Another HeinOus Outrage Perpe-
trated by a Negro
Fiend.
SEARCHERS With SHOTGUNS.
Bonds Beat His Victim Into Insensibility
and Then Accomplished His
Purpose.

Marietta, Ca, July 3l.-The negroes
of this section of Cobb county are
greatly excited today over heinous
crime committed by Henry Bonds, an
1S-year-old negro, and mob of negro o
men is now searching for him with
shotguns. Bonds is son of respct-
ed negro preacher, and has frequently
been in serious trouble. Charges of
criminal assault have been made
against him on two former occasions,
and In both instances the influence of
his father served in getting him clear,
though punishment was administered
on each occasion. The crime he COM
mitted yesterday was especially bru-
tai and may result in the death of his
victim. He was passing the. home of
George Pandy, three miles north OF
here, late yesterday afternoon, and
called to Pandy's wife to sell him
some vegetables. She went with him
into the field for that purpose. The
brute then struck her to the ground
and accomplished his purpose by
beating the woman almost insensible
The negroes quickly organized and
searched for him all night. A sher-
lff's posse is also after him.
The woman is in precariOus con-
ditlon, her head being badly mutilated
1t is thought she will die.

LOTS OF LUMBER
SHIPPED In JULY.
The Month Showed Exceptional
Activity in That
Line,
over FIFTEEN MILLION FEET.
Shortage in Other Exports, and the Month
Proved Exceptional by Showing
Decrease.

So far as Brunswick's shipping rec
ord is concerned, July was an ex-
ceptional month. 1t was the first
month In two years that did not show
an increase in shipping over the same
month of the preceding year.
This is due principally to the fact
that not one bale of cotton was shipped
during the month, Naval stores were
also little short. Lumber, however.
was far above the average, the ex-
ports being considerably over 15,000,-
600 feet.
The month shows a decrease of $780,
GAL from the record of July, 1896. But
July and August are always the dull
est Shipping months, and there is nc
room for encouragement in contem-
plating the decrease.
The following are the figures, as
taken from the books of Capt, Otto
Johanneson

emen of the City Council These Reservoirs Must Be Covered
SUGAR WORKERS IN LUCK.
Advance in Their Wages, Due to the
Tariff Bill.

New Orleans, July 31.-Leon God
chau, owner of seven sugar planta-
tions in Louisiana, and the largest
producer in the United States, has
telegraphed to the managers of his
several places to advance wages of all
field labor l6H per cent, the advance
to commence August l, in conse-
quence, he says, of the passage of the
Dlngley tariff bill.
In sugar circles the decision is gen.
eral that this advance will be con-
ceded by all planters to labor employ
ed in sugar culture or manufacture.
Skilled labor employed in sugar
houses or refineries Is paid according
to the price sugar commands, and will
increase in wages from 20 to 30 per
cent, compared with last year.

Wednesday, Aug S5, the Day
Named for His Exc
cutiOn.
THE STORY OF HIS CRIME.
The Verdict Satisfied the People, and
Probably Prevents a
Lynching.

Atlanta, Ca, July 81 Edwin Flan-
agan, who has been on trial at Deca-
tur all this week for the murder of
Mrs. Nancy Allen and Miss Ruth
Slack, on December 81, 1895, was this
morning found guilty and sentenced
by Judge Gambler to be hanged We'd
nesday, August 25. Flanagan is a
carpenter, and was formerly in the
employment of the Standard Oil COM
pany, in whose service he travelled to
all southern cities where depots of the
company were being built. he had
mania for making love to and seeking
marriage with very young girls. His
method was to advertise for a nurse
for a mythical niece and when young
girls made applications he would Sc
lect the prettiest of the lot and propose
marriage. Through such an adver-
tisement, he made the acquaintance
of and went to board with the family
of George Allen, living in Dekalb
county, near Atlanta. There he con-
ceVed a mad infatuatiOn for Leila AL
len, the 11-year-old daughter of the
house. He asked the father for the
child's hand, but the request was
hardly taken seriously. When he had
been put off several times he became
morbid and conceived the horrible
idea that Allen was having improper
relations with his own daughter,
On the night of December 81, after
eating supper with the family, he
went to his room, got pistol, and, re-
turning to the supper table, shot
George Allen, and wounded him
slightly. In the confusion that fol-
lowed he fired indIscriminately, kill
ing the mother of George Allen in
stantly and woundiDg Miss Slick, a
visitor, so that she died soon after
wards. When arrested, Flanagan ex-
planned his crime by saying plot was
being formed against him by the AL
len family because of his discovery of
relations existing between father and
daughter and that he had to kill to es-
cape being killed. The testimony in
the trial revealed the most remark
able case of sexual perversion on the
records IN the courts of this state.
If Flanagan had been acquitted, or
if mistrial had resulted, he would
probably have been made the victim
of mob. At any rate, he would have
had to stand a second trial on thu
charge of killing Miss Slack.

