FARMER MURDERED.
A. Railbach Shot and Killed Near
Great Bend, Kan.
JEALOUSY THE CAUSE OF THE CRIME.
Wright. = Farm Hand who Committed the
Crime, Was Infatuated with Mrs. Hor-
nor. at Whose House the viO-
tim Boarded.

Great Bend, Kan, June 29.-A. Rail
bach, a farmer 80 years old, was shot
and killed yesterday morning at the
home Of Mrs. Horner, IL miles south
Of this city, by Lew Wright, farm
hand. Jealousy was the cause.
Wright. who also is about 80 years
of age, has worked in this vicinity for
the last three years, and was at one
time employed on the Horner farm,
and became infatuated with Mrs.
Horner. Railbach spent most Of his
time at a farm in Arkansas, coming
here each year to look after his
wheat crop and had board and room
at Mrs. Horner's, whose farm Joined
his. His father was there with him.
When Railbach left the place to at
tend to his stock Wright, who had
evidently been lying in wait, sprang
from his place of concealment and
fired five shots at him, two taking eff
feet. The injured man died before
medical aid could reach him.
The aged father saw the deed COM
mitted. but was powerless to prevent
it. After firing the shots Wright
walked to the McGinty farm, where
he told Ed McGinty that he had killed
Railbach and was going to st. John
to give himself up. The last report
Of him was that he was seen walking
west through a wheat field further
south and was not going toward st.
John at that time. The murdered
man was well known and liked in the
community and, as the crime became
generally known, many threats were
expressed against the murderer, but
It is not thought that lynching will
occur. Mrs. Horner is woman OF
excellent reputation and is a daugh-
ter Of M. Kimbler, of this city.

GUARDED BY MILITiAMEN.
Street Cars Ran Yesterday on Three Lines
In baltimore without Serious MOlesta-
tIOn, Owing to Strong Guards.

Richmond, Va, June 26.-Street
cars were run on three of the city
lines yesterday afternoon and were
running at night without serious mo-
lestation. On each car were four, six
or eight militiamen, with rifles load
ed and bayonets fixed. Strong guards
of militiamen were on duty during
the day at all the powerhouses and
car barns, including the west end
barn, in Henri county. Stringent
orders were issued by the authori-
ties yesterday with the object of
maintaining order, women and chill
dren being asked to remain ut home
as far as possible and the troops be-
ing specifically directed to shoot
promptly and to kill If necessary to
prevent destruction of property or
peril to life or limb. Arrests are
made on the slightest provocation
and altogether what is very nearly
martial law Is being enforced. There
were some slight outbreaks Of dis
order. A volley was fred over the
heads Of a riotous crowd by q squad

portion of the city late last night
were filed with pedestrians, every
thing was quiet. The police are pre-
venting the congregation Of crowds
by keeping every one moving.
The lawless element among the
colored people is largely blamed for
the recent disorder. 1t is said that
in certain parts Of the town they
marched through the streets and
roughly handled any white person
who dared stand in their way. On
the other hand, the whites and some
Of them Of the better class, are not
held blameless. There have been
instances where white men and boys
were the aggressors.
There were no arrests made yes
terday in direct connection with the
lynching and the police give no in
timation that they contemplate
making any such arrests. 1t is
known that certain prominent citi-
zens have suggested to the police
that further arrests for the burning
of White would be inadvisable, in
view of the excitement and disor-
der caused by the arrest of Arthur
Cornell, Of Indiana, in connection
with the lynching. Cornell was re-
leased from custody yesterday, aft
er lengthy hearing before Magis-
trate George H. Hollis. for want OF
evidence.

who was shot Thursday night, died
last night. Contrary to police re-
ports, Cramer was shot by William
a man Of his own color. The
two men got into an argument In
q restaurant over the lynching OF
White. Simms was given hearing
yesterday and was held without bail
to await the action Of the coroner.
Details from four companies OF

29.-Twenty-four miners were killed
and about 80 others seriously wound
ed in an explosion of gas in Las Es-
peranzas coal mines, the property OF

Tho disaster was caused by the igni-
ton of gas by the flame from a de-
fective lamp The men were on the
point Of quitting work for the day.
Probably 100 men were in the mine
at the time Of the explosion. After
the shock of the explosion those who
were able to move rushed for the ex-
its, but the falling earth and debris

50 miners escaped with broken limbs

TORTUR|NG
D|SF|CUR|NG
Scalp and Blood
Hurnours
Speedily Cured by Cutleura
Soap, Ointment and Pills
When the Best Physicians and
All Else Fail.

The agonizing itching and burning
of the skin, as In eczema; the frightful
scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair
and crusting of the scalp, as in SCALED
head; the facial disfgurements, as In
pimples and ringworm the awful suf-
fering of infants, and anxiety OF worm
out parents, as In milk crust, letter and
salt rheum, all demand remedy OF
almost superhuman virtues TO success
fully cope with them. That Cuticura
Soap, Ointment and Pills are such
stands proven beyond all doubt. No
statement Is made regarding them that
Is not justified by the strongest evil
dence. The purity and sweetness, the
power to afford immediate relief, the
certainty Of speedy and permanent
cure, the absolute safety and great
economy have made them the standard
skin cures, blood purifiers and humour
remedies Of the civilized world.
Battle the affected parts with hot
water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse the
surface of crusts and scales, and soften
the thickened cuticle. Dry, without
hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint-
ment freely, to allay itching, irritation
and inflammation, and soothe and heal,
and, lastly, take the Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool and cleanse the blood.
This complete treatment, costing but
one dollar, affords instant relief, per-
mits rest and sleep in the severest
forms Of eczema and other itching,
burning and scaly humours Of the skin,
scalp and blood, and points to a speedy,
permanent and economical cure when
all other remedies and the best physi-
clans fail.

Wilmington, Del, June 25.-ArthuT
Corwell, who claims his home is in
Hartford City, Ind, and who was ar
rested Tuesday night on the charge
Of completely in the burning to death
of George White, the negro assailant
and murderer of Helen Bishop, was
released on $4,000 bail. Last night
about 1000 persons gathered in front
Of the city hall, where Corwell was
confined, and made q demonstration.
The police authorities took every
precaution to prevent an attempt at
rescuing the prisoner by the crowd.
Extra police were on duty within the
police station and all the police Of
.fcials were on hand. The crowd
committed no overt act, however, be-
yond making great noise. There
were loud cries for the release OF
Corwell.
The coroner's inquest was conclud'
ed last night and when word reached
the police station that the verdict
did not implcate Corwell, the au-
thorities decided to release him on
$4,000 bail. This was promptly fur
nished by Thomas McHugh, OF this
city, wholesale liquor dealer.
The belief is growing here that no
one will ever be punished for the
work Of the mob. Prominent citi-
zens, although they deplore the
lynching, stand ready to raise fund
for the defense of any one who shall
be prosecuted for the offense.

Millionare's Poor stomach.

The WORKOUT stomach of the over-fed
millionaire is often paradsd in the pub
lie prints as horrible example of the
evils attendant on tbs possession of great
wealth. But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs. The proportion Is far great,
or among the toilers. Dyspepsia and
indigestion are rampant among these
people. and they suffer far worse tor
lures than the millionaire unless they
avsil themselves of standard medicine
like Green's August Flower, which has
been favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over thirty-five
years. August Flower rouses the tor
pid liver, thus creating appetite and in
surfing perfect digestion. 1t tones and
vitalizes the entire system and makes
life worth living, no matter what your
station. Trial bottles, 25c; REGULAR size,
