Emancipation Day The emancipation celebration in Wichita this year was one of the grandest of the grand. Every thing went off like clock work. Not a hitch or bobble in any of the proceedings. At 9:30 the band made a grand wagon parade taking in all the principal streets, and at 12:30 they marched from the city building to the park, where the celebration took place. At the park the day was, spent in speech making, bicycle races, foot races, potato races, and lots of pleasant greetings. The program was a little late in beginning but at 3'oclock it began and opened with a very fervent prayer by Rev. H. V. Plummer, pastor of the Second Baptist church. Mr. Richard Walker then read the original proclamation as issued by President Lincoln. Next came a grand and masterly address by Capt. Fishback. Capt. Fishback's address follows:- Capt. Fishback was born in Kentucky and knowing the characteristics of the Afro-American race, he went back to the dark days of slavery and pictured them in their trials and struggles in a most eloquent and pathetic manner. The old log cabin—the slave block—on which husband, wife and child were sold apart from each other by the slave dealer. He weaved laurels an crowned our martyred Lincoln as the Moses who lead them out of the Wilderness of slavery and placed them on the higher planes of life as free American citizens to run the race of life—impressing all—and especially the young men and women—with the thought that civilization made good citizenship and pleaded with them to study politeness to both black and white and above all, begin in youth to build character the foundation of good citizenship. As the Capt. contrasted the log cabin and the palatial mansion, he became eloquent and pathetic in his description of the wonderful and unprecidented progress the race had made since the cloud of slave-dom had parted and let the sunshine of freedom and hope in their stead. "Yes," he said, "no nation under the broad canopy of heaven has ever made such progress in learning, culture and refinement. Following Capt. Fishback was an eloquent address by Rev. H. V. Plummer. Rev, Plummer made an address that will be long remembered by all who heard it, and it will go down in the history of the occasion as one of the grandest ever heard. He dealt with the all-absorbing race problem, as few aside from him can, he dealt with it in all of its phases. He pointed out to the young Negro of to-day, the royal road to progress and success.

Main be dropped from the program and hopes that the solution of the problem will prove beneficial and satisfactorily to all. We wish to thank Mr. Dold for his generosity and liberality; and say to our colored friends and brothers that in Mr. Fred D. Dold we have a friend of whom we should all be proud and appreciate his tendencies to give employment to many of our people. We need more Fred D. Dolds, men who stand above the colored line and men who stoops to look at the color of a man's skin whom he may desire to employ, but only asks for men who are willing to work. Long may he live and long may he prosper. We take pleasure in calling your attention to the generosity of Schollenberger Bros., who so kindly donated a bicycle lamp—To Greenfield Bros., who so kindly donated a Fedora hat; to the Jones Tea and Coffee Co. who so kindly donated a cream pitcher. By their acts these gentlemen proves that they appreciate the splendid patronage which the colored people give them all during the year. We invite you to Mr. S. B. Kernan and Tapp Bros., & Hanshaw who so kindly assisted in the prizes of the day, and say to you remember them for they are our friends. At night the celebration was continued at Peerless hall. A nice literary program was rendered. First on program was an oration by Mr. Richard Walker, subject, "The Secret of Success." Mr. Walker is one of our most brilliant young men and has a bright future before him, and is destined to some day loom forth as a beacon light to indeed, guide the future young man to the true secret of success. Next on program was a paper by Mrs Lucy Auderson, subject, "Are We Free?" Her paper was worth the attention of all those who delight in a well prepared and well read paper=she is indeed, one of our NO.18 literary lights. Next came that prince of baratone and bass singers, Mr. J. Edgerton. Mr. Edgerton has equal on the local stage as a singer of baritone and bass. He stands out boldly in the local arena of singers as a prince of singers, of his chosen bass and baratone, without a peer or an equal. For musical and true bassical and baritone production as nature herself would have it, he has no