graduating with honors.
After his graduation from the high
school he entered the State university.
where as a student he made good by
the side of some Of the most brilliant
students Of both races. He made many
friends. during his college days.
Having decided on his course in life.
he entered the medical school at How
ard university. Washington, being
eager to get the best training possible.
He graduated in 1890 in class Of
thirty-fve. He was among the fortu-
nate in his class, because he was Sc
lected as an inferno for Freedman's
hospital. This is an honor which
comes only to a few and is a coveted
honor, because it better prepares q
man for practical service. In this ca
pacity he served for one year and
then returned to his home in Atchison
and took the state board examination,
which he passed successfully. His
worth and ability were soon recog-
nized, and he was selected as the
health officer for Atchison county.
1t was In 1908 that he decided to 10.
cate in what is destined to be the
greatest city in Kansas, Wichita. he
came with reputation which he had

part Of the United States.
The term Of Office is only for one
year; hence it was only in keeping
with the rules Of the organization that
DR.. Brown was allowed to retire, and
even then many expressed a desire to
have the rule changed. During the
past year and under his administra-
ton much good has been accomplished

presented handsome token of esteem
by the association at the closing of the

Elsewhere under the title of "A
Great Opportunity" is an offer made
by some capitalist Whitley to buy the
building where the Strand theater is
now located onl West Eighth street,
between Locust and Grand avenue,
The way is by the organization of a
company and buy this property in
stock of $500 per share. We be-
lieve that since the present theaters
segregate and discriminate against us
if we go and even some, have been
informed, do not want our presence
there at all, it is about high time for

Below we are printing a very few
clippings and complimentary mention
of The Bystander as a true tribune
of the colored people in the great
northwest. If we could only give you
a brief idea of some of the struggles
and knocks and hardships to meet and
pay our bills you would then know
more fully how to appreciate a Negro
journal that has lived and never
missed an issue for nearly quarter
of century in the northwest, with
so few colored people to support it.
Therefore you may know these letters
are very encouraging and we do ap-
