An Odd Proposal.

Recently the Topeka Mail and
Breeze offered a prize for the oldest
instance of popping the question. T"
The prize was won by Miss Fanny r,
Brevard, of Abilene. She locates her
story in western Kansas settlemea.
A large family lived in very small
house. In one corner Of the single
room the old folks had their bed, aEd
above it was swinging bed attach ed
to the rafters that was occupied by
the boys. Miss Brevard completes
the story as follows:
"On this particular cvcninga neigh.
boris girl, who was also the Oldest
boys sweetheart, was there visiting
the girls, and she stayed all night
with them. With games and songs
and lots Of laughing and talking the
evening soon passed and bedtime
came.
"Miss Jessie being their compan
the girls gave her the front of the
bed aud there was one small gir
who slept with the older girls and
Jessie.
''The boys went to bed above, and
Of course the Oldest slept on the front
side. Soon all were quiet, and tho
anxious lover, supposipg all, or near
ly all, in slumber, stuck his head
out over his berth: Jessie, arc you
sleep?'
No, was the whispered answer
"'Will you be mad, Jessie, If l ash
you something?'
"Jessie, guessing what he wanted
TO say, answered again, telling him t
be quiet, for Tillie, his little sister
was awake.
"But the anxious lover didn't hear
and nos waiting to find out whethe
his lady love would be mad or not
asked: will you marry me?'
"And fearing that he would awak
all the house if not assured, JESSIE
answered: 'Yes,' even if some it'll

Periodically come unsophissioatcd
Epglishman rises 40 remark that il is

WeILs And Syringe.

Springs are fountains or streams of
water flowing out Of the earth and fed
by rain on high lands. The source of
spring or we'll is often far distant
from where the water rises to the sur
ace. The greater part of the rain that
| falls sinks into the ground and appa-
rently disappears, while some of it
| flows into rivers ur streams and works
it's way to the sea. The water that
sinks into the ground filters through

MISSISSIPPI MOB THwARTED.
Governor Prevented Lynching
Negro at Jackson Yesterday.

A dispatch from Jackson, Miss, says
that through the efforts OF Gov. varda-
man and other citizens OF Jackson an
angry mob was prevented from lynching
the negro Stewart Johnson, who u
charged with criminal assault Thursday
night upon Miss Mamie Marsh, a young
white woman Of that city. AS Miss Marsh
was on her way home. about one block
from the state house, she was seized by
the negro, dragged into the yard of q
residence, beaten into insensibility and
assaulted. Two hours later q young man
passing the yard heard her grooming and
found her almost dead. He carried her TO
her house.
When Stewart was arrested yesterday.
after a strict search of hundreds Of mon
throughout the city, his clothes were
bloody and he bore other evidences OF
having been in a struggle. His mother
and sister told conflicting stories In re-
gard to the whereabouts OF the negro At
the hour of the assault. His shoes were
placed in the tracks where the assault
was committed and they fitted exactly.
Later the police discovered young
negro named Jake Turnbull. about four
teen years Of age. who says that he was
on the other side Of the street when the
assault was committed He was taken TO
the jail and claimed to have identified
the negro johnson as the one who COM
mitted the assault.
Last night crowds began to gather In
the uptown business district. and men
openly INDUCED In talks of iynching.
At a mass meeting OF the citizens OF the
city Gov. Vardaman announced the ap-
pointment OF Col R. J. Harding. former
sheriff OF the county, as the colonel OF .
regiment to be formed. A captain was
named for each ward In the city. they In
turn selecting the members OF their COM
pany Gov. vardaman addressed the meet
Ing and called on all the people OF the
city, both black and white. to help hunt
out the assatlaat.
Many citizens held q meeting yester-
day and pledged their support to the on
GERS OF the law to see that those arrested
for assault ON Miss Marsh are legally
dealt with. Mayor Wharton IL actively
directing the movements OF the police
department, and the governor IL In CLOSE
