Give your race people a chance. UNFAIR STATEMENT. The members of Imperial company No. 1, K. of P., Wichita, and the K. of P. in general feel that the statement made in a Topeka paper last week that the Wichita company was given the prize in the drill contest at Lawrence on July 26 by mistake is an unfair as well as an untrue statement. Imperial Co. No. 1 won the prize fair and square, and the fact that one member from Wichita was on the Board of Judges made no difference, as the board was composed of three members, and two could have given the prize. All Wichita wants is fair play, and it is high time that the Wichita people were considering such jabs as given the Wichita company by this Topeka paper last week. It is simply another effort on the part of this same Topeka paper to give Wichita a black eye before the people at large. Wichita should remember this attack. NEWS OF GREAT BEND. Rev. Raimey administered communion last Sunday evening at his church. Mrs. Lizzie Rotten left for her home in Omaha, Neb., and Mrs. Lottie McDonald left for her home in Leavenworth, after a pleasant visit with friends.

On July 21st, we had an installation service. Installed our newly elected pastor, Rev. Wm. E. Harrison, of Kansas City, Mo. We regret much that Rev. W. S. Blake, of Emporia, Kan., who was appointed to preach the special sermon, could not come. But at 3 p. m. a nice program was rendered. Many good papers were read with timely subjects, suiting the occasion. A decof of the White Baptist church, and cashier of the National bank here delivered a welcome address to our pastor, followed with music by the choir.

Farmers are generally encouraged over their prospect. Arkansas City's churches and fraternal orders in last few weeks have been well represented in their annual gatherings. Among them were M. L. Copeland, Miss Eva Smothers, Mr. and Mrs. Drumgould. All bring back glowing reports of successful work of their respective branches. Educational session of the Loyal Legion of Labor at 4:00 p. m., at Second, Baptist church, was an event highly appreciated and long to be remembered by all present. Program as follows: Selection by Chor. Selection by Chin. Invocation—Rev. M. L. Copeland. Scripture Reading—Rev. Guy. Selection—Choir. Power of Organization—W. W. Keller. Relation of Negro to the Government—Hon. W. L. Cunningham. Many remarks were brought by the speakers which will leave a lasting impression upon the audience. Hon. W. L. Cunningham said in his address "that organization among the colored people was a much needed thing, provided it was for good, and he would do all in his power to encourage such a movement; also that the colored people were entitled to all rights and privileges of any other citizen. He opposed separate schools because he believed that it was a scheme on the part of some white people to separate the colored pupils from the white pupils, put them into poorly equipped schoolhouses, and give them inferior teachers, and by this the white student would have advantage over the colored student and be able to hold superior positions. He asked nothing for his child that he was not willing to give to the colored child, ```markdown ``` NO.21 COMFORT OF THE GUEST Littles Things in Which Some Hostesses Are Remiss. With all that big empty closet in the guest room it seems a great pity to have one's best frock hung up in a crowded closet. The best frock, dustbag and all are accordingly smuggled into an obscure corner of the closet of the guest chamber, where it will not be the least bit in the way of the guest with the very largest wardrobe. There would be no harm in the party frock if it did not serve as an opening wedge for other garments. It is not long until a lace waist follows the gown, the winter suit and coat follow the waist and the closet has become a veritable storeroom. It is such a handy place and such a temptation to hang this or that odd garment on one of those invitingly empty hooks; but think of the feelings of the poor guest as she opens the closet door. The sight which greets her eye is not one calculated to make her feel very welcome. It suggests too strongly that there is hardly room for her. The same is true of the drawers in the bureau. They afford an excellent place in which to store the best linen, the reserve stock of bedding, and the family heirlooms, but filled with these treasures they do not tempt the poor traveler to unpack her belongings and stop a while. The hostess should remember that if she expects her guest to be comfortable during her stay she must at least give her some place to put her things. Every hostess, however, is not fortunate enough to have an extra room in her house which she can save exclusively for guests. If such is the case, the visiting friend is usually asked to occupy the room of one of the members of the family who moves out temporarily. If this is done it would be a gentle courtesy if the person who moves out of the room would take with her all the things which she will be apt to need during her temporary encampment. This is by no means to save the guest from the interruption of frequent intrusions, but to keep her from the uncomfortable feeling that she is crowding some one else out of her usual quarters. The Home Doctor. Half a teaspoonful of table salt dissolved in a half glassful of cold water will give instant relief in case of heartburn. Many cases of indigestion, headache, neuralgia, cold hands and feet can be quickly cured by drinkly slowly one or two pints of water so hot that it almost burns the throat. To inhale steam from a bowl of boiling water is very good for a sore throat. The sufferer should lean over the steam, drawing it in both throat and nostrils. People with poor digestion should drink no water with meals, but take a glassful half an hour before and drink plentifully an hour or so after each meal. Warts may be entirely removed by washing the hands two or three times a day with the water in which potatoes have been boiled, or by bathing the wart several times with potato water. Uses for Sour Milk. A dish of Dutch, or cottage, cheese can be made of sour milk. Sour milk makes soft, spongy, light cake, corn bread, graham bread, ginger bread, molasses cookies, doughnuts, and griddle cakes are much better made with sour milk and soda than sweet milk and baking powder. Sour milk is excellent to feed chickens. Oilcloth washed with sour milk and rinsed well is much brighter looking. Fruit stains may be removed from linen or white goods by soaking in sour milk. Rinse well. Salt meat and fish can be freshened by soaking over night in sour milk. Buttermilk is claimed by some physicians to cure various ills, such as indigestion, kidney and liver troubles. Sour milk will cure ivy poisoning. Tin Utensils Made Rust-Proof Tin Utensils Made Rust-Proof. If new tinware be rubbed over with fresh lard and thoroughly heated in the oven before it is used, it will never rust afterward, no matter how much it is put in water. For stained tinware borax produces the best results. If a teapot or coffee pot is discolored on the inside, boil it in a strong solution of borax for a short time, and all its brightness will return. The dollarless man is still a millionaire if he hath not been robbed of his dreams. LIAGL Entered at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter.

