THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT VOL. III. Minister to Hayti. No more fittisg compliment could be paid to the colored people of Kasan the appointment of a colored republican of this state Minister to layti. A PROMINENT TOPEKA LAWYER, PETER H. HARRIS HON. JAS. H. GUY, voice of the colored republicans of Kapaaas as Minister to Hayti. The position is one among the best places given to colored men, and we know of no state in the nation where the colored voters have good more strongly in support of the Republican party than those in Basas. If federal patronage is to follow merit, certainly the place above mentioned should come to Kansas, such a recognition of the colored people of this state would do much make broader and better the political career of this factor in Kans. politics. This place heretofore has been even—for the last twenty-five years to colored men in the East and south. We think it nothing but fair at the colored voters of Kansas could now come in at this time for the much-coveted plum. The national administration has at been very liberal with patronage to the colored men of Kansas. H. J. Taylor of this was recorder deeds of the District of Columbia, at he was a Democrat and his appointment was made by Mr. Cleve end. M. James H. Guy, the well known lored attorney of Topeka, seeks the appointment, and his application is meeting with much favor. He is the endorsement of all of the state officers for the position, together with many other prominent white lored Republicans of the state. Guy is now and always has en a consistent and active Republan and has rendered much service the party. NO rd nd co er m co cl ns o am rt s , D When Kansas politics was on the bing scale he was not permitted he changed by any of the new eds or doctrines. He is a man of lity with eighteen years' experience in the active practice of his profession. If appointed to the posithe now seeks he will fill it with dit to this country and to his Industrial Education WE NEED IT AS MUCH IN THE NORTH AS IN THE SOUTH. 'Tis the Salvation of the Race: Generous Northern friends of the struggling Negro in the South have devoted their time and money to the cause of industrial education as a common sense and effective method of equipping the ignorant and the helpless for the battle of life. This work is a glorious one, and we rejoice at its progress, but at the same time we wish to call attention to the fact that there is equal, if not greater, urgency for manual training for Negroes in the congested districts of the North. We have the Negro problem right here that now needs the care, thought and assistance of those real philanthropists who are committed to the doctrine of selfhelp. And the problem is a difficult one simply because those who see it in all its aspects at the South seem, strange as it may appear, to overlook it entirely at home. What are the facts in reference to the Negro in the North? What are his conditions and wants? In what estimate is he held by the North? Is it true that he needs special instruction along manual and industrial lines? After having spent years closely studying the subject, the conclusion at which I have arrived is that this ignorance, or apparant want of interest in the intellectual, moral and financial condition of the colored people in the North arise principally from the lack of a correct knowledge of the colored people in the North on the part of their friends. Many intelligent people think that the colored people in the North have always been North, or at least for a great many years. These friends reason that if the Northern colored people have been all these years surrounded with and privileged to enjoy all the advantages in the North, and yet neglected these privileges, they are, therefore, not worthy of aid. Now, as a matter of fact, the descendants here of the old colored families constitute only a very small minority of the colored people in the North. A very large majority of this people came from the South since the Rebellion, many of them within the last ten years. WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1902. The colored population of Philadelphia alone, according to the twelfth census, is over 64,000. The increase for the ten years ending 1900 was 23,654. The colored population of the State of Pennsylvania, before the Civil War, from the fourth to the eighth census, was almost stationary. In 1900 the colored population of Philadelphia had increased to 64,024, while that of the State of Pennsylvania is 156,845. The increased in the State of Pennsylvania during the last ten yeays is nearly as great as the whole population of that State was at the close of the war; for according to the eight census report, the whole colored population in 1860 was 56,949, which was not so great by 7075 as the colored population or the city of Philadelphia at the present time. Another fact should also be noted and that is that the colored population in the North is not only being rapidly increased from the South, but that the very lowest of the colored of the South are coming North, so that the moral status of the people is very much lower in the North than it was before the Civil War. Now, there is nothing which the good people of the North could do which would be of greater assistance to the colored people than the establishing of manual training and industrial schools, the object of which should be the training of the head, hand and heart—in fact, the entire man, to fit him to see, feel and act his part nobly and life's battle. Twenty years ago the writer found ed the Berean Presbyterian Church, from which a number of institutions have grown, such as a kiddergarten a building and loan association, a bureau of mutual help and a manual training school, all of which are doing excellent work along their respective lines. For example, the Berean Building and loan Association, which was organized in 1888, has been instrumental in securing for the colored people over 100 homes since that time; the average monthly receipts being $2000, and the assets $100,000. The Bureau of The Negro boys and girls of today are the material for the future Negro race of to-morrow. The future Negro race will be no better than the material of which it is composed. It is our duty then,to prepare the boys and girls of to-day for the great responsibilities in store for them in the future.-Editor. Mutual Help, which has been organized recently, is doing a most excellent work in the way of securing employment for the colored young men and women. The Bereau Manual Training School, which was organized November 6th 1899, and opened its doors for pupils February 1, 1900, with an enrollment of 35, has now an enrollment of over 200, and is having taught successfully the following trades: Carpentry, caning and upholstery, mechanical drawing, electric bell hanging, typewriting and stenography, bookkeeping plain sewing, dressmaking, cooking and waiting, millinery, and also has an English course, where the primary studies, arithmetic, grammar, geography, history, etc. are taught. This school is under the management of some of the most practical business men in the city of Phila delphia. The present running expense of this school are $3000 annually. The school has no fund, being dependent wholly upon the personal exertions of the principal for its support. There is no school more needy of assistance of a generous public than this, both to meet the running expense and to erect a suitable building for its immediate use. We stand for guidance in selfhelp and to the utmost of our ability we are trying to form the useful citizen In doing this work we feel that we are laboring for the benefit of the city, the State and the nation. Rev. MATHEW ANDERSON Principal Berean Mannal Training and Industrial School, 1926 So College avenue, Philadelphia, Dec 24, 1901. Rev. H. V. Plummer, made a notable debut in Hutchinson, last week. He shook the people from center to circumference, with his eloquence. Plummer is alright. TRIED TO INSULT THE PRESIDENT. Richmond, Va. Jan. 11.—Lieutenant John W. Starks of the Seventieth Virginia regiment was arrested here this afternoon on the charge of sending througe the mail obscene matter addressed to president Roosevelt as an evidence of his disapproval of the dinner gived by the President to Booker Washington. Starke was taken before the United States commissioner, Flegenheimer, and bailed for his appearance Tuesday before the Uniteu States court. The letter referred to was mailed here November 6th, and was directed to "The President, Washington, D. C.," the direction being printed on a large white government envelope inside was a sheet of blank letter paper on which was written in pencil under date "10-24, 1901," the words: "To Teddy: White without and black within, a nigger' in a white man's skin.—J. W. S." Inclosed was the picture of a negro standing on his hands and kicking up his heels, cut from a familiar advertisement of a drug store, with an obscene reference written on it. This constitutes the alleged violation of the law. This reached Private Secretary Cortelyou November 7th, and was immediately referred to the Post-office department. There is every reason to believe that the President never saw or heard of the insult offered him. At the beginning of Cuban exciiement Starke attempted to organize a filibustering expedition. He volunteered on the second call for troop for the Spanish war and went to the camp at Tampa, where he remained until mustered out. Recently he has made attempts to organize a force to aid the Boers. He denies having mailed the objectionable matter. NO.34 NEGRO IN BUSINESS The cry both North and South is, let the Negro organize and do business for himself. Prof. Washington is auguring the spirit of co-operation among the Negroes everywhere Mr. Washington believes as all other seneible Negroes believe and that is, the masses of the Negro race will only rise when they begin to establish business enterpsises among them selves, We also believe that to organize the Negro as a unit in business is one of the hardest problems of to day. The Negro is a docile and lovely animal, but he is easily misled and agitated by prejudiced motives. He is also suspicious and jealous of the strides made by certain members of his own race. Our experience has taught us that in no case are the Negroes willing for a member of their race to go ahead of themselves. They can bear the idea, and are pleased to see the white man succeed; but not so with one of their own race. In all Negro organizations some one must be chosen leader and in appointment of such there is always one at hand to find fault of even an angel, to say nothing of imperfect man who does with his whole soul and heart to help the condition of his race; and it is at this juncture that strifes and divisions come at the sad expense of the race, whereas the whole race is consequently made weaker. We are not able to define why the colored people have such a lack of confidence in each other. The colored man has great ideas. He is very vigilant and is always on the alert in somethings, but his business capacity and ability for responsibility and willingness for each other to climb, seems greatly impaired. There are untold blessings in store for the race. His rapid progress is something remarkable. Retail Merchants' Convention. The Rock Island will sell round trip tickets to Topeka at one fare from all points in Kansas on January 20, and from all points within 200 miles of Topeka on January 21, for Kansas Retail Grocers' and General Merchants' third annual convention, Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21 and 22. 2,000 Dewey Babies in Ohio. In Stark Co., O., twenty-one infants have been named Dewey, and it is estimated that there are nearly 2,000 Dewey babies in all Ohio. A Guide's Lot Not Happy One. "That dude hunter of yours punished a lot of fire water before he started out with you this morning," exclaimed the Adirondack guide with the wooden leg. "I should say so," growled the guide with an arm in a sling. "We hadn't seen hunting an hour before he misook me for a yellow monkey with ink tail feathers." THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

