Taken From Jail Cells.
The farmers rode and drove into Lex

made their way to the jail.
The prosecuting attorney OF the county

but they saw that resistance to the
lynching party would be futile and Of
fercd none. Members of the party were
equipped with crowbars. files. and axes

and Gates occupied separate compart-
ments ard nearly half an hour elapsed

NOTES FROM AFIELD.

About 200 young women at Wa
remme, in Belgium, have formed a
club known as 1.-The Swallows" Each
member has given her word of honor
never to marry a man addicted to
drink
At the late session of the Methodist
general conference held in Winnipeg.
Canada, a temperance secretary was
appointed from among their number
to travel through the country to
arouse temperance sentiment and to
crystalline it into action.
Though heavy pressure is brought
upon him to promote the. sale OF in
toxicants in his kingdom, King Khama,
the noble chief of the Bamangwatos in
South Africa, still persists in his re-
fusal to allow the deadly traffic to be
carried on.
The fight against drunkenness and
its evil consequences in Belgium
consists mainly in the promotion of
gin abstinence. Preventive and re-
deeming Nephalism, the doctrine of
which was, 20 years ago, introduced
into Belgium from England, is not yet
adopted there.
