This great, fundamental truth, recog-
nized by the political economists, sooiolo-
gists and practical statesmen in all
lands of culture, must be taken from the
sphere of theoretical speculation and
practically applied should we be spared
from revolution and war, which would
end in sure retrogression OF civiliza-
ton.
l hope that it will be the destiny of
the powerful commonwealth of the
United States and it's intelligent, brave
and industrious people to take the happy
initiative in this great question of mod

Jimmie, and rs he rolled into the gutter
and up against n curbstone he was pounc-
ed upon by dozen of his colleagues and
for few minutes Bank alley resounded
with the sounds of the one sided fray.
Jimmie's pockets were turned out with
dexterous rapidity, and then De Kid was

 = The mob was composed of between 9oo and 1000 men and were as deter mined set as ever came together. They proceeded to the jail. battered down the door and took the men with. out any trouble.
 Although the jail was we'll guarded. there was no use for the officers tn make any resistance, except by per. snasion. against such a determined set of men, and to make matters short. it was dangerous to resist by any display of arms.
 At 8:45 o'clock the firebell tapped twice and two pistol shots were fired. 1t was like match in a powder keg. Squads of men broke for the iail. com. ing from all directions. It seemed that they came from out of the earth.
 '"The Kid' was hanged first and then followed Crawford. Crawford is well known here, but "The Kid" is 0 stranc- CT and just before he was swung up said his name was Younger Lewis and that his parents lived at Neosha, Mo.
 "The Kid" died cursing God and man and was nervy to the last. but Crawford weakened and pleaded fol his life.
