Governor Franklin was seen by CIR
IzEN reporter this morning at the resi-
dencs of Mr.. B. NJ. Jacobe, where be il
guest during his stay in Tucson.
The governor at once impresses one
with his genielity, sincerity, and broad
minded views regarding the rights Of
humanity. Relative to the university,
be expressed not only admiration, bul
surprise at the proportions already as
sumed; satisfaction with the work done,
and confidence in its future.
"If the people, though poor" said the
governor, "are taxed for the upbuilding
Of educational institutions, which are 81
conducted as tc secure the very greatest
benefits to the young, there Is no disat-
isfoction. Ii Is only when the tax levy

and the proceeds squandered, then b

"University;" an institute to which all
Arizousns will point with pride. and
which will give Tucson as wide a repu-
cation as 40 educational center, as thai
now enjoyed by Ann Arbor. Ten years
will witness the addition OF law and
medical departments, and many other
features equally attractive add necee-
ssry. The future is most promising for
the university"
Governor Franklin is a deliberate
speaker, pleasantly spproschable, and
thoroughly Interested in Arizona's well
fare. He will leave for Phoenix tonight,
and will deliver the Fourth OF July ora

Tor your Protection Catarrh Cures or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Mercury or
1odide of POtassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t starts in the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat.
Cold in the head causes excessive flow of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head, roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. Theremedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's

STRUNG UP BY NOW
Is Probably the Fate of Black BurIy Brute in Columbus-Fifteen Hundred ~
 Men in It.

Columbus, Ga, May 2S.-Mrs. Bryan the young wife of MT. Howard Bryan, a highly respected farmer of this (Musco- gee) county, was outraged by a burly negro about o'clock this morning. The lady was alone at her home and while attending to some. domestic affairs she was suddenly seized by the brute, who had entered unawares. She struggled desperately, but was unable to prevent the fiend from accomplishing his pur- pose. The lady fired at the negro as he ran off, which brought her husband to the house. MT. Bryan came at once to the city and a posse was organized and went in search of the brute.
 The county was secured for him with out success until late this afternoon a negro informed the sheriff that he saw Jesse Slayton, who resides in Columbus. leaving the Bryan residence about the time the crime was committed. An off, ficer went to Slayton's home and placed him under arrest.ss It was found that he had changed clothing since morning, the apparel that had been discarded corre- spending exactly. with those worn by Mrs. Bryan's assailant. He also told a number of conflicting stories. He was lodged in jail and Mrs. Bryan sent for. As soon as the lady confronted the pris- oner she identified him most positively. The news of the crime, the capture and Identification of Slayton spread rapidly over the country, and at il o'clock mob of several hundred men came into town for the purpose of iynching the negro. A meeting was to have been held on the court house square, but on account of heavy downpour of rain a blaming mill near the jail was selected instead.
 There are about 1500 men now assemble arranging the preliminaries. It is quite probable that tomorrow's sun will shine upon the carcass of the black brute as 1t swings from @ telegraph pole.

 Colonel Hall said there is but one crime blacker than the one with which the defendant is charged and that is~the crime committed by the railroad em- ployes in bribing Criswell to confess to a crime that tswould cause him to hang.
 When Criswe1l was placed on the stand he said that he had confessed to wreck ing the train because he had been told that Tom Shaw, who is also to be tried for the crime, was telling that he did it. and the parties to whom he confessed told him that if he was convicted they would see that the governor would give him his liberty. Criswell's confession in effect was that Tom Shaw forced him at the point of a shotgun to remove that rail that, wrecked. the two trains.
 It is thought the case will go to the jury tomorrow.
