SON TOOK VENGEANCE.
Killed the Man Who Helped Lynch
His Father.

DALLAS, TEX, July 22.-Three
white farmers, James Humphreys ana
his two sons, John and George, were
taken from their homes in Henderson
County, so miles from Dallas, and
lynched by a party of eleven white
men, all neighbors. One year ago the
members Of the mob were tried and
eight Of them are now serving life sen.
fences In the state penitentiary. One
OF the ringleaders Of the mob, John
Greenhaw, and two Others, turned
states evidence.
Greenhaw furnished the main testi-
mony on which convictions were made
and got his liberty for his testimony.
A sequel to the lynchings and trials
came Saturday afternoon near the
spot where the lynchings took place.
Greenhaw had been TO the village OF
Alley. AS he and his wife were leaving
the court house two shots rang out
from the corridor and Greenhaw fell,
mortally wounded, shot twice through
the back Greenhaw made an ante
norton statement declaring that
be had been shot by William Humph-
reys, son Of one Of the victims of the
lynchers.
On the strength Of this statement
young Humphreys was arrested. He
was about one mile from the scene Of
the shooting when taken into custody.
He takes his arrest uncOncernedly.

his Latest Grief May Finally Influence
a Boer Surrender.

LONDON, July 2l-The death OF Mrs.
Kruger may have some influence in
shortening the war. Mr.. Kruger him
self has been reported to be exceed
ingly respondent over the military
operations, and the correspondence
between Reitz and Steyn has Justified
his discouragement. His domestic
bereavement may cause him 10 lose
heart for continuing a hopeless strug-
gle. His Dutch physicians have been
warning him for months against the
consequences OF excitement, since his
heart action is abnormally weak.
The STORY is brought by influential
South Africans that Gen. Botha was
strongly disposed to surrender, but
did not consider himself at liberty TO
do so against the Judgment Of Mr..
Kruger, Gen. Botha has a family to
provide for, is poor and without re-
sources. South Africans assert that
he is respondent upon allowances
which Mr. Kruger has agreed to make
for him II he continues the struggle so
long as possible.
There is no practical method of
verifying these explanations, but this
account comes from South Africans
who ough I to know what they are
talking about.

HERE Is A STRANGE BAND.
Led by q Woman, They Have Been
Driven From Many Cities.

RICHMOND, VA, July 20.-The sane
titled band, a company Of twelve
women and nine men whose doctrines
are very strange and which are at
some places repudiated by force, has
arrived at Smithfeld, Va, and their
first public service was held last night
conducted on a prominent schooner
before a large crowd. Not knowing
the binding results Of the bands vista
tion at some other points, Smithfield
people have not yet shown pronounced
hospitality, Sadie Collins, whose name
is well known In three states, is re-
cognized leader. When Joe Lynch was
associated with her IN the leadership
the band vas forcibly expelled from
~Chinicoeage island, where It was alleg-
ed their teachings corrupted the COM
munity's morals Later they arrived
In a hOuse-boat, OF MOntrose, n. c.
They, 1t is said, have left husbands
and daughters, fOrsook parents, all be-
cause OF the principles promulgated by
the sanctiicationists. There was a
battle between the band and enraged
citizens. One Of the Sanctiiied women
was shot 10 death.

structures on all sides being aglow
with electric light
In my letters ! have mentioned
only a few OF the myriad wonderful
features OF the Pan-American Exposi-
tion. To say a few words about all Of
them would require a great amount
OF space. To attempt TO give afaith-
full description OF them would be TO
invite failure half way. You must
see this great Exposition In order to-
appreciate its beauties and grandeur
l met a friend Of mine to-day at the
Hoffman House, who reminds me OF.
what I wrote in my last letter about
going in debt. He was well dressed
and wore diamonds, but was broke,
and told me s0wed everybody" Men
who owe for luxuries and do not pay
are 10 some extent dishonest. Men
may have 60 go In debt for bread and
meat for their families but for dia-
monds and fine clothes and other
Injuries, never. Some people who
put on the most style " for what
they wear. They look down on the
merchant and at the same time owe
him for the clothes they wear and
the groceries they eat, besides being
in debt for all the stylish things they
make a spread with. They should be
made TO pay cash. The nearer BUSH
ness is brought to a cash basis the
better of the country will be.
The Republican papers T tickled
to death and say that Bryan is mot
going TO stay with the Democratic
party, but viii lead a bolt We
don't believe it. Thousands Of loyal
Democra stayed with the party and
voted for Bryan when they did not
agree with his ideas as embodied in
his platform. He had their earnest
support twice, each time on a plat
form he dictated. II it should hap
pen land it willy that some other man
viii be nominated on a platform
written by the people, but different
from the one on which he was defeat
ed, we feel sure he win stand by his
party and give it loyal support.
The Democratic party is bigger than
any one mar and win live long after
Bryan and Cleveland and all the rest
OF this generation Of statesmen have
gone to their reward. Bryan will
stay with his party and will be found
working just as hard for the election
OF its nominee for President as If he
occupied that position himself. Only
his political enemies Che has no other
kind predict his bolt. Every true
Democrat win stand by the party in
1904. r. NJ. WHITE.