equal. Next came Mr. A. O. Smith, of New Orleans, La., subject, "Parks the equal of Attucks." Mr. Smith is a stranger on the platform of speakers in our community but by the manner in which he handled the subject before him, he proved very conclusively that he was no stranger in speaking. He delivered an elocquent address and was applauded again and again. Last, but not least was a vocal solo by the Queen of Songsters, Mrs. S. E. Patton. Mrs. Patton has established a reputation as a singer which is as broad as the west; she is indeed a wonder. At this juncture, W. N. Miller, as chairman of the arrangement committee presented the various prizes which had been so kindly donated by the good merchants, and which were won by the respective contestants. In all the celebration was a success, and above all it was highly entertaining. SANTA FE ROUTE CLUB The Santa Fe Route Club, of which Mrs. Stella Patton is the conductress, will give a Grand Program at the Second Baptist church on Sunday Sept. 29. They invite the pastors of all the churches to be present and take part in their program. Mrs. Patton will please the audience with a few of her choicest selection; besides, there will be other interesting numbers on the program. Go Out Sunday. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

Just think, three dastardly assaults in less than a year. Two on young girls by elderly men, and one on a lone woman, and yet judge Lynch has failed to hold court. The inhuman judge must certainly be on a fishing trip or taking a vacation. But it is explained when you know that all the parties were white. Senator Wellington upon being informed of the shooting of President McKinley said: "McKinley and I are enemies; I have no regrets to make." By this remark Wellington has made the whole American people his enemy, and they will do their part in placing him in private life. Such remarks are unexcusable and out of place for a U. S. Senator. It is ticklish to think how little blood-hounds really know what some people want—one thing sure—they are impartail—they have no respect of persons—they are true. Some of the "City Hotel" kitchen eaters are growling—better lay ow boys and patronize your race eating houses where you can eat in the dinning room—and not be the guest and companion of flies, pots and pans. The Wichita Street Fair opens Monday Sept. 30th. This will be the greatest Fair in the history of Wichita's festivities. Great crowds are expected, and Wichita will take on her gayest attire, to welcome the thousands who will come to witness the grand Fair. DID WELL. Chief of Police, Frank S. Burt, is not by any means forgetting the colored men in the appointment of special policemen for Carnival week He is giving them quite a substantial recognition for the week. We publish below a list of the colored men who will be sworn in and draw pay from the city that week:- Henry Buford, Sam Isler, Jas Jackson, S. W. Lea, John McCollough, and Syl Anderson. This is nice; and on the part of the colored people we thank Chief Burt for this recognition which is a little more than one-sixth of the entire list of men appointed. Tis done well, all good men. J. W. Thompson, one of our Wichita boys, but who is now in Danville, Ill., is a true blue race boy. He is true as steel. Aside from sending us several new subscribers, he sends his money to us just as regular as clock work. The race needs more J. W. Thompsons. Long may he prosper. R. J. Johnston, sr., has purchased a team of horses and a spanking brand-new wagon and new harness. They look nice. We'd like for R. J., sr., to tell us now what's up? Mrs. Abe Alexander is able to be up again, after several weeks of severe sickness. During her sickness Mr. Alexander sent to Joplin and had his Mother-in-law, Mrs. Lottie Murray, come up to take care of her. Mrs. Murray returned home Monday. During the conference year just closed, Rev. A. C. Terrell, pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church, of this city paid $540.00 on the main debt of the church; besides paying the interest on the remainder till Jan. 1st, 1902, and paid every cent of the floating debt. This is good work. Prof. W. C. Mallory, leader of the colored band, accepted a position with the Missouri Pacific Railroad as porter and began hjs duties in that capacity Wednesday. We extend our best wishes to Prot. Mallory in his new avocation and wish him success. LOST A Fine ladies handkerchief at the the A. M. E. church Sunday. It has lace trimming all around the edges.

THE FINAL. Half mast the flag! Again the nation weeps; Deep in the hearts of loyal men, A flood of anguish creeps.

