WESTERN CANADA'S IMMIGRATION. Rapid Settlement of the Wheat Fieldz Lying North of the 49th Parallel. (From the Chicago Record-Herald.) "Canada has anticipated a very heavy immigration this year, and she now has figures to show that she is actually getting it in a way to meet all her expectations. In the first four months of this year the doors of the Dominion opened to 40,672 persons, according to a report prepared by the committee on agriculture and colouzation of the Canadian parliament. This is almost twice as large as the immigration in the corresponding months last year, and fully three times as large as in 1901, the respective figures being 22,482 and 13,393. "Most of these newcomers have been attracted by the wheat lands of the Northwest territories. They have moved direct to Winnipeg and they have turned that city into a great camp, in which they have been fitting themselves out for the last stage of their adventure for new homes. "Of the immigration of this spring a little over a third has come from Great Britain, the figure being 16,457. This is three times as large as British immigration of the corresponding months of the preceding year, and it is within 2,500 of the number of immigrants that the United States attracted from Great Britain and Ireland in the same period this spring. As to the remainder of the immigration into Canada 13,700 settlers came from the United States, a 50 per cent increase over the preceding year, and 10,445 from Continental Europe, a 40 per cent increase. "These 40,672 immigrants into Canada may appear trifling in comparison with 297,070 persons who entered the United States in the same period, but they are proportionately more important to the country. Canada's population is one-fifteenth of ours, but her immigration is now two-fifteenth as large as ours. It is worth remembering also that Canada's immigrants are almost entirely Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic races, while our immigration is now two-thirds made up of Romance and Slav elements." "Speculation is natural as to the future of Canada in her relations to the United States when her Northwest territories are filled up, but the one absolutely certain fact of the near future is that the United States is to have a great competitor in the grain markets of the world." The above editorial article taken from the columns of the Chicago Record-Herald of May 26th, shows the condition of the Canadian immigration, which as pointed out, has had a constant growth—a marvellously increasing growth—for the past six or seven years, until this year, it is confidently assumed the increase to Canada's population, by way of immigration, will exceed 100,000. This is accounted for by the great agricultural resources which abound there. It is no fairy tale, but the mater-of-fact experience of the tens of thousands bear ample testimony to the wealth and riches in store for all who choose to accept of the opportunities offered.

CUPOLA SKETCHES By BYRON WILLIAMS An exchange admonishes woman to weep in memory of the man who invented the tissue paper dress pattern. He is dead; yet will his work live after him. Several hundred years ago some individual whose name Fate has since frowned upon invented a basque pattern. To this very day, in the rural districts, may be seen its likeness on feminine busts. What manner of forgetfulness, then, small cause our minds to wander from the man who originated the "complete tissue pattern in the latest style for 10 cents?" Between the two patterns there is a social chasm as bottomless as a Dante could conceive, and yet the parallel of constancy to each may be appropriately drawn. The tissue pattern develops furbelows and flouces wonderful even to the costumer's art. Its product is seen on the fashionable boulevards as frequently as the basque-pattern's polkadot vies in pastoral hamlets where Mirandy wears a calico sun-bonnet, and little Willie's sweater is a grain sack with holes for the neck and arms. In their strata of life each is invaluable. Without them are dressmakers' bills that mesmerize the bank account, put crimps in papa's whiskers and scare the romantic Montgomerys from the lamp of matrimony, lest they perish like pillars of salt in a cow-lick, sacrifices on the altar of love. The provident wife will never hesitate. She will use one or the other, and, incidentally, will not forget, figuratively, to drop a flower on the tomb of the man who invented the old basque pattern, or his more recent brother, the genus homo who conceived the tissue diagram. 999 "Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been barred from the New York school libraries. One by one the atrocious iconoclast is devasting old landmarks. Irving's to-day is being pushed aside by to-morrow, to be in turn usurped by its successor of the day after. It is even so with the sign boards we have been wont to read along the way; but in the laying waste not always is judgment used. The enemies who marched against "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the schools might better have leveled their ordinance against "Uncle Tom" on the stage. The book is a true picture of the civil war time; the play is a dwarf-child of deformity. There was a time when "Uncle Tom's Cabin," as shown in histrionic world was a masterful effort. To-day the best actor in the average "Tom show" is the donkey. It seems nothing sort of miraculous that the modern Simon Legrees are not decapitated on the spot. The late P. T. Barnum remarked, once upon a time, that the American people will "stand for" considerable, but the Simon of to-day is certainly considerable, and then some. There are others! Leave Uncle Tom in the school libraries, but in the interest of suffering humanity, bar him from the stage. ```markdown ``` The young woman who bet 1,000 kisses on election and lost to a young man grasping enough to claim the entire 1,000, is no longer the limit. In an Illinois town an editor ran for mayor. How he secured the nomination is not known, but it is presumed nobody was looking at the time. There lived in the place an amorous young woman who bet that an editor couldn't be elected to so important a civic position. So positive was she in her horoscopic analysis that she wagered a wheel-barrow ride with a young man of the town. The loser was to wheel the winner through the main street in a "mud" cart. The woman's foresight was not as good as her hindsight, and she lost, making good her bet after the horrid winner had insisted. A great crowd gathered to see the sight. Fancy a woman pushing a man-laden wheelbarrow the length of the business street! Those who saw the fiasco say she squared away nibly in the muddy street, spat on her hands, rolled up her—well, this thing has gone far enough! But it is surmised that hereafter she will be less positive in her powers of prophecy. 3 3 3 A bas! the race question! What shall we do with the "coon" song? Cheer up!

Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability, bordering upon Lysteria? Are your spirits easily affected so that one minute you laugh, and the next fall into convulsive weeping? Do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; sometimes loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy, with a tendency to cry at the least provocation? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Undoubtedly you do not know it, but in nine cases out of ten this is caused by some uterine disorder, and the nerves centering in and about the organs which make you a woman influence your entire nervous system. Something must be done at once to restore their natural condition or you will be prostrated for weeks and months perhaps, and suffer untold misery. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for this purpose than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; thousands and thousands of women have written us so. How Mrs. Holland, of Philadelphia, suffered among the finest physicians in the country, none of whom could help her—finally cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For over two years I was a constant sufferer from extreme nervousness, indigestion, and dizziness. Menstruation was irregular, had backache and a feeling of great latitude and weakness. I was so bad that I was not able to do my own work or go far in the street. I could not sleep nights. "I tried several splendid doctors, but they gave me no relief. After taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I soon began to feel better, and was able to go out and not feel as if I would fall at every step. I continued to take the medicine until cured. "I cannot say enough in behalf of Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and heartily recommend all suffering women to try it and find the relief I did."—Mrs. FLORENCE HOLLAND, 622 S. Clifton St., Philadelphia, Pa. (Jan. 6, 1902.) Another case of severe female trouble cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after the doctors had failed. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I was in poor health for several years. I had female trouble and was not able to do my housework alone. I felt tired, very nervous, and could not sleep. I doctored with several doctors. They doctored me for my stomach, but did not relieve me. I read in your book about your medicine, and thought I would try it. I did so, and am now cured and able to do my work alone, and feel good. I was always very poor, but now weigh one hundred and fifty pounds. "I thank you for the relief I have obtained, and I hope that every woman troubled with female weakness will give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I have recommended it to many of my friends."—MRS. MARIA BOWERS, Millersville, Ohio. (Aug. 15, 1901.) Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all of the virtues of this medicine? How shall the fact that it will help them be made plain? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and sick, and discouraged, exhausted with each day's work. You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. CORN COBS Have you any suitable for making cob pipes? I will pay $20 Cash for them.

In the first place, Margaret Little was “an authoress,” and that alone was an awe-inspiring circumstance. To be ablo to write stories which met with occasional acceptance; to have the postman sometimes bring her thin ‘be the grinning bearer of bulky pack- ages of rejected manuscripts, placed her on a plane above other women— in Jolin’s eyes. Not that she needed such placing, for it would be futile to chronicle the angelic qualities with whien he endowed her. Tne trouble with this endowment ‘process was that it was not disclosed to Margaret. John could write, and did write, letters teeming with sentt- ment. Of course, it was unfortunate that these letters were never sent. It ‘was more unfortunate that he found ‘himself unable to express in her pres: ‘ence the feelings which agitated his six feet of manhood. | He had made three attempts at proposal, each of which had ended in stammering confusion and dire fail- ure, and it is probable that the num- ber would have been extended in- Uofinitely, had not a rival appeared on the field. Anyone who showed Margaret the slightest attention was a rival in John’s view, and it seemed impossible that the editor of a New York maga- zine would come fifty miles to Schuy- Jerville for the sole purpose of con- sulting Margaret about a series of stories for his periodical. If this in- nocent purpose brought the editor, something emotionally attractive in Margaret’s pretty face must have in- duced his reappearance within a month, and it was during this second visit that John spurred himself to ac- tion. ‘On a June afternoon he deserted his desk and determinedly strode toward the Little homestead. His courage usually lasted until he passed the front gate, but on this occasion he was sur- prised to find it upholding him even atter he had reached the veranda. It evaporated when he rang the bell. A maid told him that Miss Little had gone for a walk with a gentleman from New York. This information, coming as arespite, at frst relieved John. ‘Then jealousy renewed his courage, and he boldly said he wished to leave a note for Margaret. In the matter of impassioned mis. sives John Kendall was no coward, and he sat at Margaret's little desk and dashed off a few glowing periods on a sheet of her manuscript paper. When the effusion was finished it proved satisfactory, being, in fact, a condensation of the others which he had left unsent. He folded it neatly, ‘and was reaching into a pigeonhole in ) B.

