sATUEDAY,s LYN0HING.
1t is the All-ABsorbiug Topic at Dan
vilIe.


DAKvILLE, ILL.,, May 27.-Saturday's
lynching is still the absorbing topic of
conversation here. There is possibility
that those members of the mob who are
known will be indicted by the grand jury.
State Attorney S. 6. Wilson is much
opposed to lynch law, and has taken a
more decided stand in censuring the mob
than any other prominent citizen in
Danville. He said today:
'If the grand jury indicts the lynchers
you can rest assured that viii prosecute
them vigorously and fearlessly. The
matter will be brought before the grand
jury. What action it will take, am, of
course, unable te say. 1 believe in fol-
lowing the law in every case. Last sum-
mer some citizens complained that Dam
vile was overrua with mobs of striking
miners. do not see difference bet
ween mob of poor coalminers and one
of rich farmers"
The people will pay the damages done
to the county Jail. The amount will be
raised by subscription. The damage will
not exceed 5000. Miss Barnett's condit-
ion is Improving, and it is expected she
will be removed to her fathers home in
Indianola in few days. The action of
the lynchers meets with her approval.

a Pecultar suit.

SAN Francisco, May ga peculiar
suit was fled in the superior court today.
Dorothea Olsen, the plaintiff, says she is
66, and four year, ago she married Peter
Olsen, aged %. Mrs. Olsen says she
owned valuable property in Alameda
and San Francisco. Her youthful hus-
band gained control of her affairs, and
she says he is dissolute and squandered
her money. She is old and decrepit, and
speaks only German. Her husband
treated her SO brutally that she obtained
divorce last February. She says Olsen
hypnotized her into supporting him
again and mortgaging her property tc
give him money, finally inducing him to
remarry him month ago. She says
she. was induced to sign mortgages by
fraud and Misrepresentation, and that
she never received dollar of the amount
of the mortgages.

SIN Gathering Testimony.

SAN FRANcIsco, May 27.-The police
are still engaged in gathering testimony
against o. w. Winthrop, who was ar
rested last week in connection with the
death of Mrs. Jennie Mathews, who died
under mysterious circumstances at the
grave of her child. So far the only tang
ible clew at hand is the one discovered
by the Examiner, to the effect that Win
throp is named as the guardian of Mrs.
Mathews daughter in life insurance
policy of 81, 900, taken out few days be-
fore her death. The child was made the
beneficiary in the policy. Mrs. Mathews
husband did not know she had had her
life insured until after her death, Win
throp, it is said, having cautioned her to
say nothing about it to anybody. While
the evidence against Winthrop is by no
means conclusive, the police say the clew
discovered by the Examiner suggests the
most plausible explanation of the mYs-
terry, taken in connection with the fact
that Mrs. Mathews said shortly before
her death that she had been given pill
by Winthrop, statement in which her
daughter concurred.
Captain Lees, who has charge of the
Investigation into the death of Mrs.
Matthews, looked up the law concerning
the right to open a sealed letter with a
view to ascertaining if he could be held
responsible if he opened letter written
by Mr.. Winthrop, and addressed to T.
B. Linn, which the head of the detective
force has in his possession. Winthrop
had placed q stamp on the envelope, and
Captain Lees thought perhaps the feder-
al statutes would indicate whether OF

made systematic and thorough canvass
of the city, employing not only his de-
tectives, but policemen from the various
precincts, and found no trace of what he

that they don't sell strychnine except on

SENSATIONAL JAIL BREAK.
A Notorious Character Leaves the Pen
dletOn Jail in Daylight.

PENDLEroN, May 27.-There was a
sensational delivery Sunday evening
from the Umatilla county Jail, in which
one of the most notorious characters of
this county escaped. Ike Farr brought
three horses in from the reservation, two
of them for Joe and Henry Parr, who
were captured after an exciting chase,
by Indian policemen, several weeks ago,
on charges of horsestealing and trying to
kill an Indian posse. A large bar was
sawed off and bent down and Joe crawled
through, jumped on his horse and few
to his friends, who equipped him for
fight to the mountains.
The courthouse is in the middle of a
block of land. exposed on all sides, and
the escape was made in broad Daylight.
Henry Parr was too large to get through
the opening. How the thing was accom-
plished Is shrouded in mystery. The
officers are chasing Parr.

1he Wheat narket.

