A Baby Incubator.

Raising babies of premature birth by the
aid of mechanical incubator is the latest
freak of medical science at the Woman's
hospital, Philadelphia. For the first time
this process was put to practical test ten
days ago, when Florence Ryan, an 8-days-
old child, was wrapped in swaddling
clothes and placed in the incubator. The
parently edjoylng the best of health. Her
weight at the time of her birth was about
three pounds, or one half the weight of
the average newborn child. The incuba-
tor has raised the babys weight up to five
pounds within ten days. She rests in the
incubator constantly except when taken
out to receive nourishment or when she is
given sponge bath. The former operation
occurs three times day and the latter
twice.

The Kansas alien land law is in line
with those of Indiana, Illinois, and the
United States. Soon or late all the
agricultural States will bs found pro-
hibiting the ownership of land in large
quantities-at any rate, to any but
citizens or persons who have signifed
their intent of becoming citizens. But
the bill now before the Kansas Legis.
lature contains provision which might
we'll have been grated upon the land
laws of other States. 1t permits an
alien to become the owner of any
quantity of farming land less than 100
acres. This is not enough to create
danger of alien landlordism, and is
enough to bind the owner to the laws
and constitution of the country. There
are very few anarchists who own real
estate; none who own and cultivate
small farms.

LYNCHING AT HEM PsTEAD.

George Diggs, Coiored, Alleged Rapist,
Taken from jail and Hanged.
Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Hampstead, April 15.-Sunday morning
a negro named George Diggs was found
hanging to a china tree on the square, a
mob of masked men having broken into
the jail the night before.
Diggs was raised in Grimes county, was
about 20 years old, about five feet seven
inches in height, had round, bullet head,
with thick, protrudipg lips, and was a
specimen of regular ignorant plantation
negro.
About ten days ago the negro went to
the residence of German farmer resid-
ing on Spring creek about ten miles
north of this city. The farmer was
working in his field at the time. At the
point of pistol the negro ordered the
lady to get him dinner. After eating
he again drew his pistol and made an at
tempt to commit more heinous crime.
The timely arrival of her husband
saved her. Diggs fled at once, and was
caught the next day by Deputy Sheriff
Bell and Constable CULLEN twenty five
miles from the scene of his crime. He
was jailed quietly so that the people could
not get hold of him.
The tragedy of the morning, of course,
made quite an excitement, but the general
verdict is: "Served him right" Many
good men condemn the proceedings, be-
cause the negro was in the hands of the
law and therefore the law should have
settled the case.

A RACE FOR A CHILD.

How Mother Secured Possession of He
Child in Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 16.-An exciting
race for child took place in this city
last Friday, but the story has just con g
out. Three years ago young man by
the name of Donald married handsome
young lady of Plattsmouth, who was con-
sidered beneath him in the social scale.
After about years married life he de-
serted her, leaving a 3-months'-old babe.
She went to Omaha and he to Weeping
Water, where he was engaged in bank.
Oftentime he longed for his child, and
about three weeks ago went to Omaha and
secured possession from the lady who
kept it during the day time while the
mother was employed. The wife went to
Weeping Water and made an unsuccessful
attempt to recapture the infant. Fearing
further trouble from her, the child was
placed in care of parties in this city.
Learning this, the mother came here
Friday, and in company with muscular
servant girl, went to the residence of the
lady who had her child. Luckily for her
no one was home but the nurse, and the
mother soon had the child and was hurry
ing away when she was met by a brother
of her husband, who attempted TO take the
child. Failing to do SO, he etruck her
three or four times, when the servant girl
came up behind and dealt him blow
which made him give up the fight. While
the girl WAS engaged with him the mother
reached the depot and took the Omaha
train and is safe at home with the baby.
