Dr. Countee Continues The Discussion Of Negro Progress The business side of Negro progress is, to my mind, the most factor before him. It marks his progress as nothing else can, and will do more to give him a promineut standing in the country than all things else. The progress of the Negro along all lines has been phenominal; especially is this true as it ref atesto his business enterprises. The Negro has had no business training, and yet, he has had the temerity to launch out into the commercial world. As a banker he is doing exceedingly well. We have banks in Richmond, Va., Birmingham, Ala., Chattanooga, Tenn., Philadelphia, Pa., and other places, each of which have a good rating. We have a number of Industrial Insurance companies giving employment to thousands of young men and women. The most prominent of these insurance companies are located in Richmond' Va.' Mobile, Ala. and Jacksonville, Fla. Pine Bluff. Ark. leads as a mercantile center so far as the Dry Goods business is concerned. There are no less than 30 persons who are engaged in the sale of dry goods. Mr. Havis has charge of a large department store, employing about 12 clerks, men and women. He carries a one hundred dollar stock of groceries dry goods' boots, shoes, men's clothing and hardware. Another gentleman whose name we cannot recall at this writing has a large dry goods, boot, shoe and men's clothing establishment, carrying a stock of goods estimated from forty to fifty thousand dollars. In every large city of the South-land and in many of the small towns our people can be found in mercantile pursuits. A race of people who are putting themselves in touch with the commerce of the country need have no fears. I have already stated we have our Lawyers and Doctors, and drug stores operated by graduated pharmacists all over the country. Just a few days ago the Pullman Sleeping Car porters opened a bank in the city of Chicago. White men are trained in business, pursuits but the Negro launches out without any previous training, and he is succeeding in all the lines of business; thus showing to the unprejudiced world that he has capabilities which if WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1901 properly brought out will enable him to reach the highest point of development in manhood. He pleads for fair play in the race of life. The civilized world is becoming aware of the fact that there is a good side to the Negro as well as a bad side, and they are also learning that white men have good sides and bad sides; and more, they are learning that the anatomy of the Negro is like that of his Anglo-Saxon brother, and that all the knotty questions which are agitating many minds concerning the status of the Negro will in due time regulate themselves. The Negro in some cases is now discussing this question is mind and asking himself has he any country and has he any flag under which he can be protected? He gives his life's blood freely when called on to do so for and in defense of America and American institutions, and in return he ask "what do I get and what may I expect?" He feels in many instances that his stay in this country is mere toleration. He is finding out that he can exercise and enjoy as a whole, more manhood under the flag of any other country than is granted him under the flag of this country. Just a few months ago our American Christianity arose up in London, Englnd, and tried to take charge of an Englishman's hotel and eject a large number of colored men from the same. The discussion of this phase of Negro life in America is making many of the race pessimistic. Laws that are made to regulate the status of men that are based on prejudice will, of themselves, be dead letters. I say to my race do not worry over the political situation of things in this country. Be honest, educate, and then remember an education without religion will not do us any particular good. Let the entire man be educated—a full development of the entire man. Be respectful, aim high, get above the level of a street rat, a hang around, or a corer loafer, and you will soon seen that by so doing you can save money, have a respectable home and be generally respected everywhere. WANTED. 10,001 men, women, and children to read The Wichita Searchlight! Only $1.00 per year. Judge Thos. C. Wilson. It is now one year since Judge Thos. C. Wilson made such a grand raoe and was elected Probate Judge of Sedgwick county. In this race he proved his popularity and lead every candidate on every ticket and came out victorious with votes to spare. Since taking charge of this office he has conducted it upon a highly business, economical and creditable manner. He is a model official and a credit to the voters of our county. In a short while now the people will be called upon to make a choice for this office in common with the other offices to be filled; but all realize that no better, purer, or safer man can be found for Probate Judge than the present incumbent. Judge Thos. C. Wilson. BOYCOTTS STREET CARS The colored people of Jacksonville Florida, have boycotted the Street Car Line at that place because an ordinance was passed by the council providing for separate cars on the line. The colored people held a big mass meeting on 19th inst and organized a etock company with 20,000 shares at $1. per share, and will run a stage coach line to all of the city, exclusively for colored people. Every share was bought np and the coaches already ordered. The Street Car company seeing that the colored are in earnest and mean not to patronize the line and also knowing that the loss of this patronage is quite an item, is trying to pacify the blach; but the colored people will use their stage coaches in the future. There is talk of repealing the ordinance. NEGROES LOOSING CLAIMS. Notwithstanding the announcement of United States District Attorney, Horace Speed, that he will have cancelled the homestead of every man who makes any attempt to eject a colored homestead from his claim, complaints of such action against colored men are filed daily with the United States marshall, asking protection for colored men who drew claims