The Sulphur Cavern,

Three miles from the village Of
Krisuvik, in the great volcanic district
of Iceland, there is whole mountain
composed of eruptive clays and pure
white sulphur. Although this sulphur
mountain is wonder in itself, interest
centres to that spot on account of a
beautiful grotto which penetrates the
western slope to an unknown depth.
The main entrance is a tissure-like
chasm, about go feet in height and
only eight or ten feet in width. The
door inclines for the first so or 60
yards, and then suddenly pitches
downward, seemingly into the very
bowels of the earth. Here the fissure
widens into considerable cavern,
with walls, roof, floor, stalactites and
stalagmites, all composed of pure,
crystallized sulphur. Louis Re-

HANGED BY A MOB.

OTTUMwA, Iowa, Nov. 21.-Fred Gus
tavesun. laborer. aged 80. who recently
came to this city. was hanged by q mob on
the main street of Ottumwa at 2:30 O'clork
this afternoon. Last night he enticed the
four-year-old daughter of Jonas Sax into
the room OF boarding g-house and crimi-
nally assaulted her. The child now lies
at the point of death.
This afternoon Gustaveson was brought
to Justice TRUTHS office for preliminary
examination. A fight ensued there be-
tween the father, grandfather and other
relatives of the child and the offic eIs. The
culprit was finally wrested from the hands
of the officers and dragged into the street.
Here the mother of the child stood with a
rope and gave it into the hands of
the mob. 1t imm edlately placed the
rope about the wretch's neck and he was
hanged to the bannister outside the stair
way. A great crowd by this time col
lected. No effort was made to cut the viii
lain down. After hanging twelve minutes
the rope broke and the body fell to the
pavement. 1t was seized by officers and
hurried to the Jail. The mob. fearing life
was not extinct, followed and demanded
the body. Mayor Laforce assured them
the fellow was dead and ordered them to
disperse, but they refused. Finally COM
mittee from the crowd was selected TO view
the remains. They reported life extinct
and the mob dispersed. For a time it
looked as if the mob would not have been
satisfied until 1t had taken another life.
The trial of Ed Walton, for the murder of
young girl by malpractice, began this
morning in Judge Babb's court. When
the mob made break for the jail some one
yelled, Lets get Walton" but fortunately
he had been spirited away by officers and
no further trouble ensued.

A CHANGE Is COMING.

The Sunday Advertiser, of New York,
has set a new pace. 1t proposes to do
away with anything approaching a
blanket sheet 1t wants but two cents
for its Sunday issue, and it gives all the
news in sixteen pages. This may be a
death blow to space writers, but it is a
happy relief to those who read Sunday
papers. And what's the logic? A bust
to buy goods at bottom figures" has
been paying high prices for an advertise.
ment in a forty page paper-a paper
whose pages are never read.
When business men learn that a half
page ad is lost in forty pages and that it
is read in a sixteen page paper, then the
triumphs of padded sheets will end.
All is progression these days and we
are glad to note that the Sunday Adver-
tiser has set the pace. OF the new de-
parture in Sunday journalism, the New
York Herald sensibly says: "COLONEL
COCKERILL is to be congratulated on his
new departure. He has sent forth the
Sunday Advertiser reduced in size and
reduced in price. COLONEL C%OCKERILL
believes that the people want a smaller
paper on Sunday. He also believes that
with a small paper the public want a
small price, and he therefore reduces it
from five cents to two cents. We feel
assured that the colonel understands the
needs of his constituency and that this
enterprise is not in the nature of an ex-
pertinent. However, should the readers
of the Sunday Advertiser at any time de-
sire to return to the old form and the old
price they can be readily accommodated.
COLONEL CoCKERILL has our best wishes
in his new undertaking.
