Wichita Searchlight

Wichita, Kansas, Saturday Sept. 12, '03 It is generally hoped that the new toy trust will fail before Christmas. It is claimed that the Turkish army is demoralized. That is what Greece thought. If May Goelet doesn't get this duke, however, there are plenty of others that she knows. Real estate values in the vicinity of Mt. Vesuvius must be discouragingly low just now. Isn't stealage a better word than shortage when used in connection with a bank robbery? Turkey can't tell Macedonia to get a reputation before fighting it. It produced Alexander the Great. China should be careful how it leaves its navy around where merchant vessels can bump into it. The wife who is seeking a divorce from "one of the nicest of men" surely cannot expect to find a nicer orce. Some of the managers are afraid Patti may not come to make another farewell tour. They don't know Patti. And now the American mule is threatened by the German zebrula! This calls for the most vigorous sort of a kick. We understand that Harry Lehr thinks that the newspaper reporters who describe his idiosyncracies are real mean. Every American lady is a queen in her own right. Have you noticed the ladies' combs? They begin to look like crowns. A company of Chicagoans is going to work the Brazilian diamond fields if the glass trust does not get out an injunction. The Apple Shippers' Association estimates the 1903 crop at 48,614,000 barrels. The apple pickers are going to have a busy fall. If the czar could only be convinced that reforms should begin at home what a lot of places there are for him to get in his work! Perhaps some day the $75,000 company just organized at Memphis to make pants, jumpers and overalls will add trousers to the list. A Chicagoan gave his bride that old gag about the biscuits mother used to bake, by way of invidious comparison. He is in the hospital. An automobile has wrecked a locomotive in Switzerland. Thus is the British parliament justified in its classification of the horseless machine. A woman in Washington has received license to run an engine, but as it is a stationary engine there seems to be no danger of her running over anybody. The statement is going the rounds of the press that Sara Bernhardt will be 59 years old in October next. But isn't it sort of mean to tell on a lady that way? The discovery of a counterfeit of the $1 silver certificate will interest a great many more people than the recent announcement of the counterfeiting of a $5 bill. · Nicholas of Russia is getting after the suitant with a stick that seems to have a pretty sharp point. Go it, Nick. Here's a case in which we are all ready to wish you well. A Philadelphia claims to have discovered the secret of making gold from baser metals. We knew Philadelphia was considered a sleepy town, but we didn't know they had dreams like that there. A young clergyman of New York state, who happened to be a good checker player, won a bride and freed his church from debt by defeating the local champion after the latter had defeated his father-in-law. A former Columbia instructor has just written a book in forty days while fasting. Men have written books before and men have fasted forty days, but Mr. Wellington Putnam "holds the belt" for combining these feats. There is a new animal called the 'zebral.' It is a compromise between the horse and the zebra, but is striped like the latter, and, if it is all that is claimed for it, the zebral will knock the spots off the army mule. Now the farmers of New York are complaining that their crops are going to waste because it is impossible to hire help. Presently it will be necessary for the government to offer a bounty for every farm hand who can be captured. The stowaway on the Cedric who had only a biscuit and a flask of rum and four onions to sustain life with on the way across the ocean couldn't had had a sweet-smelling breath when he reached New York, but he was nicky to have any breath at all. Oscar II, King of Sweden, is one of the monarchs who is not of royal descent. He is great-grandson of Jules Bernadotte, who was one of Napoleon's most notable generals, and who was elected to the throne of Sweden in 1810, becoming king in 1818 under the name of Charles XIV. Indeed, he is the only monarch Napoleon set up who is still represented on a throne. Among living sovereigns there is An Inla An Inland Lake. undoubtedly no more talented or gifted monarch than King Oscar. If proof were needed in support of this assertion, his majesty's 70th birthday last year furnished it in the most unmistakable and complimentary manner, for the universities of many countries on that occasion conferred more degrees upon King Oscar than have, it is believed, ever before been held by any one individual, let alone a king. King Oscar is a poet, a historian, a writer on military and, perhaps more especially, naval matters, a great lover of and authority on music, and an orator of singularly wide