A Taborian worker. (last week), advising the colored people not to vote for S. L. Barrett for clerk of the city court, and not to vote for Ed Enoch for probate judge. I very heartily commend you in the position which you take and I believe the colored people generally look at this matter as you give it and will vote with your views. I have been a citizen of Wichita for a number of years and have seen many men go in and out of office in this county, but in all my experience I have never seen a man get the swell-head and go beyond himself over a little office so quick as Enoch did after becoming probate judge, a few years ago—to have seen and heard him one would have thought Enoch owned the county and all its people. I agree with you when you say, "Now that he is out, let him stay out." An officer is REV. MOSES DICKSON, Father and Founder of the Interna- tional Order of Twelve. REV. MOSES DICKSON, Father and Founder of the International Order of Twelve. the servant of the people and not their elected king. As to Barrett, he should never have been in office—now that the colored people can get a whack at him they should certainly put some one else in his office. We colored people of Wicaila must help weed out such political ingrates as these. There are plenty of good men to fill these offices without voting for such makeshifts as Barrett and Enoch. I shall do all in my power to follow the Searchlight view and vote and get other colored men to vote against Barrett and Enoch. Yours for race success, A SUBSCRIBER. SEEKS PARDON FOR NEGRO Springfield Woman Admits Equal Blame for Attempted Assault. Springfield, Mo., July 5.—(Special.) An attorney has been employed by Mrs. J. R. Brake to assist her in getting a pardon for Jack McCracken, a Negro, who was sentenced to thirty years in the penitentiary four years ago for attempting to assault her. A mob of 300 men surrounded the jail on the night of the Negro's arrest and demanded that he be turned over to them. Mrs. Milliken, wife of the then sheriff, told the mob that her husband had taken the prisoner to Ozark, and invited a committee of three from the crowd to look through the jail to verify her statement. The committee ac- ceited, and was satisfied that Mc- Cracken was not there. At the time of the trial there was M. Chief Grand Preceptress Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Kansas - Nebraska Jurisdiction. much doubt as to the negro's guilt, but he pleaded guilty rather than to face the danger of mob violence. Mrs. Brake, in a written statement, now says that McCracken was no more to blame than she was, and that she told the story she did through fear of the SIR JOHN W. WILSON, Kansas City, Kans.

Since these disclosures have been made the effort to secure a pardon for McCracken is receiving influential backing. eternity on such circumstances and Just how many Negroes are sent to evidence as on the asl ythe end can tell.

As one grows older and is thrown in contact with the environments of life he learns more and more of men and measures. There is no safe rule laid down by which men may acquire this knowledge—it must come from personal contact with the times, men and events of his time. To the casual observer life, with its varied sides, presents a drama characteristic of itself, and the lessons which one learns from life are all beneficial, lasting and wholesome. DTR.

MILLER, Editor. = MATTER OF PRINCIPLE. In our efforts to present the politi- cal issues to our people, we are not moved or guided by a narrow, selfish motive, but do so on the high and ex- alted plane of principle. We have too much at stake to permit ourself to be absorbed in any peeverish, ma- Ugnant, unwarranted outbursts polit- ically, and our political statements are only made after due consideration, un- biased investigation—such as will war- rant their utterance. During our ten years’ publication we are given credit for the fact that we take all public matters in a broad, conservative view and only attack where there attack is necessary. In every instance where we have advised our people against voting for any man or set of men— after events have proven most conclu- sively the correctness of our state- ments. In our ailvise to our people to vote solidly against S. L. Barrett for clerk of the city court and against Edward E. Enoch for probate judge We ‘ave no personal malice against either of these men. Neither are we ‘a party to any “political trick,” but it is purely, simply and candidly because we believe that the best interests of ur people will be subserved that either of the other aspirants for these offices be nominated. Barrett and Enoch seek these dffices not because of their patriotis mto their country ér‘on aecount ‘of their great loyalty to the republican party, but for tue sole reason that they want to draw the fat salary attached thereto, and both of these men have been in office and there is not a colored man, wo- man or ebild in Wichita among whom they have been so magnanimous as to divide their salary—so there is no benetfi to the colored people any more than to any others—ave Barrett and Enoch in thelr holding these offices. We are aware of the fact that to make this justifiable and proper “fight” against the nomination of 8. L. Bar- rett and Edward EB Enoch that-we would bring upon us the condemne~ tion and enmity of both men—but with this before.us—in the Interest of the race to which we proudly belong and which race both of these men hate —we make this “fight” against Bar- ‘rett and Enoch and say to our people ‘openly and above board that to be a party In helping nominate either of these men they are voting against the best interest of the colored race. We have no word of censure for any col- ored man who for a few paltry pennies or for any other reason may see fit to! vote for elther Barrett or Enoch. No man has a right to question them for doing so—and we certainly do not. We have given our views and leave it to cach colored man to decide for himselt. There Is a time when the colored peo- ple must take the advice one of the other—and now Is that time. No man would expect Barrett or Enoch not to deny these statementsJthey, of course, will have @ long-cock-and-bull story to tell about “how it happened, but the wise colored man will consider that Barrett and Enoch are candidates for a fat salaried office and want to ride Into it on the vote of the colored peo- ple—whom they both hate as much and as strongly as the devil hates oly wa- ters. You have It—conelder what we say—and then go to the polly August 4th and vote your decision, We be- leve and say candidly that #4 L. Bar- Fett should be defated for clerk of the city court and Edward E. Enc:h should be defeated for probate judge. POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. REPUBLICAN. JUDGE OF CITY CO!/AT.

