While the awful death melted out by a
lynching mob comprising the whole
town ia Paris, Texas, yesterday, TO a
negro ravjSher, who horribly murdered
his three aud a half year old victim, was
none too mild for the black 6end, il was
more than tho civilized State Of Texas
can stand without lasting disgrace.
The barbarous execution, the like Of
which has hardly been surpassed by saw
ages In any land, and which was acQui-
esced in by the officers Of the law, goes
far toward showing that, after all, our
boosted civilization is but very thin
veneer over the original savage.

The Beautiful Miss Marlatt, Of Ok

What She Has to Say on Very Interesting
Subject
Her Remarks Deeply Concern All
Women.

Oxford, n. J., is the home OF many beau
tiful ladies', but none fairer than Miss
Emma Marlatt, who is a recognized belle
and known and loved by large circle OF
friends aud acquaintances.
She had the grave misfortune to be
afflicted with most serious complaint
which rendered her parents and friends
very anxious in regard to her state Of
health Physician after physician was
consulted, but without the slightest oene-
fit, until at last, having been recommended
TO use a certain remedy. the sufferer as
well as her parents, were all amazed at the
suddenness OF the cure it effected.
Doubtless Miss Marlatt's friends will be
overjoycd at her recovery and restoration
TO sound health and strength. aud we are
sure the public generally will read with
deep interest her description of how that
health was so marvellOusly regained.

No Ncv. from the Missing steamer.

SAN Francisco, CAL, February l.
There is still nonews of the overdue Paci-

creased anxiety to those who have friends
and relatives on board and also to the Pa
cifc mail officials, who are getting uneasy
about the steamer, although they express
the opinion that the ship will come into

II was thought possible that the steamer
China, which arrived this morning, would
bring some news of the Picking, but she re-
ports that she saw nothing of the missing
steamer and that she spoke no other vessel
which had sighted her. The Picking Is now
eight days overdue and it is probable that

For the sake Of breaking the dead
lock in the Second Brsnch and proceed
ing with she public business the Dem
ocrats in Council have agreed 10 divide
the organization equally with the Re-
publican minority. In doing this
the Democrats voluntarily sacrifice
party TO desire to promote
the public business when such
action really was not demanded
or expected OF them, and was the part
toe Republican minority should have
played.
The IntclliJenccr by advising q COM
promise yesterday acknowledged that it
had little faith in the justice Of thu stub
born stand taken by the Republicans Of
o. that body. They had no shadow Of
reason on their side for maintaining
the deadlock, except that they hoped to
gain few Offices by using the power
the tie vote gave them to keep the pub
lie business at q standstill until thei,
unwarranted claims we're recognized.
On the other hand, the Democrats
had every reason for insisting on their
right TO organize the body. They con
troll Council on joint ballot; they con,ro'
every branch OF the city government;
they will be held responsible for all that
is done. good and bad. II would
have been no more than just, therefore,
that they should have controlled the
Organization Of the popular branch Of

The Boy Who Stole an ''saGle'' Fined Three

Harry Ozane of the drug firm of Ozane

store every morning. and when the store
is not open the carrier folds it up and
sticks it though the latch handle. II
there is one thing above another on earth
that Henry can't get along without it is
the morning EAGLE, and when he came to
his store Saturday morning and found it
gone he was so hot and righteously indig-
nant that lie offered the policeman on the
beat s. if he would capture the thief
Sunday morning the officer kept his eyes
open and when the carrier put the EAGLE
in the usual place the policeman entered
some quiet nook where he could watch
developments Pretty soon young col
ored boy named Ruffantine came along
and after looking about him cautiously
nipped the paper and started Oft to sell il.
The policeman in tue meantime emerged
from his hiding place and in a short time
had the boy arrested In the police court
he WAS tried yesterday and fined the So as
stated The fine is much more than that
aud Judge Babb says that the next boy
brought before him on the same charge
will be given the full penalty. The police
say they are determined TO break up the
practice of stealing papers and 1t is 10 be

THE RESULT OF A DIVORCE.

Sunday afternoon man named Smith
whose home is near Dover. Oklahoma, was
in the city chasing IL horse and buggy that
had been stolen from him by three children
aged IS, II and 9 years respectively. Mr..
Smith went to church Que night last
week and tied his horse to a
hitching post while he participated
in the services. The children in question
unhltched the horse and drove away with
it. Saturday they were seen near the Gar
field university and Sunday they were
seen near Valley Center. The children
had no money when they started, and how
they crossed the Cherokee strip without
anything to eat Il a mystery. Before
leaving they told some OF their chums
what they were going to do, aud why. 1t
appears their father and mother were di
vorced short time ago; the mother went
to Mcpherson county to live with her
friends while the father retained the Gus
tody Of the children. They became lone
some after their mother and resorted to
this method in going TO her. Chief Cone,
TO whom the story was told by Mr.. Smith,
did not recollect the names of the children.
