WALLACE LYNCHED.
The Mob Accomplishes it's Purpose
on it's Second Call.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Or. +. Wallace, the
murderer of the Logan family of five per-
sons, father, mother and three children,
was taken from jail at Steeleville last
night by mob and lynched. The guilty
man had been taken from Steeleville to
Cuba, Mo, where the horrible crime had
been perpetrated, for safe keeping, for fear
that he would be summarily dealt with by
the enraged citizens of Cuba. Friday
morning, Oct. !, a mob gained entrance to
the Jail, seized Wallace, dragged him
from his cell and strung him up. He was
cut down after being allowed to hang for
short time in order that confession
might be forced from him. he refused TO
own up to the crime, and before the crowd
could hang him up again the Sheriff
gained possession OF him and buried him
back to his cell. The crowd was pre-
vailed upon to dIsperse, and 1t was sup
posed that the law would be allowed TO
take its own course.
LYNCH LAW TRIUMPHs.
Last night, however, a second and more
successful attempt was made to mete out
justice to the murderer. A masked mob
OF about 100 men quietly gathered around
the Jail at midnight and demanded an en-
trance of the iailer This was refused,
and the mob battered down the doors. A
delegation of their members was sent to
bring out the prisoner, while others were
detailed to guard the roads leading to the
scene. Wallace was wakened from his
sleep, dragged out 30 the infuriated mob,
and asked If he had anything to say. He
responded by strongly protesting his in
nocence, still adheriug TO the story that
it was the negro Vaughan who was
guilty. This angered the mob more than
ever, and with shout they produced a
rope, one end of which they placed around
the murderer's neck. The other end was
thrown over the limb OF a tree standing
near the jail. The prisoner still protested
his Innocence and appealed for mercy, but
without avail. Strong hands grasped the
rope and Wallace's body was swung In the
air. Another chance was not given him
to confess. and in few minutes his body
was corpse. The mob then dispersed
and the jail officers cut down and took
possession of the body. There is NO clew

IChristmas Gathering.

The Christmas time has come again; the
gladstone Christmas time;
The evergreens are berried bright, the boughs
are white with rime;
From every steeple far and near tho joy-bells
pealng ring
The voice of mans good will to man speaks
forth in everything.
Warm glow the lights by cottage-hcarth, in
lordly mansions high,
And many tale of love is told meath frosty
starlit sky,
As merrily the sleigh bells ring and silvery
laughter sweet
Blends with the crunching OF the snow be-
meath the ponies feet.
Here strains of joyous music como from yon
der crowded hall,
And sounds or mirth and twiskling feet pro-
calm the Christmas ball;
And glowing cheeks and cleaning gems and
brighter eyes are there
Tones of manhood, childhoods grace, and
madens' bushes fair.
The miste'oo hangs coy aloft, its polished
beads of white
Mixel with the laurel and the bay and scar
let berries bright
Of glistening holly, whilst the yew peeps
graceful from beneath
The glowing mass, and over all is tNined the
ivy wreath.
The little ten.year-old cavalier assumes a
manniSh air,
The six-year ilirt throws, concious, back her
wealth of golden hair;
A ripper beauty sheds her smile white haired
knight upon,
Whilst younger manhood envying turns and
looks half jealous on.
So Winter, once again made young, bethinks
him Of his Spring;
And Spring looks up in Winters face whilst
youth is on the wing,
Forgetting, even as she smiles, Old Time
another pace
Hath travelrd forward and hath touch'd, un-
seen, Ter wnsom, face.
Ring on, ring on, o Christmas bells peal out
upon the air;
Grasp bands, Ostalwart, bearded men; smile
on, g maidens fair;
Laugh, darling bright-haird little ones, in
your white bloosom'd primod;
Pay royal homage, one and all, to happy
Christmas ii ne!
The time of mutual good will, the season to
forgive,
Forget We bygone injuries, but kindnesses let
live.
Let love strew flowers DER the young, whilst
Friendship cheers the old,
Erase the black lines of the Past-the Future
write in god!

The Fleet and Wary Antelope,

A Fort Keogh (Nlontana) cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Times says
that thousands of antClopes have APP
pcarcd in that vicinity this season. The
writer adds: To hunt the antelope sue
ccssfully requires moro than ordinary
skill. With the exception of mountain
sheep antelope arc tho most difficult
game animals to approach on this conti-
ncnt. A bear will stand up and actually
seek fight; buffalo bull will run at

Unknown Islands in the Pacific.

The fact that two islands Of considcra-
bic size have recently been discovered in
the Pacific Ocean, shows that we have
yet much to learn of this great watcry
expansc. The latest discovery is an
island lying less than 100 miles from the
northern coast of New Guinea. 1t has
been named Allison Island, is nearly
three miles long, rises from 100 to $50
feet above the sea, and has abundant
timber. Several specks Of fertile and
inhabited land, some of them much larger
than Allison Island, have been found
within few years alta distance of one
hundred to two or three hundred miles
from the New Guinea coast, and similar
discoveries are made once in a while in
various parts of the Pacific.
Occanica is so large that no map of it
can be given in an atlas except OH a
minute scale. We see hundreds Of
groups and solitary islands huddlcd to-
gcthcr on the maps, and get the idea
that the Pacific is thickly studded with
vcrdant bits Of fland. The fact is, how
ever, that vessels may sail among these
islands for many weeks without once
coming in sight Of land. Only a few
months ago a crew that had been ship
wrecked in the great island region of
the Pacific, rowcd north for forty days
before they reached Hawaii, the nearest
land. Mr.. A. r. Wallace, who has
travelled widely in the Pacific, cx-
pressed the opinion some time ago that
there are still a good many islands there
that have never yet bccn seen by white
men.

A writer on the philosophy of slcep
declares that sleep is prevented by an
excess of blood in the brain and proposes
as a remedy, to pump the blood back
from the brain by peculiar method Of
breathing, for which directions are
given as follows: Having assumed the
usual posture of rcpose, the person is tc
inhalc slowly and steadily long brcaths,
dcvoting the whole attention to making
the inhalations and exhalations exactly
the same length, the length to be much
greater than that of ordinary breathing,
although not sufficient to disturb tho
circulation by working the lungs to thcil
utmost capacity. In support OF thi'
theory reference is made to the feeling o.
faintncss produced by filling the lung
with all the air they will hold and thcr
expclling it, repeating the operation
rapidly three or four times; the resulting
faintness is attributed to the Withdrawal
of blood from the brain, and the SAINT
effect, substantially, follows any suddel
ard extreme emotion. So violent dis
turbance of the system, however, is no
advised for the purpose here sought, bu
steady and gradual diversion of tn,
blood from the brain to the lungs anC
body.
