Lxnched BY Missourl Mob.

A special from New Madrid, Mo-,
says that a crowd of masked men over
powered jailer and took a negro, Louis
Wright, a short distance from town
and hanged him. Richard & Pringle's
minstrels gave IN entertainment there
when an alteration arose between one
of the musicians and some of the
white town boys.
Several of the boys undertook to
take the musician out, when the ne
groes on the stage began to shoot. Sew
eral whites in the audience were hit.
but no one was seriously hurt. The
negroes ran out the back way to their
private car, which was soon surround
ed by armed men, but no violence was
done, owing to the arrival of the town
marshal. All the negroes were put
in Jail and as a result o. anexam-
ination the name of the one who
did the shooting was discovered. He
was lynched and the Others will be re-
leased. Several of the passersby were
badly beaten Saturday night.

TWO DEAD
Loss of Life as Result Of Earthquakes
In Russia.


Details which are slowly arriving ut
Baku from Shamaka, Russia, show
that 1000 persons, mostly women and
children, perished as II result of the
earthquake last week, and that 1000
houses were destroyed. Thirty-four
villages of the country surrounding
Shamaka also suffered.
To add to the terrors OF the neigh
borhood, "a volcano nea the village of
Marassay, eastward of Shamaka, has
broken out into active eruption.
A great crevasse has appeared, and
immense flames and streams Of lava
are being thrown out. The curse OF
the river Geonchaika has been altered
in consequence of it's bed being damned
with earth which had been disturbed
by the earthquake.
Battalions of guards and detach-
ments of soldiers with tents have been
dispatched to Shamaka to aid In the
work of rescue. The Red Cross society
is active in alternating the distress.

at Omaha. They beat their way here
on two Union Pacific trains from
Omaha and left the latter train
at this point. They went down
into the Elkhorn freight yards
and procured a lot of gloves, m%ittcns,
hosiery and other articles which were
part Of a consignment, to Omaha. 1t
has since been discovered that both
doors Of the freight car which con-
tanned these goods were broken open.
The large box in which the merchan-

DENIES JURISDICTION
Governor savage Says supreme Court
Cannot Mandamus Him.

savage Says supreme Coure
Cannot Mandamus Him.
Governor Savage has filed an answer
in the supreme court in which he EN-
deavors to show that he should not be
required 10y mandamus to appoint u
fire and police board for the city OF
Omaha. An alternative writ was issued
recently by the court on the applica-
ton Of G. G. Wright of Omaha. Attor-
ney General Prout and Ed l.. Smith,
the latter an Omaha lawyer who was
deputy attorney general when n SINH
Governor llolcomb, appear as the at
torneys for Governor Savage.
AS predicted some time ago, Governor
Savage denies the jurisdiction of the
supreme court to control, direct or to
command him in any manner as To the
performance of his duties rs governor.
and contends that the question Of the
governors right to appoint n fire and
police board has been finally adjudi-
Gated by the court and denied. He
cites the Moorcs and the Kennedy cases
as proof that his right to appoint is
denied, and says that the rulings in
those suits have not been reversed by
the supreme court.
The defense of Governor Savage is
similar to the pleading OF Governor
Holcomb who is now on the supreme
bench, when he was required to answer
In u ease of the same nature. His de-
Tense On that occasion was prepared by
Attorney General j. &. Smyth and Dep
uty Ed =. Smith. The pleading that
the question has been finally adjudi-
Gated is "A new feature in the fire and
police litigation.
As the rights of coordinate branches
of the state and the general govern
mcnt is a pcrplcxing one. lawyers are
anxiously awaiting the result of the
case. In the case instituted against
Governor llolcomb, the court did not
get to II point where it saw tit To pass
on the question of jurisdiction over the
governor, the litigation being decided
on another point.
The on ~ important decision by the
Nebrask a court bearing on this subject
is hat of the state eX rel Bates against
Thaycr and others, in which Judg,
Maxwell held that the governor coult
he compelled by mandamus to perform
a ministerial duty. That was n case IN
which Governor Thayer was required
to act cx-ofiicio chairman of the stat'
~canvassing board as prescribed by law

REPEAL OF THE WAR TAX
Congressmen Importuned to support the
Measure.

Measure.
The question of the repeal of the war
tax has not yet been taken up by the
house, although the committee on ways
and means has reported IL bill recon-
mending the repeal of the entire tax
made necessary at the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war. The subject
will probably be taken up and passed
as soon as it can be reached on the
calendar.
Members Of congress aud senator's
from all states are being importuned
by the bankers throughout their re-
spective states and districts, to support
the measure recommended by the com
mittee. In this connection, Congress
man Stark said:
speaking of the repeal of the war
revenue tax, when the bill was passed
imposing these war taxes, it vas I'M
derstood that n promise was made then,
that the tax should be repealed. The
time to redeem that promise is now,
and in my judgment we have no more
right to impose war taxes to be used
for peace purposes than a trustee
would have the right to use the money
of his ward. 1t is to be observed in the
reported bill that the tax on liquors,
tobacco, oleomarcarine aud mixed -four
still remain as they were prior to the
passage Of the wal revenue bill in 1898.

fare occurred at Lee Turner's Quarter

had been taken, secured what was for

fifteen men for the purpose of arresting
Turner. The party proceeded to Tur-
ner's place and demanded his surren-
der.
His reply was n round of shots.
Charley Cecil of Middlesboro was in
plain view of the Turner men. Some
one raised the window of the log house
and shot Cecil, who fell dead. Instant
ly the man at the window fell back,
pierced by a half dozen bullets. Then
the firing began in earnest. The otii-
GERS scattered and hiding behind trees
and roots, poured a calling fire into
the mountain fortress.
AS soon as Cecil was killed his com
panions determined to burn Turner's
rendezvous. and in the midst of the
battle a man applied "a torch to an cS-
posed side of the building. In IA few
minutes the building was in flames.
Several of the m~ountainers came to the
window and were Immediately shot
down. Lee Turner and several of his
friends in some anu managed to
escape and Turner is now at Mingo