Goo. Mr. Luling's long experience in Insurance makes him very competent for that place. He is a Wichitan of whom we all are proud. He is a strong man in the state and will add strength to the republican ticket. Do not find so much fault with what some one else is trying to do, do something your-self, and you won't have so much time for fault-finding. Another colmn elsewhere in this issue we present a few remarks concerning the candidacy of prominent colored Attorney of Topeka for the position of Minister to Hayti. Mr. Guy, is one of the most prominent colored republicans in the west, and his appointment to the position of Minister to Hayti will be a just recognition of the loyalty of the colored voters of Kansas to this Grand old party. Mr. Guy represents the colored republicans of our state, and is highly competent, and will do credit to all as Minister to Hayti; besides being endorsed by most of the prominent colored people of the state, he also has the endorsement of most of the prominent white republicans, which speaks well of the high estimate in which he is held by the republican workers in the state of Kansas. Representative H. C. Smith of Michigan, introduced a joint resolution for a constitutional amendment empowering congress to define the qualification of electors for members of congress and requiring that these qualifications shall be uniform throughout the states. The purpose of the amendment is to prevent the disfranchisement of voters at congressional elections. Judge Thos. C. Wilson is confined at his home suffering from the injury of his shoulder. His many frends hope his early recovery. A visit to the Dold Packing plant will convince any one that Mr. F.

