pushing the body onto the burned embers,
while 4 curious crowd OF several thousand
persons stlll fingered at the scene. II is
said that on the march through the city the
prisoners eyes had been burned out with
acid thrown from an eggshell. In all the
thousands that composed the mob there was
not a single attempt to conceal identity.
No man wore a mask All the leaders OF
the mob arc well known and there are hun
dreds OF witnesses who can testify to their
participation iri the tragedy. They are lead
ing citizens in all lines OF business and
many are members OF churches.
County Judge Harbeson will empanel n
special grand jury at once to make speedy
investigation and return indictments against
the leaders of the mob. The statement
from Frankfort that Governor Bradley pro-
poses to offer reward for the apprehension
Of members of the mob does not excite much
fear that the reward will be claimed While
there is a wide difference of opinion among
residents of the city who were not con
nected with the mob yet there is a strong
feeling that no punishment will result from
this tragedy.

Relic Hunters MutiInte the Body

The body was left lying there and at pres
ent writing has not been removed. Relic
hunters took away the teeth and bones and
flesh and every fragment OF the body that
they. could lay hands on. All afternoon
children, some of them not more than g
years old, kept up the fires on the blackened
body by throwing grass, kindling wood,
brush. bits of boards and everything COM
bustible that they could gather. This they
kept UP till dark.
1t is related that Coleman, before COM
mitting his crime, threw pepper into his
victims eyes from a pepperboN One OF
the mob used that same pepperbox today
to throw pepper in Colemans eyes as soon
as he was lashed to the stake. To make
sure of a good job he held open one eyelid
after the other and peppered them success
sively and dropped the eyelids
In this city the action of the mob is
enthusiastically approved especially by
women, who think hereafter they will be
safer in consequence. Some men deprecate
mob law, but say this case was an eXcep-
tion to all rules. The latest report tonight
is that Coeman's mother is on the way here
to take charge of the ashes of her son.

do not believe the country will raise

The minimum estimate of 2,30s,000,000

raise as much corn as year ago, and
there is no more corn in Nebraska than
there was a year ago.

CYCLONE AND sKYscRAPER.

sist current of air ten or twenty times

TOO BUSY TO CELEBRATE.

The Marion Register says Labor Day
was not very much of a holiday be-
cause laboring men there, and in most
OF the other towns of the state, were
"as busy as bees" 1t was that way
here. Holidays are all right. and per-
Ihaps we have too few of them. but a
good days wages counts for something,
too, and some times holidays can wait
while an unfinished job can not. 1t is a
good that work is so plenty that men
can Jingle dollars in their pockets, for
they make better music than enforced
idleness can furnish.