Lewis met with a fatal accident while swinging from the rear end of a "flying switch" in the Rock-Island yards Wednesday afternoon about 3 o'clock. It seems that a "flying switch" was being made and Ernest caught the fast moving cars when suddenly the cars struck the flags of the switch with such a terrible and abrupt force that it jarred the boy loose from his hold, and he fell on his back before the fast moving cars. The cars passed over him, cutting off both legs, one below the knee and the other near the stomach. He was taken to the Wichita Hospital, where he died at 10 o'clock Wednesday night, 6 hours after the accident occurred. His funeral took place Friday afternoon from the New Hope Baptist church. Ernest was born in Wichita, Nov. 7th 1889 and was 11 years, 10 months and 18 days old at the time of the sad accident and his death. We extend to the bereaved family our sympathias in this their hour of sorrow. MRS. LEE ANDERSON HAIR DRESSER— and MASSAGE PARLOR. 442 N. TOPEKA AVE. Dr. Claude G.

THE SONG SERVICES. It is a source of great pleasure for one to attend the Song Services at the A. M. E. church. Under the presidency of Mrs. Jno. W. Hall the meetings are most enjoyable. There you see and meet the young cultured Wichitans: there you hear the sweet melodious strains as they are rendered by the most excellent junior choir. And right here we wish to pass a compliment on the members of the junior choir and say that they are alright. The song services are enlivening and should be attended by all. THE MASKED CARNIVAL.

The largest cheese in the world was in the Pan-American exhibition. It weighs 1,160 pounds, is 26 inches high 36 inches in diameter and was made out of 5,500 quarts of milk. Milking in Customer's Presence. the selling of alleged adulterated milk became at one time so common a practice in parts of Belgium that some conscientious dairymen adopted the habit of driving their cows to the door and by milking them in the customer's presence put the purity of the article beyond question. Preacher's Inadvertent Roast. A country clergyman whose custom it was to read his sermons, one Sunday morning forgot his manuscript. He determined to take his congregation into his confidence and he accordingly announced: "My friends, this morning I have come without my sermon. So you must take what the Lord gives me. But tonight I will come better prepared." Meals from His Own People. An English "Tommy," captured by Gen. De Wet, complained of the food, which consisted chiefly of mealies. De Wet told him he had nothing better. "But," said the Boer leader, "I'll capture a convoy in a few days and then you shall have better food." De Wet did capture a convoy, and the complaining "Tommy" received full rations, according to promise. A clever butcher can always make ends meat.

He formerly worked at mining in the neighborhood of St. Louis; and in 1884 he was promoted to the position of manager of a fuel company. He is popular with the miners of the state. The Best They Can Do. The French cannot "kick" a man. The best they can do is to give him "a hit with the foot." A Portuguese cannot "wink" at a girl. He must lengthen it out into "closing and opening of the eyes." Most of the Indian languages are stated to have no word to express the idea of "stealing," and one of the early missionaries who translated the Bible into the Algonquin speech, finding they have no word to express "love," was forced to invent one. A DISTINGUISHED MISSIONARY Washington, Ind., Sept. 23d.—There is at present, living at 106 East lath street in this city, a most remarkable man. He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he came to Washington from Little York, Ind., a short time ago. Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a missionary among the Indians of the West. The great exposure and the drinking of so much bad water brought on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he was struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hopeless Dodd's Kidney Pills were recommended, and as a last resort he tried them. He was completely, cured, and restored to good health and his case and its cure has caused a sensation among the physicians. Bright Woman Wins Prize.

