Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT SENATOR TILLMAN. It is highly appropriate that just at the time when Senator Tillman is advocating almost unheard of brutalities as a means of solving the Negro problem in the South, we should hear the story of Booking Washington and his wonderful Negro school. In one of the current magazines Mr. Washington tells of the origin and progress of his institute at Tuskegee, and the narrative is as profoundly impressive as any the American people have ever read. In 1881 the legislature of Alabama made an appropriation of a few hundred dollars for the purpose of establishing a Negro school. At that time Booker Washington had just been graduated from the Hampton institute and when the place of teacher in the new school was offered him he really accepted. On the Fourth of July, 1881, he gathered thirty Negro men and women into a shanty-building having been provided and formally opened the education establishment which in twenty years has grown to be a marvel of the world. To-day the college has more than forty buildings, 2,700 acres of land, hundreds of head of stock, an immense amount of industrial machinery, an endowment of $280,000, and an average attendance of more than 1,000 pupils. As early as 1882 Mr. Washington grasped the thought that what the Negro needed was something more than a school book education; that he needed to be taught the use of books and the methods of productive industry. "At first" says Mr. Washington. "the students were not anxious for industrial training, they were apt to thing that getting education meant acquiring a mattering of Latin and Greek and its chief aim was to enable them to live a life of ease. The use of the Negro race is coming see now, however, that there can be a firm foundation laid in industry, the ownership of proper and right habits of living, The students of today seek industrial education." year mentioned Mr. Washbought with his own money tres of land for $500 and introthe teaching of agriculture. le by little he interested ern philanthropists who dim money to develop his un- dertaking and the various skilled trades were aded to the curriculum. It is interesting to know that of the forty fine buildings on the grounds not one was built with other than student labor. The students made the brick and laid them and every particle of the construction, even including the decoratons, was performed by young men trught in the courses of the school. All of the money contributed in the North was used in the purchase of material or machinery. The institute now has in operation a saw mill, a planing mill, blacksmith shops, machine shops, woodworking shops, plumbing shops, electric shops, and, indeed, tools and shops running the whole range of modern industry. These shops not only teach the pupils of the school, but they are made the source of a large part of the institution's income by working for the public. Each student is allowed wages in accord with his proficiency, and the scheme is so arranged that a pupil can enter without a dollar and be graduated with a good academic education and the mastery of a trade. Every year hundrds of yoong Negroes are turned out to become examples of good citizenship in the communities where they may elect to reside. "Long ago" says Mr. Washington, "I came to understand that it was impossible to reach the body of the neglected people by any direct agency that would lift them up, but it is possible to send among them trained, earnest men and women who will live among them and teach them how to lift themselves up. And it is by such representatives as these teachers that I wish the race might be judged, and not by those who are in the penitentiary, or idle in the streets of the cities." However, we have not enumerated half of the branches taught at Tuskegee. The women are taught many useful things to fit them for self support, There is a medical department but it attempts no more than the training of nurses. Farming and dairying are taught as well as printing and book making. There is a normal department that turns out teachers able to pass the most rigid examinations required by the state. The rearing and caring for live stock is made a WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 1901. AT REST. About ten minutes a morning last, the grim death knocked gently, Rev. R.

About ten minutes of three o'clock Sunday morning last, the grim and silent messenger of death knocked gently, but firmly at the door of Rev. R. McTurner, and read the summons of the Great Judge of Mankind, bidding him to appear before the judgement bar of God to then and there give an account for his work on earth. Thousands, yea millions, multiplied by millions have received a like summons, yet not one has failed to answer. He laid aside the love of wife, the relationship of brothers and sisters, the friendship of the church members, the acquaintance of man, and left this world and took his place at the right hand side of his MAKER, there forever and ever to dwell where sorrows and partings are unknown. He is at Rest. Well may he now repeat in the presence of his God the words of the poet: Rev. McTurner lived as he died, a christian, in all that the work implies. He was faithful, religious, dutiful and ever kind. The deceased was 38 years, 3 months and 16 days old at the day of his death. He was a Missourian by birth, having been born in Lafayett of that state. He lived in his native clime til he was 20 years of age, and then went to Kansas City, Mo. where he lived 14 years. During his residence there he professed religion and later on entered the ministry 7 years ago. He came to this city in 1897 and began the pastorate of the Tabernacle Baptist church, which he retained till his death. He was married in 1886 in Kansas City and leaves a wife, daughter, two brothers, a sister and a host of friends to come on after him. part of the farming instruction. In short the Tuskegee Institute is fully up to the best schools of its kind in the world and is exceeding most of those conducted for the caucasian. And the wonder of it all is that this thing has been brought about through the faithfulness, the intelligence and indomitable energy of a black man who started from nothing and reached an eminence which none can challenge. From the materialistic standpoint alone his success is simply without parallel. By the sheer force of his personality he has gathered more than half a million dollars worth of property to the ownership of his college and the college is without one dollar of debt. Men like this must command the esteem and respect of those who know how to value true worth and merit. And the greatness of the man is empha- of three o'clock Sunday and silent messenger of but firmly at the door of read the summons of the, bidding him to appear bar of God to then and for his work on earth. multiplied by millions summons, yet not one has aside the love of wife, brothers and sisters, the members, the acquainthis world and took his side of his MAKER, there well where sorrows and He is at Rest.

