The colored American., 1904-06-11

At Grand Island, Neb., is a young
coIored man, who, by dint of industry,
by thrift, honesty, and with a very
little money, has built up a unique, but
very successful business. His name is
a. W. CAREY, who went to the little
town of Grand Island, Neb., a little
more than ten years ago. He is a
southern product, and started north
west to make his way. He was a cook
by trade and found color prejudice
very strong when he reached Granu
Island. He began work as a cook in
one of the leading hotels and remained
there for four years. When he was
employed, all of the white help wanted
to strike, but the man who ran the
hotel had courage, and made it dis
tinctly understood to them that the
colored cook CAREY was going to stay,
and he did stay, and to the credit o.
himself, he is still there
When he first started in business for
himself, he peddIed a lunch can, and
sold sandwiches and other things until
he had built up a route. By paying
strict attention to his business, he soon
built UP a trade large enough to en-
able him to use a lunch wagon, mov-
ing from one part of the town to
another. The business kept on grow
ing until, very soon he had built to
order lunch car, and this necessitated
the employment of extra help.

better mutual understanding, for a
better knowledge of what they were
doing in the different parts of the

ing an organization by which a record
could be taken and kept of the progress
made along these lines. The initial
meeting was a success and the second

BRIDGES UNSAFE Fer USE
kAW RIVER At TOPEKA, KAN.
EIGHTEEN FEET ABOVE LOW
WATER MARK.

Topeka, Kan, May 31-The Raw
river is eighteen feet above low water
mark at this point and apparently at
standstill.l The run of driftwood has
been very heavy and the Rock Island
people were busy the greater portion
of the night dislodging the accumula-
ton at their bridge with dynamite.
Notwithstanding these efforts the
greater portion of the false work of
this bridge, which is being reconstruct
ed, went out, making the bridge un-
safe for traffic. The street railway
bridge also was knocked out of align
ment, making the passage of cars i'm
possible. The waters extend far up in
the city park and out on the North
Side to some of the dwellings, but no
serious damage further than the wash
ing away of chicken coops and side
walks is reported.
In Little Russia" a number of the
families are moving out, as the waters
are backing up to their dooryards.
Many North Topeka citizens came
across the bridge to Topeka proper.

New York, May 31.-Money orders
from all over the country, aggregating
thus far $4,000, are pouring into the
general postoffice for concern known
as the Eastern Trade company"
Mail thus addressed was ordered
held UP month ago by the postal
authorities because, it is alleged, of a
circular which fell into the hands of a
mail clerk informing him that he had
won a prize of some sort for which, to
his knowledge, he had never competed.
Advertising in the local postoffces
throughout the country has failed to
check the stream of money orders
and they are being returned to the
senders as fast as possible. One clerk
is being kept busy remailing the let
tiers at the rate of 1000 a day.
