a MOB FoILED.

A Colored Mob Mt Kansas City Attempts to
Lynch a Negro Murderer But is De-
fented.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-. April "a mob
stormed the county Jail at Second and
Main streets at / o'clock this morn
ing. IL was R mob of Infatuated colored
men, about thirty-fve in number,
masked with handkerchiefs, fully
armed and bearing a rope, already
knotted, and which was intended 10
choke out the life of William Mccoy
(colored), who last Sunday night bat
tered out the brains Of his mistress,
hollie Magruder, near the Priests of
Pallas hall at Seventh and Lydia.
The moi was driven away after shots
were fired and bloodshed seemed immi-
nent,
Everything was quiet about the coun-
ty Jail when the mob entered the front
hallway. Deputy Marshal Malloy, who
has charge of the Jail ut night was
making the rounds Of the cells. In the
marshal's office in the west wing of the
court house was Deputy Marshal En-
mons. Upstairs Deputy Keshlear was
sleeping, for he was not OH duty at the
time.
The mob entered the front hall quiet
ly, lowered the gas and began pouring
down the stairway to the basement
where the Jail proper Is located. They
were checked by the wooden door
which shuts off the upstairs part of the
building from the visitors lobby in the
Jail. This door the r~ingleaders of the
mob burst open and had Just started
through when Capt Malloy cam rum
ming up from the woman's part of the
Jail with n revolver in his hand.
"Give us those Keys" yelled some
one down through the big light shaft,
and the men In the staircase echoed the
cry.
Capt Malloy began firing and the
men began ~retreating up the stairway.
Had not the door resisted them SO long
they would have been Mt the entrance
to the cells, and then q fight would
have been necessary, for hurried flight
would have been cut off. As the
negroes began TO come up the stairway
Deputy Marshal Keshlear came down
stairs from the second floor, having
been aroused by the shouts and Deputy
Emmons ran into the front hallway
from the marshal's office. Emmons
was seized by the throat by three OF the
men who demanded the keys. Another
with a revolver against Deputy Kesh-
lear's breast cried:
"Give us the man who killed that
woman"
The deputy answered in vigorous
words that they could not get Mccoy.
Capt Malloy fred again and the mob
began %retrcating slowly. 1t scattered
into groups of eight or ten and excited
knots of men were still lingering about
the street corners in the north end ut 2
o'clock this morning.

BERLIN April lit Is announced tina
the German government has definitely
resolved 10 withdraw the embargo
placed upon American pork. II is added,
however, that the official notice OF this
withdrawal will probably be delayed
for some time, in view of certain ne

RESURRECTION IN INDIA.
CALCUTTA, April THE startling
news has reached here that embold.
encd by the recent success of the Mani
puris, the Miranzai in the Kohat district
of the Peshawer division Of the Punjab
have risen in instruction. Already the
British lines have been attacked along
their entire length. While IL is not
known or believed that the British lines
have yielded 10 the vigorous and unex-
pected attack of the Miranzais, the sit
uation is considered to be one of tho
utmost gravity. Troops are being rap
idly hurried forward to strengthen the
sorely pressed British force at Kohat
The government officials are reticent
and refuse TO give the details of the
information which they have received
from the insurrectionary districts
Great excitement has been created by
dispatches from Rangoon bringing the
news that the Haiku Chins have revolt
ed and attacked the British. A small
British column which was proceeding
from n military post to another was
ambushed by the Chin tribes men.
In the first fire the Chins instantly
killed Lieut.. Forbes and five soldiers
and severely wounded eleven others.
The surprised column utter returning
the fire of the enemy succeeded in ex-
t~ricating itself from the dangerous posi-.
tion in which il had been drawn.

This year the committee on terrific

pleasant trip Il is more interesting
than a journey 10 Norway aud Sweden;
IL Is more expensive also. But that Is a
matter Of no special moment as the
people will have 10 foot the bill The
~osteusible purpose Of the trip Is 10 study
the needs of Alaska and report what
legislation is necessary for the territory.
Although there Is si0.0 900 at the DISPOSE
ton of the committee, the members are
not content TO make the trip from
San Francisco like plain, ordinary
people who travel for pleasure. They
want 10 be exclusive and 10 make a
journey without contact with the vul-
gar mob. They tried 70 nave the fish
commission steamer placed at their SER
vice, but this vessel could not be spared
from her regular duties, and then they
had the gall" 10 ask the secretary of
the navy TO give them the new cruiser
Charleston, now in san Francisco, 10
make the trip. The secretary has this
request still under advisement, but Il Is
believed that he will not consent 20 il.
1t is about time the people OF the
United States understood these iunkcts.
There Is no business whatever per-
formed for the people or in the interest
Of the people during these Journeys.

