Shot Woman,

Fred Schultz, son of Henry Schuetz,
ir., of the Schuetz & Renziehausen Com
pany, brewers, of Pittsburg, last night
shot and seriously wounded Mrs. Minnie

SATURDAY EVENING. MAY IA. 1904

THERE WAS manifest disappointment
on the part of some people in this city
on Thursday night last when 1t was
definitely ascertained that a negro ar
rested for murderously sssaulting the
captain and mate of a lumber schooner
and stealing $3.50 had been removed
from this city and securely lodged IN
the Alexandria county Jail. The ma
iority of Alexandrians, however, breath
cd easier when it was known that the
c;tv was not to be further disgraced by
the scenes of 1897 and 1899, when IT.
responsible mobs took the law into their
own hands and brutally lynched their
victims. Such scenes are blots upon
the city's history, and the blood VIII
not out in years to come. There are
oortoin cases when much can be said IN
extenuation of lynch law, but when
mobs form every time murder is com
mitted or one is attempted or afelonious
assault made it is time for the authorl-
tics IN take a firm stand. Many IN
Alexandria Especially among the young
are ant scholars in initiating the thought
less of other places, and in recent years
,hore has been an evident increase IN
the thirst for blood upon the part Of
such. The assault of last wednesday
NIGHT was of heinous nature, and the
6and who committed it will doubtless be
given the full penalty Of the law, and
in the meantime all calling themselves
good citizens should suspend judgment
Sbonld this fever for lawlessness con-
tinue to grow there is no telling where
If will stop, and the time may come
when whites as we'll as blacks arrested
on serious charges will be regarded as
the legitimate prey of mobs. 1t is time
for certain people to realize the fact that
they live in a civilized country when
law and order should be sacred. ii
tbov show no inclination to abide by the
,ows of the land the officers should en-
force obedience, and during excitement,
which was in evidence Thursday night
the police should take in custody such
people as talk of lynching or whose
words tend in any way toward suggest
ing a breach of the peace. Often Oh
ficers of the law listen to the rawlings Of
such people without performing thell
sworn duty.

DISPATCHES from Tibet show that
the English are again in trouble. The
Thibetans have taken the offensive against
the British mission camp at Gyantse
and are steadily bOmbarding the camp
ct that place with cannon. Another
large gathering of Thibetans is reported
from the Rong Valley, and, although
the British communications in the rear
are still open, the mission is practically
besieged. England har just emerged
from a long, bloody and costly war with
the Beers which severely taxed her
strength and resources. The trouble with
the Thibetans may also be prolonged
and cost England many millions Of
pounds and innumerable lives before
the little country can be made to SUBJ
NIT to the British.

discovery prove success, its beneficial

New York, May l4.-l1 a. m.-The
stock market today was irregular on
only a moderate volume of business.
Efforts to depress prices were in evidence
and met with moderate success. There
was little Conference in the specula-
ton, however, and the liquidation which
took place was largely of scattering
and professional character. Support ap-
peared to be extended only on conces-
sions outside of the especially manipu
lated stocks.

The FIRST democratic primary cleo
ton since the adoption of the new con-
stitution will be held in this city on Mon
dav next As candidates for Mayor, AL
dermen and Common Councilmen are to
be selected. As is often said ON such &C.
casions by those having the interests. OF
the party at heart, it is hoped the affair
will pass offquietly and devoid offriction'
There are really no vital issues to be con-
sidered. Candidates for Mayor need
no introduction to the voters of the city.
They are both good democrats, and the
choice lies between the two-only this
and nothing more. The candidates ior
the two branches of the City Council are
also well-known citizens. Twenty-foui
are TO be selected from the list.
1t is for the intelligent voter to
exercise good judgment in his selec-
tons. As there are rival candidates IN
the field and as but twenty-four can be
chosen, it is hoped that those whose
services may be declined will show no
resentment. There is no material issue
between the several candidates, although
some persist in handling rag babies. 1t
is safe to say that those who may be
selected will do all possible for the city's
good, while there is every reason to be-
lieve that those whose services will not
be needed would be equally as jealous
had they the opportunity.
