The vessels passed the Potomac the
second mark boat go miles from the
start at 1850, covering the distance in
"A minutes and seconds. This shows
a speed of 1914 knots. From the shore

Mr.. W. J. Faulkner, the Chicago gas
man. intends to come to Topeka as soon
as the proposed ordinance is passed by
the city council. and make a house to

new plant he expects to build here. If
the canvass is satisfactory, he can Sc
cure plenty OF financial backing in the

AIr- Bird SAYS that he is also ready to
organize his company and put up a sat
isfactory deposit before the ordinance
IS made legal by publication.
The attitude that the present gas
company has maintained toward the
people of Topeka in the matter of rates
viii undoubtedly be responsible for Mr..
Faulkner's canvass resulting very sat
isfactOrily. He proposes to furnish gas
at 81 to start with, and 95 and 80 cents
after the plant has been in operation
for a certain number of years, and at
these rates the majority of the people
Of Topeka will be glad of the OppOr-

LYNCHED BY COLORED MEN.
Five Hundred Negroes Took simon Brooks,
toiored, From Jail at sardis, Miss,
and Put Him to Death.

SARDIs, Miss, June IL Simon
Brooks, colored, was lynched by mob
of 500 Negroes near here, having been
taken from the Jail some time between
midnight and dawn. The crime, which
thus avenged, was most atrocious.
Saturday night a Negress named
Armistead while returning from
a shopping tour to herhome
was assaulted by Brooks and
another Negro. The woman was out
ragged, her throat was cut and she was
severely beaten about the head
and her jaws were tightly tied
to prevent breathing. Her body was
then concealed in rubbish. The woman
rallied sufficiently to give the alarm
and the names of her assailants. Part
of the goods taken from the woman
was later found in trunk belonging
TO Brooks. The mob, which was COM
posed entirely of Negroes, did its work
quietly. The white people knew moth
ing of the affair hours after it occurred.
