CHEAP COAL.
Endless Chain Plan.

Can the endless chain principal be ap-
piled to selling a commodity like coal
with absolute fairness to all? A Journal
representative had a talk this morning
with Mr.. Webster of the WebSter-Tul-
loch Coal Co., and he thinks it can
After listening to his talk we are in
clined to think he is right.
To begin with no one is persuaded into
buying what they do not need. Then the
WebSter-Tulloch people propose to allow
parties to pay out when the coupons
they have sold are not returned and
books taken out for them. Judging by
the number of books they already have
issued it looks as though it would make
quite a boom in coal
We figure it out that quite a lot of
people will get a ton of coal for 15c
Then another and probably much small
er lot of people will get one ton for 15c
and the price of the one coupon from the
making 9Oc for the ton of COAL Still an
other class will have a coupons that will
not be returned and their ton will cost
them two 75c pieces and 15c or 81 65 and
SO on to the unfortunate individual who
has none of his coupons returned.
He in order to save his 15c would have
to pay $375 more, making his ton of coal
cost $3.50, a trifie high priced today but
if the coal dealers generally are cor
rect the time is almost at hand when it
would be quite cheap for at least some
of the Goals in the list. To sum it up it
looks like a very good chance for every
body
Who is willing to do a little rustling to
sell coupons to be either fairly well or
mighty well paid for this work?

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 20.-The closing Of
the state reunion of the G. A. r. here
was marked by riot and the attempted
lynching of negro by mob.
Charles Cant, the object of the wrath
of the mob created a disturbance on the
grounds and officer Howe reprimanded
him. Grant wrested a billiard cue from
a boy, and sneaking up behind Howe,
felled him to the ground with blow
over the head. He ran with a squad OF
officers and a hundred or more angry
white men in pursuit. Cant was over
taken after a chase of more than mile
He was standing in a swamp, the water
up to his waist. The prisoner was
brought back to the grounds, where
mob of several hundred whites formed
and charged the police in an endeavor to
get possession of the negro.
A rope was taken from one of the re-
union tents and cries of Lynch him.,
kill the nigger," displayed plainly the
mob's intention. The police surrounded
the prisoner and beat back the mob with
their clubs.
Cant was finally hurried out of the
grounds and taken to Jail. Officer Howe's
head was severely cut. He was uncon-
scious from the effects of Gant's blow
until this morning. Cant was charged
with assault with intent to kill.