Jury Gave Verdict With No Delay. TO BE SENTENCED TO-DAY. Buffa'o, N. Y., Sept. 26.—Leon F. Czolgosz, alias Fred Nieman, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury. The trial of the assassin consumed eight hours and twenty-six minutes and covered a period of only two days. Practically most of this time was occupied by the prosecution in presenting a case so clear, so conclusive, that even had the prisoner entered the plea of insanity it is doubtful if the jury would have returned a verdict different from the one rendered. The announcement made by the attorneys for Czolgosz, that the eminent alienists summoned by the Erie county bar association and by the district attorney to try Czolgosz and to determine his exact mental condition, had declared him to be perfectly sane, destroying the only stage of a defense that Judges Lewis and Titus could have put together. The prisoner was taken at once through the tunnel under Delaware avenue back to the jail. To all appearances he was in no way affected by the result of the trial. The crowd gathered at the city hall was the largest that has seen him since his arraignment. There was no demonstration except that of curiosity. A large number of women witnessed the proceedings. Applications for seats had been made by several representatives of anarchist papers, but they had been refused. While the jury was out there was no disposition to crowd about the prisoner, although the object of everyone seemed to be to get in a position to command a full view of his face. After the roll call of the jury they were asked if they had agreed upon a verdict. Without sitting down their verdict was announced to be that the defendant is guilty of murder in the first degree. The Oklahoma Anarchist. Guthrie, Sept. 23.—Geo. Bradshaw, the Oklohoma City anarchist, after he was duly mobbed, was taken to the Logan county jail in Guthrie. He declared that he was an anarchist and that Oklahoma City was made up of hoodlums. It is believed in police circles that Bradshaw was in the conspiracy to assassinate the president. The officer claims that Bradshaw's actions for two weeks past substantiate the theory that he knew before the crime was committed that McKinley would be assassinated. No More Intervlews. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 24.—Senator Hanna upon being asked how he regarded the policy of President Roosevelt said: "I am done with being interviewed for all time." "Have you decided not to again publicly express your opinion?" was asked. "No more," was the brief answer. The senator is broken hearted by the tragedy at Buffalo and his face shows how deep grief has left its mark. In Cleveland Public Schools Cleveland, O., Sept. 26.—The Cleveland public school council voted to include the Lord's prayer, the Ten Commandments and the Twenty-third psalm in the course of study now taught. "We ought to be improving the moral as well as the mental capacities of the children," said Mr. Hobart, a member of the board. Decreased Eastern Shipments. Chicago, Sept. 23.—Eastbound grain shipments from Chicago last week were the lightest of the season amounting to 900,000 bushels, a decrease of 41,000 bushels from the previous week and a loss of 233,000 bushels from last year. Shipments of flour were 78,771 barrels, a decrease of 20,042 from the previous week and an increase of 27,145 barrels over last year. Provision shipments amounted to 31,524 tons, a decrease of 203 tons for the week and an increase of 8,563 tons over last year. Illegal Garnishments Topeka, Sept. 21.—Justices of the peace over the state are ignoring a law which requires garnishment proceedings to be brought in the county in which the debtor lives. As long as no one raises the point, the justices go ahead filing suits against parties living in other counties in which the suit is filed on the persons in whose hands the money is gernished. The act passed by the last legislature applies especially to railroad men, as they cannot be garnished in one town if they live in another. Wheat Lands Pay 20 Per Cent. Wellington, Kans., Sept. 26.—As an illustration of what there is to be made on investments in wheat lands in Summer county, just one case is cited, that of Sol Belsley. He has $31,000 invested in lands here. His profit this year was $6,232, or a trifle over 20 per cent. He owns a farm in Illinois which he can sell any day for $40,000 cash. The Illinois farm this year netted him $1,400, or $1 3/4 per cent. His Kansas lands have netted him an average of 15 per cent ever since he first acquired them. CONGRESS PAYS EXPENSES As Was Done in the Case of President Garfield. Washington, Sept. 25.