Mob Murders Grant Atterbury for an Al
legged Assault on His Sister-in-Law.
Sullivan, ILL.,, Feb. 13.-Grant After
bury was taken from the jail here at
1925 Wednesday morning, dragged to
the court house in his night robe and
hanged to tree.
At 1880 Tuesday night a mob of but
l.; men collected near the big school
They were fully armed and carried
sledge hammers. Few people knew
of the meeting and none thought After
bury would be lynched. The mob acted
quickly and marched directly from the
schoolhouse to the Jail, which was pro-
tected by the sheriff and one deputy.
Here the demand for Atterbury was re-
fused, and then the door was knocked
iu with sledge hammers.
The sheriff feigned resistance, ap-
parently, and fired his pistol in the air
In the meantime crowds of people be-
gan gathering about the Jail, but no at
tempt was made to help the sheriff.
After the sheriff fired his revolver the
scene was exciting and lively.

amid the bowls of the other prisoner
in the Jail, who were badly frightened
Atterbury resisted with all his
strength, and much trouble was ex-
perienced in getting him downstairs.
He fought Ike demon for his life
but he was finally overcome. When
the prisoner was brought out the eN-
element of the mob was fearfully in.
rense. Atterbury was then taken up to
the courthouse yard, two blocks away
There was perfect fusillade of pistol
shots. The mob seemed frenZied and
was beyond any control, and showed
no sympathy.
Under the tree to which he was hanged,
Atterbury began to realize fully that
he was to die. He pleaded piteously for
his life, amid cries of Hang him!
Hang him!" He protested his limo
cence.
This was the second attempt made Ivy
a mob to get Atterbury for the pLr-
pose of lynching him. The evidence
against him was very strong. The
morning after the crime ON Mrs. Roxy

were brought to the scene, and three
different times they went directly t.
the house of Grant Atterbury. Another
party was suspected, but has not yet
been found. Atterbury was a brother

AMERICAS GREATEST SEED GROW.
ERS.


ERS.
Thirty years ago when the Salzers
were conducting in a small but profit
able way, market garden and green
house business in La Crosse, Wis, they
little dreamed that within a third of
century they would be the leaders
in the seed growing and seed-selling
industry of America. The secret of
This phenomenal success was quality
liberality, push. Nothing in the world
advertises itself quicker and better,
and more lasting than quality and to
the superior merit of SalZer's northern
grown seeds; to their unusual life and
vigor and to their absolute surety of
growth, in conjunction with their
coupled with the great liberality of the
firm in the way of rare and many extras
to each order and push back of all,
has placed the firm in the van and en-
titles them to the proud distinction
of Americas greatest seed growers!
The production of rare vegetable sorts
and new farm seeds has long been a
great speciality with this company,
owning and operating many thousands
of acres of land. Their great eight
hundred! acre 4rial farm in South Da
kota was visited by thousands inter-
ested in higher farming, and all rail
roads gave half-fare rate within the
state to any wishing to see the farm.
The Salzers pay great attention to the
new grasses, clovers and fodder
plants, and their catalogue contains
The largest list of rare farm seeds
found in America.
A strong point of the John A. Salzer
Seed Co. is that they keep large stocks
of everything in the seed line on hand,
so that a customer ordering of them
IS always sure of getting what he or
ders.
A slight idea of the magnitude of this
FIRMS business can be gathered that
they issue probably the largest num-
berof catalogues of any American firm;
that they use over 100000 postage a
year, employ in the packing and dis
tributing of their seeds upwards of
six hundred hands and require for
their distributing warehouse over ten
acres of floor room.
A five cent postage stamp sent to the
John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis.,,
will bring you their great catalogue.

Decision in Favor OF the De Long Hook
and Eve

anu Eye
Judge Acheson, in the United States
Circuit Court at Pittsburgh, has jus,
rendered, in the case of Richardson &.
De Long Brothers VS.. Campbell & Smith
an important decision of great interest,
sustaining letters patent owned by
Richardson & De Long Brothers. which
were granted to Frank K. De Long for
bumped hook and eye, and enjoining
the defendants from selling the Golden
Spring" hooks and eyes.
The hooks dealt in by the defendants
were manufactured by the Golden
Spring Hook and Eye Company, of
Springfield, Mass. In these hooks the
positions of the straight and curved
portions of the De Long loop were re-
vLrsed. The Court held that this did
not void infringement, and directed a
decree to be entered for the plaintiffs.
The case, which was test one of
great Importance, was contested at
great length, and has been pending for
Almost two years.
Messrs. Richardson & De Long Broth

GIVE THEM WELCOME.