Before the registration closes the
totals viii easily go up close to 2OO,OOO
The final struggle to get on the books
win be fierce and it is not improbable
that there win be fighting for a place
ia line before the booths are closed.
Registration Of homeSeekers Of the
Indian lands in Oklahoma win close
on Friday.
The drawing takes place Monday,
July %, when on Aug. 6, those who
have won prizes can take possession Of
their lands.
The crowd Is an entirely different
one every day, a large percentage COM
ing solely TO see the sights, and
register merely because they are here
and have the opportunity. The hotels
are jammed. Ice costs 4 cents apound.
Usually it sells at half a cent. Water
is procurable in sufficient quantities
for everything save sprinkling, which,
for the time being, is prohibited. Ham
sandwiches and coffee form the diet Of
the majority who are here only for a
day. Food prices are still normal.
Victor Murdoch, managing editor OF
the Wichita Eagle, originator of the
idea Of drawing for land to be opened
by the government, instead Of by rush,
has Registered.
Gambling in every form still
fiourishes unmolested, the suppression
Of a few days ago being merely a spasm
following a protest OF governor Rich
ards. The old and so-termed legitimate
gambling is conducted in hastily
arranged rooms, the %sure-thing games
in booths upon the street. So far no
protest has been made, ave by Gov.
Richards.
Beer flows freely, the saloons having
more than they can do. No cleaning
up is done, business is too rushing.
The mirrors are too dirty to reflect any
thing. Everything is dirty, glasses are
never washed, yet no n objects as
long as they get the beer. Many Of the
shows In town are equal to the worst
and are doing a rushing business. The
churches have been turned into lodg-
ing houses.

What Has Become Of Him


What has become Of the old-fash-
Toned man who wore a paper collar
and who brought the printers a jug Of
cider when he came TO town at the
last season Of the year, and who later
on, about hog killing time, brought
the editor enough liver and tenderloin
to last a week? 1t vas this same old
fashioned man who drank sassafras
tea in the spring to thin his blood, and
who wore ~suspenders which he called
"galluses'' knit from wool grown on
the backs Of his own sheep. He was
the man who owned the long muzzle-
loading rifle that had a hole bored in
the stock to keep tall0w lin it to
moisten the patches with, and he
got up at 4 O'Clock In the morning and
went out to ''roost'' turkeys. The
same old-fashioned man gathered
enough hickory nuts every fall 10 make
a wagon load and brought them to
town and exchanged them for his
winter supplies. He pinned his
weather representations to the goose
bone and corn husks, and his faith
therein was generally justified. He
weaned his calves and planted his
potatoes according to the complexion
OF the moon and he remembered Peter
Cartwright and most OF his famous
doings. He lived in a settlement
and his girls ''set up in the kitchen
with the young men who ''shyed"
aroud them. He carried bis money in
his weasel-skin purse and paid sl.5Ol
In advance for his country paper. He
lived all over Missouri and his name
was legion, but he is gone and little is
Of either himself or family.

REFERRING to labor troubles and
strikes the Jefferson City Tribune
editorially says; ''The settlements OF
labor troubles In New York, Pennsyl-
yania, California and elsewhere by
frank and friendly conferences OF
those Immediately interested are hope
full signs Of the times. By these set
Elements in which there was appar-
entity no surrender Of principle upon
either side, but merely a proper recog-
milton Of the claims Of thlae concern
ed long, costly and dangerous strikes
were avoided and business proceeded
with sEzrzieally no interference. As
ar as can be judged from this distance
and from newspaper reports, the set
Elements were brought about by a
frank recognition Of the fact that Co
operation between capital and labor
was necessary in order to carry on any
enterprise successfully. Both EN-
ployer and employe recognized this
fact. Each regarded himself as inter.
ested Ia the business; each respected
the rights Of the other, and the result
was-no strike. Strikes are always a
result Of misunderstanding, agitation
or an ugly spirit upon the part Of one
or the other side OF the controversy.
They can be avoided by a frank I'm.
derstanding, By a cordial recognition
o. the interests involved and by a
general cooperation in the enterprise
by those who furnish the labor as well
as those who supply the capital. In
this way bitter and useless conflicts
will not occur, but the welfare Of all
parties win be promoted"

CHARLES A. TowNE. the leader Of
the Silver Republicans Of the West
and who was nominated for Vice
President, last year. by his party and
the Populists, has abandoned politics
and engaged in a hunt for wealth as
the head of an oil company with g.
10000 capital that win operate in
Texas. Mr.. ToEne no sooner becomes
allied with and the representative Of
capital than his attitude toward
public questions changes. Once the
most rabid advocate OF free silver, be
now says that silver coinage is a dead
issue He explains that he champion
ed free silver because he believed the
country needed more money, but that
need has been met by the Klondike's
yield Of gold, and So long as we get
more money it's better TO have it in
gold than in silver. As for Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Towne thinks there is no chance
Of his ever being President or even
a candidate for President, unless he is
nominated by a faction Of extremists
for the sole purpose Of insuring the de-
feat Of the regular Democratic candi-
date.

REFERRING 10 the movement to

Democratic ticket the Marshall gMo.)
Iasiez editorially says: ''The PROPOSE

brethren affect TO believe. They.
know Southern Statesmen are honest;
they know they we're at the helm

that nine out Of every ten Of Ameri-

fovorites and Official money-getting to

that a majority Of the voters Of the
