MIDLAND CHAUTAUQUA.

Previous Efforts.
DIES MONIES, June 10.-The daily
programme for the Chautauqua assem-
bly,. July 5 to %, has been completed
and furnishes the best possible testl-
monial of the high class of attractions
that have been secured, and that will
make this assembly one OF the strong
est in the country. The Midland
Chautauqua is conceded to be a perma-
nent institution. A new park has
been opened, new buildings have been
erected and a list of attractions has
been booked which will easily surpass
any ever offered at an assembly in
Iowa. A big auditorium has been
built in which about 1000 people can
be comfortably seated and 1000 more
can see and hear. The new auditor

A witness in murder case In 1ndi-
ana recently Testified that the evening
before the tragedy he dined with the
victim, end the latter, on paying the
waiter. drew a fve-dollar bill from
= large roll containing fifty times that
amount. This statement suggested a
motive for the murder which had hith-
erto been incomprehensible. Future
civilization may emphasize the fact
that to offer temptation is as culpable
as the crime it incites. The man who
needlessly opens rolls of money in pub
lie places; the woman who displays
valuable jewels in street cars; the
merchant who thoughtlessly gives his
young clerk tempting opportunities for
peculation; the housekeeper who trusts
without oversight all accounts to her
cook, are not themselves wholly inno-
cent when moral degeneration or .
blasted character is the result. Osten-
tation, Incidence, too great leniency
open the downward path for natures
that are unwary or perverse.

IYnched Him After All.

URBANA, Ohio, June 5.-After the
militia had fred on the crowd, which
was attempting to lynch "Click"
Mitchell, Governor Bushnell ordered
company B of the Third infantry from
Springfield. They arrived and
marched to the Jail, where they found
1000 people surrounding the structure.
The mayor assured the commander
that their services We're not needed,
as the people were law-abiding, and
asked them to withdraw to the train,
and in case their services were needed
he would send for them. Without
waiting for further orders they
marched down the street to the depot.
The local militia had previously re-
fused to serve longer and went to the
second story of the sheritf's residence
and tried to sleep. With no resistance
offered, the mob rushed into the Jail,
battered down the door to Mitchells
cell and hanged him to a tree. The
result of the shooting was two killed
and six wounded. Mitchell was con-
victed of criminally assaulting Mrs.
Eliza Gaumer, widow of the late pub
Usher of the Urbana Democrat.

Moore is Held For Trial.

LINCOLN, Neb., June 9-District
Judge Hall overruled the demurrer to
information charging Eugene Moore,
late state auditor, with ENLIGHTENMENT
of $4,000, and holds him for trial.
EX-Auditor Moore was arrested early
in the year, when shortage was dis
covered. No denial of his populations
was made and he now sets up the
novel plea that he cannot be held as
an embezzler by the state for the
reason that the insurance companies,
from whom he received the money
as fees, should not have paid it TO him,
but to the state treasurer, as provided
by law. He holds that he is amenable
to insurance companies only and that
they are still indebted to the state.

about it, bounding the police day and

On May Luetgert's wife was also
missing, and instead OF notifying the
police, or showing much concern, he
said little or nothing about her strange
disappearance. This marked contrast
In Luetgert's conduct made the police

and Luetgert is fast behind the bars.

It is said that the good roads CON-
mittee of Massachusetts has struck
upon a very novel but effective man
ner of promoting its work. Instead o!
using the money at its disposal to
make continuous stretches Of good
roads as far as the money held out,
It has alternated good roads with bad,
each being one mile in extent. Thus,
the driver hauling heavy load to
market, spins merrily along for a mile
over an admirable road, and then
strikes q mile Of muck and mire. This
makes him swear, of course; and when
he finally gets through it to the next
mile of good road, he appreciates it all
the more. The committee claims by
this method it can more easily and
rapidly arouse a general interest in

Emperor Joseph Stricken.

VIENNA, June 7.-Emperor Francis
Joseph had another severe attack,
apparently of an apopleptic nature.
With the aid of two physicians and
the radical change of air the old man
rallied, but he has fallen off ever since.
He is now weak, nervous. failing. The
unrest existing in the parliament has
caused him great anxiety. and this is
believed to have caused the attack.
1t is believed that in the event of the
emperor's death, Hungary and
Bohemia would try to throw off the
Austrian yoke, and that the result
m ght be another European unheaval.

DIES MONIES, June 7.-When the Des
MONIES Daily News was offered to sub
scribers for 81 year in December,
1895, conservative newspaper men
thought the offer ruinous, not to say
preposterous. A different view pre-
sails now. The newspaper directories
all place the Daily News at the head
of Iowa daily newspapers in circula-
ton, and its advertising space is
double in value that of any other Iowa
daily. The offer is still open and the

Great interest centers in the trial
of DR.. L. K. Bobo, of Oxford, who

murder, beng charged with criminal
practice on Miss Belle Sutliff, from
the effects of which she died. There

doctor sets up the plea that another
physician, DR.. Cook, is guilty, and his
evidence is all along that line DR..
Bobo and his wife sit side by side
during the trial. DR.. Bobo is six feet
tall, of commanding figure, with an
intelligent countenance, pleasant and
agreeable manners and up to the time
of this unfortunate occurrence bore an
excellent reputation both as a ply
sician and man. The prominence Of
the parties involved has contributed to
invest the. trial with an UNUSUAL
amount of interest.
