Wichita Searchlight

Endowment Day at the A. M. E. which was observed in the most appropriate manner. The whole work was spent in exercises characteristic of the occasion. In the evening a very nice and much enjoyed program was rendered. First on program was an address "Endowment Day" by Mr. S. S. Washing; which was full of logic and talk. His address was relied with high appreciation by large audience. Then came Mrs. E. Motin who read a paper, sub- "A Christian's Duty to God." Every one who follows the advice performs the duties as laid Mrs. Motin will have no fears of forming their duty to God. Next a bass solo by Mr. S. O. Clay-unitified "Dividing The World" which was received heartily. Then the Miss Lula Covington with a excellent paper, subject, "How live," which was highly entertaining and full of literary taste. Ms. L. White was next and eang beautiful solo which was recieved in high compliments, Mr. J, T. Duneth was then called and made remarks on the topic of the Miss Lula Parks was next and delivered a grand recita- subject, "The Grave," which whole audience pronounced Mrs. W. H. A. Clark then forward with a declamation, and "The Gem of Beauty." In declamation, Mrs. Clark proved great ability as a literary leader student. Last but not least Mrs. E. Landrum in a paper, which she spoke in glowing tones the grand work which has been amplified for the Negro race by A. M. E. church; her paper was used with pronounced and pro- pled applause. The greatest sur- face of the twentieth century hap- when Rev, Terrell announ- that the evening collection did be raised by Mr. Hal L. Keyy and W. N. Miller. It so hap- that Neeley and Miller were close together and each of the other a surprised look, never, they raised $6.27. wespear said: "The evil men are after them; the good is of with their bones." That were saying, but it needs a lit- tification now, in some cases and should be as follows: the evil that some do be buried their bones, and the good live them." It will require thou- sse less space. On next Sunday the Second Bapist church will install Rev. H. V. Plummer, of Kansas City, Kansas, as pastor. This promises to be one of the grandest events of the year and all who attend will be grandly entertained. From a standpoint of experience, race leadership, and race devotion, Rev. Plummer stands second to none and all will do well to show him that distinction and appreciation which is due a man of his high standing and station. A most excellent program has been arranged for the whole day and nothing will be left undone to highly entertain and please all. In the morning will be Prayer and Praise Meeting led by Rev. J. Mitchem. Rev. Mitchem needs no introduction to the many people among whom he has labored so earnestly so many years. At 11 a.m. will be rende ed a grand Sacred Literary led by Miss Blanche Alexander Miss Alexander is a recognized intellectual leader among our people of this city and the pragram which will be rendered under her guidance promises to eclipse any thing of the kind ever heard. At 3:30 p.m. will take place the grand installation in which the following pastors are invited to take part: Rev. W. Gibson, pastor of the First Baptist church; Rev. A. C. Terrill pastor of A. M. E. church; Rev. H. F. Frazier, pastor of New Hope Baptist church; Rev. R. McTnrner, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church; Rev. W. R. Hardy, pastor of Friendship Baptist church and others.

