THINGS DRAMATIC.

Grau's Opera company produced In diana" at O'Brien's last night to small but well pleased house. The company MT. Grau has with him this year is one of the best opera companies that has been to Birmingham in long time, and the performances they are giving night ly at O'Briens are superior to great many attractions seen here at regular prices. In his company MT. Grau has several artists whose regulations as singers have been long established and are deservedly high. Among these are MT. J. Aldrich Libby, who has remark ably sweet and musical voice that charms and delights his audience; Miss Adelaide Randall. with a beautiful face and figure, and voice that has won her great popularity wherever 1t has been heard. Not much, if any, inferior to these are MT. Fred Frear and Miss Kate Trayer, who sing very sweetly.
 In selecting his chorus MT. Grau eXer- cises great care, with the result that he has one of the best on the road.
 Indiana" is light comedy, which af- lords ample opportunities for hearing these voices to advantage. Last night MT Libby, MT Frear, Miss Randall and Miss Trayer were each encored several times. MT. Frear, especially was very clever as Matt O the Mill. The cast was as follows:
 Indiana Greyfount, young American
 heiress.... ... Miss Adelaide. Randall Lady Prue.. .........Miss Hattie Arnold Nan....... .... ....... Miss Amy Leslie Maud. .............. Miss Carrie Ward Captain Hazard ...... Charles E.

A Town Burnt In.

Seward, Neb., Nov. 15.-The little town of Lamora. seven miles west of Seward. was practically destroyed by fire this morning. The only business houses left standing are the postoffice and hard ware store. No estimate of the loss is made and the insurance is little. A fire just two years ago destroyed half the town and this nearly finishes it.

General Fielding Inauguratcs Tent Bri-
gades" and Prepares His Campaign.
Chicago, May 26.-The most vigorous
summer campaign ever planned by the
Salvation Army was launched today by
Brigadier General Fielding of the army.
A private council of officers has con-
vened and will be followed by similar
meetings tomorrow, and Thursday there
will be a grand field day, to be inaug-
urated by a holiness convention at
Evanston.
The characteristic feature Of the sum-
mer's work will consist in three tent

grimages of the country districts at the
close of the present festivities. One
brigade is composed of a well trained
brass band, with IA good musicians
Another is composed of 20 young wo-
men with a string band. The third is
the mems singing brigade, which also
includes brass and string band. Each
brigade will have tent seating from
1000 to 1000 people.
They will remain in one location from
one to two weeks. 1t is sought by these
means to strengthen the organization
in the country districts, the army hav-
ing hitherto devoted Its energies chiefly
to the slums of great cities, depending
also upon the urban population for
| financial support.

.LYNCHED BY A MOB
Two Thousand Residents Of Dan-
vile, Ill.,,
INSTITUTE A HANGING BEE
Lenders of the Infuriated Crowd Openly
Express Contempt for the
Governor.

Danville, Ills, May 25.-John Halls,
Jr., and William Royce, young men Of
unsavory reputation who assaulted Miss
Laura Bennett and Miss Lillian Draper.
were hanged to Gilbert street bridge at
$3.50 this morning by mob of 900 men.
On the way TO the bridge from the jail
a procession was formed, taking the
boys through the main street. Halls
and Royce both walked with firm steps
with the ropes around their necks.
Royce wanted to see his father, and a
delay followed. His father did not
come. Halls said he was not ashamed
of what he had done. They would not
jump, and both were thrown over the
bridge railing at 3:45. They dropped 80
feet, expiring in fearful convulsions.
Their faces were not covered, as they
swung side by side on the east railing.
From midnight. when the crowd first
made Its appearance at the Jail doors,
until the victims were reached, 1t was q
desperate struggle of frenzied mob
battling against heavy oaken doors and
Iron bars, occasionally halted by the
grim stand of the little band of defend
ers under the command of Sheriff
Thompson telegraph pole was used
as battering ram.
AT 2 o'clock Sheriff Thompson sent for
Judge Bookwalter of the circuit court,
who addressed the crowd from the jail
corridors. He counseled peace and or
der, and for a minute his words were
needed. Then another desperate at
tempt was made to reach the cells where
| the two men were secreted.
Finally Royce was located, crouching
and shivering with fear. His cell door
was quickly battered down. A score Of
| hands dragged him out, and he was
hustled into the dining room and seated
on the table. A rope was placed over
his head, and while part of the mob
kept close guard over him others con-
tinued the search for Halls until he was
discovered in another and more remote
portion of the jail.
Perhaps the most sensational incl
dent of the lynching occurred during
Judge Bookwalter's address to the mob
At first his words produced a telling
effect but the leaders, some of the most
| prominent men In the county, replied
Yes, we know the jury will convict
them and give them severe sentence,
but Governor Altgeld will pardon them.
He recently pardoned three brutes you
sent up from Champaign county for 20
years. II any other man than Altgeld
were governor we would not lynch these
men, but we are determined he will
never have chance to turn them loose -
In jail. before they were taken, both
boys protested their innocence, although
| identified by Miss Barnett's companion
yesterday at the jail. Royce slowly
strangled. His struggles lasted 10 min
utes.
Miss Barnett, one of the victims, how

WHEAT AND BARLEY DOING FINELY
Farmers Around Dayton Have Plenty of
Potatoes This Year.

