ARRESTED.
A Mob Trys to Lynch the Prisoners on

A Mob Trys to Lynch the PRISONERS on
Their Way Here to Jail.
From Thursday's Daily.
Frank Boardman and Lewis Bar

ed Tuesday and tried before Squire
Hill, for stealing. They are sup
posed to be the ones that stole the
hog from Gen. McCausland a few
nights ago. Constable Carlisle

ers Tuesday night, We're stopped
by a mob when they reached Ar
buckle creek, Just above Hender-
son. The prisoners, however,
fought the mob off and got away
They spent the night under the
river bank in hiding, and yester-
day they went to the Sargent of
Henderson and gave themselves up
and the Sheriff was telephoned for,
when he went over and took charge
of them and brought them over
and committed them tojail.
The mob had been organized on
Tuesday afternoon, knowing that
the officers and prisoners wonld be
down little after dark, and they
had gone up to Arbuokle creek to
await them. The leaders of the
mob are known as we'll as all the
members, and warrants will be
sworn out to-day for their arrest.
The good people of Henderson
are very much worked up over the
action of tho mob. 1t was tho in
tention of the mob otake these.

as several bundles of switches were
found i'll the road.
1t looks to us like this thing
should be thoroughly Investigated,
and the ones that are mixed up in
it should be given the full penelty
of the law. We have laws to pun
ish the guilty, and no few mon
have any right to take it into their
own hands.
Whether the boys are guilty or
not, it does not give any people the
right to. handle them in the man
ner this mob was proposing to do.

We Are Solid.

IT is 1000 miles across the ocean
from the nearest seaport of any
European power to any seaport of
the United States. Our country
has seventy millions of people, and
seventy billions of accumulated
wealth. So great has been ourpros-
perity, because of 102 years of peace
and only 5 of war, so free have we
been from the strifcs which have
exhausted the resources of Europe,
that the taxing power of the Gov
ernment has not yet touched for
any purpose the real and personal
property represented iii these
seventy thousand millions of dollars
of accumulated wealth. According
to the census of 1890, we have
100000 fighting men. The OK
perience of the civil war has shown
that from them could be drafted,
mobilized, and instructed in three
months three million of soldiers.
All the Transports and navies of the
world could not land upon our
shores an army which could march
100 miles from the seaport, or ever
return to their ships.
With all the world in arms
against us, the vast interior of our
continent except in its industrial
and economic phases, would know
nothing of the trouble and never
see foreign uniform except on II
prisoner of war. Secure in our iso-
lation, supreme in our resources,
unequalled in our reserves, and free
from dangerous neighbors, we oc-
cupy among the nations of the
globe position so exalted and safe
that to compare us with other
countries would be absurd. The
statesman or politician who really
fears for the safety of this country
is fool. The statesman or politi-
clan who does not fear (because he
knows better,) and who yet preach
es of our weakness and our vulner-
ability, is demagogue, and he in
suits the intelligence of the Amer
ican people. This great reservoir
of force for all purposes the
American Republic this might
lest engine of war and most bone
ficent power for peace on the face
of the globe, can extend the right
hand of fellowship to warning
brethren across the Atlantic and
promulgate with honorand dignity
scheme for an international tri-
bunal, and lead in the movement.

Special Correspondence.
Your special correspondent from
Letart, no doubt, thinks himself a
very bright and shining star in the
armament of journalism, and seems
to take special pride in belittling
our little village.
We have no quarrel with Letart,
w. Va, and are glad to note the
monumental enterprise displayed
by the people of that place, but
there is no reason under the sun
why your correspondent should as
sumo such an air of belligerency
towards the village that has made
it possible for our West Virginia
namesake to exist.
Your correspondent says there
are number of stores doing good
business. We notice in all of
them, mo Loofng Allowed" that
settles it-any town where such
notices are required is one
hundred years behind the times.
They used to have such notices
over here years ago, but it was
many years ago. Such notices are
relics of an antiquated age, and
such stores as can be found i'll Le-
tart, Ohio, have no occasion to
use them. Our people are always
at work, and have no time for
loafing. The necessity for the
signs show sad state of affairs in
our enterprising (?) village across
the river.
There are two M. DIS. at this
place and small well-kept ceme-
tory bearing testimony y
to the skill of the doctors!! "a
well-kept cemetery" We do not
believe the physicians of Letart.
w. Va. want any such advertising,
and if they have had anything to
do with the cemetery, they would
not want it talked of in the papers.

The TIrht Sleere.

