The Peril of the Mob Spirit.

When a lynching occurs, the law is more
truly lynched than is the victim of the mob's
fury. It is an outburst of anarchy, and not an
Eruption of righteous Indignation against an
a%trocious crime.
In defense of lynching, it is sometimes said:
"Stop the outrages that provoke lynching and
the lynching will cease" But, pray tell which
outrage is meant2 If reference to the horrible
crime of rape is intended, it is enough to say
in reply that it is not the cause of one-fourth
the I~ynchings which occur in the United States.
Two years since, for example, the figures for a
year showed only sixteen cases of ravishing
against one hundred and twsnty-eight lynchings.
In the case at Evansville, Ind, the original sin
which gave rise to the lynching was the shoot
ing of a policeman. But the mob sent a load Of
buck-shot into the breast of a young girl of ff-
teen years of age, who was in nOwise involved.
How can such reckless fury ever cure crime, or
arrest disorder? Is there one home more secure
or one life more safe by reason of such horrible
outbursts?
Who composed this Indiana mob? Were it's
leaders men who we're incontrollably jealous for
morality and justice? On the contrary, the ar
rests made subsequent to the lynching showed
among the leaders three professional gamblers,
three men known to the police as desperate char
acters, and one man who had been guilty of kill
ing ahoCneF some years ago; HS II c30ar CLaC
this l~ynching was fomented and carried out by
a lot of blood-thirsty scapegraces, who had not
the slightest interest in anything good? They
are the sort who find pleasure in the bloody
brutalities of the p~rize-fght. And yet men of
responsibility we're found foolish enough to
apologize foA the atrocities
And such are the men, generally, who organize
mob violence. How delighted they must be when
decent people rush into print to defend, if not
to e~ulogize, their diabolical deeds! Is it not
time decent people put their pens to better use!
The mob which they ~eulogize to-day will turn
upon it's defenders tomorrow. The taste for
blood grows with indulgence.
Depend upon it, no nation ever retains liberty
after 1t ceases to maintain law. Lynch law pro-
tects no home, but does rather pull down the
strongest defense of all the homes in the Com
monwealth Our homes are sheltered by law,
and they are not shielded by awlessness-Bishop
Warren A. Gambler, of Georgia, in Atlanta Con-
%stitution.

information is wanted about any crop is what sort

ago it became a habit of the sgreat ro-
mancer of science to make cOpiouS
notes of anything he thoughtlmight be
useful to him in his works. After he
had studied his notes he would set to
work to think out plot, and when he
had satisfied himself in that direction
he would start writing. He took a
keen interest in his characters and
practically lived with them until their
history was finished.
NJ. Verne began his literary career as
a dramatist and for thirteen years Ia
bored successfully in that field as a
writer of comedies. 1t was not until
1863 that he published the first of the
stories upon which his fame was to
rest. This was give Weeks In a Bal
loon" Its immediate success induced
him to continue in this direction, and
the result was the widely read series
of romances that have delighted the
world.
Jules Verne's books have been trans
lated into many languages, even into
Arabic and Japanese. Not caring for
travelling, he naturally spent a good
deal of his time reading about the coun-
tries he wished to describe. His chief
amusement since youth has been
yachting. He has a fine steam yacht,
and his happiest days have been those
spent on its decks.
The veteran story writer's wife is n
highly cultured woman and is great
admirer of her husbands work. They
are q devoted couple and a year ago
celebrated their golden wedding. Two
years ago NJ Verne distinguished him
self by declining seat in the French
academy for the second time.

Gov. Yates, at n love feast, suggests
a little analysis of the governor as a
lover. Love me, and you get a job;
love me not, and you get no job; and,
moreover. if you love me not, the GU
bernatOrial boot will kick you out of
any job from which you now draw
balm in Gilead. Brethren. love one an
other. and, loving hard enough, strong
enough and long enough will reject
me, which means promotions and
raising of salary and incidentals.'
This is the plant of Gov. Yates. 1t
sounds like job feast; but. no, it's a
love feast.-St. Louis Republic.

II. III. Thomas Guarantees That HyOmei
VIII Cure the Worst Case of CRtarrh
In Rock Island.

When one of the most reputable
concerns in Rock Island guarantees
that medicine viii effect.a cure or
it will refund the money, it speaks
volumes as to the merits of that rem
edy 1t is in this way that T. Fl.
Thomas is selling Hyomei, the treat
able cures of both acute and chronic
catarrh in Rock, Island and vicinity
Hyomei is not pill nor is it a
liquid that has to be taken with a
tablespoon or wineglass.. Just breathe
it by the aid of an inhaler that comes
in every outfit and benefit will be seen
from the first treatment.
1t destroys all germ life in the air
passages and lungs and enriches and
purifies the blood with additional
ozone. 1t cures catarrh of the head
and throat, or of the stomach, liver
and kidneys. Whatever mucous mem
brane contains catarrhal germs. there
Hyomei will do its work of healing.
When using This treatment, the air
YOU breathe will be found like that on
the mountains high above the sea
level where grow balsamac trees and
plants which make the air pure by
giving off volatile antiseptic fragrance
that is healing to the respiratory or
gans.
\ complete Hyomei outfit costs but
S1.O0, and includes an inhaler, dropper
and sufficient Hyomei for several
weeks treatment.
Remember that if Hyomei does not
cure you. I. II. Thomas will refund
your money. This is good time to
cure catarrh by this natural method
and prevent catarrhal colds that are
common at this season.

A Strange Mission.

The failure of any of the orators on
Antietam battlefield Thursday. to
mention Gen. George b. Mcclellan
was a very singular, although boubt-
less an accidental performance. For
Gen. Mcclellan commanded the union
army in that great encounter. which
resulted in a decisive check of Gen.
Lees invasion of Maryland and march
that Gen. Mcclellan does not stand
very high in the minds of narrow par
tisans. but he certainly deserves cred
it for the fact that Antietam was not
another federal disaster.
To have fought the superb and ag-
gressiye army of Lee to a standstill on
that occasion. in view of what had
happened in the preceding weeks, was
an achievement the honor of which
Gen. Mcclellan justly shares with the
army CT the Potomac. President
Roosevelt in his address the other day
asserted that at least two European
powers would probably have recogniz-
ed the independence of the confeder-
aey had the issue of Antietam been a
confederate triumph. That may be
true; if so. it shows the great inn
portance of the battle. The historian
Rhodes. while hardly supporting the
presidents statement. does declare
that the battle of Antietam gave us
the emancipation proclamation. which
is in itself enough to distinguish that
combat and the commander of the
army of the Potomac for all time.
Gen. Mcclellan deserved honorable
mention" in the orations of Thursday.
but the fact that he did not get it can
affect nothing.