—In the case of President Garfield congress appropriated in all $75,000 for doctors and funeral expenses. Of this amount $35,500 was for the payment of the physicians and $22,000 for the funeral expenses. The total expenses in the case of President McKinley will probably be fully as great, for although the bills of the physicians will not be so large as they were in the case of Garfield, who lingered for more than two months after he was shot, the expenses of the funeral are expected to be larger. The principal item, as in the case of the Garfield funeral, will be for railway transportation. This will include the special train which brought the funeral party from Buffalo to Washington, the special train of three sections which caried the party to Canton, and the special train of five sections back to Washington. Congress not only paid President Garfield's funeral expenses, but also made liberal provisions for Mrs. Garfield. She was paid her husband's salary for the remainder of the year, was given a pension of $3,000 per year for the remainder of her life, and was given the franking privilege, by which she can use the mails without the payment of postage. Mrs. McKinley will certainly be treated with equal liberality. Stanley Congratulates. Wellington, Ks., Sept. 26.—Governor Stanley in his coronation speech, before crowning the queen of the jubilee, congratulated the people of Sumner county upon their bountiful wheat crop this year. He remarked about the prosperous condition of the people. He said that the big wheat crop was not the crop that the citizens of Sumner county should be proudest of. "Your finest crop," he said, "is your crop of good citizens; your Christian fathers and mothers and children. They are the salt of the earth. No county in the world has a more splendid citizenship." He then spoke of the sod houses and dugouts that used to dot the hills and valleys. "They are all gone now," said he, "and in their places have risen fine frame and brick homes that would grace any larger city." Second City in Norwao Burned. Christiana, Sept. 26. -A large section of Bergen is burned. Two firemen were killed. The damage done amounts to several million kroner. Bergen is the second city of Norway and the principal seaport of the country. The town is the capital of the Norwegian province of its name, and is situated about 180 miles northwest of Christiana. The population has increased very rapidly during the last thirty-five years and is now over 60,000. A Million for a Church Chicago, Sept. 26. — George W. Bowman, a wealthy mine owner, has agreed to give to the People's Church of America $1,000,000 of the earnings of his mines to further the work of the church. It is said that "other millions" will be "forthcoming if needed." The statement was made by Dr. Hiram W. Thomas, founder and head of the People's church. Churches will sometime be opened in every city and a school is planned. For the First Time London, Sept. 21.—The admiralty has ordered that the American flag be hoisted at half masts all over the war vessels in port and that the union jack and the White Ensign be half masted until after the funeral. This is the first occasion when such an order has been issued for the president of a republic. Dodge City a Division Point. Dodge City, Kan., Sept. 23.—Division Superintendent G. E. Ayer and Trainmaster R. D. Fowler, of the Santa Fe railway, arrived from La Junta to confer with our citizens regarding houses for twenty-five of their employees. Citizens have agreed to build a number of living houses, and ample living quarters will be provided for every one connected with the transfer, which will include the division superintendent, trainmasters, dispatchers, employees, etc. Coal Will Not Advance Kansas City, Sept. 24.—At the Kansas City offices of Southern Kansas coal mining, those supplying one-half the soft coal this city uses, it is announced that all talk of strike on the part of the miners is at an end. The intention originally was to have the men quit work on labor day. Then the walking delegates postponed their order until three days later. Once more they put it off until last Saturday night. Now they are not saying a word. Wholesale prices remain the same. A McKinley Monument Cleveland, O. Sept. 26.—Initial steps were taken here toward the erection at Canton, through popular subscription, of what is hoped to be a fitting and magnificent monument to the memory of the late President McKinley. At a conference attended by Senator Hanna, Judge William R. Day, of Canton, and Colonel Myron T. Herrick, it was decided to organize at once a commission that will be national in its scope to take charge of the work at once. An Incomplete House. We run wild over the furnishings of a house; its furniture, carpets, hangings, pictures and music, and always forget or neglect the most important requisite. Something there should be always on the shelf to provide against sudden casualties or attacks of pain. Such come like a thief in the night; a sprain, strain, sudden backache, toothache or neuralgic attack. There is nothing easier to get than a bottle of St. Jacob's Oil, and nothing surer to cure quickly any form of pain. The house is incomplete without it. Complete it with a good supply. A man must have some sense to know whether he has any or not. "New York City, June 12th, 1901. -Jointly recommend Garfield Tea for liver trouble. Our family physician prescribed your Tea, and after taking four packages my system has become clear." It has been demonstrated by years of use throughout the world that Garfield Tea cleanses the system and purifies the blood; from all reports it would seem that nothing can equal this simple herb medicine that eures in Nature's way.

