Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT VOL. III. Most Popular Lady. We are requested to open a contest to have the public settle who is "The Most Popular" yaung lady in Selgwick county. There is much dispute about this and there is no better way to settle it than by a fair contest, any young lady is eligible to enter this contest, any white or colored lady can be voted on. The contest will begin with this issue of our paper, Saturday, June, 11, and will continue til Thursday August, 1st, 1901, at 12 o'clock mid-night. No votes except the regulation votes and those clipped from the Searchlight will be received and counted. Votes can be had for 40ets each. Our friends Jas. Jackson and A. T. Glover have charge of the voting contest. The winner in this contest will be presented with a solid gold ring with her initials and date of presentation inscribed thereon. There is no question that Wichita has some very popular young ladies, both colored and white, but the one who is the most popular is a question to be decided. Who do you think is the most popular? Then vote for her. The exact vote will be announced by Messrs. Jackson and Glover in each issue of our paper. You can get any number of votes you want by calling on either Mr. Jackson at the Jackson house or on Mr. A. T, Glover at 700, N. Market, or at this office. Every young man thinks his girl is the most popular, then let him show it by voting for her to be announced the most popular. Remember this contest will be closed at 12 o'clock mid-night, Thursday, Aug. 1, 1901, and the vote will be announced in the next issue of the Searchlight, Saturday August the 3rd 1901. as the Most Popular Young Lady in Wichita, Sedgwick co., Kansas. Cut this out bring or send it to this office. 239 North Main St. The following item on the "Sale of Negroes" appeare in the Columbus [Ga.] Times in 1863. "Very High Prices: I. S. K. Bennett, auctioneer and broker, sold on Wednesday last at the mart two field hands, aged 20 and 22 years, for $2,595 and $2,455, making $5,055 for the pair. The conditions were cash." We can do any and all Job work. OUR JOB PRESS The President to Negroes President McKinley, during his stops in New Orleans on his recent tour, visited the Southern University an institution of learning for colored youth. Reports of the Associated Press say that as the president, accompanied by the Governor of Louisiana, and the Mayor of New Orleans, entered the grounds of University, he was welcomed with "Hail to the Chief" sung by a chorus of one thousand children and accompanied by the students' orchertra. Brief addresses, says the report, were made by George Alexis and Ernestine Theopolo, bright puplis of the school. The President made a most felicitous response in which he said: "I am glad to know that all over the South where most of you dwell the states have provided institutions of learning where every boy and girl can prepare themselves for usefulness and honor, under the government in which they live. The thing today is to be practicle. What you want is to get education and with it you want good character and with these you want unfaltering industry, and if you have these things, you have success any where and every where. God Bless you." This must have been an inspiriscene. The utterings of the President were, indeed cheering words, and is the doctrine which the Negro press of America is day by day trying to instill in the Negro race. We are getting education, that practice education which is not only a knowledge of books, but of men and of the every day affairs of life. We are building and making character, character the impression of which will be for all time upon every thing American. We are giving to industrialism a national fame and a national prominence never before known. Hampton and Tuskegee have become the Mecca to which thousands bent their feet in pilgrimage in quest of this industrialism that is destined with higher education to make us a mighty race. WICHITA, KANSAS, JUNE 8, 1901. The Negro. Bishop B. W. Arnett presided over a representative gathering of Negroes at Washington recently. Some notable speeches were made. Dr. Lampton, of Mississippi, said in part:—"The manhood future of the American Negro is in the South, his opportunities for development are in the South and none of us want to leave. The Negroes of the Southern states are no longer complaining about separate cars, separate waiting rooms and the like, but now we are asking the railroads to carry out the law by providing seperate but equal