in Tacoma for several days, comforting

not been made public, but it is under

was definitely decided upon. The grfev-
ance which the trainmen have against
the railroad company is the result of
complaints that have been made that the

Enterprise, Ala, Aug s. "A mob OF
500 men, made up alike of whites and
blacks, yesterday morning burned at
the stake negro named John Wesley
Pennington, who had committed u
brutal assault upon Mrs. j. q. Davis,
wife of prominent farmer, and who
had confessed the crime.
Though the suffering man pleaded
for mercy and frantically endeavored
TO break the chains that bound HIM,
not trace of sympathy was shown.
The crime was committed on Tues
day afternoon. while Mrs. Davis was
gathering vegetables in her garden.
Pennington ohoked the woman into
insensibility, and fled through the
woods.
AS soon as she regained her senses
Mrs. Davis orawled to the house and
told her husband what had happened.
RUN DOWN. BY BACKGROUNDS,
A large posse was quickly organ
lied, with boodhounds, and they
chased the negro until early yester-
day morning, when he was captured
in swamp. He was bound hand
and foot and taken to the Davis home
for naturalization.
News of the assault on Mrs. Davis
had been spread for miles around
Enterprise, and every farmer in the
nei0hborhood had joined in the pur-
suit. When the posse arrived with
Pennington ut least 500 persons were
gathered near the Davis residence. A
shout went up when the prisoner APP
peared, but at a signal the men with
drew to the woods and quietly await
ed the result of the meeting of Perm
ington and Mrs. Davis.
Mrs. Davis recognized him as her
assailant and the negro broke down
and wept. He admitted having COM
mitted the assault, and pleaded for
mercy, but be was dragged from the
house to the woods, where the crowd

NEGROES HELPED BUILD FIRE.
Evidently expecting the confession
several men had already driven an
iron pipe in the ground and as the
captors approached with Pennington
both whites and blacks were piling
brushwood around the stake.
The negro saw his doom and with n
scream of terror fell in faint. He
was quickly revived and dragged to
the stake. while the crowd stood
silently by. The frightened man was
limp and had to be held up while the
chains were fast ened around his
neck and body. A match was applied
to the pile and with oil to feed uro',
the tiny flame soon burst into roar
ing fire.
DYING, PRAYED FOR FORGIVE
NESS.
The terrified negro again pleaded for
mercy in the most agonizing tones
and prayed to God that those around
him might perish. He then called up
on his Maker for forgiveness, and as
the flames leaped mp and encircled his
neck an agonizing shrek was heard
and silence followed The body was

CANNON AND GUNS CAPTURED
It Took Three Hours for Sergeant Mo- Mahon's Men to Climb the HiIl-Enemy Suffered Ter
 rible Losses.

Manila, November 24.-Captain Edward P. Lawton's company of the Nineteenth Infantry, has attacked and captured an insurgent fort on Bohol Island, south of Cebu in the yisayan group.
 This fort was surrounded on all sides by precipice and the only entrance to the higher ground was guarded by a stockade with a line of entranchments behind 1t. Captain Lawton sent Ser geant McMahon and twenty men to climb the precipice and attack the fort in the rear Sergeant McMahon's party accomplished their task after three hours climbing through the thick under growth of brush and vines that covered the almost perpendicular cliff. They took the enemy by surprise and drove them from the fort As the insurgents escaped they had to pass the remainder of Captain Lawton's company at a dis tance of 150 yards. Here the enemy suf- fered terrible losses.
 The insurgents defended themselves with both cannon and rifles. The cannon were captured, the smaller ones were re- moved while the larger ones were buried. Captain Lawton, in his report, makes special mention for bravery for Sergeant List and Sergeant McMahon.

SPEARS CLAIMS GROSS FRAUDS
 IN THE SEVENTH Contesting for the Seat of Re- prpsentative John L.
 Burnatt ATTORNEYS FILE BRIEF Rest Their Case on Alleged Irregular tiles in Winston and Etowah counties-Burnett's Ma
 Jority Was FAY.
ATTORNEYS FILE BRIEF

Denson and Ullman. attorneys for N. B. Spears, in the contested election case of Spears vs Burnett have forwarded to the clerk of the House of Representa- tives the brief of the contestant, MT. Spears.
 The contestant alleges fraud in count ing and certifying the vote, which on the face of the returns gives Representative Burnett majority of 747. In a brief in- troduction to the review of the testimony the contestant says:
 We have attempted in the pages fol- lowing to point out to the committee in a concise form the general forms of frauds practiced, as we conceive, in the election held on the 11th day of Novem- Der, 1900, by which, the face of the return, John L. Burnett was elected to a seat in the Fifty-seventh Congress by a majority of TAI.
 The following counties comprise the Seventh Congressional district of Ala bama: Cherokee, Cullman, DeKalb, Eto- wah, Franklin, Marshall, St. Clair and Winston.
 we call the committees attention to the fact that this is a white district. The committee has been used to hearing of election frauds in the Black Belt of Ala bama, and hearing the same justified up- on the theory of white supremacy But here Is white district. In Winston Coun- ty, only one negro voted, and in nearly all other counties. the whites are far in the majority, and yet we venture the as- sertion without fear of successful contra diction that no more lawless and unjus- tifiable prostitution and violation of the election law of Alabama ever disgraced the Democratic party than those practiced in this election.
 'We have selected as our battle ground Winston and Etowah Counties. Winston, because there is but one negro voter there and yet we find the most fragrant election frauds. Etowah, because 1t is the home county of contestee, and his majority on the face of the returns, as compared with the usual vote of the county was sus- picious, and when taken in connection with the proof. leads inevitably. to the conclusion that such majority was ob- tained by the practice of the grossest frauds"

 Myself and family are all greatly improved in health. We have largely abandoned the use of white bread. In wards of twenty-five persons have changed their diet, on my recommenda- tion. It is gladly given. because I know, from personal experience, whereof I speak
 It Is well-known fact that white bread is almost entirely composed of starch and this is difficult of digestion by many people, particularly those who have weak intestinal digestion. The result of the use of much white bread is a lack Of brain and nervous power to do mental work and 1t also creates intestinal troubles, because the excess of starch ferments in the intestines and makes the condition right for the growth of microbes; whereas Grape-Nuts breakfast food contains the needed starch, but in predigested form. That is, 1t is trans formed into grape sugar in the process of manufacture, and delivered in the packages, ready cooked. and in such shape that it is immediately assimulated without hard work of the digestive or gans.
 The food also contains the delicate par ticles of phosphate of potash which, com bined with albumen, is used by nature to make the gray matter that must be in the cells of the brain and the nerve cen ters throughout the body, in order to give strength and ability to stand long and continuous work. Both the Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts are sold by all first-class grocers.