and comprehensive range both as regards subject and language. As a speaker he is possessed not only of the happy gift of saying the right thing at the right time and place, but of endowing his utterances with a rare, at times most dramatic, eloquence. The king is also a journalist of merit, and it is authoritatively stated that he occasionally contributes to more than one paper articles on various subjects. A man possessing these faculties is excellent company, quite independent of the charm which proverbially clings to royalty. He is a first-rate host, active and attentive, and although of the stateliest imaginable presence—there is altogether a considerable amount of lancien regime state about the Swedish court—his majesty moves about in his salons with almost youthful vivacity, having a kind word for everybody and in the guest's own language. King Oscar walks in the streets of his capital, often unattended; he visits the theaters, attends all athletic and military tournaments, and loves nothing so well as to board his yacht, the Drott, and be off to Marstrand, or some other quiet seaside resort, before his court officials know that he contemplates the trip. His constant companion is Capt. ```markdown ``` Lake Briksdalen Protected Bay on Swedish Coast Aukenkorn, who has been by the side of his king everywhere and at all times for nearly sixty years. The king's great love for his country and countrymen was abundantly proven to the writer of this article, who in 1901 had the honor of visiting his majesty upon the Drott. The king's first question, upon learning that his visitor was an American, was: "What sort of citizens do my countrymen in your northwest territories make?" "The best we have, your majesty," was the natural answer. Whereupon, his face beaming, the king answered: "That delights me immensely—more than I can tell you." can hold his company. Prince Oscar bereed, renounce throne to man maids, and he is Bernadotte. He is deeply intolerant Army, he and speaking before Found The Brunswick the discovery in that vicinity unusual phone occupying one fore in all his King Oscar, thanks to his peasant origin, is a superb specimen of manhood, and, in point of stature, appearance and intellect, the most majestic figure among the monarchs of Europe. He married Princess Sophia of Nassau, daughter of a race whose blood has been vitiated by a long succession of consanguineous marriages, and his children have inherited neither his physical nor intellectual qualities. King Oscar is not ashamed of the grandmother who took the peasant's pence in exchange for the wine of the south, before Napoleon's marshal, Bernadotte, happened by the little inn and carried her away on horseback. The comparative promiscuity of the 5 o'clock suits King Oscar well. He hates pomp and cere- nd Lake. mony, and there's very little of it to bore him there. The Queen of Sweden has of late years been somewhat of an invalid, although her majesty is able to take outdoor exercise on horseback. Queen Sophie is the true and faithful friend of all in trouble, and her work in the cause of charity is manifold and comprehensive—work in which her royal husband often helps her. The queen only rarely attends court functions, her tastes lying more in the direction of homely quietness. She is a great reader of books and papers, and exceedingly clever at artistic needlework. Their majesties have four sons, but no daughters. The crown prince, Gustavus, is tall, and is, like his father, the king, a good sportman and a capital shot, but more retiring and reserved in manners and tastes. The crown princess, a cousin of the German emperor, is delicate, and, to the great sorrow of the royal family and loyal Stockholm—the beautiful capital of Sweden loves a court and all that thereto appertains—she has of late years been compelled to spend a great portion of the year in more southern climes. Their royal highnesses have three fine boys, who promise to grow tall like their father and grandfather. Prince Oscar, the king's second son, renounced his right to succession on the occasion of his romantic marriage, and he and his wife have more and more withdrawn from court life. But Prince Carl, the soldier prince, and his charming wife, nee Princess Ingeborg of Denmark, are extremely popular. Prince Eugene, the youngest of their majesties' sons, has inherited his full share of the Bernadotte talents. Like his uncle, the late King Charles XV. of Sweden, he wields the brush, and is passionately fond of his art. He has studied under the masters of Paris and elsewhere, and THE LOCAL LAND OF THE LOCAL LAND can hold his own even in the best company. Prince Oscar, it will be remembered, renounced his rights to the throne to marry one of the queen's maids, and he is now known as Prince Bernadotte. He is very religious, and is deeply interested in the Salvation Army, he and his wife, frequently speaking before the meetings. The Brunswick, Me.

