A Deep Laid Plot Against Wichita Negroes A TIMELY DISCOVERY Saves A Deplorable Outrage NINETH YEAR. A Deep Laid Against Wife Ugly Plot Unearthed A Blood A TIMELY Saves A Deplo A quiet investigation of the many reports of criminality among the Negroes of Wichita during the past few days has unearthed and brought to light a deep-seated, dark and well laid plan on the part of certain individuals to poison the minds of the Citizens of Wichita against its Negro population and throw the whole city into a great racial conflict. So well was the plans laid and so determined were those behind them that only the fact that those responsible know that their plans have been fully discovered and are being hourly watched, will possibly save Wichita from being the scene of one of those henious race conflicts which have besmirched the good name of other American cities in the past. It is now known that while the average Wichitan, both white and black, were going about their usual affairs—in their usual quiet and friendly way—and while both races were living in superb peace and harmony one toward the other—at that same moment plans were being carefully laid by which the public mind should be wrought to fever heat against the Negro—and, if possible—cause a great and wicked race conflict in Wichita—such as the west has never known. But by a super-human incident, born of divine origin, the plans of those who would throw the two races in Wichita into a deadly combat have been discovered, and their plans upset—and for all time to come, it is hoped. The investigation which so miscelliously and accidentally discovered this gigantic plan by which the planers had hoped that in one night the Negro population of Wichita would be wiped entirely out, was conceived by the unprecedented and sudden charges ofhenious crime to the Negro of Wichita and it seemed impossible that all this was probable—that so law-abiding a race of people as the Negro of Wichita had always been—should all of a sudden and at once, become so inhuman and monstrous criminals. And the citizens of Wichita who would not and do not sanction plans—such as those unearthed—owe the accidental discovery to one man who had imbibed too freely. in rum and talked in the wrong place and from this drunken man's talk the lives of many have possibly been saved from an untimely, unwarranted and unwarned grave. The discovery of this diabolical and monstrous plan to bring about a clash of the two races in this city shows very vividly to our mind the solemn consideration with which races of men should consider crimes charged against members of some other race. These gigantic plans to slaughter human beings become more audacious to think about when it is known that the plans were not laid to include only the so-called "bad Negro," but were laid so that the "big Negro"—the Negro who had accumulated something and was striving to be somebody, to rear a decent family and live respectable would be the first who would be mad eto feel the plans. It is almost impossible to believe that our beautiful, peaceable, friendly and hospitable Wichita was so near so dark a threatened disaster. With circumstances as they are it is felt best not to go more fully into details in this matter, as from the foregoing it is not necessary to go further. The citizens of Wichita, both white and black, who have the best interest of our growing city at heart and who would not see any unpleasant scenes on any pretense should weigh well and thoughtfully consider. Let peace, prosperity, racial tranquility and harmonious working still continue between all the people of Wichita, regardless to race or color. It is not only not necessary, but it is entirely unfair that drastic measures should be meted out and a whole race be made to suffer in any way for alleged misdeeds of a few. The Negro will deal fairly, openly and honestly with his fellow-townsmen and all he asks is that he be given an opportunity to prove himself. To take advantage of the Negro in matters thus pointed is not the right thing. While the Negro will deal --- fairly, openly and honestly—yet it must not be thought that the Negro is a coward—he is for peace first—and if that he cannot get—then he will take his chances with life or death. The Negroes of Wichita have no complaint to make and—indeed—he makes none at the friendly consideration shown the race by the white people of this city in the past—for it has always been the most contentious, friendly and sympathetic, but in view of the "new spirit" as shown by these deadly plans recently unearthed—it is not amiss that