There IsA Difference

The republicans of Ohio, in state con vention assembled, commended "the rapid and steady progress made in the preparation of the Philippines for the fullest and most practicable degree of self-goyernment," but could find no words in which to commend any meas ure of the same kind of government for the people of Alaska who are already prepared for it. It Is sincerely to be hoped that when the work of prepara- ton in the Philippines is completed, the treatment accorded Alaska may not be the sum and substance of their political portion. .-Ketchikan Journal.

CROWD THREATENED
Three Negroes Jailed In Fremont,
O., for a Murder.
THE JAIL SURROUNDED BY A MOB.
The Sheriff Declared He Would Shoot the
First Man Who Made an Attempt
TO Break Down the
Jail Door.

Fremont, o., May 11.-Mob vio-
lence, which was threatened in this
city Saturday night as the result Of
the alleged killing Of Otto Mischke
by one of three negroes, subsidized at
four o'clock yesterday morning. The
three negroes who are charged with
the crime are securely locked in the
city Jail at Norwalk and the excite
ment that was rampant for several
hours Saturday night has about sub
sided.
From one o'clock until four o'clock
Sunday morning the Jail building was
surrounded by the angry crowd, call
ing upon Sheriff Mason to deliver
the prisoners. For an hour or more
the sheriff stood on the front steps
of his residence and admonished
the threatening crowd to be care
full and quiet and not commit an act
that would forever shame Fremont
in the eyes of the world. Sheriff
Mason said he had taken an oath to
do his official duty and do it he
would, and he said he would shoot
the first man who made an attempt
to break down the Jail door and enter
the building.
For fear OF further trouble during
yesterday and last night Mayor

Stratton had loaded revolvers in their