accommodation, and that they not charge us first-class fare and give us second-class accommodation, but give us what we pay for, and that they do not allow the lower class of white men to come in our cars and waiting room and insult our women. The Negroes and whites are united in all of the Southern states in trying to better their condition, but are as far apart on the social question as the Negroes and whites are in the North. What we are asking for the Negroes of the South is that the Negroes of the North stop spending the time abusing the South, put send along your money and help us to educate our boys and girls, help us to teach morality and you will do us a lot of good. We want better girls and boys, we want educated boys and girls, and wish you would say a few things to them. The Negroes in Mississippi and Tennessee represent the whole Negro race and they are showing the possibilities of the race. They are investing their money in land. Mound Bayou is an example of the future Negro. This is a N gro town complete. All the officers are Negroes. What the Negro needs to do is to get something in his head, heart and pocket. Stick to his training. We need better men and women. We must get together." The report of the secretary of the board showed over $1,600,000 handled by the financial department in the past twenty-one years.—Ex The white man does not hate the Negro; but instead, it is his condition that he hates. The Negro should see to it that his sourroundings are kept pure. Young girls should not be going around half naked with their clothes hanging off them. Young men carry themselves in such a careless way until they themselves do not merit any praise whatever, but instead, a curse. When young men and women so --- live as to stand on the staeet corners and elsewhere, provoking and doing all manner of unseen ningly thing, it only tends to degrade the race instead of lifting it. The man who starts to uplift his race gets the hardest kicks. Never the-less it is one's business to fight the wrong and defend the right on all occasions.—Ex. We say, amen! this is sound doctrine and bears heeding. Race News. 'A company of Negroes has been formed in Nashville to manufacture shirts. In the Library of Congress are 1, 400 title works written by Negroes Many of those books are on the shelves and are frequently called for by the readers. S. L. Brooks, an Afro-American, has been elected vice-president of the Alabama State Federation of Labor, the only organization in Alabama with white and black officers Prof. W. S. Scarborough, vice president of Wilberforce University, has contributed an able article to the Forum, on "The Negro and our New Possessions." The acquital of a Colored man in Alabama by the courts for rape is an evidence that there are many m's takes made when hasty judgment is carried out. Many persons have been lynched who if they had have had a fair trial by law would be alive today The will of the late Rev. John Jasper, the minister of Richmond, Va., was probated. His estate is valued at $5,000. It is left to his wife during her life and then to his son, Sha drack. Jasper could easily have accumulated a fortune, but accept only $600. a year from his congregation. The industrial Business Union of America, West Indies, and Canada formed another branch at 124 Camden street, Boston, Mass., a few days ago. The Union has for its object to unite the Colored people throughout the whole country in one solid body and open industrial enterprises for its members. John Brown Circle No.24, Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic, of New York, will present Thaddeus Stevens Post No.225 with a set of colors at Odd Fellows Hall on May 20. They will also celebrate the 101st birth-day of Capt. John Brown,who gave his life for the cause of liberty and the abolition of slavery. Alexander Williams, a Negro who was arrested for violation of a slav- ery contract in Anderson S. C., has been released by a magistrate, the court ruling that a man can no longer sell himself as a slave. The Negro was indebted to J. S. Fowler, who formerly operated a stockade, for $150. He was leased by a man for whom he was to work a year to settle the account. In Columbus, Ga., Mr. Peabody agrees to give $1,000 to a kendergarten department of the Colored public school provided they subscribe $400 each year for five yaars to help maintain it; and he agrees to give $20,000 to the Colored Y. M. C. A., provided they pay the expenses of maintaining a first-class respectable association for five years.