Tonight the representatives of the
National Democratic party will speak
at the Auditorium building in this city.
1t is the duty of every true Democrat
to be present to Welcome and listen
to the splendid men who still hold
aloft in this great crisis of our party
and our country, the standard of De-
mocracy as it has existed in America
since the foundation of the govern
ment. 1t is no ordinary obligation
that was laid upon Gen. Palmer and
Gen. Buckner by their selection as
president at this election. 1t is no
ordinary duty which they have ac-
cepted so bravely. There are not many
men in this country who, at an age
when they might fairly claim the right
TO rest after the labors of busy and
useful lives, would be willing to head
the forlorn hope that is to maintain
the honor of the Democratic name. 1t
is a gallant and a memorable sight, as
these veterans summon to their side
the silver Baal All honor to them
for their fidelity and their service to
great cause.
These men are in deadly and des-
perate earnest. They counted the cost.
They knew the sacrifices that must be
made They represent today the spirit
that has made this nation great and
the principles that have kept it free.
The platform on which they stand is
f1awless. It embodies all that the
human race, through thousands of
years, has found worthy in the art Of
government as administered by free
men. Not only in themselves, as men
who have lived by and for their con-
victions, as men who dare to lead
where any dare to follow, but as ex-
ponents of a political creed that is
eternal and invincible do these men
appeal to the true Democracy Of the
port. Every Palmer Democrat in St.
Paul, and there are many Of them,
must be at the Auditorium tonight.
Every man, whatever his party rela-
tions provided that he believes in the
maintenance of national honor and a
system of finance that is at once sound
and honest, should help give a royal
welcome to our distinguished guests.
Turn out and do honor to Palmer and
Buckner, the candidates of the party
that is destined to direct the future
of this nation in the way of a Democ-
racy pure and undefiled.

AS SERIOUS AS CUBA.
Spain Has Real War on Her Hands
I'm PhiIfpDfnes

VANCOUVER, B. c.. Oct 22.-The en-
press of Japan, which has Just arrived
from the Orient brings advices regard
ing the rebellion against the Spanish
in the philippines, confirming the pre-
vious reports that the Spaniards will
likely have another war as serious as
that in Cuba on their hands
Gov. Gen. Blanco realizes that with
the present force he is unable to quell
the revolt, and consequently is await
ing the arrival Of reinforcements before
striking a decisive blow Meanwhile
the rebels are doing a great deal OF
damage to property and numbering
and robbing the inhabitants The re-
beliion has spread to the provinces of
Manila, Bulacan Pampanga, NeuVa,
Tarlac, La Laguine, Cavite and Batan-
gas. An illustration of the atrocities
perpetrated by the rebels is furnished
| by an attack on large monastery in
Cavite province, which they have since
used as their headquarters. This was
one of the first places attacked. Mad
dened by the refusal of the padres to
yield the rebels, on getting inside, re-
sorted to the most fiendish tortures.
Several Of the padres were hanged to
trees and roasted to death by burning
kerosene oil. Others We're put to death
in an even more cruel manner, portions
of their bodies being cut off by piece
meal In the monastery the rebels
were well supplied with rifles. ammuni-
ton and food before the arrival of the
Spanish troops. It was reported that
the slip and arsenal at Cavite were in
the hands of the rebels, but this has
since been denied
At Manila everything was at a stand
still. The prisons were crowded
with prisoners and over 900 have been
deported to the Carolines BY torture,
the Spaniards have wrung many Sc
crets from the prisoners. A triangu-
lar mark cut in the arm is the badge
of membership of the revolutionary
society. The prison at Manila which
has earned for itself the title of Hblack
hole Of Manila" is an old fortress.
Prisoners are thrown into a dungeon,
entrance into which is gained by q
hole in the roof. The only ventilation
is through a barred opening underneath
the platform floor, and at high tide this
means of ventilation is totally closed
and large numbers of prisoners who
did not die from suffocation were found
to have torn each other in dreadful
manner in fits of insanity.

its inevitable elimination in the panic

BISMARCK ANALYZED.