James. 3rd ....."The Young Ladies," Mr. Richard WalKer. 6th.....Paper-Miss Fannie Motin. 7th.....Vocal solo A woman's department for colored women will be an attractive feature of the Charleston, S. C., Expositon. A banker of San Antonia, Tex., Mr. G. W. Breckinridge, has given $10,000 to erect a school house in that city for colored children. We would like to know when, if ever the average Negro will be brought to a full realization of the arrant sense of talking too much of Christianity while acting so much of hypocrisy knavery and deciel. WICHITA, KANSAS, AUGUST 24 1901. WILL REPEAT IT. Mr. F. D. Andrews and his company will repeat the grand musical given at Garfield Opera House Aug. 12th. This was, no doubt, one of the finest presentations ever made by Wichita Colored Society and well deserves the high praise which they received. The musical will be repeated at the A. M. E. church on on next Monday night Aug. 26th, and all those who delight in the rendition of a classical and highly entertaining musical and literary, should avail themselves of the opportunity to hear this program Every number on the program is a star number, and all of them are most creditable to the whole race, and reflects much credit on Mr. Andrews in making so wise a selection of talent. The following is the program:— 1st Opening Chorus—"Runaway Girl." 2nd "In Good Old New York town." Mr. Jno Edgerton. 3rd Recitation-Miss Sallie Rawls. 4th "Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder"—Mrs. Birtie Waters. 5th "Strike Up The Band"—Bud Hickerson. 6th Solo, "The Poppies"—Miss Bessie Jones. 8th "I'd Like To Hear That Song Again"—Miss Mattie Andrews. 9th "She's All My Own"—Mr. Stewart Waters. 10th Rec.—Miss Lula Parks. 11th "She Rests By the Swanee River"—F. D. Andrews. 12th "Good Bye Dolly Gray—Harry Colbert- Tillman has been harping, talking and snorting against the Negro gro for more than forty years, and each year the Negro has accumulated more property, both real and personal, has built more homes, has had more graduates, more substantial farmers, and in fact has grasped a better hold on the republic from day to day which proves that so far a the Negro is concerned Tillman's talk has no effect. The Negro is here and here to stay and all the vehemence of Tillman and his coharts can not uproot him. He is a main spring in the wheel of progress of this country and will ever remain, growing firmer and firmer each day. THEIR CLOSE SHAVE "Nick Chiles" says Colonel Major Jeltz, speaking of his newspaper rival, "would have been mobbed at Turon last week had he been there. We came near serving the same fate." There are some people who are too indolent adle-minded to try to do any thing themselves, or be any body, and it is that class of halfwayfarers who are constantly and continually finding fault with the efforts of other people to be of some service while in the world. Thii is the low grade and useless 'knocker,' the grumbler and fault-finder, the man who has always got more time to pry into other people's affairs than he has to attend to his own. The reason is plain, he has no business of his own, not even a pleasant thought of himself. These "knockers" "grumblers" and pegleg fault-finders are simply filling space on earth that some goon men mifht put to good use. They are a pestilence and unnecessary evil to the progress of mankind. They have outlived their usefulness. Their day is spent. There are a few of these in Kansas, and one or two by-the way have "dropped off" in Wichita, they are not of sufficient worth and import to be here mentioned, but it MAY become necessar to give them non-deplumes later; if so, out she will come and that lige lightning. The "knocker" can find no more quarters in Wichita. HE MUST Go! CULLS Peter Jackson the noted colored pugilist, is dead. He died July 23, at Roma, near Sydney, N. S. W., B. C., of consumption. There is nothing wore than an individual who has no regard for the truth. Prunes have advanced in price but the statesmen who are full of them will probably manage to continue in that condition Mrs. Nation denies that woman was made from man's rib. Sometimes women act in such a way as to give the impression that they were made from a crazy bone. Hubbard B. McDonold, the journal clerk of the United States senate is credited with being the ablest parliamentarian connected with that body. He is, moreover, the third of his family to hold that position, as his father and grandfather preceded him in it. Those Virginia Democrats were afraid to sav right out in meeting that the didn't want the colored brother to vote on his own distranchisement. Why not lee him vote and then do the counting in the same old way? A Negro man who acts upon the suggestions of others, is void of a reasonable portion of common horse sense, and is a very bad character. APPRECIATOR, FORT SMITH, ARK.

Main BRIEFS Skating was a sport of the Northmen in prehistoric times An apt quotation is sometimes better than an original remark. Young women who respect themselves should be careful to select respectable associates. Pitchfork Tillman, of South Carolina, is receiving some heavy blows from some of the leaders of his own party now-a-days. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it, Idleness is both a great sin and the cause of many more. Our deeds determine us, as much as we determine our deeds. Some men take a life time to prove how much wisdom they lack. A moral wrapped up in sugar goes down certainly, but it may be feared that it only goes down because of the sugar. It is only the critic and the philosopher that can penetrate into all states of being and realize their life from within. There are times when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act. Composure is often the highest result of power. The art of putting men in the right places is the highest in the science of government, but that of finding places for the discontented is the most difficult. It is the compensation of the humble that the fountain of their blood is made sweet by denial, swift by plain fair, and strong by living close to nature's heart. The habit of blaming others when things go wrong is an insidious and dangerous one. Far more is it to the purpore to inquire within whether the fault or much of it, may not lie at home. He who is every body's friend is generally nobody's. The character which can shape itself to fit in every niche is like a rubber ball, too malleable to stay long any where or have much inside except air. Searchlight $1.00 NO.13 A God Send We wish to call the attention of our many readers who are troubled with Rheumatism, Dyspepsia, Asthma, Constipation, Piles, Cataarh, Pleurisy, Nenralgia, and many other ailments which space will not permit us to mention, to the accompanying cut. This is a likeness of a "Perfected Oxygenor King;" the health restorer and life saver. This is the latest improved and only house oxygening instrument constructed simply upon scientific principles, all others are more or less antiquated, and are not capable of curing as the "Perfected Oxigenor King." -SEE No. 1. HOW IT OPERATED. The PERFECTED OXIGENOR KING is set in operation by attaching the zinc treating plate to the ankle and the copper treating plate to the patient or visa versa and keeping the generator at a temperature of from 30 to 60 degrees lower than that of the body. The temperature of the body is 98 degrees. This may be done in one of several ways described in the direction book furnished with each instrument. It is no longer necessary that the generator be placed in water as formerly before the instrument was "perfected." —SEE No. 2 NO HUMBUG. The "PERFECTED" OXYGENOR KING is not a fake or a humbug; there is nothing mysterious about it, but it is a common-sense method of treatment more successful than any other, as its thousands of devoted friends are everywhere ready to testify. — See No. 3. NO SKEPTICS. Let skeptics make candid inquiry' and give it a fair opportunity to demonstrate its powers. It stands for just what it is—a curative agent without a rival. It affords us great pleasure to recommend this instrument to all who desire a permanent and safe cure for their diseases. Call at room 515, Winne Bldg., and consult Mr. G. M. Glenn, Mangr. who will give you full information free of cost. There is now more than 100 of these instruments in use in the city and all highly recommend them. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