The white music teachers, it is said, have been forced by their white patrons to give up and refuse to teach colored pupils in the future which makes a splendid opening for the right kind of colored music teacher. We would like to see some good colored teacher locate in our city and thus place the colored music students beyond the necessity of the present embarrassment. TRY US For a Good Job of Lead and Oil.

MISS BLANCH ALEXANDER MAR RIES. The many friends of Miss Luela Blanch Alexander, one of Wichita's estimable young ladies and daughter of Mrs. E. J. Alexander, 623 North Water street, will be surprised and much pleased to learn that Miss Alexander was married on July 15th to Mr. Byron Conway at Santa Barbara, Calif.

Miss Blanche Alexander, a pretty colored girl, came all the way from Wichita, Kan., to meet her finance, Byron Conway, the porter at Shaw & Hunt's. The happy couple were married in this city Thursday evening at 818 Chapala street, Rev. Alexander Grant, officiating.

For a little outing Elder Hall ran out to visit a brother, W. R. Hall, in the Indian Territory, a few days ago. He has returned and reports a good trip.

The flames were promptly extinguished, and as the vessel can easily be raised it was money in the pockets of the owners to have her blown up instead of burned up.

WOULD HURT THE STANDARD MONOPOLY The Independent Oil Men Want to Obtain an Average Reduction of 20 Per Cent in the Rates on Petroleum Throughout the Country—Standard and Railroads Confer. Cleveland, Aug. 8.—Five attacks upon hitherto impregnable fortresses of the Standard Oil company, attacks widely separated, but made simultaneously and covering practically the entire country between the Atlantic seaboard and the Rocky mountains, were ordered Tuesday by the independent oil men of Cleveland. This united campaign is the direct result of the $29,240,000 fine assessed against the Rockefeller trust by Judge Landis in the federal court in Chicago last Saturday. The five attacks will be under the generalship of the National Petroleum Association. On paper the foes will be all the railroads of both the East and the West. In reality, though the conflict in each instance will be waged against the Standard. From the standpoint of the independent oil men of this city the most important part of this quintuple campaign is that against the railroads operating in the territory of the Central Freight association. The object of this attack is to obtain an average reduction of 20 per cent in the rates of petroleum in the territory named. F. W. Boltz, traffic manager, sent an urgent letter to the interstate commerce commission asking for a thorough hearing not later than September 15. There are two cases involved in this petition and the average reduction asked in the rates on petroleum is 40 per cent. One of the cases covers the territory between Chicago and Omaha and between Sioux City and Sioux Falls, while the other affects the rates between Chicago and St. Paul and Minneapolis. In this letter the Interstate Commerce commission is requested to fix the time for hearing these cases immediately after the date selected for hearing the complaint regarding the reclassified tariffs of the Eastern roads. Mr. Boltz sent another urgent missive to the state railroad commission of Nebraska. On the average Nebraska's rates on petroleum are from 80 to 130 per cent higher than those in adjacent states. Mr. Boltz asks immediate revision of the rates by the state railroad commission. While Mr. Boltz was writing these letters C. D. Chamberlin, secretary of the association, was on his way to Atlanta, Ga., to appear before the Georgia house committee on judiciary in advocacy of the passage of an antidiscrimination law similar to that now in force in Kansas and Iowa. Chicago, Aug. 8.—Conferences indicating a combination of interest between the Standard Oil corporation and the railroad officials to fight further government investigation are in progress in Chicago and New York, according to the Chicago Record-Herald. The Chicago & Alton, the Chicago Burlington & Quincy and Chicago & Eastern Illinois lines jointly named in the 4.331 indictments returned by a federal grand jury are represented in the negotiations. The attitude of Judge Landis in declaring the railroads equally culpable' with the oil corporation in the rebating offenses and calling a special grand jury have caused the hasty banding together of the different interests. Chicago's Boss Gambler Dying Chicago, Aug. 8.—Michael C. McDonald, formerly a "boss gamester" and prominent politician of this city, is dying in a hospital and it is declared by his physicians that he can not out-live the day.