Plumb, coolly said, much TO the disgust
of Hoar, that he had discovered Hoar

from Canada This Is the nature of
these trips, though, in a general way,
they are not meant for anything except

Quiet In tho Coke Regions.

MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April T.
Quiet prevailed in the coke regions yes
terday. There was actually no disturb
ance of any kind.
The first real effort to start the
Moorewood works since the riot was
made yesterday morning. By actual
count there were forty men at work,
and it was evident that the majority Of
them were old employees, as they drew
out good coke and did it in elegant
shape. They were not interfered with
in any way while going to work. 1t
seems that the strikers are too badly
frightened to disturb any n at the
present time. This condition OF affairs
Is of course due TO the soldiers who have
their guns loaded with ball cartridges
and who have no fear of putting a ball
into a man who ONES too close to the
line.
Capt Loar and eight deputies gave
themselves up yesterday and gave bail
in the sum o. $500 each on the charge

of diseases, has made its appearance in
New York. An autopsy made yester-
day upon the body of James Taylor,

showed that he had died of spotted
typhus fever, the most malignant type
OF the dread disease. He was not
known TO be suffering from the disease
until after his death. As he was sick
for days before in his boarding house

for grave apprehension that the disease

ENGLISH AGRICULTURE.
The London Standard Sees Prosperity For

The London Standard Sees Prosperity For
the Farmer In the Signs of the Times.
LONDON, April s.-The Standard pub
fishes n long and careful review Of the
agricultural outlook, In the course Of
which 1t says that the steady rise in
wheat has revived the hopes Of the En-
glish farmer, adding that wheat would
probably reach the highest price in
many years-the principal cause of the
rise being the failure of foreign crops.
The wheat crop of France and Russia,
according to the Standard, are much
below the average and the deficiency
will be at least 20, 900, 900 quarters. 1t
Is expected that cold winds and frosts
have almost destroyed the French
crops. Germany, Holland and Belgium
all furnish pessimist reports.
The Standard in conclusion says.
1.-THE increased home consumption, the
decreased wheat area owing TO the
spread Of population and to
scientific tillage in order to repair the
waste of first settlers, thus increasing
the cost of production, must inevitably
remove the American farmers formid-
able competition in European markets
and allow the English farmer TO look
forward to u prosperous future"

The State Fair closed this season
after a very successful exhibition.
The races were good, the stock dis
play was excellent and the pavil-
ion exhibits were numerous and
fine.
The Ormsby County Fair will be
held in Carson next week, and no
doubt many from this county will
attend. The Carson track is said
to be in fine condition, and some
fine races may be expected. The
display of fine stock will also prob
ably be large and worth looking at.
Take il in.
And last of all comes the Wabus-
ka Fair. Don't forget it. The
races will be first class, and we
guarantee that the display Of fine
stock will be second to none in the
State. You will be entertained
well and the pavilion exhibits of
home made bread, pies, cake, jams,
jellies, etc., will make the most fas-
tidious epicure as hungry as a

Death OF John Il. Morris.

John E. Morris, we'll known
printer of this State, died suddenly
in Carson last Tuesday of paralysis.
He was a native of Lexington, KY,
where he was born in 1843. In '62
he joined the army, at the age of
10. He was the only son of num-
Der in his family who joined the
Union forces. He served until
June, 1865, when he received an
honorable discharge. John leaves
a grown up daughter who resides
with her mother in Oswego, ILL.,,
and also a mother and son who re-
side in St. Genevieve, Mo. Johnny
Morris was a man who said very
little about his past life, and his
most intimate friends knew little
of his history. The only keep
sakes found upon him were his
discharge from the army and a
photograph of his wife. He resid-
ed in this State about Is years, and
followed the occupation of printer
nearly all the time. For a few
months this year he was employed
in the Carson Mint. His funeral
took place Wednesday, and was
conducted under the auspices Of
the G. A. R. of Carson. Johnny
leaves many friends who are sad
dened at the sudden summons for
him to answer to the last great roll
call. May your spirit rest in peace,
Johnny.

