ARRIVED EARLY.

The mob arrived here early from the
Guston neighborhood, and demanded
admission to the Jail where Dewley was
confined. The jailer refused to give mp
the Keys, and the mob battered in the
doors, and secured the colored man
whom they carried about a mile and a
half from town, where they hanged
MIN to tree. After he had strsnRled
TO death, the mob riddled his body with
bullets, and then quietly dispersed.

An Error.
[Wnliamsburg, Va. Caret. !

The action of the First Baptist Church
of Richmond, Va, in expeiling Broth
er John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the
PLANET, was blunder that the church
(body) need TO consider as an error on
their part, and the world cannot see the
bright side of thing which is totally
dark. There are no secret letters admit
ted into a church. When churches
hold meetings that they are ashamed
for the public to know, it is dark in
deed.

SIXTEENTH STREET PAVEMENT
Board of Public Works Orders Re-
pairs at General Expense
once More.

The Board Of Public Works at its meet
ing yesterday decided to repair the Six
teenth street pavement from Douglas street
north to Cunning street and Thursday morn
ing Of this week the Grant Paving company
will set a crew of eighteen men at work
filling up the holes. About $4,000 will be
expended in repairing Sixteenth street
alone, which sum will be taken from the
800 Allowed the city engineers depart
ment for the repairing Of asphalt pave
ments this year.
Last year the Sixteenth street pavement
was repaired from Douglas north to Cum
ing street, but 1t is again In bad condition.
An injunction suit raj brought last year to
prevent the repairing, but 1t failed.
The board also condemned a number Of
old buildings and ordered them torn down.
It was agreed that the entire board should
start at 10 o'clock Thursday morning on o
tour of inspection Of several old struc-
lures that had fallen under the ban OF the
building Inspector. Among these is the old
armory on Capitol avenue, near Eighteenth
street, a frame barn in the rear of 610
Marcy street belonging to Pat Hogan and
q frame building at 200 South Twelfth
street used as a boarding house.

ERROR IN COUNTY TAX ROLL
Assessed vaIuation H. Abont Fifty
Less Than Amount
Announced.

The total assessed valuation OF Douglas
county for 1902 is not SIS. 293. 0s6. as first
announced. but s25, 245, $40. as discovered
late Tuesday afternoon in the final checking
up Of the books. The loss OF $47, 116 is
said to be accounted for by a confusing Of
the resolution that the tax committee Of
the Real Estate exchange drew up as a
suggestion and that which was adopted by
the board in the assessing Of the lumber
dealers. The tax committee resolution called
for much higher figures on practically all
the firms than the board could see At to
impose, but when the reports OF the pro-
ceedings were sent to the tax, department
the suggested resolution went In with the
rest and was checked up. the difference hav-
ing been Just discovered.
With the total thus corrected, the general
fund becomes 1921, 213, the road fund sea. ia
and the bridge fund t60.4s1. Warrants
could be drawn tomorrow for IS per cent Of
each OF these. but the printed forms have
not yet been received from the printer and
ell the entries are yet TO be made. so that
even August ! will md scarcely ready the
warrants called for by the two appropriation
sheets passed last Saturday.

VACATION TIME UNCERTAIN
No Date Fixed for Adjournment of
May Term of District
Court.

The day for final adjournment OF the May
term OF the district court is still unknown
and employees at the court house, as well
as attorneys affected thereby, are uneasy
Judges Fawcett, Baxter and Dickinson have
signed the adjournment agreement and Ned
to cooler parts, leaving the other judges to
NIL In the date blank. Judge Slabaugh has
one more small matter to dispose OF and
will be through Friday night. Judge Key
sor expects to finish Saturday.
This reduces the proposition to Judge
Read and Judge Estelle. The former has
come to be regarded as something Of a
sphinx and the deputy clerk OF the district
court returned from a call in his court yes
terday no wiser than he went, SO far as
the day and date are concerned. Judge Es-
telle created some CONSERVATION yesterday
morning by intimating that he proposed to
dispose OF the Gordon mandamus case for
1901 salary, which gets a new trial because
OF some error OF Gordon's in the previous
hearing, this term, no matter what the de-
lay. AS City Attorney Connell is not ex-
pected to return to the city until the first
week in August, this reported determination
Of the judges made things look dark for
the bailiffs and others affected. To a re-
porter for The Bee, however, Judge Estelle
explained that his suggestion Is not that
the court be continuously in session, but
that adjournment be taken until some set
day, and II the business Is not disposed OF
then, that adjournment be taken until some
later day. the adjournment sine die to be
whenever all the judges have their dockets
cleared as desired.
Judge Estelle discussed this plan yester-
day with Judge Reed. and. while moth
ing is given out authoritativeiy. it is quite
possible that the city tax cases on Reads
docket will be cared for In this way and
Judge Estelle's proposal agreed 10.
The next term OF court opens October 6,
the first Monday Of that month.

