Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT THE SPIRIT OF LAWLESSNESS. VOL. III. From The Chicago Chronicle--Dem. It is laudable in a people to give strong and suitable expression to their indignation and wrath when a chief magistrate of their own choosing is stricken down by the hand of an assassin. It is natural, too, in the immediate presence of a crime so unprovoked and atrocious as that of Friday that men should be carried beyond the bounds of reason in expressing these feelings. But it is deplorable that even under such provocation great crowds of men, strangers to one another and without formal concert, should spontaneously resolve themselves into a mob of lynchers. The fact that it is only with the greatest difficulty that officers of the law and armed guards can protect a prisoner—even such a miscreant as the fellow who shot the president—from the fury of a crowd acting without concert is indicative of a diseased state of public sentiment. The spirit that prompts to spon tumeope lynching and makes it possible is not so very far removed from anarchy itself. It implies a lack of respect for law and properly constituted authority—a profound distrust of the adequacy of the established provisions for dealing with crime. It involves an assumption widespread in the community, of the right of organized mobs to override law and to prescribe and execute penalties on the spur and in the passion of the moment. This spirit is very different from that commendable indignation and its tendency is to raise up political assassins instead of terrorizing and destroying them. The assassin observing and sharing in the widespread disposition to substitute the will of an angry mob for laws deliberately framed and executed in orderly manner by duly constituted authority, reasons that he is as much justified in acting on deliberation as any mob can be in acting in heat and fury. Punish such dastardly assassins by all means, and to the extreme limit but do so under the solemn forms and sanctions of the law and not in a way to raise up more assassins by giving them the moral encouragement of great crowds in their lawlessness—their anarchy Those newspapers and politicians and even clergymen who apol ogize for or even fail to condemn the lynching of men, black or white, for any crime whatever are largely responsible for the development of this lawless spirit. They may be actuated originally by good impulses, but their open or tacit approval of lynch law tends powerfully to break down all popular respect for law and order and just authority. It begets and fosters a feeling that everybody has a right to redress his own wrongs, or fancied wrongs, in his own way, and thus encohrages the commission of just such horrible crimes as that which was attempted in Buffalo last Friday. It is the duty of every good citizen to express his abhorance of the now prevalent mode of lawlessness strongly, but without heat, when ever he hears it accoveted or defended. We must, individually, and through the organs of opinion, frown down this anarchistic spirit where ever it appears and uphold the law in all its sanctions and muniments on all proper occasions or we shall have cause to regret our indifference and unfaithfulness. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Sept. 3. Tho hundred Negroes and whites engaged in a riot at a merry-go-round st Columbia avenue and Nineteenth street to-night. Henry Mills, white, living on lawrence, street, was fatally shot near the heart by Henry Miller [colored] and Wallace Picket of 1413 Martindale avenue was shot in the back of the head. He may recover althou h the bullet has not yet been extracted. The trouble started in the crowd around the merry-go-round, when John Noel, manager, attempted to put Negro children off. HenBush, a Negro, started after Noel and was pursued by a crowd of whites. He escaped after being chased several squares. During the chase Mills was shot by Miller, who says he shot in self-defense when pressed by a crowd of white men. The whites were, in part, members of the "Bungaloo" gang which has been having trouble with the Negroes at Fairview park. Two serious affrays have occured between them and an encounter prevented Shnday nigh by a large force of police WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 1901. THE ASSASSIN the utterances of such fire spitters—hell-raisers, and "nigger" haters as Ben Tillman and his like, they fail to read the fiery words of Emma Goldman and her diplies. In their eagerness to "crush the Negro they fail to learn of the plots of the anarchists to crush their government. In their eagerness to "lynch and burn" the Negro—they fail to see the red-cross skull and bone of the anarchist—meaning death to the American Republic. Yet through all these there is no part of the American people who so deeply regret this sad occurrence—cowardly and dartardly act—than is every Negro in America. There is none who are more loyal to "Old Glory" to-dayy and has always been-than is the Negro. Though his has been an unpleasant and hard task, yet he is and always will be loyal. When the assassin of President McKinley had fired his first shot-it was a Negro, John Parker, if you please, who first knocked him down with his brawny fist-it was a Negro-yes it was the much despised Negro-who prevented the assassin from firing the third shot which would certainly have ended the life of our Chief. A Negro—yes the muoh hated Negro—risked his own life—and saved the life of the president of this great republic—by wrestling and wrenching the deadly weapon from the hand of this would-be and possibly successful assassin. Yet the Negro must be banished, he must be ostricised-he must not be allowed his manhood freedom. Do what you may-say what you will—when the test comes the Negro will take his part in the greatest drama of our country and acquited himself as a man—and an American. Ben Tillman was rideing on a train to Spartanburg, S. C., where he was to deliver one of his usual politicab harrangues. Before reaching his destination a cinder from the smoke smoke stack blew in his good eye and the chances are that that he will loose his only good optic. When we joined the church we promised not to say anything against anyone unless we said it in our prayer. Now, O, Lord hear our prayer concerning Ben Tillman. Let thy will be done for Thou, O, Lord, worketh in mysterious ways, woneers to perform. If it is Thy will that Tillman shall be toaally blind, we say so mote it be; If it is Thy will that his tongue should become paralyzed, we exclaim A-MEN! For, O, Lord, You know Continued on third page. NO.16 BIG EMANCIPATION DAY CELEBRATION The Biggest, Grandest and Most Elaborate Ever Given.

