THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT COLORED PEOPLE IN BUSINESS Very Credible Business Showing For Colored People Of Wichita TENTH YEAR COLORED P Very Credible B For Color Of W It is really interesting to point out the many colored men and women of Wichita who are engaged in some kind of business in this city for the use, benefit, comfort and coovenience of the race here. In proportion to population, demand and necessity—in a business way—the colored people of Wichita will compare favorably with the colored people of any other city in the west. Necessity is the key-note for any business and in filling this the colored people are, indeed, doing their share in this city. To read the list given below is inspiring when it is also remembered that the businesses given below have all passed the "experimental" stage and each may be classed as a business fixture. Here they are: We have three Tailors; J. A. Jackson, Chas. B Patton and M. J. Robinson; we have the hotels, "The Victoria" 343 N Main, "Johnston's hotel" 507 N Main, "The Centropolis" 605 Main; four rooming houses, Kiner's, 350 N Main; Olden's, 355 N Market, Heck's, 228 N Water, Collin's, 625 N Wichita, two well kept pool and billiard halls, "The Retreat" 350 N Main, W. H. Jones, prop; 'Coleman's' 318 N Main; In regards to these two pool halls we wish that they are as orderly and well kept as any pool halls in the city. We have three barber shops, R H Love, Wm Coulter and T J Washington all in the third bloch on Main; one drug store, "The Olden" 612 N Main four restaurants, Kiner's, Johnston's, Fauver's and Young's all on Main; we have several private boarding house, the most prominent boeing Mrs. Wil. H. Jones, 522 N Water and Mrs. A. Paul, 538 N Water; we have two shoemakers, Rev W S Malone, I T Jones; one plumber, Capt. S. W Jones; we have five contracting plasterers: W Starnes and son, 1149 Piatt; W L Herman, 856 Eagle, Joshua Walker, and John Goss; we have two carpenters, Morris Mayo W C Neeley; we have Phillip Hyde, expert carpet man, 634 Wabash; we have IJ Porter, hog raiser, 1459 Sherwood, A Buford, hog raiser, 1900 E 10, H W Marshall, poultry, 1724 S Mosley, E R Johnson, truck - gardener and hog raiser, 1620 Jeanett, Joe Dunson dairyman, 1146 Ohio, H H Neely, truck gardener, 1447 S River T L Hackly, standard bred horses, Robt Davis, standard bred horses; we have nine draymen, B J Topp, Geo: Miller, W Crouch A Bufrrd, H Baker, J McBride, Thos Hunter, S Macon, and Doc Kelley. The following colored --- men own good teams, Rev. Jno. Metchem, Jas Balance, J Carter and J Davis; we have several expert caterers; the most prominent are Mrs. Stella Patton and Mrs. Geo. A. Wallace; we have three dress makers, Mrs Addie Adams, Miss Cora Carter and Mrs. Rowles. Ike Patton is an expert uphoster; Ike Miskel an expert at repairing asphalt pave ment; Ed Hathman an expert at track construction, Walter Williams his assistant; we have the "Helen Gould Children's Home' 1447 S River which should appeal to the pride of every colored person; we have a fire depart ment whose members have made a record as firemen of which the race has every reason to feel justly proud. The members of this splendid company are: Walter Robinson, foreman, Frank Hill, Chas Shoots, C A Glover, Will H. Jones, Ed Paul, and Bud Huff Lastly as one of business enterprises we mention the Search light which will soon complete its tenth [10th] year of success ful, continuous and uninterrupted publication. The long list of businesses here mentioned to our mind, makes, indeed a very credible showing, in a business way, for the colored people of this city; especially when the many colored men and women who hold good positions in stores etc are not here included.