the public should be weaned of the events as they are found to be. A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF A FRIEND (By Sir C. M. Johnson, Omaha.) It is with profound sadness that I learn of the death of Sir Knight Edward Henderson, and I feel his death a personal loss for I new him personally and have ben ultimately associated with him and especially in the work of Tabor at the various G areSndaoiao Tabor at the various Grand Sessions, and I can truthfully say his example is worthy of emulation. No truer Sir Knight ever lived than Sir Knight Henderson. At the Eighth Annual Grand Session held at Salina Sir Knight Henderson succeeded me as G. D. M., and each year after that until year before last at Wichita, Kan., Sir Henderson and myself lways had the honor of assisting the G. D. M. in forming the parades for the Grand Session. He was faithful and a constant attendant to the Grand Session until physical infirmity made it impossible. Sir Knights and Daughters call to your minds the parade at Wichita year before last when Sir Henderson was so weak he rode in a carriage arrayed in his knightly garb, looking pale and thin. The friendship that was cultivated between the deceased Sir Knight and myself lasted until death. Call to your minds, Sir Knights and Daughters, the robust, manly form of Sir Edward Henderson, a perfect type of physical manhood, in the prime of life and in the midst of a career of usefulness and honor. This distinguished Knights was an earnest and enthusiastic, and one who has placed the astle Tabortian, an able and learned of Order of the Temple on a sure and lasting footing. He possessed those attractive qualities which endear him to us as a friend, a true Brother of the Order, a loyal Sir Knight of the Temple of which he attained to the highest rank of his Temple as C. M. It is to his memory as such that this tribute of respect and esteem is paid the character and services of our deceased Sir Knight were a complete exemplification of the principles of the Order. He was a faithful and fearless Sir Knight, having the courage of his convictions and his earnest support gave the Order a strength in its worth purposes—the loss sustained by his Temple in the death of their most eminent Sir Knight have been great indeed, and while his affections bear heavily upon us. I can most earnestly, sympathize with the members of Washington Temple No. 25, K. of P., whose hearts have been saddened as they were called upon to pay the last tribute to their illustrious Sir Knight—whose bones are dust, whose soul is with the saints, I trust.

N. MILLER, Editor. WARFARE A TRADE The phenomena of men voluntarily giving their services to any belligerents that will accept them are curious from ethical viewpoints. Men are supposed to fight because they have grievances—whether the contest at long or short range. The love of fighting purely for the sake of fighting is innate in some human creatures. Warfare becomes to such men a trade, as legitimate as welding an ax against the trees of the forests. The character of the soldier of fortune, or "free lance," is one that pervides history. Since the beginning of man mercenaries have had mention. The desire for embolism isn't confined to any nationality or race. Commentators upon the recent death in this city of Col. J. Y. F. Blake exposed their ignorance of history when they asserted that the Irish furnished the most notable examples, says a writer in the Brooklyn Eagle. The Swiss always have been the free lances of Europe. We know about the Hessians in the American revolution. In the wars of the sixteenth century thousands of soldiers of fortune fought now under one and now under another of opposing banners. Sir Walter Scott, in his delightful study of Capt. Dugal Dalgety, in the "Legend of Montrose," permanently fixed the type of the soldier of fortune in English literature. Men of this type love danger, purely for its own sake. They seek the happy chance of hard blows. Generally specimens of fidelity to their employer, individual or national, they are indifferent to the political or moral aspects of the conduct in which they take such active parts. We have had many examples of these adventurous spirits. Sam Houston was a Virginian by birth, but he couldn't keep out of the fight for Texas freedom from Mexico. William Walker, the Nicaraguan filibuster, was a Tennesseean, and had been a journalist in California; he cared nothing for the people of the Central American state. Gen. Ryan, well known to all working newspaper men of this metropolis in the early seventies, disliked