MURDER IS AVENGED.
Tho Town Marshal of Jefferson, Ia,
L. slain-His Murderer killed
by q Mob.

Sioux City, Ia, June 23.-Horace
Shipman, who is supposed to have
been half-witted, shot and killed the
city marshal of jefferson Saturday
morning, as the latter was attempt
| ing to arrest him. In few minutes
| an Infatuated mob surrounded the
house and Shipman was shot to death
During the trouble and until the mob
was assured that Shipman was dead,
the town was in a frenzy, but the
citizens are now cooling down.
Two boys on their way to the cir
Gus saw Shipman sitting in front OF
his house and began jeering him. He
became quite angry and pursued the
lads, throwing stones at them. They
swore out warrants for his arrest,
and these were placed in the hands
of City Marshal Swearingen for ser
vice.
He proceeded to Shipman's house,
but the latter had barricaded himself,
and when Swearingen knocked at the
door Shipman fired and Swearingen
fell dead. DR.. G. H. Grimmell, Ship
mans family physician, went ahead
of the marshal to attempt to have
Shipman surrender peaceably. Ship
man agreed to this, but when Swear
ingen and Deputy Sheriff Fred Ken
dali appeared at the door he warned
them not to come in under penalty
of death. Swearingen, undaunted,
started to pull his revolver for the
purpose of entering, and Shipman
fired load Of shot, striking the mar
shall in the lower part of the face,
and killing him instantly DIR. Grim
nell and the deputy beat retreat,
leaving the body Of the marshal upon
the porch.
Sheriff Anderson Immediately went
to the scene Of the shooting, depu-
tizing a dozen citizens to assist him.
Hundreds of people gathered near
Shipman's home, and for three hours
watched the battle. Five hundred
shots were poured into the large two
story house. Shipman replying from
the windows, cellarway and door.
The fire company was called out and
James May volunteered to stick
hose in the cellar and drown him out.
May accomplished his work, but Ship
man fred upon him from the cellar,
causing him to retreat. About IL
o'clock Shipman appeared at the win
dow and fifty shots were fred at him.
1t then became quiet inside and Ship
mans body was found on the floor
full of bullets.
No arrests have been made, and ID
is expected that none will be made.
During the entire conflict the body
of City Marshal Swearingen lay on
Shipman's doorstep, where it had
fallen, bleeding from CHASTITY
wound in the throat.
There is no doubt that Shipman
was insane. For long time he had
been considered mentally unsound.
Some time ago he was before the in
sanity commissioners. He was at
that time adjudged insane, but he
was never taken to the asylum.
Shipman was married, but had no
children.

THE COAL STRIKE.
synopsis of an Address Issued ia
the Public by President
Mitchell.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 23.-Presi-
dent John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, has issued an
address to the public for publication
in the newspapers this morning. 1t is
partly a reply to the letters OF the
operators declining to accede to the de-
mands of the union, which were pub
lished about ten days ago. Briefly
summarized, the address says that
every possible means was resorted to
in the effort to prevent the strike,
claims that the cost of living has in
creased to the point where the miner
was compelled to ask for higherwages,
denies the allegations of the operators
that the productive capacity OF the
mine workers has fallen off, but, on the
other hand, has increased; quotes Off
cial figures to substantiate the conten-
ton that the employers can pay higher
wages without increasing the cost OF
coal to the consumer, asserts that the
coal-carrying railroads, which control
about IS per cent. of the mines, absorb
the profits of their coal companies by
charging exorbitant freight rates;
claims that n ton at the mines means
anywhere from 2,740 to 3,190 pounds
instead of 2,240, and says that more
men are killed and injured in the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania annu-
ally thanwe killed or wounded during
the Spanish-American war. The adj
dress also says that in the event the
union is crushed, which, II adds, is not
likely, n new organization would rise
from its ruins. 1t concludes with an
other appeal for arbitration of all
questions in dispute.
Pittsburg. Pa, June 23.-Forty war
rants, issued by the burgess of Leech-
burg, where the miners are striking,

nonunion men to and from their work
and making matters unpleasant for
the new workers. The prison capacity
of the borough has been exhausted,
and the majority of the 40 who are al
legged to have violated an ordinance
are at large. They insist upon paying
no fines, under advice of the leaders,
and accept the Jail sentence. John
Shoemaker insisted on carriage to
convey his wife and their four chill
dren to the Jail. This party nearly
filled the Jail. Ada Vogel, girl of 10
years, was also taken to the lookup.

