LAKE CITY FLA.—Governor Jeng called out Company H, Floris-State Troops on the night of Judah, to protect T. J. Hampton, and confined in the Columbia city jail here for the murder of white men at Ft. White. This is on advice of the aheriff who informed that a mob of several soldiers was preparing to move to Lake City from the southern part of the county for the purpose of leaching Hampton. A cordon of city soldiers was thrown around 10 CENTS. WICHITA, KANSAS, JULY 20, 1901. Total Wreck. DOLD'S PACKING HOUSE BURNED DOWN. One of the most disastrous, unfortunate and untimely fires that ever raged in Kansas, began Tuesday morning, when about 5:30 a.m. it was discovered that the gigantic and magnificent plant of the Jacob Dold Packing Co. of this city was on fire. It was a great disaster to the hundreds of working men and women who found employment there, and to their families whom they supported; it was and is unfortunate to the Jacob Dold Packing Co. who through the great efforts of their energetic manager of this city, Mr. Fred Dold, was working hard and fast to make Wichita the center of packing industry in the West. It was unfortunate because just recently Mr. Fred Dold has expended thousands of dollars in remodeling the plant and was making additions at the cost of much more. It is untimely when it is only considered the great benefit which this plant was to the progress of the city. At no time can Wichita not miss it, and at no time more than how. We deeply and sincerely regret the mishap. We could not finish without telling our readers of the grand part played in checking the fire by our most excellent fire department. When the alarm was sounded, the fire was then almost beyond human controle in the lard department and box factory. Our Chief of Fire Departmdt, Chief A. G. Walden, readily saw that to try to check it would be useless, and so turned his attention to save the office building, engine rooms, boiler rooms and the new building now under construction, and so well did Chief Walden manage it, that today those buildings stand as monuments of his capabilities of management of a large fire. No fire department in the world has a better fire department, managed by a more capable chief than the fire department of Wichita. They deserve praise for the excellent manner in which they managed the fire at Dold's Tuesday. church, they had praise meeting and song seavices, it was something grand. I will send several subscribers to oyur paper inmy next letter as all are very much pleased with it. Wishing You Success, I Remain, J. W. Thompson. A COLORED HERO. All the heroes are not in uniform, their actions quickened by war drums and influenceddd by all mankind as an audience and history as a recorder. The Negro in Indianapolis who was caught by steam carelessly let into a boiler where he and a companion were working was of real heroic fibre. As the destroying scald poured upon them they ran for the ladder to the manhole in their chamber of torture and death. Phelps reached it first but drew back and cried to his mate: "You first Jim; you are married," and Jim went first and was saved while the deadly steam cooked Phelps' flesh as he followed and he was drawn out of the hole to die. With his last breath he said quietly: "It was Jim's right to go first; he is married." The man who, in such peril could remember the wite of his mate and her mourning, and die willingly rather than bring widowhood and sorrow into a humble home was a greater hero than all the commanders that have lead armies. "Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for a friend." There was no glory in sight, no renown, none of that reward in history that enters the motives of some. There was nothing but an awful death that another might live. Let all the men remember this lowly laborer. His place is in the greatat company of martyrs who have patiently tasted death that men might live or principles be promoted. He was of that race that race that we call inferior, b his black skin covered a heroic soul. In the center of the city of his saerifice, rises a stately monument to the soldier dead of Indiana. It perpetuates the memory of George Roger Clark and the high action of old Vincennes, and reminds the beholder of the defenders of the flag in many wars. It is rigot that it is there. But let us trust to Indianapolis to rear another less lofty shaft abova the dust of this dusky hero, and carve upon its base: "It was right for Jim to go first; he is married." Is it possible that one Negro has at last done something for which the white press of the country call him a "hero?" Thank God they at last discover that we are capable of producing a "hero.". The time will come when we will produce other "heroes" who although they may not die as the above great Negro did, they will nevertheless prove that Negroes can be "heroes" as well as white men, Phelps is only one of the many Negroes who died a martyr upon the principle of a man Afro - Americans A LINE OR TWO ABOUT THEM AND ABOUT THEIR DOINGS Scandal-mongers seem to be getting a big amount of matter these days. When will our people learn to hold sacred the good name of man or woman? At this age of industrialism, no girl's education is complete unless she has been instructed in sewing, cooking and household duties so essential to the making of good