TO USE S. P. DEPOT.
Rock Island to Run Into Southern
Pacific Depot at FL Paso.

FL Paso. Tex, May 28--It has been
practically settled that the Rock Island
passenger trains win now run to the
Southern Pacific shed instead of the
present depot of the Rock Island. Last
Saturday it was announced that in a
short time another train viii be put on
between here and Chicago over the Rock
Island and from here to Los Angeles
over the Southern Pacific. The agree
ment Of the two roads in this is no
doubt the cause of the further agree
ment to use the Southern Pacific depot
for passenger trains of the Rock Island.
General Manager Greig of the Rock
Island was here this week and it was
learned today that the agreement with
the Southern Pacific has been practical
" closed and that the Rock Island trains
viii be running into the Southern Pa
cific depot III weeks time.
Sunday the storm injured the wires
on the S. p. and G. H. considerably and
all the linemen that could be secured
were rushed to the places where the
lines were down. As soon as the lines
are put up again a force Of men will
be put to work stretching another wire
with which to operate the Rock Island
trains west of here.

Texas Mob Begins by Burning

Torture Continued as Long as
Any Life Remained.

Longview, Tex, May pa man hunt
which had been in progress since last
Saturday ended late Thursday in the
burning at the stake of Dudley Morgan
colored, who assaulted Mrs. Mckee,
wife of a Texas & Pacific section fore
man at Lansing, Texas. When it was
learned that the negro had been cap
tured and was being taken to Lansing,
the excitement of the people knew no
bounds. BY Il o'clock in the morning
great crowds had gathered at the Ian
sing switch and arrangements We're
made to burn the negro. When the
train bearing the prisoner and his cap
tors arrived in Marshall it was met by
great crowd of people. Many boarded
the train at Hallville and when it ar
rived at Lansing every available place
on it was occupied. Waiting at Ian
sing was another large crowd from
Longview and the surrounding coun-
try
The negro was not taken from the
train on the side where the crowd was,
and when the engineer started to pull
out several Winehesters were levened
at him and others of the train crew
They were told if they moved the train
an inch they would all be killed The
prisoner was identified by Mrs. Mckee
and several negroes who worked on the
section with Morgan. Mrs. Mckee said
they had the right ian and the negro
was escorted by about 200 men, armed
with Winchesters, to the place of execu-
ton. AS he was chained to the stake
he made a statement in which he i'm.
plicated another negro named Franklin
Heard. saying Heard was to get part
of the money which was to be stolen.
Morgan confessed to having commit
ted the crime and after he had been Sc
curely chained to the stake, or rail,
with his hands and legs free the mes
bers of the mob began to take railroad
ties from a fire already started and
burn out his eyes. They then held the
red hot and burning timbers to his
neck and after burning his clothes off
to other parts of his body. The negro
screamed in agony.
He was tortured in a slow and painful
manner, with the crowd clamoring for
a slow death. The negro writhing and
groaning begged piteously to be shot.
Mrs. Mckee was brought to the scene
in a carriage, accompanied by four 9TH
er women and an effort was made to get
the carriage close enough for her to see
the negro. The crowd was so dense,
however, that this was impossible
Persons held each other on their
shoulders, taking turns about looking at
the awful sight. The Negroes head fin
ally dropped and the ties were piled
around and over him. In half an hour
only the trunk of his body remained.
AS soon as the heat would permit the
crowd with long sticks began a grew
some search for relics. Parts of the
skull and body were gathered uD by
some and carried away. AS the fire died
down the crowd took the two men who
first caught the negro and held them

OATMEAL MUSE AND DIABFTEs.

DR.. Pavy, of England, has shown that
diabetes is due to an imperfect diges-
ton of starch and its absorption in the
blood It is impossible for the stomach
to digest cereal foods taken in the form
of mush, in which the starch is less
than half cooked. This is one Of the
reasons why diabetes is becoming so
common in this country and British Is
lands French physicians long ago dis
covered that toasted bread of dextri-
nized starch is an excellent remedy in
diabetes. The best dextrinized food
however, is known to be Toasted Wheat
Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey

Food company. These fakes are thin.

are very appetizing, partly e-digested

OVER 1000, 900 PENSIONERS.
Roll Passes the Prediction" OF Those op-
posing Pen.ion LeEisiation.

Washington, Sept. 23-The Uni
ted States pension list has passed the
100000 mark. The annual report
of Commissioner Ware, which will
be made public for the annual en-,
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic, will show that at the end
of the last fiscal year ended June 81
last, the pension rolls lacked 554
names of being 100000. During
July, however, 2,O51 names were ad-
ded to the list, bringing the total to
1,OO1,497.
At the end of the last fiscal year
the number on the rolls exceeded all
previous records, and with the July
addition it has passed the predictions
made by those who have opposed
pension legislation. Pensions grow
ing out of the Spanish, American war
have had a great deal to do with the
increase, although the number OF
actually pensioned is small in pro-
portion to the entire number of men
something like 100000 who served
in that war.

THE PACING RECORD

Readville, Mass, Sept. 23.-Dsn
Patch, the famous PAGER, went against
the worlds record of 1891, made by
Star Pointer on the Resdville track
five years ago, this afternoon, and in
a truly magnificent performance
equalled the record. Weather con-
dition were perfect.
Dsn Patch was brought ont for
a: warming up mile with 3 runner as
pacamaker. Without an effort he
went the distance in 2.l3. Half an
hour later the handsome black PAGER
came out for his trial against time.
As in the other mile, a runner was
sent out ahead. No time was lost IN
securing, and Myron McHenry nod
ded the first time down for the wire,
and q hundred watches caught the
start. The PAGER had his stride from
the word, and there was not a skip
for the whole mile, his legs moving
with perfect regularity. 1t was not
until the third quarter that every one
felt convinced that the record was in
danger, Up the stretch came the
PAGER, his flashing under the wire a
worthy mate of Star Pointer, his time
being 1891 McHenry was widely
cheered and the crowd rushed to the
rails to see the horse led away.
