HANGED FIVE TINES.
story of the Victim of an Attempted
LynchinE ut Polk city. Ia, from
Which He Escapes With His Life.

nc EscdptS w lth
A reporter of the Des Moines Regis.
ter called on De Laire-the principal of
the Polk City matinee-at the city Jail
and asked him regarding the lynching
matinee, week before last. He told
story that was interesting enough, and
if he can prove what he asserts to be
true there will be another interesting
time In court He stated how he was
arrested by Mr.. Terrell, who, he thinks,
had no right to arrest him, not being a
peace officer nor a man with the neces-
sary authority. He says he was kept
at Terril's house until late in the day.
and in the evening Mr.. Terrell procur-
ed man of Polk City to assist in keep
ing De Laire under guard. About 9
o'clock this party went down the road,
and to De Laire he appeared to be
looking for, or expecting some one.
De Lalre noticed a man coming up
the road with mask over his face.
This, OF course was suspicious, and when
he saw eleven of them follow he knew
at once that there was something to
happen. In the meantime. aowever,
he inferred that they had arrested him
on suspicion of having been
in completely with the murderers
of K. w. Stubes, and ne, of course,
knew what an Infatuated mob might do.
He says they took him by force, put
sack over his mead and dragged him
about quarter of mile along the
wagon road to grove of trees, and up
on reaching a tree with limb sufi-
GENTLY low, they placed rope over the
limb and hauled him up. When he fell
he was insensible. On coming to, they
asked him what he knew of the Saubb's.
murder, and he denied any knowledge
Of II. They drew him up again, and
again he protested ignorance. In this
way he was pulled up by the rope four
times, each time he protested innocence
Of the murder. The fifth time he was
drawn up and let down he told the as
sumed story which was published in
the Register at the time. He made
this up in order to save his life, and
probably it did, for the desire of the
lynchers to only scare would likely have
resulted in his death if they had made
another attempt. The story was en-
tirely assumed and it has since been
learned that on the night ofthe murder
De Lure and other parties mentioned
were all in Charlton. De Laire is con-
tident he knows the parties who at
tempted to lynch him, and states that
he kas good proof of their identity.

selfcontrol about him and au ability to
bow that many of our best bred men
aiight envy. There is an utter absence
OF awkwardness or boorishness among
them. There are no barns, and one
looks IN vain to see pigs buried in the
clean straw, or the meek sheep in
groups, or cattle burrowing III great
straw-stacks. No patient oxen are
seen, with soft brown eyes and sinewy
necks, unconscious of their strength.
Nor does the traveller ever hear the
music of the tactical torrent in the milk
maids pail. Their quiet, contented,
palnstaklng industry Is worthy of cur
imitation. The almost universal ab-
sence of poverty, and the manifest
friendship and equality among them is
pleasant to contemplate.
But the man who has seen vast fields
OF waving grain. and trees laden with
fruit, who has heard the click of q
reaper and the whirr of tkrashing ma
chine, who has lived in the average
American farm house, would not be
content with half-acre wheat field, to
do his blowing with a hoe, pound out
his grain with bamboo fail, and sit
on his heels and eat boiled rice and
picked radish with chop-sticks, and
carry the fruitage of his toll to market
IN bamboo basket or on pack-horse
shod with straw shoes.

The Panic At Alexandria.

On the news reaching Alexaudria a
scene Of the widest panic took place.
Men and women rushed to the DO lrse,
the hotels, and other places where tel
egrams were posted, and fought for the
front places to read the news. Calm
and sedate merchants, who have with
stood the sudden and rainous fall Of
Egyptian stock without winking or
turning hair, rushed home and told
their wives to pack up themselves and
children AMI get on board steamers
bound for Europe. Every vessel in
the harbor WAS crowded, from the state
ly argosles of the PeninSular and ORR
entail, and the Messageries Maritimes.
to the hogshaped collier. The demon
panic reigned supreme. So great was
the scare that an English lady, Mrs.
Allen, who had recently been confined,
although III very weak and critical
state and quite unfit to be moved or al
armed, WAS carried on board a steamer
and sent off with her infant. Ladies
wrote each other the mot alarming
letters, calling meetings to consult for
the common safety. and yet these good
people if they had only calmly thought
out their POSITION could not have fail
ed to see the extreme unlikelihood of
the much feared soldiers really embark
ing on career of rapine ami pilage.
Alexandria has a population Of near
~ 100000, the adult male European
population numbering some sixty
thousand, all armed ana accustomed to
use arms. No Egyptian troops could
have stood an hour before the Europe
ans, ami yet the attitude of the
Europeans in Alexandria and Cairo
presented as great u contrast as the at
titude of people in sinking and floating
ships.
In the height of the crisis, though
Isolated from all exterior assistance, the
Europeans of CIiro, who knew that at
any hour the railroad leading to safety
might be cut, promenaded as usual in
the gardens of the E3bekich while a
military band played selections from
"Mascotte" and "Mousquetaires au
couyen'." Ladies' in the most bewitching
toilets slipped their "cafe Ia Turque"
under the shade of the India-rubber
trees as composedly as usual. The
truth was that there was not enough
women in Cairo to scare each other.
while in Alexandria, which is full of the
fair sex, the least alarming rumor got
magnltied into something truly terrible
during its passage from different ng-
ues to ears.

WASTED POLITENESS.
Treated Like Lady She Acts Lii a
Beast.
Country Gentleman.

A man came into the office on
Thursday with black eye, strip of
court plaster across his cheek, one arm
in a sling, and, as he leaned on
crutch and wiped the perspiration
away from around lump on his fore
head with red cotton handkerchief,
he asked if the editor was in. Being
answered in the affirmative, he said:
"Wel, | want to stop my paper"
and he sat down on the edge of a chair

Plums by Aid of Poultry and Pigs.

There is No choice hardy fruit that
blossoms and sets fruit more abundant

lusciously delightful to the palate as a
rich, ripe gage. 1t is the first of fruits
that the average owner ola lot thinks of
planting. The curculio is the difficulty
Some are too busy, and some too for
getful, and some too iniolent,,, to jar off,
catch and burn the snea king destroyers
and In many cases the shape or sur
roundings of the tree make this inn
practicable. The planting season for
1882 will continue until late in April.
There Is, therefore, time to plan for
plums. Where there is choice Of stu