When you see a housewife who keeps bread lying around until it molds, who permits mildew to get into the clothes; who allows her stockings and those of her family to fall to pieces for want of darning; who cooks up a lot of food which she ought to know will not be eaten and that will be cast into the garbage can; who "brushes through" her best frocks by putting them on to do kitchen work, you may be sure she is "tacky." You will never find a woman of that description who is not cheap and who hasn't a common streak in her as wide as a gate. Well, it is exactly the same with a people or a nation, says the Kansas City Star. When you see a country reckless in the use of its resources and heedlessly destructive of the treasures with which it has been allowed by nature, you can depend upon it that it possesses the ingredients of cheapness and inferiority. We have a great deal about the proverbial ward of the future commonly witnessed in our "colored brother" as long as he has a dollar in his pocket. But what essential difference is there between the complacency of the "Senehemian" with the price of a meal and lodging ahead, and the blind indifference of a country and its people that ago ahead despoiling timber lands, consuming coal with heedless extravance, permitting vast quantities of oil and oil to get away, and taking no care whatever to make provision for our reinforcement of the supplies which it consumes. So, while the congress of conservation at Washington in mind, let us not forget that the wastefulness habitually practiced by the American people is not only wicked and hopelessly stupid, but that it likewise cheap and "tacky" and results not one trace of sane judgment proper breeding. Canada After Settlers. The Canadian Dominion has not yet found it necessary to begin the con- gregation of resources, though the time may come sooner than is antici- pated. Just now the principal effort appears to be to attract settlers and to grow up regions which the railroad companies are desirous of having de- veloped. The announcement comes from Vancouver that the government of British Columbia is planning to sell just tracts of land, having decided to pose of $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 with this year. In the operations the government will have the active and one of the big railroad concerns. The American has been engaged to image the deal, says the Troy (N. D.) Times, and part of the project con- sists of laying out a model city, and streets, sewers, water system and other conveniences. Another nature of the plan will be the employ- ment of a landscape gardener to ar- range surroundings that will be ornate and attractive. All this is done with brew to making settlers feel at home and providing them with advantages which are seldom found in a fron- ter region. The contrast with the ex- plorations of the earlier ploneers in the United States and Canada is impres- Automobiles have ruined so many adcamalized roads that an international congress has been called to meet in Paris on October 11 to consider plans for saving the roads. The macadam road, as everyone knows, is composed of layers of crushed stone and together by a binding material rolled into the surface. This method of paving was devised for the use of modified vehicles. As the iron-bound wheels roll over the road they crush the small stones, and the dust sifts into the crevices, between the larger stones and binds them more tightly together. With judicious use, such a road improves with age. The automobile however, runs on an air-filled rubber tire. This tire, instead of crushing the small stones, sucks the dust out between the large stones, and the blows it away, leaving the road rough and uneven. Road experts in both sides of the ocean have been seeking for some surface dressing that will seal the road when once inside so tightly that the rubber tire cannot draw out the binder by suction. Oils with asphaltic bases, coal preparations and calcium chlorid have been used with some success in helping the dust and preventing the layer of the roads, but they are not usually satisfactory either here or in Europe. putting right down to a final analysis of the most successful navalies of the day is he who can paddlerance with a nervous woman of 150 pounds or upward as a passenger and send the cargo safely.

