Two Brothers Killed by a Mob.

ELDoRA, Iowa, June About 6
clock last evening, as DR.. Underwood
and u. ID. Riteneur were coming through
a heavy strip of timber eight miles north
of here, three masked men appeared at
the roadside and commenced shooting
at them with navy revolvers at short
range. The top buggy in which they
were riding was riddled with bullets.
and the escape of its occupants is won
derful, but they were uninjured save q
few scratches. Riteneur, with remark
able GOODNESS, jumped out and opened
fire on the attacking party with good
effect, wounding one of them and driv-
ing them to the brush. Underwood
held the inquest over the body of Enoch
johnson, who was found dead near
Clifford, last November, and declared
johnson had been murdered and has
done all he could to bring the murder
ers to justice. Both Underwood and
Riteneur testified against the Rains
bargers, who were tried here for the
murder of Johnson. Since then they
have been threatened and warned to
leave the state by members Of the
Rainsbarger gang. To-day the two
Rainsbargers, who had heretofore been
at liberty. were arrested for the shoot
ing done last night. Intense excite
ment prevails throughout the town and
county, and lynching is feared.
LATER. and Vans Ralnsbarrer
were taken from the Jail at Eldora,
Hardin county, at l oclock this morn
ing, by mob of seventy-five masked
men and riddled with bullets, so as 10

of the two Rainsbargers now in the
Marshall county Jail for the murder of
Enoch Johnson, and were arrested yes
terday for an alleged attack on two
citizens prominent in the Rainsbarger
prosecution.

Two years ago the editor of Moore
Rural New Yorker produced a hybrid
grain between wheat and rye, and be-
tween these has effected another cross
that is three fourths rye, but still very
distant from that plant. If the gentle
man could now successfully inter- breed
the watermelon and the Hubbard
squash, so as to give the former the
staying qualities of the latter, and the
latter the delicate flavor of the former,
his fortune would be made. Expert
ments of this kind, however, received a
sad blow and setback when Agricul-
tural Commissioner LeDuc urged farm
ers to raise plenty of snow birds. to lay
sufficient snow to keep wheat from be-
ing winter killed, and the subsequent
decision of his successor, Mr.. Loring,
in deciding that better results were OBJ
tanned from planting two pint cans of
picked salmon than from one quart can.
His judgment was that the hills became
better rooted.

The Dubuque Times says: Capt. Tom
feathers, who has run on the lower
Mississippi for 40 years,is now in Wash
ington, and in an interview with re.
porter makes some startling statements
about the great river. He says the day
of steamboating has gone by. never to
return. The railroads have destroyed
the waterways of the country. The
Mississippi is now being diverted grad
ually into the Atchafalaya river. Each
year more and more of its water runs
into this stream. 1t is only few years,
in his opinion, when the entire Missis-
sippi will be diverted into this channel
of the Atchafalaya and will leave New
Orleans, which is now a seaport, a dry
inland town. He thinks the fate OF
New Orleans is sealed unless something
is done very soon toward correcting
this break of the Mississippi. He open
ly expresses his disbelief in anything
being able to remedy it now. although
he thinks that no harm may be done
perhaps in trying.

Chas. ID. Keep, editor of The Wall
Street News, was arrested for libel on
the complaint of Jay Gould and Russell
Sage. the other day, Keep asserting
that the Western Union telegraph CON-
pany has been for sometime paying
dividends on its stock that has never
been earned, in order to keep up the
price and swindle innocent purchasers.
There is nothing which Sage and Gould
detest so much as lying, and they
doubtless feel that Keep has been in
fringing.

Cuba is in a said col dition. Her

annual expenses of S31, 100000 are
from 81, 900, 900 to Sl0.000.00O greater
than her revenues. Taxes are painfully
exorbitant. the deficit is rapidly increas-
ing, official salaries and the wages of
every species of employee are greatly in
arrears, property is vastly deprecated,
trade and industry are PROSTATE and
dying out, crime is growing and extend

rock, the people are wretched and dis

curbed by the tyrannical and irrespon-
sible soldiery; the condition of affairs
Is about as bad as it can be, and it is
only question of time when the colon
ial fabric on the Gem of the Antilles
must collapse. The furture of the is
land, after that catastrope, is difficult to

Cuba white elephant. yet were much
better to take it at any price than allow
Bismarck or any other strong foreign
potentate to assume control there,
either as the result of purchase or under

strategic position and no first-class
European power could hold the fortress
at Havana without its being a serious
menace to this country, at uncomfort-
ably close quarters.

Col. John S. Mosby, United States
consul at Hong Kong, writes that during
the late Franco-C Chinese troubles he was
offered the command of the Chinese
army, with the privilege of employing
800 American confederates as officers.
Mosby says he declined the offer. A
good many have insinuated that Mosby
was lying and that he never received
this offer, but it appears that when a
Chinese general loses battle the en-
peror invites him to social chat over
the situation, and he usually goes away
leaving his regards and his head be-
hind. We cannot, under the circum-
stances, believe that Mosby has deliber-
ately lied about the matter.

