The Negro race dosen't ask social
equality nor any thing of that kind
but by the God of our fathers we
demand equal and exact civil and
manhood rights. For this we will
ever contend, no more and no less.

Mrs. Eva R. Green, the teacher
of Lone Star school, while returning
home one evening last week her
horse ran away with her and badly
wrecked the buggy. Mrs. Green
was thrown out of the buggy but
received no serious injuries.
Girls, God bless'em, have their
peculiarties, when they are little
they won't even go into the parlor
at night without a light, because
'there might be a man in there.
When they grow older they won t
have a light because there is a man
i i there four or five nights a week.
Queer, isn't it?
William H. Page.
Syracuse (Neb.) Journal.
William H. Page, one of the old-
est settlers in this part of the state,
died early Monday morning at the
home of his son W. E. Page. He
was boin in Bath, Maine, March 4,
1811 and lived to the advanced age
of ninty four years, eleven months,
and eight days.
Almcst a century was spanned
by his life. Events which to most
are matters of history, were to him
personal experiences which his vig-
orous memory retained to the last.
In the stirring times of anti-slavery
agitation he made the long journey
to Kansas taking active part in the
struggle which saved that state to
the Union. When the civil war
broke out he was already past the
age to be accepted for active ser-
vice and was rejected, much to his
disappointment.
More than half his life was pass-
ed in his native state. In 1860 he
moved his family to Michigan and
then to Illinois where he remained
until 1867 when he journeyed over-
land to Nebraska, taking up home-
stead land near Nursery Hill.
He was one of th: first residents
of the new town of Syracuse which
has ever since been his "home. Po-
litically, he was an old time whig
until the formation of the republican
party. Mr. Page was a life long
member of the Baptist church, and
when past 90 years of age, tarned
and presented a be utiful commun-
ion service to the new church in
this village of which hi was hon
orary deacon.
In early life he married Eliza-
beth Stecns, of Maine., who dud in
1862. To them were born six
children all of whom survive him.
For Mr. P ige, death had no terrors,
he had kept the faith," which was
the text chosan by his pastor for
the funeral address. Foryeais he
had expected the summons and when
the change came it was but an en-
trance into life.
Thj funeral was held at the res-
idence of his son W. E. Page, on
Tuesday at 2 :30, Rev. J. D. Brady
conducting the services. Mrs.
Keithly sang, "Oh! Eyes that are
Weary and Passing Out of the
Shadow." The body was laid to
rest in Park Hill cemetary.
William H. Page was the father
of G. Z. Page, of this place, and
was known to several in this vicinity.
It Is A Fact
that cne had as well hope to enter
heaven by copying the Apostles
Creed, to become an as'ronomer by
gazing at the moon and writing its
name, to develop into an expert
farmer by reading agriculture books
and repeating the words "Gee"' and
"Haw," or to grow i°to a Jay Gould
by copying bucket shop reports, as
to expect to become a practical
bookkeeper and business man by
reading and copying theoretical
text books, as is d jne in most schools-
Ask your merchant, ask any bus-
ness man, and you will find that
such training only builds the skele-
ton, the empty forms. The Byrne
Practical Bookkeeping and Business
Training, of which the Capital City
Business College ol Guthrie, Okla.,
has the exclusive control in this sec-
tion, is a system of "Learn to do by
doing," actual business from start
to finish. Students buy and sell
gocds, discount notes, draw drafts,
write up deeds and mortgages, car-
ry on regular banking business; in
fact our school room is a miniature
city, carrying on the various lines
of business under the latest and
most improved business methods.
No competitor criticises the Byrne
Practical; n"*ne dare do so, for
everyone knows that it gives a
knowledge of business as well as
how to record it. To tackle the
system that makes one a business
man, not merely a memorizer of
forms, that develops thinkers not
machines, and that also gives full
ability to record transactions intel-
ligently and well, would brand one
as a fogy. The Byrne Practical
Booktceeping is a land mark in bus-
uess progress and as far ahead of
the ordinary as the Byrne Simpli-
fied Shorthand is ahead of the Pit-
manic and other rule burdeded sys-
tems.

ern method of teaching bookkeeping
and business training, also short-

Life A Century Ago.
One hundred years a^o a man
could not take a ride on a sttan-
boat.
He could not send a telegrair.
He couldn't talk through the tel-
ephone.
He could not call a stenographer
to dictate a letter.
He had never heard of the germ
theory or worried over bacili and
aacteria.
He never heard a phonograph
talk or saw kinetoscope turn cut a
prize fight.
He never looked through a Web-
ster's unabridged dictionary with
the aid of a Roentgen ray.
He had never seen his wife use
a sew ng machine.
He had never taken a ride in an
elevate r.
He had never struck a match.
He wouldn't take an anesthetic
and have a leg cut witho.t feeling it.
He had never seen a reaper or a
self bind ing harvester.
He had never crossed an iron
bridge
The apple is such a common fruit,
says an exchange, that few are fa-
miliar with its remarkable efficacious
properties. Everybody ought to
know that the very best thing they
can do is to eat apples just before
retiring for the night. The apple
is an excellent brain food, because
it has more phosphoric acid in easi-
ly digested shape than any other
vegetable known. It excites the
action of the liver, promotes sound
and healthy sleep, and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth. This is not
all. The apple agglutinates the
surplus acids of the stomach, helps
the kidney secretions and is one of
the best preventatives known of the
diseases of the throat.
The way to a man's heart is
through his stomach and to his reas-
on through his pocket.