ON Next Tuesday Sept. 17th, the people of Wichita will have an opportunity to vote on the bond question. They will have a chance to say whether they want to see our city progress or regress. To vote for the bonds means to vote for a contjauation of our present prosperity. There is no one who has the interest of our city at heart who desires to see her go backward. Then with one loud and resounding shout let every ane, colored and white, poor and rich, vote for the bonds on Tuesday Sept. 17th, 1901. We have got a lots to say to our colored brethren when the time comes; we are on the look-out, and will let the cat out of the water at the proper time, which will put you to thiuking. "PURITY in politics is an irridescent dream."—Jno. J. Ingalls. For this assertion the people of Kansas turned Ingalls—down. But if the truth is truth is said, was he not right? The colored people of WICHITA must learn to "lay dead" and "saw wood." "One man can leads a horse to water, but thousands can not make him drink." Remember the words of good old Abe Lincoln: "You can fool all the people some time; some of the people all the time; but you can not fool all the people all the time." The idea is not to talk so much about the things not right, but the thing to do is to right them when the time comes, so keep quiet, keep your clothes on, its too early to undress One good hustling, get-up-and-go, practicle young man is worth a thousand top-heavy-Latin and Greek scholars. (?] Peter H. Gerdon, a waiter in the the Manongahela House, Pittsburg, has retired at 81 with a fortune of $100,000 which he earned in tips. "They have ranged" he says in a little interview "from 10 cents to $50." They have all been saved. In sixty years work, interest and accumulation have rolled up a sum which has probably played its share in enabling him to take life easy for the rest of his days. Locals and Personals.

THE WICHTTA SEARCHLIGHT, SATURDAY SEP TEMBER 14, 1901 Never has there been a larger and more pleasant crowd at any place than was at the Second Baptist church Wednesday night to attend the grand entertainment given by the Santa Fe route Club under the auspices of Mrs. S. E. Patton, Conductress. The spacious chnrch was crowded. The Wichita Colored Band, under the dsrectorship of Prof. W. C. Mallory, gave a concert which was one of the grandest ever witnessed. We must here give the boys a compliment for thier good playing and say to them, keep on, keep on. A nice literary program was rendered in connection with the great Band Concert.