This affair and the disclosures that it brought are said to have had a strong influence in shortening McDonald's life. THE MODERN LADY GODIVA. Representation of Historic Ride Given by Vaudeville Actress at Conventry, Eng. Coventry, Eng., July 8.-Mounted on a white Palfrey and decorously clothed in masses of hair, pink fleshings and clouds of gauze, a modern Lady Godiva Wednesday gave a representation of the historic ride through the city's streets. Coventry has been Lady Godiva mad for months. When a revival of the procession, last witnessed in 1887, was first mooted there were many who desired a strict adherence to tradition, even to the nudity of Lady Godiva, but the anti-nudists effected a compromise and a vaudeville actress, whose specialty is to display herself in groups of living statuary, was engaged to represent the historic benefactress of Coventry. The actress who is said to have complained that she could make half a dozen summer frocks out of the gauze she was compelled to wear, took an hour and a half to arrange her trailing hair and long draperies and then a special committee had to approve of her costume before Lady Godiva was permitted to take her place in the pageant. Many of the local clergy who had been preaching against the fleshings as being suggestive of nudity, left the city temporarily but most of the people of the country and 80 to 100,000 from the outside had a sight of Lady Godiva as she traversed the six miles. Disregard Missouri Law Jefferson City, Mo., Aug. 8.—Prosecuting Attorney Slate of Cole county Tuesday filed an information in circuit court against the Missouri Pacific railroad, charging it with failure to obey the state law requiring daily passenger service on all lines. The grand jury last week returned indictments against/ the company for the seven Sundays during which the law has been in effect for failure to operate trains on the Bagnell branch. This information covers last Sunday. The railroad now has 21 indictments and one information to answer here for alleged violation of the eight hour telegraph law and others arising under the daily train law. A Prison Brick Plant Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 8.—Major R. W. McClaughry, warden of the federal penitentiary, received authority Tuesday to establish a large prison brick plan. The American Clay Works company of Bucyrus, O., is to install the machinery for $13,653.44. The plant will have a capacity to make as high as 60,000 brick a day, both building and vitrified paving brick will be manufactured. The clay will be taken from the hill west of the prison and conveyed in cars. The brick plant will be within the main walls. It is intended to use the plant largely to make paving brick to pave roads in and around the penitentiary and on the Fort roads. "Nav. Nav." Says Coburn. Topeka, Kan., Aug. 8—F. D.

The Tell Tale Voice "If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to is telling the truth don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends. "It is the voice, when you don't look at the eyes, that tells you whether the other fellow is lying. We use the system frequently in the bank. A man will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never in his eyes. If he's telling the truth his voice will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it. But if he's lying he'll be confused by your action, and his voice will tremble; he'll hem and haw, and clear his throat. You may rest assured then that he's stringing you."

"When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and biliessness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. "I gave up coffee entirely and the resu' has been that I have been entirely relieved of all my stomach and nervous trouble. "My mother was just the same way. We all drink Postum now, and without coffee in the house for 2 years, we are all well. "A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in her side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes or do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can sew on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble. "I could also tell you about several other neighbors who have been cured by quitting coffee and using Postum in its place." "There's a Reason."

Both services were of the most simple character, only relatives and a few intimate friends being present. The principal drawing room of the embassy was converted for the occasion into a provisional chapel containing a small altar, before which Dr. Hall stood with a back ground of plants. Augustus N. Eddy, father of the bride, gave her away. Her wedding gown was of white satin trimmed with lace and having a long train. After the ceremony a wedding breakfast was given at the house of Spencer F. Eddy. Ambassador Tower proposed the health of the bride and groom, to which Senator Beveridge responded. Several hundred congratulatory telegrams and cable messages were received, including one from the mother of Mr. Beveridge, from Champaign, Ill., and messages from President Roosevelt, Senator Allison, James Whitcomb Riley, most of the senators, many members of the house, and political friends all over the United States. Large numbers of cable messages continued to arrive after the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Beveridge from Berlin. They were forwarded to Dresden, where the bridal couple will make a temporary stay.

