Battle At Port Arthur.
SAYS THE NEGRO WILL WORK
OUT HIS OWN SALVATION

Colfax, July 27-"The negro will
find his own salvation" is the view of
DIR. r. c. Ransom, pastor Of the In
ternational A. M. E. church of Chica-
CO. one of the most noted colored
platform orators of America, as he ex.
pressed it in his address, "The Black
Man in the White Mans Country" at
the chautauqua here. There was
large audience and the attendance at
this years chautauqua promises to
eclipse all previous sessions.
In part, DR.. Ransom spoke as fol-
lows:
The UnsoIved Problem.
america has met and solved many
problems This great negro question
is the one great problem yet unsolved.
The black man owes no apology for
being here He came without invita-
tion, he has no inclination to go away.
The proposition to send him back to
Africa is but dream. say, let the
negro alone. He will solve his prob.
lem himself Grand old Massachu-
setts has erected monument for the
first man, black one, to give his
blood for his country in the revolu-
ton. The blood of my fathers has
flown in every battle from Bunker
Hill to San Juan. We have always
stood for the constitution and the
flag. can not think the blood spilled
by the boys in blue was shed in vain,
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1904-07-28

though few orators and writer's have
seemed to turn the tide against the
cause of the negro since the war.
An Initiative Race.
"They call us an initiative race.
Perhaps it is true some Of us have
stolen chickens, but have we ever
stolen banks or railroads? The north
looks in horror on the lynchings of ne
groes in the south, yet in the south a
black man is allowed to work at any.
thing he can do, while in the north
he may elbow the white man in his
educational advantages and be debar-
red from employment for which he is
fitted
But would say let the white man
fight out the social question. The ne.
gro, whom the war left homeless and
even nameless, has solved his finan.
cial problem by earning his home like
his white brother. He is solving his
educational problem by graduating
with honor from Harvard and other
schools.
"1he white race is the single ey
ample of people making a superior
race of an inferior one In the bye
and bye the black man and the white
man may go out together and heir
other nations solve their problems and
teach them out of their own e.peri

great morning of fraternity"

Sioux City, July ~. A million
dollar a day crop report was issued
yesterday at the headquarters of the
Sioux City division OF, the. cCsteagosca cass
Northwestern Railway company.
These hot days and intermittent
showers are worth $1.000,000 day to

FIVE IOWANS ARE KILLED
IN ELECTRICAL STORM

Hazelton, Ia, July a. = Five per-
sons were killed near here late last
night during severe electrical storm.
At Oneida three miners and a baby
were killed by a bolt of lightning. At
Quaker Valley the lightning struck
the home of Miles Hinkle killing Mrs.
Hinkle and seriously injuring her
daughter.
Cedar Rapids Hit.
Cedar Rapids, July 27. - With light.
ming and thunder like the blaze and
crack of regiment of riflemen, rain
by the bucket full and hail and wind
as accompaniments summer storm
of unusual violence swept over parts
of Linn county yesterday afternoon,
doing considerable damage to growing
crops and likewise damaging num-
ber of buildings in this city, For years
there has been a feeling of security
that Cedar Rapids, safely sheltered in
the valley of the Cedar could come to
no harm from severe thunder storms
Yesterdays storm went long way
towards dispelling that comfortable
feeling. The lightning burned the root
off one house and played havoc with
Ia number of other buildings. In some
parts of the city there was a very high
wind which suggested tornado. In
other parts of the city hardly a breath
of air stirred while the rain fell in a
flood. 1t didn't rain quite an hour but

.2.72 inches Of rain fell, according to
the government guage.
Not General Storm.
1t was not general storm. At the
Rock Island dispatchers office here it
was said that the storm was confined
to Linn county and there were large
parts of the county which did not suff-
er. At Center Point there was no rain
at all. The same was true of Linn
Junction, but three miles from the city
limits Passengers coming in on the
evening trains were astonished to
learn that there had been such a
heavy rain here.
On the other hand the storm at Ma
rion was harder than in Cedar Rapids
except that the lightning did not do
SO much damage. Telephone reports
from Marion a little after 2 O'Clock
said that terrific storm of rain and
hail was raging there. At that time
the sun was shining brightly in this
city. 1t rained an hour at Marion be.
fore the storm broke here.
Two Killed at Rock Rapids.
Rock Rapids. July 27. - During a
thunderstorm Monday afternoon D.
Engderson and G. F. Johnson who

about two miles north of town on the
bank of the Rock river, were struck
by lightning and instantly killed ,theil

Beginning of the End.
Toxic, July Pit is believed in
military circles here that the begin
ming of the end of the first great phase
of the land campaign is at hand. The
operations of Gen. Oku and Gen.
Nodzu against Kuropatkin's south
front are thought to have co-ordinated
with the forward movement of Kuro-
XII against the railway, making it prac-
tically impossible for the Russians to
escape a decisive series of battles.
The Japanese hope to be able to de-
feat their enemy SO thoroughly that
an opportunity may arise to arrange
peace. Nevertheless, preparations
are complete for a campaign in the
north should it be necessary for the
achievement of the governments fun
damental aims.
