May Be Bloodshed.

Matters between the whitecappers
and citizens of Lake county seem to be
coming to a head, and serious trouble
is expected in the near future.
For the past six months or more a
band of whitecappers has operated in
the county, terrorizing the negroes and
posting notices warning them to leave
the county, under various penalties.
Last week an old negro died at
Ridgely and was buried between the
graves of two white people. A few
days later his body was dug up and
left exposed. The body was mutilated
by being cut and slashed with knives,
and notices were posted and sent
through the mails to negroes warning
them to leave the county, under pain
of the same penalty. The whole county
is worked up over the matter, and it is
feared that bloodshed will occur before
it is finally settled.
Echo of the Montana Bank Robbery.
H. G. Mcintyre of the National Bank
of Helena, Mont, visited Nashville last
week to secure the bogus Montana
bank money now in the possession of
Annie Rogers, in Jail awaiting trial
on the charge of counterfeiting. The
Rogers woman has $500 of the money.
The money thrown away by the sup
posed bank robber who gave the Nash
vile police the slip several months
ago has already been turned over to
the express company. The money is
wanted in order that a settlement be-
tween the bank and express company
can be effected. At Knoxville McIn-
tyre had to exchange $270 Of good
money for an equal amount of the
bogus held by merchants.

Among the many martyrdoms OF the Boxer rising

deepest impression in this country. The missionaries
who suffered and went home TO God were widely
known and greatly loved. They Christian men

devotion and holy and jealous lives. Among the

Then, waiting and watching and almost spent,
Comes peace from the Lords own hand,
In his blessed will if we rest content,
Though we cannot understand.
And we gather anew our courage and hope,
For the road so rough to climb,
With trial and peril we well may cope,
One single step at time.

wherever they are erected beyond the
lot line, but eight, ten and even twelve
foot tight board fences may be erected
along the public ~thoroughfares so long
as they serve the purpose Of a billboard.
The question that naturally suggests
itself is, What influence was behind the
billboard ordinance? Who had the pull
and why did they have the pull? The
bonding Of spectators who make a liv-
ing out Of planting billboards on public
thoroughfares is a farce, as will be dis
covered at no distant day whenever
judgment is rendered against the city
by parties who sustain injuries through
falling billboards. At the same time the
bonding scheme is simply a device for
creating a billboard monopoly. Nobody
who desires to use the billboard for tenn
porary advertising purposes would be
willing to go to the trouble Of procuring
a bond. They would rather lease the
advertising space of the billboard
monopoly.
The hundred-dollar tax imposed upon
farce. One hundred dollars a year for
all of the billboards to be erected in
Omaha is a ridiculously low compensa-
ton for the unsightliness and standing
menace to public security. Money alone
will not compensate people permanently
manned, nor will the city be able to
make good the losses that might be en-
tailed by a general conhagration pro-
NOTED with burning billboards that
would carry fire and destruction in their
wake.

A GRACIOUS ACT.

The action of King Victor Emmanuel
of Italy in %pardoning the officers of the
cruiser Chicago who were arrested and
imprisoned at Venice was most gra-
cious and will certainly be warmly APP
preciated by our government and peo-
pie. The officers had, of course, in
Identified those who suffered from their
conduct and there was no disposition
to further punish them, but none the
less the prompt response of the king
dor for the release of the officers was
an act of courtesy which gives Victor
Emmanuel a rather more than ordinary
claim to our good will.
The offense of Chicago's officers
has probably been somewhat exagger-
ated, but in any event it was a very
unfortunate occurrence. One of the
officers states that the report of their
having been intoxicated was not true,
that on the contrary all of them were
perfectly sober, that they acted in self
defense against a large and hostile
crowd and that misunderstanding of
the two languages probably had some
thing to do with the trouble. Whether
an explanation of this kind will be sat
isfactory to the naval authorities at
Washington remains to be seen, but 1t
is more than likely that the officers
will be disciplined.