the Cubans almost as much as he loved liberty—the freedom of a fight. He was captured on the Virginius, stood against a wall at Santiago and was shot to death. But, I am sure he died happy! Speaking of Russia, one marvels at the disclosures that a little research gives regarding the part Britons of two generations ago played in her naval battles. Englishmen, as officers of Russian war vessels and as commanders of troops afield, did more than native genius to extend and consolidate the power of the czar by land or sea. Englishmen appear to have been as fond of the campaign of hard knocks as the Irish. Wasn't it Charles Darwin who asserted that human nature has a constant tendency to revert to the primitive type? Does this explain why the savage love of combat revives individuals from time to time? I was living in London when the revolt against the Turks broke out in Herzegovina and spread to Servia, and among my small circle of acquaintances were several mild, scholarly, humane and amiable men, as known to their associates, who hurried off to the mountain fastnesses to kill men, much as they might have gone down to Devonshire for a week-end's pleasant shooting. Guerrilla warfare was the last imaginable kind of life one would have supposed such men to have desired; but they went mad at the prospect of taking human life, of spilling human gore. While You Wait. "Yes," said a florist, "I can work miracles in my business. For instance, I can grow you lettuce while you wait—sweet, crisp lettuce that you may eat for your dinner with the broiled spring chicken. "I do it in this way: I take a handful of lettuce seeds that have been soaked over night in alcohol, and I plant them in a box containing three inches of loam and quicklime. I water this soil, and in ten minutes the seeds burst. GUARD ELECTIVE FRANCHISE, ADVISES GOVERNOR BRADLEY Louisville Herald Former Governor W. O. Bradley delivered an address to the colored people of Louisville, Ky., on "Civic Right-ecusness. Governor Bradley said in part: "Citizenship is the crucial quality in every age and in every government. Along with citizenship there must be an acquisition of property, and an honest dealing with one another. Chief for the advancement of the colored race must be a close guarding of the elective franchise. The man who will sell his vote is worse than one who would steal your purse. "The erection of your churches and the acquisition of education and property indicates that the coiled race possesses elements that will enable it to become a factor in our government. "To the great credit of the race is the fact that never has there been a colored anarchist; but you have well proven yourselves defenders of the flag." "LET THE NEGRO ALONE." Under the above heading the Marshalltown Times-Republican has a most splendid view of the race problem, which is the real solution of this question as we see it. This is what they say: "The best advice on the Negro questions is "Let the Negro alone." Do not abuse him and do not overlaud him or fill his head with notions of ideal equality. Both extremes are bad for the Negro and bad for the settlement of the so-called Negro question. He is here and he will remain here. Let him work out his own salvation. Let him work out his own salvation. Let him alone and he will work out that salvation and he will begin at the right place. The mistake that was made originally was that the theorists of the north placed him on a high perestal of equality in more senses than before the law, and he could do nothing but tumble off. Having tumbled off, the Negro was by many consigned to the failures of the world and by others, like Tillman he was denounced and abused and kicked and burned. "But let the Negro alone. Let him find his place and his work and let him do it. Let him be treated and respected as he deserves, the same as other men. In that way the worthless members of the race will be eliminated and the useful members will fill their mission in the world. If every white man and every black man will attend to his own business there is no Negro question that need give us a great deal of trouble. But if we continue exalting the Negro on the one hand and burning him on the other, there will some day be an acute racial question." NEWTON, KAN., NEWS Mrs. A. J. Tandy is reported much better. Mrs. Stevens and nephew of Kansas City visited in the city Sunday week, visiting her brother, Mr. Alex Ridley. Mrs. Evie Lyons and two daughters left the city Sunday for Peabody. Kan., accompanied by Mrs. Geo. Hall and from there Mrs. Lyons will return