In life's book Mark these two Little words: "Don't" and "do." —Detroit Free Press. WHAT THEN? Isn't it funny that some people cannot stand good treatment? There are some people whom you cannot treat as human. Trea them right, act fair, upright and honest with them and your reward is daggers from their poisonous and swaggering tongues. Such persons are more like animals than human. They are fonder of the lie than they are of the truth; they prefer that the lower and baser part of man be uppermost. We have often wondered why this exists in some, and we frankly confess that we are unable to find a reason, unless it be the case, that those persons are f eaks of the better part of humanity. Nothing is so vexatious as the fellow who sees no good in his fellow man. Such a man is void of that common sense which God gave geese, and he is infinitely more to be pitied than laughed at. --- Proper employment for the colored boy and girl that are being turned adrift in the world by thousands yearty is what is needed. It will help as nothing else will. Why not agitate for a home for ex-slaves rather than for a pension? The former is a possibility. The continued agitation for pensions for ex-slaves means racial friction. Agitate homes for the indigent, work for the able. Shelbyville, Ind is the only little city in the state of 8,000 inhabitants that has a colored fire department. Nothing has ever been said about it, but the city "dads" have the highest praise to say of their worthiness. The company was organized in 1884. Business men who want the patronage of colored people advertise in the race publications. Bear this in mind and give the preference to our advertisers when making purchases. Our columns show who want your trade. The advertisements are a standing invitation to you to visit the stores. Don't fail to go when you want any thing. Dr. Claude G.

On Thursday, June 5, 1902, the Republican County Primaries will be held. At these primaries, delegates will be elected to the County Convention which will be held on Saturday, June 7. The primaries and the Convention promise to be quite interesting and all should take an interest in both. The State Convention held in Wichita, May 28, 1902, will go down in in the history of Kansas as being the most important and largely attended ever held in the state. Rev A. C. Terrell will leave for Hutchinson. Tuesday morning where he will attend the Sunday School Convention and th District Conference. He will return Wednesday. The selection of Hon. B. H.

While assisting boiler makers by accident a big sliver about $ \frac{3}{4} \times 2 $ inches was driven entirely through his left hand. It was by the merest good luck that his whole hand was not torn from the wrist. He went at once to a doctor who dressed the ugly looking wound and we are glad to say that now he is mending slowly. We made a call at the home of our friends, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. White Saturday and had a royal time. Our friend, Jacob McAfee, is certainly keeping the :corrt lawn in fino shape.

Dan Boone will be renominated County Treasurer by acclamation. W, R Keeler will, no doubt, walk away with the nomination as County Surveyor. There is much speculation as to who will receive the nomination for clerk of the District Court. J. H. Jackson, of Crawford Co., is one of the very prominent colored men of the third district. A. D. Taylor is working industrially for the nomination of Supt. of Public snstruction. He is capable. Jno, M Chain, as County Clerk and Judge T. C. Wilson, as Probate Judge, will have no opposition for renomination. It is conceded by all that Billy Pierce is making a strong race for the nomination of Register of Deeds. Billy's friends claim they have received a "tip" that Bill has the inside track and will win "hands down." Henry Schad, having received the endorsement of the Old Soldiers' Union and the Old Soldiers' Republican club for the nomination of sheriff, and also having the good will of the majority of his acquaintances, is a most formidable candidate for that office. OUR FOURTH YEAR. This issue of the Searchlight is the beginning of our fourth year of publication in Kansas. We have planned many new and novel features for our paper during the coming year which will add greatly to it as a vender of the latest and most up-to date race news. It is our intention to continue the addition of feature by feature till Wichita will have a paper of national route. Today we are proud to say that our paper has found its way in some home in nearly every state in the Union, and is read regularly in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Phillippines, Canada and England; so you see, the Wichita colored paper is by no means a strictly local paper. We hope to place it in the homes of every colored family in Kansas during the present year; we want 10,000 new subscribere and we will ask every friend of the paper no matter where located to send the name and money of one friend who will become a subscriber. We are doing our part, now will you do yours? We ask of our friends their full support in the future as they have given us in the past. If this is done we can accomplish great things for the race. Every body can do something. Will every body help? Our efforts are for the race, to elevate it. Can any object be higher, grander or more noble? Let us come together r as a people and great will be the resultr to the race. PEERLESS STEAM LAUNDRY Best Laundry in the City 155-159 N. Market St. Phone 232 SELOVER & SONS. Props. B.F.

