BURNED BY FRENzIEp MOB.
Half Dead Negro, Saturated With Oil,
Thrust Into Fire

Belleville, ILL.,, June s.-W. T. Wyatt,
a negro school teacher, was lynched
here for shooting and mortally wound
ing County Superintendent Charles
Hertel of St Clair county. Hertel had
refused to renew the teaching certiti-
cate of Wyatt, and the negro came into
mis- office and attacked him.
Wyatt was Immediately arrested and
taken to jail. Two hours later mob
stormed the jail, secured the negro
and despite the appeals of the mayor
and other officials he was hanged.
Hertel was removed to the hospital,
where the physicians probed for the
bullet, but he stated there is no hope
for his recovery. A young man named
Fielder was in the office during the
shooting. He grappled with Wyatt,
but the negro beat him off with the
butt of his revolver, iniicting a severe
wound. Before he was hanged Wyatt
asserted the shooting was the result
of political grudge.
The mob hanged Wyatt to a tele-
phone pole in the public square. Even
while his body was in the throes of
stranguation, members of the mob be-
gan building fire at the foot of the
pole. The flames tlared up and licked
at the feet of the victim, but this did
not satisfy the mob, and another and
larger fire was started. When it had
been burning briskly the negro, still
half alive, was cut down and after be-
ing covered with coal oil he was thrust
into the fire. Means of pain were
heard from the half dead victim of
the mob, and these served to further
nfuriate his tortures. They fell upon
him with clubs and knives and cut
and beat the burning body almost to
pieces, and not until every sign of life
had departed did they desist and per-
nit the flames to devour the body. As
the fire lighted up the scene the men,
bers of the mob stood around the fire
hurting fagots into the flames and de-
nouncing the negro Tor the shooting.

Ton one) and fastened. The vine will
make the growth about as shown In the
cut during this first year The trellis Is
an important feature of the plan. The
posts should be set eight feet apart,
and so that they will stand about six
feet out of the ground. Two wires are
used in the position, as shown in the
cut, the wires being fourteen inches
apart. In training the vine for the
second year cut of all that portion
above the top wire. and as the lateral
canes grow select the strongest opposite
each wire, one on either side Of the
main stalk, and train them along the

to select every other bud to supply the

Curious Fire Alarms.

In st. Petersburg the arrangement of
fire alarms is rather peculiar and de-
cidedly unique, and the fire alarm tele-
graph is al unknown thing. Instead a
fireman is at all times in the tower of
the city hall, and he watches the sur
rounding city to catch the first glimpse
of a fire. When a fire is discovered
during the day, he run up black balls
on the top of the tower as signals; at
night red lanterns are used. The num-
Der of the balls or lanterns shows the
district or ward in which the fire is
located, says a writer on Foreign Fire
Fighters III Cosmopolitan. AS soon
as the signal is seer by the man on
duty at the engine house he rings a
bell outside, which calls together the
members OF the company. who may be
scattered over a couple of blocks. This
method is not conducive to quick time
in reaching the Gene, and from twenty
minutes to half an hour is good work
unless the fire happens to be near an
engine house.

The FALL CORN PALACE
Matters We're discussed Along This
Line by Commercial Commit
tee of Mitchell Club.

a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Mitchell Club, which
has in hand the commercial interests
Of the city. was held Friday evening
to discuss a few matters that need
attention at this time.
The principal subject under dis
cussion was that OF the corn palace
this fall. The corn palace committee,
which had charge of the affair last
fall, was continued for another year,
as follows: L. O..Gale, S. FL. Scallin.
w. y. Turner, Dir. r. Il. Dundass
and j.. X. Smith The number Of
the committee was increased n
more by the addition of the mann Of
Robert Buns, and the selection is
indeed a Eoodione. 1t is likely that
tie committee will meet very soon
to start some Of the preliminary
matters for the big event in the fall.
One of the particular points to look
after at the present time is to get
the farmers in the surrounding coun-
try to plant colored corn Of different
varieties in order that there will be
an abundance next fall for decora-
ting the exterior and interior Of the
corn palace building. Much bette r
designs and more attractive ones can
be secured by having a large amount
of colored corn.
There is much that the committee
accomplish this spring and sum-
mer which has usually been pnteG
too late in the season on account of
the indecision Of the corn palace
project. 1t is a settled fact that the
corn palace will be held this year
and with that idea in view consider
able advance work can be accom-
plished.

Rev. Durant Honored.

At the meeting Of the Sioux Falls
Elks last Friday evening Rev. Frank
Durant, of Flandreau, was highly,
honored by the lodge in being made
a honorary member OF the order for
life. Mr.. Durant was a former resi-
dent OF this city, and was the rector
of the Episcopal church. He ex-
poets to leave soon for Hinckley,
Mimi, to which place he has been
called to preside over tile Episcopal
church. The following from the
Argus-Leader refers to the pleasing
incident:
There was a most pleasant Incident
during the lodge meeting and near
its close. Rev. Frank Durant, Of
Flandreau. has been a member OF the
Sioux Falls lodge for four years and
curing that entire time has been the
lodge chaplain. Recently Rev. Du-
rant accepted a call to an Episcopal
church at Hi:lckley. MIMI, and will
leave Flandreau for his new field
right after Easter. He came to Sioux.
Falls for the purpose of attending the

bye tn his friends and fellow lodge
men. He made a most pleasant talk
in bidding the lodge auieu, and stat
ed that while removing 50 far away
that he would not be able to pay his
customary visits to his lodge he
would retain his membership here
and would always remember his
old friends.
1t was at this juncture that Rev.
Durant was given a surprise which
will be a pleasant memory in his mind
for some time to come.
1t was moved by one of the brothers
that Rev. Durant be made a life
member Of the lodge. The presiding
officer called for a rising vote and
everyone Of the $50 members present
were on their feet in a minute.
This is an honor rarely bestowed on
a member, and Rev. Durant is the
first gentleman to receive the honor
from No. 262 Rev. Durant was
greatly affected by this action on the
part Of the lodge, but in a trembling
voice thanked his brothers for the
honor.

Good Paste.

Not every man can make a good -four
paste that can be preserved without
decay or mold. When such a paste is
needed, try the following: Mix good,
clean -four with cold water into a thick
paste and continue mixing until the
-four and water r well blended. Now
add boiling water and stir until 1t is
thin enough to spread with a brush.
Add to this a spoonful or two Of brown
sugar. a little corrosive sublimate and
a few drops Of oil Of lavender, and you
will have a paste that will hold with
wonderful tenacity.