to her home at Lincoln, Neb. There was a social given last Friday night at Jordan's hall for the benefit of C. M. E. church. Robert Brown who has been sick for the past year, died at his home Monday morning at six-thirty o'clock. Mr. Brown was a good christian young man and was liked by all who knew him. He was born in Emporia, Kans., was twenty-one months ago. He has just in the past eleven months made his home in Newton with his mother, as he was stolen away from her when, as a mere child of five years. She did not hear from him until last September. He came home on the 18th day of September and remained with ```markdown ``` her until his death. The funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the A. M. E. church, Rev. Washington officiating. Robert will be missed in the community also in the family. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Frank House, a brother and sister and many other relatives and friends to mourn his death. PEABODY. KAN., NEWS. Winson-Waller Marriage. One of the grandest affairs and also the largest crowd that has ever been known in Peabody, was there Monday August 26. to witness the marriage of Mrs. Anna Winson to Reuben Waller, of Eldorado. The house was beautifully decorated with various kinds of plants and ferns. The bride was dressed in a beautiful white Irish linen while the groom wore a black broadcloth. Mrs. George Holden was maid of honor and Mr. George Holden was best man. There were many handsome presents given. Cake and ices were the refreshments which were served by Neta Butler, Hazel Allen, Dora Boyd and Ethel Winson. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Anderson from Marion, Kan. Those who were present were: Mrs. A. L. Ford, from Newton; Walter Patterson, from Florence; Mr. and Mrs. George Holden, Marion; Mr. and Mrs. Pinchum, Marion; Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Marion; Mrs. Richardson, of Marion; Mrs. Edwards, Marion; Mr. Jack Holden, Marion; Misses from Marion; Dora Boyd, Neta Butler, Daisy and Hazel Allen, Nettie Pinchum, Susan and Georgiana Young and Charley Waller. Those of Peabody were: Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Duncan, Mr. E. Humble, Ira Patterson, Mr. and Mrs. Powel, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hall, Lee Young and Beatrice Young. Vera Waller, Willie Hall and Lennie Young. They all left saying they had enjoyed a very delightful evening. Mr. and Mrs. Waller left for Eldorado where they will spend a few days. They will be home to friends Sept. 1st. Mrs. S. Duncan entertained Mr. and Mrs. Waller as guests, to a four course the city and will conduct services at Presiding Elder A. H. Brooks is in supper before the wedding. the A. M. E. church Sunday. Hard Water. A farm woman in Pennsylvania once said: "I never hear anyone sing "The Old Oaken Bucket' without a shudder." For 15 years she had done the cooking and washing for a family of six with no other water supply than what she had hauled out of a well nearly 30 feet deep by means of a bucket. Baths in winter were almost out of the question, and even in the summer they were regarded as an occasion of more than ordinary importance, for which preparations had to be made hours ahead of the great event. A cubic foot of water weighs $62\frac{1}{2}$ pounds, and in all these years the number of tons this woman had lifted had made poetic allusions to "ironbound" and "moss-covered" buckets a good deal like saying "rope" to a man about to be hanged.—Farming. Man's Walk Shows Age. "You can tell a man's age by his hands," said one of the girls. "They get knotty and veined and terrible They get old sooner than his face." "You can tell it most of all, I think," said the woman, "by his walk. I know a man who has been one of the brightest minds of his time, who is still the best company I know; but the other day when I saw him come toward me at his home along the hall it made me awfully sad to see the heavy, old, old way in which he walked." Honeymoon Literature The young couple drove to the railway after the wedding, accompanied by the best man, who had once been in love with the bride. Just before the train started he handed a book to the bride, saying: "You will find that a capital book to read on your honey-moon." After the train had started the young husband said: "What book is that Tom has given you?" Together they looked at it. It was Stevenson's "Travels with a Donkey." 11464 B Entered at the Post Office at Wichita, Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter. Published Every Saturday at 601 North Main Street.

