Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Not a single president is buried at Washington. An Englishman can visit the tombs of almost every English sovereign within a few hours. They lie at Winchester, at Westminster and at Windsor. But only two cemeteries in the United States contain the bodies of more than one president. The Adamses both lie in the yard of the First Congregational church at Quincy, Mass., and Monroe and Tyler are buried in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond, Va. Of the five presidents who died in office-Harrison, Taylor, Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley—only the first two died in the White House. The older Harrison was first buried in the capital, but his body was removed to North Bend, O. Washington lies at his old home at Mt. Vernon, where he died. Thomas Jefferson was buried at his home estate, Monticello, Va. A cemetery at Montpelier, Vt., contains the ashes of Madison. The death of Andrew Jackson took place at the Hermitage, his home in Tennessee. After the expiration of his term James K. Polk went to Nashville, Penn., but lived only a few months. The burial was at Nashville. Van Burger died at his country home at Kinderhook, N. Y., and was buried from the old Dutch church there. Pneumonia caused the death of William Henry Harrison a month after his inauguration. He was buried in the congressional cemetery, but a few years later the body was removed to North Bend, O., to a tomb overlooking the Ohio river. The grave was neglected, until the state of Ohio erected a monument above it. His successor, Tyler, died at the Exchange hotel, Richmond, a member of the Confederate congress.

I have endeavored to discharge all my official duties faithfully. I regret nothing, but I am sorry that I am about to leave my friends." His body was put in a vault at Washington, from which it was removed to Springfield, five miles from Louisville, Ky. Millard Filmore was buried at Buffalo, where he died. The body of Franklin Pierce lies at Concord, N. H., and that of James Buchanan at Lancaster, Pa. His last words, whispered to himself, were "Oh, Lord God Almighty, as Thou wilt." Lincoln died without speaking after he was shot. His body lies in Oak Ridge cemetery, at Springfield, Ill. Andrew Johnson died at Carter's depot, Tenn. One of his last requests was that his body be wrapped in the flag. He was buried at Greenville, Tenn. General Grant died at Mount McGregor, N. Y., and his body lies in the fine tomb at Riverside Park. Mr. Hayes was buried at Fremont, O., where he died. Garfield's body lies at the base of the monument in Lake View cemetery, Cleveland, within sight of Lake Erie, and only a few miles from his home at Mentor. Chester A. Arthur died in New York city only a year after the end of his term. A few days before his death he said to Commissioner Fish: "After all, life is not worth fighting for, and I might as well give up the struggle for it now as any other time and submit to the inevitable." He is buried at Albany, N. Y., where a finely sculptured figure guards his tomb. Benjamin Harrison died at his home in Indianapolis in March, and is buried in that city. nt To Read ro Journal AD Searchlight. ot Claim we say that The is to-day and is of the leading $1.

GUY. A meeting of a number of the prominent colored men of Topeka, was held in the hall at the rear of James H. Guy's office recently for the purpose of approving Mr. Guy's boom for the federal appointment of minister to Hayti. Bass as ch'rman and R. H. Wade as secretary. National Committeeman David Mulvane was present and promised to exert his influenced for the appointment Speeches were made by Nathaniel Sawyer, W. I. Jamison and Rev. Mr. Price. There is a strong sentiment among the colored Republican of the state that this appointment should come to the West and Mr. Guy has been selected as the most eligible man. Philadelphbia, -The Masonic hall for colored persons, erected by the bequest of the late Dempsey Butler Camden, has been dedicated by the United Lodge of New Jersey. Grand Maste Joseph H. Morgan was in charge of the exercises, after which the annual session of the grand lodge was held The building is three stories high and is built on red brick It cost $4,000. Southern opposition to Senator Hoar's anti-lynching bill has already developed, and the question of state rights is involved. The bill provides for federal jurisdiction in cases of lynching and attacks on foreigners in the states, and is said to be in accordance with the desires of the Italian government. It is now before the committee on foreign delegations. Senator Money of Mississippi, who is a member of that committee is preparing to fight the bill on the ground that is an interference of state rights. "I don't believe in violating our own constitution for the benefit of any foreign government," said Mr. Money. "Italian residents in this country have the same rights as the subjects of any other foreign nation and I don't see why foreigners should be given any more privileges in the United States than are employed by American citizens. I helped to kill a similar bill to this one some years ago, and I think we shall be equally successful in preventing the adoping of this measure." Theatrical—Wanted, sensational drama starring two real safe-blowers to open house. Address Rural Manager. A Mrs. Demuth of Alton, Ill., has started a new crusade and it looks to us like a good one. It is against lazy men. Mrs Demuth states that she has been studying the situation and she finds that more misery is caused by men who will not work than by drink. The two go hand in hand perhaps. Anyhow she wants an ordinance passed requiring such fellows to be arrested and put at work on the rock pile with wages. The money she would turn over to their families for their support. Perhaps the lady may not be able to handle the situation, but she is on the right track. Even in this hustling western country there are many families suffering simply because the father is lazy, pure and simple. In the older communities further East the thing is becoming almost intolerable. It is hard indictment, but it is true —Colo. Springs Gazette.

