The story Of jeff Logan, and His Rise
from Save Boy to Man Of Moons
and Influence the Host ot Govern;
ors and Political Leaders at His
Famous 'Possum Dinners.

Below we print part of the very
excellent write-up of Mr.. Logan which
appeared in the Mail and Times, Dec.
3.
1t is doubtful if there IS man in
Des Moines who has made more OF
what opportunity has offered him
than jeff Logan. His life-his rise
from slave boy to man of means, in'
fluence, leisure, popularity and con-
tentment-offers many a wholesome
suggestion. AS he said the other day,
looking back over his humble but we'll
spent life, the man who at the end has
nothing to show but a pile Of gold,
''his life has been a total failure"
Uncle JEFF has tried to give the world
something in return for what he has
taken from it, and his idea Of measur-
ing success is to ask, What pleasure
have you found in lifeu and what have
you done for others infreturn?" Com
pairing the results he has achieved
with those of others of equal or mucn
greater opportunities, he feels pretty
well satisfied. .r... .-,...
The story Of this mans life, all the
free part of which has been spent in
Des Moines, is interesting and worth
knowing about, telling the wonders
that have been wrought in the land
of the free" in the last forty dears.
Jeff Logan's father was slave, and
so was his mother. The lived IN
Johnson county, Missouri. in the north
western part of the state, and fortun-
ately belonged to a generous, kind
hearted man, who gave the slave a
patch OF ground, about three acres,
to work on his own account. With
this the proceeds of splitting rails
at fifty cents a hundred, he managed
to save enough money to buy himself.
Then he got a little farm and soon
bought his wife and one little boy.
Another was born soon after, free, OF
course. The other two boys, jeff and
Mose belonged to different men, and
Nose was sent to California in '49
with nephew of his owner, to work
in the gold mines. He no sooner ar
rived there than he found there was
nothing to hold him, and he went free,
encouraged by young white men from
his old home who had also gone there
to make their fortunes. This brother
rose to a position Of wealth in Cali
fornia, boss over hundreds of white
men in mining operations. s' -. :
Meantime the father was toiling

York City. The two weeks offered
them was Detroit and Cleveland, the
cause of their declining the offer their
company had been booked to sail for
England, consequently they could not
accept.
So you see that some of our colored
performers have made great strides.
Mr.. Earnest Hogan is supposed to be
our highest salaried (single) enter
tainer that we have.
Cole & Johnson also are high sal.
aried act. And as to their ability in
song composers they have no equals in
their respective lines.
Mr.. Bob Cole of Cole & Johnson has
other vocations in life outside Of his
profession. He Is strictly q moderate
young gentleman, quite an attentive
scholar to Sunday schools, and also q
member Of the Y. M. G.. A. in New
York City.
s A great many Of the fine singing
and dancing numbers, that we see in
the large white companies are staged
under the personal direction of Bob.
Cole, one of the most genial men
among the colored profession, intel
lectual and pleasant to meet is Bob.
Cole.
The Mallory Bros. are two more of
our fine men. They have worked
steadily in the past years, constantly
improving their act until today they
have one of the finest musical acts
before the public, either white or
black. s.1..-.
These gentlemen are among the few
that have fxed themselves comfort
ably.
At their home in Jacksonville, ILL.,,
they have lovely property and live in
grand style. Botn OF them are mar
ried and the same pleasant smiles and
chats they have together while on the
stage doing their acts seem to prevail
at their homes. - '~3,
Goggins & Davis, the famous aero
batic team, who are now playing
through England, are amongst the
prominent acts. They have crossed
the Atlantic five different times to I'll
European engagements. .'.
Irwin Jones, Grant & Grant, Carter
L Blueford and a host of others that
l could mention that are making good
in the show business. Like all other
walks in life the performer has his
ups and downs, but while looked upon
by some Of the public as reckless
livers and throwing their money away
uselessly. still, for all of that, we have
some that have given good account
of themselves as to their earnings.
You will find people in all vocations
Of life who make big sums of money
and don't save a cent, so why should
one look down on the performer as
the only spendthrift. ...
Let there be a disaster of some kind
overtake town, matters not in what
particular you will find the performer
one of the first to be there and offer
his service towards helping raise
funds for the occasion. .>. ar

