THREE MEN LYNoHED.
All Were Implicated in the Killing of
Farm Hand.

Russell. Kas., Jan. 14.-At o'clock this
morning there was terrible exhibition
of prairie justice here, and three men met
death at the hands of Judge Lynch. No
such outbreak of the old times with
frontier Justice has been witnessed in
Kansas for years. The mob was one of
the quietest and most determined that
ever came together.
1t was a fercely earnest and wholly
heartless mob also, for the victims were
not given even time to pray before they
were dropped into eternity.
The victims were j. G. Burton, Will
liam Gay and the latter's son, John Gay,
who have lived together on Burton s
farm. The men were confessedly guilty
of the murder of Fred Dinniny last July.
Dinniny lived with T. w. Burton, IL
miles north, and on July 8 he disappeared.
Burton had his team and even wore
some of his clothes, but said he had gone
to Oklahoma with young Gay.
TWO CONFLICTING CONFESSIONS.
Gay returned a short time ago and on
close questioning confessed that Burton
had poisoned Dinniny. The elder Gay at
tempted to point out the place of burial
but failed.
Burton then made confession that
Gay killed him and on Thursday took the

Thomasville Ga, Jan. 14-An elegant

Il. w. Gladding, the ubiquitous agent

THE GOVERNOR AND THE MILITIA.
The Southern Associated Press corre-

OF the state militia notify the captains of
companies to hold their men in readiness
for call to action. Not only has the
subject been mentioned to the Jackson
vile captains, but also to the officers who
command companies in the surrounding
towns Although the club says the fight
Will take place as advertised, there are
grave doubts whether it will occur pub
licly. 1t is fact that Gov. Mitchell is
taking steps to interfere, and no one be-
lieves that he will back down at the last
moment and allow the fight to proceed,

MEETING OF THE NEGROES.
If the negroes, Harris and Watkins,
meet at the opera house tomorrow night,
as advertised, some action may be taken
by the authorities that will relieve the
exceeding doubtfulness of the situation.
1t is probable, however, that the negroes
may be allowed to meet without interf err
ence, as the governor may choose to save
himself for the bigger game, namely:
Corbett and Mitchell.
George Silver, of the Chicago News
Record, will not referee the contest be-
tween the negroes as has been stated.
Silver got into trouble through referee
ing matches at Roby, Ind. He has not
settled his little differences with the gov

not care to take the chances Of getting
into trouble with the governor of Florida.

M'K1NLEY ON THE WILSON BILL.
He Looks Upon the Measure as an Ill
Advised One For the South.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 14.-The Louisville
Commercial will tomorrow publish the
following interview with Gov. Mckinley,
given representative, who went to Co
lumbus, o., to ask the governors views
on the tariff question, as affecting the
south:
''Gov. Mckinley, will you tell me what
the Wilson bill means to the south 3" asked
the Commercials representative.
"'The Wilson bill,' said the governor,
is the assertion of the policy of the old
south and utter disregard of the whole
policy Of the new south, with its new con-
ditions. It is returning to what Buchanan
left. don't believe any southerner wants

LIVING IN NEW TIMES.
The same industrial methods that
answered thirty years ago will not serve
now, and just so the legislation of thirty
years ago does not meet the requirement Is

But said the governor, with great
earnestness, this is not a sectional oues-
and south; it is a question of patriot
ism and a question of enlightened
self interest, of national and individual
prosperity. The south needs protection
just as the north needs it, aud it is even
more important TO the south Just now
than to any other section, because Of the
natural conditions existing there Its
natural resources are just beginning to
develop, and need the encouragement of
the same protective system that has stimu-
lated the growth of our northern and

wild rush for safety.
TRAMPLED AND BURNED TO DEATH.
"Some were trampled to death, some

dashed to pieces on the stone pavement

women sat in their seats paralyzed by ter

by smoke.
"The fire engines from the foreign set

THE QUTRINAL AND THE VATICAN.
Rome newspapers comment at length
on the announcement made yesterday
that n conference between Cardinal RAM
polla, the papal secretary of state, and
Premier Crispi is impending IL is be-
lieved that the relaxation of the tension
between the vatican and the duirinal is
due largely 10 the influence of Monsignor
Carini, who, while enjoying the conf
dence of the pope, approves of many fea-
lures of Premier Crispi's policy. Mon
signor Carini has visited Premier
Crispi recently and coferred
with him at great length.
II is significant that In the last few days
the tone of Catholic journals in speaking
of the government has changed completes
ly. They now declare their confidence
that Premier Crispi will restore order in
Sicily and pacify the island permanently
by introducing needed reforms. There are
many indications that a partial under
standing between the quirinal and the
vatican is not far distant.
