Two Police Officers in Chicago Killed
by Thugs.
NEW MEXICO BOUNDRY LINE.

Lexington, Mo-, Aug 12.-Charles
Salyers (white) and Harry Gates (col-
ored) were taken from the county Jail
here By a masked mob at 1880 this
morning and lynched. They were
charged with killing George w. John
son, wealthy farmer, who surprised
them at his hen house near town a
week ago. Before they were strung up
Salyers made a statement to the mob,
saying that Gates fired the shot that
killed Johnson. Salyers and Gates
were arrested on the day following the
shooting after an exciting chase. A
mob gathered while they were being
brought to town but were quieted
through the efforts of the officers and
it was believed that the men would
be allowed to stand trial
Last night, shortly after midnight,
armed men came down town by twos
and threes, most of them masked.
They massed finally near the court
yard in which the county Jail is situat-
ed. The mob was orderly and well di'
rected, each man doing the work effic.
iently and effectively. A demand upon
the Jail for the prisoners meeting
with refusal, several members of the
mob, who had come well prepared
broke in abe outer door and made
quickly for the cells of the murderers.
It took thirty minutes to cut through
the steel doors. Salyers was taken out
first, then Gates. Without further ado
and without encountering any serious
objection the mob went with the vic
tins to point half mile south OF
town and hanged them to tree where
they left the bodies.

Torepdo Boats Trial.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE trial of
the torpedo boat destroyer Chauncey,
which was built by Neafie & Levy, of
Philadelphia, takes place off the Capes
today and considerable interest is
manifested at the navy department in
the result of the test. The building of
these tiny warships is now regarded as
something of a speculation, inasmuch
as several of those turned out during
the last year or two have proved dis
NAL failures, while others, constructed
after the same design and apparently
alike in every particular, have been
fully up to expectations. Naval con-
structors who have followed construc-
tion of the Chauncey express the opin-
ion that 1t will come up to all require
ments. The vessel is of 420 tons dis
placement and is designed to have a
speed of twenty-nine knots.

KILLED BY THUGS.
Two Policemen of Chicago Killed by a
Gang of Thugs.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Officers Timothy
Devine and Chas. Pennell, patrolmen,
were killed here today in a revolver
battle with what is supposed to be a
gang of thugs. Much mystery sur
rounds the shooting, for both men
died before an adequate account of the
affair could be obtained. Devine died
in an ambulance on his way to the hos
pital and Pennell on the operating ta-
BILE. The fight occurred just before
dawn near Jackson boulevard and Ash
land avenue, in the aristocratic Sec
ton of the west side. The fusilade OF
shots aroused the neighborhood. Citi-
zens who heard the dying policemen
groan rushed to their assistance and
saw the men running away. Officer
Pennel, meanwhile, had heroically
staggered a hundred feet to patrol
box and sent in an alarm. The police
soon had six men in custody. Before
Pennell died he was able to gasp out a
few words about robbers" giving de
scriptiOn of two men.

covery of Kansas by Coronado and the
]. V. Brewer, of st. Paul, MINI. The
location of the monument is at Logan's
Grove, short distance from this city.
The erection of the monument is
due to the efforts of the Quivira His
torical society. which was organized in

ians and students and its membership
extends over a number of western
states. The officers. nearly all of whom

by Coronado 1541; Jaramillo, Padilla,
Tatarrax; rediscovered by ]. V. Brow
er 1896; erected for Quivira Historical
society by Robert Henderson 1902"
The unveiling exercises were of an
extremely interesting character and
were witnessed by large throng. The
ceremonies began at 10 o'clock this
morning with an offering of prayer, af-
ter which there was an address by Mr.
Brewer reviewing the history of the
movement eliminating in the erection
of the monument. Other addesses OF
an historical nature were delivered by

occasion was furnished by the regi
mental band from Fort Riley.

new MEXICO.
The Progress Of the Territory Asking
for Statehood.
VIEWS FROM EASTERN PAPERS.

The territory of New Mexico is be-
coming impatient about government
without the consent or the governed,
and her people are demanding that
they be accorded the full privileges of
citizens of the United States, which
involve the right to maintain a state
government chosen by the people and
to be represented in congress by at
least three members who can vote as
well as speak.
The claims of the New Mexieans. as
set forth in comprehensive letter
from Santa Fe to the Evening Post,
are interesting If not wholly convinc-
ing. The principal claims are FOR abun-
dant population and the rapid growth
of education through generous sys-
tenn of public schools and state col
leges. 1t is acknowledged that one
out of four of the population is Hitter
ate, and the explanation is ample, al
though 1t does not alter the situation.
There are 5000 Indians and more than
$4,000 Mexicans who have not receiv-
ed the privileges in the way of educa-
tion granted to Porto Rico and the
Philippines. What a commentary on
the alleged oppression of the Fill
nos.
1t Is true that the people of New
Mexico have been left to work out
their own destiny under the excellent
territorial government provided by
congress. The native population has
been greatly assisted in the way of de-
velopment by the inflow of settlers
from the older states. Under the new
conditions the Mexicans have made
progress. The sons and daughters of
the Mexicans are being educated in
English and are becoming Americans.
In the cases of the older inhabitants
the Spanish language was the bar to
Americanism and an obstacle to pro-
gress. The assurance of orderly gov
ernment and security of property and
person have had a powerful influence
upon the alien population gathered in
without their consent when he secured
the territory from Mexico. These peo,
pie were fully persuaded that they
were most fortunate in their involun-
tary change of allegiance. AS a con
sequence New Mexico promises to be
an American state in the best sense
with lower rate of illiteracy than any
other commonwealth. The young Mex
leans are so eager to become thorough
Americans that they are described as
taking advantage of all school facili
| ties.
New Mexico has an efficient. and an
economical government. The governor
and judges are paid by the federal gov
ernment, and the pay of the Legislature
is partly at government expense. Still
the people complain at inequality and
demand what they consider theil
rights. The inequality is not a serious
drawback to progress and good gov
ernment. So many of the younger
states have lapsed into condition OF
carelessness and political intrigue OF
an unpleasant nature that there can be
no great loss from waiting,-RochesteI

SCHOOL TEACHERS MURDERED
Ambushed Filipinos Kill Four Ameri-
can School Teachers.

Manila, Aug. 12.--Investigation to
clear up the facts Of the killing of a
Cebu coaching party of four school
teachers, shows that the party was
ambushed twelve miles from Cebu
Two of the teachers were shot and
killed at the first volley. the third, who
ran, was shot in the back, and the
fourth, who was captured, was shot In
the chest while praying for mercy. 1t
is suspected that the fourth man was
buried alive as his wound was slight.
and it is probable the wound would not
have caused death. Dogs dug up two
of the bodies and devoured the flesh.
1t is believed that sufficient evidence
can be secured to convict all the par
tlcipants in the crime. The police
killed the leader of the murderers and
captured eight.