They see the prize and yet they never reach the goal. Many a young man starts out to secure for himself a collegiate education, but when he gets to a position where he can look up the mountain side at literature, the mathematics and sciences, rising before him in his pathway, he takes the path down the valley. Some of our young men start out in life with the determination to make for themselves a name in some special field of original investigation, but obsticles confront them and they turn away. The young man starting out in business probably hasn't all the money he wants at his disposal, and so he goes back into the haunts of dissipation to waste his life away. A main reason why so many of our young men hove failures lies in the fact that they haven't self confidence. We are too apt to doubt our possibilities. When we spy out the land we look through a magnyfying glass and behold men look like the giants of Anak. We see before us a few cloudy days and we prea terrible flood. We see that the land is covered with woods and the fields are filled with lions and tigers. In our fight we forget that we may have axes to fell trees, guns to shoot the beasts and plows to break the ground. There are but few impossibilities for man, and we claim that we are men. Suppose obsticles do arise. Overcome them. Hannibal when told of the impassible Alps, cried out, "there shall be no Alps!" Newton said he could move the world if he only had a lever long enough and a place to stand. The Apostle Paul said he could 'do all things' through the power of his Master. The general cry needs to go abroad through the land for our young men to arouse themselves. They are to be the pillars of the coming generation. What though we have no magnificient mansions? Mannious Curious was born in a cottage. What though our church houses are unindebted to the quarry? The pattern of humility was born in a manger. Let us learn to do and dare. The French scientist has discovered the "fatigue bacillus"—a germ which causes people to experience that tired feeling. The speeches of Ben Tillman must literally swarm with these germs.

The country is becoming agitated over the statement that religion is losing its power and the institutions until the agitation runs its course, and still religion flourishes. It is only useless things that deteriorate. The finest things are the best.

Big Rapid Transit Tunnel One-fourth of the excavation of New York's rapid transit tunnel was completed recently. Thus far $7,319,000 has been paid out on the $35,000,000 contract.

Before the shell of the coconant becomes thick and hard and while the meat is soft and about the consistency of clabber, many of the nuts are gathered and sold upon the street corners of South American cities and in the drink shops. The nuts are cut open with a machete. The milk proves a most refreshing drink, while the meat is eaten with a spoon, or more often with a silver cut from the shell. Great Britain's Population. Great Britain and Ireland, according to the compiled census returns, has a population of about 42,000,000. The exact figures are: England, 30,805,465; Wales, 1,720,609; Scotland, 4,471,957; Ireland, 4,456,546; the Isle of Man, 54-758; and the Channel Islands, 95,841, making a total of 41,605,177. To this is added an estimate of 400,000 for the men in the army, navy and merchant service abroad and for the troops serving in South Africa. No Fashion; Many Styles. As if to prove conclusively the infinite number of ways in which a comparatively simple thing may be done, note the various fashions in which men hold their cigars in their mouths. Every man seems to work out his own way of smoking a cigar, evolving it slowly from the first time, when he placed it carefully in the middle of his mouth and blew the smoke out as if he were whistling. There is no accepted conventional standard; no fashion, but many styles.—New York Post. Consolation and Comfort- Who is it that does not wish to be out in the open air or alive in some field of sport, whether it be with the bat, rod or gun; whether we go coasting over the hills and vales on the wheel or sailing over rough waves or into serene coves, it is all sport, and the springing muscles seem to need it. It is bound to happen that some mishap will occur. Thus it is that we have sprains in abundance. Light sprains, sprains that cripple, sprains that give great pain, sprains that rob us of sleep, but sportsmen of all kinds have come to know that there is nothing better than the old reliable St. Jacob's Oll. Have it with you for use; you may rely on its cure of the worst sprain and restoration to the comforts of life. Buy your Teas and Coffee from us.

