A QUIET LYNCHING.
Two Negroes "Frozen to Death" In
Mississippi For Murder.

Brooksville, Miss, April two ne
groes, Forest Jamison and Moses An
derson, were 1ynched today by a mob
for the murder of T. H. Cleland, a stock
farmer, who lived twelve miles east.
C1eland was found dead in his room.
An investigation was at once made and
of assassination. Guilt was soon placed
upon two negroes, who were living or
the farm, and with whom Cleland re-
Gently had trouble. Forest Jamison, one
of the negroes, confessed that he
choked Cleland to death, while another
negro, Nose Anderson, held the victim s
feet. A posse of 200 determined citizens
secured possession of the two negroes
and quietly hanged them to a tree. The
mob then dispersed in an orderly man

Woods, colored. who lives at IS Ewing
street He has been sick since, last Fri
day, and in that time scores of his neigh

Lapp called yesterday afternoon he found
in the house, besides the sick man, five
other persons-Mary Woods, David Tines,
Bell Huff, Albert Smith and Amanda

When told that Woods was sick with
smallpox there was a general rush for the
door, and they were only prevented from
escap ping by the doctor interposing his
body as a barricade and threatening
rest to any person who attempted to leave
the house. He notified the health depart

THE EMPORIA AFFAIR.
Editor White Gives His Version of the
Trouble in the Gazette.

Emporia, April 7.-Editor W. A
White makes the following statement in
his paper, the Emporia Gazette last
evening regarding the encounter be-
tween himself and Colonel Luther Sew
cry:
IAN UNPROVOKED ASSAULT"
"This noon, as w. A. White was
crossing between the Emporia National
bank and the Star Clothing house. he
passed L. Severy. Mr.. White spoke
pleasantly to Mr.. Severy. After Mr..
White had passed Mr.. Severy, Mr.. Sew
cry whirled and struck Mr.. White on
the back of the head with a heavy wal
nut cane, telling him. While Mr. White
was unconscious for few seconds, Mr..
Severy struck him second blow on the
back of the head, breaking his cane.
Recovering from his daze, Mr.. White
started his way toward the Star
Clothing house, when Severy drew back
and started as if to pull gun from his
overcoat pocket. Whereat Mr.. White
told Mr.. Severy he was too old a man
for a gentleman to touch. Mr.. Severy
used vile and obscene language. A lit
tie later Mr.. White went to the Cream
cry restaurant
1.-THE Gazette has nothing to retract
about Mr.. Severy. It still believes that
his age has withered his sense of honor.
The fact that even an old man would
strike in the back and seem proud of it,
indicates how far senility has deadened
manhood. The Gazette believes the peO-
pie have made an escape from electing
the sort of man Mr.. Severy has proved
himself. The fact that the defeat was
overwhelming and seemingly very hu-
initiating indicates that the people knew
what they were doing.
After Col. Severy's attack on White
a bystander, Ed Reese, called White a
coward and the latter struck him in the
face. Others interfered and prevented
a fight.
Col. Severy, later in the afternoon,
pleaded guilty to the charge of assault
and battery, and was fined SIS and costs.
Editor White pleaded not guilty, and
asked for a continuance until Saturday,
which was granted.

GHOST OF A DOG.
The Dog il Dead But He il Heard &c
Bark Nightly.

Peter Watson, colored, was arrested
by the police, charged with "wilfuIly.
wrongfully, ma1iciously and unlawfuIly
owning and keeping and harboring a
vicious dog and permitting the same to
run at large"
Watson explained that it was a COM
mon yellow cur with more bark than
bite, and Judge Ferry allowed him to
go on the promise that he would kill
the dog. Until the dog is dead Watson
is virtually under arrest.
Now the question is this, Is the dog
dead? Nobody has seen it, but officer
Smith declares that he heard the dog
bark He has not seen it, but he says
he knows the bark well, so Watson re-
ceived another order to kill the dog.
Again Officer Smith says he heard the
bark of the brute and to settle the
question Judge Ferry will have to order
the body of the dog, dead or alive, pro-
duced in court.

