A few days ago an alarm was sounded
over the advent Of the Russian thistle In
the northwest, and voluminous Instructions
were given farmers for guarding against
the pest by erecting fences against which
the thistles would lodge and from which
they could be taken and burned. But now
It appears that the farmers have found a
better use for the weeds. When cut green
and cured they mRk excellent feed for
stock. and thousands Of tons are put up
for this purpose annually. There has been
no complaint Of the thistle as q pest for .
long time.

Mr.. e. w. Caldwell. who has been
nominated by the republicans Of Sioux
City as their candidate for mayor, was
a resident of Omaha during territorial
days and favorably known to the pho
neers Of this city as editor Of the
Omaha Times, founded by the irrepres-
sible Charley Collins. Mr.. Caldwell has
since distinguished himself in the public
service In positions OF honor and trust
in South Dakota and Iowa. His cleo
ton to the position Of mayor Of Sioux
City would not only reflect credit on the
profession. but we feel sure would give
the people OF Sioux City an executive
whose high character and indomitable
energy would be a guaranty OF an eff
Gent, economic and progressive admin
istration OF their municipal AFFAIRS.

After the Drunkards.

st. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. l6.-The
Salvation Army has started a
corps of solicitors to work compil-
ing directory containing the
names of all drunkards in the city.
Several men who stand high in
the community, but get in their
cups occasionally, have made some
interesting movements i'll an effort
to keep their names out of the
book. 1t is expected that the di-
rcctory will be completed within
month or six weeks, and then
the army will set to work to re-
claim the fallen unfortunates.
Some of the merchants will
make an effort to secure copies OF
the directory for the use of their
credit men, the assumption being
that Il man who is confirmed
drunkard is slow pay, no matter
what his standing in other direc'
tons may be.

NEGRO MOBBED.
Gibes and SnOwbailS Lead
to the Trouble.

New Madrid, Mo, Feb 1S.-Thc
negro minstrel troupe of which
Louis Wright, of Ottawa, kas. +,
lynched here Sunday night, was II
member, has left this town. The
other negroes, who had been put
in Jail, were rcle ased yesterday.
More details of the lynching
have been allowed to get out. The
troupe was Richard and Pringlc :
Georgia Minstrels. The MINISTRIES
paraded the streets of the town
and became the target for the gibcS
and the snowballs of young men
and boys on the streets. \ fight
began on the street, but was stop
ped by the town marshal. When
the hour for the evening perform
ance arrived the opera house was
packed and jammed. Jeers, cat
calls and Kisses punctuated the en-
tertainment. Sentimental ballads
were received with laughter; the
funny gags and jokes brought
forth groaus. Some of the min
strels made no effort to please and
frequently addressed personal re-
marks to members of the audience.
When the show closed a mem
Der of the audience went on the
stage with the avowed intention Of
doing up the showmcn." One of
the members of the minstrel com
pany opened fire with revolver
Half dozen pistols were fired at
random by the negroes and white
men. Panic ensued in the hall
and men, women and children
rushed from the building. Twen-
ty shots were fired and one negro
received bullet wound in the leg.
Clay Hunter, son of a. b. Hunt
er of this city, received a scalp
wound. Four bullets passed thru
the clothing worn by Winton Lew
is. a ball passed thru the collar
of Thomas Waters coat. The
MINISTRIES who did the shooting
were arrested. The other mem
bcrs of the troupe left thru the
stage door and went directly to
their car on the side track.
The crowd at the theater gradu-
ally dispersed. When it was
learned that the negroes who did
the shooting were under arrest, it
was supposed that the trou Bile was
ended. Wright, who had begun
the shooting. was placed in Jail
with three other members of the
troupe. At midnight Sunday five
men went to the Jail, took Sheriff
Stone unawares and overpowerec
him, secured the keys and went
upstairs to the cell where Wright
was locked up. They took Wright
out aud were soon joined by hun
dreds of citizens. The negro was
| hanged to Il tree.

tention. No question of doubt
was ever raised in the minds of
the people as to the sincerity of
Mr.. Clark's appeal to the State
committee in behalf of State pri-
mary. Mr.. Stone publicly and in
private interviews declared him
self against such action by the
committee, and not until he well
knew what action the committee
would take did he mildly say he
would not object to n primary.
Holding the thumbscrew of the
machinery of party politics i'll this
State from the Capitol to the city
wards does not accord him the
privilege Of assuming dictatorship
in the politics of Audrain county.
All he has done for the Demo-
cratic party in the past does not
warrant suggestions from him of
doubtful propriety at this time;
and what he has done for the party
has probably been of set by what
the party has done for him.
Governor Stone is before the
people of Missouri as candidate
for a great office. He is charac-
ter of State and national promi-
ncnce, and we glory with him He
is a man of brains aud ability, and
we like that. He is also Il mau of
grit and nerve (the last phrase
may well be emphasized). But
when he seeks to cmbarass Champ
Clark by calling him from his
post of duty at Washington to de
fcnd his own household he is walk
ing on thin ice, the Governor is.
Chairman Hostctter will not re-
assemble the Audraln committee
to comply with Governor Stone 5
very urgent request. There is no
we'll founded reason why it should.
There is no excuse for it. If Mr..
Stone really and truly wants to
measure strength with Champ
Clark in Audrain county let him
enter candidate for Represen-
tativc against Hon. Rhodes Clay.

THOUSANDS of American horses
have, since the commencement Of
the war against the Beers in South
Africa. been sent from the
Western ranches to Africa, but it
appears from reports from Cape
Colony that these animals have
not proved as useful as was ex-
pected. They are excellent horses.
the very best of stock, that fact is
freely admitted. The fault lies
not with the animals. but with the
British soldiers who do not know
how to ride them. The bucking
broncho has proved terror to the
average English soldier. One
buck and the rider is off, and So is
the horse, aud hundreds of animals
have been lost by boiling ere their
riders can recover from the shock
of the fall. SO, it is said, the
British Government is now engag-
ing several hundred cowboys to
go to South Africa and teach the
British soldiers how to manage
their refractory stceds. And if the
COW. boys 90 we hope the Beers II
get 'cm fore they land.