Dead Stock Possibilities Saturday morning I had a 10 a. m. appointment with a Chicago man and he had telephoned that he would be an hour late. After debating in my mind and waiting twenty minutes I decided to borrow paper and find a desk and start this subject. After writing a few words a man came in and laid a package on the desk and began talking-with a man at a nearby desk. Thinking he used the desk I was at I left it and again sat down on the callers' couch by the elevator door and before I had written a minute there, my 10 a. m. man walked i n at 10:25. Now, I had reasoned that as he had been detained beyond 10 a. m. he might be released before 11 a. m. and he was. When he came in he politely explained and as he had a man with him he said he would see me in a moment. Soon he came out and invited me into his office, saying that he could give me a half hour. It took us about fifteen minutes to advance our subject a step and make another appointment for 10 a. m. Monday. I got there seven minutes late that morning, and he was much later, but I got at this letter again. Now politeness pays. Had I been indifferent to the man who put the bundle on the desk Saturday morning I would not have seen my man when he came in. Inquiry pays also, because just now by more thorough inquiry than I made on coming in, I find my man is sick at his home and not likely to be down this a. m. Waiting time is "dead stock" time and it pays to be able to invest it by thinking or writing. The skillful handling of irritating things produces pearls—even an oyster knows that. A foundry salesman on the road told me if he had to wait two or three days to see his man he got so rattled that he seldom added anything in that town that trip. If he had studied how to use his time aight while he waited he might have made an extra good sale. While speaking to some men at the Ravenswood association I asked the secretary if he had any cards which were printed on only one side and which he intended to throw away. He said yes, and got a bundle for me. I passed them out to the men, explaining that the cards were known as "dead stock" in the stock room and that we could bring them to life, and as I talked to them I wanted them to write some thought or question on the back of the cards for my work. Then I collected the cards and secured some information personally useful to me. I have rescued a strong catalogue from the waste basket and turned it into a $25 scrap-book. All of us see, hear, read and think of things every day which are worth saving and exchanging with other people. There is such a thing as "dead stock" ideas, latent or idle in your head, note book, or in bundles of papers and magazines which you frequently throw away and it is an occasional rescue of such a one you are invited to make for your continued growth, the benefit of others and the success of The Arcade Index which is an index to indices—a continually growing, unpublished guide to the most reliable sources of up-to-date information on any personal, mechanical, industrial, commercial and professional subject Very old men with young hearts have always interested me. When I began studying the daily sources of desirable longevity my interest in the healthy-elderly increased. A few weeks ago I met in a Chicago bank a six-foot-six gentleman who had been enjoying life for nearly eighty years. After telling him about my new interest in longevity forces and asking him for a talk on the subject, he replied: "Well, you have struck me at a bad time, I am going East to night for three months." On suggesting that he might give me in a minute a few hints for young men, he told me this: "Extreme regularity in eating, sleeping and working have been my rule. My Sunday is not as regular as other days and I do not feel as well on account of it." On a previous occasion he had told me that he ate what he liked and wanted and that he had not lost an office day on account of sickness in forty-five years. He was a healthy man and enjoyed wholesome food. He had high motives and a shining face. He made money and used it wisely. You can appreciate my intense feelings when I read that a few days ago he was killed by a train while crossing a track in an Eastern town. Collected Paragraphs. Thomas A. Edison says: "I believe the life of a man can be prolonged. Man ought to live to be a hundred years of age." The Chicago Record says: "Within less than thirty years the average duration of life has nearly doubled in Chicago." One doctor says: "Good care has more to do with longevity than inherited qualities." Another doctor says: "Hard work seldom kills—it doesn't wear us out very fast, but it is the running constantly and the overstrain of one part that causes the trouble." A jolly old centenarian said: "Stop when you have eaten enough." An educator says: "Becoming thoroughly interested in a good spare-time hobby is very likely to improve one's health and lengthen life." "As long as the world has existed mankind has been searching ways to lengthen life. Sensible people nowadays think the best elixir of life is fresh air, sunshine, the right kind of food and a good temper." "Dr. Holmes thought a mortal sickness an element of longevity, and it is true that serious weakness is not only frequently coupled with great ability, but with unusually long living also." Sickness is intended to be one of life's stepping stones and a kind warning, but frequently it, by perversion, becomes a millstone around a human neck. More machinery is jerked out than worn out, and many more men are executed by useless hurry and worry than are consumed by necessary duties. Discriminate, as suggestions useful to the sluggish are unreliable for the excitable. Even a locomotive must take a rest, but it is better for it to run too far than to rest too long. Keeping well is like walking a tight rope. You can fall off either way, and one side is as dangerous as the other. Find your weak spot, as a correct knowledge of yourself is an essential in taking good care of yourself. Now, the question of all questions is how to do as well as you know how and keep cheerful till moving day when we say good-bye to bones and muscles.

