We have very frequently heard OF
men dying from the effects of putting
too much corn juice into their stom.
achs, but William Hafner, farmer
living near Trampeleau, Wis, is the
first one we have heard of who died
from the effects Of too much corn it.
self. 1t seems that one day this week
Hafner was taken with an Unsuitable
appetite for green corn. He ate two
dozen ears for dinner, with no bad re.
suits, fifteen ears for supper and went
to bed happy; in the night he awoke
with a desire for corn still gnawing at
his vitals. He arose and ate eleven
ears more. This proved too much of
a: good thing and he was found dead
the next morning, having apparently
died in torturipg commissions.

Sunday newspapers in this country
are endeavoring to work up senti-
ment in favor of the annexation Of
Santo Domingo and Hayti or in other
words they are trying to persuade the
Caucasians that it would be the right
thing to steal the two black republics
because they are mot capable Of self
government" They have worried
along without the aid of this govern
ment for long time and they can
worry along longer if let alone. ID

The highest salaried man in the
United States, if not in the world
Charles M. 'Schwab, president of the
billion dollar steel trust, is not happy,
neither: is he well; on the contrary,
he is; very i'll, so i'll that he will re-
sign his million dollar salary, and
then spend as much more, if neces-
sary,: in his efforts to regain his
health. TO be healthy and happy is
far better than to be wealthy and I'm
happy. Yet we all are in the race for
wealth as eager as ever Schwab was,
and the only reason we are not in the
same fix, is because we are generally
badly handicapped in some way. We
ought to be thankful for the handicap
but, are we? ..,y- d, 8

"THE LYNcHlNG OF BRuTEs. !"

'THE LYNcHING OF BRUTEs."
Such was the heading of, an article
in Harpers Weekly recently in which
woman pours forth prejudiced plant
! It, caused the following letter to be
sent to Harper's Weekly:
Sir: In your issue of August End
appeared an article signed Laura Fitz
hugh Preston, taking exception to a
paragraph referring to lynching, con
tanned in an editorial of this journal
July 18th. Miss Preston says: "That
while lynching has occurred in these
localities, it has been in every case
(please note, every case) ''the out
come Of ,fendish. and unnamable
crime" This is the same old time
worn plea; it is indeed hard to admit
that lynching is, a diabolical pastime
participated in by many, winked at
by others, springing from pure hatred
of the Negro as such. r. u SsESs. -;
The writer of that article, the editor
or any reader of the paper can prove
to his or her satisfaction that the
above statement is pure fabrication
it is truly surprising that any sane
person should try to force such evi.
dent untruths on reading public. L j
I The Chicago Tribune will furnish a
complete Inst of lynchings and the
cause of each, from 1881 to, the pres
emit day; in that list will be found all
kinds OF excuses; here are a few;
slapping child, making threats, no
cause, informing, refusing evidence,
giving evidence; testifying against
whites, for defending self, quarraling
with white man, throwing stones, etc,
are these the ''fendish and unnam-
able crimes?" Although the writer de-
tends the entire South, the i claim
might be advanced that "these locali-
ties mean only Florida then we will
take Florida S record: Number lynched
for all causes from 1885 to December
31st, 1900, 100; from January LIST, 1901
to August LIST, 1901, 6; January Z,

iams, completely in murder. May 20,

Are these the "fiendish and I'M
namabla crimes?" IA
We Negroes wish no special favors;
all we ask is justice! If a Negro
commits a crime, let him pay the full
penalty, but lawfully. We do not ask
that the crimes of our people be hid
den but when published, let the pub
fishers be truthful.

When the white carpet baggers
from the North went down South they
found they were powerless with

They at once proceeded to put Afro

their tickets, but gave them some ap-

ply of Ammunition on Hand.

If the Thirteenth regiment was to be,
today, ordered to join the Twelfth and
Eighth regiments, in preserving order
in the Shenandoah district. the call
would find the Scranton guardsmen
prepared to leave home instantly.
All tents and equipment have been
carefully packed, and are in readiness
for instant transfer, and the only de-
lay which would be encountered in case
of a sudden call, would be the COM
paratively trifling one which lies in the
gathering together of the men.
The regiment is amply prepared for
trouble, in the matter of ammunition.
Each company has its reserve of one
thousand rounds, and in addition there
is large amount of powder and ball
on hand, which have been supplied for
work at the range.
The regiment itself has seldom been
in better condition than at present.
The officers, both staff and line. are
exceedingly competent soldiers, most of
whom have already seen service, in the
suppression of strikes, and in the Span
ish-American war, and the men are
uniformly well disciplined, alert and
active,
