Col. TiIlman Restrained the Mob.


Columbia, Nov. A.-Lieutenant Gov
Tillman, who was in the city today,
positively denies the story that he was
about to lead a mob to lynch the ne
gro incendiary who was recently
placed in the Penitentiary for safe
keeping. On the contrary, he declares
that had it not been for him and Ex-
Governor Sheppard indignant citizens
could not have been restrained from
lynching the negro.
Hearing the negro was taken away
without any trouble, the people of the
town of Edge6eld are apprehensive of
further incendiary fires and are armed
and on watch nightly. In case anoth-
er fire results and the incendiary is
caught nothing can prevent a lynching.

A HARD STRUGGLE.
Many an 0skaloosa Citizen
Finds the Struggle Hard.


With back constantly aching,
With distressing urinary disorders,
Daily existence is but struggle.
No need to keep it up.

claim.
Mr.. Geo. Playle of 1914 West A
avenue says: "My back panied me
for quite while just over the hips
and at times it was serious obstacle
to my movements, such as STOPPING,
lifting etc. Time passed and as it
got no better when I learned OF

back soon improved, the appearance

BoTHERSOME FIRES.
Scrap Heaps and Saw-dust Piles Cause
Disagreeable Smudges.

The city was pretty thoroughly
smoked up Friday by blazes that
were started in refuse piles. The
Quaker part of the city was smoked
out by a fire that was started in the
saw dust and excelsior heap accum-
ulated at the saw mill which stands
just east of the Central tracks and a
short distance south of the Yearly
Meeting house, and which is operat-
ed by the National Cooper & Wooden
Ware company of Peoria, Ill. The
fire probably caught from spark
from the engine that operates the
saws. Famed by the gale Of wind
that was blowing during the day, the
fire soon became troublesome and
spread to all parts of the pile. 1t
caught in the piles of timber that
surround the saw mill and threatened
to destroy the mill itself. The fire
was beyond the reach of the Fire
Company's hose and hence the resi-
dents of that part of the city had to
put up with the smoke from the
fire.
Some one set fire to the refuse and
rubbish that has been dumped into
the ditch at the roadside on north
Sixth street above B avenue. The
fire burned fercely for couple of
days and when the brisk breeze gave
it more air the blaze and the smoke
became more troublesome and an
noying to the residents in that part
of the city. Complaint was made of
the nuisance and the fire company
went to the locality and tried to put
an end to the trouble. Considerable
work was required to make any i'm
preston upon the fire for the reason
that the flames had eaten their way
far into the heaps of rubbish and the
water put upon the heaps of trash
seemed only to increase the bad
smelling smoke.

DISTINGUISHED VISITOR.
Opie Read, Novelist, Visits OskaloOsa
and Pays the City Compliments.

Opie Read, the we'll known novel
ist was in the city for few hours to-
day enroute to Sigourney where he
lectures tonight under the auspices
of the Shakespeare Club, of that city.
Wallace Bruce Aimsbury, the noted
reader and elocutionist, who was in
this city for the first number of the
Union Lecture Course, accompanied
him and they took dinner at the Hotel
Downing. Mr.. Read seemed very
much pleased with what he saw OF
the city and regretted that he had no
date to lecture here. He seemed to
especially enjoy the park and spent
most of his spare time walking about
the band stand and the surrounding
lawn.
The novelist is making short tour
through Iowa, lecturing at Ames Fri
day night. Mr.. Read says he likes to
talk to an Iowa audience for the
reason that they pay such close at
tention and never fail to see the point
to joke. In speaking of the week
ly newspaper Mr.. Read expressed an
opinion that it would soon take the
place of the magazine, and told of an
old man in the east, who, as Mr.. Read
said, "believed his weekly paper was
printed under the throne of God, that
st. Peter wrote the editorials and the
Ange. Gabriel read copy.
Mr.. Read is quite striking in ap-
pearance. He is a large man and
his long hair falls gracefully tabout
his shoulders. He has hearty win
some atmosphere about him which
makes one feel at home in his pres
ence.
The gentleman is noted as q story
teller and always has string of fun
ny stories at hand. He entertained
car load of passengers on the way
down from Ames this morning,

BETTER THAN PILLS.

The question has been asked, "In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
& Liver. Tablets superior to Pills?'
Our answer is: They are easier and
more pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by