DAYTON. May 25.-Since last Monday
morning it has been raining at intervals
of a half day, but 1t was not until Sat
urday night that any considerable
amount of rain fell in this vicinity.
Although the rainfall this spring has
been below the average, crops are not
suffering from drouth, on account of
the cool weather. On the whole, crops
are looking fine, and there is every indi-
cation of an abundant yield.
The acreage of wheat this year is
less than last by fourth. The farmers
are devoting more attention to potato
raising than any other one product,
aside from wheat, corn, oats and bar
ley.
Heretofore no attempt has been made
to raise more than enough potatoes to
supply the home market, but this year
nearly every farmer has from one to 81
acres planted to potatoes. 1t is yet a
matter of doubt whether they can be
shipped at profit or not.
The farmers have, to limited extent
diversified their farming this year, ano
the result is awaited with interest One
notable feature is the large number ol
hogs now being raised in this county
and this, In turn, has encouraged the
planting of more corn and various kindi
of hog feed.

man-Review at the time. The lovers
went to Seattle together, remaining
there several days. when they returned
to Mr.. Derbys ranch near Peshas.-n-
and have been living together ever
since. 1t is whispered that Mrs Smith
has confessed her infidelity and will so
testify when the case comes up again,

The Omaha man started in brash. He
led right along for Dixon's jaw, but al

PREPARING FOR SUMNER TRADE
Extensive Improvements Along the Rail
roads in the Palouse Country.

roads in the Palouse Country.
Colfax, May 26.-Extensive improve
ments are being made along the line of
the Oregon Railway & Navigation Com
pany near this place. A gravel train
of 40 cars hauls two loads OF gravel each
day from the gravel banks along the Pa
louise on the Pleasant Valley branch,
to various points on the road. A force
of 80 men is employed In loading cars
at the gravel banks and 20 more in dis
tributing gravel along the road. About
80 miles of heavy new steel rails were
laid last fall and this spring thousands
of new ties have been distributed along
the line and are being put In by forces
of men under the direction of the vari-
Gus section foremen. The work is un-
der the direct supervision of Assistant
Superintendent Bouri. and the road
will soon be In better condition for max
ing fast time and hauling heavy loads
than ever before in it's history. These
improvements are being made In view
or the increased tonnage to be handled
this year, which promises to be greater
than ever before.
While the wheat tonnage will prob
ably be materially reduced, the increase
in proportion of all other articles of
export VIII more than make up for the
deficiency. Hundreds of carloads of
oats, barley, rye. flax, potatoes, fruit.
vegetables and live stock raised In this
country will have to seek an outside
market this season.
For some unaccountable reason the
best market is found for staple products
at points on the Spokane Falls & North
ern and on the Northern Pacific. AS
an instance, 1t is cited, that cents
more was offered for wheat in Cakes
dale this week than the highest price
offered In Colfax. Nearly all shipments
or cattle and sheep going from the
western part of the county destined for
Montana, Dakota and eastern points
are driven overland to Sprague instead
OF being loaded at Endicott and Pampo
and shipped via Spokane, their natural
outlet. Considerable advantage to ship
pers has already been noted to result
from the traffic arrangements between
| the local line and the Great Northern
which affords Palouse points not touch
ed by the Northern Pacific, an outlet
for grain, feed, live stock, ETC., destined
FOR sound points not heretofore enjoyed

FALL WHEAT is TWO FEET HIGH
Whitman County Misunderstanding
SQUIRRELS With philnsonhY.

w 1OuutN
Squirrels With Philosophy.
ColfaX, May 25.-Another slight sprin-
kle of rain fell this morning, and the
weather still remains cool and cloudy.
The change in the feeling and conversa-
ton among farmers, and indeed all bus
mess men, within the last five or six
days. is almost surprising The ther-
mometer of hope and encouragement
has gone up so degrees. Men who a
week ago were going around with long
faces, declaring that there was no hope
for the country, are now buoyant with
the brilliant prospects and declaring
that they always said this was the best
country in the world
This is partly due to the change in
the weather causing a wonderful change
in appearance in growing crops and
partly owing to the advance in the
price of wheat, which is still the staple
product of the Palouse country, in spite
of all the inroads made by the indispu-
table principles of diversified farming.
The market has been changing so much
within the last few days that it is hard
to get definite quotations, but 40 and AZ
cents per bushel have been offered and
As cents free on board was paid yes
terday
In the squirrel infested districts the
same improvement is noted, even to
greater extent. Many farmers who 10
days ago had become so discouraged
at the prospect had quit fighting the
pests and given up their crops to them
are now laying in supplies of poison for
a final deadly war. Speaking few
days ago concerning methods of exter-
mination well known farmer remarked
that offers of 81 bushel for wheat
would kill the pests quicker than any
remedy he could suggest,
The dealers have received another
supply of strychnine. but their orders
were only partly filed, and the supply
is not a large one. One druggist who
ordered 500 ounces received only 200,
with the information that the factories
were unable to supply the unprece-
dented demand. The price of it has
gone up to 80 cents and 81 per ounce,
as against IS cents and so cents earlier
in the season.
Some fall wheat stands as high as two
feet and heads are beginning to appear
in some fields. The latest sown spring
grain is only a few inches high but or
good color and in thriving condition.
Potatoes are nicely up, except a few OF
the late crops, and beans are large
enough to begin cultivating.
