COLORED MEMS CONVENTION.
PLANS TO DENoUNCE PRESIDENT FOR NOT
SURPRISING LYNCHINGs

Chicago Aug ia convention Of the Afro
American Council OF Colored Men will be held at
Bethel Church. beginning Wednesday and lasting
until Saturday evening. This convention will prob
ably be one OF the most important gatherings OF
colored men that has been held for some time. IL
Is expected that fight will result over the resolu-
ton. which II r. promised will be introduced de-
nourclng President Mckinley for not using the
Federal authorities to prevent lynchings IN the
South. There is doubt that resolutions OF TINS
import will be brought before the convention. and
TO that end the forces on both sides are already
lining UP.
The faction which will support the resolutions
WILL 1t Is understood. take the ground that the
broad humanitarian line would be drawn. that
lynch!ngs should not be tolerated either In Georgia
o Illinois, and that when the State authorities are
unable to prevent the recurrence OF such crimes
the strong hand OF the National Government shouid
step in no matter whether the victim be white or
black. From Washington are coming Congressman
George White. OF North Carolina. the only colored
Congressman in the present Congress; Judson Ly-
ons Register Of the United States Treasury. John
P. Green. United States Stamp Agent. ana 81 r.
Cheatham Recorder Of Deeds. They will, II Is said
stoutly oppose resolutions censurlng the Presi-
dent
Among other questions to be taken up is that Of
immigration. There IL a growing belief, II IL said.
among the leading colored men OF the country that
II half million negroes taken from the South
and scattered through the Northeast the eondi-
lions In the South would be ameorated to great
extent. The revised State constitutions or MIS-
sissipp Alabama North and South Carolina and
Louisiana will also receive careful CONSIDERATION
and funds will be raised TO get the questions in

Why 1 Am An Imperialist.

FRIEND BoB:-
You may have thought that be-
cause Of our silence we were quash-
sq-had satpsidedl and was ever
las'lngly done up by the election
of 1898; but such is not the fact.
We have only been thinking, and
having become an administration
imperialist, thinking is Of course 9
slow and laborious process, but
this is the result of our medits-
tions. When our philanthropic
president, in his message to con-
gress thet forcib!e annexation was
not to be thought Of, for that VOID
be criminal aggression; we were
we'll pleased, and said to our self:
now we have a chief executive who
has the manhood to carry out the
principles of American liberty;
one who would carry the stars and
stripes TO neighb9rips shores q

A late improvement in this depart
ment is an ingenious device which
may be- placed on their pipe OF reed
organs, rendering them selt-pIaying,
without interfering with the regular
use of the Instruments.
A strong point of the Kimball plan
in the direction of general economy Is
that of commanding location. The
shipping equipment, including private
tracks and dockage of 600 feet, gives
its immediate connection with the
markets of the world.
The scope of this vast plant is clear
ly demonstrated by the fact that the
demands of its representatives are so
great and the arrangements for meet
ing those demands so complete that
most of the shipments are made by
the car load direct to the buyers any
where in the country at manufacturers
prices, shows the genuine spirit of sue
cessful rivalry distinguishing our great
western institutions.

Fire Department Improves
manfa

| menus.
1t all plans which are now being con-
sidered by the FIRE committee of the
city council are carried to completion,
the city of Missouri Valley will have q
system of fire protection. which will be
unexcelled by any city of its size in the
west. The first Improvement which
the committee is contemplating is that
Of installing system of fire alarm
boxes throughout the city.
The system which the councils fav-
orable to, is the Gamewell system,
which is now used in all the leading
cities of the U nited States. The plans
and specification for this system call
for the location of electric fire alarm
boxes at advantageous points about
the city. These boxes are connected
with an electrical mechanism, at the
Second ward fire station. so that when
an alarm of fire is turned in at any OF
the boxes, it automatically ringS the
the alarm bell. First thu bell ifslssdund-
ed to call att-ntion, then. by 4. stated
code of signals the hell aDnonnces the
block and street from which sae Siarm
came. Inside the station will b
placed an indicator. which shows the
block, number and street or which the
fire is located. simultaneously with
the sounding of the city alarm, sys-
ten of alarm bells which will be in
stalled in the residences of each mem
Der of the department, will summon
the men from their homes. This sys-
tenn is the most complete and service
able system which the city can pro.
cure and the members of the commit
tee having the question in charge,
should not hesitate to expend the $500
asked for the system.
Another and important improve
ment, which the committee has IN
mind, is that of lifting up suite
of rooms on the second floor of the
city hall. Young unmarried members
of the city department, will have these
rooms placed at their disposal, with
their heat and light free. An opening
will be cut through the floor, and q
brass pole. such as is used in all fire
stations, will connect the second floor
with the room where the hook and
ladder trucks, etc, are stored. A men,
Der of the city council yesterday stat
ed that so soon as the proper altera-
tions in the system of fire protection
had been made it was the Intention of
the fire committee to purchase q horse
hose wagon, which would replace the
hand carts now in use.

Recent visits of the Pan American
Congress-, the Press and the Illinois
Music Teachers Association, called
attention more generally to the fact
that in Chicago are located group of
Piano and Organ Factories more than
double the size and output of any sim
liar institution in the world-those of
the w. w. kimball Company at
Twenty sixth and Rockwell streets.
To the five great factories of the
company, which even then fully en-
titled it to this distinction, sixth is
now being completed. This gives 8
grand total of eighteen acres of floor
space in this immense establishment.
The company with these great facili-
ties, will have daily output of fifty
five pianos, sixty reed organs and 8
number Of pipe organs-more than
double the capacity of any other piano
or organ factory in existence.
The entire system of factory tuild-
ings, while erected and constructed in
strict adoption to the seperate require
ments of a fold industry-pianos,
reeo; organs, and pipe organs-are all
connected in purpose, all run by the
same general equipment, under ore
management snd one line of operating
expenses.
With such great facilities, and with
