A PLEA FOR CHILDREN.
BY Albreta Moore-Smith.

The holiday season is at hand.
Friend and foe, alike, greet each other
with joy and goodwill The world is
happy. Christmas, with is Peace on
earth, goodwill towards men" spirit,
has made the whole world kin.
The full meaning OF the Masters
command: Feed my lambs comes
home to us with unusual force, on &C
count Of the many worthy demands
that have been made upon the purse
strings Of those who are willing. yet
are financially unable to contribute
much towards the happiness of their
less fortunate beings.
The true philanthropist-she whose
heart is filed with love, hope
and charity for all men-could use
the wealth Of a Carnegie in carrying
happiness and goodwill to many
cherries hearths.
Every day of the week every week
" me month, and every month OF the
year, the conscientious social worker
is friend, philanthropist, physician,
preacher and teacher to hundreds of
distressed families. Yet, she halls
with delight, the grave responsible
ties incumbent upon her position,
when compared with the fact-that
for one day-Christmas, every child,
under her care expects her to be his
Santa Claus, magnanimous and grand.
For many years We have seen the
disappointment that comes to the lit
tie folk, who asked for but little. and
who received less.
This year, however, We welcome St.
Nicholas coming with delight
Through the generosity of the Tri-
bune's Good Fellow" and other al
he'd interests, every readable, deserv-
ing child has been remembered"
After Christmas, the rejoicing and
feasting shall have ceased. What
then?

The greatest subject before the
world today is the child problem. It
is perplexing, baffling, and sometimes
unsatisfactory to amateurs and au-
thorities alike. Yet all are alive to
the imperative needs Of the hour.
The Anticipated idea that, only those
who have enjoyed the blessing of
motherhood have a right to instruct
parents as to the care and proper
training of children, has been anhil-
ated along with other non-progressiVe
thoughts regarding this subject.
Today, some of the worlds greatest
authorize on child-life are unmarried
men and women whose right to this
distinction is incontrovertible. Our
own Jane Adams is a worthy exem-

NAMED on the farm until the age Of
Is, when he came to Chicago, sought
employment with the Adams & West
lake Mfg. Co.. but remained with them
only a short time. when he took en-
pIoyment with H. NJ. Kipsley, the ca
terer. where he was employed from
1877 until 1890. When H. NJ Kinsley
moved to Adams Street in his new
building, Major Buckner took the man
agement Of Werner & Emerson who
succeeded H. NJ. Kinsley at &C Wash
ington Street, in the catering bust
ness. He remained with this firm I'M
til they dissolved partnership, then
took employment as manager for
Charles H. Smiley, 76 E. 22nd Street,
until 1897 when he was appointed De-
putty Collector of Internal Revenue by
the late President William Mckinley,
where he is still employed.
From 1885 to the present time Ma

Dr.. Edward s. Miller, who by his
upright and honorable conduct IN al
tie affairs of life, has made a lasting
name for himself in Chicago and
throughout the country, was born Aug
ust 81, 1883 on a farm in Garrard
county, Ky. In the course of time he
attended the public schools of Dan
vile, after rounding out his education
in its schools he removed to Mead
vile, Pa, in 1880. and further laid a
strong foundation in the way of re-
ceiving a good education by taking a
two year literary course in the best
college in Meadville, and while doing
so he supported himself by working
around at odd jobs.
From Meadville, DR.. Miller came &c
Chicago, to pursue the study of medi,
cine and on arriving in this city he
entered the Chicago Homeopathic
Medical College, graduating from i
with high honors in 1895. In 1897, he
took a postgraduate in the Harvey
Medical College. Within a very short
time after finishing his medical edu

Beauregard F. Moseley


Beauregard F. Moseley, is so we'll
known throughout Chicago that he
needs no introduction to the thousands
of readers of The Broad AK; he came
into this world in the State of Geor-
gia. He received his education in the
public schools of his native State,
where he afterwards taught school.
After severing his connection with the
schools he entered politics, holding
several positions of trust under the ma
tional government at New Orleans, La
In the course of time he decided to
cast his lot in the northern section of
the country, and he removed with his
family to Montreal, Canada, but it was
too cold that far north for his warm
Southern blood and early in the OPS
lie came to this city to reside.
Soon after settling IN Chicago h.
engaged in the newspaper business and
for several years he very successfully
ran THE Chicago Republic" and with
his little newspaper he soon became a
strong factor in politics in Englewood
and its other affairs. In the meantime
he began the study of law, being ad-
mitted to the bar in 1896 and the great
est success has crowned his efforts in
the field of law.
Since his admission to The bar he ha:
been a hard student. His finely furn-
ished law Office at 622I South Halsted
street, Phone Wentworth 2Is, are filled
with law books, having several thou
sand dollars invested in them, and il
is safe to say that he has more clients
among white persons than any other
.Afro-American lawyer in Chicago.
By strict attention to business and
ever watchful of the interest of his
clients, he has met with phenomenal
success in the world of law.
He knows how to look out for mum
Der one and the result of being en-
dowed with sufficient wisdom to dc
this he resides with his good wife Mrs
Moseley and their two interesting sons,
who are as bright as a new silver dol
lar, Burton H. and Beaureard F. Nose
ley, Jr. in an elegant stone front
building of their own at Gas Sanga-
mon street.
Mr.. Moseley is prominently connected
with the Grand United Order of Odd
Fellows. He is a member of the Apo
mattox Club, and is closing his year as
its president. Under his wise admin
stration, the club has bought a home
in the 54th block on Wabash avenue,
and he can never be commended too
highly for putting it on a solid foun-
dalton, for he accomplished more in
that direction, in the short space of
one year, than all of its former presi-
dents combined.
He is also secretary and treasurer.
of the Leland Giants Base Ball and
Amusement Association, and recently.
he perfected arrangements, whereby,