PLATFORM WORK INJUNCTION PLANK THE ONLY ONE THAT IS BOTHERING THE DEMOCRATS. LEADERS ARE HARD AT WORK Mayor Brown of Lincoln Arrives With Mr. Bryan's Draft of Resolutions—Conference With Gov. Haskell. Denver, Col., July 8.—Evidences are multiplying that practically the only difficult plank to prepare for the Democratic platform will be that relating to the use of injunctions in industrial disputes. Mr. Bryan has let it be known through a number of reliable sources that his position on this plank's not rigid. Work on the platform continued Monday through the medium of an informal sub-committee consisting of Gov. Haskell, who is to be chairman of the resolutions committee, and a number of prominent members of the party who will have places on that committee. The product of this work will be laid before a large sub-committee of the resolutions committee when the latter is officially appointed by the convention. The plan contemplates telephoning each plank to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln, as soon as it is agreed upon by the sub-committee. In this manner, it will be possible for the sub-committee to present to the full resolutions committee a perfected platform which already has received the stamp of approval of the prospective candidate. So far there has developed no intimation of hostility to Mr. Bryan's wishes with reference to the platform. One of these wishes is understood to be that the platform be the product of the resolutions committee, guided of course in its drafting by frequent conferences with Fairview. During the afternoon Mayor F. W. Brown of Lincoln, who is to be the Nebraska representative on the committee on resolutions, arrived with Mr. Bryan's suggestions concerning a number of planks of the platform in his pocket. Mr. Brown said that it had not been Mr. Bryan's intention to prepare a complete platform, but that it was his wish that the committee itself should perform this duty. He declined to say what subjects were covered by the Bryan draft, but it is understood through other channels that Mr. Bryan's memorandum deals especially with the subject of the regulation of the issuance of writs of injunction by the federal courts in labor disputes; the tariff, the trusts, the railroads, the election of senators, which he would have by direct vote of the people; the guarantee of bank deposits by the government, and the publicity of campaign contributions. The injunction plank as drafted would prohibit the issuance of prohibitive writs without notice except in cases in which it is evident irreparable damage might be done to property. In that event the plank would permit the issuance of an injunction limited to ten days' time, and a hearing would be required on the second presentation of the case. Mr. Bryan has given his friends to understand that while he tenders his suggestions, he does not desire that the platform committee should feel tied to his language. He is willing that phraseology should be altered if it can be improved upon without changing the sense. Soon after arriving in the city Mr. Brown went into conference with Gov. Haskell, who will be chairman of the committee on resolutions, and laid before him Mr. Bryan's views. Both of them declined to discuss the platform. A. St. Louis Levee Murder. St. Louis, Mo.

Weleetka, Ok., July 8.—Three wagonloads of Winchester were taken into the camp of the Snake Indians Monday and several hundred of the 2,000 Indians congregated there are heavily armed. The situation is now critical, according to reports brought here Monday night by men who visited the camp. The Indians are making a new demand, according to these reports, one distinctly different from anything heretofore broached. The demand is that the Snakes be given their allotment certificates which they have heretofore steadfastly refused. It is said that "Crazy Snake" issued an ultimatum in which he said that unless the certificates were delivered the Indians would make a charge upon the whites as their initial step at driving all the white people from the former Indian nation. Indian Agent Howe went to the Snake camp Monday and is said to have arranged to have the certificates ready for delivery Tuesday. MARKET REPORTS.