Sleeves are in transition state
even more than skirts. With the
first news from Paris of tight
sleeves the woman with pretty
shaped arm hastens to have her
new spring suit show that she is
acquainted with up-to-date styles.
Those with arms like pipe-stems,
who have rejoiced in the balloon
sleeves, do not show the same
eagerness to change. just at
present sleeves are any size and
any shape.
They are fanciful or plain, ac-
cording to purpose of each dress.
The dropping puff and the elbow
puff jostle against the plain coat
and the bishop. However varied
the sleeve, it is quite certain that
the big balloon has had it's day,
and that those now being made
are sort of compromise, all of
which means that the tight sleeve
in Paris is fact.
The bishop sleeve is a sleeve
noted in the summer shirt waists,
which fill so many display win
dows just now. The very thin
fabrics used for many of these
would indicate that in way the
shirt waist is to serve more
Cressy purpose this summer than
ever before. The daintiest of these
waists are made of very choice
transparent linens, as they are
termed, being in reality sheer
grass linens.

HER FIRST BALL.

She Expected Too Much and Was Of
Course Disappointed.
Why does Bella look so sad today
Why has she taken no pains with her
hair, and why does she sit with her
cheek upon her hand and heavy lidded
eyes that seem just ready for tearsp Has
che had bad news? Has she lost her best
friend2 What has happened?
Oh, nothing, only that she went to
her first ball last night and does not
care when the world comes to an end in
consequence.
Did che have no partnersp Was she
not asked to dance or taken to supper?
Did she play wallfower and feel neg
lected?
On the contrary. she danced a good
deal. She was provided with much
more to eat than was really good for her
at midnight.
Her mother is Of the opinion that she
had very nice time. All the other ma
irons told her how we'll Bella looked.
But, as for the girl herself, she threw
her lovely white slippers into corner
and flung her ball dress over chair be-
fore retiring. She mentally repeated the
verses beginning, "This world is all Q
fieeting show" and burst into food
of tears as finish.
This morning she is quite ready to
abjure society forever. even to shut her.
self up in q convent for life and never
think Of anything but her soul and other
little things like that again.
In those novels dear to Bella's heart,
when the heroine-always debutante
-"enters the room" "a murmur Of
admiration" arises and follows her as
she passes through the glittering throng,
She is quite unconscious Of her own
beauty and never dreams that she has
aroused this enthusiasm and looks about
her with the Innocent gaze Of child
and meets a pair Of dark eyes fixed upon
her face and wonders why her heart be-
gins to beat 80 wildly.
Now, Bella, Of course, Is not 80 fool.
fish as to consider herself beautiful, but
she did rather expect to find herself un-
conscious Of her charms-just little,
you know. Quite low murmur would
have satisfied her, but there was nc
murmur at all. No one seemed to be
aware of her arrival, except a few peo-
pie whom she knew already and despis'
cd accordingly. So that when the young
men asked for dances she was not IN
the least pleased, and when new mer
were introduced they were only some
commonplace brother or cousin Of some
acquaintance. Everybody brought vi
those stupid creatures, saying they had
determined Bella should have o goot
time at her first ball.
A good time Was that having good
time at balla Then she prayed tha
she might never be asked to one again.

sUPERsTITloNs ABOUT TEA.

Quaint Ideas Concerning the Cup That
Cheers, but Does Not Inebriste.
There arc probably more quaint super
stitions woven about tea than about any
thing else in the world. II you put
cream In your cup before the sugar, 1t
will ''cross your love" so you must be
very careful If, while the tea is being
made, the lid, removed TO pour in the
water, is forgotten to be replaced, il is
the sure sign Of the approaching arrival
Of stranger.
II tea stalk floats in the cup, il is
called beau" and when this is seen
unmarried women should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and then
hold the spoon upright In the center Of
the cup.
II the "beau" is attached to the spoon
and clings to it, he will be sure to call
very shortly, IL not on that very even.
ing, but IL the stalk goes to the side of
the cup, he will not come. In some
places this is also said to denote the
coming Of stranger, and il the stalk
is soft the newcomer will be lady; IL
tough, gentleman.
II you want to know how many years
will elapse before you are married,
balance your spoon on the edge of your
CUP, first noting that 1t is perfectly dry,
fill another spoon with tea, and holding
II above the balanced spoon let the
drops of tea gather to the tip of the
spoon and gently fall into the bowl Of
the one below. Count the drops. Each
one stands for year.
II the cluster of small air bubbles
formed by the sugar collect and remain
In the center Of the cup, it is sign of
fair weather. II they rush to the sides,
there will be rain very shortly. Phil.
