NEGR0S ARE BARRED
Frsion Management in Kansas Will
try to Disfranchise COlOred

try TO DlSfranchiSe COlOred
Topeka, Oct. 16.-Reliable informa-
tion has been received at Republican
state headquarters that the fusionists
will endeavor to disenfranchise the
negro voters of Kansas on election
day. The reports to that effect are
coming in from several sections of
Kansas, so that the movement seems
to be general. The following letter
from w. G. Buck, secretary of the
Republican committee of Nemaha
county, is a fair sample of the entire
lot:
Morton Albaugh, Chairman.
Dear Sir:-The Democrats here
say that the negroes in Kansas have
no right to vote, and that they pro-
pose to bar them from voting here on
election day. Please advise me what
to do to protect the rights of the col
ored voters"
Similar information has been re-
ceived from Wyandotte, Graham,
Bourban, Douglas and Sedgwick
counties, centers of colored popula-
tion.
Having been unable to corral the
colored vote, the fusion managers
now propose to adopt South Carolina
methods and prevent the colored citi-
zens from voting.
The Democrats claim that, under
section /, article V. of the state con-
stitution, colored males are barred
from voting. That section reads:
Every (white) male person of p
years and upwards who shall have re-
sided in Kansas six months next pre-
ceding any election, and in the town
ship or ward i'm which he offers his
vote at least thirty days next preced-
ing such election shall be deemed a
qualified voter"
The Kansas constitution was adopted
in 1850 and went into operation in
1861. Since then the fifteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution has
been adopted and, as note to the
section quoted above in Webb's gem
eral statutes of Kansas, the author
says: "The word white in section
one became imperative by the force
of the fifteenth amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States, which
took effect March 30, 1879"
Chairman Albaugh, of the Republi-
can state committee, ridicues the
scheme hatched 10y the fusion mana
gers to shut out the coored vote.
"Of course, the fusion manipulators
are liable to try most any sort of Il
scheme,' said he today. Like the
drowning man, they are grabbing at
straws. They realize their coming de-
feat in this state and are growing des-
perate. 1t was shown up few days
ago where they propose to attempt to
disfranchise the Kansas soldiers in
the Philippines. Now they are fgur-
ing on barring the colored vote. The
next move they make will probably be
to attempt to dlsfranchise everybody
who will not vote their ticket. In the
matter of trying to disfranchise the
negroes, they are simply working
along the line predicted by the Repub.
licans, namely, to gradually wipe out
negro suffrage in every state in the
Union. They have already disfran.
chised the negroes in seven Southern
states and are extending their work
along that line just as fast as they
dare to go.

SMALL EPIDEMIC OF FIRES
Wilson and Forster Residences Are
 Destroyed.

Wednesday was a day of fires in Phoenix. About noon a dwelling house owned by Mike Forster of Mesa, and To- cated on Jackson street, west of the capitol building, was discovered to pe on fire and was destroyed before any strong effort could be made to save it. The chemical engine of the city fire department made the run to the scene but could do no good The fire is be- Iieved to have had it's origin in the spontaneous combustion of a lot of oils and paints stored on the sunny side of the second floor of the house. The house was valued at about $2OO0 and was in sured for $1 300. It was a new struc- ture and was unoccupied at the time of the fire.
 About 9:3O o'clock in the evening the department was called to the residence of William Wilson on South Eleventh avenue. The building had been fired by defective f1ue and burned like finder Part of the contents were saved. The loss may reach s1,2OO. The Gowett residence, at Alhambra, was aisc burned yesterday.

HOW TO KEEP COOL.

Don't worry-and don't worry be- cause you can't help worrying.
 Don't sit on a hot stove.
 Don't drink hot Scotches. or Tom and JeIrys. or hot rum punches.
 Don't talk politics-the other fellow is heat-producing fool anyway.
 Don't get excited. If your dog is be- ing whipped. look at the thermometer and resign yourself to his fate.
 Don't swear at the heat. Remember the time you became profane when you slipped in the snow six months ago.
 Don't walk in the sun. Have Ii moved if it blocks the way.
 Don't hurry. Send the office boy.
 Don't try to sett!a the Philippine question. The ether fellow is just as much of an anti-be-convicted as you are.
 Don't look at the ice bill. Think ot the ice. Don't wear an Overcoat. Don't sleep betw en blankets.-Balti- more American.

"Tommy is such a good boy" said Mrs. Taddells to the minister, as she served the pastry. You know, Dr. Choker. that pie isn't good for little boys"
 That is very true, Mrs. Taddells, said the minister. as he put a mouthful of custard pie where it would do the most good-or harm-''that is very true, Mrs. Taddells. When I was boy I was not allowed to eat pastry. and all mothers must watch their childrsns' diet very carefully"
 "Eut I am not at all harsh with Tom my, you will understand, doctor" Mrs. TadGells went on. Whenever I have something for desert which Tommy cannot eat-pie. for example-I give him five cents to pay for his depriva tion. And Tommy takes it so cheerful ly, doctor. He never objects in the least. Tommy is such a dear boy, Dr. Choker."
 "I am very glad to hear it, Mrs. Tad dells. No. thank you, I could not think of eating more than one piece of pie excellent as it is. But I am truly glad

This confession read, Eliza testified that she saw the boys and their guns outside the house before the shooting.

 Her story made a profound sensation, as the defendants had established a tentative alibi by numerous witnesses. and it was the general belief that they were innocent.
