DUE TO TICKLE WEATHER
PREVALENCE OF LA GRIPPE AMONG
THE STREET-CAR MEN.
FOrty-FOur Out of 375 Sick-UnusuaI
Temperature Changes Last
Week.

The variable weather during the past
week has been productive of considerable
sickness in this city. according to reports
sent out from different points. Most of it,
however, has been in the nature of bron-
chial and pulmonary troubles together with
a general spread of la grippe. People
whose occupations have kept them exposed
to the radical changes in the weather have
been the greatest sufferers from it, and an
inquiry at the car barns of the Citizens
Street-railroad Company last night devel-
oped the fact that forty-four men out of
375 employed on the cars are on the sick
list generally with the grip"
At the West Washingt barns,
where $50 men are employed, forty have re-
ported "off on account of sickness" while
at the Illinois-street and Mclean Place
barns fourteen out of 1875 men are sick.
A study of the weather reports last week
will show the sort of weather conditions
that make people dizzy with the grip. Last

This temperature continued throughout the

THE YOUNG LADY'S BEAUTY.
Text of Rev. II. j. ViIIers's Sermon
Last Night.

Rev. Thomas j. Villers, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, last night began a
series of practical talks to young people.
His topic was THE Young Ladys Beauty"
the thought being found in the text from
Esther, The maiden was fair and beauti-
full" The pastor said that the term beau
tiful'' was generally used in referring to a
woman of fair face, and the word hand

was possible for a man to be beautiful
Rachel was beautiful and well favored,
and David was ruddy and possessed a beau

good understanding and Of marked beauty

LYNCHERS ARE KNOWN
ONLY 30 IN SCOTTSBURG MOB. AND
THEY WERE OF LOW ELEMENT.
Attorney General Taylor Returns
from mvestiGatiOn-Murde
Will BE Reached.

When Attorney General Taylor returned
to Indianapolis Saturday night he brought
with him an accurate knowledge of the
identity of the Scottsburg lynchers who
killed Marion Tyler recently and also the
assurance of the Scott county officials that
every man implicated in the tragedy would
be relentlessly punished.
During the various conferences held be-
tween the attorney general and the officers
of Judge News court the fact developed
that the people of the county are aroused
to the necessity of vindicating themselves
before the people of the State, and all the
better element in the county has pledged it's
support to any action brought by the court
officers to bring the offenders to justice.
Every horse thief association in the county
has given assurance of the warmest sup
port, and as invariably these associations
are composed of the best and most law
abiding class of citizens in the county it is
felt that there will be little difficulty in not
only securing the conviction Of the Offend
ers but of making such an example of them
as will tend to free Scott county from such
disgraceful occurrences in the future.
According to the information furnished
Attorney General Taylor the size of the
lynching crowd was grossly exaggerated by
the reports sent out from neighboring towns
at the time of the tragedy, it being shown
that the mob numbered less than thirty and
was composed of the most ruffianly element
in Scottsburg and vicinity, very few of the
guilty men living outside of the city. At
torney General Taylor in speaking of the
state of affairs said that it was a matter
of public record that Scott county had al
ways been a law-abiding county and rigor-
Ously enforced the law at all times. AT the
meeting of the officials Saturday many of
the heaviest taxpayers in the county ap-
peared and asked that no stone be left UNI
turned in bringing every man connected
with the lynching to justice Contrary to
the first impression of the mob, it is now
known that there were no prominent citi-
zenS'' in the crowd, but instead it was made
up altogether of the toughest element of the
neighbOrhOod.
Judge New has called for the drawing of a
special grand jury to convene to-day. when
the names of the men connected with the
lynching will be given to the jury, together
with other important facts in Connection
with the lynching, and il is felt certain that
true bills will be found against every one
of those accused. The attorney general has
decided that in view of the disposition shown
by the county officials to prosecute the case
to a successful conclusion the State will take
no active part in the matter, but will be
represented at the inVestiga ton and trial
i'm order to lend moral support to the county
officials in case any tendency is shown by
individuals to whitewash the offenders. At
present the people of the county are with
the officials as a unit for the punishment
of the lynchers.