Of late years we have heard much from the Italian school of anthropologists about "the criminal ear." Dr. Keith, an English specialist, has studied the ears of more than 40,000 individuals, including 800 criminals and 2,000 lunatics, as well as some hundreds of animals, and he finds that ears give absolutely no clew to personal traits—New York Sun Our Wealth in Animals. In this country last year there was one horse for every five inhabitants (men, women and children), one milch cow for every four inhabitants, one or for every three inhabitants and one sheep for every one and two-thirds inhabitants. Including swine with those already mentioned there was a value of farm animals of $300 for every man, woman and child in the country. To Honor Empress Not Madman To Honor Empress, Not Madman. Some Austrians living in Geneva conceived the project of placing a memorial tablet in the Qual du Leman, where the Empress Elizabeth was assassinated. The authorities, however, refused their permission on the ground that it would be improper to commemorate the deed of a madman and help to preserve his name. In place of the tablet it is now proposed to erect a chapel in honor of the empress. The Absence of It. If there is any truth in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, mental and physical, the enjoyment of it can only be found in heaven. But so far as the physical is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less degrees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which, if taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form afflict the nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurtful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacob's Oil is made to cure them, to search out hidden pain spots, and to cure promptly in a true remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known happiness for years till they used it, and very many are putting off cure and happiness because they don't use it. "Not In the Trush" This is a favorite expression with persons who have goods on hand that they wish to sell to the public. But their goods are not always good. Neither have they a right at all times to claim that they are "not in the trust." As a matter of fact they generally are in the trust. Trusts know the advantage of advertising their goods as "not in the trust." It helps them to sell an inferior article that they may pay dividends on watered stock. The Defiance Starch company has no false stock on which to pay dividends. They simply manufacture the best starch that is made anywhere in the world, and sell 16 ounces for ten cents.

People with chest complaints are recommended by medical men to read aloud, as this strengthens throat, lungs and chest muscles alike. The reading should be deliberate, without being allowed to drag, and the enunciation clear, the body being held in an easy, unstrained, upright position, so that the chest will have free play. The breathing should be natural and as deep as possible without undue effort. Two Federal Departments. Two federal departments disburse almost exactly the same amount in salaries, the treasury department and the interior department, in Washington, $5,000,000 each. But the treasury department has 40 more employees than the interior department, the average rate of compensation in the treasury service, in which there are many women employed, being less than in the other. Marketing Crops Expensive. The report of the industrial commission on the distribution of farm products show that the cost of hauling farm products over country roads is estimated at $900,000,000 a year, or more than the entire cost of operating all the railways in the United States, which is placed at $818,000,000. The average haul to the nearest shipping station is twelve miles, and the average cost is 25 cents per ton per mile, or $3 per ton for the twelve miles. WISCONSIN FARM LANDS The best of farm lands can be obtained now in Marinette County, Wisconsin, on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway at a low price and on very favorable terms. Wisconsin is noted for its fine crops, excellent markets and healthful climate. Why rent a farm when you can buy one much cheaper than you can rent and in a few years it will be your own property. For particular address F. A. Miller, General Passenger Agent, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway, Chicago. Soundless Powder Next. The chances of smokeless powder seem seriously compromised by the recent invention of the Roman General Gilletta. Thanks to the latter's "acoustic telemeter" it is now possible to ascertain the exact spot whence the firing proceeds.—Manchester Guardian. Candy in Hot Weather: "It is very difficult in hot weather to please women who are confirmed candy eaters," says a manufacturer. "With chocolates and caramels, particularly, we have to stand a pretty large peculiarly loss when the thermometer approaches the 90 mark. Chocolates begin to perspire badly then, and a very short exposure gives them an actual case of sunstroke. They have to be made fresh every day in order to be sent out of the store at all."