Booker Washington is trying to redeem his race from the condition of bad morals and small efficiency, which naturally followed its centuries of bondage. He goes about his work casting no stones at the Southern whites who are chiefly responsible for the low civilization of the black population. Senator Tillman, on the other hand fiercely calls for vengeance, loot and murder against the people he has helped to degrade. The one challenges our profoundest admiration; the other invites loathing and contempt. Our young boys should not idle their time away on the streets. Remember boys that "an idle mind is the devil's workshop." Vot the Bonds By The Colored People of The Arkansas Valley, at AT RIVERSIDE PARK. The Biggest, Grandest and Most Elaborate Ever Given.

Wichita needs a good substantial Literary Society; one which will be of a credit. We ask our literary inclined, will you permit smaller towns than Wichita to surpass her in literary work? We say no; a thousand times no! Let our literary society be organized where the young and old may meet once each week and discuss and hear disdiscussed the leading topics of the day. Organize a Literary. THE SUBJECT. The all absorbing topic before the minds of every one is the "Race Question." The white man has discussed it both pro and con. We have read from the side of that extremist, Tillman; we have read from the pen of those less sarcastic than he, and in fact we have read the opinion of the white man on this subject in all its phases. The question is now up to the Negro, what has he to say? What has he and what will he do? All now realize that the solution must be made by the Negro. He is the one on whom all eyes are turned. Will the Negro sit idly by and not take his own part? Will he not defend himself? Wake up, be about your business!!! Do you not see that you are being crowded to the rear further every day? Why 'not make a stand? Why not make a stand and hold your own though death should be your portion? you can but die once, why not sell your lives dear? The Negro must wake from his nodding and look about him and lo! he will see there is no avenue through which he can escape. He must stand up like a man, and do his duty and do it well. Give me the practical, hustling young man and I will show you the coming successful man. Brains without mother-wit and good sound common horse-sense is not worth two hoops in glory, matters not how many diplomas he may have. What the world needs is the practical man. Let the colored mothers and fathers give their boy or girl a good common school education and a thorough industrial training, and you have made them a good and useful citizen. The Negro does not condone crime. Neither does he attempt to offer excuses for criminals. What he does ask is that justice be given through medium of the constituted law and not by mobs, and that MUST BE DONE. "Give me liberty or give me death," is one of the foundations of this country. But oh how sadly it is misconstrued and still more sadly applied. John E. Lewis has bought the restaurant formerly conducted by Mrs. Ara Dunn at 715 E. Douglas. He will be pleased to meet all of his old acquaintances there. Rev. H. V. Plummer, the new and popular pastor of the Second Baptist church, left Monday for his home in Kansas City to attend to some very important business. He returned Thursday and is on hand to speak to his large audience Sunday. We wish to thank our many patrons for the most liberal manner in which they paid their subscription to our collector and we hope to be able to please you still. Mrs. J. E. Lewis and Mrs. Lee Anderson returned Sunday from an extended trip to Lawrence, Kansas City, Leavenworth and Topeka. They stopped in Newton Sunday where they were the guests of Mrs. Childs and Mrs. Miller' Both report a most enjoyable time. If all the colored people would remember our JOB DEPARTMENT as Rev, H. V. Plummer and members of the Second Baptist church does we would be rushed with their work alone. We again thank the Ladies of the Mission Circle, the various clubs and Rev. Plrmmer for their nice pieces of job work. We thank you. Mrs. J. T. Chinneth and son left Tuesday for Kingman to spend a few weeks visiting as the goests of Mrs. M. E. Wood. Henry Massie is able to be up. He was out on the streets