in the recent government lottery. More than 100 colored homesteaders have been run out. ```markdown ``` NOTICE! The role which mob vengeance has played and still plays in American life is perhaps the darkest blot left on our credit as a civilized people. It is the shadow which darkens our idea of even an equal public justice, or respect for the law and protection and security under it. An inheritance in the West under the crude conditions of frontier life, and in the South from the race codflicts of the reconstruction era, the passion of mob violence has maintained itself with singular persistency against the sobering influence of reason and order. For those who hope to vindicate American credit from this stigma there is some encouragement, however, in the conclusion to be drawn from the tabulation of the lynchings occurring in various parts of the United States from 1885 to 1901, recently published in the Chicago Tribune. From the Tribune's table which shows the total number of illegal executions for each year of the sixteen, and the total of each State and Territory in the full sixteen year period, it can be demonstrated, for instance, that on a whole the mania for mob justice has clearly abated in the last ten years. The years 1898, 1899 and 1900 show a much smaller number of illegal executions than 1891, 1892 and 1893. For the earlier years of the decade the totals were respectively, 193, 236 and 200; for the later ones they were only 127, 107 and 115-average for the first period of 209 lynchings against an average for the second of only 116. No other years between 1885 and 1891 have, in fact, so black a record as the first three or four in the nine ties. The year 1899 was freest of all from mob violence: 1900 was next, and 1887, with 125, stands third in this respect. For the whole sixteen years the Tribune's table shows the ominous total of 1,516 lawless executions—yearly average 156. Of the States in which mob punishment was inflicted most rrequently on criminals and suspected criminals in the sixteen year period mentioned, Mississippi with its disproportionate Negro population, easily lead There were 253 lynchings reported from that State, against 247 for Texas (which has, however, twice Mississippi's population), 210 for Alabama, 221 for Louisiana, 165 for Tennessee, 219 for Georgia, and 156 for Arkansas. For a black State Foreman Chas. Shoots and the File Boys of No. 3 occupied the house of No. 1 while that company went to the rescue of Newton Sat. NO.26 South Carolina has the exceedidgly low record of eighty four illegal execution [ which low record. however, is not the fault of the one-eye democratic leader of that State, Ben Tillman ] in sixteen years. North Carolina's total is even more creditable —only fifty two. From six States no instances of mob violence are reported—Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Utah. New York is credited with two lynchings, New Jersey with one, Connecticut one and Pennsylvania with three. It is some satisfaction to know that of the 2,516 lynch law sentences on record 1,714 were inflicced in the nine Southern States alone; so that the evils of the system may be considered in a measure localized. STOPPING A LAND GRAFT. Attempt to Gobble up State School Lands. Topeka, Nov. 21.—Assistant Attorney General James Clayton has rendered an opinion, which, if followed by the commissioners of Western Kansas counties, will stop the practice of gobbling up school lands. A large percent of these lands were leased last year for a period of five years. Now the lessees are surrendering their leases and purchasing the land under the settlers' act. They are doing this because the price of land is advancing. The legislature last winter passed a law reducing the minimum price of school lands to $1.25 an acre. Through connivance of the appraisers people are buying up the land at that figure. Some of it is worth four times that amount, but the appraisers enter into a scheme and appraise it at $1.25 and it is taken at that price. Added to this is the scheme of the lessees to surrender their leases and then take the land under the settlers' act at $1.25 an acre. Mr. Clayton ruled that the lessees could not surrender their leases; that they would have to carry them out to the very letter; furthermore, that a lessee could not claim settlement by reason of residing on leased lands. The assistant attorney general also held that all leased land sold must be sold subject to the lease. Cable to Hawaii London, Nov. 21.—The Commercial Pacific Cable Co., recently organized in New York to lay a cable from San Francisco to the Philippine islands has awarded the contract for the manufacture and laying of the first section from San Francisco to Honolulu, to an English company which guarantees to complete it in ten months. The contract price is nearly 600,000 pounds. A Negro Boycott. Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 21.—The negroes, who have instituted a boycott against the street cars on account of the recent ordinance separating the races on the cars, held a mass meeting and agreed to organize a stock company of 20,000 shares at $1 a share to operate a stage coach service throughout the city, exclusively for negroes. Students of Madrid. Madrid Nov. 19.—A violent demonstration against the ministry by students was made here. The disturbance was quelled by the police, but not until street cars had been stoned, shop windows smashed and many pedestrians injured. The students have appointed a rendezvous when a renewal of the disorder is expected. Damages For Destroying Trees. Waukegan, Ill., Nov. 19.—Telegraph companies can be made to pay damages for the destruction of trees where their line runs into the public highway. Damages amounting to $304 were assessed against the Postal Telegraph Company in the county count in favor of the heirs of James Bradley for damage to trees at the Bradley farm. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

Passing of the Cable Car A few years ago the cable system was considered the best, but since the invention of the cable system, it has hardly displaced.