But the Lady of the House Amended His Father's Instruction. "My son," said the head of the family after he had read all the sporting news, "here is a good thing for you to remember. I give it to you out of the store of my experience. Had I understood it at your years it would have saved me a good many mistakes: "Always notice the way your friends laugh. By their laugh you may know their character. "The laughter of human beings is based on the vowels. If a man laughs in A—the open tone of A which is ah—then he is frank and honest, a little fond of noise and excitement, perhaps, and perhaps of a somewhat fickle disposition; but at any rate honest. You can trust him, son. "Those who laugh in E—pronounced ay—are melancholy. Those who laugh in I—pronounced ee—are gleeful. Children most often use that tone, as do the simple, the obliging, the affectate, the timid and the undecided folks. "When your mother asks me if I am going to the club again and I laugh, using the ee sound, it is not because I am timid, but because I am undecided. It is well to make a note of these things. "Those who laugh roundly in O are generous and inclined to be of a daring nature, the former of which is a good thing, son, and the latter very bad for little boys. "Never trust a man who laughs in U. He's a scamp. The gas man laughs in U. Yes, indeed, after you grow up you will notice these things." "Yes, Willie," said the lady of the house from the other side of the table, "remember what your father says, because to-morrow night he will want you to repeat it to company and say he told you. But for your own instruction I will tell you an easier way to pick out nice people than that somewhat complicated method mentioned by your dad. "Notice the thing that makes men or women laugh. Never mind how they laugh or in what vowel sound they do it. Find out the thing that creates the laughter. "If it is really a funny thing they are all right. If it is some predicament that some one else is in or some idea that is not kindly or gentle then they are not all right. And, Willie, it is about time you went to bed now." "No woman ever did have a sense of humor," remarked the head of the family of the family as he went out and silently closed the door after him. Automatic Money Assorter. A machine has just been invented in Prague for assorting coins. The inventor claims that it will assort metal coins which have been thrown together, regardless of their denominations, placing each denomination in a separate basket. The various coins are thrown indiscriminately into a funnel at the top of the machine, and from the funnel they slide downward, alighting on a spiral track. This track has a protecting edge or raised border containing slits corresponding to the various sizes of the coins. As the coins of various denominations glide downward on to the track through some peculiar mechanism of the machine they pass through the slits corresponding to their various sizes, entering their respective baskets at the bottom of the machine. It is said that several firms handling large amounts of coin daily have tried the machine with satisfactory results. The same principle is not unknown in Florida and California, where it is adopted for sizing oranges.—Harper's Weekly.

The wife writes: "No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than I, a coffee captive. Yet there were innumerable warnings—waking from a troubled sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and out of breath, attacks of palpitation of the heart that frightened me. "Common sense, reason, and my better judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was so disarranged that my physician ordered 'no more coffee.' "He knew he was right and he knew I knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior to this our family had tried Postum, but disliked it, because, as we learned later, it was not made right. "Determined this time to give Postum a fair trial, I prepared it according to directions on the pkg—that is, boiled it 15 minutes after boiling commenced, obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich snappy flavor similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but delicious. "Noting its beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it—all except my husband, who would not admit that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during which I drank Postum two or three times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said: 'I have decided to drink Postum. Your improvement is so apparent—you have such fine color—that I propose to give credit where credit is due.' And now we are coffee-slaves no longer." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

CLEVELAN LEADER WORK ON PLATFORM INJUNCTION PLANK THE ONLY ONE THAT IS BOTHERING THE DEMOCRATS. LEADING MEMBERS OF PARTY WORK HARD Mayor Brown of Lincoln Arrives With Mr. Bryan's Draft of Resolutions—Conference With Gov. Haskell—Mr. Bryan Is Consulted on All Declarations—But Wants Committee Free. Denver, Col., July 8.—Evidences are multiplying that practically the only difficult plank to prepare for the Democratic platform will be that relating to the use of injunctions in industrial disputes. Mr. Bryan has let it be known through a number of reliable sources that his position on this plank is not rigid. Work on the platform continued Monday through the medium of an informal sub-committee consisting of Gov.

The product of this work will be laid before a large sub-committee of the resolutions committee when the latter is officially appointed by the convention.

