The of the society in its beginning subsequent operation was and is忍ize the race m a body when wherever practicable, to concen-tive forces for the betterment and ing of the race along social, economic and industrial lines, ing that if the race ever stands anything socially there must be a stratification of forces, a common uni-mentation and moral destiny of the ing generations. Its economic issues have already demonstrated advantages of holding a member the society whose members not show marked improvement in social condition, but their safe of honest dealing places a cor-ground their integrity which steady business growth. organizers sought and obtained assistance of the best families of community in the organization of older. After finding the social, economic and industrial advantages brought their daughters mothers their sons, and friends associates, forming a common bond binds together the welfare of morality, one of its cardinal principles the base upon which the city is constructed. Founded upon and other constituent elements, the mer went about officially to uplift more through the above medium. The growth of the society has been evident and phenominal. The membap has more than doubled itself the society owns more than $12,000 of property, thus showing its frequent development to be regular interesting, its present status is easy and encouraging, its future well. It can be said that the significant part of this society can be traced directly to the efficient leaders provi-ly discovered in the beginning work in the jurisdiction and the selection of its local officers. Be-ing with the C. C. M. and C. G. --- P., down to the least subordinate official, you will find them men and women of integrity, moral worth and rare business qualities. Their success in being able to keep the wolf from the door of their members is due to their honest and straightforward dealings with the people's money invested in the order. Perhaps one of the best features of the Benevolent policy is the Endowment department. This enables its members to insure their lives, so to speak, against the saame and surse of being friendless and without protection when sick and a pauper's burial at death. Considering the limited time which this department has been in operation, its benefit to the individual member and contribution to the growth of the order has been marvelous in the extreme. The department maintains a steady increase, thereby ameliorating the condition of local families, strengthening the influence of the race in respective communities and placing a safe guard around the choice sons and daughters that must make or unmake the future generations. Again, what may be styled a renovation in the administration of affairs is the substitution of a burial com- REV. MOSE Founder of the Interna Died Nov mittee for the long and time worn street parade of hacks, entailing unnecessary expense in burying their dead. This innovation has saved hundreds of dollars to the benevolent orders following the lead of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Instead of all the members sharing the hack drive to the cemetery, a burial committee especially appointed by the local society to perform the duties of the order at the grave. The members may return to their work, or suit their own choice after the funeral proper is over. No one is compelled to go to the cemetery but the burial committee. Other societies have discovered the economy and wisdom of this plan and are putting it in operation when and wherever practicable. The above saving plan is purely the invention of Sir Frank Wilson, who has lived to see it a great benefit to the Knights and Daughters of Tabor and other societies. We wish all success. --- WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1906. GOMS. Sir D. L. TAYLOR Our Vice Grand Mentor The present grand chief officers are: Rev. Wilson, C. G. M., Kansas City, Kansas; Dr. Emma Gaines, C. G. P., Topeka, Kansas; Sir A. W. Hopkins, C. G. S., Leuvenworth, Kansas; Dt. Sarah Forbes, C. G. R., Lincoln Neb.; Sir Mm. Core, C. G. T., Topeka, Kansas. S DICKSON National Order of Twelve 28th 1901 OUR GRAND CHIEF REV. FRANK WILSON, C. G. M. Kights and Daughters of Tabor, For We give our readers this week a brief sketch of the life of our distinguished Taborian leader, Rev. Sir Frank Wilson. "Honor and fame from no conditions rise, Act well your part; there all the honor lies." No better illustration of these inspired words of the poet can be found than in the career of the Rev. Frank Wilson. He was born a slave in Clay county, Missouri, in March, 1852. Immediately after the emancipation he, his younger brother, sister and mother located in Wyandotte county, Kansas, where they have since lived. Mr. Wilson was engaged in farming and wood chopping until he reached the age of 16 years when he engaged insteam- boating on the Missouri river. Despite the fact that the care of his mother was upon his young shoulders he man- Dtr. EMMA GAINES Our Chief Grand Preceptress aged to save enough money to hire a private tutor, under whose instruction he rapidly progressed. After running as a brakeman on the railroad for four years in1884 he entered Wilberforce college at Xenia, Ohio, where for three years he pursued a very rigid course of instruction. His career has been an honorable and singularly successful one. By shrewd investment and careful management he has acquired considerable property. He is very strongly identified with secret fraternities, being Past Grand chief of the I. O. of G. S. and one of its most prominent national grand officers. He is also at the head of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor in Kansas and Nebraska to which place he was elected without opposition in 1891 and has been re-elected to the same place every yar. He is one of the oldest members of this order, havejoined the Morning Star Temple No. 2, of Kansas City, Mo. He is a strong member of the U. B. of F. and has filled the office of master in that organization for three successive terms. Through his strictly economical management of affairs the different orders with which he is connected have prospered financially to a surprising degree. It was through his efforts that the expenses on funeral occasions have been reduced to what they are now. In September, 1893, he was licensed by the quarterly conference of the C. M. E. church of which he is now a faithful and earnest worker. As an organizer Mr. Wilson has few equals among our people. His high standing as a secret society worker and the estimate placed upon him as a man was verified by his election to the office of National Grand Treasurer of Knights of Tabor. He is a strict church member, a man of undoubted integrity and high moral sense of duty, which in a great measure is the key to his success. We build our characters but reputation is but the sport of circumstances. SIR D. L. TAYLOR, U. G. M. Sir Taylor was born in West Tennessee, in Henderson county, January 10, 1863. Came to Kansaa in 1891. He joined Silver Leaf Temple, No. 15 at Salina, Kansas, May 17, 8196 and served as Vice Mentor and in 1896 was elected Chief Mentor—served one year. In 1898 he was elected C. S., re-elected in 1899 and in 1900 was elected C. T. In 1901 he was elected C. D. M. He has held the following offices in the Grand Temple and Tabernacle. In 1899 served as Outer Sentinel; 1900 and 1901 elected V. G. M. and has been re-elected yearly since. Sir Taylor has lead the effort to secure a home for the order in Salvia. He has gone forward without fear or favor. The principles of the order were wrought into his being. Sir Taylor is founder and builder of the Tent house adopted by the jurisdiction.