Some of the smartest men in the world have defeated each other's best life work by foolish and much regretted strife over little things. It does not pay to fight when diplomacy can win. SUFFERED FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. Completely Restored to Health. Mrs. P. Brunzel, wife of : Brunzel, stock dealer, residence 3111 Grand Ave., Everett, Wash., says: "For fifteen years I suffered with terrible pain in my back. I experimented with doctors and medicines but got little if any relief. I actually believe the aching in in my back and through the groin became worse. I did not know what it was to enjoy a night's rest and arose in the morning teeling tired and unrefreshed. My 1 suffering sometimes was simply indescribable. Finally, I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised and got a box. After a few doses I told my husband that I was feeling much better and that the pills were doing me good. When I finished that box I felt like a different woman. I didn't stop at that, though. I continued the treatment until I had taken five boxes. There was no recurrence until a week ago, when I began to feel miserable again. I bought another box and three days' treatment restored me to health. Doan's Kidney Pills act very effectively, very promptly, relieve the aching pains and all other annoying difficulties. I have recommended them to many people and will do so when opportunities present themselves.

In the Gartenkirchhof, Hanover, is a grave covered by a mighty stone, on which an inscription appears to the effect that the grave should never be opened by human hands. The seed of a birch fell through a crack in the stone, and, developing to a large tree, opened the grave in its upward growth. The tree has now withered and decayed. When it is removed the grave will again be closed. Future Sources of Oil. The Roumanian petroleum field is almost exhausted and that of Galacia falling off.

"My improvement on Grape-Nuts food was so wonderful that I concluded to use your food drink Postum in place of tea and to make a long story short.

CONSUMPTION GOMPERS SPEAKS OF PARRY GOMPERS SPEAKS OF PARRY Says When Strikes End Better Feelings Are Engendered. RIDICULES PARRY'S STAND. Indianapolis, Sept. 9. — President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor spoke here to 15,000 people. At the close of his speech he turned his attention to D. M. Parry, president of the National Manufacturers' association. He said Mr. Parry had constituted himself the savior of society and civilization. His references to Mr. Parry were from the standpoint of ridicule: Said he in closing: "A strike may bring about strife and discord, but as soon as it is ended better feelings are engendered, mutual respect is brought about. I don't think I would care to have a strike in Mr. Parry's factory, but I don't believe it would be an unmixed evil, for he might learn the lesson that Mr. Buer has learned—that there is something to arbitrate, to discuss, to concede. "Organized labor has no feeling against Mr. Parry. It has no design against his life, his children or the safety of his property. He is as safe from labor as is President Roosevelt. "I will challenge Mr. Parry to a debate upon the labor question and the labor movement, not necessarily before a great public gathering, although I will do that if it please him, but am willing to meet him in debate before any economic association that he may select. I will meet him before the Indianapolis ministerial association or the manufacturers' association of that or any other city in America. I challenge him to submit the report that he prepared for the last convention at New Orleans to the next convention of the Manufacturers' association and ask the convention to endorse all he said in that report. He knows that the National Manufacturers' association will not be committed to such an unjustifiable and unreasonable attack on organized labor." Slr Thomas' Dinner Speech. New York, Sept. 7. — During the making of a dinner speech Sir Thomas Lipton said: "America is a very hard country to beat and I know it. I am a very much disappointed man, but still I have the consolation that both conquerors and conquered belong to the same good old race. The cup is still in the family, only it is held by a younger and go-ahead generation. "I am sure that as the days and years roll by these contests will not have been held in vain if they make us realize that wherever we are all the world over we shall 'brithers be for a' that." Ordinary Conditions Reversed Ordinary Conditions Reversed. Kansas City, Sept. 8.—The coal strike in northeast Missouri has produced a reversal or ordinary strike conditions. By defying the authority of the national organization the miners have barred themselves from drawing strike benefits. But the Southwestern Coal Operators' association has assumed the responsibility of indemnifying the operators for losses sustained during the present fight and it is the operators who will draw strike benefits. Prostrations In London. London, Sept. 5.—This city has felt the hottest day of the year in London. The maximum was only two degrees under the highest point reached this year. Only a few days ago the temperature fell to within an approachable distance of the freezing point, so that the sudden change was felt to an exceptional degree. Many cases of prostration were reported. An Untested Law Point. Peoria, Ill., Sept. 7—J. R. Wagner, who in April consigned a train of corn to Chicago, which was delivered five days after its arrival, corn dropping four cents meantime, has sued the Chicago & Alton railway for damages. Wagner claims the corn should have been delivered promptly. His effort to hold the railway responsible for loss owing to the delay involves an untested point of law, it is said. Injured In a Runaway. Denver, Colo., Sept. 10.—Frightened by the flapping of the black trimmings on the hearse at a funeral-in Valverde the team attached to the next carriage in line ran away, the carriage was overturned and nine persons, four of them children, were injured.

Dennard, Ark., Sept. 7th. Mr. E. J. Hicks, merchant of this place, has written for publication, an account of a personal experience, which is very interesting. "I am an old Federal soldier," writes Mr. Hicks, "and shortly after the close of the war I was taken sick. I had aches, and pains all over me, fluttering of the heart and stomach trouble. I just simply was never a moment without pain. I could not sleep at night, and I was always tired and fearfully weak. "I took medicine all the time, but for a long time I was more dead than alive. Altogether I suffered for over twenty years, and I believe I would have been suffering yet, or in my grave, if I had not read of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I got an almanac which told me of this remedy, and I bought some of it. I started with three pills a day, but increased the dose to six pills a day. I had not used many till my pains began to disappear. I kept on and now I can sleep and eat as well as ever I could, and I feel like a new man, with no pains or aches left. "I will always recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they are a wonderful remedy." A man has reached the lowest possible depth when people cease to talk about him. COLD FEET IN SUMMER TIME.