Pledged Gunty to Counterfeiting. Joplin, Mo., July 8—W. C. Guild, the counterfeiter who was arrested and brought to Joplin for his preliminary hearing Monday, pleaded guilty to three charges of counterfeiting and two charges of passing counterfeit money. In lieu of $10,000 bond he was remanded to the Jasper county jail to await his trial before the federal court here. Pardoned by President. Leavenworth, Kan., July 8.—Charles S. McCullough, formerly a first lieutenant in the regular army, serving a term of two years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth for irregularities in the handling of his company funds, was released Monday on the receipt of a pardon from President Roosevelt. Statesmen and Newspaper Men Engage in a Match Game. Hot Springs, Va., July 8.—William H. Taft, Republican candidate for the presidency, Monday distinguished himself on the diamond where a game of baseball was played between the statesman sojourning here and the newspaper men who are endeavoring to keep the public informed upon the candidates' daily actions. The game was the result of the activity of Senator Murray Crane who has long conferences with the Republican candidate while here. Mr. Crane had no sooner finished his breakfast Monday than he began planning for a contest of skill between the statesmen and the correspondents. The game was hotly contested, but for some reason the correspondents fell behind in their score and lost out after eight innings, by a score of 14 to 11. The correspondents went out side of their own members for a second baseman, placing Charlie Taft in that responsible position. Charlie distinguished himself when his father went to bat and struck the second ball delivered to him. The ball went whizzing toward the second base and it looked as if it would give Mr. Taft a home run, but Charlie nipped his father's hopes by catching him out. The game was played on the local ball grounds just after a heavy rain and as the participants sprawled in the mud in their frantic efforts to run the bases, the entire party was rather the worse for wear when the eighth inning had been played. Mrs. Taft came out to see the game which was witnessed by a large number of spectators from the hotel. RUEF'S BIG BOND. Bail Aggregating $1,560,000 Given by Ex-Frisco Boss. San Francisco, July 8.—Abraham Ruef was released from the county jail Monday night on bonds aggregating $1,500,000, the largest amount ever given in a criminal case in this state. This sum is the aggregate bail upon 78 indictments returned by the Oliver grand jury, charging Ruef with bribing the former board of supervisors in connection with the granting of franchises to public corporations and upon which he was taken in custody on March 8, 1907. Twenty sureties, including Ruef's father and sister and himself, signed the bonds. It developed during the examination of his sureties before Superior Judge Frank J. Murasky, that Ruef owned real estate in this city which he recently transferred to his father and sister, upon which real estate experts on the witness stand placed a value of $1.095,556. Ruef's annual income from this property was $16,900. His father and sister went his bonds to the amount of $690,000 while other sureties qualified for $870,000. Ruef's next trial has been set for July 15. The Roosevelt Leaves New York. New York, July 8.—With the Peary Arctic club's pennant fluttering from her main truck and the stars and stripes at the mizzen, the arctic exploration steamer Roosevelt left her pier at East Twenty-fourth street Monday, carrying Commander Robert E. Peary, who is to head another expedition in quest of the north pole. The Roosevelt, accompanied by a government tug, proceeded to near City Island where she anchored for the night to permit the adjustment of her compasses. Tuesday she will go to Oyster Bay where President Roosevelt will board her to bid good-bye to her commander and crew. Henry Farman Wins. Paris, July 8.—Henry Farman Monday won the prize of $2,000 offered by M. Armengued for the first aeroplaniist who remained in the air for 15 minutes. Mr. Farman succeeded in remaining in the air for 20 minutes and 20 seconds, covering a distance of 18 kilometers in that time. A Revolution in Honduras.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. The Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL, TONIC, drives out Malaria and builds up the system.

A church missionary had a letter recently from a convict begging him to reform the writer's wife, who was also in prison. The convict—who is serving a long term—was very anxious about the matter, because, as he said: "It was no credit to him to receive letters from such a place as prison." Another convict, in the course of a letter to his brother, a pauper, remarked: "Well, Jack, thank goodness I have never snuck so low as the workhouse yet."—London Dally News. DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA" In Bad Case of Eczema on Child—Disease Had Reached a Fearful State—His Order Resulted in Complete Cure. "When I was small I was troubled with eczema for about three months. It was all over my face and covered nearly all of my head. It reached such a state that it was just a large scab all over, and the pain and itching were terrible. I doctored with an able physician for some time and was then advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies which I did and I was entirely cured. I have not been bothered with it since. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment but do not know exactly how much was used to complete the cure. I can safely say that Cuticura did a lot for me.

Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. A. F. Peeler, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in many cases and have always found it an efficient and speedy remedy." Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

SMALL THING HE FORGOT. May Have Accounted for His Proposal Being Turned Dovin. Senator Beveridge described, at a dinner, an absent-minded farmer. "The man was so absent-minded," he said, "that he couldn't open his mouth without making an arrant ass of himself. "Once he courted a young woman. His suit looked promising for a time. Then, with a sorrowful visage, he ceased his courtship. "Yet she seemed infatuated with you, Jabez," said I, one day when he came to me for sympathy.

