NINETH YEAR. Wichita's Ma "Shows H Publicly Discharge liceman Who w His Pla Wichita's Mayor "Shows His Authority Publicly Discharges A Colored Policeman Who was Performing His Plain Duty A ROTTEN ACT Mayor Hissed By Crowd Guiltily He Sneaks Mayor Hissed By Crowd Guiltily He Sneaks Away One of the most weak-kneed and awardly acts of the mayor of any city as the action of Wichita's dude mayor—who summarily discharged Officer William L. Herman, a colored officer, who dared to do his duty in arresting a white man who was doing its best to kill Officer Herman. We do not say this because Officer Herman is a colored man and the man from him he was arrested was arresting as a white man—but we say it in view of the fact that the "Mr. Mayor" showed regard to an honest, fearless officer who was in the proper performance of his duty. Officer Herman was called to the court house to remove a drunken man from the steps and the officer woke the follow up and told him to "move on." Instead of "moving on" this white man began to fight the officer and as the man was of large build Officer Herman, in order to protect himself, struck the white fellow with his club, but not till after the white man knocked the officer's helmet off and struck the officer. At this junction Wichita's at this junction Vicenta's mayor butted in and ordered Officer German to stop and go to the station and turn in his star and club—a more awardly act on the part of any mayor could not be named. No Investigation. Without any investigation of the cause and seeing the officer's helmet lying on the pavement orders the officer discharged. Which shows how extremely little and nuffed up this little mayor of Wichita to be. No one would criticize Wichita's executive if he had ordered an investigation and if the officer had been found in fault to have discharged him—but to have summarily and publicly discharged the officer without any sign of investigation is unprecedented, cowardly and weak. Have Held Our Peace. During all the past high-hand acts of Wichita's baggage mayor, we have kept silent—but looking at this whole proceedings and seeing the officer in a due line of his duty when called upon, and seeing a Missouri attempt to kill him because as he said "Aigger can't arrest him," and seeing the officer attacked by a drunken man in Graham's prohibition town—and seeing the mayor come on the scene and prove so weak as to discharge the officer—brings us to the front regardless whether the officer be white or black or his assailant white or black. Had Officer Herman not taken the action which he did this drunken white man would have surely done him bodily harm and Herman did no more than any other officer would have done action of Wichita's mayor under similar circumstances. By the a colored officer must not arrest a white man even though he sees the white man committing murder. This is the same Johnny H. Graham who was giving side-shows in the colored churches of Wichita where admitted a few months ago and begging for the Negro vote to get into office. It is the same Sunday school, goody-goody lad who would make the colored people believe last spring he was a second Moses. We ask the colored voters who were so enthused over their "Mr. Johnny Graham" executive" who has not the common horse executive ability to protect his sworn officers who are attacked and trying to be killed by a drunken man! Behold him! All ye folks of blacks! and in the language of the sage—we say 'What fools ye mortals are!" Turns in His Star. Wichita's mayor, Johnny H. Graham., was roundly criticized by both white and colored men who were eye witnesses to the whole proceedings and especially to the mayor's disgraceful and disgusting proceedings in discharging Officer Herman—and after listening to the jeers and hisses of the crowd "his honor" (%) Wichita's mayor, sneaked off. Officer Herman boarded a southbound car and went to the station and turned in his star and club and several prominent white men boarded the car with him and assured the officer that he had only done his plain duty and the mayor was too hasty in his action. One white man who saw the affair said to a reporter for the Searchlight, "Officer Herman only did his duty—this man was going at him in a desperate manner and the officer only protected himself. Mayor Graham was too hasty." Another white man said: "This white man got off easy. Had he attacked almost any other officer as he did this colored officer the officer certainly would have shot him. The officer is not to blame." An ex-white officer who was standing near said "I would not let a fellow punch at me as that man did at Herman without subduing him with more force than Hermand used." We cite these comments and could give more similar ones to show that the mayor of Wichita was chicken-hearted, weak-kneed and cowardly in discharging Officer Herman. Maybe the people can stand him a few weeks longer. But he's rank. ABOUT OFFICER HERMAN. ABOUT OFFICER HERMAN. William L. Herman was appointed policeman and went in under the present very unpleasant and unsatisfactory reform movement, headed by one Johnny H. Graham, a former drayman of Wichita. Since going on the force Mr. Herman has proven one of the most level-headed, and painstaking officers Wichita has ever had. During the whole time which he was on the police force not a store or place of business was broken into on his beat, while he was on duty. He was accommodating, painstaking and efficient in every way. During the past week, during the alleged sege of burglaries and robberies in Wichita the mayor and police department placed so much confidence in Mr. Herman that they took him off of his beat and put him in plain clothes to ferret out the guilty parties and to his credit it may be said that these depredations had lessened and several Only Saturday night Officer Herman was shot at by a citizen who misto k him for a burglar at a place where a burglar had been reported and where Officer Herman had been detailed to investigate. The short-sighted action of Mayor Johnny H. Graham will not reflect any credit on the pres nt mayor's office in the least. IS IT THE NEGRO? Who Is Committing The Many Alleged Crimes In Wichita? REASON SAYS NO. In view of the many crimes which are laid at the door of the Negro of Wichita during the past few weeks, the inability to apprehend any one upon whom positive guilt has been shown and the past general transquility, peacefulness and lawabiding reputation of the Negroes of Wichita, always in the past, makes us slow to believe—and indeed, we do not believe, that the Negroes of Wichita have so suddenly turned so bold and audacious criminals. We admit, and freely, too, that there are criminals in the Negro race, and in Wichita too, just as it must be admitted, and is true, that there are criminals among our white citizens of Wichita. But to say that the wholesale assaults on women which are being laid at the door of the colored men of Wichita is true in the whole, is too much to be swallowed. No people in any community stand more ready to help ferret out and capture any criminals than are the colored people of Wichita. And to wholesale imaginarily charge every alleged crime to the colored people of this city is doing the colored people an irreparable injury and injustice. If a colored man commits any crime and it is shown so, the colored people willingly say he should be PUNISHED ACCORDING TO THE LAW. Already many of the alleged crimes laid at the door of the colored men of Wichita are fizzling out and in cases where a crime was possibly committed it is gradually coming to light that the criminal was not black, as was first reported. It seems that of late every ill-wind that blows in Wichita, is at the hand of a "hurley Negro" and in the past recent days the Negroes of Wichita have been charged with almost every crime known to criminality. But are they true? That's the question. We have no sympathies for any man, white or black who will assault a woman, be she white or black, but before a whole race is by the wholesale spotted as women assulters, in fairness to all, the accusers should be certain that their assailant was or is as they claim. Little hasty decisions like these oftimes causes much annoyance to all parties concerned, and more especially so when the minority race is being constantly accused of henious crimes. If a Negro assaults a black woman or a white woman, or if a white man assaults a white woman or a black woman and he is caught and it is proven, let him get the FULL