Has Last Hope ealIxed

In the first opening Of Oklahoma tCS
settlers in 1889, the editor Of this
paper was among the many seekers
after fortune who made the big race
one fine day in April. During his
travels about and afterwards hiScarap-s
ing upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together with
the severe heat, gave him very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible TO check, and along in
June the case became so bad he ex-
pected to die. One day one OF his
neighbors brought him one small
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last nope.
A big dose was given him while he was
rolling about or the ground In great
agony, and In a few minutes the dose
was repeated. The good effect Of The
medicine was soon noticed and with
in an hour the patient wa taking his
first sound sleep for a fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but tee
grateful. The, season for bowel dis
OrGers being at hand suggests this

Catholics viii Celebrate

Members OK the Catholic church are
preparing to hold a monster carnival
and picnic at the Akin farm on July 4.
1t is expected to be the biggest thing
of the kind that ever happened to the
county. Patriotic addresses will be
made by good speakers, and in the
afternoon will take place the carnival
of sports-athletic contests, horse
racing, base ball and so on. A good
band of music will be secured to help
things along.

Circumstances Alter Gases

circumstances Alter Cases
Ordinarily when a multi-millionaire
marries a lady who has figured in the
chorus, it takes a whole front Of
poster type to do justice to the occas-
ion on the front pageof one Of Hearst's
yellow journals. But the other day
when Mr.. Hearst himself was united
to q former chorus lady, the announce
ment was made as i~nconspiclous as
possible. Which goes to prove that
circumstances alter cases even with
the yellowest of them all.-Winona

Another New Milking Machine

A recently invented milking ma
chine was on exhibition at q dairy
farm near Huron last week with which
a eleven-year-old boy is said to have
MIXED thirteen cows in t~hirty-6ve
minutes.
About the best milking machine we
ever saw was Jake Hammel, "A. w.
H~annemen's partner here in an early
day. This writer had a COW that was
about the hardest mixer n runs on
to-and 1T seemed doubly SO in that
She was the first COW he aver MIXED
a deuced hard COW to learn on-that
she a When in good flow she
would run a ten-Quart pail owe and
it took us a good half hour to get it
out. Jake said he'd bet the cigars
he could milk her in five minutes
and he o the smokes-milked
Dutch fashion-with the knuckle OF
his thumb-and, gosh! how he'd make
the milk fly.

Sheriff Daniels of Buffalo county re-

Sheriff Daniels of Buffalo county re-
turned from Sioux Falls Monday
night after safely landing his bank
robbers in the Sioux Falls pen. Upon
the arrival of the prisoners there the
warden and other officers at once recog-
nized both of the men and called them
by name. The m who goes by the
name of John Abbott has been in the
pen twice before, once under the
name OF John Allen and again as
Appleton. The other, James Burns,
has been in the pen once on a three
years sentence and again four years.
So it looks as though the Buffalo
county people did q good act in put
ting this precious pair where they
won't do any harm forsome time-even
though the evidence against them
wasn't SO very strong.
An exchange says: We are all poor
critters. Not long ago a prominent
merchant in a neighboring town re-
|ceived a letter from a large distilling
firm asking for a list of names of
citizens who might be interested in
literature issued by the firm setting
forth the merits Of a new brand Of
whiskey and promising him a commits
sion on all sales. The merchant being
somewhat of a practical joker him
self, sat down and made out a list Of
the prominent prohibitionists of the
place and forwarded it. He forgot all
about the matter until about a month
later when 1t was called to his atten-
tion by a letter from the firm of dis.
tillers enclosing a draft OF S15.5 so, with
thanks for the list, which had been
found peculiarly renumerative.
When g. r. Tinan uses city water
out of hours he does it openly-in
broad daylight-vith a lawn sprinkler
where anybody going by can see it
even kind friends ~ who run to the
marshal with it-as a dozen or more
other water consumers have done re-
|peatedly in order to save a tree or
patch of grass. He does not sneak
out under the cover Of darkness, pull
the sprinkler off, drag the hose into a
big grader and let it run all or half
the night-as c. !. maynard is said to
have done all last summer-compell-
ing the water commissioner to shut off
the mains entirely at night. We
think itfar more reputable to raise
tree or make a lawn for others to en-:
JOY as well as the owner than to raise a
Zig garden of stuff at public expense
because we are to stingy to buy it.
For every drop of water we have
surreptiously taken from the mains to
raise a treeao beautify this town,
we're betting that c. j. maynard has
sneaked out barrels to raise potatoes
to feed his worthless carcass Even
the water commissioner since the fuss
is reported to have said that
"Mr. Tinan did not use near the
amount others do" and he probably
had the contemplate excrescence
down the street in mind when he
said it.

have supreme faith that the race will
sustain them without assistance from
white men who always know a good

This confidence in the race appears
fully justified. The proposition seems
to have been at once popular in all
parts of the country, but especially in
the far South. Influential men like
General RobertSmalls, of South Caro-
lima, and Hon. H. A. Rucker, of GeOr-
gia, have taken large blocks of stock,
and their example has been followed
by a surprisingly large number of our

success of this effort is of course, due
TO the personality of the officers. They