If Mayor Graham would use that $25 which he is daily offering for the apprehension of 1 per cent net alcohol places and pay to have some of the weeds in Wichita cut he would receive more praise than by making a grand-stand play with his $25 reward offered. It is a fact that there is as much beer and whiskey sold in Wichita today as ever—this bluff of $25 reward to the contrary notwithstanding. Do business, Mr. Mayor. Wichita resident streets, alleys and vacant lots resemble more a weed patch than a city. In many places in Wichita the weeds cover the sidewalks and stand as high as a man on the vacant lots. And they say we have a "reform" administration. What a fake. GRADUALLY LOSING OUT For several years the Searchlight has been warning its people to unite for the preservation of their own rights. From time to time we have pointed out to them the danger of not understanding each other—but Wichita has within her colored population some colored folk who are would-be fighters—like the man who would live himself by his own boot-straps, and there is just enough of this class to keep the devil a-stirring among Wichita colored folk and the race apart. One by one we see the political prestige of the Wichita colored folk waning, and the colored man stepping back—and it is no one's fault but his own. He will not support his race enterprises; he will not properly attend and support his churches; he will not properly support his preachers of the gospel; he will not support race unity, and he will not recognize or support a race leader—every man leads—and every man is a leader—and the result is, that the colored people of Wichita are losing ground every day. It should not thus be—but it is. Let us quit our fooling and get down to real business—and we can, if we will. NO MORE NEGRO POLICE. According to the statements made by some who claim to know—the coloured people of Wichita will soon—for the first time in many years—have no representation in any branch of the police department of Wichita. It comes to the Searchlight that the pres- ent city administration has determined on relieving every colored man now connected with the police department and fill their places with white men. The place made vacant by the unjust discharge of W. L. Herman, has been filled by the appointment of a white man. A STORAGE PLACE W. N. Miller is having the rear room at 634 N.

Frazier and a party of young men who guarantee a good time to everyone. The floor will be given to the young folks from 9 to 12 (midnight) under the management of the popular Mr. J. B. H.

New York, Aug. 25.—Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou announced Friday a new plan of depositing gov- ermment funds in New York, Hoston and other cities to afford relief to the money market in ajsproaching crop movement period, Secretary Cor- telyou will commence next week, place each weck at such points in the country as he shall designate, govern- ment funds to suen an amouke us he deems suffic'ent to prevent an acute monetary stringency and possible pan- ic when the demand for money is greatest at the height of the crop mov- ing period. The pian of the secretary ror mone- tery. relief is new to the financial world and one that le botieves will prove more efficacious than the old inethod of treasury department in wait- ing until the country was severely shaken financjally aud then coming to the relief at the last moment by plac- ing a large deposit of government funds in New York banks, Secretary Cortelyou did not state how much morey he would deposit each week, though he indieates that the amount ‘ould equal the sitnation. The pian for financial relief was made known Friday in the following official statement to the Associaten Press: “Seeretary Cortelyou announced to- day that beciuing with nest week the treasury department will make each week for a period of not iess than five weeks, deposits in national banks at New York, Boston and oth er points, the security required to be approved state, municipal and raii- road bonds acceptable under the ex- isting requirments of the department, with the understanding that if called for, such deposits shall be returned after January i in installments to be fixed by the seeretary of the treas- ury. This action is taken to mect the commercial and industrial needs of the country at this season, and is believed to be. preierable to’ wait: ing untii a time of acute stringency when the only aiternative would be a large general deposit. Investigation of tue results attain: ed under the old treasury plan of wait. ing until the last moment and then placing a large single amount of gov. ‘ernment funds in New York, disciosed to Secretary Cortelyou that, as a rule, the placing .of a large amount of money, while it really helped, was generally ill-timed and either came too soon oF too late, Under the new plan the seerstary will place government funds in amounts large enough to theet the situation, For this purpose -he may use all custom funds, which he is per: mitted to do under tho Attrich act and if these funds are not sulficient be will augment them from the avail able treasury balance, which inereases each week after the usual July de ficit.

The youngster forgot the chicks during the storm, and was dismayed after it passed to find that half of them had been drowned. Though fearing the wrath to come, he thought best to make a clean breast of the calamity, rather than leave it to be discovered. “Mamma,” he said, contritely, when his mother had returned, “mamma, six of the chickens are dead.” “Dead!” cried his mother. “Sixt Mow ald they die?” ‘The boy saw his chance. ‘ “I think—I think they died happy,” he said —Harper's Weekly.

