A SERIOUS RACE RIOT.
Continued from First Page.

to prepare and be in readiness to leave
on short notice.
Later l received a dispatch from
Captain Brush stating that later re-
ports showed that several Of his men
were killed and two injured and that a
larged armed mob of men was between
Carterville and his mine and that one
company was not sufficient
1T would seem that these negro min
ers were waiting at the depot for the
train, probably expecting to leave the
place temporarily or finally. 1t seems
to me from the brief facts above re-
ported and the further fact that no one
was killed except the negroes, that it
was a pre-arranged, preconcerted, pre-
meditated murder. If l am right in
this conclusion, the people OF Carter
vile. and especially of Williamson
county should use every means possible
and that vigorously, to bring these par
ties guilty of this wholesale murder 10
speedy justice, and in their efforts 10
do SO, | promise them the cooperation
of the State, the whole national guard
if necessary, to bring about the arrest
and conviction of these parties for the
restoration of peace and good order
in the county. and so l advised the
sheriff of Williamson county this after
noon by wire.
This is blot on the commonwealth
Of Illinois. and will be a disgrace to
the community of Williamson county
unless quick and vigorous action is
taken by the county authorities. The
good and law-abiding citizens of Will
Hanson county should rise to the stu
alton and support the law officers in

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, September H..
1T is said one of the results of the
antitrust conference of Governors and
Attorney Generals in st. Louis will be
the converting of several State Legisla-

of dealing with the trust problem
The convention, it is said, will out

A FAILURE.
The Dreyfus Demonstration in Lon

to Much.

LONDON, September 17-AltEough
the weather to-day was beautiful, the
much talked of demonstration in Hyde
Park, London, against the verdict of
the Rennes courtmartial recondeming
Captain Dreyfus on charge of treason,
proved a spiritless affair A few thou
sands collected around the seven plat
forms, but they were mainly boys, SER
want girls and idlers. Very few Jews
or foreigners were in evidence. The
large force of police in attendance mad
nothing to do, as the demonstration
could not possibly be more orderly.
The speakers were in nc way inf1u-
entail. Most of the interest conferred
around the platform where Mr.. HAITI
field, relative of Dreyfus, delivered an
address.
The speakers deprecated boycotting
whole nation for the sake of five
judges and a scoundrel''
At the various platforms resolutions
were adopted expressing sympathy VITA
Nine. Dreyfus and adherence for the
generals who figured az the trial, ten
dering congratulations to Emile Zola,
Lieut. Col PicquaIt, Maitre Labor,
Maitre Demange and others, and ap-
pealing to France to release a3d re-
habilitate Dreyfrs before It should be
too late. These were carried with the
greatest enthusiasm. Various flags
were displayed, including the stars and
stripes and the tri-color of France.
A French lady was removed for con-
tinually crying ''Viye TArmee," and a
man was elected for shouting 'Nive
Mercier.'

The Florence tribune., 1899-08-05

Martia Costello offers the Da.y mines in Bisbee for sale for $650, ,000. The question of title to this property was carried to the Supreme Court of the
 United States and was recently decided in MT. Costello's favor. 1t will be re- membered that some dozen years Or more agoan officer went toJames Dal y's cabin in Bisbec to arrest him and was shot down incold blood Daily escaped and has never been captured, although rewards amounting to many thousand dollars have been offered for his arrest. A year or so after the murder Andy Meehan' appeared in Tombstone with a deed from Daly to the mines above referred to. He said he had met Daly in Colorado and had secured the pa- pers. These Meehan transferred to Costello, andithis is the title that the highest ftribanel in the latd has just declared perfect. It furnishes an in- teresting chapter in the long list of tragedies over mining litigation in Arizona.

An Answer.
From the Mesa Freo Press-l.

In an article recently published in the Journal Miner, headed Mormon Priesthood" number of misleading statements were made as to the in- fuenee of the Mormon Priesthood on the social business, and political life of it's members. It is tEue that 1500 or perhaps more of the brightest of their young men are actively engaged in the missionary field and that they are expected to leave their families and business and do this work un- selfishly, and without purse or script, but no effort is made to keep them under yoke or submissive condition. before going or after their return. No interference is mAde by the authorities of this church iD the condnct of tn e basinessy political or social life, ex- eept te. guard their hest interests iu every way possible, DO bar to their- freedom of speech or sction being tolerated. The lives Of the women Of the l.. b. $. church are made the equals of man in every way possible, and their influence for the elevation of it's membershipis> universally felt. It is patent fact that the moral standing of the membership of this church is far above par. Searching investigation of the moral standing of it's members is made before they are permitted to enter and receive the privileges of going through their tenn pies. Polygamy is an issue of the past and those who practice it are exposed as quickly by member as by an out slider.
 Jack is not so much of jack mormon after all.

Mormons in Iroubse.

Recently, something of sensation was caused in Salt Lake City when County Attorney Putnam issued a warrant for the arrest of Angus Nj. Cannon, president of the Salt Lake Stake of Zion, and one os the most prominent officials of the Mormon church. Cannon is charged with un- lawful cohabitation, and the woman in the case is Hattie Hughes Cannon, his fourth wife.
 Cannon is living with his first or | legal wife, and few weeks ago wife No. gave birth to girl baby and the birth certificate, filed by the attending physician, named her as the mother and Angus Cannon as the father. The mother of the polygamous child is a member of the state senate, having been elected on the democratic ticket three years ago, defeating her husband, who was a candidate on the republican ticket.
 The warrant for Cannon's arrest was issued upon an affidavit filed by c. M. Owen of New York newspaper,

Economlc Truths.

A writer states the following con trolling laws in political economy which are commended to the honest consideration of those who are seeking truth on these lines:
 First There is no such thing al Intrinsic value. There is but one kind ''ofvalue in economies, viz: purchasing power.
 Second-All money, including gold is fiat" money. All money is created by law, edict, fiat" of government. Third-Demand and supply make and control all values.
 Fourth--Cut down the quantity of money in circulation one-half (other conditions remaining unchanged) and prices of wheat, cotton and other things as whole will fall one-half.
 Fifth-Double the quantity of money in circulation (other conditions re- maining unchanged) and prices of the peoples products will double.
 Sixth-Double other forms of prop erty without increasing the quantity of money in circulation, and prices of the peoples products will fall one half.
 seventh--There is no such thing in reality as "50-cent dollars" It Is not the value of the material a dollar is made of that controls it's valne asi money il is the fact that it is dollar, and is legal tender, that gives it it's value as money.
 Eighth-The men who have so much to say about 50-cent dollars are daily passing them, right now at 100 cents thus proving their own statements un- true.
 These fore going elementary prin. ciples of political economy are sane toned by all the great writers on money for l5O0 years past, and the great money lenders of Europe of to-day. Anybody can figure from the above eight propositions whether we should restore silver and have "more money and less misery" or not.
