MOB DOES ITS WORK QUICKLY
Negro Accused of Murder Taken Out
and Hanged-Denies Being
the Guilty Party.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 31,-A Star special
from Weir City, Kan, says: Weir City was
the scene last night of a double tragedy.
Gus McArdle, a bartender in Berry James
joint was shot and killed at 10:S0 o'clock,
and in less than two hours his supposed
murderer, George Wells, negro miner from
Scammon, was swinging to a telephone pole,
the victim of mob.
Earlier in the evening McArdle and the
negro had some words in the saloon, after
which the negro left, Soon shot was
fired from across the street, the bullet strik-
ing McArdle squarely in the forehead. He
died in half an hour. A few minutes later
Wells came up in the crowd that collected
and inquired the cause of the commotion.
spectator to the previous quarrel pointed
Wells out to an officer who arrested him
on suspicion and lodged him in Jail
Another spectator shortly afterward identi-
fled him as the negro who had quarreled
with McArdle, and the report quickly spread
that he was identified as the man who did
the killing. A bowling, determined moi
formed quickly and marched to the jail
Securing Wells without much trouble, they
dragged the frightened negro from the build
ing and strung him UP to the nearest tele-
phone pole. Before the rope was placed
about his neck Wells admitted he was the
man who quarreled with McArdle, but de-
MED that he had done the shooting.

After the young man had patted his eye
with cold water for half an hour and then
fitted a beefsteak cushion over it, relates the
Detroit Free Press, he went into the front
part OF the house to find his father.

sternly when he recognized his son.

He didn't strike you?" sin
"No, but it all came from that Internal
code Of etiquette you've been preaching to
me. You insist that one should always tell
the truth and that any idea of poiteness
inconsistent with that Is a sham and mock

Gradually my heart became affected,
and l suffered intense pain in the left side
and over the region of the heart.
Every now and then had nervous spells
that laid me up for weeks al time 1
was also troubled with shortness of breath
whenever I exerted myself in any way.
could not lie on my left side and my
sleep was broken with severe pains and
smotherng sensations. The doctor tod
me that it was coffee drinking
] put myself under his treatment but
did not leave off the coffee. and as l OBJ
tanned no help, became Respondent and
gloomy.
BY chance learned of the Postum Food
Coffee, and concluded l would try and
quit the coffee habit and use Postum
After weeks time / felt greatly i'm
proved, and continued using the Postum
and am still using it. My appetite re-
turned TO me and l gradually regained nv
health and strength, and am now as well
and hearty as / ever was. l have had no
return Of my heart trouble since using
Postum.
/ do not understand that Postum is in
any way a medicine, but that It is a food.
whereas the ordinary coffee is very power
full drug, as shown in my case and many
others.
Two of my near neighbors were addic-
ted TO coffee, and ii treated them much as
T.. did me- They are Mrs. NJ. N. Powell
and Mrs. Mary Pitts.
When they found what q change had
been made in me by leaving off coffee and
using Postum, they threw away their old
coffee pots, got some new ones and began
TO use Postum. The first time they tried
1t, they did not like IL very well. but they
soon found that they had NOT allowed il
