A CHURCH DEACON

Compels His Ten-Year-Oid Son to Steal
From tho Contribution Box.
WICHITA, Kas., Dec. 1.-George Silli-
man, ten-year-old boy, is under ar
rest on the charge of robbing the con-
tribution box of the Baptist Sunday
school at Baughman, near Wichita
For more than six months money has
been missed and action was taken to
expel the treasurer of the school, Miss
Effic Markham, from the church and
have her arrested for embezzlement, as
she could not account for the missing
money, amounting to nearly $l0O.
When arrested the boy was almost
paralyzed with fear and said that his
father had whipped and compelled him
to steal the money. Silliman is a
wealthy farmer and deacon in the
church. The testimony is supported
by his mother. He took the money
during prayer in the Sunday school
service. The elder Silliman has been
arrested

This unfortunate state of affairs might have
been avoided had the mother, during the
period of expectant motherhood, taken the
right care of the delicate organs that make
maternity possible. A woman should al
ways keep these important organs we'll and
strong. Her own health and that of her
child depend upon it.
The best medicine for prospective moth
ers is DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription It
makes healthy and strong the organs that
bear the burdens of maternity. It cures all
disease and weakness. 1t makes comfort
able the period preceding motherhood and
renders the advent of baby easy and nearly
painless. 1t insures q healthy child. The
pains and suffering that women endure, as
a result of weakness of the distinctly wo-
manly organism, vanish under its use. All
good druggists sell it. There is nothing
else Just as good"
"Iwant to tell you," writes Mrs N. A. Thomas,
OF 400 Pulaski Street, Little Rock, Ark, "that my
daughter, Mrs. Lawrence, who lives In Texar-
kama, Ark, had been under the doctors care for
four years. lately sent her word to try the
Prescription, and have just heard that it has
done her more good than all the doctors"
"The Peoples Common Sense Adviser "
explains symptoms of ailments common to
every family, and suggests remedies. 1t
has several chapters on womans diseases
and weaknesses. An edition in heavy
paper covers will be distributed ABSOLUTELY
free. Send the Worlds Dispensary Med
ical Association, Buffalo, N. Y, 81 one.cent
stamps, to pay the cost of mailing only.

That GAINESVILLE is to have natural

territory ia this section. One company
has holdings near Black Hand and will
begin active operations in the near
future. The second company, it is
understood, will be capitalized at 81
100000. Application for papers OF
incorporation have been made to the
Secretary OF State and the papers will
be issued this week. The promoters oi
the company control extensive leases
at Sugar Grove, Fairfield county, and
also near Malta, Morgan county. As
previously stated, the work of drilling
will be begun at once.

not because they
fare without moth

that there Is no ultimate hope for my
race In Washington?
Ex-senator Bruce, a leading colored
man, takes much more hopeful view
OF the case. NO" he said in answer tc
my query, II do not expect to live to see
social equality, but l do not despair fol
my race. Time will ameliorate the dif.
hculty. When the colored people raise
themselves TO the level of the white
man intellectually and financially the
difficult problem Will be solved, fol
when have what the white man wants
my color will not keep him from com.
ing to me for 1t. And my people have
made wondrous progress; no other peo.
pie under Gods heaven have made such
advancement despite such adversities
as they. Think Of 1t! Every other
class of people have had those of their
number who inherited their wealth, but
scarcely a dollar of our wealth came to
us through Inheritance Thirty five
years ago we were penniless, ignorant
and utterly inexperienced people. No
one owned any rsoperty and no one had
any experience in acquiring 1t, yet look
all over the land to-day and there is
scarcely a hamlet where colored people
may not be found sitting between their
own vine and fig-tree."
Compare the Russian serf with the
negro
Thirty years ago four and q half
millions of black people were set free
and scarcely one Of them owned the
price of a breakfast. AT about the same
time these Russian serfs were freed
also, but to each family certain num-
Der of acres were given them and pit
tance on which to start life. Compare
them now. The serf is the down-trod-
den serf still; the Russian Jews have
swindled him out of almost all his prop
erty and he has become the menace of
civilization, the nihillst. Did you ever
hear Of negro who was an anarchist
