improbable thatthe negro, If he had

Wanted to Lynch Him.

Nelly Zimmerman ana George 6
Burke, the negroes who narrowly es-
capped lynching at the harfls Of an :ins
furiated mob, at Council Bluffs, Iowa,
were Wednesday taken to the state
penitentiary at Fort Madison, for
safekeeping. During the afternoon
the men were taken before Judge
Wheeler and waived preliminary ex
animation. The judge signed an order
for their removal. During the day
Sheriff Cousins learned Of an organiz-
cd Plan TO lyach Zimmerman end
Burke "Wednesday and again made a
request for company of militia to
guard the county Jail. Feeling against
the prisoners increased and during the
afternoon small groups of men gather
ed in the vicinity of the jail to discuss
the matter. Sheriff Cousins then de-
cided that the safer course was to re-
move the men from the city and ap-
piled for an order Of removal. Four
assaults within 1! week similar to those
made on Mrs. Sparks and her daugh-
ter had wrought up the working peo-
pie OF the city TO pitch of feyerish
excitement.

He Was Hounced.

When Mr.. U. B. Hammett was
made chief constable he issued an or
der that every constable whom he
found drunk would he discharged. A
diagreeable case was reported from
Charleston and the constable has been
fired. The man is named Hughes and
is a native Of Charleston. The charge
against him is that he fired his revol-
yer at a police officer. There was
some criticism in the Charleston pa
pers because the governor did not act
promptly, but this Mr.. Hammett
says was not deserved, for the chief
of thu Charleston district suspended
Hughes promptly, that being the
limit OF. IBIS powers. and as soon as Mr..
Hammett received Holmes official re-
port the suspension was approved
and Hughes was removed from the
force permanently.

from Indiana several requests for in
formation regarding the suffrage re-
quirements in the state. The trend
Of the letters indicates that the sub

school and college debates. Among
the points upon which information is
desired are: What per cent. Of the
taxes are paid by the negro popula-
tiOn; has there been any increase In
the appropriation for educational pur-
poses since the adoption Of the present
suffrage laws. The secretary OF etatr
gave to some Of the applicants such
information as could be obtained
without any great amount of research,
while others we're referred to Senator
Tillman's speech which was delivered
about two years ago In the senate.

TOO TIMID TO RUN AWAY.

In view Of the widespread interests
which the case has elcited and the
consequent demand for information on
the subject, a reporter Of The State
made another tour Of investigation
yesterday, in the course OF which he
again interviewed the boys mother and
made inquiries of Mr and Mrs Phillip
EpStin Of Gervais street who had en-
ployed the boy and the negro. Mrs.
Howell is one Of those persons who ac-
cept quietly the trials and sorrows and
other disQuieting influences Of life.
She believes the boy has been murder
ed and thinks the police should at
least find the negro. The boy has had
a running sore in his ear since he was
an infant, caused by case of measles
settling in his head, but though she
has never had this attended by a ply
Sician, because she feared stopping it
would prove injuriC us, she never had
any reason to suspect that this or any
thing else had affected his mind.
Though of violent temper at times,
he was timi6 boy who was always at
home when he was not at work, and
she cannot therefore accept the theory
that he has run away. He was afraid
to 20 to bed without light.
Mrs. Epstin also believes the boy
has been murdered, thought she does
not attach imp portance to the fact that
the axe was not returned, saying
Stephen was careless and Needless and
time or two before had left Mr.. Fps
tins axe In the wood. The boy being
extremely quick-tempered and. In
spite Of the reputation his mother
givos him for timidity, being easily
provoked to a fight, Mrs. Epstin's
belief is that in quarrel out In the
wood the negro struck the boy fatal
blow. Sac did not like the appearance
of the negro, who had insolently curl
ed his lip almost snarling at her when
she told him to come back FOR his mon
ey when he return ID with the wagon