NO.38 Lynch Figures 1901. The Chicago Tribune, one of the greatest paper in the country, continues its interesting and instructive collocation of lynching figures of the passing year. The Literary Digest reproduces an article showing the criminal tendency of the republic for the past year in which it is shown that there were in last year 135 lynching, 107 of these being negroes and 26 white, 1 Indian and 1 Chinaman. It is worth while to emphasize the fact that the alleged crime of criminal assault falls short by 10 of the number charged for homicide. The number of lynchings in the latter part of the year 1900 was very much more inconsiderable than in the first part. It is evident that the negro people of the south are not doing as much criminal assaulting as it was charged they use to do, or else they are not being lynched as frequently as here to-fore. There is an expla-tion for this somewhere, but where it is we are unable to say. It may be that the people of the south understand that they have in the presidential office a man of stern and just character, disposed to deal fairly with white and black people, and the knowledge of this fact has operated as a balance wheel upon the disordered conditions, which have thrived since the administration of Rutherford B. Hayes, beginning in 1877. Let us hope, if this be a proper conclusirn, that we may always have as a president of the United States a man so pronounced in his abhorrence of anarchy and mob law and race prejudice, that the arm of villainy lifted in the act will be paralyzed before it has vitality to strike, and that peace and good order may be made elsewhere from the splendi-example set in the white House, where abides the chief executive of the greatest people on earth since the eagles of Rome spred over the world. It is a singular fact of all the positions under the federal government, held by white men who are seeking reappointment not one of them is opposed by colored men, but on the other hand, nearly all of the colored officeholders are being opposed by colored men. This shows unity (?) with a vengeance. For Sale, Cheap—Abandoned oil well in Texas Reasos for selling, stockholders in the hole. Address, Hooks & Klaw.

Every indication point that there will be some kind of amusement in this city next Fall. If the Street Fair is not repeated, we look forward to see something else given on as grand, if not a grander scale than the Street Fair. That would be a golden opportunity for the colored people of Wichita and Sedgwick co to invite the colored people of the state to join with us in giving a grand Negro exhibit of some kind. It is not the time now to attempt to designate the kind of exhibits or their full nature. Every year as is well known by all, the railroads offer reduced rates during the week of Fall Festivities and the colored people could arrange their program so as to take advantage of these low rates and thus the principal barrier - rail-road rates - would be removed. Thus more than 2,000 out of town colored people would be called to our city. There would be some inducement for them to come. As the Festivals have been in the past, they were fine, but there was little, in fact nothing to induce the colored people to visit Wichita; and the result has been that very very few of them have ever visited during those times, except a few from close by towns. Wichita is an ideal point at which to hold such a gathering; our railroad facilities and our location, readily substantiates our view. At any rate it would not be a bad idea for a few of the colored men of Wichita to meet and discuss the matter. Pick up a frozen snake, take it by your fire - side and thaw it out, and when it is thawed it will try to bite you first. So it is with some peo ple - if you befriend them - they try to pay you back with poison from their damnable tongue. All snakes deserve to be got away with. If the colored people could fully understand the benifits to be derived from race "Unity" they would become so solidly united that nothing could seperate them. The white man does not want to see the colored race united - because he knows full well what unity among the colored race would mean. What can the loyal colored voter expect at the hands of the republican party this fall? "An idle mind is the devil's workshop. " It's an old saying and true. We like to meet the sober, well meaning man; the man on whom you can always depend.

