THE COLORED VOTERS.

Our colored citizens may be badly torn
up as TO state politics, but certainly the
majority of this class of voters will be
able to decide their choice for county Of
fees, without being influenced by such
idiotic cries as Lilly Whites" They
form an important portion of our COM
munity; they are not tramps from a
foreign border; they pay takeSf
share the burdens of our local
government; are deeply. interested in
the proper management of our local af-
fairs; to them the prosperity of the city
and county means their prosperity; If
they should allow themselves to be con-
troled by false means, influenced
by corrupt overtures, to take
stand in favor of the corrupt
combination that defeated the people
two years ago, though the votes of
thousand imported Mexicans, they will
become the enemies of the best elements
that constitute our population, and intlict
on themselves a lasting injury. We are
not addressing these remarks TO, the paid
hirelings of the city and county gov ern-
ment, but to the men who make their
bread independent of the favor of the
officials

FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.
A Young School Teacher Arrested
at Bluffs for Robbing

at Bluffs for Robbing
PosLOffice.
In October, 1899, the poStoffice at Wei
mer was robbed of money order, valued
at S50.25. At that time there were only
two men working in the office, the post
master, Joseph q. Feitsam, and a young
man named Paul E. Mende. The latter
having resigned his position few weeks
later, went to Bluffs, Fayette county
with his parents and engaged as ieacher
in the public school at that place. Moth
ing was thought of the affair, only that
the officials were of the opinion that some
one had entered the office at night and
had committed the robbery.
Several days ago, r. p. Crawford. post
office inspector, sent telegram to United
States Marshal Fricke, stating that
young Mende, residing at Bluffs, was
suspected as having embeZzled the amount
above stated, and at once Deputy Mar
shall Kilgore went in pursuit of the &C
cuSed. Yesterday afternoon he returned
TO the city with Mr.. Mende and made
charge against him before Judge
Price for enlightenment. Mr.. Felt
sam, the Weimar postmaster, was sent
for and on his arrival this morning, was
examined by Commissioner Price. He
says he of the opinion that the defendant
is innocent.
Mende is still in the hands of the officers
and will probably give bond this after
noon. He is highly respected young
man and is prominent citizen of Bluffs.
He claims that he is not guilty and seems
to be Mortified at the idea of being arrest
ed. His examination was poStpon ed I'M
til next Thursday morning.

OYSTERS.

We notice that Colonial Blatant Done
Can has by his supreme ignorance ad.
vertised that the California club is
using his oysters. Having once used
their name in the papers he is, we
should deem, hardly likely to get a
second order. even were his trash ac-
ceptable to the members. As for his
other babyish and unintelesting free
lads" written to this mornings Times,
it is just like him in every respect.
Knowing, as he does, that the Morgan
Oyster company's representative left
this city on Saturday, he like a coward
tries to hit him behind his
back. The Times itself said on
Sunday "Colonel Duncan seems to have
shut up like clam. He thinks that
he, however, has no one to fight, as he
terms it, Colonel Duncan, there are
others who will stand up for man
when he is not present, and we can do
it. Our oysters alone can do it, and
combined with the oyster we sell, we
can in the future, as we did last week,
convince the public that the Morgan
Eagle brand is the only oyster in the
city; moreover, we are selling at a
lower price than Colonel Done-can can
ever make, and as he himself is already
80 tired and disgusted with his Lou
isi-ng oyster, we shall have much pleas
ure in selling him case OF our Nor
gans, and at our usual price Of 30 cents
per can.

every respect the affair was 9 success,
both regarding the entertainment and
the attendance, every seat in the room
being taken.
A programme of delightful excellence
was given, after which the audience
partook of the repast set for them. Ma
jor Elderkin was the chairman OF the
evening, and to his humor and grace as
a presiding officer is due in no small
part the enjoyment of those present.
The opening prayer was made by the
pastor, the Rev. DIR. Chichester, which
was followed by Miss Conradi with in
strumental music, the young LADY show
ing considerable skill. Mrs. Mathews
read the treasurer's report, followed by
remarks by the president, Mrs. Ayers.
The collection was taken up, Miss Con-
radi executing two instrumental selec-
tions. Miss Challie Burnett also sang
with her customary excellence.
A part of the programme was devoted
to sentiments, or as Major Elderdin put
it, to "dry toasts." The chairman
would introduce the toast and after
passing few fitting remarks would call
upon some member of the congregation
to respond.
"The day wecelebrate" was responded
to by Judge Minor, who took broader
view than that July 4th was the only
day intended, but said that this to the
members OF Emmanuel church
was the proper day to cele-
brate. He sketched briefly the
growth of Emmanuel church, the noble
work of the lady members particularly.
How they had toiled for the church,
how the organ was donated, and how
the pastor had brought such useful
helpmate into their midst.
Judge Hynes followed in response to
The Furnishing Fund. He briefly re-
lated the probable causes of the Puri-
tans' rigorous style and places of wor-
ship He referred to just sach church
that he saw years ago, where the ladies
were not supposed to beautify, even in
the smallest particular, and but for their
natural beauty the church would have
been bare of ornament.
A proper way to furnish the church
was to have good choir attached. He
would say that the furnishing of this
church in that respect as model.
The Coming Generation was responded
to by Mr.. Patterson, who, in few hu-
morous remarks, decided that the COM
ing generation could take care of itself.
Hon. John Shirley Ward was the
last speaker, responding to The Phono-
graph. He took an imaginative vein of
how Emmanuel church will be in 1920.
The speaker abounded in smooth-fow-
ing, howery sentences, rich in meta
phorical allusion. After the programme
it was announced that $403 80, about
one-third of the necessary amount to
pay off the debt, had been raised.
Rev. DR.. Fletcher pronounced the bene-
diction. Fhe audience was then ushered
into room adjoining the main one,
where delightful collation. was served.

MARRIED AT LAST.
Ii LING AND MAY FOSTER MAN
AND WIFE.
stacles-He Pays Lawyer a Big Fee
and Marries by Civil Contract.

Ii Ling, the almond-eyed son of the
orient, yesterday made May Foster, the
fair daughter of Mexico, Mrs. Ling, de-
spite the numerous obstacles which
strewed his path to matrimonial bliss.
The festive Ii departed from the
county clerks Office about a week ago,
the happiest Mongolian that ever
breathed, for he had safely stowedgaway
in some one of the many pockets of his
blouse a marriage license for which he
had just paid the county $3.50. His
fiancee awaited him up in Soporatown,
and with numerous friends extended a
cordial welcome to her husband, that
was to be.
The happy Ii kept open house that
night and his friends feasted and drank
with him until late hour. The festiv-
tiles continued all the next day, but
came to sudden termination when
Deputy County Clerk Bayley appeared
on the scene and told Lii he was wanted
at the court house. Ii was plunged
into the depths of despair when he
reached the county clerks Office and
was told that his license was void, as
the law will not permit Chinaman to
marry white woman.
He became mad and consulted law
yer, who could not help him out of his
difficulty save by suggesting sea mar
riage. III journeyed to San Pedro,
where he found an old sea salt who cap
tains tug. He agreed to marry the
unfortunate Celestial for a fee of $500.
Upon consideration Ii thought the cap
tain's price rather high, and again went
to his legal adviser, with the result that
a contract was made out and signed by
Ii and his bride, and the feasting and
drinking were resumed last night.