It cures her mothers and daughters and makes them well and strong. PRINCESS VIROQUA. Practicing Physician and Lecturer. "For fifteen years I have noted the effect of your Vegetable Compound in curing special diseases of women. "I know of nothing superior for ovarian trouble, barrenness, and it has prevented hundreds of dangerous operations where physicians claimed it was the only chance to get well. Ulceration and inflammation of the womb has been cured in two or three weeks through its use, and as I find it purely an herbal remedy, I unhesitatively give it my highest endorsement. — Fraternally yours, Dr. P.

Vincennes, Ind., Nov. 21.—Four hundred union coal miners from Washington, Cannelleburg, Petersburg, Princeton and Montgomery made an attack upon the non-union miners employed at the Prospect hill mines, near this city. As a result, two men are fatally hurt and a half dozen more are seriously injured. The union miners formed and marched to the mines. Just as the men of the day shift were going on duty, they were attacked. The union men asked for the foreman, William Scott, and, when told that he was in bed, said: "All right, we will get him." They started after Scott and in the melee that followed Scott and his family defended themselves as best they could, but were powerless. Scott was badly beaten, and W. P. Collins, an attorney of Washington, a brother-in-law of Scott, who was visiting with the family, sustained injuries that may prove fatal. He had a rib broken and an eye badly injured. Henry Hannery, a miner, was so badly beaten by the men that he had to be removed to the city, where he could be given surgical attention. His injuries are such that he may die. Mrs. Scott was slapped in the face, and, when she resented the attack, it is alleged that one of the men drew a gun and told her that he would make short work of her if she persisted in her foolishness. Otis Scott, the 15-year-old son, was knocked down, as was also little Dottie, the 10-year-old daughter of Scott. Others suffered at the hands of the visitors. It is said there that no word was spoken to Scott until the fight began. In the fight the stove was knocked over and a big hole was burned in the floor. The house was badly damaged. Almost every window was broken and one of the doors was battered down. Only forty men are employed and the mine is run on the co-operative plan and independently. The operators claim that they cannot pay the union scale and run, but say they pay the highest price possible. There is great confusion over the attack and another raid is expected. The union miners say they will force the mine to unionize or close, but one of the two must be done. Further trouble is anticipated. Firm With Druggists. Topeka. Nov. 19.—Probate Judge Fagan, of Shawnee county, announced that if the Topeka druggists who were arrested were convicted in the police court of selling liquor he would revoke their licenses without waiting to see what the termination of the cases was in the higher courts. This has thrown the Topeka druggists into excitement.

