The Danger From the Cat.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
l wish for the benefit OF those who allow a cat
to lie in the cradle with a child you would give
this note space. l have lately read in your
paper two articles on the subject, and am sur
prised that none seem to realize the harm the
cat does. The cat will not suck the child's
breath, but the child will inhale the breath of
the cat, which is very poisonous. l remember,
not many years ago, seeing a cat-loving child
made very sick with terrible fits or spasms. She
could always be found with the cat in her arms
Finally she took the cats breath by kissing it
in the mouth, and Immediately Tell into fits.
have never allowed II cat around my home
since saw that. suppose If the cat could thus
kill a child it would then gorge itself on the
chidS flesh, it is known that a cat will try to
get where there is dead body if il can. know
OF no being cats will seek to sleep with but a
human being and think they have the power
to kill person in the way mentioned above
were they left undiSturbed, L would advise
that all cats be kept from the cradle, and also
that children be not allowed to carry about a
cat in arms. NOT A LOVER OF CATS.

lions had been issuing injunctions against the
knights OF Labor to keep away from the railway
property. This was new line of tactics. These
lnjunctions, coming from the United States
courts, took the matter out of the hands OF the
railroads into the hands OF the United States
courts, which were supported by marshals and
deputy marshals. Behind the marshals was
the United states army. There may be
some question whether their brethren In

ANOTHER APACHE OUTBREAK.

The Half-Brother of Geronimo on the
War Path.
CHICAGO, Oct IA special dispatch
from Ell Paso, Tex, says: News has been
received here which confirms what has
been feared for several weeks-that the
hostile Apaches are still out, and the cap
ture of Geronimo did not end the Apache
war. Lieutenant BrittOn Davis, recently of
the United States army, now manager Of
CerrOlettO's ranch in the State of Chihua-
hUa, says eight hostile Apaches raided the
ranch during his absence and drove away
twenty mules. He started in pursuit,
and after following the thieves for several
days, came up with them only sixty miles
from this city, in the State of chihuahua.
He was amazed to find that they were
Apaches, ten in number. A sharp battle
enSued, but none of the Lieutenant'S party
were seriously hurt. Lieutenant Davis
SAYS Old Mangus vas the leader OF the
thieves. Mangus has been for twenty years
the terror of the border. He is regarded
as a far ADLER tactician than Geronimo,
and is imbued with a deeper hatred of the
whites. Mangus and Geronimo are half.
brothers. Lieutenant Davis says he has
pursued Mangus and his band to within
twenty-five miles of FL PasO, where lie
abandoned the trail. Davis thinks the hos
tiles are by this time in New Mexico. and
that they intend to make raid through
New Mexico and Arizona, thence into So

In the vicinity OF cities and large towns

one they are interested in enough to nduce
them to become thoroughly acquainted

there is but little doubt but they will do

DEAD IN THE BRUSH.

The Body of a Well-to-Oo Stranger Found

slowly they were Mortified to find the par
TALLY decomposed body of man. The
stencil was frightful. and the ladies'
retleated as rapidly as possible.
They reported their horrible discOv-
cry to the coroner OF Wyando.:e, and
Undertaken Raymond went after the body.
There Is, perhaps, not such lonely spot in
Wyandotte County as the place where the
body was found. When the undertaken ar
rived and pushed his way through the
thicket a half dozen huzzards, which
had been gorging themselves on tie
body, flew away. The skull Of the
man, which had been picked
clean of flesh by the buzzards. lay several
yards from the body. The body itself was
badly decomposed, but the apparel indi-
Gated that the dead man had been well to
do. The clothes were broadcioth, the shirt
a fine linen one, and the shoes were made
of the best calfskin. Nothing was found
to furnish clue that wOuM lead 10 the
dead mans identity. The body was re-
movec to the morgue. An inquest will be
held to day.

81. LOUIS. Oct 5.-Wallace, the murderer
Of the Logan family of i've persons. father,
mother and three children, was taken from
the Jail at Steeleville last night by mob and
lynched. He had been taken to Stesleville
from Cuba, Mo-, where the horrible crime
was perpetrated, for safe-keeping, for fear
that he would be summarily dealt with
BY the enraged citizens of Cuba. Friday

him from the jail and hung him up lie
was cut down after being allowed to hang
for . short time, in order that . con.
fessiOn might be forced from him. He
refused to own up tO the crime. Before
the crowd could hang him up again
the sheriff gained possession OF him
and hurried him back to his cell,
Last night however, second and more
successful attempt was made to mete out
justice to tie murderer. A masked mob Of
about one hundred men quietly gathered
around the Jail at midnight and demanded
entrance Of the TALLER. This was refused and
the mob battered down the doors and dele
cation of their members was sent to bring
out the prisoner, while others were detailed
to guard the roads leading to the scene.
Wallace was awakened from sleep and
dragged out to tile Infatuated mob. He
was asked il he had anything to say.
lie responded by strongly ,rOtesting
his innocence, still adherng to the
story that it was the negro Vaughn who
was guilty. This angered the mob more
than ever, and with q shout they produced
rope, one end of which they placed
around the murderer's neck. The other end
was thrown over q limb of q tree which
stood near the Jail. The prisoner still
protested his innocence and appealed for
mercy, but without avail.

Miss Anthony was the first speaker and
opened her discourse by comparing the diff

those of forty years ago. The girls of to-
day enjoyed far greater freedom, and in

a general survey of the world, proving by
copiOus examples that disfrancliisement
always meant degradation. She dweIt ls,r.
ticu.arly on the changed condition OF the