Across the orchard came Margaret and the editor. The latter—a small, blonde, bandscme mon—was walking close beside his contributor, and look- ing amilingly into her deautifnl eyes. After viewing the scene John was seized with panic at the thought of Margaret's reading his note immedi. ately, The next instant he was strid- ing away from the house, scattering bits of white paper to the June breezes. He did not see Margaret for a week, and during that time deep despair held him for its own. Then an urgent business affair led him to call on her dat y 4 TALL t | a , ef = ae) rc ee =| —* \ ae es \ \ a SS y Yq \ | .

He wondered if any of the torn bits of paper had been picked up and pieced together by Mar- garet, but he had scattered them so widely that that seemed impossible. Miss Little, who had transferred her gaze from the rose bush to her lover's face, seemed to enjoy its expression. Then John rocked violently in the veranda chair in the hope that the action would induce mental stimula- tion, but it did not, “Will you come with me for a mo- ment?” Margaret asked, rising and entering the house. John followed her to her study. There, on the little desk, was the pile of manuscript paper. Margaret took a note from the bosom of her dress, unfolded it slowly, and handed it to John. “There was a piece of carbon paper among the top sheets,” she said, “and this was unfer it,” and Jobn read an exact copy of the effusion he had ad- dressed to Margaret the week before. For a moment he looked helplessly at the note, then he glanced shyly down at Margaret, and the expression he saw in her eyes was entirely unlike that with which she had regarded the editor. It seemed to say, “Speak for your- self, John,” and had the stolid type- writer which stood on the desk risen to the occasion it would have added another love scene to its long list. In the home of Mr. and Mrs, John Kendall, in Schuylerville, is a den, and on one of its walls hangs a bit of black paper in a cilt frame.

I called an oarsman, and told him to return for me in an hour. “L wandered over the beautiful ship, admiring its guns, its keeping, its ad- mirable appointments and its excellent management, shown by its condition. At the en@ of my hour I began to look for my oarsman. Just then I discov- ered a door on my right. I opened it. and in that room sat thirty-two boys. Thad been there an hour and had not heard a stir enough to show that so much as a bird was alive on that boat. “The youngest cadet came to the door and welcomed me with his cor. ce military salute. ‘Boy, where is your teacher?” ‘Gone ashore, sir.’ “Do you keep absolute order while he is gone” ‘Certainly, sir.’ “Then passing to the front, I said to one of the older boys: | ‘Young man, why do you act so differently from cther boys? Are you afraid of being punished?” “The cadet rose to his feet. ‘Sir said he, ‘you see before you thirty- two cadets. We all expect to govern others in our future work. The first element of a good governor is self- government; sir, we are practicing that.’” The commodore added: “That was twenty-five years ago. In the provi- dence of God none of these young men have been called to eternity. I will now read you their names.” And the audience recognized in each man a name famous in the navy of Great Britain, Germany, France or America. —From “Washington: Its Sights and Insigifts.” ‘The Doa Around Town.

