EVANSVILLE, IND, June l1.-At Hem
derson, KY, twelve miles below here,
at l o'clock this morning, James Foster,
cclored, was taken from jail by mob
and hung. Foster was arrested Thurs
day morning ut the instance OF John
Howard, charged with a criminal as
sault upon the latter's little eight-year-
cid daughter few miles from Hender-
son, in the country. Foster, on being
arrested, strenuously denied his guilt,
but the most conclusive evidence of it
was found. AS the quiet little city was
asleep, at midnight, 200 Kentuckians,
mounted on horseback and armed to the
teeth, rode into the city. Pulling up at
the jail they made dash for the barred
doors, and before the jailer was fully
alarmed they were inside. Breaking
down the cell door, they dragged the
prisoner to the scene OF his crime and
hung him.

AMERICAN C1y1LlzATIoN.

American civilization cannot STAND
still. 1t must go forward on higher
lines and nobler planes in the direction
OF humanity, morality and the brother
hood OF man. Unsettled questions and
pressing problems are the police of the
world, always on duty, giving nations
no repOsc and bidding humanity move
ever on. ...
1t must not be forgotten, however,
that other civilizations, in their day and
time, with much OF the promise Of
American civilization, have come and
gone. -.
The salvation OF European civilization
has been due among other things 10
emigration and shifting OF population.
There is no such safety-valye for the
United States; itmust face the difficulties
and dangers that beset it, and, ii possi-
BILE, conquer them on American soil,
amid constant influx OF population
from other countries.
The social and political condition Of
the people is already in advance OF that
OF any other people OF the world.

ClAUTAUQUA WEEK
At Fourth Street NJ. Il. Church-,JudGe
Cranmer's Lecture Last Night.

At Fourth Street NJ. II. Church-JudGo
Cranmer's Lecture Last Night.
The lecture given by Judge q. l..
Cranmer at the Fourth Street NJ. L.
Church last evening was very fine
effort. The theme was "The History OF
Wheeling" theme that ought to mp
peal to the interest OF every citizen.
The interest in the audience was great
during the whole delivery OF the lecture,
and the Judges many humorous refer
enccs to past events and persons were
greatly enjoyed. Though the talk was
necessarily long, the interest was well
maintained, and number Of questions
asked at the end showed how deeply
the minds OF those present had been
stirred by the vivid pictures OF the
speaker. The facts thus graphically set
forth TO the large audience should by
all means, in the opinion of all who
heard him, be put into permanent form
for reading or reference. Their collection
and arrangement has cost much labor
and the public owe many thanks TO
Judge Cranmer for the care and pains he
has taken. None who were present last
evening will ever forget the pleasure
afforded by the lecturer.
The entertainment was opened with
an organ voluntary by Prof. Arbenz.
The choir sang beautiful anthem and
Rev. L. W. Barr offered prayer. At the
close america" was vigorously sung.
After the benedictiOn many stayed be-
hind to look at the relics Of past tim0s,
which Judge Cranmer had with him,
especially the bound volume Of the iirst
paper published in Wheeling. II was
the Wheeling Repository Of 1907, quaint
record OF an almost forgotten time.
To.DAY's PROGRAMME.
This afternoon at 8 o'clock the pastor
Of the Fourth Street NJ. E. church, Rev,
DR.. K. F. Randolph, will speak in the
church upon the changes in the modes
OF life in hundred years. The subject
will be illustrated with relics OF old
times and with drawings. The address
will be especially instructive, and it is
hoped entertaining to the young, and
most cordial invitation isextended to all
to be present. In the evening Rev. @.
| Y. Wilson, of Pittsburgh, will lecture in
the church. Mr.. Wilson Is an accom-.
plished speaker and widely known and
entertaining lecturer. All will be great
ly pleased who hear him. There will
also be appropriate music. 1t is the de-
sire to make all the entertainments in
the highest degree instructive and help
iul.

of the Norwegian old settlers club, Messrs.

Chicago, Fred Snythe, of Wichita. Kan
sas. and Thos. Morgan, of the European
hotel, of this city, met with great lnck
fishing on Lake Monona, or to be more
explicit, two of them, Messre. Paulseu
and Schaefer. were extremely lucky. Mr.
Paulsen made the first haul, in Turviil's
bay. landing nineteen pound piekerel
in fine style Then Mr. Schaefer called on
all nand to be quiet and easy. He i'm
agined he was hauling in fifty FOUNDER
of some sort; but it was a seven pound
black bass coming his side licks" on
Jacob. 1t was beauty lying in the boat.
4 seven pound bass Is a rare fish.
Mr. Paulsen's next catch was seven
pound pike; then he struck school
of yellow bass and hauled in seven beau
ties. Schaefer captured thirteen pound
pickerel. Then it was Parker's turn He
tugged away at something he imagined
TO be a whale, and it proved to be a five
pound yellow bass. Then Mr. Smythe
called out: Hold on, boys. don't do all
the blowing. Here comes something-by
jove it's whapperl And so it WAS for a

cured a ten pound picserel. Mrssrs.
Parker and Shaefer, who occupied one
boat, struck lucky spot. In little less
than two hours they captured besides
what is mentioned above seventeen black
bass. five yellow bass and three pike.

"NOVA CESAREUM. :"

There occurred find Thursday which
goes far to substantiate the EAGLES claim
of historic Importance for the site of this
city. The oldest Spanish map of this
country puts down the junction of the
little and great Arkansas rivers as q field
of gold" The Spanish history of Coro-
nado's march in search of Duivari makes
him camp upon the banks of the Great
Arkansas river at the mouth of the Little
Arkansas river, which he named re-
peatedly the st. Peter and St Paul.
Catholic priests undoubtedly reached the
junction of these streams from Mexico
when there were men living who
had seen both Columbus and Cortez.
That this spot was general rendeZ-
vouZ, camping point, trading post, council
and treaty ground tor soldiers and traders
and Indians for hundred years, off and on,
before the settlement of Kansas we have
repeatedly shown. But on day before
yesterday on the corner Of Third and
RlVervlew streets, on the bank of the
former slough which used to run from the
Little river down through town and
which at some time was the Little river
itself, on piece of ground lately sold by
w. &. Hutchinson to W. X. Dulaney, and
which is being improved, Mr.. p. j. Foster
in pitching crowbar off of a wagon, I'M
earthed black or dark looking coin. He
handed it to Mr.. Hutchinson who i'm
mediately proceeded to clean it up. 1t is of
copper and about the size of a one
cent piece, and is a coin and not a medal,
evidently. The coin slipped iii the die
when struck, which married the milling on
the edge but otherwise it is perfect and
but little worn. The diverse side bears
a horses head, beneath which is a pillow
and underneath the pillow the plain figures
1857. Above the horses head are the
words Nova Csesare,' or Nova caeserum,
in Roman capitals. On the reverse side
the American coat of arms or shield,
encircled by the words ''E Pluribus
Unum." The coin was struck the same
year of the adoption of the constitution
of the United States and was
lost before it had been worn.
If it was a year old when dropped, and
evidently by some explorer or camper, it
had lain there just one hundred years
The Nova Casereum'' would seem to in
dictate that it was one of Aaron Burr's |
coins. The coat of arms stamp it 5 as
American. Such coin might have been |
issued by some one of the states between |
1116 and 1857 Some pike of Pixies |
Peaker' might have dropped it. But /
however it came there, or by whoever, the /
fact remains that as a center for human /
efforts, as a Mecca of human wanderings, |
Wichita is no spring chicken.
