a Stir In Illinois.

STREATOR, ILL.,, November 9.-The
announcement that Cinnamon would be
placed in the mines of the Northern Illi-
nois coal-felds has caused an i'm
mense amount of excitement hereS
and a call has been issued for full
conventionsof the district miners to be
held next Wednesday afternoon in this
city. Every craft will send delegates,
and In the mean time the various organi-
cations win get together and take action.
1t is understood that Wednesdays
meeting will be of tremendous Importance
to the craft throughout the State,
as it is claimed that IL Cinnamon are
allowed TO go to work here and else
where 1t will only be matter of time
when mines employing that kind of
labor will be able to undersell those en-
ploying skilled hands. and thus the price
will be again forced down. The situa-
ton here Is looked upon by business
men as most serious. The Chinese ques-
ton has put an entirely new phase upon
1t. 1t means to Streator alone the dis
placement of about three thousand men.

Mr.. Gage looks for other discoveries In

the fact that many men rushed In there

The stock Of the others was getting very

Plan for Keeping the schools Open.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:

There is one plan by which the public
schools may be kept open which seems
to have occurred TO no one as yet 1t
is to let every parent contribute small
amount-say $1-to help tide over this
critical period. And why not? Thou
sands enjoy the benefits Of the public
schools for years without contributing
a dollar to their support. One would
think that anybody would be willing 10
give 81 once during an educational
course OF eight years. The taxpayers
are sufficiently burdened. Let the citi-
zens in general, and individually, come
to the relief of the schools. The plan
mentioned above would distribute the
burden so that II would be hardly felt.
BY all means, do not let the schools
be closed. r.

THE DREYFUS CASE
A Newspaper Reporter Digs Up the
Real Truth

PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE Intransigeant
announces that it has ascertained the
real story Of the Dreyfus affair." which
is as follows:
Dreyfus, during the anti-Semitic cam
paign, determined to leave the French
army, and wrote to Emperor William
asking to be admitted to the German
army with the same rank he held. The
emperor replied through the German
embassy that it would be preferable for
Dreyfus to serve Germany in the posi-
tion he then occupied. He would be re-
garded as a German officer on a mission
to France and in event of war would
take his rank in the German army. This
Dreyfus accepted
The Intransigeant says it is informed
by the military attache that before the
arrest of Dreyfus eight letters were
stolen from the German embassy. Count
Won Munster, the German ambassador
to France, called upon NJ. Dupuy, the
premier, to restore the letters, declar-
ing that if his demands We're not COM
piled with he would leave France within
twenty-four hours. The letters We're
restored, but were first photographed.
The photographs We're submitted at the
trial of Dreyfus for court martial. Seven
of the letters originated from Dreyfus
and the eighth from Emperor William.

her the next morning, May I'd, within

covered evidence, the defense has prac-
tically decided to abandon the kenosha
alibi used in the first trial. The correct
ness Of the statements was attested TO

that the same plan was perfected during

NOW THE NEGRO ISDEAD
MUCH DOUBT Is EXPRESSED OF
ELS GUILT
Even the Father Of the Murdered
Family Considered the Identi-
fication Very Unceratin

BROOKHAVEN, Miss, Dec 11.-Ad
Brown Smith and her four children in
Lawrence county on Wednesday, and
the subsequent lynching of the sup
posed murderer were received today.
After capturing Charles Lewis, the al
legged murderer, the mob placed him
alongside of several other negroes ane,
asked the little girl, who was spared by
the murderer, to pick out the one who
killed her mother. She at once pointed
to Charles Lewis. This strong evidence
to the mob made it difficult for Sheriff
Gazzell to induce the people to turn
Lewis over to him for safekeeping. II
assured them he would have the negro
at Bankston Ferry the next morning for
trial. Upon arrival there two hundred
men, armed with shotguns and VIM
chesters. quickly surrounded the officers
and insisted that they give up the
prisoner. Brown Smith, the man whose
family was murdered, pleaded with the
crowd to be patient, and not to rush
hastily into a thing they might regret.
He said that while he did not doubt his
child's word, yet she was so young that
there might be chance of her being
mistaken.
After parleying for some time. the
mob. under the leadership of a few de-
termined men, made rush for the ne
gro and succeeded in getting him from
the deputies after hard struggle. They
then placed a rope around the negro's
neck, put him on a horse and drove him
under a tree. The halter was fastened
to a limb and the horse driven from un-
der the poor wretch, leaving him to
strangle to death. He denied his guilt
to the last.

When the crash came the two en-

moment returned to their post and
backed the engines so the bodies of the
men could be recovered. The cause OF
the accident is not clear, though it is
attributed in part to a dense fog which
prevailed at the time. The engine which

a box car down the track, and when it
stopped the other engine ran into it, CIV
