Eva P Shontz of New York, sister
of Theodore P. Shontz, the railroad
magnate, and herself one of the rich
est of american women, who came
from the East in her brothers private
car to pay a tribute to the hero of
Harper's Ferry. Ex.Gov. John P. St.
John of Kansas, Lieut-Gov. Hopkins,
DR.. j. H. Jones, eX-president of Will
berforce university, and others of ma
tional reputation who in turn made
remarks in honor of our dead hero
Miss Shontz talked at length on
the history and significance of the
American flag and paid glowing trib
ute to John Brown.
Il love Kansas and her people" she
said with vigor. Il love her spirit,
the spirit which dominated old John
Brown. | love her because she starts
things. 1t was Kansas, more than any
other community that actually started
the movement which resulted in the
abolition of slavery, and it is Kansas,
who is showing to the world that peo-
pie can get along without strong
drink, even for mechanical, medici-
nal or scientific purposes. 1t is worth
coming across half the continent to
just be in Kansas and meet her peo-
ple.'
DR.. Jones in an eloquent address
cited the early history OF Kansas, her
fights with the slave-traders and the
efforts of John Brown to make Kan
sas free.
The remarks by eX-Gov. St John
the eighth governor of Kansas, were
much appreciated. He is and has al
ways been loyal and true friend to
the Negro, which was shown in the
early exodus of Negroes to Kansas
when he, as governor, after being ap-
pealed to by white people, refused to
do any act which would discriminate
between them and any other law-abid
ing citizens who might seek to better
their conditions by coming to free
Kansas. He was also indicted by the
grand jury for feeding and caring for
Negro children.
At the proper time, the six little
children drew the veil which covered
the imposing figure of John Brown,
carved from Italian marble by the
of $4,000, which amount was collected
throughout the country from Negroes
only. The movement being started
by the late Bishop Grant and carried
Cut by his successor, Bishop H. B.
Parks of Chicago.

GOVERNOR OODIE
IS IN FAVOR Of
STATE HIGHWAY
STATES CHIEF EXECUTIVE Is
\ STRONG ADVOCATE OF
GOOD HIGHWAYS.

RENO, April 14.-Governor Tas-
ker L. eddie who was in attend
ance upon the Washoe county board
of commissioners yesterday, stated
that he would do his utmost to
promote a good roads movement
within the state and would ask for
the cooperation of all the counties
to accomplish such a project
Nevada needs a state thorough
fare, said the governor while dis
cussing the merits of the meas
ure that passed the last legislature,
providing for the employment of
convicts on the county roads. Many
of the eastern states have construct
ed roads in recent years that are
adaptable for extended automobile
trips, and if Nevada falls in line
and constructs a road from the
Utah border to the California line,
it will be the means of attracting
the attention of parties who are
DESTROYS of making transeontinental
trips"
Governor eddie stated that many
demands had been made for the
reward offered by the state for
the capture of the murders of the
four cattlemen in Northern Washoe
county, and that the matter would
be settled shortly. The governor
will probably refer the entire mat
ter to a board in order that
satisfactory adjustment may be
reached.
Publicity Commissions Norcross
is preparing a set of rules to gov
ern the manner in which business
will be transacted in the new bu-
reau of publicity, irrigation and
agriculture, said Governor eddie,
and before long this commission
will be in a position whereby re-
suits may be attained that will be
for the benefit of the entire state.
At the present time everything con-
cerned with the office is implicated,
and when everything is worked out
to point where setbacks can be
expected the commission will start
to follow the new legislative act
in earnest"