That Pearce City Mob- Again innocent blood is drawn and and innocent lives are taken by a mod of "superior" hoodlums, and again it is innocent Negro blood that is drawn and innocent Negroes lives taken. Kansas has had her turn and burned her victim at the stake; Colorado did like wise, then Kentucky, Alabama and other states. Now our attention is called to the mob of Missouri friends at Pierce City. The Pierce City mob in the scope of its fiendishness surpasses all record, and is more uncivilized than the heathens in the jungles. What makes it so is because the mob admits that it knew that it's victims were guilty of no crime, but executed them and bu'ned their homes on general principles—which principles were—that their victims were unsuspected, powerless and peacable Black men. We do not attempt nor would we condole or plead for a man who would forcibly violate the chastity of any woman, white or black, for we believe that to be the lowest of crimes and which should be punished in the most severe and speedy manner known to the law. But we are unalterably, and always will be, opposed to mob-law in its simplest form, and when mobs execute persons whom they know are guitless they should receive quarters no place. The time is now at hand when the Negro must put forth his might and put an everlasting stop to this uncivilized American institution—lynching. The Negro must write in letters of blood and cement with brands of fire that for every Negro who is burned at the stake or lynched, his equivalent must be had. He must cease to rely upon the one-sided arm of the so-called "law" for protection. --- The color line in the Amalgamated association was broking last week at Pittsburg, when an Afro-American ledge of steel workers at the Clark plant was organized.

LONDON HOTELKEEPER REFUSES TO BAR NEGROES, LONDON, Aug. 19-The Afro-American delegates to the International Ecumenical Council which is to meet in Wesley's chapel in Cityroad London, next month, are already arriving. Their advent is causing unexpected difficulty in one of the big hotels in the West end, where a large number of Americans are staying. The latter amazed bp the announcement that some two hundred colored men were coming, formally protested to the proprietor, assuring him that such a thing would not be permitted in the United States, and demanding that the colored be accommodated in a separate part of the hotel. The proprietor declined to interfere, with the result that some of the Americans are already arranging to leave. To r representative of the Associated Press he said to-night: tion CHEAPER THAN EVER TO COLORADO and UTAH Daily June 18th to Sept. 10th 1901.....

I told the Americans that when the Indian Princes were here. No one objected to meeting them, and I do not propose to make any distinction at the expense of Africans." And still we sing about America being the "Land of The Free," and Americans we style "The Farthers of Freedom." Enough of that hipocryt! Enough of that false doctrine! Away with that mis-leading teaching. The innocent blood of the thousands, yea, millions of Negroes who have been hurled to an untimely and innocent grave in the so-called "Land of the free," will some day rise up as a mighty thunder burst to testify against them, and yet not content ostricising the Negro at home, they even go abroad and attempt to put their nefarious teachings into practice. But, thank heavens, they are stopped for once. While the many friends of humanity are fighting the battles of the American colored man, he must not forget to prove himself a man in all of his undertakings. He must learn to have high respect for law and orde. He must walk out of the criminal classes. He must acquaint himself becomingly of every obligation which he assumes:—Ex.

Continuing he said: "Why is it your boys don't sell your paper instead of weite papers? Why is it your people don't encourage the black boys to handle your paper?" It is this, as we have always contended: That the Negro is an inferior being. He thinks that what a white man makes is better than his own, and this is applicable to both the educated and the uneducated. The average Memphis Negro is an inferior being: —Memphis Colored Citizen. And in this regard Memphis is not alone. There are other places in the same boat. Of course not in Wichita though. Men who essay to be wise profess great confusion over the so-called race problem in America. The race problem as we see it is the only problem of right against wrong. The best elements of this country must join hands against the worst elements. The foolish talk on the part of white men and colored men about race, must give way before true worth. Mind must be accepted as the measure of the man, and conduct must decide the world's opinion of mortals. Herein lies the solution of the problem. It is not to be found elsewhere.—Dallas Express.

