that the present bellgerents will suddenly
turn friends. Japan, with the increasing
possibility Of winning the position Of pre-
dominant power in the Far East, Is hardly
likely to divide her prestige with such an
interloper as Germany would be.
Under these circumstances there was mo-
ment this week when the relations between
Great Britain and Russia assumed the
aspect OF the gravest orisi,. The CON-
demnation OF food on the steamer Calchas
as contraband raised an issue upon which
Great Britain had declared she would never

throughout the country.
1t is no secret that the British Govern

treme action had this decision not been
promptly repudiated Russia's complete
abandonment OF her position regarding
food as contraband has averted war and
considerably modified popular resentment
against her in this country.

THIEVES KILL A MAYOR.
Went to the Assistance OF the Town Marshal,
Who Arrested Two Men.

THOMSON, ILL.,. Sept. lY-This village
was thrown into great excitement this
morning at 10 o'clock by two robbers,
who subsequently gave their names as
John Thompson and William Myers. They
shot and instantly killed Mayor V. s. Ben
nett. The men, after a long chase, were
captured and lodged in the village jail,
where an angry mob soon collected, and
threats Of lynching were heard. The
mob lacked a leader to do violence.
The murder was the result Of robbing
Creno Geison's saloon at Chadwick early
this morning. The two men robbed the
place and then in true Chicago hold-up
style, drove at breakneck speed from the
village toward Thomson, eight miles dis
tant.
Marshal Matthews Of Thomson was
notified by telegraph to be on the lookout
for the robbers. A few minutes before
10 o'clock the marshal entered the only ga
loon in Thomson, where he found the two
men. Matthews hurried from the place
to secure assistance.
He found Mayor Bennett and together
they returned to the saloon. The marshal
placed the two men under arrest, but met
with considerable resistance and called to
the Mayor for help.
The Mayor had barely moved toward
the men when each pulled a revolver and
fired. Three bullets hit the Mayor In the
region OF the heart. The Mayor dropped to
the floor Of the saloon. Brandishing their
revolvers, the men broke away from the
marshal and hurried down the street.
The shooting was heard for several
blocks, and in an instant the crowd formed
a posse, and, headed by the marshal, they
gave pursuit to the fleeing man. The
men fired six shots into the crowd all with
out effect. The marshal kept firing and
shot Thompson in the leg, causing him to
surrender, while Myers continued his fight.
He was finally captured, and both men
we're lodged in the village Jail.
News of the murder spread rapidly, and
soon large crowd collected and threats
of lynching were freely made. It is be-
lieved the marshal will be able to pro-
teot the men until they can be removed
to the county jail at Sterling.

Judge Parker will take no direct part in
the management of affairs at headquarters,
he has been persuaded that his presence
here for day or 80 each week will help to
give added life to his campaign.
Another circumstance which has in
duced him to determine upon this plan is
that when the pressure of campaign work

tains at headquarters to give up whole
day to travelling to Esopus to consult
with him from time to time. The suite OF
rooms which Judge Parker, occupied this

During the severe local thunderstorm in Montgomery late Sunday afternoon, the wind reached a velocity of forty-niIle miles Der hour from the west, and for a short while the weather clemens seemed to verge very closely towards forming a tornado.
 Lightning struck the two-story frame residence of Mrs. J. F. Harwel. - Pleasant Avenue. tearing large hole II tine roof on the north side of the house and entailing considerable damage. X gable was turned upside down, a brick chimney was struck ana the loose brichs fell through the hole in tho roof to lh.s room below covering the floor and fur niture and leaving the room exposed to the driving rain.
 A telephone alarm was sent in to the Fire Department at 5:10 o'clock, and the flremen answered 1t as qRickly as the slippery streets would permit. There was no fire to be found when the fireme Il arrived on the scene.
 The house is comparatively new structure. It is probable that an entire new roof will have to be put on the house, which is owned by the Wilson estate.
 At o'clock the fire company at Fi!e Points was called to 730 Goode Street 90
  which had caught from lightning.
 The high wind accompanied a severe thunderstorm which developed to t;!e west of the city about D. m It swept in rapidly. with a deluge of rain, rat ting of hail and almost blinding in- cessant flashes of lightning. The light ning was very close to the ground du-- ing most of the storm. The hail was about the size of peas and lasted but q few minutes.
 While the total rainfall was not great. 1t came down so hard for while that streets and crossings were flooded in many places. The high wind lasted but few minutes, and did no serious dahl- age, though the thunderstorm continued for several hours.
 E Limbs were twisted from trees and there was some interference with the tel ephon eservice, due to tanRling of wores.
 Near Highland Park some damage was done to, three houses in course of COZ struction and chimney on the Ci$y Hall crumble1 before the force of the wind.