CAN'T BE SEPARATED.
Some Kenosha People Have Learned How
to Get Rid of Both.

Backache and kidney ache are twin
brothers.
You can't separate them.
And you can't get rid of the back
ache until you cure the kidney ache.
The kidneys are the handspring of
the whole system.
If they are not strong and healthy
you may expect aches and pains and
sicknesseS of all sorts.
If the kidneys are well and strong
the rest of the system is pretty sure to
be in vigorous health.
Doan's Kidney Pills make strong,
healthy kidneys. Not now and then
but every time,-no matter what the
trouble is, if it's from the kidneys
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure it.
Mr.. Fred L. Stocking, of 334 Tween
tieth ST., Milwaukee, retired from the
active cares of life, says: /" IF backache,

MEETS A VIOLENT DEATH.
Old Kenosha Man Killed in Texas.-Ends
an Old Peud

an Old Feud.
Tom Rategan, of La Grange, Texas,
formerly of this county, was shot down
in cold blood by the marshal of that
place on the 22nd u1t.
The shooting terminates political
feud of long standing. Rategan had
opposed the election of Marshal Riley
at the last campaign, and Riley took
revenge upon Rategan at his first OPP
portunity. Rategan was man of
varied career, having been a police
officer in Chicago and ST. Louis, from
whence he moved to Texas to become
a party to many of the exciting scenes
of that state.
Rategan leaves wife and only son,
nine years of age, who promises to
avenge the death of his father. Rate
gan was we'll known in Kenosha as a
fearless man, and quick with his gun,
and the wonder to his friends here is
thatsRi1ey got the drop on him.

ing Question for Week Longer.

ing Question for Week Longer.
The special building committee of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton met last evening for the purpose
of awarding the contracts for>the new
building, but no action was taken.
The committee has made extensive
changes in the plans and have decided
to give up that part of the plan which
provided for excavating under the
sidewalk on Main street. No changes
have been made in the plans for the
building proper. The changes as
made have reduced the cost of the
building about $4,000, but the committee
still fl nd the amounts of the bids a
little over SIC, 900 which is 1000 above
the amount of money on hand.
No efforts will be made to cut the
cost of the building further, but all
efforts will be made to raise the ad-
ditiona1 money needed by a special
canvas. The old bids which were
opened some time ago will be retained,
and the contracts will be awarded to
the 1owest3bidders in about week.
The old building, which has so long
been menace to the appearance of
Main street, will be carted away next
week and the committee expect to be-
gin the excavations for the new build
ing about a week from Monday. The
building has been delayed SO much
that it is not expected that it can be
completed during the present year, but
ali efforts will be made to get the roof
on before the snow flies.

MAYOR CALLS A HALT.
Replacement OF the Paving Fails to Give
Satisfaction to the City oncials.

Replacement OF the Paving Fails to Give
satisfaction to the city ofici4ls.
The trouble between the city and
the Kenosha Light and Power company
in regard to the replacing of paving
after putting in the pipes for the heat
ing plant has already begun and It
seemed for while this morning that
all work would be stopped. The work
of replacing the pavement at the cor
ner of South and Main streets was
started by the company and within
ten minutes half a dozen complaints
were lodged with the Mayor, declaring
that the work was being done in
very shoddy manner. The Mayor and
the street committee, consisting of Aid.
Priddis and O'Brien, at once gave the
matter their personal attention and all
work was ordered stopped.
The street was being paved in a way
which made it resemble very closely
corduroy road, and the Mayor and COM
n1ittee at once informed the contrac-
tors that the work wouldn't do, and
ordered that all of the paving be taken
up again. The company explained
that it was their intention to go over
the work, but this did not satisfy the
officials and the company was ordered
to put the paving back in a proper
manner as soon as the work of laying
the pipes was concluded. This was
agreeable to the company and the work
was started anew.
The Mayor ordered the City Engineer
to inspect the work, and at any time
when it is not satisfactory work will
be stopped again.
