Practically all OF the METROPOLITAN papers

have given the victory TO the republicans,
but have agreed that there viii be a
marked reaction In favor OF the democrats.
in many cases the majority conceded to tue
republicans is so small as to lead to the
belief that the democrats will not only
make the gains which are practically nd
mltted on All sides but that they VIII
show sufficient strength to control the

concede the probability Of landslide in

occurs close students Of the situation are
confident that the victory win 90 to the
democrats.

Edward Butler, Of st. Louis. Indicted ana
Arrested On Charge of
Bribery.


St. Louis, Oct. 21.-Edward Butler
was indicted by the grand jury at
l2:10 o'clock Monday afternoon on
the charge of paying to Charles F.
Kelly a $i7,50O bribe for members of
the house Of delegates combine who
passed the ton-year city lighting bill

the bribe, prevented the earlier issu-
ance of the indictment.

ARKANSAS MoB'S VENGEANCE.
Charles Young, Charged With a
Fiendish Crime, Burned by
Mob AT Forrest city, Ark.

Forrest City, Ark, Oct 20.-Charles
Young. the negro charged with as
saulting and afterwards numbering
Mrs. Ed. Lewis, a white woman, was
burned, Monday night, by a mob Of
infuriated citizens of this county.
Sheriff w. Z. Williams used every ef-
fort against this extreme measure
He had teephoned to Judge Hutton,
of this district, who had promised to
come, Tuesday, and give immediate
trial for the negro, and the leaders of
the mob had given the sheriff posi-
tive pledges that they would await
the trial and take no violent meas
ures.
About $50 o'clock Monday night a
mob marched to the county Jail and
demanded the keys. Deputy Sheriff
Murphy undertook TO communicate
with sheriff Williams, whereupon
members of the mob forcibly took the
cell keys from Murphy and, breaking
in the iail door, with sledge hammers
dragged the prisoner from his cell.
Sheriff Williams had arrived in the
meantime, but his protests were not
needed
The mob took the negro to point
about half mile east of town, bound
him. piled wood around him and set
fire TO it. The negro begged piteously
for his life but the mob turned deaf
ears. In a short time the flames
leaped up, and he expired in the pres
ence of the several hundred men com
nosing the mob. After Young had
been put to death the mob started IN
quest of another negro, alleged To
have been implicated in the killing OF
Mrs Lewis. At midnight he had not
been found.
