GRAND LANTERN DISPLAY.
All Citizens Asked to Decorate Their
> Porticoes and Lawns.

It has been suggested that residents
decorate their homes and lawns during
Fall Festival week with fancy lanterns
of varied colors, the transparent colors
to be made into the form of emblems.
A man who was an A. o. U. w. or an
Odd Fellow, or a Mason could have the
emblem of his order on these lanterns
which would be hung on his porches
and in the yards.
They could then be read both day
and night. Also all old soldiers could
have these lanterns with the letters,
G. A. r. on them, and for the purpose
of bringing together members of GER
tain companies, the resident could have
the name of his regiment and his COM
pany on the lantern. In that way COM
rades who have been separated by
years might see a fancy lantern at a
house which had the number of his
regiment and company.
The subject of fancy lanterns has
been much discussed and hundreds of
residents will decorate their yards in
this way. The idea of displaying en-
blems is a new one and it will no doubt
be adopted by many.

MASSACRE.
Six Men Killed by MOOnshiners
in the Nilds of Arkansas.

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 31.-Six men
were probably massacred in the wilds
of the mountains of Pope county yes
terday afternoon.
Two were killed outright, two were
fatally wounded and left for dead, and
two have mysteriously disappeared and
are either dead or being held captives
by the blood thirsty bandits who COM
mitted the crime
The killed are Captain B. F. Taylor
of Searcey county, deputy United
States marshal, and Joe Dodson of
Stone county, a deputy marshal
The fatally wounded are two brothers
p named Renfrow of Searcey county. The
names of the missing men are not
known, but they are supposed to be
deputy sheriffs from an adjoining coun-
ty.
The victims were all officers, deputy
marshals and deputy sheriffs, and the
men who did the work of carnage are
moonshiners.
The scene of the bloody crime was
gulch or ravine in the mountains of
Pope county, an isolated spot 35 miles
from RusSellville, the nearest telegraph
office and ten miles from Wild Springs.
The region is wild and desolate. 1t
has for years been the favorite rem
devious for counterfeiterS and moon
sinners and a district in which no law
abiding citizen could live.
A few days ago a successful raid was
made in this locality in which a dozen
brought to Little Rock. One of them
told the officers that at least so large
diStillerieS were operating in the same
neighborhood. Deputy Marshal Taylor,
with his posse, located a large moon
shine outfit
Proceeding slightly in advance of his
men, Taylor was within 80 feet of the
distillery, when he was suddenly fired
upon from ambush and instantly kill
ed. AS Dodson ran up to Taylor he
was also shot dead in his tracks. Pts
tolls began to crack in all directions
and terrible volley was poured into
the remaining officers.
The Renfrow brothers fell mortally
wounded and lay by the roadside until
later in the day, when a traveller named
Pack. CHANGED by.
All traces of the bandits had disap-
peared, as we'll as two of the deputy
sheriffs. The latter have not since been
heard from and are believed either to
have been killed or wounded and taken
away captives by the moonshiners.
The United States authorities were
today asked to offer reward for the
arrest of the gang, to which the state
will contribute, and a determined effort
will be made to capture them. 1t is
very probable the effort will lead to
further bloodshed.
Marshal Colser this afternoon receiv-
ed the following telegram from the at
tOrney general:
ject to executive approval, not to ex-
coed $4,000 authorized. Five hundred
dollars reward authorized for capture
and delivery to marshal all persons
implicated in the murder. (Signed) Nc
Kenna."

High Priest of Anarchy Finds New
York No Longer Fruitful Field.


New York, Aug. 31.-The Journal and
Advertiser says:
Johann Most, the high priest of an
archy, will shake the dust of New York
from his feet for good within a week.
Most has decided that New York is no
longer a fruitful field for anarchist prop
uganda and next week he will go to Buff
falo to take charge of the Arbieter lei
tung.
The circulation of Most's New York pa
per, the Freiheit, has been dwindling for
the past two years. 1t stopped publi-
cation recently, having simply died of in
anition. The autonomist group desert
ed Most years ago, and even the COM
munists were beginning to declare that
he was not half radical enough.
Yes said Most, when seen about the
matter, ct am going to leave New York
for more congenial fields. New York is
not what it was since our brethren were
martyred in Chicago"

RAIN rs NEEDED
All Over Kansas, Says Mr.. Jennings,
Although Most Crops Are Made.


Weather Observer T. B. Jennings, in
day for the week ending August 80, has
this to say of general conditions: "A
warm week. with the temperature aver
aging about degrees above the normal
Atehison reports 0S inch of rain this
week, Clay Center O.25, Kansas City OIL,
eleven stations report a trace, the rest
none. Hot winds occurred in many
places Friday and Saturday"
AS results Mr.. Jennings gives for the
eastern division of the state:
Corn is maturing rapidly and pastures
and stock water failing. but haying and
threshing are being rushed. Haying is
nearly done; good crop. Corn cutting
has begun in many counties. The third
crop of alfalfa has been cut.
MIDDLE DIVISION.
The weather has not benefited grow
ing crops Corn about all made except
that planted late, and it is needing rain,
much of it being injured by the dry, hot
weather and winds this week. Corn cut
ting general. Fall blowing mostly fin
ished. Good weather for haying and
threshing. Early sown wheat coming up
in Sedgwick.
WESTERN DIVISION.
The range continues fine and cattle are
of abundant feed for the winter. The fine
haying weather has improved. Wheat
stacks are drying and threshing is being
pushed. The weather is brining crops
rapidly forward in the southwest"

BLADE IN HIS BREAST.

One of AtIanta's Most Prominent Citizens
Stabs Himself to Death.
ATLANTA, July 16.-Crazed with a sui
cdal mania, Emanuel Rich, OGe of the
leading merchants of this city, ended his
life early this morning at his home on
Pryor street in the most tragic and bru-
tai manner.
Thirty-three CHASTITY stabs inflicted
with a blunt fruit knife in his neck and
body tell the awful story Of the ravages
of the mania which prompted the deed.
At o. clock this morning Mr.. Rich Slip
ped noislessly out of his bed room into
an adjoining closet, and, making bare his
chest, began the horrible mutilation
which resulted in his terrible death.
With each terrific stab he sent six inches
OF the cold steel of the knife into his
body. 1t is one of the most revolving
suicides in point of brutality probably
ever conceived by a man of a refined ma
ture. Thirteen of the wounds are in the
neck and one completely severed the
jEgular vein, while twenty lacerated
gAshes are inflicted on the breast. One
of the breast wounds penetrated the
heart and almost cut it in two.

White Convict IN Lee County Brutality
Beaten BY Guards.

Beaten By Guards,
From the Albany Penny Press.
From parties in the city today from
Leesburg the news of another disor-
derby crime which has been commit
ted III Lee county was learned. All
the particulars cannot be ascertained
as yet, but the information which we
have secured is from the most reliable
source.
Messrs. Allison & Co., who run bic
turpentinc farms throughout the state.
have contract with several counties
which furnish them convicts, who
they work on these various farms. At
present they are working on a farm in
Lee county, and the convict camp
there was the scene Of this crime.
The report reached the sheriff at
Leesburg Sunday that an old white
man, the only white man in the camp,
had been severely whipped, and had
died under the lash, and that he was
buried just an hour after the whip
ping was administered.
Little attention was paid to the ru-
NOR until last night, when it was veri-
fed by one Of the leading citizens of
the county, who reported it to the
sheriff. The sheriff and coroner went
out to the camp this morning to inyes-
tigate the case.
