Narrowly Escaped Lynehing.

GLASGOW, KY, Dec. "a. A desperate
but futile attempt was made yesterday to
lynch Booker Steinberger, charged with
the killing of his cousin, Anna Belle Stein
berger, whom he had ruined. The body
planned to attack the jail last night and
the sheriff, being unarmed, rushed the
prisoner to the depot in a closed carriage.
The mob learned of the transfer few
minutes later and stormed the train, but
tho engineer pulled out and Steinberger
was landed safely In Bowling Green.

VENEZUELACOMNISSI0N
None Of the Members Have Yet
Been Selected.
DISCUSSING THE WAR RUmoRs.

President Roosevelt, Of the New York Po-
lice Board. Hopes There WIN be No Isack-
down, but Others Have No Fear Of Open
Hostiiitics.
WASHINGTON, Dec. e4.-Now that con-
gress has acted upon the presidents sug-
gestions in authorizing tho appointment
Of the Venezuelan commission to locate
the boundary line between British Guiana
and Venezuela, and the subject is again
one for executive treatment, 1t is believed
that Secretary Olney will formally ac-
knowledge the receipt of Lord Salisburys
two notes and-perhaps take occasion, as
matter OF courtesy, formally to advise the
British government OF the course which
this government intends to pursue, sup
plementing 1t, perhaps, by a request to be
put In possession Of evidence within the
control of the British foreign office re-
specting the boundary line.
Three or four Of the officers OF the cab
met were engaged in conference at inter
walls yesterday. The impression Is that,
In addition to talking over the financial
conditions, they are interested in the per-
sonnel Of the Venezuelan commission. 1t
Is believed that the president already Is in
communication with some Of the persons
whom he would be pleased to have under
take this work, but in advance Of their ac-
ceptance Of membership their names will
not be made public, and consequently the
composition of the commission is purely
speculative at this time. There is no con-
firmation Of the report that Chief Justice
Fuller is to be president Of the commits
sion, while 1t is authoritatively announced
that the name of Ex- President Harrison
has not been mentioned connection
with the commission.
Representative Beach, Of Ohio, today In
troduced bill authorizing the president
to call an international conference OF
American republics to meet in this city
within one year from the approval of tho
act for formal acceptance and declaration
Of the Monroe doctrine as principle Of
international law.
Apparently without any definite author
itative origin, the rumor has gained cur
rency that the commission will consist Of
one Democrat one Republican and dis
tinguished military or naval officer. Lieu
tenant General Schofield and Rear Ad-
miral Walker have been mentioned In con-
nection with this rumor, but Admiral
Walker could not well serve If a salary
were attached to the place, in view of the
recent law of congress which prevents Of
fcers Of the government from drawing
two federal salaries synchronously. This
provision would not disbar General Scho.

Eis claims for Small Lo...

LINCOLN, Neb., Ex-Governor Holcomb
yesterday received letter from Secretary
olney inclosing the request of the British
ambassador for s4e,0 600 growing out of the
assault Of the English family Of Dawsons,
in Nebraska, by the McCarty outlaw gang.
The Dawsons claim their property was
damaged to that extent by the alleged out
law band. The claim in Nebraska is re-
garded as not only ridiculous, but absurd.
ALI the property the Dawsons had at the
time was contained in small wagon
drawn by two bronohos, and the outfit wss
probably worth 300.

Your issue of 10Th had an article
signed Taxpayer that is causing
undeserved ill feeling. The wri ter
of this copied Mr.. Marshall's orig

per month for a team would be
better for the city than $500, or
$4,000 cheaper than $3.50 for a cart
per month. That this is not entire
ly the exact difference has been
shown by Street Commissioner Mr..

that any number OF teams Mr.. NJ.
furnishes would have to be paid
even on a rainy day when they did
not work.
| understood Mr.. Marshall to say
that further than to contract to
furnish the teams he would have
nothing to do with them, that they

There is one medicine which
every family should be provided
with. We refer to Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. When it is kept at
hand the severe pain of burn or
scald may be promptly relieved
aad the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflamma-
ton sets in, which insures a cure
in about one-third the time other
wise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate atten-
ton, before the parts become swol-
len, and when Chamberlain's Pain
Balm is applied it will heal them
without matter being formed, and
without leaving a scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night.
A piece of flannel dampened with
this liniment and bound on over
the seat of pain, will cure lame
back or pain in the side or chest in
twenty-four hours. 1t is the most
valuable, however, for rheuma,
tism. Persons afflicted with this
disease will be delighted with the
prompt lelief from pain which il
affords, and it can be depended
upon to effect a complete cure. Fol

For two hundred years, Russi
has coveted the possession Of
: Constantionple and has schemet
and plotted to SOW discomfort ant
discord among the people Of thu
outlying provinces Of Turkey.
1t is likely, if the truth coulC
be ascertained, that Russia hal
secretly jagged on the Armenian
Christians to outrage the predju
dices of the fanatical MahomedanS
and embroil them in war.
IL England Interposes in the
domestic affairs of Turkey, she
will be stopped from raising any
objection to Russia doing the same
thing in the future. That will be
a great diplomatic victory for
| Russia
By interfering In the domestic
affairs of Turkey for the protec-
tion of the Armenian Christians,
England will concede the right of
other nations to interfere on be-
half of the Irish. "What is sauce
for the goose is sauce for the gan
der"
The Irish have been treated
more unjustly and oppressively
by England than the Armenian
Christians have been by the Ma
hommedans and are more entitled
to foreign interposition in their
favor than are the Christians of
Armenia.
En- PEASANT, what shadow of
right have Christian nations to
force Christianity on nations
which do not care to relinquish
their traditional religion? We
send out missionaries to the fol-
lowers of Buddha, Brahma, Con.
fucius and Mahomet, and in case
these fanatical missionaries
arouse the prejudices of these
people and provoke them to VIC.
lence, Christian nations raise a
hue and cry and make war on
China, and Turkey. That was the
stake for which the fanatical mis-.
sionaries played.
Christ declared his religion was
not to be propagated by the
sword, and his followers of modern
times loudly boast of this fact,
but they still use the sword to
force religion on nations. They
send out missionaries and they
lay the train and apply the match
to it which leads to armed inter-
ference.
Mahommetans,C onfucians, Budd-
hists, have just as much right to
send out missionaries to Christian
nations in order. to convert them,
as the latter have to spread
Christianity.
Should Mahometan missionaries
invade Christian country and
preach polygamy and persuade
their converts to take half dozen
wives apiece, they would be
lynched and their converts sent
to the penitentiary.
The Bible says Abraham, Jacob,
David, and Solomon were poly
gamlsts. Christians have one
wife, and very frequently a mis-
tress on the outside, but they put
down polygamy among the Nor
mons and would lynch Mahome-
tan missionaries should they
preach polygamy in this coun-
try.
Let every nation have the sys-
tenn of religion which it prefers
and which suits their people, and
we will not have half the num-
Der of wars.
The alleged outrages in Armenia
were no doubt grossly exaggerated.
The jackson Hole" massacre
shows how these things are manu-
featured.
