.a iCdniSm.

San Luis Obispo. Cal, Sept. 71901.
On September 7th a telegram to the
newspaper from Marietta, Ohio, an
nounced that an ex-Mayor of that
place, on hearing that the President
was shot exclaimed 81 am glad he is
dead. He ought to have been dead
long ago. whereupon S. A. Seipel
made lunge for his throat and chok-
ed him until life was almost extinct.
The following letter was addressed
to Mr.. Seipel by citizens of this city
and accompanied by a massive gold
ring inscribed with the date of the
event:
San Luis Obispo California, Sep
tember, 8. 1901.
Mr.. S. A, Seipel
Marietta, Ohio.
Dear Sir; The ring that accompan-
les this letter is sent you to decorate
the good right hand which lost no
time in stopping the breath that gave
its yelp of satisfaction at the crime
against che President
The country needs hands as swift
as yours. Such hands should have
reached that person who dishonors
the State of Maryland by being its
senator They should yet reach
those editors who refuse to abide by
the constitutional voice of the majori-
ty and heap every falsehood and
every beIittlement upon the chosen
head of the American people.
The patriotic trainers of our Con
stitution did not anticipate the ne
cessity OF providing punishment for
such he would betray the government
under which they live; but there will
always be Americans like yourself
who know how to bring the Constitu-
tion upto date.
Thanking You for your inspiritine
tion up to date.
Sincerely Yours,

A LYNCHING IN INDIANA
Negro Taken From Jail at Terre
Haute by a Mob.
George Ward, Who Murdered Miss Fink
elstein, q School Teacher, Hanged and
Buraed Before a Large Crowd.

Terre HarSe, Ind.-Ward, the negro
who murdered Miss Finklestein, a
school teacher. was caught by the po-
lice and confessed his crime. Later
he was taken from Jail and lynched.
An infuriated mob gathered in front
of the city Jail and battered down the
outer door. Jailer Lawrence O'Don-
nell appeared with a shotgun ard fired
over the heads Of the citizens in a vain
attempt to stampede them. Three dep
uty-sheriffs were wounded By shots
from.the crowd.
The report of Wards confession was
passed through the streets, and. rein
forced by hundreds of recruits, the
mob redoubled its attack and succeed
ed in entering the Jail. Ward was
dragged from his cell into the street
and lynched. His body was burned.
The crime for which Ward suffered
death was the murder of Ida Finkel-
stein, a Jewess, twenty years old, who
taught a country school four miles
from the city. She lived in the city,
and was on her way home when as
saulted. Ward shot her in the head
and afterward cut her throat with a
knife. The girl walked 4 mile after
the assault. and revived sufficiently
to give a description of her assailant,
but died in five hours.
Ward was arrested and confessed to
the crime. His only excuse for the
murder was that Miss Finkelstein
called him a dirty niger and
slapped his face. Sheriff Fasig. fear
ing violence, communicated with Gov
ernor Durbin, and the Governor or
dered Captain Thomas. of Company 3.
to place his company. fully armed, in
a position to be Immediately ready for
duty in response to 4 call from the
Sheriff. Before the Sheriff could call
on the militia the prisoner was in the
hands of the mob.
There was no attempt at disguise
made by any Of those in the lynching
party.

Fixing the Heart ON God.

Throughout Christian history no char
acteristic Of the genuine believer has
been more noteworthy than the fact that
God is the chief subject Of his thought
and affection. He may be the busiest Of
men, with large and diversified interests
Of all sorts. and he may have gained sue
cess and honor by his energy and skill in
his occupation. But it is his popularity
that he is animated in all his business or
professional intercourse by the distinct
purpose to serve God, and that. when
ever there comes an interval, his
thoughts turn ut once in some form tc
his Heavenly Father. He does not pa
radc the fact. He is more apt to be
rcticent about it. But. as you, grow
intimate with him. you learn that his
relation and that Of his fellows to the
Almighty. his obligation to live
righteously. and his privilege in ex-
periencing and illustrating the divine
love are the background and foundation
Of all that he does and is. His heart is
fixed upon God.

awakened by a terrific explosion. He
discovered the new geyser. about zoo
feet south of the famous Fountain gey-

hot water fully 600 feet in the air. the
water gushing forth from hole about
five feet in diameter with loud roar.
Mr.. King says that for one hour and
thirty minutes the column shot up. 1t
then subsided ard has since been
playing at regular intervals of about
two hours.

How are we ever TO clothe orr nak"a
limbs with vPrnal robes, and decorate the
floor OH which we stand with nUwers

winds go bowling through them. They
cannot do it by themselves. But with
one slow tilt Of the old earth on its axis,
God turns its face Il little more toward
the snll. And 10! the sap asleep within
the frozen ducts awakes and winds along
it's ways. On every limb and every
branch ten thousand thousand buds ap-
pear, and swell and burst. and 10!
Comes the spring, with all it's splendor,
All its buds and all it's blossoms.
All it's flowers and leaves and grasses"
How am to slough off my old vices?"
cries humanity. GGd knows. How am |
to adorD myself with new virtues? God
knows How is the millennium to come?