To the Official Organ of the U. K. T. Kansas City, Kans. Washington Temple No. 25 and Eureka Temple No. 23 with all of the Daughters of Tabor assembled on the third Sunday in June for their annual sermon. The occasion was a grand one for several reasons. The Knights of Tabor being uniformed almost to the man with 142 Sir Knights in line, followed by the Palatine Guards marched from the Hall at 11th and Washington Ave. to the church at 5th and Nebraska Ave. where they met the Daughters of Tabor all regailed and awaiting their arrival. They also being headed with the Champion Drill Corps of Daughters of Tabor in their full uniform, headed by Daughters Lena Downs and Maddison. The Line of March. The Sir Knights formed a line of march at the 11th street Taboran Hall at 1 o'clock and marched south on 11th street to State Ave., east on State Ave., to 5th street and north on 5th street to First Baptist church at Nebraska Ave., under the command of our Chief Drill Master, Sir Eli Porter, the Palatine Guards being under the command of Sir Knight Walter Harris, a Sir Knight that has taken great interest in the Palatine Guards and yho is destined to be one of the best drill masters in the jurisdiction if he continues as he has been for the past few months. At the church we met the Daughters of the Tabernacles, who formed a line and marched into the church headed by the Drill Corps under the command of Dtr. Lena Downs, and at the appointed hour a splendid program was rendered, the participants being Sir Knight Dr. R. C. Hayden, whose subject was "The rise and progress of the Order." The Sir Knight treated this subject with the greatest care; that it could have been given, stating with the origin of the order and relating all of the difficulties and isdadvantages it had, up until the present time. Daughter Minnie Roberson gave us a splendid paper, her subject being "Why we have Annual Sermons," and Dtr. Precilla Terrell also gave a splendid paper, her subject being "The origin of the Malds and Pages." She was very broad in her views and sighted many facts that were interesting. Sir Knight Dr. G. E. Horsey being the Master of Ceremonies deserves much credit for the interest he took in preparing such an excellent program. After the program Rev. O. E. Jones D. D. pastor of the First A. M. E. church preached a grand and glorious sermon reciting much of the history of the organization which was quite interesting as well as instructing the order was well pleased with the sermon and gave vent to the fact by lifting a good collection when called on; to do so by Sir J. W. Wilson, C. G. L. who presided. Too much can not be said for Sir Knight J. W. Wilson for the manner in which he conducted the 700 Sir Knights and Daughters of Tabor who filled the entire Auditorium of the church. It takes a man of grit and one who can command the respect of the sound of the gavel to rule a mass of people, and that's the kind of a man he is. The church choir gave us some choice music, and it is but natural that they should, being under the leadership of our C. M., Sir Jas. Downs. The manner in which the Temples and Tabernacles conducted themselves has done much to up build them in the future, and much of this credit belongs to our officers and especially or Chief Mentors, Sir Jas. Downs and Sir J. F. Armstrong, and much to the Chief Grand Mentor, Sir Frank Wilson who has worked faithfully to make this the grandest organization in the world among our people and he has so far been successful. ANDREW F. WILSON, Cor. Sec On Wednesday evening the T. B. A. club held a reception and art display at the home of Miss Beatrice Miller 526 North Water street.