Harry McMullen, better known as ''Nigger

Duncan charges that McMullen has at Vari-

secured a position at another place, but
says that McMullen would call for him
there would walk home with him and wait
for him until he became SO terrorized that
he gave Up his position and was afraid To
leave his home lie claims that McMulien
then came TO his home. At last Duncans
brOther-in-laW induced him to tell the cause
of his great fear of leaving the house, and
Duncan's father tested the story by putting
on a suit of his sons arid walking down
the street one evening. He had gone but
q short distance when he found that Me
Mullen was following him. The light at

which he could be prosecuted, there being

ROAD TAX In CASH.
MIR. Thornton Thinks the Repealed
Law of 1851 IL Good One.

In an address before the Progress Club
yesterday afternoon w. w. Thornton IA
vored a return to the old form of govern
ment by town meetings, regarding this as
one of the bulwarks of strength in the de-
velopment of Anglo-Saxon institutions
This democratic form of governement was
brought to this country by the Puritans,
and still obtains in some places throughout
the East. The topic of Mr.. Thorntons pa
per was Reform in County Government"
In discussing this question he pointed out
many evils that have recently been dis
cussed. He gave considerable attention to
the subject of highways saying that the
best road law the State ever had was that
OF 1881. which abolished the system of per-
hitting taxpayers TO work out their taxes
and requiring them to pay taxes in cash.
This law was in force but two years, when it
was repealed. He had some ideas at va
Rance with those of the reform commission
that mas prepared BIZ 3 for introduction at
this session of the Legislature. He would
abolish the township trustee and place the
management of township affairs in the
hands of three men, who might be called
of the schools. Mr.. Thornton thinks that
the government of villages and townships
should be divorced entirely. He thought the
town meeting form of government perfect
~ practicable for townships and also for
some small Incorporated villages although
he feared it would not do In large cities
Mr.. Thornton urged the necessity for re-
forms, asserting that public sentiment is
not so aroused with regard to abuse in
township and county corporations because
subjects than to the questions of municipal
DOlicy.

Good Ore In Sunbeam.
Especial Correspondence,

Silver City, June 21.-The Sunbeam
people are lifting some ore every day,
and while it is contended, and prob
ably true, that no special effort is di-
rected to that end, the fact remains
that ore is being dumped each shift in
the new bins. The shipping mineral
bears strong resemblance in appear
ance to that extracted by the Wood
mansee lease folks, who say that it is
their high-grade ore. AS near as one
can actually determine, the mineral be-
ing saved by the company comes from
the north workings on the 400. ap-
preaching the locality at greater depth,
where the leasers are obtaining their
values. There has been considerable
talk recently concerning the desire of
the Sunbeam company to acquire con-
tiguous ground, notably the Wind
Ridge, known as the Undine. but in the
absence of Mr.. Buckbee nothing def
mite can be ascertained, though his
presence, probably, would not assist in
clearing the doubt. The gossip is sub
mttted simply as rumor that has been
in circulation for a day or so. In the
the Undine is closed.

The Herald is informed that settle
ments for ore taken from the several
shafts on the vein aggregate $340 600,
and yet the deepest hole on the ledge
is but 200 feet Think of it, Scarcely
depth enough for a good well, and yet
this property. like many others in this
end of the district has been aban-
doned, closed tight. as quiet as the
grave. for years, on the theory that
all ores i'll sight having been taken out,
the balance of the ground is lean and
barren. People living in Diamond to-
day can recall the crude and primitive
methods employed by the owners of
the Morning Glory in bringing the
mineral to the surface. For a time it
was done like the poems of Mexico
by the means of climbing ladderway,
the ore being carried in rawhide buck
cts. Judging by the arrangements be-
ing made. it is the purpose of those
having the project in charge to do
some modern vigorous mining, and if
the programme is carried out on such
lines the future of the mine will Who'll