Among the Tartars of Central Asia there is a belief that one of their khans or chiefs was pre- served, long years ago, by the great horned owl. He had hidden in a thick- et to avoid capture by some enemies. By and by his pursuers came to this spot. The first thing they saw was an owl sitting on a bush. What did this mean? It signified, in their eyes, that this bird would not rest quietly there if any man were lying concealed close by. ‘Bherefore they argued that the khan could not be there, and so they hurried on to search for him alse- where. At nightfall the khan made his way to the camp of his men and told them how he had been saved from certain death. His story caused them ever afterward to look upon the owl with reverence and love. They wore its feathers in their caps as a pledge of victory. Judge Siebecker’s Unique Decision. Judge Siebecker of Wisconsin has displayed Solomon-like wisdom in some of his decisions. Two men.ap- peared before him. One was a butcher, who claimed that the defendant owed him $10 for a meat bill. The defend- ant, a strikingly thin and gaunt figure, denied the bil. Statements and coun- terstatements followed each other with great rapidity. The lie was passed, but the constable intervened, “When was this meat purchased which you sold the defendant?” asked the judge. “During the past four weeks, your honor,” declared the butcher. “Then I decide this case in favor of the defendant,” remarked the judge, deliberately, as he scrutininzed the emaciated figure before him. “His ap- pearance indicates that he has not eaten $10 worth of meat in his Iife- ‘time."”—Boston Post. i es es Popularity of the Circus.

The Tribune on Saturday gave prominence to a telegram from Corry, Pa. which ran thus: “Fire early to-day destroyed the old Horace Greeley homestead, six miles from here. In this house Mr. Greeley pnent the early years of his life.” All the years of Horace Greeley’s life up to the twentieth were spent in New Hampshire and Vermont. After he had taken to the road as a “jour” printer he visited his father, who had removed to the place near Corry, Pa., and worked on the farm there, a little, in the intervals of his typographical tasks. Not orly was the place in no sense Greeley’s early home, but he never really lived there. It was so little associated with his name that his friends and admirers, who knew his Yarkee beginnings well, never connected him with it at all. It was, however, long the home of that sturdy but unsuccessful and pa- thetic laborer and citizen, Zaccheus Greeley, his father, If there ever was a man hopelessly of the can't- get-along class, it was this unfortun- at> descendant of the New Hamp- shire Scotch-Irishman. —Industrious and willing, but a fauure in every- thing he undertook, Zaccheus was hounded for debt from place to place COULDN'T “SHOW OFF” THEN.

In Horace Greeley there was a good deal of his badly buffeted father after all.

"To Live and Let Live," is OUR Motto. There is no place in the state of Kansas where the colored people are making a more pronounced effort to secure neat homes than in Wichita. Every part of the city in which one may traverse will find some member of the race getting a home. This speaks well and makes an assertion of four years ago true that the colored people of Wichita can get good homes by applying a little energy and push to their efforts. We are certainly proud to see them acquiring homes as there is nothing which will so nicely place them on self-sustaining busis as the securing of homes. Let the good work go on. X X X We learn from the Odd Fellows Journal, that among the appropriations for charitable and other institutions made by the Pennsylvania legislature were the following to institutions of the race: Frederick Duglass Hospital, Philadelphia a, $12,000; Avery College, Alleghany City, $4,000; The Berean School, Philadelphia a, $4,000; Home for Colored Women, Pittsburg, $7,000. These institutions are governed in the interest of our race. XXX In addition the honors already won by John C. Derry, of McKeesport, the colorad lad who was graduated from the high school of that city with the highest grades ever attained, he has been chosen as the valedictorian of his class. Derry as chosen "Wendell Phillips" as his topic. He would have relinquished his last honor to one of his classmates, but the graduates insisted that he accept it. Derry has decided to take up civil engineering as a profession. Did you ask the merchant with whom you trade, whe her he "ads" in our paper? If not, why not? Insist upon it that he "ads" with us. We are not writing in the sand. The tide does not wash it out. We are not painting our pictures on the canvas and with a brush, so that we can erase the error of yesterday, or overlay it with another color to-day. We are writing our lives with a chisel on the marble, and every time we strike a blow we leave a mark that is indelible. Get a Searchlight, if you want: the news.

On Thursday eve of last week, June 4, Mr. J. W. Thompson and Miss Mattie Andrews were unit d in marriage at the home of the bride 724 N. Main, R. V. Yochum officiating. The wedding was a surprise to the many friends of the happy couple. It wa- ended, so quiet and so surprising that even the most intimate friends of neither of the contracting parties knew of it. After the marriage Mr. and Mrs. Thompson went to a party, to which they had been invited and yet none of those at the party were aware that a bride and groom of less than one hour were present. But when the friends became aware, then the fun began. Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Thompson moved to their new nest home 1402 North Mosley ave. where Mr. Thompson had prepared every thing for the comfort and convenience of his wife. Mr. Thompson is one of Wichita's most prominent and energetic young men and is a wide-awake hustler. His bride has long been r cognized as one of the best musicians and most prominent society ladies in Wichita. The Searchlight extends to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson its best wishes for much success, a happy and prosperous married life. CHURCH DIRECTORY St. Paul A. M. E. 521 N.