His buggy and horse or among the finest in the city. His office number is 407. N. Main. CUBA HER POSSIBILITIES. "No man can estimate the material possibilities of Cuba," said an army officer who has spent much time on the island to an interviewer the other day in a North Missouri town, where he was making a brief sojourn. "When American enterprise is turned to the developemen of the rich resources of the island the marvels of the West will eclipse. Cuba is practically virgin soil. There are rich copper deposits and other minerals are found in paying quantities. There are forests of the finest woods Mahogany of the best grade is there in abundance. But instead of taking the mill to the forest, as we Americans would do, the logs are taken to the mills and the mill is usually in New York. Painfully slow and laborious is the process of moving the logs to the mill. And there is other wood to my idea better than mahogans, susceptible of a higher polish. I have a chest made of acana wood which no sawmill in the land would NO, 2 saw for me, the wood was so hard. When Yankee methods are employed this hard wood will supply the world, Everybody is familiar with the wealth of tropical fruits. The finest limes I ever ate are raised there in profusion. Sugar can be profitably produced at a cent a pound if necessary. There is abundance of cane from which numerous products are made. One of the by-products is the particular abomination kind of firewater known as agur diente. This is of the color of water and smells like kerosene. The natives make this in large quantities, but they are too wise to drink it. It takes an American to drink it. When a man can buy a drink for 3 cents which would cost $1.50 in the States it is no winner that Americans yield to the seduction And there is more fight to the quart than any liquor in the world. I am of the sugar in the raw state, which look to me like ordinary wood alcohol. It is refined and worked into various forms, an excellent quality of rum being one of its products. The natives even of the lowest walke of life, drink wine. The wine is imported from Spain. In fact, they can not make wine in Cuba, or rath-could not under the Spanish regime. The government forbade the saising of gropes. Another example of what Spanish rule meant may be cited the fact that all the tile and all roofs are covered with tile, and had to be brought from Spain, the natives not being allowed to moke their own tile. The general impression that much tobacco is raised in Cuba is wrong. The Cuban tobacco is the world and commands a high price, nut it is not raised in quantity. A Cuban that has a patch of ground as big as your hand, dignifies it with the title plantation. It is a statistical fact that the state of Kentucky raises three times as much tobacco every year as isproduced in Cuba. Wait until Americans get into the tobacco business over there. Insteac of a fhw hundred feet of ground an American will devote forty acres to the weed and make money. The amount of Cuban made cigars sold in the States is misleading. As an example of the profuseness of tropi-products, I may state that I have bought grape fruit at 8 ots per dozr I priced the same article in St. Louis the other day and found that they broufht 25 cts. apiece. In Florida, men pay $1.00 an acre for sand of which they hope to make soil for an orange grove. Then they run the risk of frequent frosts. In Cuba, bottomles soil can be bought at $20. an acre and there never was a frost. Send us your news THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA KANSAS. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

A HAPPY PAPA Word has reached the city that Robert Braden, formerly of this city, but now at Caldwell, Ks., is the happy papa of a bouncing 11 lb boy. The press dispatch says that you "can't tell the son from the father," so near alike are they. Jno. Phelps, who furnishes us the item says he is at a loss to know whether the like of the goes to the credit of the happy father or the new son. However svffice it to say that he is a fine boy, and what's more, the young arrival of May 30, 1901, is a full fledged K. of P. and announced his intention, so the father says, to make things warm in K. of P. circles. Bob writes that the young son desired to take a stroll up town with him, but he said, "No son, you are just a ieetle too young to go yet, wait a few days and I will have you go with me." The boys of Toas lodge, No 10, K of P of which Bob is a member, congratulate him, and wish he son and mother' every joy. Mother a d son are doing well. Next Monday night the semi-annual election of the officers of Taos lodge No. 10, K. of P. will take place. There seems to be much speculation as to who will win the plums. In the race for C. C.. S. W. Flemming seems to lead since Vice, Joe Phillips has withdrawn. For vice, there seem to be no choice. For K. of R. S. the boys are undecided, while for M. of T. Jno. H. Phelps seems to lead with no opposition. Geo. Daniels, for M. of Ex, seem to lead withno opposition. It will, no doubt be a close election as the boys seem to have made up their minds to get good, experience men in all those offi- SONG SERVICE. It is always a source of pleaure for us to attend the song service at the A. M. E. church. It seems that the singing of the young people of the junior choir, electrifies one's very soul and makes him feel like a man. These services are grand. They provide a place for the young people to go preceding the evening services. The manner in which they are conducted commends itself to all those who once attend. Let the services continue. A TESTIMONIAL. The young men of the city will give a Grand testimonial for the benefit of Rev. A. C. Terrill of the A. M. E. church. Rev. Terrill has made a host of friends since coming to this city two years ago and the testimonial to be offered by the the young men will be one of the grandest events ever witnessed in the city.