Shortly after the publication of the
letter of Bismarck to Gov Culberson,
which, with it's mistranslation, was so
eagerly spread abroad by the support
ers of Mr.. Bryan, and by the latter
hailed as a conclusive argument for
his cause, ex-President Andrew D.
White, of Cornell university, addressed
the governor an open letter, in which
he analysed the letter of the ex-chan-
cellor Of the German empire, task
made easier by the experience
gained by Mr.. White while minister to
Germany. After making suitable COM
ment on the effort to give the letter a
translation, but acquitting the gov
ernor of any blame for that, he points
out that all the letter expresses is a
favorable view of bimetallism, and
nothing in favor of coinage at the pro-
posed ratio.
But, assuming that it may be inter
preted into an approval of unlimited
coinage at sixteen to one, Mr. White
proceeds to show that the governors
conf1ding trust in the advice of Bis
marck is possibly the most farcical
event in American history" Mr. White
was minister to Germany from 1879 to
1881, and his instructions, as well as
his personal inclinations, led him to
watch the movement Of German de-
monetization of silver closely Bis
directed the movements that changed
the empire from a silver to a gold
standard, and it was he who caused
the old silver coins to be sold for bull
lion on the markets until the amount
was reduced to a little over 800, 600, 900.
He thought SO little of silver thai, when
Germany got the contract of minting
silver for Egypt, Bismarck managed to
work off on that nation couple of mil
lions more of the silver that burdened
the treasury So far from favoring in
ternational bimetallism, the chancellor
utterly declined to take any part in
a general scheme of bimetallism with
out the cooperation of England, al

jointly and officially, united in urging
it upon his government. He even re-
fused to receive the expert sent by the
United States or to discuss the mat
ter with him.. Of this, Mr.. White says
he was directly and officially cogni-
zant''
Mr.. White reminds the governor that
Bismarck is first and foremost a Ger
man patriot, always on the watch for
anything that will aid his country,
and equally for anything that will in
jure it. This made him favor the gold
standard This made him accept the
pretense of trichinae to exclude our
pork, and it is this Mr. White judges
that makes him willing to see the
United States provide a market for the
idle silver of the German treasury by
opening our minis to the free coinage
of silver. He turns the. tables very
neatly by asking Gov. Culberson why
if he regards Bismarck as SO sound a.
counselor in finance. he does not
equally accept his industrial ideas and
advocate a protective tariff. Finally.
he suggests that if the governor thinks
the ex-chancellor is inspired by love
of democracy, he might inquire of his
fellow citizen, the brother of the emf
nent Liberal, Lasler, and he might re-

To the Editor OF the Globe.
May | inquire who is the G can
didate for governor? Would a vote for
Clough mean an Endorsement of disreputable
machine politics? am a Palmer Democrat,
but am undecided whether to vote for Lind
or Clough. "A Palmer Democrat
Farbaut. Mimi, Oct 10, 1896.
The G lob has no candidate for
governor this year. There is no Demo-
crat in nomination for that office, either
of the Palmer or Bryan or any other
variety The choice lies between two
men, both of whom have been thor
oughgoing Republicans all their lives.
We do not see that there is any duty
left for consistent Democrats under
these circumstances, except to choose
what they may consider, on personal
grounds, to be the less of two evils.
1t is easy for any man to estimate the
reasons for and against the reelection
of Gov. Clough He has stood at the
head of the state government for the
last two years, and the record of them
is open for anybody to read. Extrava-
CANT panegyrics and eXtravagant de-
nunciations are both the products Of
partisan feeling. Our correspondent,
having lived in Minnesota during this
time, ought to be as we'll able to judge
as anybody if the reelection of Gov.
Clough would or would not be an in
dorsement of machine politics. We are
bound to say, in common fairness, that
his administration has not been marked
by any public scandals. AS to the rest
of it, it does not require pre- eminent
craftsmanship to fill the executive Of
flee in Minnesota
| Mr.. John Lind, the other candidate,
has been all his life thoroughgoing
and consistent Republican. 1t is a
matter of pride with him, we under
stand, that he has not. in any par
ticular, changed the views that he al
ways held. He stands today exactly
where he stood when he represented a
Minnesota district in congress for the
Republican party. He is a high pro-
tectionist, a believer in the paternal-
istic scheme of government, and has a
logical right to contend that his advo-
cacy of free silver, which is not of re-
cent date, is more consistent with his
protection principles than opposed to
them. Mr.. Lind's nomination was Sc
cured, by the way, by the efforts of
boiling free silver Republicans, while
behind him there stands the solid body
| of the Peoples party of Minnesota.
Personally, he is man of high char
acter and of admirable qualities.
It will appear to our correspondent,
from this summary, that there is moth
| ing for a Democrat to do in this state
election but to determine which of
these two gentlemen would make the
more. capable executive, and which of
the two factions into which Republi-
canism is divided in this state would
harm the state least by it's success.
Can we expect larger development and
| greater prosperity by putting into
Clough or those that urge the election
! of Mr.. Lind? A Palmer Democrat can
| feel no personal enthusiasm for either,
and is obliged to reject uncompromis-
ingly the principles which each repre-
sents He should weigh all the attend
ant circumstances deliberately and in
diligently and make his choice accord
ingly.