Surrounded by her devoted family and a host of warm friends, each eager to catch the tinyest and slightest expression or move of a muscle to mean added vitality and a prolongation of life; every moment to the tender watchers was one of extreme anxiety; thus surrounded by those who were near and dear to her Mrs. Lucy Anna Orr quit the walks of this life and answered the tender, but firm summons to appear before the judgement bar of God. She gave up mortality, left this world of sorrow and pain and went to join the angelic hosts in the great and mysterious unknown. She did not falter she did not hesitate, but met her Maker as a true Christian; a pleasant smile, a beckoning look at her faithful watchers at her bed side as if to say "meet me where God lives' The path which she trod has oft been trod before; thousands, tens of thou ands, yea, millions multiplied by hundreds of millions have gone this self same way; and the most mysterious, yes doubly mysterious, and wonderful fact about this oft trod path from life to the great beyond, is, no traveler has ever returned to direct the millions of future travelers the way — and none ever will. Mrs. Orr is not dead, but sleeping that never waking sleep; she is at rest. She died as she lived, a true, devoted and faithful Christian. She was conscious till the latt. When the end came about 4:20 Sunday afternoon she closed her eyes as quiet and peaceful as one in sleep. The end had come. She leaves a hus band and ten children and a host of friends io come after her. Mrs. Lucy Anna Orr was born in Columbia, Murray co., Tenn., Dec. 25, 1848; she lived there till 1875, when she moved to Baxter Springs, Kansas. In the fall of 75 she moved to Chicago, Il., going from there to Benton Harbor, Mich., returning to Baxter Springs in 1877 where she remained till 1885, when she went to Severy, Kan., and in 1894 she came to Wichita. In 1866 she was married to Geo. W, Orr, at Mount Pleasant, Tenn. She was 53 years, 17 days old at time of her death. Funeral services were held at her late home and were conducted by Rev. H. V.