Committee, he revised the entire Mill
tary Code Of the State.
In August 1895, upon the outbreak
Of the riot at Spring Valley, he again
demonstrated his race loyalty and his
devotion to law and order, and as one
of the highest officers Of the State,
he proceeded unheralded to Spring
Valley and there in short measure
brought harmony out Of chaos. He at
once housed and cared for the Colored
people who had been run out OF
Spring Valley and without home and
shelter; he provided for them in Sea-
tonville, miles from Spring Valley,
food, shelter and raiment, until such
a time as he could adjust matters
with the authorities Of Bureau County
to have the people return, .(those who
were able to do SOL to their homes in
Spring Valley and work in the mines.
Not being satisfied with merely the
adjustment Of the difficulty as regards
to work, he at once procured warrants
for all those who took part in the
riot and caused the loss OF property
and life Of the Colored people, and
with the Sheriff Of Bureau County, he
had arrested more than $50 Of the
miners, &c Of whom he had convicted
and placed in Jail sentences in Bureau
County; 8 were sent to the peniten-
tiary for indeterminate sentences; Z
young boys were sent to Pontiac Re-
form School and Mayor Delmargo Of
the city was fined $1,000. and months
in Bureau County Jail, since which
time no semblance of racial disturb
ance has occurred in Bureau County.
On the contrary, the Colored people
have taken their place with the repre-
sentative men and women Of Spring
Valley and Seatonville. The Board OF
School Directors have employed a
full corps Of Colored school teachers
both in the grammar and high schools.
The citizens Of Spring Valley have
elected two Colored men as Town
Clerk and three Colored men have
served as Aldermen Of the city, being
/ elected largely by white votes.
Major Buckner. is a high priest of
the Grand United Order Of Odd Eel
loves, and he can preach a funeral
or lay sermon as well as any preach
er in town. He Is a bachelor and main
tains finely appointed bachelor quart
ers at 1888 Dearborn street.
He possesses one Of the finest and
most extensive collections Of rare and
valuable books to be found in the city.
His heart beats in sympathy with
everything that Is grand and enobling.
and contributes much to poor people
and to charity, regardless of their col
or and nationality and performs many
other good deeds for those who meet

HUGHES CHALLENGED
 BY FIVE MOTORISTS
THEY ARE AFTER THE ENG-
 LlSHMAN'S SCALP
Want to Race Hughes OldsmobiIe
 For Anything From S1 to $500.

From all outward appearances it is up to Hughie Hughes" There are just five motorists who are after his scalp. There are just five cars in Phoenix, the owners of which are confident can beat Hughes new Oldsmobile in any kind of a race from one mile to a hundred, and for any sum from one dollar to $500. In poker parlance it's Hughie's time to "call!'
 Sometime ago. just before the ar rival of the Oldsmobile, there was printed in The Republican an inter view with Hughes, in which he stated that the Oldsmobile which, was then on the way, could go just little bit faster than any car in Phoenix under fifty horse power.
 Since the publication of this in terview the motorists who take af- filial pride in their machines, have been laying low waiting to see what this new car would be like. While the Oldsmobile was being demonstrated on the streets, the au- tomobile men were using the oppOr- tunity to make comparisons be- tween it and their own cars. Yes terday, the automobile editor of The Republican, received five seperate challenges to race against Hughes car Three of them were distinct and to the point. They are as fol- lows:
 A race on the fair ground track to determine which car can reel off the largest number of miles in one hour or any number of hours up to A. The wager on this race is between $1 and S100.
 The second is a race over any suitable route near Phoenix, and for any distance from one mile to 100 miles. The same wager will be placed on this race.
 The third challenge was issued by the owner of a well known touring car and is for any distance between five and ten miles. The wager is from $1 to $500.
 Until one or more of the chal- lenges are accepted, the challengers do not wish their names to appear. In the meanwhile, the five motor ists, the public at large, and the automobile editor of The Republi- can are anxiously waiting to see what Hughie will do about 1t.

 Cotton is not the only crop in which MT Loftus is interested, as he is also concerned in raising rhubarb on a large scale, the cultivation of citrus fruits and various other crops adapted to that section.

Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrn being a con- stitutional disease, requires a constitu- tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the founda- ton of the disease, and giving the pa tient strength by building up the con- stitution and assisting nature in doing it's work The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure.