Duel Existence The Ameriean republic has had a duel existence from the day of its birth to the present time. Founded by the sturdy 'Pilgrims' who fled from the tyrannical oppression of England, seeking a land "where all men might free" they had hardly settled on American soil and begun their form of government" to establish justice insure domestic tranquility" and they also begun the establishment of one of the most tyrannical, inhuman, unchristian and barbarious forms of human slavery and human oppression which for cruelty, inhumanity and barbarity the English form of slavery bears no comparison. While preaching "One God" they deny "One creator," from the same pulpit which teaches the ten commandments proceeds the teaching of race hatred, race malice race contempt. In the same commodious, richly decorated church edifice dedicated and conserated to God- in woich is read the holy command "Go out into the high ways and hedges and compel to them to come" the door is closed agansit some — and yet in this house of God the white man preaches." Love thy neighbor as thy self" and teaches to hate and dispire his neighbor wrapped in a dark skin. Seeking "Freedom" for himself—he denies it to his fell lowman. In the early life of this Republic twenty helpless, defenseless Negroes were brought these shores, in the words of the historian "chained to the botthm of a boat" and ever suice that disgraceful kidnapping and landing the American white man has almost bent heaven, earth and creation in his desperate effort to keep the Negro "chained down." From twenty [20] human being in 1619—we find in 1909, or 290 years after, more the eleven million or an annual average increase of more than 37931 or by time the Negro has been on American soil 300 years they will have a natural population of over twelve million and this in the face of the many racial obstacles to overcome. In the effort of the white man to hold the Negro in subjection, so fast has his victim grown in numbers, in wealth and in intellect, that the white man has been forced to do little elee than to plan—replan and devise ways and means as to keep the Negro "chained"—in his desperation a ganist the Negro the "white mans country', — this Republic — has been permitted to be filled with the scum of every other nation on earth. It is filled with Anarchist, murderers of presidents, are governors and high officials—and yet the white man "pursues the Negro" and shuts his eyes and ears to the very things, individuals and conditions which will sooner or later gnaw his nations blood. The American white man starts at the cradle and is and has so instilled hatred, malice and prejudice aganist his peaceable Negro neighbor that hatred and prejudice stands as a gigantic dark and grim monster in the American nation permeating—a dulterating and poisoning every rank and avenue of existence. To whom can the white man blame should the harvest, be greater than the seed sown. In his dull career the white man is sowing his seed in fertile ground and the harvest must come. The seed is sown now may seem "smaller than a mustard seed" but who can say that when these seeds shall have grown up they may be large and strong. Professing Christianity, they deny it. Claiming to "establish justice" — they destroy it. Proclaiming to insure domestic tranquility they evade it. Such doctrines—such practices bespeaks not of a lasting government. The past few weeks of the Jap question in California, the Night Riders of Kentucky, Tenn. Arkansas and our own Kansas—shows the direction in which the evnid is blowing. The recent of strikes, senior labor trouble etc show the result of the duel teachings of the American white man and which at auy moment are liable to burst unto ao almost unpuencable conflagration. Yet the American white man will not look and see, he has but one hob by — one ambition — one desire and one aim, and that is to keep the Negro "chained dawn" Why all this fretting, preisering and laying awake at night and the white man to plan some his new plans "to keep the Negro down?" Has the white man not the more in numbers. the soil and wealth? With the laad which 245 years of free labor of the Negro gave him can he not keep the pace? Surely the white man does not fear to give the Negro an equal chance? Why this dueling? It is as true today ar ever—that; "A nation devided against itself cannot stand." Equal Rights New York, Feb. 12.