IS IT A BOOMP

Yesterday every stock listed in this
city again closed higher than on the
previous day Santa Fe common and
preferred reached the highest point at
tanned in years. Wheat reached the
highest figure of the year in New York,
and corn also showed a marked ad-
vance. While indicating a prosperous
condition throughout the country these
particular items are of especial interest
to Kansas. the home of the Santa F'e
road and the producer of so large a pro-
portion of the grain crop of the coun-
try.
One of the most encouraging features
of the business situation is found in the
fact that Europe continues to buy of
whatever America has to sell whether
the price be high or low. Even silver
finds a ready market and the exports
of the white metal yesterday were over
six hundred thousand ounces. We are
even selling tin not only to Italy but to
England.
So great is the demand for American
wheat that vessels are being sent over
empty to carry back this much desired
cereal. One thing is certain if existing
conditions continue much lOnger-and
there seems no reason to think they will
not-the boom in farm products and
in securities will extend to real estate,
It has always been so and there is no
reason why the present occasion should
prove an exception.
Those who were here ten years ago
well remember that many people went
about the city lamenting their lack of
foresight in not investing in property
while it was cheap. The same oppor-
tunities present themselves now, but of
course few will feel disposed to buy I'M
til everybody gets the buying fever.
When prices of property have gone
away beyond what they are now-and
this can hardly fail to come about in a
short time-we shall hear the same old
story that we heard ten years ago:
six months or a year ago could have
bought this property for a thousand
dollars and today it sold for s., 0Oo''
People are prone to believe that each
boom is the last one-that it can never
happen again-but it does. Topeka and
the whole country have seen a number
some decided reverses of the present
tendency of the times, another is inevi-
table.
Prices of property have reached the
lowest point. Every change from now
on will be an advance. Investors will do
well to consider the situation and gov
ern themselves accordingly. 1t will al
so be we'll to remember that it does not
pay to let the boom" get to rushing
forward too rapidly for the inevitable
reaction will come the sooner and the
harder

self with the facilities for making this
hose coupler unless he has some assur-
ance of retaining the business for a GER
tain length of time. He says he will
make the coupler as cheap as it is be-
ing made in Kansas City but that he
would like to have a contract for a
years business or would like to have
Mr.. Anderson to agree to take certain
number within year.
After some further discussion the
club voted to continue the special COM
charge of this matter, instructing them
to report at the next regular meeting in
September.
Returning to a discussion of the wool
en- mill project it was suggested by Mr..
Howe that the owners of the property
be communicated with and advised that
the club does not feel justified in taking
any action towards voting a bonus or
subscribing stock but if the McAfee
brothers will come to Topeka the mem
bers of the club will do all they can to
aid in presenting it to the citizens with
a view of securing some concessions in
favor of the enterprise.
THE men who are familiar with this
business are best qualified to present it
and think they could do better too, by
coming to Topeka to investigate. the
prospect said Mr. Howe.
The secretary of the club is today
personally calling upon the members to
secure their votes upon the proposition
to reduce the initiation fee to So and
the monthly dues to $1.50. Those who
were present and voted in favor of the
proposition last night. were: MessrS.
Elliott, Dana, Edison, Howe, Crockett,
Duluth, Neiswanger and President Day.

Corn is Three Points Below the Aver

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE August re-
port of the statistician of the de-
partment of agriculture shows the fol-
lowing average conditions on August 1:
Corn, S4.2; spring wheat, S67; spring
rye, S9S; oats, $50; barley, S7.5; buck
wheat $40; tobacco, 1871; Irish pota-
The condition of corn, s4.2, is 1.3 points
higher than last month, lis points
lower than on August 1, 1896, and
points lower than the August average
for the last ten years.
The principal state averages are as
follows:
Ohio. IS; Michigan. IS; Indiana, 90;

There is a decline of points in Mime
sofa, IL in South Dakota, in North
Dakota and L in Nebrask
The average condition of oats is sc, as
compared with S75 last month, IT'S on
August l, 1896. The consolidated re-
turns indicate that about 10 per cent
of the Oat crop of last year is still on
hand.
The average condition of potatoes has
fallen during July from S7.S to 77.9,
which figure is 1853 points lower than
on August 1, 1896.
The condition of the apple crop is in
the main very unfavOrable. Ohio and
Michigan have little more than one
third of full crop, Pennsylvania slight
ly under and New York slightly over
half crop, and Virginia and Kentucky
each about two-thirds. Reports from
several points in Canada indicate
short crop of the larger fruits, partic-
ularly apples, both in Ontario and the
maritime provinces.
There are few sections of the coun-
try that do not represent failure, more
or less marked, in the peach crop.
