Our Public schools.
EDITOR HERALD 1t is now generally
known that Prof. l.. A.. Freeman, our present
efficient Superintendent of public schools,
will not be a candidate for reelection for tho
ensuing term. This determination on the
part of Prof. Freeman has given rise to many
regrets and no little concern as to the selcc-
ton Of his successor.
Uude the present management our schools
have sustained an excellent reputation. 1t
has long been a matter of pride, that what
ever else might be said to the disadvantage Of
our town, our schools have been equal to tho
best in the county,
1t is admitted on all sides that this high
standard can be maintained only by the most
vigilaut aud energetic supervision ON the part
of a superintendent thoroughly equipped for
the work.
win our Board succeed in,fndiug a man to
meet all the requirements Of this important
position2 1t is no more than reasonable that
the citizens of the largest town in the county
should expect their School Board to give
them a superintendent who shall prove equal
to the emergency. He should have sufficient
requirements to enable him to take his
proper rank with the best educators in the
county, with the prestige of success in his
profession sufficient to compel the respect and
confidence of our numerous corps Of teachers.
The success or failure of our Board in
making this election is sure to have an
important bearing on their standing and
reputation with the community. Any back
ward step is sure to meet with severe COM
demuation.
1t is generally believed that our Board is
fully alive to the importance of this matter,
and they will justify the confidence reposed
in them.

Michael Harritz, a Hungarian, beat his
wife terribly at their residence in Schmidt's
row yesterday. The beating the woman re-
ceived was so severe that it caused a report of
murder to be circulated. The wife had two
black and swollen eyes and her face was like
a piece of jelly when she apparel before
Justice Monaghan. The husband is under
bail for trial.

boys crowded about our contemporary
building and the circulation editor was
almost driven wild. Now let other doubters

STRUNG UP BY A MOB.

| Swift Retribution OvertaIEes the Negro
Charles Watson, who Cut the Throat
OF Sam Keith. The 1O-fear-O1d Boy
Who was Selling Water Melons at the
Uniotttown, (Ky) Fair. and Robbed Him
OF His Little Earnings.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Aug. 19.-Yester-
| day shortly after 2 o'clock Charles
Watson, the negro who cut the throat
Of little Sam Keith, 1O-year-old boy,
was lynched by mob of about 1,5OO
citizens of Morganfield and Union
town, KY. The hanging occurred in
Taylor's woods about a mile from Nor
garfield. Young Keith was at the
Uniontown fair Thursday selling
watermelons Towards evening Wall
ton succeeded in coaxing Keith into
field near the fair grounds. When ont
OF sight of the people Walton cut the
boys throat in fearful manner and
then robbed him of four dollars. The
negro fled and the boy crawling to the
fence managed to attract the attention
OF passers-by by making peculiar
gurgling sound. He was carried into
house at the fair grounds and physi-
clans summoned. Everything was
done for the sufferer, but there is small
hope of his recovery.
Walton was captured shortly after
the cutting and was taken to Morgan
field, to which place Keith was also
taken on special train. The prisoner
was identified by the boy about IL
o'clock Thursday night.
News of the Identification spread
quickly. The mob formed quietly, and
Learning that their prisoner was on the
way to the Henderson Jail, twenty
miles distant, they set out to follow.
They came up with the officers and
prisoner about mile from Morgan
field, and taking Walton from the sur
rey, placed rope around his neck and
swung him to limb.
The negro begged piteously for his
life, but did not deny his crime. The
rope was tied about the tree and the
body left hanging until a. M, when
it was cut down and hauled to Morgan
field. 1t was then buried in hole in
the ground in pottersfeld without a
box.
Sheriff Blue, who was at the Nor
garfield Jail when the mob came up,
had the Delaney-Holt murderers taken
to his private residence, fearing the
mob would lynch them also. There
are seven in this crowd awaiting trial
for the murder of Mrs. Abbie Delaney.

Commander-in-C Chief weIssert on the Pen
sion Question.

CANTON, o., Aug. 19.-At the grand
camp fire given by the local G. A. R.
at the tabernacle Thursday night
Commander-in-Chie A. G. Weissert, on
the subject of pensions, said:
''As far as pensions are concerned
there is not man on the pension rolls
to-day who was not placed there hon
estly and just as the pension laws e.
quired him to be. If you find man
drawing pension illegally the govern
ment considers it your duty TO report
that man. The G. A. r. is Just as
anxious for the enforcemeFs of the
laws now as it was in 1S61-65. Moth
ing has occurred since then to Shauge
its views. We object to anyone as
sailing the entire pension roll with out
citing a single case. 1t generally oc-
ours that those who assail the pension
rolls were not in the army on either
side. The membership of the G. A. Z.
is always loyal.

Worlds Fair Opening Sunday,

Worlds Fair Opening Sunday.
WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO,
Aug. 21.-The effort at dissolution OF
the Klingmap injunction forbiddiug
the closing of the gates on Sunday
have dragged along in the courts for
another week, the fair was open yes
terday. The attendance was very
small and the grounds after having
been thronged with splendid crowds
during the week appeared strangely
deserted. The buildings were open
but the few people who wandered
through their vast areas did not find
much to delight the eye, as nearly all
the exhibits were covered.
There were services in Festival hall,
but no music was given in any of tn
pavilions and no attraction of any chas
acter that would tend to draw pee
pie was offered. The West Point car
diets gave a dress parade at o'clock in
the evening, and the place in front OF
the government building where the
drill took place divided the days
crowds with the attractions of the
midway.
The week just closed was a record
breaker in the number of visitors
700, 796-an increase over last week OF
11O, 70S. The average for the week,
omitting Sunday when but 1880 paid
admissions were recorded, is 12S, sos.
Saturdays attendance was 169,951 be-
ing the best day of the fair with the
exception of July 4, when 2S3, 7O3 paid
admissions were registered. The rec
ord is very gratifying to the exposi-
ton management, and with a little
help from the railroads in the matter
of excursions they expect to see great
increase from this time on.