SUFFERED 25 YEARS With Catarrh of the Stomach Pe-ru-na Cured. Congressman Robert of Witfield, Esq. In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman, Congressman Botkin says: "My Dear Doctor—It gives me pleasure to certify to the excellent curative qualities of your medicines—Peruna and Manalin. I have been afflicted more or less for a quarter of a century with catarrh of the stomach and constipation. A residence in Washington has increased these troubles. A few bottles of your medicine have given me almost complete relief, and I am sure that a continuation of them will effect a permanent cure."—J. D. Botkin. Mr. L. F. Verdery, a prominent real estate agent of Augusta, Ga., writes: "I have been a great sufferer from catarrhal dyspepsia. I tried many physicians, visited a good many springs, but I believe Peruna has done more for me than all of the above put together. I feel like a new person."—L. F. Verdery. The most common form of summer catarrh is catarrh of the stomach. This is generally known as dyspepsia. Peruna cures these cases like magic. 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.

Not infrequently a young woman finds it necessary to launder a shirt waist at home for some emergency when the laundryman or the home servant cannot do it. Hence these directions for ironing the waist: To iron summer shirt waists so that they will look like new it is needful to have them starched evenly with Defiance Starch, then made perfectly smooth and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be laid away two or three hours. When ironing have a bowl of water and a clean piece of muslin beside the ironing board. Have your iron hot, but not sufficiently so to scorch, and absolutely clean. Begin by ironing the back, then the front, sides and the sleeves, followed by the neckband and the cuffs. When wrinkles appear apply the damp cloth and remove them. Always iron from the top of the waist to the bottom. If there are plaits in the front iron them downward, after first raising each one with a blunt knife, and with the edge of the iron follow every line of stitching to give it distinctness. After the shirt waist is ironed it should be well aired by the fire or in the sun before it is folded and put away, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. I Feel So Tired.

H. P. Betmont Has Pearls Once Worn by Marie Antinette. The three families of enormous wealth that with the addition of the Rockefeller, constitute the most widely known of American multimillionaires, do not monopolize the splendid jewelry owned in the metropolis; but it would be wearisome to name, piece by piece the gems of even a few of the remaining hundreds of well-known women in New York's most exclusive society. Glazing hastily around the circle, one is forced to recall, nevertheless, such quaint or costly and beautiful bits of bijouterie as Mrs. T. Suffern Tailer's diamond chrysanthemum, sometimes fetchingly worn at her shoulder; Mrs. Pelmont Tiffany's point lace fan, one studded with various jewels, the stick of the other bearing her initials set in diamonds; Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt's necklace of 170 diamonds; Mrs. Frederick W. Vanderbilt's diamond-bodied and ruby-eyed serpent that half encircles its owner; Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay's sapphire, the most perfect and beautiful known in the world, and Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont's chief treasures, her string of pearls, once worn by Marie Antoinette, and an overwhelmingly gorgeous chain of diamonds, seven and a half feet in length, formerly owned by the Empress Catherine of Russia. The pearl jewelry of Mrs. Perry Belmont, formerly Mrs. Henry Sloane says a writer in Alnslee's, is the most costly and beautiful in America, and the jewels of her niece, Mrs. James Abercrombie Burden, are noted for their splendor and bizarrerie. It is only half-rate people who ignore cost and shrink from calculation, says an intelligent woman who carries her intelligence into everything, the corners of her pantry and the depths of her flour barrel. In her opinion, you have no more right to cheat yourself out of the quality and quantity of good your income should yield than you should cheat your neighbor, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The comfort of knowing one is fairly dealt with is worth occasional trouble. All good dealers respect a customer who sees for herself to such matters. Too many shops will take advantage of a careless buyer, while they correctly deal with one who demands her dues. Short-nailed persons make good critics; they are sharper and more logical than long-nailed people, and usually more positive in assertion. There are people who will never admire you unless you fool them. $20 A WEEK AND EXPENSES to men with big to introduce our Petroleum goods. Sendpst. Javelle Mfg Co.,Dept.D,Parons,Kn.

"My husband consulted an old friend who had studied medicine although he was not a practising physician, and he said he believed that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound would be me. That same day I took my first dose, and I kept it up faithfully until twelve bottles had been used, and not only did the tumor appear, but my general health was very much improved and I not felt so well since I was a young woman.
