Noted Negro Lecturer.

Rev. w. Sampson Brooks will lee
ture at the Methodist church on Jan.
10th, as an extra number of the Citi-
zens Lecture course. Rev. Brooks is
typical negro, born of slave parents,
educated in America, toured the Brit
ish Isles and Continental Europe,
Northern Africa, Turkey, Holy Land
and Egypt. He is brilliant, logical,
eloquent, magnetic, full of pathos and
humor. He gained an international
reputation by his serio comic lecture
OF "What a Black Man Saw in White
Mans Country" and his negro CO.
operative speech at Jerusalem at the
Worlds Fourth Sunday School Con-
vention. He speaks without notes.
All those who heard Senator Till
man present his side of the negro
question, should hear Rev. Brooks
present the other side. No one who
is at all interested in the great race
question that confronts the American
people should miss hearing Rev.
Brooks.

STATEMENT BY HEARST.
VIII Never Again Be Candidate for
Office.

New York, Jan. 4-W1lliam r.
Hearst reiterated at a meeting of the
city committee of the independence
league that he. will never again be a
candidate for Office. Mr Hearst said:
Il myself am not and will not be
again candidate for any Office, but |
am as much interested as ever-and
even more interested than ever-in
the promotion of the principles of the
independence league. 1t seems to me
that we can all feel satisfaction upon
what has been and is being accom-
plished. And it seems to me that as
patriotic citizens we need not care
particularly what individuals put
those principles and reforms into eff
feet as long as they are actually being
accomplished for the benefit of our
fellow citizens. q
s.I believe that the league will go
forward to further and greater achieve
ments and l heartily offer you, my
friends, my best services as fellow
worker to those ends

Topeka, Kan, Jan. At is still Inn
tnpssible to say exactly how many
(lstlFsons perished in the Rock Island
sflssSt wreck lit Al a lima SSan. as a aliilsaa
Der of bodies of Mexicans were conn
pletely destroyed by the burning of
the smoking car. The conductor says
there were seventy-six Mexicans on
the train and it is feared that forty
four of these were killed, together
with four passengers, all men, and a
negro train porter, making the total
dead forty-nine.
The Rock Island officials insist that
but thirty persons were killed and
thirty others seriously injured in the
collision. The officials declare that
the statement attributed to the con-
ductor of train No. 29 that he had
tickets for seventy-six Mexicans is a
mistake. They assert that at the most
there were not over thirty-five Mex
leans aboard the train.
There are twelve seriously injured
in the hospital here Some of these
may die Most of the slightly injured
have already left the CITY,
The coroner's inquest over the vic
Tins has begun at Alma and John
Lynes, the boy telegraph operator who
is blamed for the collision, was the
principal witness.
The remains of twelve charred and
burned bodies, Or what was left of
them, were brought into Alma and
these were presented to the jury. Most
of them are the remains of Mexicans,
but it is Impossible to Identify any of
them They will be b,iried at Alma
after they have been viewed by the

PRESIDENTS ACT ILLEGAL.
Opinion of Counsel for Discharged Ne.
gro Soldiers.

New York, Jan. 4-Colonel Alexan-
der S Bacon of counsel for the Afro
American council in the case of the
dismissal by President Roosevelt of
the battalion of negro troops for the
Brownsville (Tex.) affair, has made
pubic his opinion. His report will be
sent to Senator Foraker and the mem
bers of the senate and house commit
tees on military affairs
After reviewing the evidence pre-
sented in the presidents message
Colonel Bacon declares that the negro
soldiers discharge without honor"
was Illegal and would not be upheld
by the courts if brought before them
under writ of certiorari Colonel
Bacon contends that the idea prey
alent that the president, as comman-
der-in-chief of the army, can infiict
punishment within his discretion is
one, because under the Eng
lish and American constitutions no
person texcept minors, prisoners, etc.)
can be punished in time of peace ex-
cept by the judgment of court. The
dismissal of the negro SOL
diers, he says, was intended to be a
punishment and was punishment.

Arthur Olson

Yesterday occurred the death of a
young man whose struggle for life has
been watched with sympathetic inter-
est by the people of Morris and Cho-
kio since he was first taken sick about
the middle OF last month.
Arthur Olson died at the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Aleck Olson
of Chokio, early yesterday morning,
in Morris on Dec. 18th with spinal
meningitis, and his struggle for life
excited the sympathy of all especially
after he was able to withstand the dis
ease for some time, and gave hope
that he might be able to recover.
On last Monday, he was removed
to the home of his parents at Chokio,
but since then he has been in a coma
tose condition much of the time, and
yeste rday morning breathed his last
Arthur Olson was young man of
promise, faithful in the discharge of
his duties. He had been employed by
H. B. Lund for some time and, it will
be remembered, was taken sick with
the fatal disease at the same time as
was Otto Kerl.
His parents have the kindliest sym
pathy ofStie people, of Morris and
Chokio in their great sorrow.
The funeral will be held on Monday.