LIMIT OF THE LAW, and thus get rid of that class. As a truth the Negroes of Wichita, in common with the Negroes elsewhere, have enough burdens to bear without having these imaginary and uncertain accusations to account for. We do not condone crime in the black man any more than we condone crime in any other man, but get the criminal and then fix the crime. The white man has the advantage of the Negro in crime, in that he can black his face, do his crime and the Negro suffers, while the Negro must wear his own skin and color. Let us have justice—that's all we ask. Do not measure our potatoes in some one else's short half bushel. Give us a show before fastening crimes at our doors. Johnstons Restaurant, 339 N. Main, is the place to get good meals. Ice cream and soda water always on hand. GOOD FOR INVALID DISHES THAT WILL TEMPT FAIL-ING APPETITE. Proper Way to Prepare Beef Tea—Mulled and Beef Jelly—Light Soup for the Sick or Delicate. Beef tea—Very nice beef tea is made by cutting up juicy beef into one-inch squares, put into a strong bottle or jar, seal tightly and set in a kettle of cold water. Boil it about two hours. The fluid then obtained will be the pure nutriment of the meat, and the tonic effects are powerful. A physician once told me that this was the only way beef tea should ever be made. Mulled jelly—Take one tablespoonful of currant or grape jelly, beat it with the white of an egg and a little loaf sugar, pour on it one-half pint of boiling water and break in a slice of dry toast or two crackers. Minced chicken—Take the breast of a cold roast chicken and mince it fine; add half a teaspoon of cornstarch, together with five or six tablespoons of milk, and boil, stir in the minced chicken; when heated serve on moistened toast. Beef Jelly—Take one pound of round steak, free from fat, cut in small pieces and put in wide-mouthed bottle, barely cover the meat with cold water and let it boil one hour; add to the juice thus obtained two wine glasses best sherry wine, the juice of one lemon and a quarter of a box of gelatine or enough to set the jelly; pour into small cups and set away to cool; turn out upon a saucer when ready to serve. Delightful and nutritious. Milk and cinnamon drink—Boll in one pint of new milk sufficient cinnamon to flavor and sweeten it with white sugar; this may be taken cold with a tearpoon of brandy. This is very good in diarrhoea. Roasted apples—Take tart apples, wipe clean and put in oven to roast. As soon as they are soft to the core take them out to cool. Serve with sugar and cream. Boiled eggs—Put the eggs into boiling water and boil 15 minutes for an invalid. Eggs boiled considerably are easily digested by the most delicate stomach. Sometimes physicians direct that the patient have eggs which have been boiled two hours. Soup for invalids—Boil two pounds lean veal and a quarter pound of pearl barley in a quart of water very slowly until it becomes the consistency of cream. Pass it through a sieve and salt to taste. Flavor with celery seed. Very nourishing. Tutti Frutti Jelly. Two quarts each of sour cherries, red raspberries, currants, and one quart of gooseberries; wash the fruit and stone the cherries. Put the raspberries, currants and gooseberries in a kettle; cover with cold water and boil until all are cooked up. Put through a jelly bag, and to each cup of juice measure out a $ ^{2</sup> cup of granulated sugar. Put the sugar in a shallow pan into the oven to warm. Put the juice with the cherries on the fire and boil hard 20 minutes. Add the heated sugar; let boil up once more, and pour into jelly glasses. This makes 14 glasses of a clear, tart jelly with the whole cherries through it. Tinting Lace. To color lace for a gown, procure a tube of oil paint, the color desired, and squeeze it into a cup of gasoline and stir until dissolved. Then pour into a larger vessel. Dip a small piece of the lace into it and if too deep add more gasoline until the shade desired is obtained. When it is the right color put all the lace into it. After a few minutes take out, shake gently and dry in the open air. Flowers and straw may be tinted by the same method. Bath of Almond Oil. It is a good plan to soak the hands in sweet almond oil every night at bedtime. After pouring the oil into a bowl immerse the hands for several minutes, finally wiping them gently with a soft towel. Draw on a pair of loose gloves for the night. Try this for a week. When you bathe the hands during the day use warm water, substituting oatmeal for soap. Careful and thorough drying is a decided factor in preserving the beauty of the hands. Rev. Samuel M. Hall THE LIFE AND LABORS OF REV. SAMUEL M. HALL, PASTOR SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH OF WICHITA, KANSAS. The life and labors of Rev. Samuel M. Hall, attested by the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Birmingham, Ala. Rev. S. M. Hall, son of Berry Hall REV. SAMUEL M. HALL and Amanda Hall, was born in Walker Co., Ala., Oct. 26th, 1869. During his boyhood days, he succeeded in acquiring only a Grammar School Education. But after his marriage to Miss Dicia Davis, Jan. 8th, 1885, and his conversion, Oct. 4th, 1885, he felt impressed with a call to the gospel ministry. He was endowed with an unusual amount of natural gifts; and hence met with the hearty acceptance of the churches. He was early pressed into the public work of the gospel ministry, and was set apart by the laying on of hands, Oct. 26th, 1887. Realizing that he was not prepared to do the work he matriculated in the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Academy, Birmingham, Ala., and later in Selma University, Selma, Ala. His reputation in both these institutions is unsullied. He has had charge of some of our best churches, among which are the WE WONDER! WE WONDER! We wonder if the fact that the public schools are soon to open in Wichita in a "mixed form" and a desire of some element of the white folks to raise a strong public sentiment against the Negro and make it appear "too dangerous" for the two to "be mixed" in school, has anything to do with the so sudden outburst of alleged Negro criminality? One thing is noticeable—that all the "alleged assaults" are either reported from Negro settlements or close thereby—the most improbable places for them to actually happen. In vicinities where there are few Negroes living everything is serene and calm. Looks shady doesn't it? We do not mean to discredit the positive statement of any one assaulted that their assailant may have "looked black"—but to accomplish their aims in matters like this—men who desire—take chances with wigs and burnt cork. Such has been the case—and may be again. It has ben the case that whenever certain classes of whites wish to do the Negro some harm—they resort to wigs and burnt cork, and start right after scarring the women folks, and the hue and cry soon goes up—Negro—Negro—Negro—when in fact the Negro is innocent. Another peculiar thing about these Wichita cases is that the alleged "assailant" does not seek money, nor at tempts any act uncomely, but simply grabs their victims or hits them—What motive? Bring this matter in the open and let us all see about it. We were just wondering if the school New Zion, Bessemer, Ala. First Baptist, Warrior, Ala. Mt. Zion, East Lake, Ala. Before leaving us for his second trip to the West, Sept. 10th, 1902, he served his denomination as President of the Mt. Pilgrim District Sunday School Convention, Vice-President of the State Sunday School Convention, and Secretary of the Ministers' Conference of Birmingham and Suburban Towns, consisting of about sixty-three mem- bers. He was also elected principal of the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Academy and District Missionary, but declined to accept either position. Rev. Hall left the District in good standing with his brethren and highly esteemed by them, as a man of unquestionable character. If ever he returns, our doors will be opened to him, and he will be gladly welcomed home. It is because of Rev. Hall's worth, as a gospel minister and a Christian gentleman, that we hereby commend him to the confidence of our brethren in the Lord everywhere. Done by order of the Baptist Ministers' Conference, of Birmingham Ala., February 6th, 1906. question could be at the bottom of this matter. While we have no grounds on which to base our suspicions yet, all things considered there is good room for an argument and a good one, too. STORAGE CHEAP at the Miller Storage Co., 634 N. Water.