away in Missouri, adding to his acres,
paying his debts and trying to buy his
other children. tWns boys and n girl
Shortly before the war, he called them
out of his little place and told them
that he was getting too old to hope to
buy, them out of slavery, for they were
young and valuable, but he wanted to
give them a start, SO he bought out a
bag Of money and gave each one a
hundred dollars. "The brothers grabbed
1or it," said JEFF, in telling about it,
"but don't want to take it, because
l don't know what to do with it. My
father cautioned us all not to spend it,
but to loan it out and get the interest,
and by and by we would have enough
to buy ourselves. So took the money
and the man who owned me loaned it
out, all but ten dollars in silver.
thought I'd like to keep that to jingle.
That's all ever saw of the money.
He offered many times to give it to
me, but l didn't want it, and then
when the war broke out, of course
everything went" ~ ahr.
In 1862 JEFF and three other young
colored men of the town took horses
one night and came into Iowa, their
rebel owners having gone to st. Louis.
At Bedford they we're advised to 60
to Des Moines, SO here they came, at
time when only three other colorea
men lived in the town. These refugee
slaves were great curiosities in the lit
tie town then. For year JEFF worked
in a hotel for man named Whitney,
On a farm, and odd jobs. Then he
began his twenty-one years service
with the family of the late Wesley
Redhead. then living in a little house
On West Locust street, just east OF
fourth. When he went to the family
there were no children, and when he
left, the oldest son was a voter. he
was the confidential man OF the fam
lily, trusted by all of it's members with
important duties; he brought up the
children; he had charge of other men
working for Mr.. Redhead, and he was
q trusted man always. He married
and had two sons, but his wife died
thirty years ago. In 1885 he went to
California and spent nearly two years
with his brother. ..ta ~
All this time jeff was making use
of his opportunl --es. saving and eau
tiously investing. He says that If he
had been an educated man, he would
either be very wealthy or he would be
in the penitentiary! He saw oppor'
tunities for educated men that were
beyond him, and had to he satisfied
with going slower, but he was always
sure. SO now he is the richest colored
man in Des Moines.

COLORED PERFORMERS OF
- TODAY.

TODAY.
1t is quite interesting for one now
adays to look over the vaudeville bills
OF our leading play houses. Hardly
one Of them but what you won't find
a colored act down on each program.
Such first-clasS houses as the Keith s
I-Proctors (Orpheim circuit), Kohl
& Castle houses and in fact many
others all play colored acts. Strange
to say but quite true that in eight
cases out of every ten the colored act
will be the hit of the bill.
We also have few acts that have
been the head liners at these houses,
being billed up over all the white acts,
namely such acts as Cole & johnson,
Williams & Walker, Earnest Hogan,
and johnson Dean. These to my per-
sonal knowledge have top the bill
at Keith's fine houses.
TRAVELLING COMPANIES.
AS for travelling companies they are
not so numerous nowadays as in the
past, although we have some few yet.
The leaders Of them all are the VIII.
liams & Walker show. This company
stands alone by itself for department
both on and off the stage. Such shows
as the Williams & Walker are credit
to our race.
The Black Patti company at one
time played the good house but Of
late we don't hear so much Of them.
MINSTRELS. %
Among the minstrels Is where most
of our male artists got their start.
The famous Richard & Pringle's
minstrels, the show that the famous
Billy Kersards remained with for
nearly 20 years. This company is one
of the oldest organizations. We have
today minstrels to an extent are like
the circus. Once seen always seen.
Consequently those who have left the
minstrel ranks and gone In search OF
higher honors must certainly be given
credit for so doing. r.. > r
There is very little elevation to be
had in some of our so-called shows.
for they are of the what's known to
show people as the "Tinkering class"
g.. ~. VAUDEVILLE.
+ Some people say that on hearing of
the success our colored performers
that have worked up to high salaries
in vaudeville that it's case of luck
with them. cannot agree with them,
for how we'll can remember back
some years ago soon after the closing
of the once famous Creole show.
How Charlie Johnson of Johnson &
Dean used to hustle around with his
photographs under his arm down town
amongst the vaudeville managers,
showing them his act and trying to
get put on in some theater so they
could get line on his act. Now look
at him today. Positively the highest
salaried sketch artist we have among
us. ,?.- >,'..
