Lewiston is the seat Of that

also the seat of very considerable
part of the cotton industry Of New
England. The cotton-workers of
Lewiston, have got the gospel of

lips of Dingley himself, naturally

golden assurances and reassurances
from Dingley to his fellow towns

employment under the wicked vii
son law are closing or giving preca-
rious employment at pauper wages,

Recognized His Bach i,

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 26.-General
John b. Gordon of Georgia, was
given a public reception to-day il
the office of Governor lseiy in the
capitol building, and all the state
officers, state house employees and
attaches were introduced to him
| The executive rooms were thrown
wide open and General Gordon re
ceived at the governors desk.
1t was quite a scene to witnesn the
new west paying its respects to a
representative not only of the new
south but the old south as well.
General Gordon Is not what he was
twenty years ago by any means. His
eye is as keen, his brain seems as
vigorous and his tongue is as clio
suent as then, but age has settled
upon his limbs. Once the finest
type of the cavalry in Dixie" the
majesty of his stride has fed and
his head does not maintain the proud
poise as of old.
Department commander Theodore
Botkin of the G.. A. r. in official
dress, called upon him, and the
greeting was very warm. When the
ex confederate observed the gigantic
proportions of the department COM

other about the late unpleasantnsss

Call a Senator TO Time.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 27.-After q
hot debate this morning the lower
house OF the Kentucky Legislature
adopted substitute resolution, Of.
fered by representative Nelson, of
Hardin, calling on United States
Senator William Lindsay to resign
if he cannot support the platform.
During the course of the debate
such words as "party traitor" ire
creant to his trust" and "goldbug,"
were frequently banded about.
Representative Desha, a silver
democrat, from Harrison county.
openly denounced Senator Lindsay
as traitor to his party, and called
upon him to return home and face
an outraged constituency. Others
who made hot speeches along this
line were representatives Trimble,
Nelson, Petty, Orr and Hickman.
The resolution was adopted by a
viva voce vote, but on motion of
Representative Pulliam, was consid-
cred in order that the original reso
luton introduced by Representative
Saunders of Union, some time since.
be passed. The Saunders resolution
was then taken up and passed by a
vote of SIS to IS.

ing deficit of about $4,000 IL,
years ago, is legally dead if not &C
tually so. There has always been a
great deal of mystery connected
with the disappearance, and it has
been claimed by all bis enemies and
many of his friends that he was
alive in some foreign country.
The law in Kentucky is that after
a man has been missing for seven
years and nothing has been heard
from him during that time, he is
legally dead. 1t was under this
statue that his heirs recently brought
suit against the insurau &c compa-
MES to recover the insurance upon
his life. The insurance companies
fought the cases bitterly until to day
when the attorneys for the Connect

and paid over S4,100 on the $4,000

Negroes Who Beat Man to Death Lynched

head into a pulp, has bsen Iynchsd
by a mob of the young mans rela

This outbreak of mob violence in

enacted in the vicinity and reported
yesterday.
STORY OF THE CAUSE.
During the day the father of
Charles Beard was severely beaten
by three negroes, who were after

vent their escape while the father
went to procure officers to arrest

the solitary guard was shot from
within the house and fatally wound.

THE CITY At TORNEY
DIRECTED TO APPEAL TWO DAM
AGE CLAIM CASES.
City Council Committees On Public
Grounds, License and Library
Agree to Several Actions.

In opposition to the recommendation
of City Attorney Hall, who had an
nounced his belief that it would be I'M
awaiting to appeal the damage cases
against the city, the committee on mu-
nicipal laws concluded last evening to
advise the city council to not pay the
judgment claim of 81, 450 held by Eliza
Cox, and that of 1928 in Rollin c. SEQ
ville's favor Believing further liti-
cation of these two cases by the city
will be profitable, the committee will
recommend that the city attorney be
instructed to carry the actions up to
the supreme court on a motion for re-
trial. The Cox case is the one which
the city had chance to settle on a
compromise of S100 a year ago.
The license committee decided it
would be improper and inconsistent to
amend the ordinance so slot machines
for trade purposes only could be law
fully operated in business houses, and
much as it is desired to deal fairly
with the saloon-keepers, their petition
to have the use of the gambling de-
vices legalized, viii be denied.
Mainly because the committee on
public grounds has in contemplation
the Improvement of Pioneer park next
spring, the petition Of Henry MCGEE
for a lease OF the square, and permis-
sion 10 use water from the CITY MAINS
for flooding the place in order to make
and maintain skating rink, was
looked upon with disfavor, and the
committee will so recommend.
The same committee agreed that to
offer for sale the old grist mill, long
since abandoned, in Liberty park,
would raise storm of Indignation
from the public. The mill was the first
built in Utah, and to those who attach
a sentimental value to the historic
landmark, its destruction would be an
irreparable loss. The best offer that
has been made for the material in the
building and its removal is $1,000. The
structure viii be strengthened and kept
in good order fl shelter from storms
TO people who frequent the park in the
summer season, until it can be put to
a better purpose.
At the next council meeting, the Ii
brary committee viii report that ar
engagements have been made whereby
the steam heat viii not be cut off from
the library rooms earlier than p. m.
Relative to the use of an additional
room for storage, the committee will
recommend the cession of a room on
the top floor, after the work of cata-
loguing the books in the basement is
completed.

THE HOBSON PAVING CONTRACT
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS AP-
PROVES AGREEMENT.
Fullmer's Low Bid For Roughening
the Slippery Walks-E. h. Rush's
Claim for Rebate.

Over the objection of the city engi-
neer. the board of public. works yester-
day executed the agreement with A. L.
Hobson for the refund of $1,000 and in
terest out of the $1,000 special cash
guaranty given by the contractor for
the satisfactory wear OF the west Sec
ond South street asphalt pavement. ~
feature of the new supplemental con-
tract is that the balance Of the retained
deposit shall remain two years longer,
to additionally assure the wearing
qualities of the pavementS surface. A
further reason why Chairman Kelsey
voted in the negative was that he had
no information of the city attorney
having drawn the agreement as pre-
scented, but rather, he suspected At
tcrney Hampstead, who appeared as
counsel for Contractor HObson, pre-
pared the instrument.
Relative to David c. Fullmer's propo-
sition to roughen slippery cement side
walk pavements at 21s and 3 cents a
square foot. the board resolved to rec
ommend to the city council the accept
ance OF the bid, If Mr.. Fullmer would
contract to do the bush hammering
according to specifications.
The clerk of the board was directed
to correspond, with Archie Mckay, for
mer secretary, now in New York, for
information relating to a refund of
Sc due to e. H. Rush for an unused
sewer permit. The Cancelled check bears
the ex-clerk's endorsement, but there
is no record of the transaction on the
boards books.
