ST.. LOUIS, June 4.-Christine Thier,
10 years Of age, was set upon by crowd
of about 1900 men because she had rid.
den on car Of the St. Louis Transit

she alighted at Ninth street and Geyer
avenue at p. m. from q Cherokee car
she was approached by a young man,
who called her "scab." Others Joined
in the chorus. A young man tore of
her jacket and another her hat. She
was struck by the fists of men and
bruised about the face and body. A
pocketbook which she carried in her
hand was matched away and the money
taken.
Piece by piece her clothing was torn
away, while she appealed for entrance
to the nearest house. The occupants,
however, were afraid the mob would
tear down the building and refused her
admittance. She succeeded in reach
ing an alley and ran down it, followed
by the hooting men. There was little
window leading into a cellar: She
broke the glass and jumped in and
covered in a corner in the darkness.
Finally her prosecutors went away.
Then she called for help and the occu.
pants of the house received her, finally
taking her to her employers in Delmar
boulevard.
At GIG Twelfth street another Incl.
dent of the kind occurred. Stella Bod.
erick got off the car only to be assailed
and hooted by the mob. Her jacket
was torn from her by men. She ran
down an alley and into the house Of
Mrs. Foulke. The mob surrouned the
house and began throwing stones
through the windows. Mrs. Foulke got
q revolver and opened fire on the mob
from her front window and the mob
scattered.

.DURABlE WHiTEWASh.

How to Make the Mixture Used by
the Government.
Here is the recipe for the whitewash
which has been used with excellent re-
suit for more than 80 years on the
White House at Washington and on
the lighthouses maintained by the gov
eminent along the coasts:
Take a half bushel Of unslaked lime,
Stake it with boiling water, cover dur
ing the process to keep in steam, strain
the liquid through fine sieve or strain
er and add to it peck of salt previous
ly dissolved in warm water; three
pounds Of ground rice boiled to thin
paste and stirred in while hot, half a
pound of Spanish whiting and one
pound Of blue previously dissolved by
soaking in cold water and then hang
ing over in a small pot hung in a lar
ger one filed with water. Add five
gallons Of hot water to the mixture,
stir we'll and let it stand q few days
covered from dirt. It should be ap-
piled hot, for which purpose it can be
kept in a portable furnace.
The east end Of the presidents house
In Washington is embellished by this
brilliant whitewash, and it is used by
the government to whitewash light
houses. A pint Of this mixture If
properly applied will cover a square
yard and will be almost as serviceable
as paint for wood, brick or stone and
is much cheaper than the cheapest
paint. Men who have seen this mix
sture In use say that it remains bril-
liant and attractive five years after
being put on.-Kansas City Star.

MANILA, June 4.-Major Marsh with
his detachment Of the Thirty.third regi-
ment overlook what is believed to have
been Aguinaldo and his party on May
10 at Lagat, 100 miles north Of Manila.
The Americans killed or wounded an
officer supposed to be Aguinaldo, whose
body was removed by his followers.
Aguinaldo had 100 men, Major Marsh
$50. The American command reached
Iabuso, where Aguinaldo had made his
headquarters since March 8. On May
Aguinaldo had fed seven hours before,
leaving all the beaten trails and travel
ing through the forest along the banks
Of streams. Toward evening May 10
Major Marsh struck Aguinaldo's out
post about mile outside Of Lagat, kill
ing four Flipinos and capturing two.
From the latter he learned that Aguin.
aldo had been camped there for the
night. Although exhausted and half
starved, Major Marsh's men entered
Iagat on the run. They saw the insur.
gents scattering into the bushes or over
the plateau. Along the mountain side
near the town % Filipinos dressed in
white, with their leader on a grey horse
were seen. The Americans fired q VOL
Icy and shot the officer from his horse.
His followers fed, frying the body.
The Americans on reaching the spot
caught the horse, which was richly sad

Blood From a Badly Wounded Man
was on the animal and on the ground.
The saddlebags contained Aguinaldo's
diary and some private papers and let.

Philippines. There was also found

People,"
Major Marsh, believing that the Fill
pinos had taken to river, which is a
tributary to the Chicao, followed it for
two days, reaching Tiso, where he
learned the Filipinos had descended the
river on raft, with the body of dead
or wounded officer covered with palm

his tired and bruised officers and men,
picked out "a of the freshest, with
which he secured the country for six
days longer but without finding any

The officer shot was either Aguinaldo
or his adjutant, and as the horse WAS
richly caprisoned it is a fair presunp-
ton that it was Aguinaldo.

At THE RANCH.

From every point they gayly come; the bronchos'
unshod feet
Pat at the green sod Of the range with quick,
phatic beat.
The tresses Of the buxom girls as banners stream
behind,
Like silken castigating whips cut at the sweeping
wind.
The dashing cowboys brown Of face, sit in their
saddle thrones
And sing the wild songs Of the range in free, I'm.
cultured tones
Or ride beside the pretty girls. like gallant cav
alters,
And pour the usual fairy tales into their listening
ears.
Within the ''best roonl'' of the ranch the Jolly
gathered throng
Buzz like q swarm Of human bees and lade the
air with song;
The maidens tap their sweetest smiles and give
their tongues full rein
In efforts to entrap the boys in admiration's
chain.
The fiddler tunes the strings with pick Of thumb
and scrape of bow,
Finds one string Keyed q note too high, another
keyed too low,
Then resins up the tight drawn hairs, the young
folks in q fret,
Until their ears are greeted with the warning
words, "All set!''