Ella Haryld, and Drt. S. Burkes. At this writing they are resting quietly. Mrs. Ida M. Jordan will leave Topeka next Monday, July 13, as a delegate to the Grand Session in Atchison of the internation order of twelve, of twelve, of the Kansas and Nebraska Judication. North Topeka will carry up a good report in general this year. The daughters of Macedonia Tabernacle, No. 93, presented to Mrs. Ida M. Jordan, their high priest, whom they all love and have explicit confidence, in a beautiful gold bracelet and a finger ring, and $5.00 in money. Our priest has been so loving and kind to us all, and has led our tabernacle, No. 93, to a grand success, anr has dealt honestly in every respect with our moeys and has lived in every respect as a Christian lady, and an honest and upright woman, and a trueful woman, and has led some of us from darkness into light, and has raised up a few from a low standard to a high standing at this writing, though she is very strict with the law, sometimes we think, but it is all for the better for our tabernacle and all. She treats all alike and is successful in anything that she undertakes to do, so we don't feel that we can do too much for such a leader as our High Priestess of Macedonia Tabernacle, No. 93. So God bless her, for we all love her dearly. And now may thy light forever shine on you, that will do for falling humanity, and may they forever be blessed with the sunshine from above. MRS. CAROLINE DUNCAN, C. R. A WORD. Arkansas City, Kan., July 7, 1908. Wichita Searchlight, Wichita, Kansas. Dear Sir and Fried:—A word about politics. The Negroes were practically shut out of the Republican convention at Chicago. Mr. Rooseveult and his policies nominated Mr. Taft; now let him and his policies elect him. The Negroes ought to vote for Foraker whether he was omninated or not. It is time for the Negroes to let the white man know that they have principles. Of course we could not vote for Bryan and his gang, for there is no difference between Bryan and Roosevelt. Yours. M. L. COPELAND. For Bough Irons Often the irons will become either rough or rusty and it is most annoying to try to iron with them. To a flat board nail a long strip of sandpaper and use this for smoothing the irons on, if you find that the beeswax does not accomplish this. If the sandpaper is not convenient, sprinkle a little salt on a folded newspaper and rub the irons on this. Then wipe them with a cloth and finally rub with the wax. Ironing will be a pleasure if the irons are treated in this manner. Good Potato Salad. Take about one-half peck of new potatoes; boil in skins until tender, then peel and slice. Then take two or three slices of bacon and cut fine. Fry brown. Take fried bacon out and put over potatoes. Then to grease in pan put one-half cup of vinegar, a little water, and an onion cut up fine. Let boil until onion is done, then chicken with flour and let boil up, and when cool add to potatoes. Salt to taste. Keeps Varnish Polished. One housekeeper who is successful in keeping her furniture in polish washes the varnished wood frames twice a year with potato water and then rubs them dry and bright with woolen cloths. The piano receives the same treatment. The potato water is prepared by soaking uncooked potatoes sliced thin in cold water for two or three hours and then straining the water. Baby's Robe. I had constant trouble in keeping the laprobe up well around my baby while she rode in her buggy and tried this scheme: Near the top edge of the robe about four inches either side of the center I tacked a tape long enough to tie easily around baby's waist. I tie these tapes after she sits down in her buggy and I have no more trouble with the robe slipping down. Strawberries and Lettuce Make cups of the white heart leaves of crisp lettuce by crossing the stem ends. Pile a few big red strawberries in the center of each cup, and dust with powdered sugar. Put a teaspoonful of mayonnaise dressing on a leaf of each cup. New Tin Kitchen Utensils. New tin should not be used until it has been boiled with potash or ashes. Boil water in the vessel, with about a teaspoonful of potash, for 15 minutes; then rinse and boil clear water in it. J. R. BURTON A DEMOCRAT FORMER KANSAS SENATOR AN- NOUNCES CHANGE AT DENVER. Won't Support Taft Because Nomination Was Secured Through Use of Patronage. Denver, Col., July 7.—The accession of Ex-United States Senator J. R. Burton of Kansas to the ranks of the Democratic party, at least for the next campaign, was announced Sunday. Mr. Burton came in with the Kansas delegation, and while not a delegate, mingled freely with the Democrats of that state. He lost no time in making known his intention of supporting the nominee of the Denver convention, and expressed the opinion that the honor of that nomination would be awarded to Mr. Bryan. "I won't," he said, "support Taft, for the reason that his nomination was secured through the use of patronage, and I regard the use of patronage as the most corrupting in government. I would not support a Republican or a Democrat or anybody who was nominated as Mr. Taft was, by the misuse of public office. The supreme question is, shall we have a Democracy or a despotism. Roosevelt has made more progress for autocracy in this country than all the other presidents we have ever had, and less for Democracy. He has given us a political trust that is a thousand times more dangerous than all the commercial trusts, and the first trust to be busted is the political trust. That trust is founded on patronage, and it can be destroyed only by destroying patronage. Just as Mr. Bryan said Saturday the paramount question is whether or not this government shall be controlled by a political oligarchy or by the people. The tariff and all other questions fall into insignificance when compared with this question of the use of patronage. For this reason if for no other I shall support the nominee of the Democratic convention. Ouster Against Kansas Towns Topeka, Kan., July 5.—A judgment was issued by the supreme court Friday against the city of Coffeyville, the city of Wichita and J. H. Wilcox, mayor of the city of Coffeyville. All of these were ouster proceedings brought by the attorney general for non-enforcement of the prohibitory law. Wichita and Coffeyville are ousted from accepting or using money collected from jointists in lieu of license fees and Mayor Wilcox is ousted from his office as mayor of Coffeyville. Kansas Grain Broker a Suicide. Leavenworth, Kan., July 5—George D. Balcom, a grain broker operating offices at Atchison, Leavenworth and Lincoln, Neb., who a short time ago was re-elected for his fourth term as alderman in Atchison committed suicide by shooting himself in the right temple Friday afternoon. His act is said to have been the result of despondency following heavy losses on the market. It is reported that he lost $60,000 in transactions in corn in the past week. Stubbs in a Train Wrск Winfield, Kan., July 7.—Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe passenger train No. 17, westbound, left the rails at Seeley, seven miles north of Winfield, while running 60 miles an hour. The locomotive and four coaches were overturned, but no one was badly injured. W. R. Stubbs, the Kansas politician, who was on the train, escaped without injury. Pardoned by President. Leavenworth, Kan, July 7.—Charles S. McCullough, formerly a first lieutenant in the regular army, serving a term of two years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth for irregularities in the handling of his company funds, was released Monday on the receipt of a pardon from President Roosevelt. Carr Jury Disagrees. Marlon, Kan., July 7.-Late Saturday night the jury in the case of W. T. Carr, charged with the murder of Express Messenger Bailey, March 29, reported it was unable to agree and was dismissed. The jury stood eight for acquittal and four for conviction. Carr will be tried again in October. A Convention of Deaf Mutes Ends. A Convention of Deaf Emsles: Wichita, Kan., July 7.—The Southern Kansas and Oklahoma Association of Deaf Mutes ended their seventh annual convention here Saturday. S. S. Paxton of Newton was elected president and Emmett W. Simpson of Canton secretary. The 1909 convention will be held in Wichita. A High School Student Drowned. Wellington, Kan., July 7.—Joseph Garner, 22 years old, a Nashville Tenn., high school student who came here three weeks ago to work as a harvester, was drowned in a ditch a mile south of town Sunday afternoon while swimming with Elmer Hayworth a companion. An Expert Swimmer Drowned Norton, Kan., July 7.—James Ireland, 21 years old, was drowned while swimming at the natatorium here. He was an expert swimmer. There were many in the pool at the time. Ireland sank in six feet of water. Gov. Folk of- Missouri arrived in Denver Monday fresh from a visit to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln. ```markdown ``` Knights & Daughters OF TABOR KANSAS—NEBRASKA JURIS KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS OF TABOR. REV.