BAD DREAMS Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking. One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says “Formerly I was a slave to coffee. I was like a morphine flend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep was disturbed by dreams and hobgob- lins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writ- ing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indiges- tion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, ete. “Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, but when a friend advised me to leave off coffee I felt as if he had insulted me. I could not bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused to believe it the cause. “But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time for I finally consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the com- ing of Postum all my troubles have gone and health has returned. 1 eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that 1 am free from the monster coffee.” E ‘Ten days’ trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, rev freshing sleep. “There's a Reason.” Read “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs Some physicians cak i “a little heal? classic.” MAN-A-LIN THE IDEAL LAXATIVE MADE FROM CORRECTIVES AND ADJUVANTS.

Mr. Small addressed the meeting briefly without touching on the local strike situation. In the afternoon Mr. Small attended a meeting of the striking telegraphers where he was received with enthusiasm. He made a brief address in which he dealt with the general situation, again refraining from discussing local conditions. Sunday night Mr. Small gave out an optimistic statement regarding general strike conditions in which he said: "We have fully 95 per cent of all the commercial telegraphers in the United States on strike. This applies to small and large cities. Thousands of one-man offices are closed and the keys to the doors are in the possession of city officials to be turned over to the inspectors of the company when they arrive. "We have started to raise a large fund—two of them in fact. One of those is for the benefit of the strikers and the other to be expended in propaganda work in favor of government control of the telegraph. Although the call for funds has only been out a few days, many remittances were received before I left Chicago, and, strange to say, as much was received for the campaign fund as for the benefit the strikers. "Much has been published about arbitration but the cry from coast to coast is 'no arbitration.'" In the face of the statements made by the president of the striking unionists, both the Western Union and the Postal Telegraph companies emphasize their declarations that the situation is improving daily and that barring few unimportant towns, conditions are gradually but steadily reassuming a normal basis. They announce that they are handling all the business offered with dispatch. HANGED IN NEBRASKA. Louis Higgins, Who Murdered a Farmer and His Wife Last May Pays Penalty. Omaha, Aug. 27.—Loris Higgins, who murdered W. L. Copple and wife, farmers, near Rosalie, Neb., May 12, was lynched at Bancroft Monday. Sheriff Young of Thurston county, came to Omaha Sunday night to get his prisoner, who had been in the Douglas county jail here since his capture, and took him to Bancroft on a train which arrived there about 8 o'clock in the morning. Twenty men took Higgins from the sheriff, hauled him off in a dray and hung him to a tree. When the sheriff left for Omaha Sunday he was accosted by citizens of Bancroft, who asked him what he would do if they should attempt to lynch Higgins. "Shoot the first man who tries it," he said. "Well, we just wanted to know. Chances are you will have some shooting to do." Higgins' crime was a wanton one. He had worked on the Copple farm and had had some trivial dispute with Mr. Copple. Anger over this is the only suggestion of a reason for the murder. He killed both in the barnyard with a gun. He was a young man and after his arrest became radically religious, participating in every service held in the jail. Santa Fe Trail Treaty Celebrated. McPherson, Kan., Aug. 25.-Friday McPherson and McPherson county celebrated the erection of the new monument commemorating the treaty between the government of the United States and the Kansas Indians for the right of way over the Santa Fe trail, which runs through McPherson county.