Secretary Wilson Gives It His Em- phatic Approval. _ We Sayn It In Comprehensive and the Mennw of Enforcement hate is Washington, D. C— Secretary Wil- son, of the department of agriculture, has decided not to enter upon his an- nual vacation until he has completed the organization necessary to.put into operation the new meat inspection law. He will give praetically his en tire time 10 this work for the next two months. The new pure food law also will require attention but he in- tends to leave this almost wholly to Dr. H.W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry. By direction of the president, Secretary Wilson Monday issued the following statement: “American livestock are the health- fest in the world. The great ranges of the west produce herds of cattle 'n which the percentage of disease is remarkably small and the federal zov- ernment is steadily redueing, by ap- proved scientific methods, this small percentage. The inspection of the arimals before and at the time of slaughter has always been thorough, It is true that the department of azri- culture has heretofore lacked the power and money to provide for an efficient supervision and sanitation of the methods of preparation of canned meat food products, “The legislation «which has just be- come effective provides the depart ment of acriculture with an adequate law and with ample money to carry it into effect “Supervision and inspection will be extended from the pasture to the package. ‘The federal stamp pon the can will be a guarantee not only of the healihfuiness of the animal but also that the product was prepared in sanitary surroundines, and with the addition of no deleterious chem- ical or preservative, any meat food product bearing the government stamp will be fit for food “With this law in operation it may be accepted as a fact that for health- fulness and purity the prepared or canned prodnet will compare favor- ably with the fresh mests of the United States, which is. end always has been the finest im the world. “The new law is comprehensive, the means for its enforcement are ample and its execution will be thorouch.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Just In Time. Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Iowa, writes to Mrs. Pinkham: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I can truly say that you have saved my Life, and I cannot express my gratitude to you in words. Mrs T.C.Willadsen "Before I wrote to you, telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steadily and spent lots of money on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me. My monthly periods had ceased and I suffered much pain, with faint spells, headache, backache and could hardly keep around. As a last resort I decided to write you and try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so thankful that I did, for after following your instructions, which you sent me free of all charge, I became regular and in perfect health it did not be for you I would be gravely grave. "I sincerely trust that this letter may lead every suffering woman in the country to write you for help as I did." When women are troubled with irregular or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of an organ, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, flatulence, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. Refuse all substitutes. For 25 years Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, has under her direction, and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge. Address, Lynn, Mass. PASSING PERSONALS.