-Signature of many prominent men and women are attatched to a call issued for a national "Lincoln conference on the negro question." The object af the conference as out lined in the call, is a full discussion of present evils, and to awaken a renewed interest and activity in behalf of the negro race, it and to secure for it perfect equality. The question is put in the call; "How fair has the nation lived up to the obligation imposed up on it by the Emancipation Proclamation?" It deprecates "The spread of lawless attacts upon the negro, North, South & West," and says: "Silence, under these conditions, means tacit approval. "If Mr. Lincoln could reuisit to this country in the flesh," continues the call, "he would learn that the supreme court of the United States, supposedly a bulwark of American liberties, had refused every opportunity to pass squar ly upon this disfranchisement of millions, by laws avowedly discriminatory and openly enforced in such manners that the white man may vote and the black man be without a vote in their government." Among the singers of the call race: Miss Jane Adams, Chicago; Samuel Bowles, Springfield Miss. William Lloyd Garrison Boston; Prof. Dubols, Atlanta; Rev. Francis J. Grimke, Wash. D. C. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch Chicago; Mrs Rodman Warton, Philadelphia; Prof. Charles Zeublin, Boston, and many prominent New Yorkers. Western University The meeting of the Kansas senate Friday night, Feb. 12, was more in the nature of an entertainment than a legislative session. The session was preceded by a musical program rendered by the young women and young men of the musical department of Western University, a colored institution located at Quindaro, Kansas. There was a large number of visitors in the senate chamber during the recital and the selections of the singers were heartily applauded. At the close of the concert President Fitzgerald said. "The Western University from which these young people have come, have no funds and no friends to hire a special train to take the members of the legis lature to their school so these representatives have come to the legislature" President Fitzgerald then introduced President W. T. Ver non of the school, who told of the work of the school and declared that Kansas stands for a square deal for every man, regardless to color or race. The governor has recommended a liberal appropriation for our school and we believe you desire to help us and see us prosper. Mr. Vernon then presented to President Fitzgerald a gavel which had been made by the male students of Western University with tools purchased with state appropriation. President Fitzgerald mentioned that he was a member of the house when the first appropriation was made for Western University. He spoke of the advancement that has been made by the colored man and declared that future presiding officers would wield the gavel presented in the interest of the colored citizens of the state as well as of the whites and in the interest of equality and justice to all. Senator Price was recognized by the chair and said: "These young people are an excellent example of the race for whom Lincoln did so much. I deem these exercises a fitting prelude to the celebration of the birthday of Lincoln in which we all participate in to-morrow. I move that the senate extend a vote of thanks to these young people for their music and the enjoyment they have afforded us." The motion was carried by a rising vote. Visits K. U. Senator Brady also extended an invitation to the colored students to go on the visit to the state university at Lawrence. An elephant in New York seized a pitchfork from his keeper's hands and tried to beat him with it. It is to be feared an elephant like this will have to be sent to join the ranks of the nature fakers. The Illinois man who dropped dead when he was whipping a colt was not overcome by his physical exertions, but by his violent rage. The man who whips a horse is invariably a man with a bad temper not under decent control. A man in Philadelphia is suing his wife for divorce because she has a soul affinity on another planet. Although he does not explicitly say so in his complaint, every one will naturally infer that his hated rival is the man from Mars. Also the kaiser has begun to make speeches again, representing Germany as surrounded by hostile neighbors ready to divide her territory between them. All of which is the vocal expression of the hunger for bigger armies and navies. A remarkable case, unique in the history of all consular corps of the world, is that of the American consul at Gibraltar. Mr. Sprague is the third successive generation of his family to hold the post of consul, his grandfather and his father having held it before him. There is a difference of opinion as to whether or not Menelik, head czarkaiser-speaker of Abyssinia, is dead. We should think the simplest way to find out would be to ask him. Of course, he isn't easily approached, but there should be some way of getting the question to him and letting him settle it. Unlike the creations of the millinery establishments, it fortunately happens that the old hat on the masculine head is reckoned just as good as new by the great majority of mankind. This will help mitigate the embarrassment that would otherwise come from a general and prolonged strike in the hatters' establishments. THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N.