Recently a country doctor in the north of Ireland, a bachelor, who was locally noted for his bruseness and irascibility, was driving along a narrow lane, or "boreen," when his passage was effectually barred by an old woman, who was returning from the bog leading an ass whose panniers were filled with peats. The woman led the ass to the side of the lane as quickly as she could, but not quickly enough to please the short-tempered doctor. "Faugh!" he exclaimed, with a snort of disgust. "Women and asses are always in the way." "I'm glad ye have the manners to put yourself last," said the old woman, calmly. The doctor drove on without another word. A Little Debt for Husband. A four-year-old tot invited three older playmates into an ice cream saloon, where she magnificently ordered four plates of cream.

Looking up into his face in the most innocent manner in the world, she lisped: "I ain't got any money, sir. I'll pay you when I'm married."

LARGEST CYANIDE MILL IN THE WEST Destruction of the Mills May Result in Closing Several Mines at Cripple Creek Throwing Hundreds of Men Out of Employment—Loss is $750,000. Colorado Springs, Col., Aug. 8.—The Golden Cyclone Mining company's $1,000,000 reduction plant, located in the foothills south of Colorado City was practically destroyed by fire Wednesday. The fire originated in the roasting rooms and rapidly spread to other buildings which cover an area of ten acres. Lack of water and inadequate fire fighting facilities made the work of the firemen very difficult and it was only by heroic efforts that the fire was finally brought under control after three-fourths of the plant had been destroyed. Thirty seven freight cars standing on sidings near the mills were also consumed. The fire was very spectacular. The mills are so situated in the hills that an excellent view of the conflagration could be obtained from all parts of Colorado Springs and thousands of spectators occupied the roofs of buildings and other points of vantage. It is thought the destruction of the mills will result in the closing of several矿es at Cripple Creek, thereby throwing hundreds of men out of employment. The plant was formerly known as the Teuluride mills, owned by New York capitalists and was involved in the mill men's strike which terminated in the Cripple Creek labor difficulties. Shortly after the strike the mills closed down and were taken over by J. T. Milliken of St. Louis and associates who rebuilt the plant and added extensively to its capacity. The mill has been in operation but a few weeks and is the largest cyanide plant in the west. As large contracts are held with Cripple Creek mining companies for their ore, it is quite probable that the plant will be rebuilt as soon as possible. The loss is estimated at $750,000, with $300,000 insurance. ADVOCATE SECOND PRIMARY. Friends of Both Candidates for Senator in Mississippi Want Another Vote. New Orleans, Aug. 8.—Dispatches from Jackson, Miss., say that a second senatorial primary for John Sharp Williams and Gov. James K. Vardaman, is regarded with favor by many followers of both. Secretary of State Power, up to Tuesday night, still had ten counties to hear the official returns from, and the count up to that point showed William's lead to be about 440 votes. The smallness of the plurality, which it is now estimated the winner will have is given as ground for the belief that a contest over the election is inevitable. The ballot boxes are being watched by workers on both sides. The fact that a second primary must be held to select the candidate for governor has cleared the way for the advocacy of another vote for senator. Kansas City's Oldest Citizen Dead.

Of the 20,000,000 people inhabiting Spain, only about 35 per cent. can read and write; another two and one-half per cent. of the population can read without being able to write, but the remaining $62\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. are absolute illiterates. In the south of Spain it is impossible to get a servant who can read and write, and many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed. They bring a bundle of letters to a house and the owner looks through them and takes those which are (or which he thinks are) addressed to him. The Spanish postmen are not paid by the state; the recipient of the letters have to remunerate them according to the amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addressee at least one cent. It is a joke among the easy-going Spaniards that he who treats the postman, best receives the most letters—whether they are intended for him or not. FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Boy in Misery 12 Years—Eczema in Rough Scales, Itching and Inflaimed—Cured by Cuticura. "Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." Does Not Always Pay.

I says: "Thank you sir," and he had me arrested—Tit-Bits. The biggest trap-shooting event of the year, known as the Grand American Handicap, held at Chicago in June last, resulted in an overwhelming victory for Winchester Shells.

Those most usually afflicted with old sores are persons who have reached or passed middle life. The vitality of the blood and strength of the system have naturally begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because of a sluggish and inactive condition of the system, or some hereditary taint which has hitherto been held in check, now force an outlet on the face, arms, legs or other part of the body. The place grows red and angry, festers and cats into the surrounding tissue until it becomes a chronic and stubborn ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated. Nothing is more trying and disagreeable than a stubborn, non-healing sore. The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and treatments is good reason for suspicion; the same germ-producing cancerous ulcers is back of old sore, and especially is this true if the trouble is an inherited one. Washes, salves, nor indeed anything else, applied directly to the sore, can I was afflicted with a sore on my face of four years' standing.