ACID IN HIS FACE
katherine saltEmSn Dis6gurss the oOunte-
nance Of William N. Smith.
MAN IS LIKELY TO LOSE HIS EYEsleHT
wOman's Desperate Act saia
to Have Been ImPeIled by
Desire to AvenEe an
Alleged Wrong.

While william N. Smith was rubbing the
foot Of Katherine Saltzman to alleviate a
pain OF which the woman had complained
she suddenly threw the contents Of a small
vial OF acid In his face. The acid struck
him on the forehead and ran down on his
face, burning his cheeks, lips and chin and
almost running his eyesight. Physicians be-
lieve, however, that they will be able to
save his eyes. though both are swelled shut.
The acid throwing occurred at Hanscom
Park. Immediately after the woman had
thrown the acid Smith was taken 70 his
home at sixth and Pierce streets. Deputy
County Attorney Dunn filed a complaint
against the woman, charging her with doing
great bodily injury, and the police are
after her.
Smith is charged by the with be-
Ing the father Of her child. and to revenge
herself for this wrong, Il is believed, she
threw the acid. On three occasions during
the last two years she has had Smith
bound over to the district court on the
charge and on each occasion she has failed
TO prosecute. Last Sunday she sent Smith
word, SO he informed the omcers, that the
child was dead and for him to come to her
room at SOC South Twenty-hrst street.
Smith arrived at the house about 4 O'Clock
and asked to see the dead baby.
Asks Him for Money.
Miss saltzman requested Smith to ad-
vance her money with which to pay the
funeral expenses and suggested that be-
fore he saw the child she and Smith should
go to the park and discuss the funeral ar
rangements. Smith readily agreed 10 this.
After arriving at the park the woman was
suddenly taken Ill and complained OF a pain
in her foot. The pain became so severe
that Smith began to rub the member while
the woman reclined on the grass. While
Smith was busily engaged she attracted his
attention and as he looked up from his
work she dashed the acid In his face. After
that 1t is not known what became Of the
woman. Persons in the park, attracted by
Smiths groans, assisted him to his room
and called physicians.
Smith is employed at the Willow Springs
distillery and is about so years OF age.
His attorney stated yesterday that he
had been supporting the child of the SaltS-
man woman since It's birth. Smith was
able to be at police court yesterday and
swear to the complaint. His face and eyes
were swathed in bandages, and 1t is not
certain that the sight in both eyes will be
saved, though the physicians are hopeful.

STORES DULL SEASON
Daily Applicants from sixty
to Ten.

The unfortunate person whose purse Is
fiat and stomach fatter Is considerably less
in evidence at the county store now than
formerly. The warm weather may roast
him and nal his pallet of straw so torrid
that sleep Is as impossible for him as It Is
for his neighbours dog, yet he is recon-
pensed by better opportunities for work
and less exorbitance for living.
Thomas o'Connor. agent at the county
store, said yesterday morning: 1--WE are pro-
viding for an average Of ten applicants per
day now, whereas in the winter the average
was perhaps sixty per day. The provisions
we are giving out each day average in cost
not more than SIC. On winter days the

or near that figure.

Our present applicants are all women
who have been widowed or deserted and

old persons who are too feeble to do much
II any work. The county store saves
them from the county farm by supplementing
their own meager earnings with enough to
tide them along. In winter, Of course, we
sometimes have to take care of families Of
workingmen for a few days at a time in
cases of sickness, for the needs then are
greater and more urgent than those OF