Read the Following: Dear Sir; I have just returned from a visit to your 95,000-acre ranch, where I have been for the purpose of investigating the conditions of soil, climate, rainfall, etc., and its adaptability to general farming, truck-growing and fruits. Found conditions really better than I expected, and fully up to representations in your literature. The soil seems to be of fine quality and of such variety as to make diversified farming easy and profitable. While on the ranch I had the pleasure of visiting Hall, Frenchman, Turkey Creek, Windmill, Muley Cow and Headquarters pastures. I did not see the Votaw pastures but was assured by disinterested parties that it was even better than that which I examined, and believing this I came home perfectly satisfied that you have the best proposition, for the poor man. On farms adjoining your ranch I saw fine crops growing without irrigation, and this I consider remarkable in view of the severe drought, which obtains at this time over the entire state. I am sure this will prove to be a fine fruit-growing section, especially for grapes, figs and berries, and that the water supply is sufficient seems certainly to be proved by the flowing artesian wells in various parts of pasture, and this also settles the truck growing properties. You have my hearty endorsement on both your lands and plan of sale. Very truly yours. DR. T. E. FOSTER.

Of Course the Story Teller Didn't Really Mean Just That. A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has a tale to tell of conditions that are really sensational. And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all. He was out calling the other evening, and the conversation started with the shirtwaist man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to be found in great quantities at the summer resort. Then he told about the habit everybody down there had contracted of going without hats. This is the way he told it to an interested company: "You see everybody down there going about just the same. The men never wear coats; they go about in just their shirts and trousers, and the women are just like them." Peculiar Medical Remedy.

Use "L RHEUMATISM CAN NOT BE RUBBED AWAY It is perfectly natural to rub the spot that hurts, and when the muscles, nerves, joints and bones are throbbing and twitching with the pains of Rheumatism the sufferer is apt to turn to the liniment bottle, or some other external application, in an effort to get relief from the disease, by producing counter-irritation on the flesh. Such treatment will quiet the pain temporarily, but can have no direct curative effect on the real disease because it does not reach the blood, where the cause is located. Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY. Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid in the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. This refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forms uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system. The aches and pains are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for a time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity. Rheumatism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison. The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life. S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses the blood and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and expelling all foreign matter from the system. It warms and invigorates the blood so that instead of a weak, sour stream, constantly depositing acrid and corrosive matter in the muscles, nerves, joints and bones, the body is fed and nourished by rich, health-sustaining blood which completely and permanently cures Rheumatism. S. S. S. is composed of both purifying and tonic properties—just what is needed in every case of Rheu- matism. It contains no potash, alkali or other mineral ingredient, but is made entirely of purifying, healing extracts and juices of roots, herbs and barks. If you are suffering from Rheumatism do not waste valuable time trying to rub a blood disease away, but begin the use of S. S.

The participants were Miss Julia Darnell, Mr. McWilliams, and the Misses Beulah and Grazia Corneal. A very elegant lunch was served. Every one seemed to have had a very nice time. W. N. Corneal made a flying trip to Crawford, Neb., Tuesday. A party of young folks went out to Mrs. McWilliams Monday evening, August 12th, and spent the evening in playing whist and other games. Mrs. Darnell and Mrs. Akins had a very delightful reception for Mrs. Banion Monday evening, August 19. The yard was artistically decorated in sunflowers, and Japanese lanterns served as light; lunch was served outside. The young people spent the evening in playing whist and dancing. Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Corneal gave an elegant dinner for Mrs. Banion Monday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Corneal are anticipating a trip to Chicago during the Elks' convention in that city. Miss Beulah Corneal received a beautiful tray as the result of the work she sent to the Negro State Fair held at St. Joseph. She got the first prize for a dress which she made. She received her instruction at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo. Miss Grazla Corneal will return next week to attend school at Jefferson City, Mo. Misses Buella and Pansy Williams are visiting at the home of Mrs. Chas. Murphy. