KILLED BY IOWA MOB.
Infatuated Citizens Avenge Murder
of a Town Marshal.

Infatuated Citizens Avenge Murder
of Town Marshal.
At Jefferson, Iowa, Saturday morning
a desperate murderer for three hours de-
Tended himself in his house against the
city officers and an angry crowd. The
fire department drowned him out of the
cellar, from where he was firing at The
crowd, and his body was riddled with
bullets.
City Marshal Swearingen was shot and
instantly killed by S. NJ. Shipman, whom
he sought to arrest. The trouble orig
mated when two boys on the way to a
circus passed some remark about Ship
man which caused him to throw stones at
them. They swore out warrants for
Shipmans arrest, and the city marshal
visited Shipman's house to serve them.
DIR. G. II. Grimmell, Shipmans fam
lily physician. went ahead of the marshal
to persuade Shipman to surrender peace
ably. Shipman agreed to this, but when
Swearingen and Deputy Sheriff Fred
Kendall appeared at the door he warned
them not to come in under penalty of
death. Swearingen started to draw his
revolver and Shipman fired a load Of
shot, striking the marshal in the lower
part of the face and killing him instant
ly. DR.. Grimmell and the deputy beat
a retreat, leaving the body of the marshal
upon the porch.
The nre company was called out, and
a hose run into the cellar. The water
drove Shipman from the cellar. He APP
peared at a window and fifty shots were
fired at him. 1t then became quiet in
side and Shipman's body was found on
the floor. full of bullets

CUBA IN BAD SHAPE.
Thousands o. Persons Are Reported
Facing Starvation.

Thousands oe Persons Are Reported
Facing Starvation.
The peopic OF the little republic of
Cuba are in pretty bad shape and the
industrial situation grows more acute
with every passing week. According to a
special correspondent of the New York
Herald, all except a very small number
of estates have ceased grinding sugar,
and thousands of employees have been
discharged, including those usually re-
tanned for blowing and cleaning fields
and doing other work preparatory for
the next crop. Very little such work
is now being done, because proprietors
have not and cannot borrow money to
pay the expenses of such labor
From all over the island reports are
constantly coming of increased indus
trial distress. A Caibarien paper says.
The sugar crop is finished. A great
majority of planters have discharged
their workmen retaining only sufficient
number to act as guards for the fac
tories. Nearly $4,000 men in this district
are now without money or employment.
These will now become Migrants. Nag-
rancy means vice, robbery and incendiar-
ism-iE one word, brigandage."
A Manzanillo paper says: AS time
goes by commerce is decreasing. beggars
are multiplying, and poverty becoming
epidemic"
A Cienfuegos paper says: "Our indus
tries are paralyzed. The termination
of the crop season has left thousands pen
piless and without means of livelihood
These are only fair samples of the
tons of editorial comment by newspa-
pers throughout the island. Many are
even far more emphatic and respondent

ABOUT The THUNDERsToRMs.
They Have Been Unusually Numerous

They Have Been Unusually Numerous
and Destructive This Season.
This seasons thunderstorms in The
West have been unusually numerous and
destructive. As usual. the large cities
get off lightly. Isolated structures, par
ticularly stables, and buildings like school
houses and churches, containing large
numbers of people, are more likely than
others to attract a bolt from the clouds.
The number of deaths by lightning IN the
whole United States in the course of an
entire year does not exceed 800. A sim
pie calculation shows, therefore, that the
chance that any particular person out
of the population of eighty millions viii
die by lightning stroke in any particular
year is only one-hundredth of one per
cent. That is nothing to worry about.
Yet there are people who do worry about
it, and who are in great dread, when
thunderstorm prevails in their neighbor-
hood that they will not survive it. 10
relieve the tension on their nerves it Is
suggested that they may render them
selves perfectly safe by insulation, which
can be readily effected by putting on their
rubbers and keeping away from the win
dows and walls of the room in which
they happen to be sheltered at the time.

TO START FOR POLE NEXT MAY.
Airship Inventor Mcdonnell and Ex-
plorer Frederick Plan Trim.


Patrick Ernas Mcdonnell, the Chicago
inventor, and Sergeant Julius K. Freder-
lex. the Arctic explorer, will make a
dash for the north pole in an airship early
next May. The start will be made from
Spitzenbergen. Since Sergeant Freder-
lex Joined forces with the inventor the
great question has been when shall the
trip be attempted. This, of course, was
on the presumption that the Mcdonnell
ship was in every respect capable of nav
igating the air. Now the time has been
definitely given out The only thing yet
remaining to be done is the completion
of the airship. There are several strong
reasons, the explorers held, why the time
selected is the best. The Arctic summer,
which is somewhat similar to our warm
season, is in every way favorable for
dash for the pole.