housekeeping. The right of petition is one of the highest prerogatives of a people, but we have so many chronic petitioners among the race that when eve they petition they do more harm than good. Some of our young wom n who should be ornaments in society, are conducting themselves in such a manner as to bring down upon themselves the reproach and contempt of all good people. Honesty, Integrity and wealth makes the Negro a man and a citizen, not the color of the skin no the texture of the hair, Hon. H. P. Cheatham has been re-appointed Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia, by President McKinley. The Grand Lodge of Masons at Washington hat rescinded a resolution adopted two years ago recognizing Negro masonry. In the United States there are 33,447 Negro deaf mutes autes and about 3,308 who can not speak or hear a loud conversation. Gov Nash, of Ohio, has notified the railroads of Virginia and Kentucky that they must not run their Jim Crow cars into Ohio. Since the legislatuae of Tennessee at its last session excluded Negro students from the Maryville College, White its white president has resigned. Miss Ethel Perry Chestnutt who graduated at Smith College last June, is a daughter of Mr. Charles W. Chestnutt, the author, and will be one of the teachers at the Tuskegee Normal and industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., during the next year. Rev. T. W. Thurston, superintendent of the Ashley Bailey Silk Mill at Fayetteville, N. C., which employs Negro help altogether, has been appointed Chief Director of the Manufacturing Department of the Negro buildings at the Charl-town Interstate and West Indies Exposition soon to be held in South Carolina. He will send some of his best machine to the exposition in charge of a numbe of his picked employees, and will thus give practicle demonstrations of silk manufacturing by Negroes. The cloth will be woven there, will be cut into numerous pieces and distributed to visitors. FROM DANVILLE. Mr. Miller, I recieved the Searchlight promptly and we were glad to recieve such a newsy and thorough race journal one which every member of the race should be proud of. We are all proud of it. The boys all got a paper, and I gave the copies out which you sent, and the peop of Danville were very proud to get one of the colored papers of Kansas. They were eager to see what the colored people in the great wheat and corn State are doing and more especially those in and around the Peerless Princess, the city of the Arkansas Valley, the Gateway of the West. I see that our flour is on sale here, that speaks well for Wichita. While I am writing this letter we are having a sprinkling a sprinkling of rain which causes my mind to wonder if the good people of Kansas are yet so blessed. Speaking of Danville again, we have one colored mail carrier, Mr. George Cautrell; his route is on South Main St. There are in all 11 employed in the government service in Danville. I hope that Wichita will soon place herself on record with a colored mail carrier. I read with great pleasure your article about a cofored fire department which Chief A. G. Walden will give Wichita. I am glad indeed to know that Wichita has such a grand Chief of Fire Department as to so nicely recognize the colored citizens; may he live long and ever be happy. Such acts as these should and will more solidly cement the colored vote to rally the banner of the great Republican party. Speaking of the track work, we have laid about two blocks of it and we have about two miles to lay in all. As soon as we get one mile laid, the company will pnt cars on, and follow us up as we go. We have one bridge 900 ft long to build across. Mr. Nelson wants me to go with him and family to Ft. Wayne Ind., and I think I will accept. If I go it will be about two weeks yet.

"To be or not to be; that's the question?" That is to say, to be a man or net to be a man. With the Pittsburg Headlight the Fert Scott Lantern the Columbus Moderd Light and the Wichita Searchlight in the publication field in Kansas the state should not want for illuminating materials.—Pittsburg Kansan. The colored people have had their bitter experience with false, campaign office seeking friends; what they want now is true frsendship-the same after a campaign as well as, before and during them. We will when the time comes, enlarge on this subject. P. D. G. M. Jas. L. Harper and his committee and the citizens of Wichita are to be praised for the very hospitable manner in which they entertained the District Grand Lodge. Chief A. G. Walden and his firemen did good work at the Dold fire Tuesday, and they deserve praise. T. P. Powell has reared a nice building on his property, 817 N. Wichita St. That office holder who loses all interest in a "Nigger" paper after the campaign and he is in, must watch, or he is likely to be left at the pole next time. He must remember, he is not "the only pebble on on the beach" neither is he the "hot-test" thing that ever came down the pike" for "there are others" "just as hot as he." We're not asleep. Every delegate to the Grand Session got stuck on Wichitr. We know that she's alrigh. We had a nice rain. It made us feel mighty proud to hear the citizens of Wichita speak such high words of praise of the Searchlight as they did during the session of Odd Fellow Grand Lodge.