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. Everything was par excellent at the Second Baptist church Sunday past. The Rev. S. M. Hall an dpeople celebrated the pastor's fourth anniversary. Rev. P. D. Skinner, D. D., of Coffeyville, Kan.; Rev. H. I. Jones, D. D., of the Tabernacle Baptist church, city, and Rev. Joseph Wilson, Jr. D. D., of the New Hope Baptist church, city, moved things in a storm. All were at their best and made us feel like trusting God more. We are full of joy and praise this week. God bless all who assisted in the anniversary services. Many thanks to all! Many heart felt thanks!! All papers and addresses that were not had last Sunday we hope to have Sunday night, September 1, 1907. Please come prepared. ```markdown ``` We want the public to know that the best wine was kept till the last. The past anniversary services were much better every way than any of the past. We accept it as an evidence that we still live. We give God the glory. Our future is not certain, but if Providence may bring us to the 5th anniversary let us begin now to make it still better than any of the past. We can do it. The pastor is all smiles this week, owing to the improvement in obedience among our people. Baskets, baskets, dinner of all good things came from every direction Sunday. We ate and was compelled to leave lots unconsumed. The members have the praise. Pastor Hall would have all know he is pleased with the service dinner and very pleasant spirit of the day. ANNUAL STATEMENT Of the success attended by the Second Baptist church, Wichita, Kan., under the leadership and management of Rev. S. M. Hall, pastor, for the year ending, July 1907, including a full report of the total amount of money raised and additions to the church since he assumed the pastorate of the church, July 1903. We would add here, however, that the relationship between pastor and the church has been not only harmonious, but highly beneficial and elevating to the upbuilding of the church and community. And his work among us has clearly demonstrated the fact that the salvation of the souls of men has been the one great purpose and aim of our pastor, in all of his efforts, and we feel that his labors among us are therefore deserving of our highest commendation and approval. And it is indeed gratifying to the church to say that righteousness and truth have scored more than a signal victory and the church of Christ has triumphed gloriously. Respectfully submitted. Money raised and paid out during the year ending July 31, 1997. Paid pastor ..... $592.77 Expenses and miscellaneous ..... 337.74 Given sick persons ..... 7.12 Visiting ministers ..... 91.00 Money in expense treasury ..... 3.09 Sketch for new church ..... 30.00 Wiring for lights ..... 32.65 Printing and R.

The Searchlight is now prepared to do your job work in better and more up-to-date style than ever before. Give your race people a chance. A NEAT HOTEL. The Centropolis Hotel, 605 N. Main, under the management of Mr. and Mrs. S. Sneed, is one of the nearest and most wholesome hotels in Kansas, barring none. Everything presents a neat and tidy appearance and their meals are cooked well and properly seasoned. Call there at any time. GIVE US YOUR EAR. We ask our readers that in all fairness to us and the merchants who advertise in the Searchlight to trade with the business men whose place of business is advertised in the columns of the Searchlight. Do this won't you. It costs you nothing more. Johnstons Restaurant, 333 N. Main is the place to get good meals. Ice cream and soda water always on hand. Deaf-Mute Conversation. A deaf-mute who is fairly expert at finger language can speak about forty-three words a minute. In the same space of time a person in possession of his speech will probably speak 150 words. The mound bird, found in Australia, builds the biggest nest in the world. It makes mounds sometimes as great as 150 feet in circumference, in which it buries its eggs five feet deep. A New Exclamation. A new exclamation is likely to come into vogue, according to Mr. James Platt, Jr., in "Notes and Queries." The word is "hooshtah," and it is an importation from Australia.

AN APPEAL To the Ministers, Churches and Auxiliaries, Comprising the Southwest District Association. You are hereby notified that the Fourth Annual Session of our District Association will meet with the Second Baptist Church, Winfield, Sept. 3-8, 1907. We hope to have a large delegation at this meeting as the people of Winfield are making great preparation for our reception. We ask that every church and its auxillaries rally and come prepared to make this meeting a spiritual and financial success. There are several districts suffering for the need of the Gospel. They want the Gospel of Christ, but "How shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent?" This is your opportunity, as Missionary Baptists, to do a very much needed Mission Work. Please give this your careful consideration. SOUTHWESTERN DISTRICT S. S. CONVENTOIN.

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."