The hall was beautifully decorated with "Old Glory" and evergreen. The opening exercise was a solo by Mrs. Riley Wickliff with Mrs. I. Morris presiding at the organ. The speaker was then introduced, whose subject was Pluck vs. Luck. He forcibly impressed upon the minds of the hearers that we must continue to educate, morally, intellectually and financially, and then let pluck demand our right as American citizens. He branded one-eyed Tillman as a liar, a traitor an ingrate and a fool, and the only thing the speaker seems to regret was that he had to associate the names of some of the smartest men of the United States, such as Toussaint L.

DENTAL PARLORS Up Stairs Nextto Eagle Office STORIES OF CARLYLE Veteran Rector Tells Carlyle's Detestation of Science. The Rev. A. G. V. Blunt, who has resigned the rectorship of Chelsea, London, after a service of forty-one years, is one of the few people living who knew Carlyle intimately. "Carlyle," he said recently, "had the key of my garden and he used it. He would sit after dinner, pipe in mouth, and his reflections would flow in a brilliant and incessant stream. When he began to abuse anybody or anything it was no use trying to stop him. In particularly he hated Huxley's writings and detested all science. I remember Huxley—whose character grew sweeter and sweeter as years drew on—telling me that it was no use contradicting him He was so great and so old." Carlyle did not often go to church, but somebody once took him to see Westminster abbey. He was impressed with the building, but not with the service, "and as for being buried in it," he growled, "I should want a jail delivery first before I'd lay my bones there." The Rev Mr. Blunt also knew Rosetti and Holman Hunt, and tells the following story of Rosetti: "When his wife died he cast a volume of unpublished poems into her grave and it was buried with her. But later, the argument of his friends as to the loss which the world suffered thereby induced him to have the poems dug up again and they were then given to the world."—Chicago News R FOUND AMERICANS BUYING LAND AT SASKATCHEWAN, WESTERN CANADA. A Michigan Farmer Visits Saskatoon and Is Well Pleased. Mr. S. K. Lent was a delegate sent from the farmers of Allegan County, Michigan, to Western Canada, to report on the prospects for successful settlement. His report is as follows: I went from Winnipeg to Edmonton, thence east one hundred miles by wagon. I found the country in that vicinity a rich, black loam, varying from 12 inches to 3 feet deep; the crops are simply something enormous; wheat and oats by actual measurement often standing five feet in height. I have been a farmer for forty years, and consider myself a fair judge of the yield of grain, and I saw wheat that would yield 50 bushels per acre, and oats that would yield 100 bushels per acre; not one alone, but a good many. As for root crops and garden truck, in no country have I ever seen their equal for all kinds except corn and tomatoes; the nights being too cool for these to ripen well. As a stock country it has no equal. East of Edmonton, on the head waters of the Vermillion River, I saw hay meadows containing from 10 to 100 acres, the grass standing 4 feet high, and would often cut 3 to 4 tons to the acre. From Edmonton I passed through some fine locations, namely, Wetaskiwin, Lacombe and other points. From McLeod I went to Regina, thence to Prince Albert, 247 miles north of the main line. For the first fifty miles is fine farming country, but the next hundred miles is more of a stock country. Then at Saskatoon, Rostern and Duck Lake I found some very fine farming country, so good that I found a party of Americans from Minnesota buying land for themselves—one party buying 12 sections, and the other 20 sections of land for themselves, which they proposed to improve at once. I have traveled over twenty-three different States and Territories in our Union, and never in my life time have I ever seen such magnificent crops and especially as fine a stock country.

As a result of bad roads and heavy transportation, army horses in Argentina have been overworked during the rainy season, and many of them have been exhausted or have fallen ready victims to disease. To give greater endurance, sugar has been added to the food of the animals. The effects have been quite surprising, and it is reported that not only has fatigue been overcome by two ounces of sugar in the daily food, but the animals that had become quite useless regained strength and capacity for work. Curious Punishment for Servants. Servants in the Isle of Man who refuse to complete the period of service for which they are engaged are liable to curious punishment. In a case before the magistrate at Peel recently William Corlett, a farm laborer, was charged with refusing to carry out his engagement. It was stated that the penalty provided by a statute of 1665 is that the servant is to be kept in prison and allowed one cake and a cup of water per day until he returns to service. Corlett was spared this punishment, as the magistrate was satisfied that he had not engaged to serve a stated period. An Important Discovery.