A number of gentlemen met in
Nashville, Tenn, and formed a con-
vention which lasted from October
7th to 9th, 1901, and organized the
COIOred National Emigration and
Commercial Association, and elected
Dr. w. H. Heard, President; l.. P.
Lemon, Secretary; i. Howard Jones,
of F'indly, Ohio, Vice-President, and
several other necessary officers, in
Guiding myself as Chancellor and
Treasurer A larger Convention was
held in Chattanooga, Tenn, on the
28th to Goth, of May, 1902, when most
of the officers were reelected. and
the convention assumed more aggres-
sive measures.
The chief object of the convention
was to raise a hundred thousand dol
lars to purchase ship TO ply be-
tween the United States and Africa
for emigration and commercial pur-
poses. and the price of the stock to
purchase the ship was put at the ridic-
ulous price of five dollars per share.
SO that the poorest member or our
race could purchase one share, and
those who are able could buy fifty or
a hundred, or five hundred shares.
Of course money has been coming In
ever since the organization, and, es-
peciaIIy since our convention in Chat
tanooga. Five dollars almost daily,
and once and a while twenty dollars,
forty dollars, and hundred dollars
at a time So that we have several
hundred dollars paid in on ship stock,
but only members of the association
can vote on how we shall expend the
money which is paid in to the Treas
ury.
Ship stock, of course is sacred to
the object for which it is paid In,
to purchase a ship for commercial and
emigrational purposes, and can De
used for nothing else. The Assocla-
ton is chartered by the laws of the
land, and its provisions in every re-
spect are legal. Much more might De

Nothing is more gratifying to The
ColOred American IN its unceaSing
warfare against the enemies of the
race and especially against those of
them who deny that we have business
acumen, or that we are capable of
originating and maintaining unim-
paired large business enterprises, to
point out what the race has done, or is
doing for itself in all fields of higher
endeaVOr. So that it is with peculiar
satisfaction that we call attention to
the Wilgera Oil and Gas Company, of
Columbus, Ohio, an organization in
corpOrated under the laws of West
Virginia, and which, as it's name i'm
ports, designs to develop mineral oil
and gas lands in that state as we'll as
in Ohio. Its capital stock has been
fixed at $5O,000,' and every precaution
taught by experience has been taken
to protect the interests of the present
and all prospective stockholders.
1t has lately placed this stock on
the market, and to win the prompt
confidence of the public to which it
appeals, it has a number of excellent
recommendations not always present
when similar organizations appeal for
public support. It's present holdings
situated in the greatest oil belt of
Ohio, are valued largely in excess
of its capital stock. Its stock is non
essessable, thus protecting absolutely
the owner of the few shares of stock,
who in many cases is at the mercy of
the large holder, by the we'll known
game Of freeze-out. The small stock
holder cannot be frozen out. There
are no eXorbitant salaries paid to
officers of the company, and no luxuri-
Gus officers to absorb the money of the
stockholders.
The company is not purely pen
and ink sketch, but with ever increas-
ing facilities, is now at work indus
triously to bring forth from the
bowels of the mother earth her hidden
treasures, which have become the ne
cessities of the present age, and to
retain the increment or earnings IN
the pockets of the stockholders so
greatly has the company been encour-
aged that it is negotiating for hund-
reds of additional oil lands in Doth
States. But the most unique features
of this gigantic and brilliant enter
prise is that it is an organization by
Negroes, for the benefit of Negroes,
that it was conceived in the brain OF
a Negro, that it is officered, managed,
and controlled by Negroes, and tnat
no white man now owns or VIII De
permitted to own single share OF lts
stock. 1t is and is to be absolutely
a race effort. So pertinaciouS is the
management on this point that graf

RALEIGH. N. c.. Feb. 21.-The greatest
social and criminal sensation Raleigh has

ENCOURAGEMENT.

Mr.. John E. Dodds, a lumbermsn with
an office in the Brown block. is sponsor for
the newest independent telephone company
TO invade Omaha. Mr.. Dodds says:
"The Northwestern Telephone company OF
Toledo, o., has determined to construct an
independent system OF telephones In Omaha.
All the company wants to know is that the
people Of Omaha desire a second company.
To ascertain the E.ate Of public sentiment
canvassers are going to be sent through the
city at once, beginning Monday morning, to
solicit contracts for telephone service with
the new company. II these solicitors meet
with success and a list OF subscribers shall
be obtained large enough to warrant the
company in building the system will be
constructed.
TT name of the company is the Omaha
Home Telephone company. AS soon as the
preliminary work Of obtaining a list OF
contracts is completed and the right to en-
ter the city has been determined. the COM
pany desires to interest local capital. 1t Is
expected that a large percentage Of the
| stock will be owned here.
1.-THE price OF telephones provided for in
the contracts is 1888 per month for busi-
ness telephones and 50 per month for resi-
dence telephones.
Inc original northwestern COMPANY u
capitalized at $500, 900. The Home company
Of Toledo, which is really a part of the
Northwestern company, has 5000 telephones
in operation and is capitalized at $1,000, 900
The same company is putting in the new
system at Kansas City under the name Of
the Kansas City Home Telephone company
The company deposited with the city on

furnish any reasonable bond to the people
OF Omaha for the completion of the worl
when it shall once be undertaken"
