EDITORS OBSERVATIONS.

BY John L. Thompson.
Landing in Council Bluffs, just
across the river from Omaha, I shall
speak briefly of the citizens here be-
fore taking up the Omaha disaster.
This little city upon the 'big muddy"
is a thriving city and seems to be
up-to-date with many Of it's buildings
and other commercial interests We
have here about 500 colored people,
with two churches. The A. M. E.,
which is presided over by Rev. J. H.
Garrison, is neat little new building
just completed. The pastor is sue
ceeding nicely. The Baptist church
is doing we'll, but they are at present
without a pastor. Mr.. Chas. Burke
owns a first class restaurant and
rooming house at 1925 West Broad
way. He is a good cook and has a
good trade. Chas. F. Davis, who has
been sick for several months, is the
city pound master. Charles is re-
gaining his health. He owns nice
little house and lot and valuable
truck garden in the outskirts of the
city. Mrs. M. Stewart is still running
her hairdressing parlor at sos First
street. Mrs. Tillie A. Reese is still
running her rooming house and doing
nicely. Mr.. F. c. Walker is still work
ing with the railroad company and

Mr.. G. w. Levert is still running his
boarding house at 1922 Howard street.
Mrs. B. F. Green, formerly Of Ottum-
wa, is doing nicely with her boarding
house. Mr.. J. w. Obee, 251S Lake
street, the undertaken, has built a
splendid undertaking parlor adjacent
to his house and is doing nice busi-
ness. He is fine man to meet and q
thorough race man. The A. M. E.
church is pastored by Rev. w. T. Os-
borne, who was sent here from Seat
tie this conference year. While he is
new man in Omaha, yet he is maxi
ing many friends. c. M. Simmons is
still in the tailoring business and has
a nice trade. Mr.. H. X. Hillon is still
at 1902 Maple street pushing his pat
ent. Most of his factory is located
on his lot. G. w. Woods, formerly Of
this city, brother Of James Woods,
who is we'll known here, is still work.
ing at the same place. He has nice
family and is doing we'll. Hon. H. M.
Singleton has just returned from
Washington, d. c. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Singleton was a can
didate for the legislature at cne time.
He says that the democrats are going
to replace all the important places
now held by negroes and that demo-

DES MONIES NEGRO MASONS
HONOR ST. JOHN THE
BAPTIST.

Perhaps the most impressive St.
Johns Day celebration ever carried
out by the Negro Masons Of Des
Moines was that held last Sunday by
the members of Doric lodge, No. 80,
and North Star lodge, No. 2, at the
Maple Street Baptist church.
Nearly one hundred members of
the two lodges, including fifteen past
masters, one past deputy grand mas
ter, one past grand master and the
present grand master met at the hall
of Doric lodge at 318 East Fifth
street and marched in solemn process
sion to the church, where they were
greeted by vast audience Of the
families and friends of the members
of the order.
Past Grand Master E. T. Banks
acted as master of ceremonies and
after music by the choir and invoca-
ton by Rev. S. Bates, pastor, he in
troduced Atty. J. B. Rush, worshipful
master of North Star lodge, who in
very pleasing manner explained the
object of the celebration, after which
Mr.. Chas. C. Johnson and wife rem
dered a beautiful duet.
The master Of ceremonies then in
troduced Rev. J. H. Reynolds, past
raster &C n,~ic lodge, who delivered
the princiral address, which abound
ed with wholesome advice as well as
religious Instruction to the members
of the craft. E.s.

Our troubles are our own and do
not concern the public in any way,
except wherein the public may be
benefited. In this case, however, the
public, the money saving, piano buy
ing public is vitality concerned.
We must sell off our entire stock
and have only short time in which
to do it. AS time is precious, prices
and terms cannot be taken into con-
sideration.
We have no choice in the matter
and the lease on our present quar-
ters will expire in just five days, and
our new store in the new Hubbell
building at the corner of Ninth and
Walnut streets is far from being COM
pleted. Unforeseen building difficulties
which have faced the contractors for
the past few months have greatly
retarded the progress on the new
structure, which will prevent our
taking possession at the expiration Of
our present lease, at which time we
have been notified by our landlord to
vacate.
Every instrument in our stock must
be closed out quickly and the piano
buyers will reap the benefit of the
radical price reductions.
Now to make doubly sure that
every piano will be taken by the last
day of this month, we have gone over
the stock carefully and have cut the
prices down to the last notch on each
and every instrument.

book just issued from the press. It is

nom de plume name. We have briefly
reviewed copy in our Office. The
author was once a sleeping car porter,
who possessed energy, ability and a
desire to become more than just
George" but to become a cog in the
great American wheel. He settled on
a farm in Dakota and has become we'll
off, although still a young man. The
book is true story, thrilling with
interest and brilliant with thought
that is useful in life. The different
subjects discussed are Spirit Of Pio-
neer, Leaving Home, The Homestead
er, Had Put 2S0 Acres Under Guilt
vation, Where the Negro Fails, The
Battle, The Sacrifice, The Uncrowned
King. These, with many other SUBJ
jects, make this book unique and in
deed interesting. Price, $1.50. The