Tuesday for the first time in many months. We were all prond to see him out and hope his speedy recovery. Permit us to call your undivided attention to the grand program rendered by the MISSION CIRCLE of the SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH every Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Go out the ladies especially invite YOU. There is quite a number of temporary grass widowers in town now, there is Bert Glover, Jas, Jackson, John Chinneth, Al Henderson and others. Say boys are you keeping tab? Winter days will be here bye and bye—and that soon. Thadeus Summitt, one of the bright and promising young men of our city passed the civil service examination for clerk and has received an appointment in the Wichita post-office. Thaddeus has the record of being the first colored pupil to graduate from the high school here, and in the civil service examination out of a class of 15 he got the Second highest mark. That's what we like to see. Mrs. C. J. Bryant has moved on Main St. PAPA HARPER. Ja. L. Harper was handing out cigars right and left Thursday, the cause was that a young Miss Harper, weight about nine pounds, made her appearance at the Harper home on that date. Jim is certainly tickeleed, for he has already said: "She's the finest in the land," and he's right. Mother and daughter are both doing well. THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 1901 HE'S ALRIGHT Edward Hathmon is the name of the colored gentleman of this city who is general foreman of all repairs for the Wichita Street Railway Co. Mr. Hathmon is an expert at track repairs. He has at times as many as from 20 to 40 men under his direct supervision. His workmen are not all colored men, because he does not draw the colorline when employing his men. The very intricate track switches at Main and Douglas was bone under his foremanship and all agree that this piece of work is the work of an expert. Mr. Hathmon recently married one of Wichita's most accomplished and leading young ladies. He is alright. John T. Chinneth, Worshipful Master of Arkansas Valley lodge No.21, returned Friday morning from Lawrence, where he most ably represented his lodge at the session of the Prince Hall Grand lodge jurisdiction of Kansas. He reports that this session was the grandest ever held and that the numerical, financial, moral and social status of the Order in this state was never better. The membership of she colored masonic lodges of Kansas is more than 1,400 in good standing. The financial reports show that over $1,500 was collected in the Grand lodge treasury with a balance on hand of a little more taan $1,000.00. In the Widow and Orphan department the reports show that over $1,200 was collected with a balance on hand of more taan $900, which shows that masonry among the colored people of Kansas is keeping pace with the progress and sign of the time. All of the craft will be pleased to know that at the session just closed not a greavance of any kind was reported which shows that the lodges are all working in peace and harmony. Wichita received many flattering recognitions through her accredited representative. The next place of meeting will be Kansas City, Kan. THEY ARE FINISH. "A good choir is half the services" are the remarks that we often hear. The choir of the A. M. E. church is an excellent one. Under the directorship of that prince of singers, Mr. Wm. Jones, this choir has reached a high stage of perfection. To hear them sing one is satisfied with the grand musical and singing talents of the colored people and especially the members of this choir. Since Mr. Jones has taken the directorship of the choir they have supplied themselves with new song books with the latest and most up-to-date selections, and they sing each song as though it was written especially for them. Arkansas Valley lodge No. 21, A. F. & A. M. will have a special meeting next Tuesday night. Some very, very important business will be attended. All brothers are requested to take due notice and govern themselves accordingly. The ladies will initiate a Tabernacle lodge at the Odd Fellow's Hall Next Thursday. Mrs. Lizzie Milton, of Leavenworth, will be present to set the lodge up. There are about 25 ladies in the club and the lodge will be a strong one. MRS.