The bishop of Durham complains that the English language will soon consist of nothing but slang and initials.

According to astronomers, the Star of Bethlehem, which conducted the wise men to the birthplace of Jesus, will appear once more in 1910 or 1911. Josephus, the Hebrew historian, speaks of this star, which is now known as Halley's comet, and since his time it has appeared on twenty-three occasions. Didn't Know She Was Home. "Can you speak English?" frantically asked an American woman, rushing up to the clerk of a New York postoffice. Having spent the last year traveling about Europe, this question had been the usual preliminary to all business transactions during that time, and from custom she repeated it here.—New York Tribune. "The use of anaesthetics in surgery," said a physician, "is regarded by the general public as a new thing, but anaesthetics, as a matter of fact, were known and used two thousand years ago. Pliny tells about a stone of Memphis that they crushed and mixed with vinegar. This poultry produced a local anaesthesia where it was applied."

Catarrh of any organ, if allowed to progress, will affect the whole body. Catarrh without nervousness is very rare, but pelvic catarrh and nervousness go hand in hand. What is so distressing a sight as a poor half-sick, nervous woman, suffering from the many almost unbearable symptoms of pelvic catarrh? She does not consider PATENTS PILES If afflicted with { Thompson's Eye Water gore eyes, use WHOS AFRAID W THANK PE-RU-NA FOR THEIR RECOVERY AFTER YEARS OF SUFFERING. Miss Muriel Armitage, 36 Greenwood Ave., Detroit, Mich., District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, in a recent letter, says: "I think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troubles public, but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel for the sake of other suffering women it is my duty to tell what Peruna has done for me. "I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried doctors from the different schools of medicine, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results if I would persist and take it regularly. I thought this was the least I could do and procured a bottle. I knew as soon as I began taking it that it was affecting me differently from anything I had used before, and so I kept on taking it. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely cured. I am a grateful, happy woman to-day."—Miss Muriel Armitage. Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic organs with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the head. Peruna has become renowned as a positive cure for female ailments simply because the ailments are mostly due to catarrh. Catarrh is the cause of the trouble. Peruna cures the catarrh. The symptoms disappear. herself ill enough to go to bed, but she is far from being able to do her work without the greatest exhaustion. This is a very common sight and is almost always due to pelvic catarrh. It is worse than foolish for so many women to suffer year after with a disease that can be permanently cured. Peruna cures catarrh permanently. It cures old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the only difference being in the length of time that it should take to effect a cure. 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.

He was born here. father and mother were born He is no more an African in- terior than the white man is a En- nui intruder--in fact, less so, did not come of his own free The Negro race was estab- lished here by the whites. It was made to be fruitful and multiply for the white man's profit. It was taught the very looseness of morality which is now the menace of white rural society in the South as an incident to the propoganda of human beasts at burden without family ties. Now the Negro is a citizen. The United States is his country, its flag is his. Who is going to expel him? What law is going to deprive him of his birthright? But pass ever all question of his right. Assume that justice is to be trampled upon, and that as he served here two centuries unwillingly for the benefit of a white oppressor, so he is to be expelled unwillingly at the convenience of the white man. How is it possible to put the sea between the races? There are nine millions of blacks in this country, and they are increasing rapid y. The exodus of any such multitude is almost inconceivable. Imagine gathering up all the people of New York and Pennsylvania and shipping them off somewhere to please the people of other states! Think of depopulating the whole United States as it was in 1820! The greatest migrations of prehistoric times would have been mere excursions of petty bands besides so g'gantic a movement. Several nations of Europe have tried by persecution to rid themselves of undesirable elements of our population. But wn'i they have succeeded in forcing a few hundred thousands to emigrate, more hundreds thousands remain and increase. The Negro race here increases so rapidly that it would more than make up for any probable decrease through immigration, no matter how syst matically it was encouraged. Moreover, the south would not tolerate its wholesale deportation any more than it would have tolerated in the days of slavery Its prosperity rests on the Negro. It must have his cheap labor. Deprived of him, it would demand coolies to take his place. It might get white men for all the trades now carried on by b'acks, but who would raise its corn, cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco? No! the Negro is in this country to stay. He is bone of its bone, flesh of its flesh. He may be a trouble and a problem But the trouble and the problem white man brought it on themselves, and their only hope is in facing the conditions they have made as they WICHITA. KANSAS.