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.

The fact of the mater is that no one paid any attention to this incident except the morning daily's reporter. Mrs. Case's car was filled with white passengers to the brim who showed no signs of disturbance and no white employee of the company thought of the incident. GRAHAM DON'T CARE. The editor of the Searchlight was an eye-witness to the whole incident which led to the discharge of Officer W. L. Herman. He saw the white man jerk from the officer and hit the officer. We saw the white fellow when he knocked the officer's helmet off with a blow on the officer's cheeks—and we saw the fellow rush at the of- ficer and run his right hand in his pant pocket—when Officer Herman hit him twice. We saw the Mayor (?) (What) when he rushed on the scene and heard the Mayor (?) order the officer to the station. The editor went A STORAGE PLACE. W. N. Miller is having the rear room at 634 N.

TABERNACLE BAPTIST CHURCH TABERNACLE BAPSTIST CHURCH. Last Sunday was another very warm day, though this had no material effect on our services. At 11 o'clock a. m. Pastor H. I. Jones preached to an appreciative audience from the text, "Leave her alone; why trouble you the woman." This was the Sojourners of Truth Mission Circle day and the women spared no pains in making this a great day. All seemed filled with the Holy Ghost. At 12:30 p. m. the Sunday school had a very large attendance and the lessons were instructively taught by superintendent and teachers. Kev. Wes' class of young ladies again won the banner by a large per centage. The Sunday school is truly, in its glory. The program rendered by the women at 4:30 p. m. was an excellent one and showed that the writers of papers had given their subjects careful study and all present enjoyed these splendid productions. The singing by the choir was of high order and as the music pealed forth many hearts were touched by the spirit of God. Mrs. Gertrude White and Mrs. Logan's services in assisting the choir were greatly appreciated. Pastor Hall and his loyal people also gave able assistance. At 8 p. m. the pastor preached from Acts 26:26. This was another of his special sermons. At the close four came forward for prayer. There were two received into the membership of the church during the day. Monday at 2:30 the Mission Circle met at the church and perfected arrangements for their representative in BUY LUMBER AT METZ'S Corner Of 3rd & Main the association at Winfield. Their watchword is on to Winfield. Tuesday at 8 p. m. prayermeeting services were conducted by Mr. Chas Price and Mrs. L. Biggus. This was a great meeting. Rev. Wm. Turner of Pratt was also present and the praise services were shortened and Bishop Turner delivered an impressive sermon from Rev. 2:17. We are always glad to have him with us. Services next Sunday will be as follows: Preaching, 11 a. m.; Sunday school, 12:30 p. m.; B. Y. P. U., 5:30 and 6:30 p. m.; preaching at 8 p. m. Baptismal services after sermon at night. All are cordially invited to these services. In a time where so much alleged "crime" is rampant, Wichita's featherweight Mayor gives little encouragement to his policemen to risk their lives to stop crime when he unceremoniously discharges a competent and efficient officer who is performing his duty as was the case when our little Johnny discharged Officer Herman on Monday evening. Graham will go out of the mayor's office the most dispisable dispised man who ever lived. And he will deserve it. Mrs. Elmer Johnson returned home Monday from Topeka, Kansas City and Paola, where she has been visiting relatives and friends for several weeks. She reports having had a splendid time.