Dan Godfrey, the famous British band-leader, has recently obtained damages for libel from a publisher and a woman author for putting him into a novel, also an injunction against the further publication of the book. Date of Shakespeare's Birth Considerable uncertainty prevail' regarding the date of Shakespeare's birth. Tradition points to April 23, old style, corresponding to our May 5th, as the date. This is in accord with the statement made by the late Sir Walter Besant in his magazine article. Kind to the Negroes. R. B. Weddington, a Union county, North Carolina, farmer who died recently, lived in the kindiest relations with the negroes, and in his will he gave three tracts of land to three of his faithful colored servants, leaving money to others. The remainder of his estate, amounting to 1,660 acres, be bequeathed to the Methodist church, A Curious Deeq. A curious deed is on file in Northumberland county, Pennsylvania, according to the Sunbury Republican. It bears date of October 9, 1793. In a series of wherecases it traces the ownership of the land conveyed from the Creator of the earth, who "by parole and livery of seizin did enfeoff the parents of mankind, to-wit, Adam and Eve, of all that certain tract of land called and known in the planetary system as the earth," down through the ages to the maker of the deed. Easy Come. Easy Go. The man who creeps along bent over, with his spinal column feeling in a condition to snap like a pipestem at any minute, would readily give a great deal to get out of his dilemma, and yet this is only the commonest form by which lumbago seizes on and twists out of shape the muscles of the back. This is commonly known as backache, a crick in the back, but by whatever name it may be known, and however bad it may be, 10 minutes vigorous rubbing with St. Jacob's Oil on the afflicted part will drive out the trouble and completely restore. It is a thing so easily caught, it may be wondered at why there is not more of it, but because it is so easily cured by St. Jacob's Oil may be the very reason that we hear so little of it. Gain of Some Cities. In the ten years between 1830 and 1900, Passaic, N. J., gained 113 per cent in population; Butte, Mont., 184; Superior, Wis., 160; Newcastle, Pa., 185; Seattle, Wash., 88; Waterbury, Conn., 60; St. Joseph, Mo., 96; East St. Louis, Ill.; 95; Jacksonville, Fla., 55, and South Omaha, Neb., 222 per cent. The Imitation "Renben." The imitation "Reuben," clad in a linen duster and carrying a carpetbag, no longer fools the people in New York streets. Time was when such a man, if he had a guileless expression, and concealed his advertising dodge long enough, could collect a crowd anywhere; nowadays, people who are much in the streets have become too "wise."—New York Press. Ornamental Designing: The trades in which the ornamental designer is chiefly employed are the various branches of the textile industry, as the manufacture of cotton prints, carpets, curtain materials, dress goods, etc., and also wall paper and oil-cloth. The salary of a designer of course varies according to his capabilities, but one with artistic taste and originality is always well paid. Couldn't Wear Shoes Sumpter, Ill., Sept. 9th.-Mrs. J. B. Flanigan, of this place, had suffered with dropsy for fifteen years. She was so very bad that for the last three years she has not been able to wear her shoes. She had doctored all the time, but was gradually getting worse. Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was very much discouraged, called for some medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to have his wife try Dodd's kidney Pills, and he bought six boxes. His wife used five out of the six, before she was entirely cured. He is now as sound and well as ever she was, completely restored to health, and free from any symptom whatever of dropsy. To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased at her wonderful deliverance does not half express her feelings, and she and Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr. Dale for recommending this wonderful remedy to them. The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe case of dropsy, after the doctors had given her up, has made them the most talked of remedy ever known in White county. This would be a much better world if people would live up to their obituary notices. How Clothes Are Blistered Many of the starches now being used in washable fabrics contain ingredients that break and blister the goods so that after a few washings they are of little service. Defiance starch (made in Nebraska) is manufactured with a special view to obviating the difficulty.

DRUG AND CHEMICAL CORPORATION, Solebury, Boston, U.S.A. BISHOP GRANT, OF INDIANAPOLIS. Bishop A. Grant of Indianapolis, Ind., writes the following letter: 3349 N. Pennsylvania Street. | Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—I have been using Peruna for catarrh and can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone who wants a good medicine."—A. Grant. Prominent members of the clergy are giving Peruna their unqualified endorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers, and general catarrhal debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the curative virtues of Peruna is the above one from Bishop Grant. Writes His Recommendation for the Famous Catarrh Remedy, Pe-ru-na. The day was when men of provenance hesitated to give their testimonials to proprietary medicines for publication. This remains true today, most proprietary medicines. But a runa has become so justly merits, are known to so many people high and low station that none has tates to see his name in print recommending Peruna. The following letters from past who use Peruna speak for themselves. Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Pribyterian Church, of Greensboro, G. writes: "My little boy had been suffering in some time with catarrh of the low bowels. Other remedies had failed, after taking two bottles of Peruna troublealmost entirely disappeared. This special malady I disappeared it nigh a specific."—Rev. E. G. Smith. Rev. A. S. Vaughn. Eureka Spring Ark., says "I had been prostrated and congestive chalks and was almost dead as soon as able to be about. I commenced the use of Peruna. I took the bottles; my strength returned rapid and I am now enjoying my use health."—Rev. A. S. Vaughn.
