MILITARY FORCE INCREASED.
Military Men Think the Guard Too
Small for Safety.

Manila, Aug. 26-In the city Of
Manila there are now less than 1000
effective soldiers, and it has been de-
cided to increase this number fy four
companies of infantry. The official
reason for the increase is that the
guard duty is too heavy for the pres
ent force. As a matter OF fact, how
ever, there is a feeling that, although
there is no apparent prospect of trou-
BILE, nevertheless in the event of an
ways possible among the Malays, it
would be better TO have a sufficient
body of troops available for such an
emergency
General Chaffee says he considers
the city of Manila TO be perfectly or
derby and he can see no prospect of an
uprising Commissioner Wright
thinks the people extremely peace
able" He is satisfied that, although
among a certain class there is some
discomfort on account of the land tax
which is not yet understood, this class
is not likely TO foment trouble.
Many army officers express them
selves as gratihed at the increase in
the military force. They think that
with the military guard withdrawn
from the prison another uprising
there might result in the release Of
some l 800 prisoners. This possibility
is regarded as a menace to the city by
those who take that view of the case,
as they regard the white guard as in
sufficient.
Civil officials look upon this con
tingency as unlikely. inasmuch as the
500 white police could mobilize at the
prison before any Of the prisoners
could escape and become dispersed
throughout the disaffected district.

AN AGED VETERAN.
A Detroit Veteran Talks of the War
and the Legacy 1t Left Him.

When the Annual Reunion of the q.
a. Il. is held, Michigan is always well
represented. Around the camp fires OF
the encampment our boys tell of the
hardships they have gone through and
the listener who knows nothing of war
will wonder how they lived TO tell the
tale. Few men, who followed old glory
and escaped the shot and shell, re-
turned home without some legacy as a
constant reminder of their war days.
Our representative found Veteran o. =.
Newcomb, of Detroit, at his place of
residence, No. 237 Second street. Mr..
Newcomb told him how the little con-
oueror had rendered him invaluable
service. He gives his account here, and
some words of advice tersely told. He
said:
"A lake covering about two acres in
extent, containing the dead bodies of
20 mules, is not tempting water TO
drink, but l was one of the many who
drank it, and all of us would have done
so if we had known there was death in
every swallow. This illustrates but one
of the many hardships and privations
passed through during the Civil War,
and it is no wonder that g. a. Il. men
suffer from aches and pains, the most
prevalent of these being due to kidney
disorders. 1 am pleased to note that
great many others who passed through
as trying ordeals as /, have now learned
how these troubles can be mitigated.
When 1 say Doan's Kidney Pills will
cure them 1 not only speak from ex-
perience, but from observation. To
all old soldiers or anyone suffering
from kidney complaint my advice is to
try that remedy"

Not many Americans know that Hiram
". Grant was the 18th president
of the United States. Yet it is true, for
Ulysses Simpson" was never legally the
name of our greatest general. This in
teresting fact is brought out by Franklin
b. Wiley 10 the Ladies' Home Journal
for September. in Famous people as we
do not know them" The story of how
it came about was told by member OF
congress-Thomas l.. Hamer-who rec
commended young Grant as a candidate
for West Point in 1899. Mr.. Hamer had
long been a friend of the Grants, but
when he came to make out the applica-
ton papers for Ulysses be could not re-
call the boys full name. So, deciding
that he was doubtless named for his
mothers family, he wrote it Ulysses
Simpson Grant" Thus was it recorded
at West Point, and though the attention
of the officials was several times called
to the error they did not feel authorized
to correct it. This name was gradually
adopted, and by it Grant was, and al
ways will be, known. But as for any re-
cord of the birth of ULYSSES Simpson
Grant" that does not exist.

MURDERED A FARMERS WIFE TO
SECURE TWENTY DOLLARS.
SHOT AT HER YOUNG SON, BUT
MISSED HIM AND FLED.
CAPTURED AFTER A CHASE AND
PLACED IN JAIL.
ENTIRE COUNTRY GATHERED IN
A MOB AND BURNED HIM.

chattanooga, Ienn., Aug. 20
Henry Noles, a negro, was yesterday
burned by mob of citizens for Grim
inally assaulting and shooting to
death Mrs. Charles Williams, wife of
a prominent farmer near Winchester,
Tenn, last Friday. Admitting his
crime and asking his friends to meet
him in glory, he met his fate with a
groan.
He was captured early yesterday
morning at the water tank near Cow
an, Tenn, and was taken to Winches-
ter by his captors and placed in the
county Jail. Sheriff Stewart made
haste to barricade the Jail and pro-
tect the prisoner. Soon an angry mob
of several hundred men gathered, but
Assistant Atty.-Gen. Matt n Whitaker
appeared and made a speech to the
crowd, urging him to assist him in
allaying excitement and upholding the
majesty of the law. He promised to
reconvene the grand jury today to in
dict the negro promptly and have him
speedily tried at the present term Of
court, assuring the crowd That his con
viction and legal execution were a
foregone conclusion. This appeal was
supplemented by Judge j. j. Lynch,
Capt. w p. Tolley and others. No
sooner had their appeals been made
than several hundred citizens from
the neighborhood where the crime
was committed came up an augmented
the crowd TO thousands. They swept
forward upon the Jail, overpowered
the sheriff and his deputies took the
prisoner and started at 1915 a. m.
for the scene of the crime, II miles
distant.
The mob was determined, and it
seemed that almost the entire pOpula-
tion for miles around had turned out
to see the fate of the wretch. The
procession followed the mob to the
Williams home. Arriving at point in
sight OF the scene of the crime, the
negro was placed upon a stump and
given a chance to make a statement
He mounted to the stump stoldly and
laughed as he began his statement
He said
meet me in glory. / am going to make
that my home. t. my mother to
meet me where parting will be no
more
He was then asked as to whether
anyone else was implicated in the
crime. Noles stated emphatically
there was no one implicated but him
self
why did you kill Mrs. Williams"
was asked
Il just done that because / had moth
ing else to do"
He was taken from the stump,
bound TO a tree by chains and his body
saturated with oil.
At $40 p. m. a match was applied
and inst ntly the quivering body was
enve,ODCd in flames. Fence rails were
pile abost the burning body and soon
life was extinct The negro made no
outcry at any time and died as stolidly
as a stole
At least 5000 people witnessed the
horrible fate Of the negro. Many re-
NAMED until nightfall, augmenting
the blaze until the body was entirely
consumed. They then departed for
their homes quietly.