The Supreme Grand Lodge, K of P., which met at St. Louis, was grand. The financial report showed that more than $127,000,000 was collected and that there was more than $75,000,000 in the treasury. The membership of the order is more than 52,000,000, while there is more than 6,000,000 in the Uniform Rank. Kansas was well represented. Her representatives were; Hon. B. Pope and Hon. James H. Guy, both of Topeka; Grand Chan. Jno. E. Lewis, as well as Hon. W. W. Plumb, of Topeka, and W. N. Miller, of this city. There were more than 1,000 men in Knight Uniform in the big street parade, which took place Thursday after—noon. The session lasted until Saturday and every one agreed that St. Louis had done well in enter—taining the thousands of visitors on this occasion. Mr. Geo. A. Clark, clerk of the district court returned Thursday after spending several days in Lincoln county, Kas. Mr. Marshall, accompanied by Mrs. Lee Anderson and Miss Lizzie Phelps, spent Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Miller. REVERSED. At the meeting of the Supreme Lodge K. of P. (colored) which met in the city of St. Louis, Mo., last week, the decision of the Sunflower Grand Lodge of Kansas, which suspended W. N. Miller for 90 years was reversed and Miller giveu his standing in that order again. Rev. P. D. Yoehum has the A. M. E. Church divided into two clubs one including classes 2, 4, 6, and the other, 5, 3 and 5. Both c'ubs are making efforts to raise $50, each to help the pastor prepare for Conference. The reception tendered Rev. S. M. Hall, the newly elected pastor of the 2nd Baptist church, Thursday night was one of the grandest events in the history of Wichita. Thijchurch was beautifully, daintly and tastefully decorated and every thing was in the best of style. The ladies had refreshment tables spread which were to a queen's taste. Rev. Hall was introduced to the large crowd present, and was seconded by Jas. Parker, who was introduced with him. The reception was grand. LOVEJOYED There are only three instances in American history which we are able at this time to recall, where a newspaper has been raided. In each instance the raid was brought on because the publishers dared to tell the truth and advocate right. The first instance was when in 1834 or 1835 the office of "The-Observer," an abolitionist paper, was raided by the friends of that curse to American soil—slavery. "The Observer" was published by Rev. E. P. Lovejoy, a very able and earnest abolitionist in Alton, Ill. The type and material was demolished and the press thrown into the river. No man need say of the good work done by Rev. Lovejoy in the interest of human liberty and freedom for the American slaves. The second instance was in 1880 when the office of 'The Living Way' published by Rev. M. C. Comtee (colorep) was raided by the enemies of the paper in Memphis, Tenn. The third instance was on the 10th of August, 1903, when the office of the Searchlight of Wichita was raided. Eaoh of these instances stand forth and go down in history as a few of the unparalleled American uses. Lincoln Day Club The memory of no man, white or black in all American history, should occupy a more exalted or a more loving place in the heart and mind of the American Negro, than should the name of Abaaham Lincoln. Though dead, his beneficial deeds in behalf of the Negro race in Amersica, still live. The splendid Negro race today, free, independent, industrious, self-sustaining, law-abiding and progressive, is a living monument of the beneficial deeds of one man—Abraham Lincoln. As Moses, in the days of old, led the children from under the bonds of the r tack masters and from the chains of slavery, so did Abraham Lincoln shake the shackles of slave from millions of slaves, and, in a day, made them freemen. With history and [the present progresive, free race as soleman witnesses, how could any self-respecting, race-loving or intelligent American Negro not bow in solemn and respectful reverence of the memory of such a man. It is not because he Emancipation Emancipation Day, Sept. 22nd. will be very appropriately observed with an Old Fashion Southern picnic at South Riverside park. It is under the management of Mr. Miles Parker who, with his committee invites every one to come out. was white that his name means so much to the Negro, but it is because Lincoln dared, and di d, to do for the Negro what no other man did on what the Negro himself could not do His memory is sacred and should ever remain so to every Negro. It is then in a most fitting and appropriate remembrance of so grand a man that the Lincoln Day Club of Wichita has been organized. And it is for that reason that the Lincoln Day Club of Wichita is flourishing and it will be with that view plain before the officers and members, that this club will be maintained. --- The Emancipaton Day Celebration, which will be given at South Riverside Park, Tuesday, Sept. 22, promises to be one of the greatest events in the historp of Wichita.

