all over Virginia years ago to whip
persons convicted of petty crimes. A
uost was set in the Jail. yard and TO
this the offender was bound with MS
back barred. The brutality of the pun
ishment. however, caused a popular
outcry against it and the law was re-
pealed.
1t seems that there are a class of
uetty criminals who do not care for
short iail sentence. such as imposed
bv the law, nor do they care fcr few
days of public work, but who would
cease their meaness if they knew a
whipping was the penalty. But no
state has yet tried the whipping post
without abandoning it on account CT
the extreme brutality of many of the
officers whose duty it was to admins
ter the whipping.
Virginia may 60 back t. the whip
ping post, but the same cause which
caused the legislature to repeal the
law before will cause the legislature
to repeal it again.

SECOND PLACE CANDIDATES.

Right now there is much talk about
candidates for vice president On botn
the Democratic and Republican tickets.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
Roosevelt will head the Republican
ticket, hence the talk as to that ticket
Is as to whom will be nominated for
second place,
The Democrats are wholly at sea as
to a candidate for first place, and there
seems to be more talk about the sec
ond place right now than the first,
Indiana is pressing a candidate for
second place on both tickets, The
Democrats of that state are pressing
Representative Robert w. Miers of the
Second district of that state for the
nomination for vice president at St.
Louis. They believe that if an eastern
man is chosen for president the state
from which to take the candidate for
vice president is Indiana, especially
that Senator Fairbanks will be the
nominee of the Chicago convention for
vice president.
Judge Mers, his friends are urging,
is an old line Democrat with record
f>r regularity which Will be accepta-
BILE to all elements of the party. He
has carried lis district for four sue
cessiye terms and has the confidence
of the leaders not only in his own state
but elewhere Representative Robin
son of Indiana says that with Judge
ana being restored to the Democratic
column would be materially improved.
Republicans are seeking to persuade
Senate Fairbanks to be President
RoCsevelt's runnninfg mate because
they feel that his presence on the tick
ct will be distinct aid in carrying In
diana fer the Republican party. Con
servative Democrats. who for several
years past have not been in sympathy
with their party in national politics,
have said that, in their opinion, the
nomination of a conservative Indiana
Democrat for vice president by the st.
Louis conention would materially aid
the national ticket in that state They
are disposed to accept the current
stories that Fairbanks will be the Re
publican candidate fer vice president

CLEARS DIAMOND MYSTERY
Stones Found on Peoria Negro Had
Been Shipped to Travelling Man.

Peoria. Ill, Aug "a mystery con
corning the ownership Of several
thousands of dollars worth of dia-
monds found here in the hands of
negroes employed about a hotel, now
promises to be cleared. The police
arrested the parties in possession of
the stones, but they have been at lib
erty for some time, as there was no
case against them. Light on the case
comes in a dispatch from New York
which says:
"One of the leading diamond houses
of this city has reported to one of the
important detective agencies the loss
of diamonds TO the value of $4,000. Ev
cry effort is being made to conceal the
real facts in the case. and the name
of the firm has not yet been divulged.
These diamonds were expressed to
one of their travelling statesmen at Pc
oria. Ill, some weeks ago. The sales
man had. however. left the city be
fore the jewels reached there. They
were presumably forwarded to him.
and nothing was known of the robbery
until he returned to the house after a
Ions western trip. and reported that
he had never received the valuables.
intimatiOn has been received of Il dia-
mOnd robbery at Peoria. and it will be
investigated for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether these are the gems
belonging to the New York house.