Buy Your Co The Ross WHOLESALE AND RETAIL ALL KINDS Hard and Soft There has been formed at the University of Michigan an organization known as the "University of Michigan colored students club,' a fraternal society which is to have a club house with sleeping rooms members and a library that will be at the disposal of all the colored students in the university. The Detroit Free Press says that the negroes were forced to this action because of the discrimination against them that they have encountered at Ann Arbor. Many hotels and boarding houses were shut against them. Two philanthropic men of Detroit are assisting the enterprise, and it is believed that it will be of much help to colorde students, particularly on their first arrival at Ann Arbor. Saratoga, Wyo.-- Two valuable bibles have been discovered in Wyoming, among old papers. One was printed in German in 1734, sent to John Vroom, of Rawlins, along with a box of heirlooms from his family's former home in Amsterdam. The other is a copy of the celebrated "breeches" Bible. This is the English Bible printed in 1606. It contains the old testamnet, the apocrypha, table of proper names, psalms, the Lord's Prayer, the Commandments and the Canticles, all set to music. The feature of the book that makes it valuable is the following verse: "And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves breeches." Few copies of this edition are known to be in existence. Opportunities and the ability to measure up to them as they fit be fore him, are the things that go to make a man. Few of us notice young men while they are climbing, They work along quietly, but steadily. Their names are seldom seen in the papers and out side of the scence of their daily duties, there existence is almost unsuspected. Suddenly an opening appear and they come forward with a rush that surprise even the friends from boyhood. They fit into their new work as snugly as a glove fits the hand. Everybody is proud to enjoy their acquaintance and try to remember incidents of the days of patient plodding and boasts of the services they rendered in bringing out the boy's native genius. It is nice to be successful. As a matter fact rises are not spontaneous. These young men attain the heights by working diligently and prayerfully.—Ex. A Kansas newspaper man's motto is, "Lie, steal, drink, and swear. When you lie, let it be down to pleasant dreams, when you steal, let it be away from immoral associates; when you drink, let it be pure water when you swear let it be that you will patronize your home paper, pay your job work to your home paper." This motto should be adopted by every man who desires to live right and to see his home town flourish and grow.— Did you know that Wichita's Negro paper is rated as second to none in the whole State? Well, that is a fact, just the same. The colored people should be proud of it. Ex. the money if NOT FREE! Verified before. We guarantee the goods and refund if the money is not.

Gentlemen: — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago, my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my right ear. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help them, that the head noises were then reduced, and that the affected ear would be left forever. Then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment. After I had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks, my hearing in the diseased ear has been entirely restored.

If you ask me to mention a tree most likely to live when planted by unskilled hands, says a writer in the Chautauquan Magazine, I would say a willow. I mean the most common kind to be found in the northern states—the kind that stands beside and overshadows the roadside watering trough. If you have driven or wheeled over country roads a picture of such a combination will readily come to your mind. The chances are that there is a local tradition connected with the origin of that tree. I have heard it in many different localities, with but slight variation. The story usually runs something like this: "John Dee, one of the early settlers, was riding horseback along this road, then but a bridle path, and stopped at this spring to water his horse. He stuck his riding whip into the mud, it took root like a cutting, and the present patriarchal willow has been the outcome." The impression is common that willows will thrive only in wet places. It is true a willow is very comfortable in places where many other trees will suffer from chilblains, yet it will give good results elsewhere. ODDS AND ENDS.