"BROAD GAUGE CLUBS" The editor of the Search-light had much about the "Board Gaug Club" movement in Wichita, but was not familiar with its feature so we made a request of Hon. J. W. Shearen president of the club for information and we here re-print his very gentlemanly reply which is self explanatory. Editor Searchlight, City. My dear sir:- Your inquiry as to scope and purpose of the board Guage club recieved, contents carefully considerec, and will say in reply; Object 1-The betterment of condition socially, morally, and politically. Second-We demand a just and fair distribution of public work and public patronge. Third- We demand epnal opportunity to all American citizens regardless of color. Fourth- We denounce mob violence as a disgrace to our christian civilization. Fifth-- While we favor organized labor we demand that their by laws an constitution de so amended as to afford equal opportunity to all of American citizens and the Open Door to Apprentice-ship. Sixth-- We denounce the present system of letting contracts for the public work and non employment of our people as a crime against the working people both black and white, and cite you to the following instances. Ist-- We have let sewer contracts in amount to almost $300 000, in this City, and the colored people have been denied the privilege of working on same. We have built concrete bridges and Drainage Canal and a bridge access the Arkansas River at public expense. Our colored and white labor have been denied to share in the distribution of public money paid for such labor. Your city paving contracts have been handled in the same way; The rail road have imported Mexican Greasers to take the piece of home working beople. The Jacob Dold Packing Plant is engaged in similar business. Sir, you have exempted the John Cudhay packing Company from taxes for the per cent of fifteen years: You by your couecilman have agreed to take care of the Packing House sewerge, build a new Fire House to protect their property. What do they offer in return? They simp- ly bring Japanese from the Pacific Coast to perform labor that justly belongs to our White and black people in this City. Sir, the Broad Guage Club is organized to better conditions The public pres molds public sentiment. Sir, if our demand are in harmony with your way of thinking, we extend you a most cordial invitation to join in what we believe to be eterically right, and for which we shall ever demand.

PECK HE STAMPEDES THE TRIBE LEDERER Pa Explained to the Old King That the Cowboy Was the Agent of the Great Spirit. 1 (Copyright, 1908, by W. G. Chapman.) (Copyright in Great Britain.) This being a king over a few thousand negroes, the position Pa holds, with the regular king of the tribe reduced to the occupation of interpreter to the white king, has its drawbacks, and Pa is getting pretty sick of it, the cowboy that is with us is discouraged, and I have no one to play with but some coons who never cared for anything but to feast on human flesh, sleep and fight among themselves, so Pa is arranging to skip out some morning with the airship when we get our hands on the gold and diamonds this tribe has hidden around the camp. But in the meantime we are educating those Africans into the methods of civilization. Pa has issued an edict that the eating of human flesh must cease, and he has explained to them that the Great Spirit will have it in for any person that kills except in self defense, and that all who are cannibals will never get to heaven, and the whole tribe had sworn off on eating the bodies of human beings and Pa has taught them the way to broil a beefsteak, and they can't get enough of it. They never knew what it was to eat the flesh of Pa Explained to the Old King That the Great cattle, but just raised cattle for the hides, and to sell at the railroad stations, but they never knew what the white buyers did with the cattle. Pa has showed them how to dig wells, and get good water to drink, instead of surface water and liquor made out of some kind of berries, that makes you drunk to smell of it. The cowboy has got a buffalo trained to ride and a zebra that acts like a regular cow pony of the plains. The cowboy came near to getting us in trouble by getting drunk on the berry juice. He got on the zebra with his lariat rope and put the spurs to the animal and rode through the camp and threw his rope over the old ex-king and tightened it up around his neck, just to show what he could do, and the zebra ran away and dragged the king through the chaparral and came near killing him, but Pa explained to the old king that the cowboy was the agent of the Great Spirit, and was trying out the king to see if he had patience, and could take a joke without letting his angry passions rise, and that if he could smile at adversity he would be looked upon as one of the elect. Pa told him that often King Edward, Emperor William and the czar of Russia were roped and dragged around by the neck, and they enjoyed it. Pa's diplomatic talk to the negro king so impressed him that he wanted the cowboy to rope Pa and drag him some, but Pa pointed his finger to the sky and said he was so good that no rope could touch him. Gee, but those piggers are easy marks. Pa and the cowboy have been training the male members of the tribe in the military drill, and we have got eight companies that can march by fours and in platoons, and come into line just like soldiers, and they are proud of what they can do, but they only use clubs for guns, though Pa has promised them that when he gets money enough he will buy Winchester for the whole army, and we will go and wipe out a tribe about 20 miles away, and take all their gold and