CONSUMPTION A Rival Town is Started on Allotment Next to Hobart. ANADARKO STILL A DRY TOWN. Hobart, O. T., Aug. 22.—The last business lot on the Hobart townsite is sold and the total sales reached $114,051 for the $36 lots. The highest estimate at the beginning of the sale was $75,000. The auctioneer has commenced on the residence lots and some big figures are expected. Prices of business locations have trebled since the sale began. August 7, E. W. Kitber bid up to $101 on a corner lot and let it go to another for $150. On the 9th he paid $335 for a corner no better located. He has refused $1,000 for his lot. The new twn is rapidly assuming form. Buildings are going up on nearly every lot. At least 50 new structures were started in one day. Hobart has a town fight on its hands that is becoming interesting. John T. Hill, who acted as interpreter during the negotiations with the Indians for the purchase of the new country, was allotted 160 acres by the government adjoining the townsite of Hobart on the northwest. Surveyors were put at work staking lots and a strong effort will be made to entice citizens from the townsite to the new location, which is more convenient to the Rock Island depot than the present site. Anadarko,—Residence lots have reached their lowest ebb here when they sold as low as $15 with an average of about $45. The first attempt to open a saloon resulted in an arrest. The officers are determined to enforce all the laws. A commercial club is being organized to take action on street lighting and grading and to advance the interests of Anadarko generally. A band is being organized. There are two telephone companies engaged in the construction and putting in of local exchanges here. Benzine And Oil Fire Pniladelphia, Pa., Aug. 21.—A disastrous fire occurred at the Atlantic Oil Refining company's plant. An immense tank of benzine exploded and many firemen who were near it were victims of blazing oil and pieces of iron. There were five killed and many badly burned. More than a dozen tanks of benzine and petroleum were destroyed. The loss will reach a million dollars. It is believed that twenty firemen were injured by the explosion. Joliet Mills Closed. Joliet, ILLs., Aug. 17.—The Steel mill here closed after a meeting of the Amalgamated men, who were addressed by vice president Davis and Secretary Tighe These men asked to be allowed to fulfill their contracts before going out, as did those of other western mills, but were persuaded to break their contracts and quit work. So the fires were drawn and 3,000 more men are idle, to be supported by those who work. Another Turkish Massacre. London, Aug. 20.—A dispatch from Constantinople, says a body of 400 Kurds has been raiding the Damaizara district of Armenia and has destroyed twelve villages, leaving nothing but smoking ruins. Only the young girls were spared. They were carried off to the harems. All the males were ruthlessly butchered. Shipping Reliever. St. Petersburg, Aug 19.—Lieutenant Wallace Bertholf, of the United States navy, has begun shipping 12,000 reindeer from Okhotsk ports to Alaska. The first shipment has gone by the steamer Progress. Work Prisoners on Roads. Kansas City, Aug. 19.—In pursuance of an order of the county court thirty-two prisoners were taken from the county jail to Independence to work on the county roads. There were twenty-eight negroes and four white men in the gang. They went to Independence on an electric car. Only those in the jail under petty sentences were taken. Many of the prisoners expressed themselves as glad of the opportunity of getting out of their cells even if it was to work. Shamrock IL is Yankee New York, Aug. 19.—Shamrock II, now here, is built from Yankee models, with nearly all the late Yankee improvements; even the matter of blocks have been derived from American sources. The sails are of American cotton duck and the main sail is laced to the boom—a recent concession to American methods. As a matter of fact the Shamrock II has more of American "wrinkles" in hull, spars, sails and rigging than are indigenous to Great Britain. Santa Fe Extends Yards Emporia, Aug. 22.—The yard gang is at work in the west yards. Three new tracks, each over half a mile long, are to be laid, and there is a big job of grade filling before the ties and rails go down. An appropriation of over $8,000 has been made by the company for this purpose and work will soon be begun. The grading will not be done by the yard gang, but all the ties and rails will be put in by them, and there is enough to keep them busy for a long time. ADMIRE QUOTES LAW And Sides With Those Who Belleve That Wood's Entry Violates it. Lawton, Aug. 20.