THE BURNING OF WHITE.
Arrest of One Participant Reported
 to Be Arthur C0mweIl.

Arrest of One Participant Reported
 to Be Arthur C0mweII.
 WILMINGTON Del, June 244-Wil mington is all excitement as one of the 5000 who participated in the burning to death of the negro murderer. George White, has been arrested on a charge of murder. Word went along the line that the prisoner was the motorman John Baker, who, it is said, led the mob and angry groups gathered on every corner.
 The police refused to divulge the name of the prisoner and referred all inquirers to the attorney general, H. H Ward. who said the prisoner was "a man known as Arthur Comwell," deny. ing that he was Baker.
 Colonel James McComb, a wealthy retired capitalist of Claymont, called on the police authorities and told them he would go bail for Comwell and for all persons that may be arrested in con. nection with the lynehings
 Attorney General Ward said that he expected more arrests, that there were twelve leaders in the mob and that they would be arrested as soon as the police could locate them.
 It is said that state and city detec- tives were in the crowd and recognized some of those who participated in the burning.
 It is generally believed that had the courts brought the murderer to speedy trial the tragedy would have been averted. The judges who had post poned action upon the case of the con- fessed assailant of Miss Bishop explain their action by stating that popular prejudice and indignation would have precluded the possibility of a fair trial for the culprit-

She had been naughty, there was no doubt about that, and her mamma was administering corporal punishment. All morning she had been perverse, and now, as the maternal hand fell with depressing force upon her small person, she yelled Justify.
 'Be still, I tell you!' said her moth CT, without interrupting the business in hand. "Stop crying! Stop this min ute!"
 The small person turned deflantly.
 "Well, how am agoin' to stop crv- in','' she sobbed, "when you keep a-spankin' me all the time to make me cry?"-N. Y. Times.

Cold April Every Hundred Years.

French meteorologists have worked out the theory that exceptionally frigid Aprils occur at intervals of ex- actly 100 years. In April, 1903, the gutters were frozen and snow fell in Paris. In April, 17o3, the price of wood rose and, people died of cold in the streets, while chronicler of the period writes: "There is snow at Yer sailles, and we are perishing of cold at Paris at season when the sun ought to be warming us. The north winds aff1ict us, bringing us cold from the mountains Documentary evil dence is not needed to prove that April, 1903, is also distinguished by Low temperatlsSs.C Chicago Chron- icle.

do nuestro querido amigo don Pe-
dro Rivera Collazo, ex-alcalde de
Cavey, quien habia sido condena-
do Dor la Corte de Distrito a un
afio, ocho meses y un dia, por el
delitO de lesiOnes.
Este hecho es bien conOcido
de toda la isla, para que tengamos
que referirlo; pero 81 diremos, que
siendo alcalde de Cayey el senior
Rivera, fu6 acometidO una noche
Dor las turbas republicanas de

llamado Cruz Figueroa. Logro

do su revolver disparo un tiro que
.fu6 a herir uno de los turbas
Estos son, en- sfntesis, los hechos.

has; por ell contrariO, estas le te-
.mfan. Los republicanos de Cayey
.decfan a sus jefes de San Juan:
¶ ganar aquf las elecciones,
.es necesario meter en- la carcel
don Pedro Rivera.>
Y como nuestrOs adversariOs

salary, references and experience"

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife replen.
ishes her supply OF ChamBerlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is certain to be needed be.
fore the winter is over, and results are
much more prompt and satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon as
the cold is contracted and before it has
become settled in the system. In almost
every instance severe cold may be
warded of by taking this remedy freely
as soon as the first indication of the cold
appears. There is no danger in giving it
to children, for it contains no harmful
substance. 1t is pleasant to take-both
adults and children like it. Buy it and
you will get the best. 1t always cures.

Head HunterS.

Head hunters is the name given to
the professional assassins Of the Solo
mon islands. The vocation OF these
men is to procure the heads of those
whom they are hired to murder or to
sell the victims for sacrifcial purposes.
Sometimes the enemies of man offer
large sum to be paid in the native shell
money for the head. which viii be a
proof of death, and the head hunter.
with cold blooded and inscriptions
methods. lays his plans.
Frequently great caution Is neees-
sary. The intending murderer viii
worm his way into the friendship OF
his victim. and a long period may
elapse before the opportunity viii ar
rive for the fatal stroke. 1t may thus
happen that the murdered mans death
will have been compassed by one whom
he has regarded as the closest and
most loving of lntimates. Surely this IS
the most hateful OF all professions fol.
lowed for the sake of gain.

The Baltimore and Ohio is The origi.

in 1927 the founders wished to connect
Baltimore and the seaboard, by the most
direct line west ward, with St. Louis on
the Mississippi. From Baltimore to
Cumberland the line followed the old ma.
tional pike; then direct line was built
to Parkersburg on the Ohio river; other
companies built lines from Parkersburg
direct to st. Louis, and all OF these lines
have merged into the Baltimore and Ohio
system, which forms the most direct
route between the east and the west.

A Natural Result.

1t is very reasonable to suppose If the
foundation of structure was removed
that the building itself is bound to come
down. This same principle can be ap.
piled to disease. Take medicine into the
system that will remove the cause Of
sickness, and illness will leave of itself
Dyspepsia, Indigestion, sick-headache and
biliousness have their foundation in
stomach disorders. Remove this weak.
ness and the other symptoms are no
more. There is one cure for this that oil

right at the beginning of these diseases
and make the cure by taking away the
cause. Sold by Stone & Mercer, drug.