Light but not bright should be the guiding note when selecting the paper with which to decorate the walls or your home. Where there is light there is always a cheerfulness which nothing else can produce, but brightness of colors soo- er or later will affect the nerves. Where the rooms are small a small figured paper should be chosen, as this will make the rooms appear larger and vice versa with the rooms which appear too large. Here are a few suggestions: For the vestibule, a grove-like effect; for the halls, plain felt paper or tapestry de sign; for the bedrooms, a flowered de sign, with lighter or a darker body cording to the amount of light a mitted to a room. For the parlor a quite decorative sign, chosen with judgment to make furniture; for sitting room and dining room, arbor or orchard effects are a effective and becoming; bathroom, kitchen and laundry are best painted. One paper should not be placed on another, as disease germs breed there easily, and the thickness causes the paper to fall from the walls. Fig Preserves. Take the figs when nearly ripe and cut across the top in the form of cross. Cover with strong salted water and let stand three days, changing the water every day. At the end of the time cover with fresh water, add a few grape or fig leaves to color, and cook until quite green. Then put again in cold water, change twice daily and leave three days longer. Add pound granulated sugar to each puff figs, cook a few moments, take from the fire and set aside two days. Add more sugar to make sweet, with slice and boiled lemon or ginger root flavor, and cook until tender and tide Do Not Knead Bread Many people do not make their own bread because they cannot knead properly, not knowing that a superior quality of bread can be made without this labor. Mix your sponge in the usual way and when it rises stir with a wire fork enough flour to roll. First flour the bowl and dip your pinch knife into flour; chop the bread sponge by drawing the knife through it, but do not pound it, adding more flour as needed. When it has been cut so that pieces are about a inch square put together smooth enough for each loaf and put into pat to rise for baking. Taking Grease from Silk. To remove grease from silk spread the goods over biotin paper and in French chalk or fuller's earth around the spot to keep grease from spreading, then rub gently with a soft cloth dipped in ether or chloroform. Rub the spot with a clean cloth, and if the ring around the spot remains sponge with chloroform. Of Revenge Revenge is a kind of wild justice which the more man's nature runs to the more ought law to weed it out. Toughen Glassware To prevent glassware from being easily broken, put in a kettle of cow water, heat gradually until water he reached boiling point. Set aside who water is cold take out glass. This an excellent way to toughen lamb chimneys. To Keep Lard Fresh. To keep lard fresh for seven months stir in about a tablespoon of honey to every six or eight gallons of lard, after removing the dried fat. National Magazine.
