Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT HENRY SHAD. Hon. Henry Shad, the present very efficient Marshall of the City Court, is one of the candidates for seriff, subject to the republican convention to be held on June 7th. Mr. Shad is a pioneer resident of this city and was born in Riccdmond, Ma., March 22, 1846. He is of one of the few Southern families who remained steadfast and loyal to the stars and stripes during the late civil war. His parents, though living in the hot bed of slavery, did not believe in that practice and were never owners of slaves. Henry grew up with the abhorance for the practice of selling human beings. Growing to the age of maturity and havng such a dislike for the practice of Virginia, he left in 1861 and came North and enlisted in the Urion army. He is a resident of the 4th ward and is by no means a stranger to the citizens of this city. He has been councilman and is now filling his 2nd term as Marshall of the City Court. He is friendly to the colored people and should he receive the nomination and election, will recognize the colored voters in a most handsome manner; and the knowing ones say he has the inside track on the nomination. WORK AND LABOR. Among the troubles of life we do not of course reckon the necessity of labor. Work indeed, and hard work, if it is only in moderation, is in itself a rich source of happiness, for we know how quickly time pass when we are well employed, while the moments hang heavily on the hands of the idle. Occupation drives away care and all the small troubles of life; as the busy man has no time to brood or to fret. This applies to the labor of the field and the workshop. Humble it may be, but if it does not dazzle with the promise of fame, it gives the satisfaction of duty fulfilled and the inestimable blessing of health. Labor was said by the ancients to be the price which the gods set upon everything worth having. We admit though we often forget, the marvellous power of perseverence is continually impressing this lesson on us. But though labor is good for man, it may be and unfortunately often is carried to success. Many are wearily asking themselves: "Ah, why should life all labor be?" There is a time for all things, says Solomon, a time to work and a time to play; we shall work all the better for reasonable change and one reward of In whatever sphere our duty lies we must rely mainly on ourselves. At the present time, though there may be some special draw backs, still we come to our work with many advantages which were not enjoyed in olden times. Work is so much of a necessity of existence, that it is less a question whether, than how, we shall work, for it is the power of work, which has especially characterized our greatest men. Let us then in all of our undertakings strive to do our very best and wait the result without anxiety, for work secures the rich reward of rest. In His will is our peace; and in such peace the mind will find its truest delight, for "When care sleeps, the soul wakes."--Charleston Meseenger. CAMPING IN COLORADO is one of the most delightful and inexpensive ways of spending vacation. A book with the above title, containing full details of where to go, necessary camp equipment, and its cost, either purchased or rented, with full and accurate information for the inexperienced, is being prepared by the Great Rock Island Route, and will be sent free, with other Colorado literature, on application to E. W. Thompson, A.G. A Topeka, Kas. You will be astonished to find how cheaply the outing can be made. THE 'CAMPAIGN SHEETS." If there is any city in the world that has had its fill of the "campaign" Negro papers, Wichita is it. There is no city in the Union where the colored people, the white people, the merchants, the business men and the politicians have been "worked" so often by the "smooth" Negro political "campaign" paper fakes as those of this city have been in the past. Men have come to this city with their glaring plans to "and" some political party and have most infamously "got in their works." Then, the people, both white and colored, have good reasons to stay clear of those fellows whose past record has been one of "leg pulling" with no stability. The effect of these many infamous Negroes who have always had "a scheme" to work some one, has been, and is today, felt upon the progress of the race. It has had the effect of causing the colored people to lose confidence, one in the other, in a business way, and has caused the whites to feel no less so. What these people need is not the "smooth of tongue" Negro politicians and fake "campaign sheet" vender, but staying qualities, honesty and business methods. The time is too far spent and the racket is too old for the grafters to longer feast on an ill gotten spoil at the expense of the honest colored people of Wichita. An old saying is: "It is hard to learn an old dog new tricks" equally true is it for an old, time worn and well known "gag" worker to further ply his "old time gags" of working the people of this city. They must bear in mind what Abraham Lincoln said, "You can fool all the people sometime' some of the people all the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time." WICHITA, KANSAS, MAY 3, 1902. NEWTON S. BRIDGEMAN. THE SEACHLIGHT presents in this column a short sketch of Newton S. Bridgeman, candidate for the office of Clerk of the District Court of Sedgwick county, subject to the republcan county convention. Mr. Bridgeman is no stranger to that office, having efficiently filled that of fice in 1894-95. "Newt," as the boys all ca'l him, is noted for his sociability, his genial happy disposition and his honesty and uprightness. He was born in Morgan county, Illinois, Feb. 1, 1853. He was raised on a farm till the age of 17, when he entered Lincoln University in Logan county, of that state. He spent four years in that institution when he engaged for a time in the lumber business then returned to the farm as his presence and care were necessary to an invalid father. He tended the farm in season and taught school in the winter until 1882, when Dr. Sargent, now of this city, the family physician advised them to move to Kansas in order to save Mr. Bridgman's life, as he could not live in that climate. They settled in Minneha township, Sedgwick Co when they removed to this city in 1894. Newton S. Bridgman's life has been continual struggle for the support of his aged parents and family, and with the loyalty of family pride and love of parents which characterizes all honorable men he worked and struggled, as all the neighbors konw, amidst the unfavorable conditions all have experienced in Kansas. In all these years of farming and laboring to build a home and support in comfort his aged parents, he maintained a high standard of respectability and business confidence with the people of his neighborhood and Sedgwick county. While he was an earnest worker in the ranks of republicanism, he held the respect of his neighbors of opposite political opinions because he was free of fanticism and prejudice, acting independently of cliques and rings, for what he considered the best interests of his tovnship, county and state. In all his relations with men in business, in politics, in society and in church he has been honorable, and no stain can be shown upon his record as a citizen and as a man. Mr Bridgman comes before the party for the nomination as Clerk of the D'srrict Court at their hands and offers as a recommendation his most efficient service while in that office before. He iis a strong man and will add strength to the whole ticket. He is a staunch republican and a warm friend of the colored voters who will testify to that fact. Mr. Bridgman is in the race to win and, if nominattd will, make a winning race. At Rest. Sunday morning about the hour of 4 o'clock, the mysterious and pale messenger of death visited the home of Mrs. Clatie Hulcy, who had come to our city but two weeks prior, and was residing with her sister and brother in-law, Rev. and Mrs. B Morris, 925 N. Wichita St., and read to her in unmistaken tenes the summons of her maker, the Creator of Heaven and earth; this summons called her to answer before the bar of God. Man has received such summons since the days of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, yea' and man will continue to receive such summons till the earth shall be no more. The many who have received a like summons are too innumerable for the frail mind of man to comprehend. Truly, then, "Man born of woman is of a few days and full of trouble; he cometh forth as a flower and is cut down." The coldicy, silencing firm and un-erring hand of Death was firmly laid on the brow of this daughter, sister, wife, mother and christian—to have pushed it aside till "some more convenient day" was not within the power of frail humanity—and Mrs. Hulcy silently odeyed. She is not dead, but sleepeth. She has only paid a debt that every human owes, and which, cre long, all must pay. She has only preceded her loved ones a few days and has but gone to prepare for their coming. As she has gone, so have thousands, yea, tens of thousands and millions multiplied by millions have gone the self same way. Mrs. Hulcy came to Wichita on April 13th from her home in Kansas City, Ks., for the purpose of bettering her health. She seemed to have rallied some what for the first few days, but soon relapsed; she again rallied and was doing nicely when Saturday afternoon, April 26th she took her bed again and died at 4 oclock Sunday morning. Mrs. Hulcy was born Nov. 10, 1873 and was 28 yrs., 4 mes. and 17 days old at the time of her death. She leaves a husband, two children, one boy and one girl, a sister, a brother and scores of relatives and friends. She was a good christian woman.