diamonds, and they are going to dig up their gold and diamonds and give them to Pa to buy guns. That is about when we will skip out for the coast and sail for Paris and New York. I suppose I ought to be killed, but I couldn't have having some fun with Pa's colored troops. One night Pa --- LEDERER Told the Cowboy I Was Going to Have Some Fun Scarring Pa's Troops had brought them into line, after drilling them, and had made them break ranks and sit down around the big camp fire while the women served a barbecue banquet. All day the women had been cooking an ox and some pigs over a big fire, under Pa's supervision, 'cause Pa used to be a soldier and a politician, and had superintended political barbecues lots of times, and he had the meat cooked so nice that wild animals had come near camp to smell of the barbecue, and Pa's soldiers sat there watering at the mouth, and thinking how much better oxen and pigs were for food than human beings, and Pa felt that he had made a big triumph for civilization, and that his name would be handed down to future generations with the names of Stanley, Livingstone and Roosevelt. The negroes were resting around the fire talking about the day's drilling, and how, when they got the guns Pa was going to buy for them, they would go on the war path, when the women began to bring the food, the meat cut up in chunks, and sweet potatoes on big leaves and straw mats, and all began to eat like wild animals. It was too peaceful a scene for me to en- The Cowboy Was the Agent of the Spirit. Told the Cowboy I Was Going to H joy, so I went to a knapsack that I brought along from Paris, and got out my fireworks, which I always carry along for emergencies. I got out about a dozen nigger chasers and some Roman candles, and told the cowboy I was going to have some fun scaring Pa's troops, to see if they were brave enough to fight an enemy. The cowboy had been drinking some berry juice and he said he would assist at the Fourth of July celebration by taking his Winchester and firing at some of the jackals and hyenas that had been attracted by the barbecue smell, just as I touched off my fireworks. is effect in the supreme | Airship Well, it was a crime to do it, but what is a boy going to do when he is away off in a strange country, and he has to create his own fun? Well, just as the troops had got filled up with the meal, and the women who had served the banquet had sat down with the colored soldiers to eat what was left, and everybody was laughing, and Pa stood up by a tree in the light of the fire, like a fat statue, patting himself on the back and thinking he was the greatest man since Julius Caesar. I got a coal of fire and touched off my nigger chasers and pointed them towards the crowd sitting around the fire, and touched off a pin wheel I had fastened to a tree by a thorn, and opened up my battery of Roman candles, pointing them at Pa and the ex-king, who were the only ones standing up, and the cowboy cut loose with the Winchester at the wild animals, with a cowboy yell such as they give when they are shooting up a town out west. O my, O my! I hope I may live to see another such a circus some day, but I guess not, for if Pa does not kill me, the niggers will, if they ever come back. Those nigger chasers started the stampede. You know how nigger chasers such as boys use in America rush around in every direction spitting fire, and acting like crazy snakes. Well, they went into that crowd like pizen, run up the legs of the men, and chased the women, and there was a stampede for fair. Men and women fell over each other, clawed hair and got on their knees and said their "now I lay me," dodged the nigger chasers, and when they got away from one chaser another one would meet them and run up their frames and jump off and go for another and there was the scaredest bunch of negroes that ever danced a war dance, and when the balls from the Roman candles began to strike all around Pa and the old king, and the pin wheel began to revolve and spatter out different colored lights, and the cowboy's Winchester boomed, and the wounded jackals howled, and a lion that got pretty near the camp let out a roar that shook the earth, the whole crowd made for the woods and I touched off a rocket and let it go into the crowd, there was a breaking of brush and a yelling in the negro dialect, and all that was left around the camp fire was Pa and the cowboy and your little Hennery. Pa knew what was the trouble. He knew it was his little boy that created the disturbance. "They're off," says I, walking up to Pa, and putting my arm around him. "That scare pays me for all I have suffered since I came to Africa on this fool expedition," said the cowboy, as he picked up a piece of roast pig and began to gnaw it. "Hennery," says Pa, picking up a club, "you have stamped the noblest army in Africa, and broken up a tribe that were my subjects, and left me a white king with nothing to king it over; you have broken up the whole show, and I must proceed to kill you." I dodged and gave Pa the laugh, and ave Some Fun Scarring Pa's Troops. told him his tribe would be back in the morning, and he would make up a story that the Great Spirit had become offended at the tribe, and turned loose the elements on them, and Pa said: "Good idea, Hennery," and we climbed trees to sleep, while the hyenas came into camp and ate up the remains of the banquet. Pa said: "Hennery, you always raise hades on your watch, but I fear you have overdone it this time," and I said to Pa: "You wait till daylight, and the whole bunch will be back here worshiping you because they think you are a bald-headed god; see?" and Pa said: "Mebby, boy, mebby so."

