FOLK PROPOSES
 TO PUNISH LINCHERS.
The Governor of Missouri Takes
 Stand Against Mob Law,

Jefferson City, May IA. Gov. Folk has made the following statement concerning the negro lynching in southeast Missouri:
 No matter how deserving of death the negro may have been or how dastardly his crime, 1t was murder for the mob to hang him. Kidnapping is a capital offense in Missouri, but the exe- cution should be by law and not by a mob.
 It is just as much an offense in the eyes of the law for a mob to kill guilty person as 1t would be to lynch an innocent one. We must have government by law and not by mobs, and they who take part in such lawlessness do so at their peril.
 'The attorney general has been directed to investigate the mat ter and to assist the prosecuting attorney of the county in bring ing to justice those participating in this crime. Lynching cannot and will not be tolerated in Mis- souri.
 Kidnapping has been a capital offense in Missouri since 1901, the time of the Kidnapping of Gu dahy's child by Pat Grove at Omaha.

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mishnps a British Battieshtp TAas Caused Fear Among
 the Crew

While the British battleship Thur derer was off Milford Haven, Wales, not long ago a curious accident to one of her guns caused much alarm among her crew, A target had been put out for practice with the ten-inch breechloading guns, When one was fired by electricity only portion of the projectile was discharged, ths base plate of the shot and portion of the frame being left in the gun. When the pate was removed the pres- slre of gas forced q portion of the proiectile from the breech of the gun. On the second gun being fired a hole about three inches in diameter was blown through the projectile. the other part of the base plate being left behind The base plate was in this ease separated from the rest of the projectie.
 Such accidents are believed never previously to have occurred on board any ship. There was much alarm among those in the turret, as ths bursting of tbe guns was for time feared. It is suggested that either the powder in tie projectiles was damp or there was water in the gnns, So far as can be seen both gums are sound

Religious instruction in Schools.

Referring to the question of religious in
structon in the public schools, DR.. Parson
of the Church of the Reformation said yes
terday morning:
This contention over religious instruc-
ton in the public schools is all waste OF
time. The public school is not the place
for private instruction; and all religious
teaching has in it a kind of intimacy be-
tween teacher and scholar, something like
that which exists between parent and child.
This work cannot be delegated promis-
cuously, as would be the case if religion be-
came one of the subjects to be taught by
the public school teachers.
Most of US would resent the attempt to
instruct our children in religious matters
at the public expense by those whose spir-
itual qualifications were unknown to US,
or known to be defective. The entire mat
ter is best left were 1t is lest we lose what
we have. The Bible is now read in the
schools without note or comment. The new
proposal enters upon the doubtful course of
making comment and Interpretation. This
would be a mistaken step, in the judgment
of many. The dispute over it thus far
shows that it would be step backward"