The Crawford Grand Opera House of this city under the management of Mr. E. L. Manting has attained the high standing which cammends itself to all the lovers of good plays. Last season the plays which were presented were of a high and cultured nature and already Mr. Manting has booked some of the best and highest gardens of plays for Wichita that will be on the road during the coming season, and he promises to outdo his most spelledid booking of last year. A BRAVE SHERIFF. Sheriff North, of St Clair county, has done more for the good repute of his state than any other Alabama we have heard of for some time. He had in charge a Negro who had not only been accused, but tried and convicted, of "the usual crime." The usual crime is capital in Alabama. There was no reason to doubt that the sentence would be dully executed and the wretch hanged according to law within less than a month. But that did not suit the crowd. They preferred, that instead of being put to death solemnly and exemplarily, he should be butchered to make a rustic holiday. But they reckoned without their host. The sheriff was a brave and honest man who meant to do the duty he had been appointed and sworn to do, and to deal with his prisoner according to law. Knowing the temper of the more rowdyish among his neigebors, he took his precautions and inlisted his posse with good judgment, of men brave like himself and equally determined to do their duty. The result was that the lynching mob was repulsed with the loss of two lives which the owners had forfeited by undertaking to take the law in their own hands. It is one thing to string up and burn a helpless Negro and quite another to face a sheriff's pistol with the assurance that he will use it. Lynching parties will not be popular amusements in St. Clair county while Mr North remains Sheriff of the same. In spite of the lawless element in it, he has given it a name for abiding the law, and for which all its respectible cisizens ought to be very much obliged to him.—N. Y. Times READ THE SEARCHLIGHT.

Main St. THE YOUNG MAN'S CHANCES. J. Sterling Morton's Conservative for August 15 has an interesting symposium in reply to the question, "What are the young man's chances?" The conclusion of the contributors, in which the editor joins, is that "a young man's opportunities in the business world were never more numeous, attractive or conspicuous. The Conservative, however, warns young men against the false notion that success can be attained without hard work, and especially does it warn them against speculation, in which where few succeed thousands fail. The successes are blazoned to the world, the failures are seldom heard of: they are the wrecks that strew the wayside to which small heed is paid in the fierce competition of life. It is dovbtless true that the combinations in the industrial world hav brotght msny changes and wrought hardships in many cases, but it is also the fact that nearly all the captains of industry are what are called self-made men- FASHION THE PEERLE 508 East Doug THE PEERLESS TAILOR 508 East Douglas Avenue.

Main St. men who have won by their own efforts and merits. So the conservative predicts that the successful man of the future will be he who has brains to begin with, and who works honestly industriously and intelligently. If Mr. Morton had been so minded he might have illustrated how the possession of these qualities win success for young men by citing the example of his own sons who have won note worthy positions in different fields by their capacity to "grasp the skirts of circumstances" Verily the young man's were never better than they are to-doy.

A score is kept and a prize given to the guest who has made fewest mistakes. Limitations of Liquid Alr. Liquid air cannot be profitably used to preserve meat, as it is no way an antiseptic and will not kill microbes. Moreover, it is now five times dearer than ice. It cannot be used for motor carriages or submarine boats, because when heated it is such a powerful explosive that no metal yet known could resist its shocks. The public needs to be warned against schemes for preserving meat or propelling motors by liquid air. A Loser of Legs. A young British officer at the front recently wrote home to his father from South Africa: "Dear Father—Kindly send me £50 at once; lost another leg in a stiff engagement, and am in hospital without means." The answer was: "My Dear Son—As this is the fourth leg you have lost, according to your letters, you ought to be accustomed to it by this time. Try to wabble along on any others you may have left."—Argonaut. Touch-and-Go Law It isn't against the law in Minnesota to kill a gambler if he has been cheating and will not return the money to his victim. At least a case at Granite Falls was recently decided to that effect. Dr. Wintner pulled his pistol and shot a gambler with whom he was playing cards, because the gambler had cheated and refused to pay the money on demand. A jury declared upon oath that Dr. Wintner was not guilty of murder—Chicago Journal. The Home Laundry. There is no reason why the clothes cleaned at home cannot be ironed up to the same standard of excellence that comes from sending them to the laundry. All that is necessary to attain the desired object is the purchase of a package of Defiance starch at any grocery. Use it once and you will understand why clothes ironed at the laundries have that mild, glossy appearance. All first-class laundries use Defiance starch. If there is no grocery in your neighborhood that keeps it they will send for it on request. Made by the Magnetic Starch Co., Omaha, Neb. Hagenback's Animal Stockyard Karl Hagennack, who provides the world with its animal collections, has a forty-acre stock yard near Cape Town. So completely has South Africa been denuded of the larger animals his hunters must travel largely on foot 2,000 miles into the interior before they come to the their hunting ground. On account of the skill and knowledge demanded—for among other things the hunter must understand the various native African dialects—his white labor is paid an average of $60 a week per man. Our Skill in India. The five American locomotives now in use on the Bengal Central railway in India are giving fair satisfaction. They were at first found to consume a great deal more coal than British engines, but after certain alterations had been made the fuel consumption was reduced to the English rate. These engines have been running since the summer of 1899 and last year similar locomotives were supplied to the Assam-Bengal railway, and also for the Oudh and Rohilkhund line, as well as for the Burma railway. No Pipes in Cuba. Cuba produces no tobacco for chewing or for pipe-smoking. The Cubans who smoke pipes might be counted on one's fingers without making a second round on the fingers. The cigar and the cigarette prevail. To what extent the Cuban cigarette might ever become popular with American smokers is a matter beyond determination. It is certain that most Americans of prolonged residence become, if they be smokers, addicted to Cuban brands, and find difficulty in weaning themselves back to American brands on their return. A Happy Boy Oldenburg, Ill., Sept. 2d: The doctors all failed in the case of little thirteen-year-old Willie Keil, who suffered with acute Rheumatism. For over three months the poor little fellow suffered excruciating torture. His father, who had done everything he could think of, saw a new Rheumatism Remedy advertised — Dodd's Kidney Pills. He bought some, and soon his little son showed signs of improvement. Three boxes cured him completely, and he has not a symptom of Rheumatism left. This miraculous cure of a case which had been given up by the physicians has electrified Madison County, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are a much talked of medicine. Origin of Aguinaldo's Name. A writer in one of the prominent magazines gives a very curious origin of the name of Aguinaldo, the Philippine ex-chieftain. Its source is found in the French words, "Au guil l'an neuff!" the cry used by the Druld priests in their ancient ceremonies when going out to cut the mistletoe at the New York. In popular speech this phrase was pronounced Aguilanneaut, and was carried over into the Spanish, where it makes its appearance as "Aguinaldo," a Christmas box or present given to the children at the holidays.

