Actually Lynch Negro in illinois,

Suoh an example of mob vio-
lence as that displayed at Bellville
Saturday night brings up for seri-
Gus consideration the question
whether or not the people of Illi-
nois are now to vindicate their
claim to higher respect for law
than that prevailing in the South.
Bellville lie not crossroads ham,
let isolated from the rest of the
world. 1t 10 city with a popula-
ton of $4,000 or more. 1t is with
in a short distance of St. Louis,
and it has railways to keep it in
touch with civilization. Yet a
Belleville mob, principally bust
ness aud professional men," took
a negro from the Jail, beat him
until he was half dead, hanged
him to telephone pole in the
public square and completed the
horror by burning his body. The
crime with which the negro was
charged. a cold-blooded and muir.
derous assault upon a county su.
psrintendent Of schools, was un-
doubleday atrocious, but southern
communities will be quick to point
Tout that it was not the kind vi
crime which in the case of most
southern lynohings is alleged to
be an excuse and extern uation for
mob murder.
According to the dispatches
from Belleville, every negro in
the city has been warned to leave
town or suffer the consequences.
In other words, the people of this
northern city are engaged in just
the same kind CT business as that
which the north has 30 often CON-
ldsmned in southern communities.

TELEPHONE COMPETITION

All indications point to the fact
that the days of the telephone mo-
nopoly are numbered in this part o.
Kentucky.
The Home company, of Louisville,
has brought relief to the people oil
Louisville and is gradually extend
ing its lines to other cities. Bowl
ing Green has granted a franchise
to new company and this will be
connected with Louisville. Padu-
cab has also rebelled against high
prices and inferior service and has
installed new independent com.
pany in way that is a knock. out
blow to the old company. The Reg
lister says of this change:
THE decision of the retail mer.
chants, grocers, lawyers, doctors
and dentists through their commit
tees to adopt exclusively the SER
vice to be given by the new tele-
phone company that is now nearing
completion, will enable that com.
pany to open up for business with
list that will practically cover the
city and county, and we congratu.
late the new concern over the stroke
of good business. With such list
to start with 1T will have no di6cul
ty whatever obtaining hundreds Of
other patrons who have been in
doubt as to which company they
would patronize."
This plan of settling the question
of two telephones answers one of
the stock arguments of the tele.
phone trust that the people do not
want two telephones.
Where there are two companies
seeking the business of a city, the
public patronage will naturally
center upon the one company offer
ing the best contract service.
So far as we have heard, Hop.
kinsville is the only city in Ken
lucky where the people are denied
the benefit of competition in tele.
phone service.
How long they will stand the
present state of affairs remains t.
be seen.

'.OLD ARKANSAW. .
Latest Comedy Boom, at Opera

"Old Arkansaw," Fred Ray

this should be glad news for those
who like clean-cut original comedy.
Jerry" who furnishes much of the
fun in "Old Arkansaw" will at once
prove the favorite of those who de-
sire heartyilaugh. "Old Arkan-
saw" has plot, and we'll defined
one at that, it carries more scenery
than the majority of the attractions
seen here and it has many scenic
and mechanical effects that sur
prise you, but good natured fun
predominates in the evenings en-
tertainment and "Jerry" and the
other fuu-makers invariably send
the large crows home laughing.
Arkansaw as State has become
far-famed IN pany and various
ways, partly from her many and
varied products, and greatly from
the picturesque characteristics Of
the natives of the OzaFks. These
folk have figured in song and story
to such an intent that every intelli-
gent citizen is more or less acquaiB-
ted with their excentTicities, and
most peculiar sense of humor.
Fred Raymond, author of that fa-
nous comedy, "The Missouri Girl"
spent several months among the
backwoods people, and succeeded
in reproducing the most interesting
of them in his new melo-dramatic
comedy, "Old ArkaRsaw. Many

an interesting one founded on facts,
