JUDGE DENOUNCES MOB.
Instructs Federal Grand Jury to In
Evestisate Killing of Negro.

NVcST1SaIe OA A<CSAos
Jndce Thomas G.. Jones of the United
states District Court in his charge to
the jury at Huntsville. Ala, declared it
to be the duty of that body to return in
dictments against the lynchers of the
negro Naples under certain conditions.
Naples was in the Huntsville Jail, accus-
ed of a grave crime. A mob Of white
men attacked the JAIL set fire to it, Sc
cured possession Of Naples and hanged
him.
Judge Jones asks the jury to put this
nuestion to itself after hearing the evil
1ence in the matter: "Would a white
man. under the same circumstances,
charged with the particular offense upon
the same victim, have been attacked or
murdered by this mob?" In arriving at
an answer the jury is advised to CON
slider what was said by members of the
mob as we'll as what was done. II IL
shall decide that the mob would not have
murdered Naples if he had been white
man. says Judge Jones, then every dc
.ate of humanity and justice demands
hat you return true bills against the
members of the mob"
Here for the first time federal judge
bas held that a mob which murders
negro because he is a negro as we'll as
because he is charged with crime lays
tself liable to punishment under federal
av. The thirteenth and fourteenth

Talk on Advertising by c. w. Post to Pub

In his address to Publishers at the

the growth of a modern commercial
enterprise to the grow b Of an apple
tree. Good seed, plehty of work and
water are needed, but the tree will not
bear apples without sunshine.
The sunshine to the commercial
plant is publicity secured by advertis-

GET RICH ON OIL.
hany Small Fortunes Being Made by
Indiana Farmers.

Was only recently that anything like a
ooom prevailed in the counties where the
production Is largest. Oil has been pro-
iuced IN Delaware, Madison, Grant. jaw
ma randolph counties in paying quanti-
les ever since natural gas began to
play out"
Even now In section of country so
miles square, filled with oil drillers, spec
nlators and owners of producing terri
Tory, there IS none of that wildness that
mas characterized other parts of the
country In which the drill has struck
pay sand. No one has made a million
and none expects to turn out fortune to
that amount, but there are numerous in
cldents where families have been lifted
from poverty to affiuence. The wolf has
been driven from the door and now con-
tentment reigns where once all was dark.
Mr.. and Mrs. Elijah Golf of Liberty
township, Delaware county, will not have
to give up their farm and go to the poor
house. Elijah Golf is "a and his wife
Is 81. For years they have been hope
lessly in debt and less than three months
ago their guardian was contemplating
".
The guardian, who is also the county
auditor, shrank from telling his aged
rharges that the mortgage holders would
wait no longer and that they must leave
the home which they had so years ago
found in the wilderness.
One day party of oil drillers came
to the farm. They obtained the guard
JAMS consent and then sent a drill down
through the earth. Day after day the
drill pounded away. The old man and
his wife sat in their front yard and
watched the work. Mr.. Golf could not
quite comprehend what was being done.
One day there was a shout from the
drillers. They had struck oil. The old
man and his wife will not have to go to
the poor house. The leases on the farm
OF So acres will yield them an income
Of $3.50 month. The old man, too, will
now have a phaeton, a thing he in his
childish old age has long coveted, but
which until now his guardian could new
er promise him.
Samuel A. Winget had struggled for
years against poverty on his little farm
near Parker City. His income had new
er been more than $500 year and as his
children grew ito young manhood and
young womanhood he longed to see them
get a good education, but he almost de-
SPARED. The drillers came. They want

was a success. One month later the rural
carrier brought Winget an envelope con-
tanning a check for $3.50 He handled
it with trembling hands. He realized
that if the we'll held out he was a rich
man. 1t means so much to his wife and
children. He is now receiving checks
monthly of from $500 to $500.
The cases of many others are similar.
Kind fortune has smiled, not on the
wealthy spectators, but upon scores of
Woodworking farmers. Men who once

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE
A Recent Instance Proves That a Woman's
Happiness is Largely Dependent on the
State of Her Blood.

L
Happiness is Largely Dependent on the
State of Her Blood.
When the blood is disordered every
organ of the body is affected unfavorably
and fails to discharge its functions
properly. In the case Of every woman

periodical publication of the blood and
SO long as this occurs her health and
spirits unfailingly reveal the beneficial
results. So slight a cause as cold or a
nervous shock may produce a suppress
sion of this vital function and until it is
restored she is doomed to misery. The
remedy that has proved most prompt
and effective i'll all disorders peculiar to
the female sex, is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Matte Griggs,
of No. 807 Indiana street, Lawrence,
Kansas, concerning which she speaks as
follows:

unknown cause, there was a cessation

LINEMEN MAY STRIKE.
Bell Telephone Company Is Again
Having Trouble.

The threatened strike of the Bell
telephone Hnemen in Kansas City may
spread to Topeka If put into operation,
but the chances are against such ac-
ton. A year ago the Topeka linemena
struck for increased wages, and their
Kansas City brethren did not respond
by walking out and making the tie
UP effective. That fact is still remem-
bered by the Topeka union, and it may
be sufficient to prevent the Topeka
Hnemen from joining the threatened
move of the Kansas City labOrers.
A general order from the union to
walk out would naturally have to be
obeyed by some of the men working iii
Topeka, but quite a number of them

peka, and spoil the effect of the strike
of those compelled to do so by in
structions of their union.

terests of the NJ. K and T. telephone
lines in Topeka, said in regard to the
matter: Il do not know what the men
will do. We pay them a fair schedule,

Third Ward the Center of Ac-
tiVity Today.
Both Sides Are Putting Forth
Every Effort.
RESULT MAY BE CLOSE
That Is What the Guesser
Thinks About It.
Little Doubt of Holidays Elec-
tiOn in Second.

IN spite of the misty and unpleasant
weather the indications are at
o'clock today that a tolerably full vote
will be poIled in the Second and Third
wards. In the Third, especially, the
voting has been rapid during the
morning.
The Tennesseetown precinct, which
is expected to give a large majority
for Wolf. hed polled one-third of its
total registered vote at 1890. About
fifteen minutes later, the east precinct
of the ward, which is conceded to
Green. had poIled one-thtrd of it's reg
fstered vote.
The third precinct of the Third. which
votes at Bennett flats, has the small
est registration of any precinct in the
ward, but up to 1 o'clock today, it
had polled more votes than any of the
other precincts.
It is the usual experience that the
Third ward is rather sloyY about get
ting in it's vote. Workers in that ward
have been accustomed to expect the
most of the voting to be done in tine
afternoon. 1t is rather unusual for
such a heavy percentage of the voting
to be done in the morning.
The total vote of the four precincts
of the ward, at o'clock, was as fol-
lows:
