There is report tonight that other
lynchingS have been planned. Old man
Harmon, who was brought here from Bra
I'll for safe-keeping, is to be restored to-
night TO the Clay county authorities. There
was report to-day that lynchers would
come over from Brazil for him, and to-
night these stories were told with more
positiveness. Harmon killed a youth who.
with others, was making noise near the
disorderly house kept by Mrs. Harmon.

rested a year ago for robbery and served
a short term in jail. He is known to have
assault white women, and IL is believed
that he made an indecent remark to Miss
Finkelstein, who did call him a dirty mig

If the jailer had fired his shotgun at the
feet of the mob instead of over the heads

II IS evident that the Vanderbilt lines will

American exposition 10 be held at Buffalo,
it being in the heart of the territory COW
cred by their lines, and while the passenger
officials are preparing TO handle a large
business. it Will be carried on a different
policy than was the worlds fair travel,
when regular trains were increased in num-
Der and much of the profits of the seasons
business lost by running more trains than
were actually necessary. In this connection
A. j. Smith, general passenger agent of the
Lake Shore, recalls an interesting expert
ence with the worlds fair at Chicago. They
labored under the impression that the bust
ness would start with a rush as soon as the
doors were opened, and so decided TO put
on number of excursions that could make
a day run and would get into Chicago about
the middle of the forenoon and return at
night Two trains were made up at different
points and were to meet ct Fort Wayne.
When they arrived there both trains car
ried an aggregate of twelve persons. There
after special service was provided to meet
an actual demand. The demand came later,
and before the LIST of October the Lake
Shore was running trains in fifteen sec
tons. Mr. Smith believes that travel to
the Pan-American will be much on the or
der of that to Chicago
Under the policy TO be pursued, as busl-
ness develops special service Will be al
forded to meet such increase Aside from
the Pan-American travel. this year prom
ises to break all records in passenger earn
ings of Central Traffic Association lines, so
many meetings are TO be held at points
which give the Central Traffic Association
lines advantage. There Is not an Indian
apolis line which has not for some time
past, and will certainly for some time TO
come, show increase in revenue from pas
senger service over any former year in cor

Representative Edward s. Roberts has

back Senator Guthrie in his own coin for
the latter's cruel remarks a few days
ago concerning the sl0wness Of the pages
in the House. Mr.. Roberts was in con-
sultation with Senator Guthrie yesterday
afternoon and during the talk the two
found it necessary to secure a copy of a
certain House bill. Senator Guthrie slapped
his hands together and a page came quick
ly in response to the summons. He was soon
on his way after the desired bill. Some
time afterwards Mr.. Roberts referred to
the bill again, and Senator Guthrie re-
peated the call for a page. When one of
the little fellows came running up to him
he told him to go over To the House and
get copy of a certain bill, stating the num-
Der of the bill. 'Oh, gee" calculated the boy,
"a page has been after that bill for about

NO PHONETIC SPELLING.
Prominent Educators Strike n Blow
at the Reform Movement.

CHICAGO, Feb ga heavy blow was
dealt at the proposed system of phonetic
spelling when the department of superin-
tendents Of the National Educational Asso-
citation, in session in this city, refused,
by vote of 105 to ", to allow the ques-
ton to be taken into consideration by a
committee of the best-known educators i'm
the country. A heated discussion pre-
ceded the vote. The meeting was held in
University Hall, in the Fine Arts build
ing. The discussion was brought about by
a petition presented to the congress by
e. o. Vail, of Chicago. The document
proposed that the association set aside
$1,000 for five years for the work OF spread
ing a general adoption of spelling reform
under the direction of a permanent COM
mission. This petition was Endorsed in
printed form by William r. Harper, pres
ident of the University of Chicago; e.
Benjamin Andrews chancellor of the Uni
versity OF Nebraska, and a score of other
prominent educators.
The principals in the controversial arena
were Mr.. Vail and Mr.. Thompson, a
literary critic and well-known clubman.
They were preceded by John Mcdonald,
Topeka; E. b. Prettyman, State superin-
ttndent of Maryland; Francis w; Parker.
United States Commissioner of Education
Earris and others.
Mr.. Vail said: Not a single philologist
in this country or in Europe can be named
who is not unequivocally in favor of
amending our spelling. We have $4,000
in funds, and what is that for IL not to
create a REFORM
Mr.. Thompson said: What we need is
not a reform In the spelling of the Eng
lish tongue but reaction against the
CHASTITY failure to teach spelling in our
schools at ALL But, gentlemen, the SPELL
ing reformers are humbugs. What they
propose is not reform. 1t Is mere freak
abbreviation.