Wright, formerly pharmacist with the Olden Drug Store, this city, but now with the Makin Eye Drug Co. of Parsons, Knm., were very proud to greet Dr. Wright in Wichita Monday on a short visit and to recognize his pleasant smiles and grasp his friendly hands. One hand could not shake the hands of the many friends of the doctor and he had to call both hands into play to accommodate all. Dr. Wright's trip in Wichita was a hasty one and he simply "stopped over a short while" as he said to meet "the boys" and winking the other eye he said "the ladies, too." During his employment in Wichita Dr. Wright made many friends who are always glad to see him. He made the Searchlight office an agreeable and pleasing call. Come again. D. K.

Phone 232 245 N. Market THE SEARCHLIGHT THE SEARCHLIGHT WICHITA, KANSAS. Increase of Gold. Gold was the substance for which all the world hungered, and yet when Columbus discovered America there was less than $250,000,000 of it in all Europe. Surely it has been a difficult substance to find. Centuries had passed, during which this yellow metal had been carefully hoarded, and yet all of Europe had less than a quarter of a billion of it. That was a matter of 415 years ago. When the great explorer set sail for unknown shores the world was increasing its stock of gold at the rate of less than $4,000,000 annually. It would therefore take Europe 60 years to duplicate its gold holdings. When another hundred years had passed the output had increased to $6,000,000 annually. There was nothing startling in such an increase. To bring this about it has been necessary to ransack the treasures of Peru, Mexico and other new countries. Once more we move the hand of time forward a hundred years until we come to 1700, in which year the average gold production is only $7,000,000 yearly. Certain there was no reason to fear an over-production of gold. Another hundred years brings us to 1800, in which comparatively modern time the annual production of gold, was only $12,000,000. Thus we find, says Frederick U. Adams, in Success, that, during the three centuries following the discovery of America, the world's average annual increase in gold was $26,666. Had this modest ratio been maintained for the next hundred years, the total production of gold in 1900 would have been about $15,000,000. How much do you suppose it actually was? Double that amount? Three times it. Make another guess. It was $262,209,915! Reprehensible Habits. One of the strangest paradoxes in human nature is that men and women, struggling apparently with all their might to succeed, are yet constantly doing things, saying things, and thinking things which drive the very success they are after away from them. They are all the time counteracting their efforts by some indiscretion. Men work like Trojans to get a coveted position, and then, by getting puffed up with conceit, or by some foolish or weak act, knock the scaffolding, which they have been years in building, out from under them, and down they go. Their lives are a series of successive climbs and tumbles, so that they never get anywhere, never accomplish anything worth while. There are thousands of men who are working in very ordinary salaried positions, says New York Weekly, who might have been employers themselves but for some unfortunate weakness, some little deficiency in their natures, or some peculiarity—something which might have been remedied by a little discipline and self-study in youth. Others are always driving success away from them by their doubts, their fears, their lack of courage, their lack of confidence—driving it away by reprehensible habits which repel success conditions. One by one Chicago is losing the laurels forced upon it by jealous rivals. A few days ago statistics were published showing that Switzerland led us as a divorce center and now a doctor who has been down on his knees to see rises to say that the girls of Great Britain are developing feet that will make the Chicago girl's trilbys look like those Cinderella wore when she made her great hit. With the head of the male Briton growing smaller and the foot of the female Briton growing larger, remarks the Chicago News, we may well accept the deduction that man over there is soon to be the weaker sex. It is to be hoped that the girls will be kind to him when, at last, he has found his proper place. By racking his memory doubtless he will be able to recall many times when he was kind to them during the days of his supposed superiority. Automobile sore throat and influenza is the latest disease. It is not, however, as some may think, or even hope, the person who rides in an automobile who gets the disease, but the people who have to breathe the dust that they stir up. Long Island residents, whose roads are favorite thoroughfares for the hated vehicles, are the only ones so far who are suffering from this malady, but of course it will spread. Perhaps the thread trust craftily put out the story that the price of cotton was to be advanced to ten cents a spooi so that the public could feel so relieved when it was denied as to forget all about the advance from five to six cents at retail.

Somers, and the new school teacher sitting on the south porch, and had disappeared down the road, the young woman spoke of him with some curiosity. "I understand from Mrs. Bascomb that her husband was very deaf, 'almost stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm sure," said the school teacher. "But he seemed to hear all we said with perfect ease." Capt. Somers leaned toward her and spoke in a low, cautious tone, although there was no eavesdropper to hear him. "Don't let Mis' Bascomb know it,' he said, hurriedly. "He does seem to hear pretty well when she ain't round, but none of us folks ever let on to her. She's a good woman as ever lived, but a most tromendous bosser and an everlastin' talker. An' we all think that Gersh Bascomb begun to realize ten years ago that if he didn't want to be harried right off'n the face o' the earth, the thing for him to do was to grow deef, gradual, but steady—an' he's done it, to all intents an' purposes, ma'am!" — Youth's Companion. LEFT IT TO THE OLD HENS. Amateur Fancier Thought His Responsibility Had Ended. An Indiana man, tells of the efforts of an author belonging to the Hoosier school of historical novelists to put in his leisure time as a "hen farmer" in that state. The literary person's venture afforded his agricultural neighbors no end of amusement. During the first year the amateur farmer discovered that all his little chickens, which were confined in coops, were languishing at the point of death. The novelist went over his "hen literature" to locate the cause of the trouble, but to no avail. Finally he called upon an old chap named Rawlins, to whom he put the question: "What do you suppose is the matter with those chickens?" "Well, I dunno," said Rawlins. "What do you feed 'em?" "Feed them!" exclaimed the novelist-farmer. "Why, I don't feed them anything!" "Then, how'd you suppose they was a gain' to live?" "I presumed," replied the literary person, "that the old hens had milk enough for them now."—Lippincott's Magazine. The Crack in His Armor. "It's a good thing for a man to be a little bald," said the girl as they walked along in the rear of one beneath whose hat showed a small bare half moon. "It takes the conceit out of them. Now there's John. He has a bald spot that he has spent about a hundred dollars on to no effect. When he gets too smart all I have to do is to glance carelessly toward that vulnerable spot and he subsides immediately." Her Secret Sorrow. "That woman over there has some hidden sorrow," declared the sympathetic one, as she came in and took her seat at a table not far away. "I have often noticed her. See. Her companion orders everything she could possibly want, and yet she sits there silent with a face like a mask. I am awfully sorry for her." "Don't you worry," advised her pessimistic friend. "That's her husband with her. She's bored, that's all." A Country Marvel. The little fresh air boy was comfortably quartered in a farm house near the salt water for his summer's outing. The first day he strolled down the road to the marshes and he stared in astonishment at the cat-tails growing there. Then turning around to a native of the place who was accompanying him he said: "Gosh; I didn't know that sausages grow on sticks." WHAT'S THE USE? To Pour in Coffee When It Acts as a Vicious Enemy. Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time but no one can go without sleep. "For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vigorous," says a Calif. woman. "Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum removed it. "My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach; lately hardly a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. "Finally he tried a cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum in its place and says he has not once been troubled with sour stomach." Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it. Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this but it easily proved. A ten day's trial works wonders. "There's a Reason."

MAIL BAGS STILL MISSING No Clue Yet to the Perpetrators of $250,000 Robbery on the Burlington. MAIL CLERKS WERE ASLEEP ON DUTY Authorities Believe the Robbery Took Place Just West of the Nebraska Line—Chicago Police Working on a Clew That May Bring Results Soon. Omaha, Aug. 22.—Absolutely no clew has yet been obtained to the perpetrators of the $250,000 mail sack robbery on the Burlington fast mail somewhere between Omaha and Denver. Although Burlington railroad officials in Omaha, Chicago and Denver deny that any robbery took place, the post office officials and postal inspectors at Omaha, the headquarters of this postal division, acknowledge that the registered pouches have been stolen. Up to Wednesday morning no light has been shed on the theft. Government officials are working on the case, and the Burlington has all of its available detectives at work. The mail was stolen from an eastbound car on the main line of the Burlington. It was to have been transferred at Oxford from the Kansas City train to the Chicago train. Supt. J. M. Butler of the sixth division of railway mail clerks believes the robbery took place just west of the Nebraska line. Both mail clerks were asleep while the train was passing over long stretches of track with few stations. Butler believes some one slipped into the mail car and threw three sacks out of the window. He has ascertained that the valuables were all in two of the sacks, one being empty. Seven sacks of registered mall were placed on the Kansas City train leaving Denver over the Burlington Sunday night. These sacks were destined for Chicago and were supposed to be placed on the Chicago train at Oxford, Neb. Two of the registered sacks were missing when Oxford was reached. Postoffice officials have all been warned to be cautious about giving out information on the robbery. Chicago, Aug. 22.—The local police are working on a clew in connection with the mail robbery of $250,000 Sunday night on the Burlington railroad. A bulky package was mailed to Chicago from a point near Denver shortly after the robbery. The police have the name of the man to whom it was addressed and say he is such a person as would be chosen as an intermediary for thieves. There is nothing definite as yet in the story. Washington, Aug. 22.—The post office department has received no official advices regarding the robbery of three registered mail pouches on the Burlington railroad between Denver and Oxford, Neb. It is pointed out that as no declarations of value are made on registered packages, as in the case of express packages, the only way of approximating the actual loss would be through the senders. It is stated at the department that if both the postal clerks on the train were asleep at the time of the robbery that they were guilty of neglect, as one of them is required to be awake at all times.

The Nebraskan's Train Derailed While Going to the Rockford, Ill., Chautauqua. Belvidere, Ill., Aug. 22—As William Jennings Bryan adjusted his neck tie and brushed the cinders from his trousers, after emerging safely from a wreck near here Tuesday on the Chicago and Northwestern road, he reflectively murmured, "Four." Then drawing out his diary he noted down the location and the date, with these words, "Fourth time a wreck has occurred on my various journeys to speak at the Rockford chautauqua. Where is the silver lining?" With words of encouragement to the train crew and other passengers who all escaped uninjured, Mr. Bryan joined the line of refugees who wended their way up the track for more than a mile and a half. At Belvidere, Mr. Bryan took a trolley and made the chautauqua grounds behind schedule time. The wreck on the Northwestern which delayed Mr. Bryan was caused by the baggage car taking an open switch. Three coach were ditched. Mr. Bryan was in one of the day coaches that was derailed. Will Test Kansas Tax Law Topeka, Kan., Aug. 22.—Shawnee county, through its board of county commissioners and county attorney, will test the constitutionality of the new state assessment and taxation law whereby the state tax commission was created in the courts at once. The exemption of lodge property from assessment and taxation is the point they claim that makes it defective. The law provides that all buildings and property belonging to benevolent and fraternal orders which are situated under rooms for lodge purposes shall be exempt from taxation. It is figured that this exemption if valid would remove $1,500,000 of property in Shawnee county from the tax rolls. Want Government Troops. Washington, Aug. 22.—Representatives of the telegraph companies called upon Gen. Bell, chief of staff, at the war department Tuesday evening in relation to an attack upon the non-union telegraph operators at the relay point at Ashfork, Ariz. Tuesday. They desired the national government to provide a military guard at that point to protect the operators against another attack. Gen. Bell pointed out that their recourse is to apply to the governor of the territory. If he decided that troops were necessary it would be his duty to call upon President Roosevelt who, Gen. Bell said, without doubt, would honor the request. Robbers Burn Six Buildings. House Born Six AX Wamego, Kan., Aug. 22.—A fire that broke out in a hardware store in the small town of Louisville, three miles north of Wamego Tuesday morning, destroyed six buildings in the heart of the town. After the fire was put out it was discovered that the safe in the Vermillion Hardware store had been blown open with dynamite. It is believed that the fire was started either by the explosion or by the robbers to cover their work. There is no clue to the identity of the robbers. Gen. Palmers' Reunion.

