THE coLoRED CLUE.
They Adopted Bylaws and Several Of Them
Made Rousing Speeches.

The Afre-American political and social
club met last night in Justice fuckers
court TO adopt a constitution and bylaws
for the club. which was recently estab-
iished. Tom Glover occupied the p-esi-
dents chair, while d. L. Robinson at
tended 10 the minutes OF the meeting.
About $50 colored voters were present,
several OF whom made rousing speeches.
.. l.. BOYD, the barber, was the principal
speaker of the evening, and he made the
following remarks, which show the humor
Of the colored people of Wichita with ref
erence to the appointment Of colored people
to Office:
Gentleman and Fellow Citizens:
The Afro-Americans, by reason of an in
/ herted origin, are very dOcIi. very submlS-
sive, and sometimes / apprehend. too
much so. Since our very worthy citizen
and friend, John L. Waller, WAS appointed
to that lucrative position, TO the extent of
=. 0g3 year, rs counsel TO Madagascar,
we have been coutented. Kansas gave
Mr.. Harrison over S2G09 majority over
Grover Cleveland n 1888 aud he received
2D000 Afro American votes II that number
We can. with admiration. look 10 but one
appointment as reward for our loyalty
to them IN attaining that glorious end.
OF all the federal offices in this state not
one Is held by an Afro-American. Postal
employees an the railway and carriers are
all white. Still we are told that If man
can pass examination he VIII be appointed.
Hundreds of such men can be found in
the states, several can De found ID this
district.
Right at your homes. talents can be
found in abundance, and are capable of
filling such positions. Iour votes are the
key TO the situation. Your votes conSen-
trated and united will bring an effeeuual
consideration. And in view of these facts
| an compelled to believe. and | here as
sert that the welfare of the colored citizens
of this state as well as the L nited States,
depends on organizing. Benefits can be
accrued from such eud that could not be
effected from any other We are entering
upon the threshold of contest which Is to
decide the principals upon which the last
contest was fought aud won. The coming
contest will be fought upon the same line.
The grand old party will not retreat
from its principles enunciated IL the plat
form OF 1885 Chairman Clark says
that the Afro-American and the ballot box
VIII be the question upon which the Re
publican party will go before the people
this coming contest. The outraged col
ored people of the south still look TO the
Republican party TO fulfill its promises TO
give them free ballot and fair count,
and the old party will not retreat from
those principles which have been repeat
eddy urged by our patriotic and loyal exec
utive, Benjamin Harrison. And in view
of these facts there must be no retreat
from our lifelong principles Let US be
so constituted in our actions and words
that we NAV sway backwards and for
called let US camp inside OF the Republi-
can CamD.

FOR RAISING a CHECK.
Frank Cooper, CoiOred Man Of st. Louis,
Arrested Here Yesterday.

Yesterday Frank Cooper, a colored man
who says his home is in St Louis, was
arrested here, and is now in Jail awaiting
the arrival of an officer from Ford county,
who will take him back to Dodge City for
trial. Cooper is charged with raising
check and swindling merchant of Dodge
City out of large amount OF money by
the transaction.
The sheriff of Ford county was going to
Leavenworth night before last, and met
an acquaintance of his on the train, who
was coming te Wichita He told the ac-
quaintance to make inquiries In Wichita
for Cooper, whom he described, and to let
him know by telegraph if be found any
body answering the description. When
the acquaintance arrived here yesterday
morning, one of the first men he met on the
street was Cooper, and he recognized him
the moment he saw him as the man the
sheriff of Ford county described to him.
He informed the police and the arrest was
promptly made.
There is no question about Cooper being
the right man, as he fills the description
in every detail. Cooper is smooth look
ing fellow, and the police think he is
an old offender, and that they have made
an important capture.

THEY WERE HERE.

A special from Lawrence yesterday says:
THE dispatches this morning state that
an elderly man and a young woman were
working the towns of central Kansas to
great advantage. The pair landed in Law
renee this morning, but before they got
fairly to work they were taken before the
mayor, who gave them an hour in which
to get out OF town. 1t took them but a
few minutes TO disappear They have a
very plausible story, do rot work together
and take no notice of each other They
have been very successful, as the young
woman is OF prepossessing appearance.
dresses we'll and tells story OF sickness
aud suffering which always brings her
sympathy. 1t is believed that they have
already secured several hundred dollars
since coming into the state. aud will get
much more if the officers do not make it
too warm for them"
That very same pair tried to work
Wichita a short time ago and would no
doubt have succeeded but for the timely
interference of Chief Burrows who made
it so hot for them the few days they were
here that they left before attempting to
operate their scheme They went to
Salina from here and a short time after
ward turned up in Emporia. They have
more than one scheme to work On, too, for
one day the woman is sick and tells a pit
liable story, the next day perhaps she is a
fortune teller and it was said here by oil
GERS, who were IN position to know, that
they would not hesitate about doing job
of shOD- lifting

MIR. PATTERSON OF HARPER.

