WORD comes from Georgetown that II
mob of excited citizens made "a bold at
tempt to seize James NJ, Gordy, who is on
trial for his life, to lynch him, yesterday
afternoon after court had adjourned and
same very near accomplishing their pur-
pose and cheating the State out Of first
class hanging This cruel murder and tie
prisoners numerous misdoings have SO
worked upon the feelings of the people,
that they came near committing one Of
as serious breaches of the peace ns q
good citizen could possibly commit There
10 no need Of the people attempting to in
terpret the law, as the prisoner will be
given a fair and impartial trial and the
charge, II proven. will be expedited on the
gallows. Had the mob moved Ave seconds
earlier, they would have secured Gordy.
Governor Tunnel was asked for the mill.
tie to keep the mob from the prisoner.
Beginning today be will have his meals
served TO him in the court room Never
before has the town been worked.up to
such pitch and 1t would not be hard to
90 work upon the feelings OF the people
that Gordy would have to be guarded by
che militia to keep him from the fury of
the people

prang's Easter Publications.

This years Easter Publications of
Messrs. l. Prang 81 Co, of Boston, are
unusually beautiful Among tho hand
soonest booklets Is Golden Daffodis,"
which has unique GOV er plate. Ore end
of the silk ribbon, which fastens together
the five large plates is passed in and out
through the cardboard on the cover in
stalks of graceful daffodils and the effect
is very pleasing.
'Fleur de Lis, with its royal blossoms
in splendid array across the cover, is book
to delight all lovers of the iris. The beauty
of design and richness Of color which one
meets on every plate could hardly be sur.
passed. Quotations from Shakespeare,
Longfellow, Shelley, Giles Fletcher and
Charlotte Smith, regarding this lovely
flower, are found upon the six largo plates
that make up the book.
Blossom Time" with Its cover pictur-
ing peach-spray shedding It's delicate
blossoms, with the title In lilac outlined
with gold, Is particularly inviting
Easter Morn, poem by Josephine
Rand, illustrated by Katherine Common is
Il charming little booklet
Morning Glories" is u little booklet de-
signed by Katherine Conner, and, as its
naneindicates is devoted exclusively to
the charming morning glory. "Tbe
Legend Of the Rose" This exquisite

most flttingy illustrated bv the author
with original designs of roses.
Many OF the Easter Cards are singularly
beautiful, and deserve au especial word Of
praise on account Of their daintiness of
design and their true colorng
The "Violet' cards are among the
prettiest.
Morning Glory" cards slow the pink,
purple and white bells in pleasing variety
while Daisies" and Forget me-nots"
lend themselves gracefully TO the artist.
and are treated in an unusually quaint
and artistic manner.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL a, 1907.
The Bonnet Nuisance.

II Is not only frequenters of theatres
who complain Of the hats worn by many
iadies as being very Objectionable, but
Also those who attend some Of our churches
Only a day or two ago we heard a lady
complain that she failed to become inter-
ssted In tho sermon in one of our fashion
able churches, because the hat of the lady
who sat In front Of her obstructed her
Fiew Of the preacher. Whether her feath.
lrs incommoded the ladies who sat In tho
rear Of the complainant we arc not pre-.
pared 10 say. 1t Is too bad, however, that
ladies attending church should, through
their desire of display, interfere with the
enjoyiaent Of other attendants who go to
hear the gospel preached and not for the
purpose of showing their fine hats and
sther adornments. Not only the members
n the congregation who sit in tho rear
pews have cause to complain, but the
minister also, as his influence Is lessened
II his sermon cannot be properly enjoyed.
The ladies should wear hats OF modest di.
nensions and preserve a character for
,iety rather than one for love Of display.
fhe ministers might pro6tably enlarge on
he old text Pride goeth before destruc-
iion, and a naughty spirit before fall"
The mantua makers should keep within
modest bounds, or our Legislators may
!eei 1t TO be necessary to regulate the bon
acts by suitable laws, somewhat similar
10 those enacted in some Of our Western
States.

WE ARE in favor of high license TO reg
nlate the liquor business, but moi local
pption. The money the Stats deriv es
from those who sell liquor amounts to
nearly one hundred thousand dollars Il
year, which, if the State was deprived OF
would make quito u deficit, that would
have to BIO raised by an increased tax ratio
OH property. Property has about all the
burdens it can stand at the present time,
without making them any moro oncrous.
The extremists should go carefully, for
they are troadlng on dangerous grounds
which may be the means of bankruptlng
the State Treasury. Still, II the majority
Df our citizens want local option, we sup
pose they will insist on having 1t. Viii

revenue, the greater part Of which comes
irom the liquor interest IN our city. The

prevented the sale of intox icants Hun

And not the use of this traffic appears to be