The American Dairyman has the fol-
lowing interesting item to stock raisers:
Mr.. Geo. p. Lord, of Elgin. H., keeps
100 cows on 800 acres of land and has
not used hay for several years. He
thinks fodder corn is much the cheap
est and best, when the fodder is made
properly and well secured, so that each
handful has a rich green color. Mr.
Hoard, in his Dairyman, says he has
seen yield of ten tons of cured fodder
to the acre. This is wonderful yield,
and we always found it, to our taste, as
good as timothy hay for feeding cows,
pound for pound. 1t has also been
quite satisfactorily explained that sweet
or sugar corn does not make as good,
economical, or even as sweet fodder, as
the old horse tooth variety of southern
origin, and who ever saw more than
three tons of good timothy hay growing
to the acre? We never had as good
success in planting late as early. Corn
is semi-tropical plant, and wants
plenty of time, in this climate, to catch
full summers length of sun to come
to its best quality, and lay up all the
sugar and starch that il can accumu-

SPRINGFIELD, III, June 4.-The sem
ate this morning passed the house
Civil-rights bill, which gives colored
people the same rights as whites in
hotels, restaurants, theaters and other
public places. 1t provides that for any
violation the person offending shall pay
not less than S25, nor more than $500,
to the person aggrieved, and shall also
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall pay fine not
to exceed $500. or shall be imprisoned
not more than one year, or both 4
Judgment in favor of the party az
grieved, or punishment upon an indict-
ment, is to be bar to either prosecution
respectively. The bill now goes to the
governor for his signature.

AT the recent session of the Presby-
terrain General Assembly in Cincinnati,
O., the Rev. r. II. Allan, secretary of
the Freedmen's Aid Society, made a
strong speech following the presentation
OF the reports of that society. To Illus
trate his remarks he had hung on the
wall back of the platform map twenty
feet long by twelve feet wide, showing
the ratio of black to white population in
the Southern States. 1t was a very
startling map, and, when explained by
the earnest speaker, made strong inn
preston. Here are few of his signifi-
cant facts: Twenty years ago, at the
close of the war, there were in the
Southern States 3,947,000 colorei peo-
pie and now there are more than
100000. Then there were in Missis-
sippi 100000 negroes, and now CSC, 900.
Then there were in Georgia 154, 900
negroes, now 725,000. Then there were
in South Carolina 100000, and now
more than 100000. Five hundred
colored babies are born in the United
States every day. The colored popula-
lation of the United States doubles every
twenty years; the white population only
once in thirty-fve years. Eight years
will not have passed before the negroes
will be in numerical majority in some
of the Southern States. At the present
rate of increase, in 1885 there will be
SO, 900, 900 white people in the United
States, and 192,o0o,0O0 colored people.
In South Carolina he has bought and
paid for 270,O00 acres of land, which he
cultivates. In the South he pays taxes
on more than S91, 900, 900 ofproperty. He
is editing, printing and publishing LOG
newspapers. And yet of the 1000, 900
colored people of this country more
than 100000 cannot read nor write.

There is class of cranks who delight
in claiming that prohibition, wherever
it has been tried. has proven failure.
The United Presbyterian general assem-
bly,, in session in Topeka, Kas., on June
=, passed resolutions TO the effect that
the assembly was for prohibition and
that prohibitions power for good was
so manifest in that city that this fact
alone justified their position. The dis
senters must, therefore. excuse us if we
prefer to take the word of this religious
assembly to theirs.

Since the Democracy came into power
we receive each month from the Treas
ury department at Washington t1o0
statements of the public debt, where
we only received one before. This in
deed is reform. DR.. johnson has truly
said that the man who causes two pub
lie debt statements to grow where only
one grew before is a public benefactor.
We did not notice it so much then, but
now that we have the added blessing
we wonder how the country ever got
along with only one form of the public
debt statement.

The so-called charges against Auditor
Brown, in Iowa. were brought to the at
tention of the grand jury of Polk coun-
ty at Des Moines. The grand jury
spend three days in investigating the
charges against the Auditor and his
deputy, and declined to return any in
dictment. This is pretty good evidence
that there was nothing in the charges.
The regency is losing its grip.

Probably there are few men in the
country SO busy as President Cleveland,
but he somehow found time to go to
New York and labor whole day
with Gov. Hill, who believes that to the
yictors belong the spoils, trying to in
duce him not to run for governor OF
New York and thus ALLEVIATE the mug
wumps. The next governor of New
York will be IN Office when the cam
paign of 1888 is fought, and it is highly
essential that he shall be a sweet singer
of the praises of Cleveland.

Broadway is to have surface road

will run from Fourteenth Street to the
Battery, and the day the first ear runs
on the new road (Which is being laid)
the stages will cease, the railroad COM
pany buying the stage lines, and selling
them at auction. Ten years ago, had
any one predicted railroad on Broad
way, people would have considered the