—Jacob Admire, for years an officer in a United States land office attacks Woods' entry as being illegal. "All persons who shall settle on land in said territory under the provision of the homestead laws of the United States, and of this act, shall be required to select the same in square form as nearly as may be." In the circular of the general land office issued July 11, 1890, the department holds that "the provision of section 20 of the act of May 2, 1890, that all homestead entries for lands within said territory shall be in square form as nearly as may be, has reference to the purpose and intent of the homestead laws generally, contemplating entries by quarter sections, which are in square form, when this is practicable," etc. Now, there was no other reason than a hoggish one, why Mr. Woods should not have selected his land in a square form, and just why the local officers permitted him to violate this plain provision of the law is not apparent. From the conclusion that Mr. Woods' entry is in violation of both the letter and spirit of the law, seems to be entirely reasonable. Argentine Smelter Closed. Argentine, Kans., Aug. 22.—The Argentine smelter, one of the largest plants owned by the American smelting and Refining company, and which employs 800 men, will, it is announced, be closed down on September 14. Assistant Superintendent McDonald says the shutdown is to give the plants a thorough cleaning. A member of the board of directors is quoted as saying: "The question whether to make extensive repairs or to completely rebuild the plant is now under consideration. How long the plant will be shut down I do not know. There is no shortage in the Argentine plant. The business will be handled at the Omaha plant, and this arrangement is only temporary, as it is not proposed to permanently close the Argentine plant." The Pierce City Tragedy. Springfield, Mo., Aug. 22.—Pierce City is near the junction of four divisions of the Frisco, and trains from all directions brought in large numbers of armed men bent on bloodshed if necessary. When the mob went to the section of the city occupied by the negroes some one in the cabins opened fire, but no one was hit. The mob then destroyed the settlement. Reckless firing broke several plate glass windows, and a train was fired into. The local hardware stores sold out their arms early, but several applications from negroes were refused. The mob was composed of a thousand or more and no masks were used. Thirty negro families were driven from their houses. Money in Bluegrass. Madison, Ks., Aug. 19.—On the Hale farm there is 240 acres of English blue grass which was allowed to ripen before cutting. It produced 3,350 bushels of seed which sold at $3 a bushel, a total of $10,050. On a nearby farm 300 bushels of seed was taken from 40 acres, bringing $900. On still another farm forty tons of alfalfa sold for $10 a ton in the stack. Boers to Use Privateers. Brussels, Aug. 21.—The Petit Bleu says Mr. Kruger has rejected the proposals recently made to him but reserves the right to have recourse to Corsairs if the British shoot Boer prisoners captured after September 15. The promoters of the privateering plan intend to ignore Mr. Kruger's refusal of their offer. Business District Filling Up. Anadarko, Ok., Aug. 17. -At the rate at which business buildings are being constructed, the business district will be solidly built up in two or three weeks. The progress being made is little short of marvelous. Many lots bought during the early days of the sale are being sold at handsome advances. The last of the business property was sold today and a little residence property in the cheaper district was disposed of. Accident at Fort Riley Fort Riley, Aug., 21.—While at target practice a 107-pound shell exploded as it was being placed in the breech of a gun of a siege battery. Henry C. Watson, paivate, of Waco, Texas, was in the act of ramming the shell home when it exploded and Watson's headless body stood erect for 15 seconds before it fell. Private John J. King soon diced and Murray Sykes, of New York City, died later. Charles Duncan was fatally wounded: Dennis Maloney, dangerously; Recuit Lloyd, seriously and two others slightly. Kansas City Stock Exchange. Kansas City, Aug. 22.—A seat on the Kansas City board of trade has been sold for $2,300 to a New Orleans grain firm. A seat upon the clearing house, useless without the former, brought $300. The $2,300 seat originally cost $25. There are 200 of them. Seats on the Chicago board of trade bring about $2,000 which is lower than the price for seats on this exchange, but it must be explained that there are more of them. Chicago has about two thousand members. The Danger Signal If you are driving across a railroad track and hear the screech of an approaching engine, you don't stop to see whether a train is coming.

The experiments tried during the Ashantee campaign by the British officers with the megaphone for giving orders were unsuccessful, owing to the thick jungle and winding paths preventing the sound from traveling. Growth of a Western Town. Phoenix, Ariz., the center of the Salt River valley, was a few years ago a sage brush desert. It has now 25,000 inhabitants, with an assessed property valuation of $10,000,000. All this is due to water, which, brought in canals from streams fed mainly from the San Francisco and other Arizona reserves, has turned the desert into a fertile valley covered with ranches and dotted with small towns. Hatching Canary Birds' Eggs. To assure the hatching of canary birds' eggs more nearly at one time the first eggs are sometimes taken away by the fanciers and replaced by artificial zones, all being put back in the nest when the bird ceases to lay.
