immune from punishment oa iuE
 to public sentiment and =s4spathy. is no manner of #eNeuse fer such
 work. To go 10 the jail @nd shoot down prisoners in their cell, in and under the protection of the officers of the law, was gross and fla grant violation of the eritaina stat utes of the land. and one that -houId never be perpctrated, even under the most trying and aggr3rating circumstances. It is an otlcuse against which tEe statutes of liu;- tation do not run and one which the participants in the mob may be called upon to answer for in years to come, when il would be cx- tremely inconvcnient and trouble some to 90 do.
 While this Is not the first mob to break into the Drew county jai. and take the lives of prisoners con fined therein, we consider this the most serious invasion upon the Ie- gal prerogatiye and the greatest me mace to our civil government, from the fact that mobs, heretofore, have generally considered to have been made up of careless and unthink- ing people, ana whose action was universally condemned by the bet ter element of society and the law loving and law=abiding citizen ship. But in the present instance. we are sorry to believe. some of the very best men in the county took a hand, and what k equally as regretful many more of our best citizens condone the otiense. II is a deplorable state of affairs, and we sincerely hope that our county will never be called upon to wit ness another like it. Without laW no one i7 safe, end without J dg- cent respect for il I country Is on the verge ot ruin.

NO MIXED FLOUR
Is Now Being Sold in Birmingham Since
 New Law Went Into Effect.

"There is no more mixed flour being sold in Birmingham now" said Robert McLes- ter, secretary of the Birmingham Whole sale Grocers' association, yesterday.
 "The law which went into effect on Au- gust 1, requiring that special tax be paid on all wheat flour which was adulterated with corn flour or any other ingredients, and requiring that all such be plainly marked has completely broken up the busi- ness.
 '"There has been great deal of mixed flour sold here in the last year. especially last spring, when wheat went to such high price. This price, however. has drop ped so much that there is no longer any profit, or very little at least, in adulterating 1t with corn flour.
 '"rhere is no flour of this kind left in Birmingham as the dealers all had time to get rid of what stocks they had on hand before the law went into effect. Yes, all the flour now being sold in Birmingham is the product of wheat and wheat only"

is entrusted the mission of teaching 1t to all nations. Under such a glorious policy as this, the ideas of the people will be broadened and America will indeed have become an empire in prosperity and in re- ligious happiness"
 Dr. Allen compared the missionary to the stokers in the vessels which for sev- eral months during every winter lie frozen in by the ice in the harbors of northern China. When the ice breaks in the spring a watch of stokers sent down to the engine room to get up steam. The water is frozen in the boilers and at the end of four hours, no steam has appeared. Another watch is sent down, and at the eighth hour still no steam, and so with the third watch But about the thirteenth hour steam is raised by the stolSers of the fourth watch and the impatient passengers above ap- plaud them for having raised the steam. They don't consider the work of the men whose labors in the earlier watches has helped to get up steam.
 So 1t is with the missionary. The im- patient people at home are looking for steam, rather converts, almost before the missionaries arrive in the countries for which they are bound.
 Dr. Allen appealed to his hearers not to forget those faithful men and women now that the results are coming in who for over fifty years have labored in China for the salvation and Christianization of that coun- try.

THE LYCEUM
Will Have Another Course of Entertain
 ments-Seals' Hall to be Improved.

The Lyceum will have another course of lectures and musicals during the coming season, commencing about the last of next month and continuing until next March or April Seals hall will be used again, but will be much improved. The stairway will be widened SO that four abreast may de- scend, and windows will be cut in the side next to the Steiner building for better ven- tilation- A fire escape stair will also be put up at the rear of the hall. There are exactly 512 chairs in Seals hall, and it is de- sired to have a membership of 250 for the Lyceum so that with two admissions for each membership the hall will be filled at each entertainment without the necessity of selling single admissions to non-mem- bers Last season the membership was 201 and about that number, nearly all old mem- bers, have signed the membership roll for the coming season. As soon as the mem bership fees are paid in the management will make contracts for course of at least ten lectures and entertainments which will be hard to excel. Only two contracts have as yet been made-for ex-Governor George w. Peck of Wisconsin and Dr. Robert Me- Intyre, pastor of the St. James Methodist church of Chicago Governor Peck will
 lecture on "Good Bad Boys and Bad Good Boys" Dr. Mcintyre will be remembered by his lecture, "Buttoned-Up People" last season, whtcH most of the Lyceum members

CUTTING SCRAPE
In Sixteenth Street at an Early Hour
 Sunday Morning

At an early hour Sunday morning a re- port was received at police headquarters. stating that negro had been cut to death in Sixteenth street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues north. Mounted Officer Johnston went at once to the scene and found the neighborhood in much excite ment.
 Jack Ziegler, a negro man, was lying on the ground in pool of blood, with knife wounds in his forehead, back and arm.
 Ziegler and another negro named Joe Owens were at the house of Hattie Setter, a nsgro woman who lived in Ninth alley.
 Richard Lovett, a negro with whom the woman had previously had trouble, came to the door with four other negroes and demanded admittance, which was refused. They broke the door down and entered the house.
 Ziegler and Owens made themselves scarce, but Lovett and his pals followed them out of the door and succeeded in overtaking Ziegler, whom they butchered up in a horrible manner. They then took to their, heels.
 Ziegler was taken to police headquarters, where his wounds were dressed by City Physician Wilder
 The county dogs were teephoned for, but failed to'locate the trail.
 Lovett is known to the police and close watch will be kept for him.

pronounced the finest of the course.
 The management of the Lyceum does not feel justified in making contracts for a complete course until the membership fees are paid in, and it Is important that con- tracts be now made month or two before the lecture season opens in order to pro- cure the best entertainers before their time is fully engaged. It is therefore requested that all ho have signed the roll send their membership fees, s5, to H. K. White, sec- retary of the Lyceum, in the Lane-Terry building, opposite the court house, and membership tickets i'll be at once delivered to them. IL

A MAUSER BULLET
And My Experience With It" by Private
 Pahl of the Sixteenth Infantry.

DO you want to see what Mauser bull let will do for a man?" said Theodore Pahl, of Company E, Sixteenth United States infantry, who was in the city yes terday, going home from Santiago
 With that he showed a small wound scar in his upper lip just under his nose. Then he opened his mouth and his four front teeth were entirely gone as neatly extracted if done by dentists instru- ments.
 "The bullet kept on and is somewhere in my head now" Pahl continued. "The wound doesn't bother me much except that I can't talk very plain.
 1T stopped that Spanish bullet about o'clock July 1, just before San Juan hill was taken. I spit out the loose teeth that were hanging around in my mouth and kept on in the fight. I would have been with my regiment yet, but got the malarial fever and was shipped to Key West, where I have been for over a month. 'I am going home to Salt Lake City now and will rejoin my regiment in month at Montauk Point, Long Island"