The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap' from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time.

A house may be architecturally perfect and yet not fit to live in, and it certainly is not if there is not closet room enough. Fresh Fuel.

FOOD FACTS Grape-Nuts FOOD A Body Balance People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or oats. Ten pounds of meat might contain more nourishment than one pound of Grape-Nuts; but not in shape that the system will absorb as large a proportion of, as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts. This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are prepared and by natural means predigested, transformed into a form of sugar, ready for immediate assimilation. People in all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. A Mo. man says: "I have gained ten pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can truly recommend it to thin people." He had been eating meat, bread, etc., right along, but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food is that its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with unhealthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body in a condition of true health. Scientific selection of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious, flavor and powerful nourishing properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape-Nuts famous. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville" in page THE EDDY SUIT DISMISSED Famous Case Brought to Sudden End at Concord, N. H., by Action of Plaintiffs. NOTHING TO BE GAINED BY A DECISION Former Senator Chandler Said the Principal Reason for Withdrawing the Suit Was the Unprofitableness of a Verdict to the "Next Friends." Concord, N. H., Aug. 22.—The famous suit in equity brought on March 1, last, by George W. Glover, son of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, and others as "next friends" against Calvin S. Frye and others, for an accounting of the property of the aged head of the Christian Science church came to an abrupt end Wednesday. Immediately after the opening of court in the continued hearing regarding Mrs. Eddy's competency before Judge Edgar Aldrich and his co-masters, William E. Chandler, senior counsel for the next friends announced having filed a motion for dismissal of the suit. He said that there were many reasons for this action but the principal one was "the unprofitableness of any immediate result of a decision in our favor upon the exact issue as now framed, compared with the burdens and disadvantages to be endured by us both before and after such a decision." This was the second day of the second week of the masters hearing upon the competency of Mrs. Eddy. Upon the masters taking their seats, William E. Chandler, senior counsel for the next friends, addressed the court, saving: "May it please the court, it will doubtless be a relief to the masters to be informed that the counsel for the next friends have this day filed with the clerk of the court a motion for the dismissal of the pending suit and that they hereby withdraw their appearance before the masters without asking from them any finding upon the question submitted to them by Judge Chamberlain. There are many reasons for this action. The principal one arises from a consideration of the unprofitableness of any immediate result of a decision in our favor upon the exact issue as now framed; compared with the burdens and disadvantages to be endured by us, both before and after such a decision. The suit has been almost wholly altruistic in its nature and not a single dollar of the large fortune whose existence is disclosed, or which might be enlarged in consequence of this suit, can become at this time the property of the next friends. There are also reasons, sentimental in their character, overcoming the strong desire of the next friends to prove the facts and vindicate the reasons upon which the suit has been based—which, however, is now hereby dismissed." Mr. Chandler then formally presented a motion for the dismissal of the suit. Mr. Streeter, counsel for Mrs. Eddy, in her behalf, at once presented a motion that the masters proceed with the hearing and determine her competency to manage her business affairs. "If we are allowed to proceed," said Mr. Streeter, "we should show how that on February 21, 1907, Mrs. Eddy began to arrange for the management of her property for the rest of her life and provide for her kindred during that time." Mr. Streeter reviewed the institution and progress of the accounting suit, which he characterized as primarily an assault by a great newspaper upon a great religion—a religion which its founder had designed to promote after her death by the use of a large part of her fortune. "Not one word of testimony has been introduced," said Mr. Streeter, "to show that one dollar of the money had ever been misappropriated. The charge of her incompetency has competely collapsed. It is now stated in the press that the next friends will abandon this suit for the purpose of awaiting Mrs. Eddy's death and then contesting her will. Mrs. Eddy has a legal right to a finding of her competency upon the case as it now stands or upon such further evidence as she may introduce." Mr. Streeter demanded from the masters a finding to that effect. Judge Aldrich said the issue submitted to them was purely a property question. He continued: "The next friends having withdrawn from this hearing and announced that they will withdraw the suit from the superior court, there is nothing left for us to hear and we do not think we should be justified in going forward with an ex parte hearing. "We shall make a report to Judge Chamberlain containing all the evidence and the happenings of Wednesday. In case we are in error in respect to the effect of next friends withdrawal, Judge Chamberlain can direct us to resume the hearing. "Without such order we do not think we should be justified in going forward with this hearing." In reply to a question by Judge Aldrich, Mr. Streeter said he would take exception to this ruling.