We understand it all—it is simply some of the boys wishing to make political capital at the expense of the editor. The thing finally found its way into the order Knights of Pythias, of which the editor has been a member for more than 12 years. Unfortunately for the editor, those who opposed him were the ones who were in official power the order, and the natural result was that the editor's head was chopped off for the short space of 99 years. The editor, not being entirely pleased at having it "handed" to him so nicely and on at a silver platter, at that, applauded to the Supreme lodge, which met in St. Louis. At the session of that body, which met last week, the verdict of 99 years handed down in Wichita was reversed and the editor given a chance to breathe again at lea The decision of the Supreme lodge was just. Although we have shown through two courts and through the order that we were right yet we have no "axes to grind" with the gents, who oppose us and caused our suspension here. We do not harbor any ill-feeling or hatred toward any of them. Their acts were simply the acts of a madman seeking revenge, and they got it. Now that the affair is finally settled right and in our favor we have no ill feeling, no malace, no unkind word to say toward any of them. As we have of times faid, "there are no sore spots on us." We have only the kindiest feeling toward each and every one of our opponents, and we leave it to them to say whether they will thus reciprocate. On our part, the pus is buried with the past never to be resurrected by us. Remember the big Emancipation Day Celebration at South Riverside park on Tuesday, Sept. 22nd. The biggest ever witnessed. Mrs W. N. Miller occupied the editor's chair last week in the absence of that personage, who made a flying trip to the world's fair city of St. Louis. The paper made its appearance in good shape. Much credit to the lady for her works. Over in Wichita they are preyaring to organize a Lincoln Day club and it has been given out that the club in Topeka is no more. We beg to differ with them. The Kansas Lincoln Day Club was organized in Topeka three years ago, and is very much alive and att the proper time will have their usual celebration — Plaindealer, Topeka. We wish to say to Bro. Plaindealer that the Wichita Lincoln Day Club is already organized and will the proper time have their celebration.

The shafts of the buggy coming toward her ran into the shoulder of her horse, and the shafts of Mrs. Anderson's buggy ran into the shoulder of the other horse.