We have never, and may God grant we never will, attempt to aseume the tyranical role of a dictator or to eet ourzelves up as the “god-heud’” and self-estabiiehed“lead- er” or “‘king.” What we heve done, what we have said for the good cause of onr race was not, and is not said from a vain epirit, but is said and done from a sincere desire to gee our pecple climb the ladder of enceess and progress, round by round until they have reached the summitt. We do not make any claim to any great reward; but we simply work in the interest of our people because we love them and delight in their success. In our work, in this line, wedo not claim that we have pleased every one, neither do we claim that at all times we have done what some ‘one else might have done:, but what we have done was with a sincere motive and was what we thought best.

Of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, says Leslie's Weekly the following: "If proof were needed that the color line is not drawn at Harvard University it is furnished by the election of Roscoe Conkling Bruce to be class orator at the next commencement. One of the members-elect of the Massachusetts House of Representatives is a Cambridge lawyer, a colored man, who was a famous football player when in the university. Mr. Bruce's name recalls that fact that his father was once connected with the Treasury Department at Washington, and like many other colored men, cherishing not only admiration but affection for the oratorical Senator from New York. The coming orator of the Harvard seniors is highly gifted. He is a prize debater. He has force and fluency, and is one of a series of colored men whom Harvard has graduated who have ranked well as lawyers, debaters, orators, and who have identified themselves honorably and effectively with politics. The fame that Mr. Bruce has attained in college is a prophecy of what he will become after graduation, unless his proves to be a case where distinction means extinction in the world at large. There is no reason for expecting such result." ABILENE, KANSAS. Rev. Cox filled his stand at the 2nd Baptist Church Sunday. Mr. R., L.

Neither would thousands of others. We refer to Vogeler's Curative Compound; it does so much good and seems to reach every form of stomach trouble, that people have found that it is the one true specific. And what are stomach troubles? The easiest answer is that three-quarters of all the diseases and ailments which affect us proceed from one form or another of stomach trouble. Indigestion is one of the worst and most prevalent forms, but Vogeler's Curative Compound cures indigestion. Here is one instance: Mr. W. Bowell, of 34, Priory Street, Winchester, Col., writes: "I wish to state that my wife has been taking Vogeler's Curative Compound for a long time, and it is the only thing that has done her any real good for indigestion, in fact nothing would induce her to be without a bottle now." When we stop to seriously consider the fact, that this great remedy is made from the formula of one of the most eminent living London physicians, it is no wonder that people who have happily experienced the benefit to be derived from its use, will not now be without it at any cost.

Tillery of this place says is true—and none who know him doubt his honesty—the new remedy Dodd's Kidney Pills is a wonderful medicine indeed. Mr. Tillery says: "I had Kidney and Liver Trouble for years. I had used many medicines but could get nothing to cure me. "I heard of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills and began a treatment with the result that I was very soon on the mend. "I kept on using the pills and am now entirely better. I honestly do believe that they are the greatest remedy the world has ever seen. "I am always willing to help a good thing and I cannot say too much for one that helped me so much. "If I didn't know that Dodd's Kidney Pills would do all that is claimed for them I wouldn't say a word of praise for them." It may sound funny, but floating debts are usually what sink a corporation.

This remedy strikes at once the very root of the disease. It at once relieves the catarrhal kidneys of the stagnant blood, preventing the escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions which are sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain. It gives great vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which apt to fail rapidly in this disease. Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