Finally he tried Dodd's Kidney Pills, and to his great joy was cured completely.

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.

There is a plan forming to build a trolley line from Salina to Lincoln, a distance of thirty-five miles. The Salina commercial club is considering it. Many Kansas towns are forming commercial clubs just in time to have a representation at the Reciprocal convention at Topeka on January 22 and 23. It is thought that the Bourbon county grand jury now in session will find bills against county officers and those of the city of Fort Scott, as well as against the booze dealers. Wichita wholesalers have been figuring together and they declare that their gross business in 1901 reached ten and three-fourths million dollars.

He not only has the regular duties of a court commissioner, which are in themselves multifarious, but he acts as justice of the peace, judge of probate and recorder of all the mining claims in his district.-Chicago Chronicle. ANOTHER REMARKABLE CASE Which the Doctors Failed to Cure or Understand. A Medical man as a rule dislikes to knowledge the value of a proprietary medicine—in fact, professional etiquette debars him from doing so. Yet there are many eminent physicians, those most advanced in their professions, who give full credit to the great curative properties of Vogeler's Curative Compound, from the fact that it is manufactured by an old and reliable company, proprietors of St. Jacob's Oil, from the formula of a brother physician, who to-day stands in the front ranks of the most eminent medical men in London, and on account of its intrinsic merit, it is largely prescribed by the medical profession; but, in the case which we are about to relate, the attending physician called it "rubbish," but, as it turned out, Mrs. Nettleton tells the doctor that "rubbish or not, it saved her life." Mrs. Nettleton graphically relates the particulars of her own case, which will doubtless be of interest to many of our lady readers: "I had been an intense sufferer for many years from dyspepsia, liver and kidney troubles, when a little pamphlet was placed in my hands, and, although at that time I had been bedridden for more than six months, I determined, after reading some of the wonderful testimonials therein of cases similar to mine, which had been completely cured by the timely use of Vogeler's Curative Compound, to try some, especially as my doctors failed to even benefit me, and I had almost given up all hope of ever being well again. It is most interesting, and, in fact, marvelous to relate, that the very first dose of fifteen drops relieved me. It was not long before I was able to get up and about; three months from taking the first dose I was enjoying better health than I had been for fourteen years. I continued well until a few months back, when I was taken ill again, my troubles being dyspepsia and constipation. I had a doctor attending me for a month, but continued to grow worse, until I again found myself bedridden, when I thought myself of my old medicine, Vogeler's Curative Compound, which I immediately sent for and took in place of the doctor's medicine, at that time I had not had a movement of the bowels for five days, but Vogeler's Curative Compound put me on my feet again—in fact, completely cured me a second time, but, of course, this attack was not as bad as the first, yet I fully believe I should not have been alive today had it not been for Vogeler's Curative Compound. If I had only thought to have taken it when my last illness took place, I should not only have been saved much suffering, but a $75 doctor's bill." Mrs. Nettleton said: "I have recommended Vogeler's Curative Compound for indigestion and eczema, and in every case it has proved a cure beyond a doubt. Mr. Swinbank, our chemist, has sent me the names of no end of people who have been cured by Vogeler's Curative Compound. By the way, the proprietors have so much confidence in this great London physician's discovery, that they will send a sample free to any person sending name and address and naming this paper." St. Jacob's Oil Co, 205 Clay Street, Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Nettleton is a confectioner, in the Brighton Road, where she has been established many years, and is honored and respected by all classes. Her statements as regards Vogeler's Curative Compound may, therefore, be regarded as reliable evidence of its great value. The public, however, may look upon this remarkable statement as one of the many which we are constantly receiving from grateful people all over the world, who have been cured of various maladies by the use of this wonderful remedy, which is the result of an eminent physician's life-long experience. These people are nearly always representative and well-known citizens. PILES FISTULA. NO MONEY TILL CURED.