forgotten" as Dhe Advertiser says in the course of its remarks, John Brown isn't, and that lapse of time has not tended to lessen or relieve the hatred felt by the Southern people toward John Brown. And it is not at all likely that anything that could be said would change the opinion the South has held for forty years in ref erence to his case.
 There is really no reason why the Southern people should experience any change of sentiment with regard to John Brown. To do that would be to admit that they were mistaken in his character, his intentions or his acts, but they were not. Both himself and his designs were understood then just as they are under stood now, and neither was of a charac- ter which Southern people can or should forget Time has softened most of the bitterness of the war and people of both sections have learned that all the wrong or all the right was not on one side. We gan clasp hands in amity with soldiers of the Union, but we shall not forgss John Brown or change our opinion of him.

CHURCHES OF AMERICA.
Interesting Statistics Concerning
 Their Growth.

New York, Jan. 1S.-Statistics on the | growth of the Churches of the United States in 1901 and the order of denomina-
 tional rank in 1890 and 1901 have been completed by the Rev. Dr. H. K. Car roll, who was in charge of the religious statistics of the United States census of 1890. At the end of 1900 there were 2I.- 36O6l0 members of all Churches in the United States, according to Dr. Car rolls figures. and &O90,567 at the end of 1901. gain of 7SO.027 or 2.67 per cent or Ereater than the gain in population, 2.1S

 lies lead, with q present membership of 9.l5S, 741. a gain of 46S,0S3.
 Dr. Carroll rates the increase in Ro-
 man Catholic membership as too high, and regards the figures those of the growth of several years in a large pro- portion of the dioceses The per centage of growth in the Protestant Episcopal Church, per cent. Dr. Carols regards

CRoKER's COMPROMISE.
Contract by Which Nixon Took the
 Leaders Place.

From New York to The Washington
 Evening Star.
 There is a new boss of Tammany Hall and his name is Lewis Nixon. Richard Croker has stepped out of Tammany Hall. Before the month has passed he will be on his way to his home in Eng land, where it is known he. will remain. His visits to the United States will be few. and the stormy politics ot New York City and Stale will not again know him as a factor. The iron man of Tammany resigned office in the or ganization the other day. His going was dramatic. His staying would have meant a fight against him from Flushing to the Bronx. and perhaps has complete defeat. tee. comprising thirty-six district leaders and the members ex-officio. the whole mum boring tifty-one. In this meeting he had earnest friends and bitter enemies. half a dozen factions. not all opposed to him. but deep with enmity each for the other. The man whose word has been supreme law whose will never was crossed has unbended enough in a few weeks gone by to ask the dissenting lead CTS for peace in his outgoing.
 They had made the terms. Thesc terms, too, were compromise that must have hurt the pride of Croker. The corupro- mise awakened him to the proof of his 1eeting power The Carroll-SrXton-Sut- livan crowd had asked as terms of peace the scalp of John Whalen. The keating- ldCllOl ucihdIlo- ed that Carroll should be set aside. The clean leaders-that is, clean for Tam- many-Haffen, Oakley, Hamburger, Scully and Fitzpatriek-told him he could not have Maurice Featherson ss a success sor; that he must take Victor Bowling. Hugh J. Grant or Lewis Nixon And Croker to have peace and to go o,:t seemingly unconquTed, agreed to the dropping of Featherson and the selec. tion of Nixon.
 The coritract was carried out to the letter. In seeming harm my Carroll was dropped from the Finance Committee h favor of John Fox. Whalen was booted out by the Law Committee and Charle1 H. Knox got his place. Then Croker the chief of all, bowed himself out as chairman. There was no request for hin to remain. There was no word spoker of his past work. There was nothing saiC of the change except by him.

Forbids Indians to Paint or Wear
 Long Hair.

From Washington Chicago Tribune.
 There will be grief in all the Indian tribes of the country when the latest order of the Interior Department forbid ding male Indians to wear long hair and the painting of faces by either sex reaches the Indian ressrvati ons. Commis- sioner Jones has taken a decided step towards breaking up this custom. which has prevailed for many years. He has gone further than this in his efforts to civilize the Indians. and has issued an order relating to the costume. The paint ing of the faces is objected to because it is said this practice causes diseases of the eyes and investigation by. ex- perts develops that many Indians have become totally blind through the use of pairt Indian dances and feasts will be prohibit d, and the Indian agents are directed to induce their charges to dis card the Indian costume and blankets and wear citizens attire.