THE DAIRY By pasteurization we understand the application of heat to such a degree that most of the bacteria are destroyed; the temperature generally made use of ranges between 140 to 185 degrees F., said M. Mortenson at a dairy convention. This should not be confused with sterilization, by which we understand complete destruction of bacteria; this may be accomplished either by application of heat or by the use of chemicals. Every buttermaker at present has become so familiar with pasteurization that he can without difficulty pasteurize milk for starters, but pasteurization of milk and cream for city supply and especially cream for buttermaking, requires more experience and very careful work. The cooked flavor which milk acquires after it has been heated to a temperature of 150 degrees F. must be prevented when milk is to be sold for direct consumption. The consumer generally objects to the cooked flavor; only a few understand that that flavor serves as a guarantee that this milk is a pure, healthy food. The Wisconsin Experiment station recommends that the milk be heated to 140 degrees F. for thirty minutes; that does not produce the cooked flavor and it does not affect the rising of the cream as do higher temperatures. Pasteurization of milk and cream for direct consumption is continually growing in favor. As to the digestibility of pasteurized milk compared with raw milk opinions are divided. Experiments along that line of work have been conducted at the Maryland Experiment station, where they arrived at the conclusion that raw milk is more easily digested when fed to calves than either pasteurized or cooked milk; they also corresponded with physicians in charge of children's hospitals and the majority of them favor the use of raw milk for infants, when the milk was known to be in perfect condition, but favored pasteurized milk under ordinary conditions. Dr. Fleischmann together with Dr. August Morgen and other European scientists conducted experiments which lead to the conclusion that the nitrogenous matter in milk which has been submitted to a high temperature is somewhat more digestible than in fresh milk. New York's Milk. The milk trade in the vicinity of New York is rapidly taking on a system of its own that seems to be unique in this country. The milk dealers are largely organized under the title of the "People's Pure Milk Company." The producers of milk have a gigantic organization, which they call the "Five States Milk Producers' Association." Not long ago they completed a five years' agreement dating from October, 1903, the producers of milk to deliver to the dealers about 20,000 cans of milk per day, agreeing to sell to them all the milk they produce, except such as is used in their homes. The agreement is on the quart basis, the monthly prices to be as follows: January, 34-8 cents; February, 33-8 cents; March, 31-8 cents; April, 3 cents; May, 25-8 cents; June, 21-8 cents; July, 23-8 cents; August, 26-8 cents; September, 3 cents; October, 31-8 cents; November, 33-8 cents; December, 35-8 cents. However these prices are subsequently changed they must never fall below a yearly average of $2\%$ cents per quart in cash. After two years, the annual average is to be increased to $2\%$ cents per quart. The milk selling company sells a part of its stock to the producers, thus making them partakers in the profits of the milk delivery. The milk delivering company furnishes all cans and keeps them clean without expense to the milk producers. One hundred pounds of milk is agreed upon as the equivalent of 48 quarts. The milk producers living near the city are to receive in addition to the above mentioned prices the difference in freight rates over the long hauls for which the prices are made. The milk producers that do not keep their stables in a sanitary condition are to be excluded from the benefits of this agreement, and their milk will be refused. Renovated Butter Product. There are in the United States in the neighborhood of 70 factories for the renovating of butter, and their product last year is reported to have been over 59,000,000 pounds. The new revenue law relating to renovated butter went into effect last year and for the first time we have statistics that are something more than guesses. The tax of one-fourth cent a pound does not seem to find many objectors among the renovated butter interests, and the supervision given the factories is something of a guarantee to the people of the production of a wholesome product. Siberian Butter The dairy interests of Siberia have been enormously advanced by the completion of the western part of the trans-Siberian railway. The number of creameries and their production of export butter are reported to be as follows: 1898, 140 creameries; butter produced, 5,416,800 pounds. 1899, 334 creameries; 10,833,600 pounds. 1900, 1,107 creameries; 39,723,200 pounds; 1901, 1,800 creameries; 67,168,200 pounds. 1902, 2,500 creameries; 90,280,000 pounds. Much of this butter is shipped to England. POULTRY Predatory Animals. Could a census be taken of the fowls lost by the ravages of animals of prey the results would be truly astonishing. In the newer settled sections of the country forest animals are so persistent in their attempts to get at the poultry that the raising of chickens is frequently discontinued. One would hardly expect to hear of large losses from the ravages of coons, weasels and minks inside of the limits of Cook county, Illinois, yet such losses are frequently reported. The writer knew of a neighbor who lost a big white Leghorn cock. The animal had entered the hen house at night, selected the largest bird obtainable and had carried it off, climbing a post and walking along a board fence eight feet high. Indications pointed to a coon as the mischief doer, but it was not thought probable that a coon was in that vicinity. However, the next day another neighbor shot a coon in the neighborhood and the case was proven. Another man living in a good-sized Chicago suburb told the writer that some wild animal had destroyed his whole flock. He got through the wires one night and killed a part of the flock. The man the next day made everything secure, as he supposed; but that night the animal dug a burrow under the walls of the house, got in and killed the rest of the flock. A weasel was suspected. This goes to show that a little precaution against these animals will hardly prove effective. The point is that while we are making the poultry house secure we should make it so secure that no loss can be occasioned by these animals. Incidentally we might criticise the practice of many poultry owners leaving the doors and windows of their houses open during the summer nights, with no protection whatever. This was the case with the man that lost the White Leghorn cock. A door and window made of inch mesh wire would have been entirely effective in keeping out animals, even rats. The writer has used this wire and has found it very strong and durable. It is not expensive and there is no reason why it should not be extensively used. Where there are young chicks, this BUFF ORPINGTONS wire should be used to keep out rats" Rats become very destructive of chicks after they once get a taste of chicken. On the other hand rats will frequently live on a farm for years and never touch a chick. It is largely a question of forming a habit. When rats once get the taste for spring chicken, a relentless war will have to be waged upon them. At one time the writer had a great deal of trouble in this respect. The rats got so they would attack a chick of almost any size, and it was not unusual to find in the morning a half grown chick killed and partly eaten by the rodents. One day the fowls were making a fuss and the writer hurried to find the cause. A big rat had a half-grown chicken by the leg and was pulling it under a broken board in the floor. In such cases it will sometimes be found necessary to use poison. Electric paste of some make has always proven the most effective in the experience of the writer. But it is better to so construct the poultry house that no rats or other animals of any size can get in. This can be done in various ways. Cement always makes a good floor and prevents rats getting in from that point. Where a board floor is to be used, it should be so far above the ground that the rats can find nothing to stand on in their attempts to guaw a hole through the boards. Rats never attempt to cut their way into a building from the outside, and this point may well be left unguarded. The trouble is that most floors are put within a few inches of the ground, or else cross beams and foundation stones are so carelessly placed that the rodents find an abundance of support in their operations. Dairying in New York. According to the Department of Agriculture there were in New York state last year 448 creameries and 193 establishments making both butter and cheese. The product of butter was over 59,000,000 pounds and of cheese over 124,000,000 pounds. The increase in butter over the census year was 20,000,000 pounds; but there was a decrease of 2,000,000 pounds of cheese. A good many establishments in the state are making both butter and cheese.