Miss Bessie Kellog, President of the Young Woman's Club, of Valley City, North Dakota, writes the following from First street, South, Valley City, North Dakota: "Ever since I matured I suffered with severe monthly pains. The doctor did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he prescribed from time to time did not help me. He finally suggested that I be an operation. He ordered a similar affliction through the use of Paruna, advised me to give it a trial first, and so I used it for three weeks faithfully. My pains diminished very soon and within two months I had none at all. "This is six months ago, and during that time I have not had an ache nor pain. I give highest praise to Peruna. Every woman ought to use it, and I feel sure that it would bring perfect health."—BESSIE KELLOG. The experience of Miss Bessie Kellog, of North Dakota, ought to be read by every girl in the land. It is a critical period in a woman's life when she ceasages to be a girl and becomes a woman. Very few pass through this period without some trouble. The doctor is Caution in Handling Flashes. In handling fishes it requires a certain amount of care to avoid being cut by the fins, which in some species are to some extent poisonous. The Key West fisherman has an unbounded horror of being bitten by almost any kind of fish, as he fears blood poisoning will set in, although according to those who have studied the question, there seems to be very little foundation for this fear.

Perhaps he will subject the patient to a long series of experiments with nervines and tonics. The reason he does not often make a cure is because he does not recognize the trouble. In a large majority of the cases catarrh of the female organs is the cause. Peruna relieves these cases promptly because it cures the catarrh. Peruna is not a palliative or a sedative or a new vine or a stimulant. It is a special for catarrh and cures catarrh wherever it may lurk in the system. This girl was lucky enough to find Peruna at last. As she says, the doctors did not seem to understand what the trouble was and the medicine he prescribed from time to time did not help her. Peruna hit the mark at once and she is now recommending this wonderful remedy to all the other girls in the United States. Thousands of the girls who look at her beautiful face and read her scribes testimonial, will be led to try Peruna in their times of trouble and critical periods. Peruna will not fail them. Every one of them will be glad and it is to be hoped that their enthusiasm will lead them to do as this girl did; proclaim the fact to the world so that others may read it and do likewise. Mrs. Christopher Fleihmann, Amsterdam, N. Y., writes: "I have been sick with catarrh of the stomach and pelvic organs for about five years, and had many a doctor, none could help me. Some said I would never get over it. One day when I would you almanac I saw those who had been cured by Peruna; I did, and I found relief with the first bottle I took, and after two more bottles I was as well and strong as I was before."—Mrs. Christopher Fleihmann.