Ex-County Clerk II. F. Patterson of
Harper county is up from Anthony spend
ing a few days pleasantly in the Peerless
Princess, where he has hosts OF warm
personal friends. Mr.. Patterson was q
candidate last fall for reelection, but he
went down before the Alliance wave after
making the race pretty hot for his op-
pOnent. Pat" as every body calls him,
is born politician but whether he belongs
to the young or old crowd nobody can tell,
tor the fact is he is staunch Republican
regardless of crowds. He knows every
Republican statesman in the country from
Jim Blaine to Dennis Flynn and he has
faculty OF making political predictions and
proving them that is really astonishing.
He says Harper county viii be in the
state convention this year with a strong
delegation favorable to a southwestern
candidate While in town he called at the
court house aud Jail yesterday and paid a
very high compliment to both buildings.
He Will leave tolay for Des Moines, Iowa,
where he will remain about three weeks
on important business.

DIVORCE PARADISE OF SOUTHERN
KANSAS,

Last N onth was the banner month for
divorce cases in this county and on one
day the disolutions Of the matrimonial
ties far exceeded the marriages. Wichita
is getting to be very popular abiding
place for those wishing to get divorces
and it is getting a local reputation
throughout the southwest which almost
equals the reputation of Chicago. Those
who desire TO get divorces naturally seek a
large city, and as Wichita is the largest
city in the southwest. they come here TO
avoid the scandal and III many cases to
hide away from those whom they desire
to be divorced from. 1t is estimated that
there are now as high as twenty women
acquiring residence here in view of get
ting a divorce from their husbands. There
is actually one house in town where three
women are acquiring a residence and sin
gular as it may seem the trio consists Of
mother and two married daughters.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.

Sixty tickets have been engaged for the
university extension lecture course in
popular science. But unless sixty more
tickets are subscribed for before Sunday,
it will be necessary to inform Chancellor
Snow that Wichita is not sufficiently in
terested to support the lecture course he
offers. Such intellectual apathy does not
reflect credit upon our city. All who care
to bring their know 'ge of astronomy
and geology up to date. and those who are
ambitious for their children's education
will receive further Information about the
movement upon application. Address,

AN OLD TIMER.

s. B. Wallace. formerly one of the most
prominent cattlemen of northern Texas,
but now a banker of Denver, Colo, was in
the city few hours yesterday. Mr. Wal
lace used to come here quite often, as far
back as 20 and ~, with cattle, and tells
some very good stories about the childhood
of the Peerless Princess. He knows Judge
Mccoy and many other old timers. He
says the reputation of Wichita in the bust
ness circles Of Denver is very good, and
that it is the general opinion there that it
will be the chief city of the southwest
before many years.
For time, he said, the stock of Wichita
was very low out west, but it has gradu-
ally advanced until now 1T is above par
with all those who study the conditions
that 90 TO make business center He
visited the new city building, the court
house and other places, during the few
hours he was in town, and regretted very
much that he had not the time at his
disposal TO visit the stock yards, where he
expected to meet some familiar face
among the stockmen.

A pANGEKOUS HOLE.

Chief Walden of the fire department has
a presentiment that some one is going to
get killed at the corner of Market aud
Douglas. between Biting Brothers store
and the Fourth National bank. by the fire
department vehicles. He says that it is
the worst place in the city TO cross in going
to a fire and that if is not fixed soon some
terrible accident will occur. The gutter is
very deep and when the horses come to it
at full speed they are compelled to jump
it and stand in iminent danger of falling.
The BOYS are all afraid of it, too, and share
with their chief in the prophecy that some
one will get killed there yet.

Yesterday about fifteen men were st the
Rock Island depot Flooding their weary
way back towards Kansas City. They told
a terrible story if true. About two weeks
ago a Kansas City employment agent ad-
vertise6 for 100 men TO work on the extern
sion of the Rock Island road from Minco.
o. T., to Fort Worth. They paid him a
dollar each and with several others were
shipped to Mince. When they got to the
work the contractor did not want them
and the poor fellows were left without a
penny in their pockets scarcely. They ask
ed TO be returned but were refused and the
consequences was they had 10 return as
best they could and depend on
the charity of those whom they met
10 give them q helping hand along the
way. They did very well so long as they
were passing through Oklahoma, but SUI
fered terribly as they were passing through
the Cherokee Strip. sixtyfour miles OF
desolate prairie, without having bite OF
food to eat for two days. until they reached
Caldwell, where the generous citizens Of
The Border Queen contributed 10 their i'm
mediate wants. On account Of the large
number of them who travelled together
they could not steal a ride and
as the rules of the Rock Island
company are very strict against
carrying passengers free. the conductors
did not dare TO carry so many of them as
it would be impossible 70 do so without it
becoming known to the company. They
were all laboring men and many of them
left families after them in Kansas City in
destitute circumstances, depending, of
course on the promise OF the agent that
they would get work When they will
reach Kansas City they claim they viii
make it hot for the agent and from the
tenor OF their remarks if the law does not
reach him their own good stout arms
will
