July brought her Summer heat
along all right. Very seldom do we
have finer harvest weather than the
last ten days and the tons of fine hay |
put up and the acres and acres of rye |
and wheat put into shock show that |
the farmers have been making good
use of their opportunities.
A good many of our farmer folks
spent "the day we celebrate" in the
harvest field and a large number
went to Bellecenter at night to enjoy
the fireworks display which was a
a very good one.

condemned as senseless and sugees-

condemned as senseless and sugges-
tive of evil. There will be no race
war. If there should be. there would
be more whites on the side of right
and justice than against it. True
manhood is above oppres-
sion, above wrong, above persecu-
tion of the weak. The colored race
are one-fifth of our population, and
the thought of their determination
or return to oppression. is horrible
beyond anything that is known in the
worlds history. Those who talk of
it are fiends, or it is pure gibberish.
The duty of the hour is to bring up
the colored race to a high standard
of citizenship, by giving them equal
opportunities for work, for education,
for protection and progression. and
not expect them to reach in fifty
years a standard that the whites
have been hundreds of years attain
ing.
Let us be just, and a God of JUS
tice will lead us to greater heights
than any nation has ever attained
in continent aud hemisphere, thi:
wide world around, in all the cycles
of history.
But brutality and injustice cannot
be practiced without our paying th'
penalty. Witness the war that wa
caused by slavery.
If there is a God of Justice, Ill
must be just.

Bloomfield.

The order of the day is making hay.
The hay crop in this locality is inn
mense; nearly an average of two tons
per acre and of the finest quality we
ever had.
Corn is doing extremely well for
the chance it has had. Seemingly
farmers have taken great care to
keep their corn clean of weeds and
filth, and If by chance we have a
late fall, there will be an abundance
of corn.
The wheat crop is nothing to brag
of, it is thin and straw fallen, fly
eaten and various diseases presume
The oats look hne, green and
thrifty: we are looking for a large
crop.
Well, we have rural mail delivery
at our doors now. The first emptied

band, of Lewistown, gave some
very good music. Old farmers, after
a hard weeks work, brought their
better halves and children to the en-

social evening. The ladies of the Re-

good quality. Uncle Jesse Dalrymple

Attempt to Lynch a Negro
Frustrated By The
Authorities.
Militia Shoot Down Over 80
of Those Attacking the
Jail.
EiQht Killed and Four MOrtdlly
Wounded.

A negro named Brown resisted ar
rest by an officer, at Evansville, Sun
day and killed the officer. The negro
was fatally wounded but was
arrested and thrown into Jail. In
tense excitement resulted, and num-
erous shots were exchanged between
whites and negroes. Some nine ne
groes were arrested and thrown into
Jail with Brown. The excitement
became so great that a company of
militia was called to protect the jail.
Monday evening a mob of thous-
and whites assembled to seize the
Jail and lynch the negroes. The militia
only 80 strong, had been stationed in
the street block away, in front OF
the Jail, and a strong force of police
inside. The mob hooting, yelling
and throwing stones, charged upor
the militia, and drove them back tC
the Jail. There the soldiers were as
saulted, and some knocked dowr
and shots were fired at them Thi:
was too much to bear, and the police
and militia fired upon the mob, cut
ting down over 80, of whom were
killed, and fatally wounded. A
this, the cowardly mob fed in terror
leaving their dead and wound. d il
the street, and the city since ha
been quiet.
Nothing but buck and ball will eve
stop a mob, and the lesson will b.
a salutary one, that will not be for
gotten till another generation o
of hoodlums has grown up.

EUROPEAN papers are hurting wit.
sarcasm, and ridicule at President
Roosevelt, for sending to the Gar of
Rnssia, the protest against the per-
secution of the Jews at Kishineff, and
they more than intimate that the
President would better attend to the
lynchings of negroes in the United
States. We are glad to see this; it
hows that the brotherhood of man
Is becoming more widely recognized
that men are all interested in
the welfare of humanity everywhere.
We are glad that Europe is calling
attention to the atrocities in Amer
lea But if they will send a protest
to President Roosevelt in respectful
terms, against the atrocities com
mitted here, he will not reject it, but
he will thank those who send it, for
showing an interest in our welfare.

nation are concerned about the
wrongs and atrocities in all other

GEN. Cassius NJ. Clay has been ad-
judged insane. In his prime he was
a man of splendid physique, strong
character and indomitable will.
Born in Kentucky, he was an anti
slavery man, and mainttined his
right to speak his views, whenever
he pleased. At one time he killed a
man named Turner, with a knife,
Turner and several others having
attacked him on account of his anti
slavery sentiments, intending to kill
him. He was hated and feared by
proslavery men, who would gladly
have taken his life, but his great
strength, fearlessness and determine
tion made them fear to attack him.
During the war, he was Minister to
Russia. He was striking figure,
and had a national reputation, years
before the war. He is now about 81
years of age.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are enervating days. when, as some
body has said. men drop by the sunstroke as
IL the Day of Fire had dawned. They are
fraught with danger to people whose systems
are poorly sustain ed and this leads us to say.
In the interest OF the less robust of our readers
that the full effect of Hoods sarsaparilla Is
such as to suggest the propriety of calling this
medicine something besides a blood purifier
and tonic,-say. a sustaining diet. IL makes
much easier TO bear the heat, assures refresh
ing sleep. and will without any doubt averI
much sickness this time of year.
