warm and dry, the water not yet up to the
, floor. To remedy this evil of ignorance
among colored preachers, it is proposed to
have bill passed by the Legislature re-
curing all preachers to have second grade
certificate of school teacher before being
allowed to occupy pulpit or have charge
of church. Such bill would drive all
ignorant preachers back to saving wood,
and "toting" sacks, where they belong.
The self styled Jesse James," who
created some excitement in the Three States
house some days ago, was arrested, depriv-
edof his many|weaponsa sent out of town,
has returned with the intention of recover.
ing his weapons by means of writ of re.
pleviu. He threatens vengeance and de-
clares that no man shall arrest him. He
hopes to prevent the sale of his arms on
next Monday, by the stepi Indicated, but it
is likely that he will be badly fooled.
On the 18th of next month the terms
of Alderman Patier, Petit, Kimbrough,
Hughes, and Wood expire, and also those
of the mayor and city clerk. Some of these
will probably be re.elected-sll of them
might be without any injury to the city.
Who will stand for reelection If not all,
and who will be the substitutes for those
who don't, is as yet matter purely for
speculation. 1t is stated with considerable
confidence that the colored people will
bring out full municipal ticket.
Charlotte Thompson and her troupe
produced "The New Jane Eyre" to very
good house last night, There must have
been over six hundred people present.
The play is very interesting throughout,
Astounding with thrilling scenes and al
fectng situations. Miss Thompson i'm
personated "Jane Eyer" with ability, in a
way that is attractive and impressive, and
peculiarly her own. She was well sup
ported by her company in every part par
hculsrly by Mr.. Craig as Lord Roches
ter Mr.. Wooderson as Jacob Buttercup,"
Mr.. VIM. Yerance as "Achille De Leon"
Little Clara Thropp as adele" made a
very favorable impression upon the audi
ence, as did also Miss Reynolds as Lady |
| Ingram" and Miss Garth as Mrs. Reed
The audience was visibly affected by |
the sutferings of Jane Eyre and gave |
| frequent expression to strong appreciation.
In the year 1928 the state of Illinois |
was bought often Indian chief representing |
ten tribes, by twenty-five white men in |
Pennsylvania and England, The territory |
was 10 two tracts, one called Southern Hi

snd portion of Southern Wisconsin. The
consideration was "strouds, $50 blankets,
$50 shirts, $50 pairs Of stroud breach.

Mr.. Barton's reply to Mr.. Leonard
published elsewhere, is very candid indeed |
and ought to leave no doubt in the mind Of
Mr.. Lenoard as to what estimation he and
his fellow Republicans are held in by the
Mr., Barton aud his fellow Republican. Mr.,
Barton is generally very outspoken man,
but he would hardly have dared to express
his real sentiments concerning the leading
cOlored men Of this end of the district with
so much vigor, were it not that an electio
is still some distance in the future. The
meekness with which the colored voter has
taken insults and neglect from Republican
leaders between elections, and the faithful
ness with which the said voter has al
ways marched up to the Republican crib
when election day dawncd, is making white
Republican leaders holder and more con
temptuous Of the just complaints Of their
dark-sklnned dupes. Barton knows as well
as we do that the Republican party of this
district, without the colored vote, would be
in hopeless minority but he also knows by
experience that the average colored Rcpub.
lican couldn't be kicked out of the party
by a span of healthy mules.
Sometime ago A. G.. Leonard applied

didn't "get there" for reasons very sat