MILLER, Editor. It is noticeable that the German papers have made no outcry over the fact that King Edward has personally written to Andrew Carnegie. There is a bank crerk in Elyria, O., who never has any difficulty in striking a balance. His father was a slack-rope walker, and his mother was a trick bicycle rider. Were the Mrs. Gilman brand of sociology to come into vogue there would soon be no society for sociology to operate upon and the exuders of guff would be among the unemployed. Miss Ross Becker has been appointed a claim agent and United States pension attorney at Missouri. She has been known for years as one of the most successful women in St. Louis, being a notary public and an insurance agent. Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "laid out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an ill-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdoings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly lost, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washingt*r Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he call it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge adivsed the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made. read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from far and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Said an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary? She is simply a crazy and, of course, eating n substantial makes her pale, downright yellow." Said the wise sician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abhor the stuff! It is herolo treatment, but it will cure her appetite for candy." Poor Mary! says the Indianapolis Star, how much pleasure she is going to lose for lack of a little self-denial. TRIES PATIENCE OF CURATOR. Too Many People Are Interested In Mistake of Potter. A curator up at the Metropolitan museum is threatened with insanity, the cause being a small misnamed exhibit in the gallery outside his office door. "Twenty times a day," declared the harassed man, "people discover that that china statuette out in the Franklin collection is named Gen. Washington instead of Benjamin Franklin. Then they burst in here and announce their discovery and wonder that no one ever noticed it before. Half my time is spent in explaining that we know it well; that it was simply a mistake of the potter who labeled it in France over a century ago, and that we cannot change it, nor wouldn't if we could. "Of course I tell them this courteously and patiently, and you know what a strain that is when you are going over the same thing for the thousandth time! I'd latch the door only there are too many employees seeking me all day long; so here I must sit and listen to the names of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin repeated a million times, till I wish that neither of those glorious patriots had ever lived. And it's driving me insane, I tell you, it's driving me insane!" Just then the door opened and a lady popped in with: "There's a statue out here named Gen. Washington, but I'm sure—" And the weary curator, being a southerner, rose smiling to his task.—New York Times. Reminded. "Does your husband forget to mail the letters you give him?" "Never.

WARRANTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED Editors and Owners Charged With Criminal Libel. Washington, Feb. 18.—Bench warrants were issued yesterday for the arrest of Joseph Pulitzer, Caleb M. Van Hamm, Robert H. Lyman of New York, the proprietor and editors of the New York World, and for Delevan Smith and Charles R. Williams, owners of the Indianapolis News, for criminal libel in connection with the publication of charges of irregularities in the purchase by the United States government of the Panama canal property from the French owners. The indictments were entered yesterday by the United States judge sitting in this city. The warrants are directed against all five of the natural defendants of the two newspapers. The summons requires the corporate defendant (The Press Publishing company of New York) to appear in court forthwith. District Attorney Baker probably will not send the copies of the bench warrants and the certified copies of the warrants to Indianapolis for a day or two. They were placed late yesterday in the hands of the United States marshal here and he will proceed with them in accordance with the directions of Mr. Baker. Men They Libeled. Theodore Roosevelt, Wm. T. Taft, J. Pierpont Morgan, Charles P. Taft, Douglas Robinson and Wm. Nelson Cromwell were named in the indictments. Copies of the summons and of the indictment were served last evening upon the Press Publishing company, by service by Otto Carmichael, its agent in this jurisdiction. The certified copies will be filed with U. S. Commissioner John R. Shields in New York, who will issue warrants for the arrest of the natural defendants of the New York World, who will be brought before him to show cause why they should not be extradited to this jurisdiction for trial. In the event that the commissioner should not hold the indictment sufficient and the offence one upon which the defendants may be extradited to this jurisdiction, the defendants can seek a writ of habeas corpus and have the commissioner's decision reviewed by the United States district court for the Southern district of New York and can appeal to the supreme court of the United States. This proceeding was followed in the case of State Senator George Green of New York, who was indicted in this city about six years ago in connection with the postoffice irregularities. Will Be Long Case. If the defendants should pursue the court outlined about at least a year will probably elapse before they can be brought before the bar of the district supreme court for trial. Failure of an attempt to blackmail, according to Wm. Nelson Cromwell, was the reason for the publication of the stories which he declared yesterday "were premeditated and made with fore-knowledge of their infamous sources and after specific warning by me of their falsity." CHIEF GERONIMO DIES. Old Apache Warrior Passes Away at Fort Sill. Lawton, Okla., Feb. 18.—Geronimo, the noted Indian chief, died yesterday at the hospital at the Fort Sill army post, where he has been held for several years as a prisoner of war, of pneumonia after two days' illness, and will be buried in the Indian cemetery near the fort today. The funeral will be conducted by Christian missionaries, the deceased having professed religion several years ago. Geronimo was the war chief of the Apaches. He was captured with his band at Skeleton Canyon. Ariz. twenty-two years ago, having surrendered to General Nelson A. Miles, who with his soldiers had pursued him for months. It is a curious coincidence that news of Geronimo's death was sent out from Lawton, which was named after the late Henry Lawton, the famous general who as a member of Miles' command, led the 3,000 mile chase that resulted in the chief's surrender. BATTLESHIPS' SIZE NOT REDUCED Washington, Feb. 18.—The senate yesterday voted down the amendment reducing the size of battleships below 26,000 tons displacement, as provided by the house. While the provision was under discussion Senator Perkins of California referred to recent criticism of himself by the president, saying he did not believe the latter had willfully violated the ninth commandment.

MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK IN CENTRAL CANADA. W. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle, writes the Canadian Government Agent at Spokane, Wash., and says: "I have neighbors in Central Canada raising wheat, barley and oats for the past 20 years, and are now getting from the same land 20 to 30 bushels of wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of oats. "It was the first week of May when I got my tent pitched, but the farmers all around had finished putting in their crops, so I only got fifteen acres broke and seeded. They advised me as it was late not to put in much wheat, so I put in five acres of wheat and ten acres oats, one-half acre potatoes and vegetables. All kinds of vegetables grow well up there, sweet corn, tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans, cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20 bushels per acre, for which I got 76 cents, others got 80 cents; oats threshed 35 bushels per acre, for which I got 35 cents per bushel. You see I was three weeks late in getting them in. still I was satisfied. "From my observation, there is more money made in stock, such as cattle, horses and sheep, as prices are high for such, and it costs nothing to raise them, as horses live the year around out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn their work horses out for the winter, and they come in fresh and fat in the spring. Cattle live out seven or eight months. They mow the prairie grass and stack it for winter and give oat straw. My neighbors sold steers at $40 each, and any kind of a horse that can plow, from $150.00 up. I raised 60 chickens and 5 pigs, as pork, chickens, butter and eggs pay well and always a good market for anything a man raises, so I have every reason to be thankful, besides, at the end of three years I get my patent for homestead. I heard of no homestead selling for less than $2,000, so where under the sun could an old man or young man do better?" Too Much Gravity a Bad Sign.
