SIX tramps crawled out of the stack. their
hair singed, and smoke oozing out of their
collars and places where the clothing was
torn. They upbraided the farmer for his
carelessness, and threatened to sue him for
damages A straw stack burned near Ra-
cine, on Monday night, and human bones
have been found i'm the ashes. Somebody
is short one tramp. The best way TO do
before burning straw stack is to take a
pltchfOrk and run it into the stack all
around, when, if no smothered profanity is
heard, you can conclude the tramps have
gotten into the barn or hog pen.

grade of rear admiral, and the con
strueti0l of two second-rate steel
cruisers, one steel ram and an iron
dispatch boat-aIl to cost not eX-
eeeding $3,50O,0 900. The report
recommends fine transfer of the

properly part Of the treasury and
are largely operated by navy en-
ployes at present and properly
come within its scope of operations.
As a measure of economy, a union
of the naval and marine hospitals
is suggested. The report comments

Dawn N. LEE was hung a week OF
two age in Franklin parish by mob,
simply upon suspicion of having stolen
some hogs and used the meat in his
family. The governor has offered a
reward of $3.50 for the arrest of each
of the mob. This paper has never adj
sised mob law; on the contrary has
always been opposed TO it, but there
are certain crimes which the perpetra-
tors thereof deserve hanging and if not
taken in band by a mob frequently
escape merited punishment by reason
of the laws delays, influential friends
or plenty Of money. But this thing
OF jerking up a man simply upon sus-
pieion of having stolen hogs or any
thing else is an outrage and a disgrace
to the state. We sincerely hope the
perpetrators may be arrested and pun
ished to the full extent of the law.