BEFORE HE TOOK VOGELER'S So writes our esteemed friend Mr. Frank Chambers of 9 Bennett street, Chiswick: "For over two years I suffered agonies from indigestion and became reduced to a mere shadow of my stalwart self. I would return home from my business feeling so faint that I could hardly drag one leg after the other. My dear wife did all she possibly could to tempt me with dainty dishes, and as I entered the house I sniffed and thought: 'Oh, how good; I know I can eat that!' But alas! no sooner had I eaten a few mouthfuls, when I felt sick; severe pains shot through my chest and shoulder blades, my eyes swam and everything seemed black, I became alternately hot and cold, and got up from such a dainty dinner heartily sick of living, and feeling I was a sore trial to everybody. I may mention that I was also very much troubled with scaly skin, and often bolls. But one evening I noticed my wife seemed more cheerful than usual. I questioned her and found she had been reading a pamphlet she had received of men afflicted just as I was, and who had been cured by Vogeler's Compound. Said she, 'What gives me more faith in it is that it is made from the formula of an eminent physician now in active practice in the West End of London, so I am sure it is no quack thing.' 'All right, dear, let's have a bottle,' said I. After taking the contents of the first bottle, I felt very much better, and determined to give this remedy a fair trial, and I can positively assure you that a few bottles made a new man of me. I can sleep well, eat anything, and thoroughly enjoy life. I have told several of my friends whom I knew were suffering the same as myself, and they all wish me to say that they are like new men. I sincerely bless the great physician who gave you the formula of Vogeler's Curative Compound, and also yourselves for making its virtues known to a suffering public."

D., has had wonderful success in evangelistic work in Kentucky and Tennessee. He writes from his home, 237 E. High st., Lexington, Ky., as follows: "I received ready and radical relief from a torpid liver, my bowels were regulated and my headaches cured by the use of one bottle of Dr. Caldwell's (Laxative) Syrup Pepsin. It enabled me to continue my evangelistic work without intermission. Your medicine will prove a great blessing to any and all who are in need of a good and true friend of a 'sound mind in a sound body.'"

A prominent Virginian apple grower, telling of the development of the industry in that state, declares that on an orchard of about eight acres one of his neighbors raised 300 trees, which this year yielded 1,100 barrels of first-class merchantable fruit. They sold for $2.50 a barrel in the orchard, the buyer furnishing the barrels and defraying the expenses of packing. A 1,000-tree orchard on an adjoining farm cleared $5,800 one year and $6,000 two years later. This is an average of $6 a tree, so that it will readily be seen that a good crop is a very lucrative investment. A. Strong Statement Star, Wis., Feb. 10th.—Mr. Samuel S. Hook, one of the most highly respected residents of this neighborhood, has given a very hearty recommendation to Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy recently introduced here. He says: "I have been a sufferer from Kidney Disease for some time and found nothing to help me till I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills. They gave me almost immediate relief, and I am now well. I have recommended them to many friends and in every case with splendid results. "They are the very best pills for all kinds of ailments, but especially for Kidney Complaints." This is a very strong statement, and coming from a gentleman of Mr. Hook's standing and reputation, it has had a tremendous influence in Vernon county. MARY MAY Mrs. L. A. Harris, a Prominent Member of a Chicago Woman's Political Club, tells how Ovarian Troubles may be Cured without a Surgical Operation. She says: "Doctors have a perfect craze for operations. The minute there is any trouble, nothing but an operation will do them; one hundred dollars and costs, and included in the costs are pain, and agony, and often death. "I suffered for eight years with ovarian troubles; spent hundreds of dollars for relief, until two doctors agreed that an operation was my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for her troubles, and been cured, and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and try the Compound. I did so as a last resort; used it faithfully with the Sanitive Wash for five months, and was rejoiced to find that my troubles were over and my health restored. If women would only try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound first, fewer surgical operations would occur." —Mrs. L. A. HARRIS, 278 East 31st St., Chicago, Ill. $5000 FOREVER THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or fatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, assitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone" and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy.

