A MOTHERS GRATITUDE.
Many A Mother I'm OskalOOsa will APP
preciate the Following.

Many strong man and many a
healthy woman has much for which
to thank mother. The care taken dur
ing their childhood brought them
past the danger point and made them
healthy men and women. Children
are generally bothered at some
period with incontinence of urine,
and inability to retain it is oftimes
called habit. 1t is not the Child's
fault, the difficulty lies with the kid
neys and it can be ready righted if
taken in the proper way. An Oska-
loosa mother shows you how:
Mrs r. T. Spates of Ill North G.
street says:-''My sister in-law who
lives little way in the country, has
child who suffered with weak kid.
neys. Everything known was tried
but the annoyance still continued.
When l heard of Doan's Kidney Pills
/ got box at Blakeslee & Heinzman's
drug store and sent it. She gave the
pills to the child and since then has
told me that the kidneys gained in
atrength and in power of rete ntion.
This change was most pleasing to
her and she as well as /, do not fail
to give all the credit for bringing
about this result, to Doan's Kidney
Pills.

GARDENs.-It is good sign to see
so many gardens and truck patches
planted this spring, and many have
the garden stuffs well advanced. The
pleasure and economy that can come
from a garden is not to be despised
A good garden will save more dollars
and cents to a,laboring man during
the season than any other item about
his place.

METHODIST CONFERENCES IN TWO CAPITALS

The month of May this year is
marked by the quadrenniaI sessions of
the two largest organizations of Afro.
American Methodists in the world.
Not widely separated by age or differ
entlatiens in creed, the African Metho.
dist Episcopal Church and the African
Methodist Episcopal Zion Church have
marched upward and onward, eide by
side, growing in numbers, Christian
grace and temporal influence. They
are made up of the strongest factors in
the equation of race progress, and are
led by the ablest minds that the edu'
catlonal resources of our land can pro.
duce. The convention of the former
has chosen Columbus. Ohio, as the
scene OF Its labors, while the latter has
honored our community with its pres.
enoe. We welcome Zion to our hearths
and homes, and We bid the followers of
Allen God-speed in their work in
Ohio's stately capital. We invoke the
divine blessing upon the deliberations
OF each, and trust thsy may earnestly,
eonscientiously and intelligsntly strive
to solve the problems that stand in
need of solution, and that the Church,
the world and the race will reap un.
measured benefits from the legislation
to be enacted.

TIllMAN,

We are not certain but that the Ne.
gro journals of the land are wasting
too much valuable time and space
upon the infamous jackleg and shyster
who, through the bad judgment of the
state Of South Carolina, rattles around
in a seat in the United States Senate.
Ben Tillman is the expiring groan
Of the barbaric age when the stronger
forces enslaved or destroyed the weak
er, without explanation or apology.
He typifes an extremity of view on
the Negro problem that will hasten the
demise Of his own propaganda far
more quickly than if he had chosen
the rapier rather than the cutlass. His
very brutality and eoarseness shock
the finer sensibilities of the American
people, and their policy of silent con-
tempt and aversion is powerful evil
dsnce that they are not in sympathy
with bis sentiments. Tillman is an
outlaw Of the most despicable charac.
ter, and gentlemen of the cultured
class, represented by Fairbanks, VOL.

more attention to him than they would
to any other dog that might wander
into the chamber.
Intelligent people read of the proud

ings Of Tillman and all of his band of
cut'throats and thieves cannot iniure
us to the weight of a mustard seed.
No single utterance has done more to
break down whatever influence he
may have possessed than his gratuitous
insult to high'toned Northern audi.
ence few nights ago at Ann Arbor,
Mich. Tillman is still useful-but
only to serve as horrible example of
the depravity which ignorace and pre-.
Judice can generate in creature that
courtesy describes as a man, and to
illustrate the feebleness of the "lost
cause" which is struggling desperately
at Its last stand. The beginning of the
end has come and the patience of de-
cent people Is we'll nigh exhausted by
the assininity Of this pitchforkian Cy'
