to re rate insurance figures. He begins
at Aberdeen but whether the rates are

1t is highly probable that the new
mutual companies started in South
Dakota are cutting in on the business
OF the old line companies and that they
feel the necessity of lowering p:ofte.
They could afford to carry insurance for
about half, so far as South Dakota Is
concerned.

DON'T DRINK COLD DRINKS.

"A word should perhaps be said as to
the EMBELLISHMENTS of the extremely
cold water, tea, lemonade and other
liquids, which are so extremely used
throughout the United States" writes
Mrs. S. 7. Rorer in the Ladies' Home
Journal. These cold drinks reduce
the temperature of the stomach there
by checking digestion, and for this rea-
son should be avoided during or i'm
mediately after meals. 1t cannot be
denied that one may become topper on
non-intoxicants, and that it is very
easy to create desire for frequent
draughts of any pleasant, cold drink.
Where perspiration flows freely the eff
feet Is less serious, but in most cases
the free use of cold draughts disturbs
the stomach, and it would be much bet
ter If they were entirely given up.
Teach your little ones, as we'll as your
self, to be satisfied with water at tenn
perature of fifty degrees, and to limit
the amount of sweet drinks taken. In
the evening, and between meals one
might indulge now and then in a glass
of lemonade, orangeaue or current
punch. For tennis-party the various
mixtures like Oriental punches will APP
pease the thirst, and iced chocolate
served at luncheon is certainly an
agreeable food. as we'll as a pleasant
drink. Cafe frappe comes under the
same head"

Cincinnati, July 16.-The CONNER
cial Tribune's Florence (Ala.) special
says: Near West Point, Tenn, Tues
day, Miss Rena Williams was found
brutally murdered in the woods near
her home. Thursday afternoon An
thony Williams, her murderer and raw
isher, was captured near Pruitton and
at night he eXpiated his crime in the
streets of West Point in the presence
o. 500 people. Williams was riddled
with bullets and burned in the streets,
his body being burned to ashes. Be-
fore shot was fired the negro was
knocked down and stamped to death.
Then the crowd fell back and those
who had pistols fired volley after vol
ley at him. The crowd then gathered
wood and, building fire over him,
watched the CHASTITY scene until the
murderer was only ashes. For two
days and nights 500 armed men secured
the country for miles. Several times
posses were within shooting distance
of him, but he escaped. He was cap
tured within sixteen miles of the
scene of his crime. Williams was
first traced to Iron City where he
traded the young lady's belt to ne
gro woman for a nights lodging. He
was later seen at Pruitton and several
shots were fired at HIM there. All
traces of him were lost until Thurs
day when searchers came upon him
of ID, 70 bnI
been in the woods without food for two
days and running most of the time so
that he was exhausted. The crowd
quickly took him back to the scene of
his brutal crime, tied him to the same
tree that he had tied his victim to when
he outraged her, and there gave him
torturing death. The mob was COM
posed Of most substantial men. The
victim was shortly to have been mar
ried to young man in Nashville. Her
intended husband came down from
Nashville Thursday and was at West
Point to meet the crowd of avengers
and assist them. The young lady left
home early Tuesday morning to pick
berries. When she did not return for
dinner friends went in search of her.
She was found dead and tied to a sap
ling with a leather strap around her
neck. One of her eyes had been
gouged out and in her tightly clutched
hands were leaves and grass. All
around the ground showed that a ter
rble struggle had taken place. When
the negro was caDturpd his face and
crmS were terribly scratched and torn"