The Famous Simmons Ranch South of San Antonio is Now on the Market —Investigate This and Get in Before it is Too Late; Messrs. F. L. Beatty and I. F. Isham, of Carnegie, Okla., and G. A. Severns, of Mountain View, Okla., all well known, reliable gentlemen, write: Carnegie, Okla., March 12, 1907. Dr. C. F. Simmons, San Antonio, Texas. Dear Sir: We left Oklahoma on the morning of the 6th of March to visit your Atascosa County lands, for the purpose of seeing the land and investigating your proposition for ourselves, and our neighbors who are contemplating purchasing. We will some time on the ranch and satisfied ourselves thoroughly that the land was all that you had represented, it to be. The soil is fine and the water is as good as can be. We have brought away samples of soil taken from different places,棉花, Alfalfa, Wheat and Corn that can be seen by calling at the office of F. L. Beatty, at Carnegie, Oklahoma. This land will produce anything that is planted upon it if properly cultivated. We stood on top of the hill in the Musgrove pasture, and could see for miles in every direction, almost over the entire property. This land is all irrigable, and sufficient water can be obtained to irrigate the entire property. We are entirely satisfied to recommend the proposition to our people. The only thing needed to make this a great country is a railroad, and we have your assurance that it will be built at an early date. If you can satisfy the people that this railroad will be built through this land within any reasonable time, there will be no trouble about finding purchasers for every farm and lot that you have got.

SIMMONS. You Look Prematurely Old In Cornish (Eng.) chapels the invariable rule is for the men to sit on one side of the building and the women on the other. A visitor and his fliancee, who are staying in the district, went to chapel, and just before the service began the young man was greatly astonished when the chapel steward, observing that the couple were seated in the same pew, came over to him and, in an audible voice, said: "Come on out of that, me son; we don't 'ave no sweetheart' 'ere.' Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. A Big Loser.

Little Bartholomew's mother overheard him swearing like a mule driver, says the Cleveland Leader. He displayed a fluency that overwhelmed her. She took him to task, explaining the wickedness of profanity as well as its vulgarity. She asked him where he had learned all those dreadful words. Bartholomew announced that Cavert, one of his playmates, had taught him. Cavert's mother was straightway informed and Cavert was brought to book. He vigorously denied having instructed Bartholomew, and neither threats nor tears could make his confess. At last he burst out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew any cuss words. Why should I know how to cuss any better than he does? Hasn't his father got an automobile, too?" Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Punishment by Inches. A Bergen (Genesee county) justice of the peace has adopted an original scheme for the dispensation of justice. Henry Meyer, 27 years old and seven feet two inches tall, was a prisoner in his court for stealing four bags of oats. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail, one day for each inch of stature and one for each bag—Nunda (N. Y.) News. Large Sum for Pasteur Institute. Daniel Osiris, the Jewish banker and philanthropist, of Paris, who recently died, left a will in which he disposed of $13,000,000, giving $5,000,000 to the Pasteur institute. You L Because of the "One can never be too careful about apparently harmless articles setting about the house," said a housewife the other day. "Not long ago my husband brought home one of those big tall bottles of ink from the office. It had got to be such a nuisance buying one of the small five-cent bottles every time we ran out of ink, that he said he would bring home a supply. "About a week after that I got a new maid, and when she did the washing she took the big bottle of ink for bluing. Of course every stitch of our white clothes in the washing was ruined." With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-walst just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron. The Reason Why. "How did you come here?" said one Mexican bull to an old acquaintance, as they met in the arena. "How?" replied the other, with a glance around. "I may say I was roped in."

The Manchester canal was built at a cost of $75,000,000 to reduce freight rates for a distance of 35 miles, and, while it did not prove a good interest bearing investment on such a large expenditure, its indirect and more permanent benefits are said to have warranted it. Germany has 3,000 miles of canal, carefully maintained, besides 7,000 miles of other waterway. France, with an area less than we would consider a large state, has 3,000 miles of canal; and in the northern part, where the canals are most numerous, the railways are more prosperous. England, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium are all contemplating further extension and improvement of their canal systems.—Century Magazine.

When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state of purity and richness we are assured of perfect and uninterrupted health; because pure blood is nature's safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased conduction as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it.

Deacon Jasper Wave is on the sick list and intends going back to his ‘old home for a few months visit and to try and regain his health, Our little city has always been peaceful and we hope the ragtime music will not take possession of, our homes. We hope to hear in’the homes lof our best people music that Is heard in the church, “Nearer My God to ‘Thee,” or “Jesus Lover of My Soul.” ‘This will say, to, the world we are Christians and on our journey home. ‘The old time ‘corn shucking and rag- time ts a thing of the past.

