in Wichita. It was not because we had no reason to say, but we "considered the source" and let it stop at that. We feel more encouraged now than ever before and are in better shape the people a good than ever before. In the year which is fastly coming to a close we have published our paper on time; every issue has appeared on the proper date. We claim no reward for this, as we deem that our duty: we promised that when we began, and we are now about able to realize our word made good. In our issue of May 25, we will say a few words to those who so kindly added their names and money to our list when we began. The only thing that we will add now is, that we will endeavor to conduct our business in the future as in the past, strictly prompt and business like. Come to the picnic at South Riverside, on the 29th. Mrs. Lillian Owens, whose funeral Wednesday 8th, from the Second Baptist church was attended by a large crowd of sympathising friends, was born in Limestone County, Alabama, in the year 1830. When she was about twenty years of age she removed to Memphis, Tenn., coming directly from there to Wichita in 1892 where she has since resided. Mrs. Owens was a devout christian and was firm in her faith, having been a Member of the Baptist church for over thirty years. Her favorite hymn was, "Steal away to Jesus." One daughter, Mrs. Isaac Patton, and four grand-children living in the city survive her. Mrs. Owens was apparently well and hearty, going to church twice on Sunday, and was preparing to attend church Monday evening when overtaken by a stroke of paralysis to which she succumbed in about forty minutes. Mrs. Owens has resided with her grand-daughter, Mrs. J. H. Vanlue, for the past four ears, at 630 North Water Street. See the "ad" of Snyder Bros You can find them at 212, N. Main. Our Ministers. A GALAXY OF CHRISTIAN GENTLEMEN. There is no city in Kansas that has a more gentlemanly, Christian and charityble ministers than are those in Wichita. They are all men of culture and refinement they stand aloft of all petty things. We do not say this boastingly nor with a flattering intent, but we say it because it is a fact. Here in Wichita, you can not tall a Methodist from a Baptist, so to speak, they ar all neighborly and friendly and we claim that this is due by having men of education, men of talent, men of refinement at the head of our churches here. We, first of all Wichitans; secondly neighbors; the quietly and peacably every man, woman and child serves God according to the dictates of their own conscience and there is no big fuss or "boo-hoo" about it. We are proud of them and we want everybody to know it too. Odd Fellows' sermon at the A. M E. church Sunday. The sermon will be preached by Rev. H. F. Frazier, pastor of New Hope Baptist church.

Choral Club. According to arrangements previously made, a number of Wichita's lovers of music met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Patton Monday evening, and organized a choral club which promises to be one of the best of its kind in the state. The club will begin active preparations at once and in the near future our people may expect an unprecedented treat in the line of vocal music. The club begins its rehearsals under the directions of Mrs. M. E. Merriger, one of the best music directors in the city, and will give a grand recital and concert as soon as every thing is in perfect readiness. Among its members the club has some of our best amateur soloists and and we may expect something rich and rare in the line of solos, duetts, trios and quartetts.

A white girl, Miss Ethel Bonney 18 years of age, was assaulted by an unknown white man in Leavenworth, Kas. last Tuesday between 11 and 2 o'clock in the day. Leavenwer h is the black spot on the map of Kansas where they so cowardly and fiendishly burned Fred Alexander, a Negro at the stake and made a feeble effort to order all the Negroes outside of the limits of that village. Now that a white man has outraged a white girl, and right in the heart of the village, too, what will they have to say? That's not all this white brute did, after accomplishing his fiendish design he threw the body of his unconscious victim in a well containing 12 feet of water. Could any thing have been more fiendish more cruel or more inhumane? No. The question now is, if caught will the burn him. Let's see. Chetopa, Kansas. W. E.

While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to have been the plan of nature that woman should suffer so severely. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It relieves the condition which produces so much discomfort and robs menstruation of its terrors. The three letters here published should encourage every woman who suffers: If there is anything about your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. $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 letters are not genuine, or were published before the mission.

DOUGLAS FACTORY To Be Enlarged Before the First of Ju Will Make 6,000 Pairs Daily. Advertising pays. W. L. Douglas is going to increase the capacity of his factory to 6,000 pairs of shoes per day. The addition will add 16,000 square feet of space for manufacturing purposes. At the same time a new 400 horse-power engine and an additional 150 horse-power boiler will be installed, which will afford adequate power for the present and another addition to the factory, which will no doubt be necessary later on. When the factory starts up the first of July it will be on an output of 500 dozen or 6,000 pairs of shoes per day, and the weekly pay roll, exclusive of office help, superintendent, foreman, etc., will be $22,000 per week. The Douglas salesmen on the road are selling 25 per cent more goods than last season. The increased sales is the direct result of good shoemaking and extensive advertising. The advertising expenditure of Mr. Douglas is now larger than at any period of his business, and this is to be still further increased. Beginning this week halfpage advertisements of the Douglas shoe will appear in all the principal newspapers of the large cities, as 'well as such papers as the Youth's Companion.—Brockton, Mass., Times.

CASCARETS act directly, and in a peculiarly happy manner on the liver and bowels, cleansing, purifying, revitalizing every portion of the liver, driving all the bile from the blood, as is soon shown by increased appetite for food, power to digest it, and strength to throw off the waste.

President David Starr Jordan of Stanford university, who has accepted an offer from the United States fish commission to take charge of an expedition for the investigation of the fish of the Hawaiian islands, will devote two months to the investigation, following which a report will be made out and forwarded to Washington, to be used as a basis for a general plan of extending the work of the federal fish commission to the islands.