M. of this city through their worshipful Master, J. T Chinneth and their committee on building purchased a lot on the corner of Water and Elm streets last week and in the near future will begin the construction of a lodge hall. This is one of the best acts ever performed by an colore lodge, and it is something over which every colored citizen may well be proud The building be of brick and three stories high. The Ladies' Court of Calanthe, K. of P., will give a Moonlight Social at the residence of Mrs. Parthina Glover, next Wednesday night. It is hoped that all will go out and patronize the ladies. P. F. Lewis the capable District Grand Secretary of the Odd Fellow Grand Lodge was very popular in Wichita's society, especially among the ladies. All enjoyed his pleasant company and hope he will re-visit our city again soon. The Odd Fellow's Street parade Thursday was something grand The parade was led by Prof. Fisher's Military Band and beginning at 1st and Main, paraded the principle streets. The Musical and Literary program rendered at Garfield hall Thursday, was most enjoyable. Mr. Freeman Vandevenzer the gentlemanly manager of the Boston Store, left Saturday for a three week vacation in Perry, O. T. and vicinity. While in that section he will register and try for land. We wish him a nice trip. It is not often that we are surprised, but we must admit our surprise to learn that our friend W. W. H. Grant has quietly married and FORT'SCOTT NEWS.

Tapp Bros. & Hanshaw Leavenworth The last day of the Knights of Tabor meeting was held Thursday 12, over 150 delegates and visitors were here from all the cities in the two States that had lodges of tabor. One of the features of the session was the yarade at noon. It was formed at G. A. R. and marched through the principle streets of the city. The Platte City Colored Band lead the procession followed by the Younger Knights, marshalled by gaily dressed and plummed officers of the order; then came mounted Knights resplendent in their handsome uniforms. The ladies of the lodge came next in carriages. They all wore the regulation dress of purple trimed in gold and were not by any means the leasat attractive part of the highly attractive parade. In the afternoon the members with all their friends repaired to the park where a picnic was held. All the features of the usual successful picnic were present, including bowling, shooting and dancing. The members all had lunch with them and a merry time was enjoyed throughout the entire day. The evening was passed in the installation of officers. The meeting was held in the G. A. R. Hall and was highly interesting. Immediately after the installation, refreshments of ice cream, cake and punch were served. The officers who were put in position Friday night follows:— C. G. M. Frank Wilson; C. G. P. Emma Gaines; G. V. P. Bessie Hall; C. G. R. Sarah Williams; C. G. L., A. W. Hopkins; C. G. T. Wm. A. Core; C. G. M., C. J. Taylor; C. G. O. Allen Garner. This meeting concludes the Grand Session of this year. The next one will be at Omaha in July, 1902. It is doubtful that the Omaha Tabors can entertain their visitors in a more satisfactory manner than was employed here. The warm weather continues; fortunately we have not had a case of prostration. Miss Minnie Richardson is spending a few days visiting in Kansas City. The annual sermon of the U. B. F. and S M.

NEGRO SAVED FROM GALLOWS. LITTLE Rock, ARK.—The Supreme Court, on July, 14th reversed and remaneed fora a new trial, the case of Will Bussey, colored, under sentence to hang at Camden, August, 13th, for criminal assault. The prosecuting witness, a white woman, stated under oath that she testified falsely against the Negro under dueess, and with her evidence eliminated, there is not sufficient testimony to warrant a conviction. Thus it is shown that the truth is gradually coming to the surface that Negroes are not guilty of all the assaults that are charged against them, and not in all cases where they are "identified"(?)by the prosecuting witness. This witness serves applause in thus confessing to the truth when a human life at stake.