ALL THINGS ARE WELL. ‘That ends well—so pay your subserip- tion to the Searchlight and get a good ae sleep. : THE BEACON RIGHT. | We egree with our eventing dally: ‘The Beacon, in its Tuowday"s artete, “Riot Stories are Yellow” in which be the pleasure and practice of some “race articles”—the Negro this, the ‘Negro that—without any’ real or sure imaginary foundation for the truth of the assertions, While the papers that carry on this practice to say something mean with the Negro attached—may ive another object than to do the Negro harm—whieh we trust is the case, yet the Negro is really the ob- ject that receives the harm, ‘All the Negroes of Wichita ask of the morn- ing and evening papers Is fairness and that they have some facts and foun- dations to these blood-curdling stories before they are printed, which only tend to incite race hatred and does no one good. ‘The Searchlight believes that the editor in chief of both the morning and evening dailies are both friendly to their colored constituents and would not be responsible for any unpleasant ness. ‘They may be aiming at some one jelse, but the Negro receives the bullet. It is a well known and recognized fact—that in Wichita, as all over |America—the Negro has been so Jug- lgled and fibbled that the race fever Is now at fever heat and it only takes la spark to set agog some racial con- flict which all would avert, If the negro press would take the same in- flammatory step in writing which is maintained by the whité press, “hell would soon be to pay,” so we say the Beacon is right when it calls ‘a halt on this style of news writing. Tel facts and ‘facts only. | The Searchlight is now prepared to do your job work in better and more up-to-date style than ever before. Glys your race people a chance. CARE OF THE LAMP Burners and Wicks Must Be Weld Looked After and Properly Cleaned—Chimneys Should Be Boiled. ‘The tamps should first be coilecte® from every room, and ali put to gether on a large tray in the kitchen. Then a big wooden box is brought out, which contains greasy cloths, soft cloths, a pair of old gloves, wick’ Tags, scissors, chamois leather and: chimney cleaners. Opinions are di! vided as to whether a wick should be cut or rubbed down, The best way is: to rub it down with a bit of raz which. should he burned, and not put back in’ the box, and then any stray ends of| cotton eut off with scissors. Great} care shouid be taken to hold the burn- er well away from the lamp, when the wick is rubbed down, otherwise the' charred portions are apt to fall ow to it. : Once a month the burners should be boiled. Remove -the wicks, and then place the whole of the burner— first releasing its various portions from pne another—in a saucepan of water with a little soda, and bring to: the boil. Twenty to thirty minutes’: boiling will make the burners as bright as ever they were, and should, any black still adhere it can be re moved with a hatpin, after which the burner is boiled up agair, Of course a saucepan must be kept specially for this, and it should be either plainly marked or kept away from other culinary utensils, as food cooked in it would be unpleasantly flavored. The burners must be thor- oughly dried and, if possible, put im the sun for a few minutes. Mean- while the wicks must have been seen to. If very dirty they should be washed out in clean suds, but usually a thorough drying in the sun or in @ warm kitchen will put them in condi- tion for burning properly. It is ex- tremely important that they should be quite dry before being put back into the ofl. Daily cleansing of every lamp in use should be as much a part of the housewife's duties as making the beds. Another precaution to teke to pre~ vent wicks from smoking is to boil them. Buy them in bunches, place in a porcelain kettle, cover with. strong vinegar, bring the latter to a boil, and set where the kettle will keep warm for three hours. Drain out the wick, ary thoroughly, and keep from dust. Wicks thus soaked rarely smoke. It chimneys are bought in quantity and boiled, they also may be pre- vented in a great measure from break- ing. Lay some shavings in the bot- tom of a wash boiler, pack in the chimneys, throw a handful of salt’ over them, and fill with cold water. Allow to come to a boil slowly, sim- mer /or two hours, then take from the fire; cover thickly, so that they will! be at least three hours in — cooling. When ecld, wash the chimneys in hot: water in which a little soda has been: dissolved. Rinse in hot water, dry, and store in a cupboard. Chimneys should also be washed in hot soda eat: How to Shrink Fabrics. All kinds of dress goods should be shrunk before making up. Goods that are shrunk properly will noi spot with water and will not lose their shape by exposure to the rain, Secure a smooth board such as is used to wind dress zoods on at any dry goods store, a piece of white muslin the same length as the goods to be sponged— an old sheet torn in two will do. Wring the muslin out of clean water. Lay upon a table, placé goods upon it, and wind goods and damp cloth to- gether upon the board, turning over carefully to. avoid wrinkles. When fin- ished, put goods on a flat surface with a weight on top, leave over night, remove goods, and hang up to dry over a pole. The goods then may be pressed when made up by using a damp cloth and pressing over it with fairly hot iron. Sasa forlSeur watie. A dish.of Dutch, or cottage, cheese can be made of sour milk. Sour mille makes soft, spongy, light cake, corm bread, graham bread, ginger bread, ‘molasses cookies, doughnuts, and grid- dle cakes are much better made with sour milk and soda than sweet mille and baking powder. Sour milk Is excellent to feed chick- ens. Ollcloth washed with sour milk and rinsed well is much brighter look- ing. Fruit stains may be removed from linen or white goods by soaking fn sour milk. Rinse well. Salt meat and fish can be freshened by soaking over night in sour milk. Buttermilk is claimed by some phy- sicians to cure various ills, such ‘as indigestion, kidney and liver troubles. Sour milk Will gure ivy poisoning. Witte Heth tis, Wat Round or sirloin steak may be made ‘more tender by marinating for a couple of hours* before broiling im three tablespoonfuls of olive oil ana one of vinegar. Biscuits and cake shortened with olive ofl are good. Use one table- spoonful of the ofl to one cup of flour end one teaspoonful of baking pow- er, mixing as usual. If the article fried in the ofl fs: not ‘90 rich so that the fryings out of it mingle with the olive of} diluting it, the oil may be skimmed, a bay leat passed over it and it can then be used \ number of times. .

Stranger (who has yelled himself hoarse over Jinks' telephone without getting any reply)—See here, I can't do anything with this telephone. Jinks (with an air of innocence)—Did you wish to speak to any one, sir? "Certainly." "Oh! It has been disconnected for about a month." "Disconnected. You didn't say anything about it." "I thought everybody knew we had disconnected our telephone on account of the bores. I didn't know you wished to talk to any one, sir. I supposed you merely desired to exercise your lungs."—N. Y. Weekly. "Do you think the study of the dead languages is valuable?" "I should say so," answered the apothecary. "The Latin name of a drug sometimes constitutes two-thirds of its cost to the purchaser." Commissioner of Corporations Smith has made a report to President Roosevelt on the methods of the Standard Oil company in which the claim of the concern that it has been a benefit to consumers is disproved. The third congress of the Esperantists will assemble at Cambridge, England, for a ten days' session. Delegates from all over the world will attend.