A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years' stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells: "I had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends, but grew worse all the time. "Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stomach and making it worse—that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. "I cried out in alarm, 'Quit drinking coffee!' why, 'What will I drink?' "Try Postum,' said the doctor, 'I drink it and you will like it when it is made according to directions, with cream, for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has.' "Well, that was two years ago, and I am still drinking Postum. My stomach is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he decided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in its place." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Never too late to mend. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders. There's a reason. Look in pkgs. for the famous little book "The Road to Wellville." DIED IN ENGLISH WRECK. Twenty-Three Passengers, Mostly Americans, Killed in a Railroad Accident at Salisbury. Salisbury, England. — Driving at a mad pace over the London Southwestern railway, the American line express carrying forty-three of the steamer New York's passengers from Plymouth to London, plunged from the track just after passing the station here at 1:57 o'clock Sunday morning and mangled to death in its wreckage twenty-three passengers who sailed from New York, June 23, and four of the trainmen. Besides those to whom death came speedily a dozen persons were injured, some of them seriously. Nearly all of the passengers on the train were Americans who were enroute to various points in Europe by way of London. The train was just entering the railway yard at Salisbury, when the passengers noted that the coaches began swaying from side to side. Suddenly at the end of the long platform, when the track begins to curve toward the bridge spanning Fisherston street, the main avenue of the city, the engine seemed fairly to leap from the track. It swung across the adjoining track with terrific force and destroyed the guards' van of a milk train that was slowly steaming in the opposite direction, killing a guard. Lurching forward the locomotive plunged against the standards and the girders of the bridge. The bridge withstood the impact, and rebounding the engine crushed into another engine which was standing on a sliding and overturned. The wreckage of the two engines interlocked in a great broken mass of twisted steel and iron. Throughout the wild plunging of the engine, Driver Robins, whether alive or dead, remained in his cab. Hours afterward his charred body was found grilled over the firebox. ATTORNEYS GET BIG FEES. Congress Appropriated $5,000,000 to Pay Old Indian Claim and Lawyers Get $750,000 of It. Washington, D.

The pills contain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant, nor any drug which could injure the most delicate constitution.

My skin was pale and salow and I was troubled with dizziness, fainting spells and fits of indigestion. I was very nervous and would start at the slightest sound. At times a great weakness would come over me and on one occasion my limbs gave way under me and I fell to the sidewalk. "Of course I was treated by our local physicians and also consulted a noted doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave me seemed to benefit me. One day I read in a newspaper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I immediately gave them a trial. I soon felt much better and my color had begun to return. I continued using the pills and by the time I had taken eight boxes I was entirely cured. "My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suffered terribly from anemia. She was pale and thin and we feared that she would become a victim of consumption. She tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and in a short time she began to gain in strength and weight. She is now strong and well and we both heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are in ill health.

There is one elemental fact in con- nection with the “Katy” land snit which Colonel Harris of Chicago seems to have overlooked in his dis: cussion of the subject. If the M. 1% & T. company is entitled to the land it should have possession of it, If it ix not legally entitled to the land the Supreme Court of the United States is not going to give it possession. Would Colonel Harris be a party to depriving the “Katy” of the land to which the courts might hold it legally entitled solely because the M. K. & ‘TY. company is a railroad corporation? DREW A BLANK.

Jordan, who for successive years has been the head of Macedonia Tabernacle, No. 93 of North Topcka, was born under adverse circumstances, like most leaders, but her native energy coupled with the professed desire "to do the right thing at the right time, has made her one of the A. B. most effective workers in any department of the order of Twelve. Of a critical mind, she has thoroughly analyzed the work of the order and now it seems to have a clearer idea of its duties which membership in the order enjoins. Mrs. Jordan's christian name was Ida M. Grant. She was born in Chicago, Ill., but has been a resident of Topeka since she was three years of age. She was married to Robert Jordan at the age of 15 years and has been a christian woman for 12 years. She is presiding officer of six different lodges. GOLDEN SHEAF TABERNACLE NO 91. OMAHA. NEB.