Cudahy Loses by Fire. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 18.—The fire that broke out in the canning building of the Cudahy packing establishment destroyed that building, with a large stock of canned meats that it contained. The loss is estimated at $150,000. The fire was not under control until nearly 9 o'clock. Dr. Gray Held For Murder. Chicago, Nov. 19.—Dr. R. E. Gray, of Garden, City, Kas., has been booked on a charge of murder by the Maxwell street police in connection with the death of Miss Erma Brown. The doctor has refused to furnish any information concerning the identity of the companion who attended Miss Brown in the Clark street hotel, but Captain Wheeler says she will be arrested in time for the inquest. Relatives of the young woman who are expected here from Garden City did not appear. The Relinquishment Market Lawton, Ok., Nov. 18.—Homesteads left after the regular selections had been made have all been gobbled in the scramble for homes. On some of them three or four contests have been instituted. For every person who drew a claim there are a dozen persons pleading to buy his relinquishment. In Lawton, Anadarko, Hobart and El Reno real estate agents and lawyers make no secret of their traffic in homestead rights. French Sentiment. Paris, Nov. 21.—The Journal Des Debats says it regards the Hay-Pauncefeo treaty as a signal victory for Washington, and adds: "The submission of England is as complete as the Americans could wish. It is interesting to again note that England cannot live at peace with the United States except at the cost of perpetual concessions and sacrifices. The Temps sees in the treaty a striking demonstration of mutual good will of the two powers. RELINQUISHMENT BUYERS Are Advised to Keep a String on Their Cash. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 20.—A contest is to be filed soon for the purpose of settling a disputed point: A. buys a relinquishment of B., and they go to the land office to file the same, also to file a new homestead entry. In the meantime C. has gone upon the land and established his home and begins actual improvements. On these grounds he enters contest against A. claiming prior and actual settlement of the land alleging there was a time intervening between the filing of the relinquishment and the recording of the new homestead entry, and that during this interval the land was public domain and subject to entry and settlement. The government has sustained several contests in the past in exactly that kind of cases. In view of this fact it will be well for parties buying relinquishments and paying big prices for them to keep a string on their money until they are in actual possession of the land. Spread Goes to Washington. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 21.—In response to a telegram requesting his presence in Washington, Horace Speed., the United States attorney for Oklahoma, has gone to that city. He has been tendered the governorship of Oklahoma by the president and Secretary Hitchcock. Just before his departure he said: "It is an office I do not want, and one I will not have unless they insist upon it." This is taken to mean that Governor William Jenkins has been turned down by his old friend, Secretary Hitchcock. Mystery in Cracked Crib. Hutchinson, Ks., Nov. 21.—The safe in the Missouri Pacific depot was blown open, and the job resulted disastrously to the gang that did the work. One of the robbers was found dead in the waiting room, with a gunshot through his stomach. Whether he was thought to be crippled and was shot by his companions, on the theory that "dead men tell no tales," or was killed in some quarrel which arose among the thieves, is not known. The dead man is supposed to be Chas. M. Kinney, of Larned. First Railway Over the Andes. Gunyayquil, Ecuador, Nov. 21.—A trial train was run over the new railway line from Bucay to Quito, a distance of 22 miles. This is the most difficult portion of the line to Quito from an engineering point of view. When the work was begun the difficulties seemed insurmountable. All, however, have been successfully overcome, and the main problem of passing the Andes is now solved. The Most Severe Blow Manila, Nov. 19.—General Sumner, commander of the district of Southern Luzon, highly praises Captain Hartman and his troop of the First cavalry who attacked 400 insurgents intrenched in rifle pits in Hatangas province and routed them. General Sumner says the blow then administered by Captain Hartman is the most severe the insurgents have suffered since he (General Sumner) assumed command of his district. Bishop of Philippines Boston, Nov. 19.—Rev. Charles H. Brent, of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, will accept the Episcopal bishopic of the Philippines, where a diocese was created by the triennial convention at San Francisco. Mr. Brent notified Right Rev. Thomas Clarke, of Rhode Island, senior bishop of the church, that he had accepted the appointment. Sweeping Great Britain. London, Nov. 16.—The gale which has been sweeping over Great Britain and Ireland continues unabated at many coast points. Over the Welsh lowlands the torrential rains caused disastrous floods. Reports of wrecks and casualties continue to flow in. The death list, made up of threes and fours, has an aggregate approaching 100. The mail boat from Dover for Calais, which ran down a light ship of the works of the New Dover pier, has succeeded in returning to Dover. Some of Long's Work. Washington, Nov. 19.