WOULD LIKE THE PLACE.

Candid ates for County Superintendent
WrIght's Position, Vacated by Resignation.
The election of County Superintendent
Wright as principal of one of the city
schools will create a vacancy in that
office as he will, in short time, offer his
resignation to the board of county COM
missioners who will name his successor.
There is already quite stir among
the teachers in the county, and there are
at least two very active candidates. The
appointment will almost insure an elec-
tion next fall, and this fact increases the
zeal of the applicants.
J. w. Stout, principal of the Nickle
plate school, is the most prominent ap-
plicant He is one of the Oldest as we'll
as most successful teachers in the
county, and has been quite prominent in
local politics. Mr.. Stout lives in Will
Transport township.
The other candidate who is making a
special effort to secure the appointment
is William Van Orsdal. principal of the
Silver Lake School He lives near the
home of Commissioner Williams and
will probably have his support.
J. H. Stevens, another prominent
Shawnee county teacher has been mem
toned in connection with the place.

New YORK, May 31.-Thomas Il.
Carter. chairman of the Republican
national committee in public statement
saws: I'm 1895 the Repu ubIican party will
stand for protection and the restoration
of bi-metallism on a substantial and en-
during basis There may be differences
OF opinion in the party on the tariff
schedules but not upon the principle OF
protection.
"There will be differences Of opinion
as to the best course to pursue to secure
the free and unlimited coinage of both
gold and silver at a fixed ratio, but there
will be no difference of opinion as to the
desirability of bringing about the result
upon one question there will be
neither difference of opinion as to the
general principle involved, or as to the
means to be employed That is with
reference to the restoration of a vigorous
thoroughly American foreign policy.
81 am persuaded that the Republican
convention will pledge the party anew
and with great earnestness and force to
to this line of policy. The people de-
mand it. They are conscious of their
strength and they realize that this repub-
lie cannot longer be referred to as mere
ly nation. They know 1t has become

A BRIDGE FOR NIAGARA.
It VIII Furnish Power by Means of zoe
Foot Wheels

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 31.-Alonzo c.
Mather of Chicago is in this city IN con-
nection with the power bridge which is
to be constructed across the Niagara
river here and which is to be used to
furnish electric power by means of I'm
menSe 200 foot wheels to be driven by
the river current
For years Mr Mather has held firmly
to the opinion that the current of Mag
ara river at Buffalo could be utilized
and be made to produce practically un-
limited power for pumping pur-
poses and for ali the other
purposes for which electricity
may be needed. The bridge, if the bill
authorizing it becomes a law, will be
constructed under a positive guarantee
from Mr. Mather, with the proper bond,
that it will prove no obstruction to navi-
cation.
1t will have draw 200 feet or more in
length, and besides affording means of
almost unlimited power, will have foot
paths, carriageways and tracks for irol-
ley cars. 1t will be great improvement
over the present crude means of COM
munication between the two countries at
this pOint-the ferry
The bill authorizing the construction
of this bridge was passed by the last
legislature, and is now in the hands of
Mayor Jewett for his approval. A hear
ing on it will be held before the mayor
next Tuesday.

BARLOW, Fla. May 31.-Tuesday night
Mrs. Timberlake, young widow who
lives with her father in the western por-
ton of this county, was assaulted by a
negro while in bed with her little daugh-
ter. Four negroes were arrested for the
crime. Last night they were taken
from the guards while en- route to this
place to be jailed, by half hundred
men, who wore thick black masks, and
carried Winchesters.
The masked men disappeared with the
four negroes into a swamp, where three
of them were killed and the fourth al
most beaten to death and ordered to
leave the country.
The crime for which the three negroes
were lynched was d peculiarly brutal
one. About o'clock Tuesday morning
Mrs. Tim berlake was awakened by a
matches, which were on table near her
bed. And as she arose a negro grasped
her by the throat.
In the struggle her night clothing was
torn to shreds and her lower limbs and
breast frightfully bruised The negro
kept his hand tightly clasped upon the
woman's throat and she soon lost con-
sciousness. About this time Mrs. linn
berlake's little daug hter. who was sleep
ing with her, awoke and began to cry
out, "Mamma, mamma" as if she had
an intuition that something was wrong
Mr.. Pipkin, the father of Mrs. Tim ber-
lake, whose room adjoined his daugh-
ter's, was aroused by the crying of the
child. He called to his daughter, but
received no reply. Alarmed by silence
he rushed to the door to find it locked.
He burst it in. and as he entered the
room he saw the negro crawling out Of
the window by which he had entered.
MIR Plpkin struck light and saw Mira.
Timberlake in q frightful condition.
She was nude and lying in blood which
had flowed from wounds inflicted by
her assailant The little girl who had
crawled upon the unconscious form of
her mother, was crying, and was
smeared with blood.
Soon Mrs. mberlake revived and
told the story of the assault
officers were notified, and the search for
the negro was begun. A rain had just
fallen and it was easy to track him. All
day Wednesday the trail was followed,
in which were found four negroes.
They were arrested, and the guards
started to this place with them. When the
guards reached q lonely portion of the
road masked men suddenly surrounded
them, and at the muzzles of Winchesters
ordered the negroes turned over to them.
The guards were outnumbered ten to one
and complied.
The masked men then disappeared
with them into the woods, where the
three of them were killed, and
the fourth beaten nearly to death. Not
member of the mob is known and the
details of the killing are not obtainable
The negro who was beaten has been
heard from in the western part of the
county. trying to make his way out He
is terribly frightened and refuses to talk
about what happened to his companions.

leads would be needed with very salts

order, at an early day, several cargoes of
Russian wheat The expense will be
great, but the commissioners are conf

the standpoint of the wheat grower"
Mr. Samuel T. Howe of the state board