In the course of a recent discussion of the antipathy of most women to mice, a New York lawyer related a curious incident. An Italian was trying, on a street corner, to sell white mice, one of which, by way of attracting the attention of the passers-by, he allowed to sit upon his hat brim. Two women noticed the mouse, and stopped. The owner lifted it down and began to describe its good qualities—its tameness, its beauty, its docility—in the hope of effecting a sale. In the middle of his discourse the little creature made a sudden spring, and alighted upon the arm of one of the women. She gazed for a moment with dilating eyes of horror, and then, with a loud shriek, fell in a faint to the sidewalk. She was carried into the nearest shop and it was twenty minutes before she recovered consciousness. The curious thing about it is that a policeman, attracted by the commotion, recognized her as a daring criminal, whose portrait was in the rogue's gallery, and whose offenses against the law had been accompanied by violence; she had been twice convicted of assaults with knife and pistol. Yet this lawless and dangerous virago collapsed at contact with a mouse! Charles Reade, the novelist, recognized the complete dissociation between this shuddering antipathy and any feebleness of will or courage. In one of his best tales his Scotch heroine, a dauntless fisher-girl, who has dared the elements all her days, and has but a moment before braved the wrath of a drunken sailor, shrinks terrified from a mouse with a string tied to its leg, which a small child tried to show to her. A friend points out her inconsistency. "A mouse is an awesome beast; it's not like a man," explains Christie, ingeniously. To most women, and not a few men, mice are as our modern outdoor girls continue still "awesome" beasts. Nevertheless, to improve their nerve and eliminate hysteria, the number that scream, faint or lose their self-control at the sight of a scared little gray shadow skittering harmlessly across the floor, tends steadily to decrease. They may not like a mouse any better than their great-grandmothers did; but they do not like to let a mouse render them ridiculous. Youth's Companion. DIAMONDS AT A DISCOUNT. Gems Are Not the Only Requisite of Success on the Stage. Once there was a merry villager in a solemn opera company who had aspiration to be a whole constellation all by herself. She watched the starry firmament very carefully and noticed that every star had plenteous collections of jewelry and so many diamond sunbursts that they got tanned wearin them. She forgot to remember that all the stars had written testimonials to patent medicines, and that the picture of one of them or another went with every bottle of tonic. She thought all were stars who glittered and straightway saved up her salary for ten years and soon had a bureau drawer full of kohinoors. She then applied for a job on the strength of her gem museum. But the manager asked her if her pictures were all over the town recommending a new sort of nutritious puppy biscuit. Then she sadly replied that it was not. He replied: "You won't do. The diamonds are all right, but we can't put them on a billboard." Whereupon he blew cigarette smoke through his nose, which signified that the interview was over. Moral: A bucket of paste on a billboard is worth two real diamonds in the top drawer of a Louis Seize chiffonier.-New. York Commercial Advertiser. Proposed Tunnel Under Sea: The bringing of the isle of Wight into closer communication with the mainland by the construction of a submarine tunnel has been proposed. The idea is by no means an original one, since it was first suggested over fifteen years ago. The present idea, however, is to penetrate the bed of the Solent, near Hurst castle, and to emerge upon the island at Totland bay, near the Needles. The channel at this point is two miles in width and the preliminary surveys have revealed the fact that the soil through which the tunnel will extend is favorable to the rapid completion of the work, so that no unusual engineering difficulties will be experienced. The enterprise is well supported financially and the application for the necessary powers will be made during the coming parliamentary session. It is estimated that the total cost of the project will amount to $3,750,000 and that it can be completed within two and a half years—Chicago Journal. Turquoises from Mount Sinai. Turquoises from Mount Sinai. The Egyptian turquoises, so called, come in reality from Mount Sinai. The highly-valued Persian stones are obtained from Nishapur in the most primitive manner. A wooden wheel, operated by the feet of two men lying on their backs, brings the broken rock to the surface in bags; the fragments are smashed with hammers, and when a turquoise is discovered it is put aside and sent with the next batch to Meshed to be cut. A Bottle-Washing Machine A bottle-washing machine is being built for a brewing company in Milwaukee which will wash, scrub and rinse, outside and inside, 40,000 bottles in a day of ten hours. Some historians say that the manufacture of silk was introduced into Spain by the Moors. Most people eat more than is good for them. The stomach tries to digest all that's put into it, but if repeatedly overloaded, it goes on a strike. That's indigestion. Rich, over-sweet, indigestible food weakens the stomach and makes it unable to take care of the material put into it. More food taken into a weakened stomach than the stomach can digest, stays there, forms gases and rots, bringing on all the horrors of dyspepsia. The only way to cure dyspepsia is to clean out the digestive canal with CASCARETS. Keep it clean with Cascarets, eat light food sparingly, and give the stomach a chance to rest up and get strong again.