MATER TERMS.
which Are Used In Irrigation Tech.
nicalities,

AS there does not appear to be a
clear understanding by most people
of many of the terms used in con-
nection with irrigation, the following
by Charles L. Stevenson, hydraulic
engineer, defining the meaning of
such expressions and giving the
comparative values, is useful.
Irrigation water is measured gen.
orally by the cubic foot, by the gal
lon or by miners inches. The
duty of water" means the area of
land upon which definite volume
of water, applied during a given
period, will successfully raise crops.
Thus, the average duty in Utah of
one cubic foot per second is "sec-
ond foot" The ''acre foot" is the
equivalent of one acre covered one
foot deep, or 1880 cubic feet. The
miners inch is a variable quantity,
depending upon the head above the
one-inch orifce of discharge. It
varies from four-inch head to a
six-inch head, and is not commend
able unit of measure. Thus, there
are fifty miners inches to a cubic
foot per second, California measure
ment, and about forty miners inches
Colorado measurement. One cubic
foot contains u United States gal
Ions of 231 inches.
Cubic Feet cubic foot per Sec
ond equals 2 acre feet in "a hours,
60 acre feet in 80 days, 1870 acre feet
in 8 months, 720 acre feet in 1 year,
rs gallons per second, 449 gallons
per minute, so California inches,
1874 Colorado inches.
California Inches.-100 Califor-
MIA inches equals 4 acre feet in "a
hours, l acre foot in 6 hours, 1870
acre feet in 80 days, $50 acre feet in
3 months, LAO acre feet in 1 year,
Is gallons per second, 900 gallons
per minute, II Colorado inches, 2
cubic feet per second.
Colorado Inches.-100 Colorado
inches equals 5 1-6 acre feet in "a
hours, 1 acre foot in AZ hours, 155
acre feet in l month, 465 acre feet
in 3 months, 1860 acre feet in 1
year, 1880 gallons. per second, Ito
gallons per minute, 2.6 cubic feet
per second, 100 California inches.

Pine Mountain.

1t is highly probable that rich
mining property will be developed
at Pine Mountain. S. P. Roberts
has been located in that country for
many years past and had located
quite number of claims. He is a
poor man and unable to develop the
property himself, but his faith that
the mines would ultimately be de-
veloped was great and he pluckily
hung on. Some time ago Andrew
Fyfe inspected the country and the
result was that he has bought Rob-
erts' interest in the group with the
exception of one mine, which the
latter reserved. A good wagon
road has been completed up Black
Canyon and small mill erected at
the mines. Dick Whitaker, who
came in from there last Sunday
says the stamps will commence
dropping tomorrow. D. J. Hessian
is interested with Mr.. Fyfe and has
team engaged in freighting. A
carload of ore was shipped during
the week. Some two years ago, al
the invitation of Mr.. Roberts, the
editor of this paper visited the Pine
Mountain country and predicted
that some day good paying camp
would be located there.-Inyo In

The Genoa Courier says: The
Carson Valley Creamery COM
menced receiving milk last Tuesday
morning. The machinery in the
creamery has capacity sufficient
to work up milk from 5000 cows
and turn out one and one half tons
of butter and three tons of cheese
daily.
The number of COWS furnishing
milk will be in the neighborhood of
800, and from this number it is ex-
pected that 500 pounds of butter
will be manufactured daily.
The farmers receive 80 cents per
100 pounds for their milk on the
basis of its testing four pounds of
butter to the hundred pounds of
milk.
Both Washoe and Douglass coun-
ties now have creameries in success
full operation. Why cannot Lyon
have a creamery? She certainly
has as many advantages as either
of the above counties, and the mar
ket for good butter is always good.
Mason Valley would be the place
for the creamery, and we believe
the people of that section ought to
investigate the matter; visit the
Douglass county creamery, see how
the business is carried on and con-
clude to have one of their own.
