Blue Blood,

The origin of the term "blue
blood" is most suggestive After
the black Moors were driven out of
Spain, the aristocracy of Spain was
held to consist of those who traced
their lineage back to the time be-
fore the Moorish conquest. These
people were whittier than those who
had been mixed with Moorish blood.
The veins upon their white hands
were blue, while the blood of the
masses, contaminated by the Moor
ISL infusion, showed black upon
their hands and faces. So the white
Spaniards of the old race came to
declare that their blood was "blue."
while that of the common people
was black. The phrase passed to
France, whore it had no such sig
nifcance and was, in fact, quite ar
bitrary, and thence it came to Eng
land and America. -Chicago Times

Of all of Jerry J.'s rambling ex-
pressions, the one which escaped from
his ''wheels" in last Saturdays Jour
nal seems the most practical of them
all. He claims (and quite true, too,)
that the machine, for fear of certain
defeat, dare not name candidate for
governor, and claims that the genial
Capt. Van SAINT is the only man so
far spoken of (and the Lord knows
there have been enough of them who
would be acceptable to both sides.
The machine, although knowing that
the captain is strong antimachine
man, would rather support him than
to go down to everlasting defeat,
which is freely predicted that such
would be the case if it named the
candidate; and they would rather
trust their fate in his hands than any
other antimachine man yet men
toned, as they have an idea that he
would let them down easy, while the
rest would take a fall out of them
that would shake the heavens. It is
a conceded fact that the southern
part of the state is entitled to the
governor in 1898, and as the two can
didates prominently mentioned from
that section-Bixby and Weaver
are claimed to be dyed-in-the-wool
machine men and dare not be brought |
out by the machine, their only saliva
ion would be to unite on Capt. Van
SAINT. If the south should unite on
he captain there would be no trouble

hould they come to the convention

Die to go to some other part of the
tate; or should they unite on a ma
hine man they might secure his
omination, but there would be grave
-oubts as to his election, which
would not only be defeat and dis
race to the so-called machine, but
would be a hard blow to the party
t appears the unanimous sentiment
mong voters that the gubernatorial
for 1898 must be an anti
machine man. Hence it would be
'olicy for the south to get together

aptain is well known throughout the

tickets. One day servant girl came
to the collector in Hagen, and asked II
she could buy No. 20. He did not have
It In his possession, but as the girl
seemed very much in earnest, and re-
fused to be put off with any other
number, he tried to obtain II from
some Of the other collectors in town
and finally succeeded. The drawing
took place, and Hagen rose TO q state
OF feverish excitement when II was
known that this girl had become
winner Of large sum Of money. She
found herself for time, the chief oh.
feet of interest in the town. She was,
Of course, asked how she came to fix
upon No. 90. Thcreupon she gave this
simple and lucid explanations: II

ond night No. Z, and third night
again. So thought three times seven

WHITECAPS' WORK.
Two Men Riddled with Bullets by
an Infatuated Mob.
THE TORCH APPLIED TO The HOUSE.
Tho Victims Thought to Have Becn Mem
bcrs of q Gang of Thlovcs-The
Whole Ncighborhood Wrought
Up to white Heat.

MOUNTAIN GROVE, NO., May aO.-This
little city was thrown into intense ex-
citement yesterday morning by the re-
port Of n horrible double murder about
six miles north of here on the banks of
milestone river. Tuesday night about
IL o'clock mob Of 90 infuriated citi-
zcns visited the home Of Lige Mayfield,
who lives with his parents Not find
ing him at home, they passed single
file through the house and when out
side threw burning torch on the
roof, which took fire. Thinking the
work complete, the mob took its way
TO the house of John Mitchell. After
it left Mayfield, by hard work, saved
the house from the flames.
The mob arrived ut Mitchclrs be-
tween l2 and two o'clock a. M, but
finding the house, which Is small, box
one, bnrricadcd, commenced a regular
fusillade of shots against the outside.
John Mitchell, who was sleeping with
his wife and two little babies, well
knowing the purpose and intentions Of
the mob, got up and started across the
room TO get his pistol, but was riddled
with buckshot and rifle balls, fred
through small window on the north
side. Before he was half way across
the room he sank mortally wounded
upon the floor. His stepbrother, Jack
Coffmann, raised up in bed, where
he was sleeping with Dave Mitchell,
brother of John, and was also shot to
death in horrible manner by the in
furiated mob on the outside. Over
90 buckshot passed entirely through
the body Of Coffmann. Dave Mitchell
was also shot through the head and
shoulder while on the floor returning
the fire of the mob. How the wife and
children of John Mitchell escaped in
jury is miracle, rs the wall behind
the bed where thay all had been lying
was perforated with buclSshot.
The trouble which eliminated in the
double tragedy has been growing for
n number of years. The Mitchell
brothers and Coffmann were thought
to have been members Of nm organized
band of thieves who made n practice
of taking anything from u chicken to
a horse, and who had been operating
between this town and Lebanon on
the Frisco road, so miles north of
here. both the Mitchells have done
time in jefferson for theft. Yesterday
Dave Mitchell stated that about two
weeks ago he was taken out of his
home about midnight and severely
whipped by band OF whitecaps, who
told him to get out Of the state. or ut
their next visit they would finish him
up in nicer way" The whole
is wrought up to white
heat over the affair and should the
of this outrage be found
out they will be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law. On every hand the
action of the mob was denounced in
.he most severe terms.

DOS PASSOS' PLAN.
The Projected Establishment OF Loan
Company Discussed by Financiers.

The Projected Establishment OF q Loan
Company Discussed by Financiers.
New YORK. May 10.-The plan for es
tablishing in this country loan and
mortgage company similar to the
Credit Foncier of France, by means OF
special charter from congress, pro.
posed by John r. Dos Passos, the
lawyer, was discussed by financiers to.
day. Maurice L. huffman, of the sub
treasury, said of the plan: 'I.consider
the idea of United States loan and
mortgage company, on the lines laid
down by Mr.. Dos Passos, as practicable
and good. There is no need for $780,
900, 900 in capital, however, for $1,000
900 paid in would do ut first. The COM
pany would not necessarily make loans
of money, but of its credit. Bonds
could be issued which could be sold on
the stock exchange and used rs money.
! think 1t will solve the problem now
confronting the farmer of how to bor-
row money Mt u reasonable rate of in
terest."
President Hepburn Of the Third ma
tional bank said: while the state
mcnt that have anything to do with
the projected loan and mortgage COM
pany is not true, am in favor of some
thing being done to aid farmers in Sc
curing loans of money ut reasonable
rate of interest. ! think money could
be loaned on farm property at six per
cent. with profit, but the sum of $780,
900, 900, II secured by $40 investments
would be impracticable. 1t would
take too large force of clerks to at
tend to so many small accounts. In
one bank in this city, u savings institu-
ton, over 100 clerks are necessary to
handle its business. This would re-
quirc more. But the idea is good one
on general lines, though ! can not up
prove of the entire plan" Other bank
crs held similar views to those eX-
pressed by MIR. Hepburn.