Richmond, Va., May 26 —The first step in the industrial development of the tobacco factory to be run by Negroes in every branch, nae ill purchase a factory now in operation and call it the 'Negroes Friend.'

President Carrington of the tobacco trade said this morning he saw no reason for the exclusion of the Negro from the tobacco market. "We will sell anything to a Negro representative of the new plant as long as he has money enough to pay for it." BANGOR, ME., June 10—Arthur D. Larkin, 30 years old, w. s. at his work in White Rock pressing hay last December, when he fell a distance of ten feet, striking on his head in such a manner that hv broke three joints of the vertebra of his neck. The injured man was removed to the Maine General hospital in Portland, where plaster cast was fitted to him, incasing the neck and body nearly to the waist. the greater part of the head except the face. He has had the cast removed every four weeks since the accident, physicians hoping that by this method the bones will unite, but on his visit to the hospital last week, when a critical examination was made, the physicians found that the bones showed no signs of reuniting and decided that an operation was necessary. Larkin suffers in his plaster cast, but his great courage and perserviance keep him alive. He has a wife and two children and for some time has had charge of light work on ma chinery by which he supports his family. He savs he will wear the cast all his life rather than submit io the surgeon's knife.

Beauty is only skin deep; but as the most of us do not possess X-ray eyes it passes muster very well. Grief needs no garb of woe; but you never can make the young widow to whom black is becoming believe it. It is a wise child that knows its own father; and it is a fortunate child that can be proud of the acquaintance if it is made. Man wants but little here below; but the women manage to maintain a respectable average of needs for all humanity. There are just as good fish in the sea as ever were caught; but the most of them will stay there for all of our hook and line. Truth erushed to earth will rise again; the trouble is that the audience so frequently cannot wait to see whether she does or not. The Psalmist remarked: "I said in my haste, All men are liars;" and it is noticeable that, after he had had time for due and leisurely consideration, he said nothing further on the subject; seemed to consider that more discussion of the topic was unnecessary.

De r Sir—As a colored citizen of Wichita I desire to congratulate you upon the beginning of your fifth year of constant publication of your gled, newsy paper—The Searchlight. For three years and nine months I have been a regular reader of the Searchlight, and during that time it has never missed an issue, this is a fact of which we as colored citizen's feel proud, and we wish to say to you that we are with you and we as colored people will remain with you in the future as in the past. Though our means are not great, yet, we will go with you --- WINFIELD, KAS. Messrs. James Nichols and Fred Wright played for a dance in Udall last Wednesday. Mr. Jesse Banks is in Iola and Chanute this week. Mr. Will Kibble is down from the northern part of the state. W. A. Wright and Pete Cements visited relatives and friends here on the 30th. The 2nd Baptist church here is still without a pastor. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Carrie Douglas of Winfield to Prof. Ed Thompson of Wellington. Mrs. Adolie Bass and Mr. George Smothers of Arkansas City were in town last Saturday. Mr. James Nichols left Sunday for Lafayette, Ind.; to work for Mrs Hines who formerly run the Brettun House here.

A man's strongest passion may be his weakest point. Patience and industry always con- stitute a winning team. Hope for the future is much better than regret for the past. A man who is totally destitute of ambitions may exist, but that's all. Theory is of but little value if you do not know how and when to apply it. When time hangs heavily on one's hands it is a hint for him to go to work. Self-denial is always reckoned among the strong points in a man's favor. Add together the zealot and the fool and you have, indeed, a dangerous quantity. AS YOU LIKE IT. It's the worthy people who want the earth. A happy medium—the jovial clairvoyant.

Passenger Agent, WICHITA Dr. Abernethy, a man proverbially intolerant of more fads and crochets, and yet a strong personal objection to sleeping in damp sheets. The Iron Duke (and it may be re-marked in passing that Lord Roberts of our own day has a similar aversion) would grow quite uneasy if shupe in the same room with a mad dog. Sir Walter Raleigh had a marked objection to prison life; and Lord Burleigh, his great contemporary, never liked to slip off a curbstone with his tongue between his teeth.—London Punch.
