Ing Woman.
Charles Young, a negro charged with
assaulting and afterwards numbering
Mrs. Edward Lewis, a white woman,
was burned at Forest City, Ark, by a
mob of nfuriated citizens. Sheriff W.
e. williams used every effort against
this extreme measure. He had tele-
phoned to Judge Hutton, of that dis
trict, who had promised to come the
next day and give immediate trial to
the negro, and the leaders Of the mob
had given the sheriff positive pledges
that they would await the trial and
take no violent measures.
About 500 o'clock a mob marched TO
the Jail and demanded the keys. Dep
uty Sheriff Murphy undertook to COM
municate with Sheriff Williams,
whereupon members of the mob forci-
bly, took the cell keys from Murphy,
and breaking in the cell door with
sledge hammers. dragged the prisoner
from his cell. Sheriff Williams had
arrived in the meantime, his protests
being unheeded.
The mob took the negro TO a point
about half u mile east Of town, bound
him, piled wood around him and set
fre to II.
The negro begged piteously for his
life, but the mob turned deaf ears. In
a short time the flames leaped up and
he expired In the presence Of the sew
eral hundred men composing the mob.
After Young had been put to death,
the mob started in quest of another
negro, alleged to have been implicated
in the killing of Mrs. Lewis, but was
unable to end him.

Twenty Million Days In the Present Year
Lost Through Labor Wars.


Lost Through Labor Wars.
The annual volume on the mineral
resources Of the United States for 1901 +,
prepared by DIR. David l.. Day OF the
geological survey, has been sent TO the
press and will be issued soon. An in
teresting feature of the report Is a
compilation OF statistics showing the
number OF working days lost In strikes
in the coal industry. These figures
include the present year and are
brought up to date. The total number
OF days lost for the present year is
placed at 2O,oOO,OOo days, compared
with 1913, 500 days in 1901; 4,s7s, io2 In
1900 and 2.1e4.l54 in 1899.
The report places the total mineral
product Of the year at 81 ,0s6, $50, SCI, n
gain of a little more than per cent
over the production OF 1900. The gain
was made in the non-me Ia lie products

WHAT DID NOAH EAT?
Pertinent Question as to Sustenance
on Board the Ark.

on Board the Ark.
There Is no record. so far as know,
OF what Noah and his family ate dur
ing the food. After telling Noah what
to take in the ark, God said: Every
living substance that have made will
| destroy from off the face of the
earth" There were no tanks in the
ark, according to the best known de-
signs, therefore the aquarium existed
not. There is no record of the price
of beef; therefore we are permitted
to draw an inference. Beef was high
err then than 1t has been since. for It
was on a par with the game, and
game was higher than the highest
mountains of earth. Therefore fish.
God did not tell Noah to take fish into
the ark He must have thought that
fish could take care OF themselves,
But all flesh and creeping things were
destroyed. the chances are that
Noah and the boys wet few lines
during the forty days and nights of
water, but they may have used nets.
The first mention that we have of fish
hooks is about 1877 b. c., whereas
Noah and the boys were catching
founders and "weaks" in 2349 B. c.

DEATH IN A FIERY FURNACE.
rHIRTY.FlvE PEOPLE BELIEVED TO HAVE
MET DEATH IN A CHICAGO FIRE.
Men worhing on the seventh Floor Unable
to Make Their Escape and Met u
Horrible Death Number of Dead
Not Yet Known.

Five men are known to have iost
their lives in n Gre which partially de-
stroyed the plant of the Chicago
branch Of the Glucose Sugar Refining
company, situated at Taylor street and
the Chicago river. The list OF the dead
will certainly be much greater than
five and may reach as high as thirty.
The estimates run all the way from
that number down to ten. Only one
OF the FIVE men whose bodies have been
recovered has been identified.
The fire broke out with an explosion
In the drying house, which lie seven
stories in height and stands close to
the main building Of the plant, which
Is fourteen stories high. A third
structure is four stories high. The
two smaller buildings were destroyed
and the larger building was badly
damaged.
The fire spread after the explosion
with such rapidity that 1t was impos-
sible for the men in the upper stories
Of the drying house 70 make their
escape, and it is the number Of men
believed to have been at work on the
seventh floor that causes the uncer.
tainty in the list OF dead. Some
Of the employees who made their
escape say there were twenty or thirty,
and others say there were not more
than ten at work when the fire broke
out Whatever the number, all are
dead. Four men leaped from the up
per floors and all met death.
