SHELTON BROOKS.

The one-time great comedian and
big favorite around Chicago and
other eastern cities, has gone into the
cafe business. 1t is reported that he
has opened the swellest colored res
taurant in the country at 2940 State
street, Chicago, the Ell Plasso cafe.
1t is rumored the cause of Mr.. Brooks
going into the cafe business was be-
cause he had been refused the small
salary of $500 per week for his act
and he got mad and went into bust
ness. Well, he is to be wished all the
luck and success in the world, as he
is man who wants what he wants,
and will come very near getting 1t.

FOURTEEN CLERKS lin DENVER
POSTOFFiCE.

1t is a matter worth attention that
there are fourteen colored clerks en-
ployed by the Denver postoffice. Of
these. twelve are regular and two
still substitutes. Chas. Gaskikns and
VanNess Johnson. One, walter Chap
man, still remains assistant superin-
tendent of the Highlands station de-
spite changes made in the Office. The
appointment of the two substitutes
recently is the best answer to the ru-
NOR that was abroad that no more
appointments of colored clerks would
be made because of the large number
already employed.

nation. l repeat that interest, pecun-

not predicate my opinion on the ana
tomical discoveries of DR.. Mitchell,

dren of Ham and, according to the
Bible, they are doomed to be the SER

yinced from my own observation, and
have had a pretty good opportunity
to observe, for was two years a mis-
sionary in the slave-holding states for
a Massachusetts Baptist association,
that the blacks are altogether inferior
to the whites. They are, assure you,
low minded and beastly In their pro-
pensities. They desire nothing but
to eat, drink, fiddle, laugh, sleep and
dance. For my part l regard them as
a mongrel species, half man and half

While Mr.. Leland was making these
remarks, could not avoid the refIec.

OBITUARY.

Richard Earl Ely, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. B. T. Ely, was born in Fairfax,
Atkinson county, Missouri, January
Bird. 1891. Died at the home of his
parents in Wagner, South Dakota,
March 10Th, 1911. Aged 20 years, 2
months, and 16 days.
In the life of this young man, cut
short by the ruthless hand of death,
there was something remarkable. AS
soon as his mental powers hogan to de-
velope he manifested wonderful natural
~t,lents. He graduated in The Fairfax
High school in 1908, at the early age
Of seventeen years. His mind was
then, ana even before that, directed
to ward the science of electricity prac-
t cally applied. Here in Fairfax he
constructed unaided except by his own
natural application, a rude continuance
for wireless telegraphy. His father
having moved to Wagner, South Da-
kota, Earl joined him there in March
1910, the remainder of the family
folio wing afterwards. Here he took
a position in a large Implement house,
associated especially with his father in
| the erection of windmills. But here
| every leisure moment of his time was
devoted to the study of electricity aid
to some means of sending and receiv-
ing messages without the ordinary use
| of wires. In this his success was re-
markable. At the time of his death
he had across his fathers lots in Wag-
ner a continuance TOR wireless tele-
graphy that was almost perfect, And
had his life been spared there is rea-
son to believe that his highest aspira-
tions in this direction would have been
realized.
A friend said of Earl that since he
had been in Wagner there was no i'm
moral stain upon his character, his
life would put to shame many who
made louder professions than he did.
Here in Fairfax where he was born
and lived nineteen years of his short
life many will testify to his genial
natur,, his kindly disposition and his
strict integrity. His employers at
Wagner spoke of in the highest terms
of his life there, and especially of his
devotion to their interests trait of
character so seldom found in these
later days.
Earl was ambitious to excel. He
had purpose of life worthy of the
highest commentator, but the Sover-
eign Ruler over all had His purposes +;
and the former must gi-e way to the
latter, being founded on this wisdom
and benevolence.. So through the in
~strumentality of a diseased life, Ear
was called to pass to the life beyond.
What the purposes of the Father were
with regard to him in that state we dc
not know, suffice to say, they are bas
ed upon justice, righteousness ane
love.
Earl's burial took place In Wagner.
The cemetery is IN a high rollins
prairie. There his boy sleeps un
disturbed by friend or foe, in tn
bosom of mother earth. In th
trainers time it shall be awakened n
longer a natural but a spiritual body.