Motawan. n J.-Charles Herbert, a
resident of this town, wastwice hanged
by the neck by excited citizens because
he was suspected of having set an in
cendiary fire. He persisted in assert
ing his innocence on being let down
the second time. and the crowd con-
tented itself with having him locked
up in jail
The business portion Of the town was
swept by an incendiary fire on Janu-
ary 81. The firebug had not been dis
covered. There was an alarm of fire
while services were being held In the
churches Sunday evening. The wor-
shpers poured out upon the stfeetS

lives on the outskirts Of the town.
A vigilance committee was appoint
ed and sent for Herbert. He was
found and dragged to q nearby barn.
"A pair Of plow-lines was procured,

the crowd put a moose about the mans
neck, threw the line over beam. ana
hauled Herbert of the floor.
. After he had hung moment he was
let down and asked what he had to
say.
Il am as innocent as an unborn
child" he cried.
Again he was jer!ied from the floor
and suspended three feet in the air.
After he had been nearly strangled he
was again lowered and still stoutly
maintained his innocence.
Herbert was so earnest in declaring
that he had had nothing to DO with
the fire that the mob cooled down and
the moose was removed from his neck.
Followed by an excited and yelling
crowd Herbert was taken to the Town
Hall. There is no direct proof Of the
mans guilt. although there is said to
be strong circumstantial evidence
against him.
/! Herbert's hearing was waived. and
he was committed to the county jail
at Freehold. The authorities here
feared for his safety in the town jail.
He will now be held for the action of
the Grand Jury. Residents breathe
more freely, believing that the hrebug
has been caught.

The Most Valuable Lessons.

The things we prize most are not those
we have gathered. as one plucks flowers
on a summer hillside, from the gardens
Of ease and worldly pleasure. They arc
things that have become ours through
pain, struggle, self-denial, and tears
The lessons learned with greatest diff
Guilty are the ones that are most to us in
valne and profit. Out of the hardest ex-
periences of struggle and sacrifice we get
the qualities that are the brightest orna-
ments of our character and the nobicst
elements Of our strength. The lenses
through which now we see deepest into
heaven once were salt tears. The treas
ureS we hold now with firmest clasp once
seemed marred things, unsightly. un-
lovely things we Shrank from receiving.
The points in our past which now ap-
pear to have been fullest of outcome OF
good for our life, are those which at the
timr seemed Gods strange ways with
us. Christian joy is transformed sorrow.

Kemmerer Wyo. - Thirty-fve for
eigners have perished in a fire which
was discovered in the sixth level Of
the Diamondyille Coal Mine No. l..
Only one man, John Anderson, was
able tc reach the main shaft and es-
cape, SO quickly did the fire spread
through the level.
The fire was discovered in the sixth
level of the mine, when the night shift
of men. all foreigners, had been at
work several hours. They were scat
tered along the workings, some dis
tance back from the main lead
Every plan known to mining experts
was quickly put into operation for the
checking Of the fire, but without ap-
parent effect. Bands Of men went
down the shaft repeatedly and tried to
face the flames, which were eating
their way through the level, but were
invariably compelled to retreat.

TiDplinr in the Boudoir.

Drinking among women is greatly on the
increase. You have the insidious tippling
of the boudor. the reckless intoxicat;on
OF the ball room, the blind indulgence of
the sick chamber. There is no doubt that
the drinking of women has enormously
increased among lis of late years. In Man
chester in Guarlcr OF a century the per-
c2ntage has risen from eighteen to twenty
eight In Sheffield. in two years, the pro.
portion had risen from fifteen to twenty
four per cent. In Liverpool, in one year,
there were more women committed than
men. In London the number of women
summoned for drunkenness had grown
from fifteen to forty-nine per cent, or
nearly ouchalf Of the whole.

Drunkenness Cured by Medical Science,

#. D. Crothers believes that when inc.
briefly shall be more generally studied and
treated as disease by the profession, a
degree of durability will be obtained far
beyond any present expectation. The con-
tinued or occasional use of spirits to in
toxication is not the disease, but is a
symptom of some central irritation and
exhaustion; also of poisoning and starva-
tion. Many of these cases are self-limted,
and follow certain course, dying away
after time. The subsistence of the drink
symptom by the removal of the exciting
causes and building up the system to
greater vigor and health is the only ia.
tional treatment. The highest medical
judgment will be eded to determine the
exact condition in each case and the pos
sibe range of remedies rcquired-not any
one drug or combination of drugs, not So
called moral remedies, not appeals to the
will power, but clear, broad, scientific
application OF every rstIonal means @ and