—Representative Long is a member of a committee that will meet this week to draw a bill reorganizing the house employees. The condition and status of these employees are decidedly unsatisfactory, and last spring Mr. Long was appointed by the speaker to be a member of a committee to investigate the situation. Following this, he was also appointed on a special committee to draw a bill covering the proposition, besides his work on regular committees. Chicago Has Fog Accidents. Chicago has Fog Accidents. Chicago, Nov. 21. The thickest fog that has been experienced in Chicago caused numerous collisions between trains. One man was killed and two were dangerously injured. Fifteen others were seriously injured. Many others were injured in minor accidents due to the fog. Every ambulance in the city was kept busy carrying the injured to their homes or to hospitals. The more serious accidents occurred upon the Metropolitan and the Lake Street Elevated roads. St. Jacobs Oil for Chest-Colds, Bronchitis, Group and Fleurisy. An outward application for bronchial difficulties is many times far more effective than syrups, cough mixture, cod liver oil, &c., simply because it penetrates through to the direct cause, which is, as a rule, an accumulation of matter or growth tightly adhered to the bronchial tubes. St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does those wonderful penetrating powers, enables it to loosen these adhesions and to induce free expectoration. Cases have been known where expectorations have been examined after St. Jacobs Oil has been applied, and the exact formation was clearly shown, where the adhecations had been removed or pulled off the bronchial tubes. All irritation of the delicate mucous membrane of the bronchae is quickly removed by the healing and soothing properties of St. Jacobs Oil. In cases of croop and whooping cough in children St. Jacobs Oil will be found superior to any other remedy. St. Jacobs Oil is for sale throughout the world. It is clean to use—not at all greasy or oily, as its name might imply. For rheumatism, gout, sclatica, neuralgia, cramp, pleurisy, lumbago, sore throat, bronchitis, soreness, stiffness, bruises, toothache, headache, backache, feetache, pains in the chest, pains in the back, pains in the shoulders, pains in the limbs, and all bodily aches and pains it has no equal. It acts like magic. Safe, sure, and never failing. Titles Filed Up The duke of Alva, who died in New York city a few days ago, held twenty-five titles, being four times a duke, sixteen times a marquis and five times a count. Though the deceased nobleman was a grandee of high rank his influence and position in Spanish affairs were not as commanding as certain other grandees. Neither was his fortune by any means ducal. Oldest Trade Secrets. The two oldest secret trade processes now in existence are considered to be the manufacture of Chinese red, or vermillion, and that method of inlaying the hardest steel with gold and silver which seems to have been practiced at Damascus ages ago, and is known only to the Syrian smiths and their pupils even to this day. Tobacco Retailing in France To have the right to keep a retail tobacco and cigar store in France is considered a privilege worth working for, and it is said that every change of ministry is sure to give an opportunity to the exercise of the appetitive power of the government, which augments the number of retail tobacco dealers. Wholesale Beer Drinkers. The British are the largest drinkers of beer in the world and the consumption is growing. The quantity of beer absorbed in 1900 amounted to 1,258-766,000 gallons, or not much less than 20s,000,000 cubic feet; in other words, the contents of a reservoir 2,000 feet long, 1,000 feet wide and 104 feet deep. "Home Made." "Home Made" as a trade mark should be retired, except when applied to a marriageable young woman. The homemade girl is what all celibates are looking for; not finding her, they remain celibates. There are many of them, but they are not easy to spot.—New York Press. Topeka Glrla' Skirta. Over in Topeka, the girls are wearing three drop skirts. We don't know what this means, but don't doubt that it means something that will cost more. Should a fashion be invented to reduce expenses, the men couldn't stand the shock.-Atchison Globe. Hard on Man Next Door Mr. Spurgeon, the famous London preacher, being asked whether a man could be a Christian and belong to a brass band, replied, "Yes, I think he might, but I think it would be a very difficult matter for his next door neighbor to be a Christian." Rheumatism and the Fro Chicago, Ill., Nov. 15th.—Mr. R. A Wade, the celebrated criminal lawyer of this city whose opinion on legal matters is unquestioned, has recently made public his unqualified opinion on a matter of medicine. Mr. Wade says that Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble affect the eyesight, and further that there is no case of the kind that can not be cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. He has no fear of being set right by any of his medical friends, for both statements have a living and indisputable proof in the person of the great lawyer himself, who as a result of Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble from which he suffered for years, became totally blind. Physicians, the best in the country, pronounced his case incurable and hopeless, but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured him, restored his sight, drove away the Kidney Trouble and with it the Rheumatism and made an all-around well man of him. The Snuff Called Pareca On the Amazon river several Indian tribes use snuff, called pareca, which is made of seeds of a species of plant. When a bout of snuff-taking is determined on the people become highly intoxicated and then use the snuff. The effect of pareca is so violent that the taker drops as if shot and lies insensible for some time; those more accustomed to it are highly excited, dancing and singing as if mad. The effect soon subsides. Other tribes use it to repel apel during the wet season. Germany has shown far greater foreseal than either England or the United States in the matter of training officers and men for the navy. Her schools are filled with the brightest of the coming generation, being educated in navigation and gunnery, and, instead of limiting the graduates, as we do at Annapolis, to fifty or sixty a year, she is turning out annually 400 or 500 young sailors competent to command ships at sea.—Correspondence Chicago Record-Herald.