It is to be inferred from this rigorous program that no Pennsylvanian would think of playing golf on Sunday.-Washington Star. Tlu from United States. Heretotore the tin used in the manufacture of salmon cans has been brought in sailing vessels from England around Cape Horn, but some of the proprietors of canneries are now using the American product, and next year it is expected that many of the British Columbia canneries will purchase their tin in the United States. Low Wages on Farms. The bulletin of the United States Department of Labor quotes some astonishingly low wages for farm labor from the last annual report of the North Carolina Bureau of Labor. The average monthly wages paid were: Men, $8.91; women, $5.27; children, $3.58. In addition to wages, rations to the value of $3.82, and house, pasture, garden, etc., to the value of $6.23 were provided, bringing the average monthly earnings up to $15.36. Indian Territory Is Modern Senator J. V. Quarles of Wisconsin has been visiting Indian territory and comes back with his ideas of that region completely revolutionized. "I was not prepared," he says, "to find the territory in such an advanced agricultural condition. In common with most members of congress, I had an idea that Indian territory was a wild cactus country, fit residence only for those who refuse to cultivate the arts of civilization. That country has the makings of a very rich state." Phil May's Deft Sketches. Phil May, who makes humorous sketches, was 37 years old on April 22. Simple as his sketches look, produced with the minimum number of lines, the result is obtained only by hard work and the persistent elimination of each superfluous stroke of the pen until the finished result is obtained. Mr. May has seen many sides of life, for at one time he traveled with a theatrical company and played many parts, for a salary of $2.75 a week. A Blacksmith's Strange Experience. Goodland, Kan., June 3.—N. E. Albertson, our leading blacksmith has been a great sufferer from rheumatism. He was so bad that he could not sleep for the great pain in his arms and shoulders. He had been afflicted for years, but lately he was so much worse, that he thought he would have to give up his shop altogether. Then a strange thing happened. A friend of his recommended a new medicine called Dodd's Kidney Pills, said to be a cure for Rheumatism. He commenced to use them, and at once began to recover. His pain has all left him, and he is a well man today, and entirely free from any symptom of Rheumatism. To say that he is thankful, is putting it very mildly. He is delighted. Dodd's Kidney Pills deserve credit for having cured this very severe and almost hopeless case. From recent reports, there does not seem to be anything that they will not cure, as very bad cases of Bright's Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, Rheumatism, and Heart Trouble, have been cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills, even after having been given up by our best doctors. Wise men are conservative. Only fools give their candid opinions on all occasions. BACKACHE SHOULD WARN WOMEN. MISS LUCY ANNIE HEISER, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINN.

We hear of a great many "coming men," but only a few of them ever arrive. From Mrs. Amanda Shumaker, who has charge of the Grammar Department of the Public Schools of Columbia City, Wash., also Past Columbia of Independent Order of Good Templars. Dr. Harman man received the following letter: Columbia City, Wash. "I can speak only good words of the repeated benefits I have had from the use of Peruna. "Too constant application to work last winter caused me to have severe head and backache and dragging pains I could not stop my work, neither I fit to go on. Reading of the beneficial results from the use of Peruna purchased a bottle and within a few days using it, began to feel better. "I constantly improved and before the seventh bottle was completed used, all palms were gone, my strength was restored, and I now seem the years' younger. "If I get tired or feel bad, Peruna can once help me, and I feel you deserve praise for placing such a conscientious medicine before a suffering public Miss. Allanda Shumaker. Mattie B. Curtis, Secretary Legion. Loyal Women, Hotel Salem, Boston. Mass., writes: "I suffered for over a year with general weakness and debility, manifested especially in severe backache and headache. M. "My physician prescribed different medicines, one of which seemed to help me any until a club associate advised me to try Peruna as it cured her of constitutional headache and stomach troubles. I at once ordered a bottle and before it was used, felt greatly improved. "I have taken four bottles and for two months have been entirely free from these maladies.