CHICAGO, May 27.-The wheat market
opened excited and higher today and
within few minutes touched point
only u of cent under top figures during
the recent boom. Liverpool was quoted
at I1s@2d higher. Frosts were reported
in Nebraska and Minnesota Saturday
night and in parts of Illinois last night,
and renewed reports of crop damage
were received from Illinois and Indiana.
Heavy buying orders from the country
added to the bull feeling, as did the ex-
pectation of a very heavy decrease of the
visible supply. On the other hand the
weather map showed the frost area was
restricted and there were areas of low
barometer, indicating rains. These last
are an Offset to bullish news tended to
unsettle the market. July wheat opened
with sales all the between S034c, and
8124c, against 7915 C at the close satur-
day, sold at once to s114c, dropped to
1920, jumped to SIG, broke to 1870,
and then grew frh again. Then with
indications that the visible supply would
only show decrease of about ], 500, $50
bushels, against estimates ranging from
2, 200 900 to 8 800, 900, Saturday, the price
of July wheat broke to 791zc, or &c, low
er than Saturdays closing, after having
been 211c higher.
Corn did not follow wheat in its up
ward movement, chiefly on account of
enormous receipt. Oats started higher
with wheat.
Grangers, encouraged by their sue
cesses in building wheat and corn, seem
to have turned their attention to hog
products. Estimated receipt of live
hogs today were A 600, many more than
were expected, consequently the price
of the animal was weak to cents lower.

Any one who has ever had an attack
of inf1ammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr.. J. A. Stumm, 22o Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate
escape from siege of that distressing
ailment. Mr.. Stumm is foreman of
Merrian's confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street on an
errand, he was caught out in the rain.
The result was that when ready to GO
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to infammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now takes
especial pleasure in praising Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a
bottle of it in the house. For sale by

ARMY VS.. NAVY AGAIN.

By the formal adoption Of the Lee rifle
the Navy is at last in a fair way to be-
come equipped with small arm commen-
suratc with its needs. While it is a graft
flying fact that the antiquated weapon now
in use is TO be displaced, il would seem that
in the question of caliber an UNIV ise decis-
ion has been reached. That recommended
by the board and approved by the secre-
tary of the Navy is 23.6.
Two years ago, after considerable cx-
pense in the way of tests and experiments.
the Army adopted the Krag-Jorgenscn
gun, with a caliber slightly in excess of
that which has been fixed for the Lee
rifle. The difference in bore is SO slight
that it can hardly be a material question
of comparative effectiveness.
On the other hand, this condition Of af
fairs will necessitate the manufacture of
two kinds of ammunition, entailing an ad-
ditional expense.
The value of interchangeable ammu1i-
ton, regarded as extremely important
by foreign powers, has been overlooked,
and the cause is not far TO seek. 1t is sim
ply another illustration of the jealousy
existing between the Army and Navy,
which precludes the idea of one sanction
ing the decisions of the other. A proper
amount of this feeling, in so for as il tends
to promote the service, is commcndablc,
but when IL results in increased expendi-
lures and sacrifice of good sense, it is
overstcpped and becomes reprehensible.

1t lis Poor In Fishes.

The Colorado basin is one OF the largest

225,0C0 square miles, yet, according to

Fish Commission by Messrs. Evermaun and

of fish of eighteen genera. These belong to
the following five families: Catostomidae
or suckers, eight species; Cyprindae or
niinnows, nineteen; Salmondae or trout
and whitefish, two; Poecilidae or top min.
nows, two; and Cottidae, or blobs, one.
All but seven of the species are thus far

election to the State chairmnnshfp by an
acclamatory vote, and thus avoided formal
record OF votes.
This explains the whole situation, and
nothing more suggestive has happened in
the domain of recent politics. In none OF
the States where an organized machine
has ruled has there been found 80 formidable
combination tn defeat long recognized
power. German and Brice had an easy task
compared to that nf Quay. In no instance
has the question of real reform intruded.
1t has been a mere contest for individual
control. II German and Brice and Quay had
been defeated, no benefit to the mass would
have resulted from the accession to power
OF the other fellows. From this standpoint
the success of the old machines is a matter
for genuine congratulations, as 1t leaves
that embodiment OF boss rule intact for
future assaults from a purer source than
that of aspiring politicians whose deter
mination is to control for a selfish purpose
and not to abolish methods and practices
which have been inimical to public welfare.
1t can hardly be doubted that the public
thoroughly understand these incidents in
the evolution nf politics. The apparent
success of Quay only invites a new on-
slaught from those who were Indifferent
in the contest just ended. and at q time
when there is possibility to force the old
sinister influences into Ohscurity without
bringing to the surface new power which
differs from the old only merely in empty
professions.