Detroit, Mich., Feb. 12.—Vice-President Frank C. Andrews, of the City Savings Bank, which has been in the hands of State Banking Commissioner George L. Malzit has been arrested and arraigned on the charge of willfully, fradulently and knowingly "securing from the bank, without security and without the knowledge of the other directors, a sum exceeding $1,000,000." He was released on $10,000 ball, and his examination was set for February 21. The cashier, Henry C. Andrews, is confined with nervous prostration. He has turned over all his property and securities, as it was through his concealing of the manner of doing business by Frank C. Andrews that the latter was enabled to carry on his ruinous speculations. Bank Commissioner Maltz, who has made an examination gives out this statement of the business of the bank at the time it was closed; Resources—Total loans and discounts, bonds, mortgages and securities, $2,363,-093; over drafts, $913,852; real estate, $10,899; cash in banks, $288,097; other assets, $18,922. Liabilities—Stock, surplus and undivided profits, $225,212; deposits, $3,-370,251. At the Gratiot Avenue branch of the City Savings bank, which drew its deposits largely from the laboring people, there were many pathetic scenes as the depositors learned that the bank had suspended. Although no warrants has yet been issued for Henry R. Andrews, an officer is stationed at his home as a guard. H. R. Andrews is in a serious condition. In addition to nervous prostration, he has had a severe attack of heart trouble. Much sympathy is expressed for Cashier Andrews, who, it is understood, became involved in his trouble through friendship for F. C. Andrews, and did not profit by the transaction. It was found that Cashier H. R. Andrews had permitted F. C. Andrews to withdraw his account $914,000. Columbians Want Canal. Monterey, Mex., Feb. 13.—General Rafael Reyes, Columbian delegate to the Pan-American Congress says: "Colombia stands ready to duplicate any concessions Nicaragua is willing to make. There need be no question about the title of the Panama water way. The United States can have it with guaranteed title. Columbia is willing to give the United States full control of the territory through which the canal passes. It wants the canal built and in the event the United States sees fit to choose the Nicaragua route, the government of Columbia, will take steps to interest European powers in the completion of the Nicaragua canal.

Washington, Feb. 13.—The report of the board of general officers on army posts proposes to make Fort Leavenworth the largest and most complete military post in the country. It is to have 12 companies of infantry, four troops of cavalry, three field batteries, a company of the signal corps, a completely equipped telegraph train and four companies of engineers. Fort Reno is to have four troops of cavalry; Fort Riley twelve troops of cavalry and five field batteries; Fort Sill, four troops of cavalry.

Famous Herefords Die Chillicothe, Mo., Feb. 13—Mr. T. F. B. Sotham, the Hereford breeder, had hard luck with his cattle at the Charleston exposition.

Load Star was taken sick, but on account of his youth bids fair to recover. The other five members of the show herd are well and hearty.

A great number of delegates have been influenced through the agency of Mr. J. S. Crawford, the Canadian government representative at Kansas City, to visit western Canada, and whether from Missouri or Kansas the story is always the same—the they are pleased with the new country being opened up. Isaac H. Levagood writes from Didsbury, Alberta, as follows: "I met three delegates from Kansas yesterday at Didsbury, and took them out in the afternoon and showed them some of the finest land that lays on top of God's green earth. They are more than pleased with this country. They stayed with me last night; this morning I took them to Didsbury, and they went on north. When they come back they are coming to my place and I am going to help them to run some lines and they are going to locate in sight of my house. There have been over 1,200 acres of land changed hands here in our neighborhood this spring. When I located here last fall I was the furthest back of any of the setters; to-day I am in the center of the settlement. We have thirty-six children that are of school age in our district, and we will have our school district organized next month, when we will proceed to build our schoolhouse. The longer we stay here the better we like the country; that is the way with everybody here, they all seem to be satisfied and doing well. I have talked with a great many men here and they told me that they had less than $50 when they got here, and today they have got 160 acres of good land and five or six hundred dollars' worth of stock. Crops are looking fine here. I think this will be a good winter wheat country. One of my neighbors has a small piece and it looks fine."
