Burned AT the Stake.

In the presence of nearly 200 people,
who sent aloft Wells of defiance and
shouts of Joy, Sam Hose, a negro, who
com nitted two of the basest acts known
in the history of crime, was burned at
the stake in a public road one and one
half miles from Newman, Ca, last week.
Before the torch was applied to the
pyre, the negro was deprived of his ears,
fingers and other portions of his anatomy.
The negro plead pitifully for his life
while the mutilation was going on, but
stood the ordeal of fire with surprising
fortitude. Before the body was cool il
was cut to pieces, the bones were crushed
into small bits, and even the tree upon
which the wretch met his fate was torn
up and disposed of as souvenirs. The
negro was cut up in several pieces, as
was also his liver Those unable to OBJ,
tain the CHASTITY relics direct paid the
more fortunate possessors extravagant
sums for them. Small pieces of bone
went at IS cents, and a bit of liver crisp
" cooked, sold for 10 cents.s
As soon as the negro was seen to be
dead there was tremendous struggle
among the crowd which witnessed hi:
tragic end to secure the souvenirs.

of Pennsylvania. His name ia known te
those who were with HIM, but they re

The mob was composed of citizens o
Newman, Griffin, Palmetto and Other
little towns in the country around New

Governor, met the mob as he was return

t, let the law take its course. In address
ing the mob he used these words:
'Some of You are known to me, an,
when this affair is finally settled in tn,

draw revolver and level it at Governo

pistol taken from him.

Freighting to Buffalo.

An Oregonian correspondent
writes from Grangeville that it now
costs cents per pound to get
freight from Lewiston to Grange
vile, and from GrangevilIe to Elk
City the charge is 10 cents per
pound. Aud at this rate the Elk
City stage company discourages
shipments. A few days ago or
ders were given to give preference
to provisions aud necessaries of
life, WI lie the present condition of
the roads prevailed, and liquors,
cigars, playing cards, ETC., were
put at the bottom Of the list to be
transferred in order. 1t was no.
ticed that liquors and cigars ceased
but the packages of provisions in.
creased. This seemed natural, in
view of the urgent need for get
ting food into the camp to tide
season of impossible roads.
The other day, after an especially
stormy and eventful trip, ending
in a pile-up at night on top of the
outfit of freighter who had be-
come stuck in the road near the
station, large paste box labeled

exposed when it came to clearing
up the wreck next day.
"And what do you suppose |

box that gave me so much trouble

Surridge. one of the proprietors Of
the stage line.

frightiul crimes, make the same
impression on my mind that they do

enough, bitter enough, to express
my indignation. These horrors

things belong 10 an inferior race.
They are citizens of this great
republic and yet it does not seem
possible that such 6ends are
human beings. They are a dis

would institute suit against the sheriff
for damages for false Imprisonment. A

FATALITIES IN PHILIPPINES
Including Officers and Men Killed
by Disease and in Battle.


Seattle, Wash, July 29-The
Times prints this afternoon what
purports to be a full and unscored
list of fatalities in the American
army in the Philippines up to June
2 The list was furnished by Fred
+. Eitel, representative of Manila
Freedom, who claims to have OBJ
tanned his figures from the records
in the surgeon generals office at
Manila
The total mum Der of fatalities is
1868 officers, 500 privates and
IA civilians, attached to She army.
A remarkable feature of the record
is found in the statement that the
number of officers killed in battle
is out of all proportion to the num-
Der of privates killed. On the
other hand fewer officers died from
disease proportionately than pri-
Yates. Out of the twenty-three
officers dead, sixteen were killed
in action, two were drowned and
five died of disease as follows.
Typhoid, one; meningitis, two;
rheumatism of heart, one; paraly-
sis, one.
OF the 900 privates 294 died OF
wounds received in action, nine
were killed accidentally, and
twenty-three were drowned Sew
en- committed suicide. One hun
bred and six died of typhoid,
eighty nine of smallpox, forty
seven of dysentery, twenty-eight
of pneumonia, nineteen of malar-
ial fever and fourteen of meningi-
tbs. The remaining seventeen
died from various diseases.
OF the fourteen deaths among
civilians seven were from small
pox and three from gunshot
wounds received in action.

Durango, July 29.-The mem
bers of the smeltermen's union
gathered at the north bank of the
Animas river yesterday morning,
about 100 strong, and persuaded
about thirty non-union men not to
90 to work in the smelter. 1t is
thought the management will be
unable to continue and that the
fires will be drawn. All is peace
full. The union is confident of be-
ing able to hold out until they get

The union men have established

1t Is noticeable fact that there
has been a large increase in the
number Of male teachers in the
iast few years, and especially is
this true as to the white males.
The teachers are devoted to their
work, and, "a body, will com

of any southern State. They de-
serve sympathy and encourage

than advertise criticism. Their
continued devotion to teaching
