FIERCE RACE RIOT.
Mob I'm Springfield, o., Negro Quar-.
ter Dispersed by Militia.

A white mob of several thousand
men attacked the negro quarter of
Springfield, O., known as 1.-The Jung
les" Tuesday night and state troops
had to be called out to quell the riot
ing. The outbreak was the result of
attacks on two white men, Martin
Davis and Earl Sulkins, by Preston
Ladd and Edward Dean, negroes.
For several hours, until after mid
night, the negro section was in a
state of terror, the police being pow
erless. The local militia was called
out by the mayor. but was slow to re-
spond.
At midnight, however, eighty men
assembled at the armory and were sent
out to reinforce the police. Tht lightly
militiamen and the police, however,
were unable to handle the mob, and it
was not until the arrival of two COM
panies from Dayton and one from
Xenia soon after midnight that the
mob could be handled. Then. with the
butts of their rifles and without firing
shot the soldiers pushed the mob
back both ways in Columbia street,
east from Water street and west from
Foster street.
When dawn came quiet had been re-
stosI in the negro section, with "the
JuHxes" still in charge of the militia.
No lives were lost in the riot. The re-
suit of the mob was the destruction of
six negro houses, one saloon and the
damaging of several others.
''The Jungles" is the name given to
East Columbia street, where q number
of notorious dives frequented by ne
groes and low whites are located. Six
or seven of these joints were wiped out
by the mob with the torch. The most
Infamous place was literally torn to
pieces and burned half down by the
rioters.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Famil.
lar to the Public.

How Its Appearance Became Famf1-
far to the Public.
The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather in
teresting.
AS the story goes the possessor of the
hand was with some friends in photo
grapher's one day and while talking,
held up piece of candy. The pose OF
the hand with its perfect contour and
faultless shape attracted the attention
of the artist who proposed to photo.
graph it. The result was a beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading a letter from some
one inquiring as to who wrote the Pos
tum and Grape Nuts advertisements,
Mr.. Post said to his wife, 1--WE receive
80 many inquiries Of this kind, that it
is evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture of your.
hand to print and name it "a Help,
ing Hand" (Mrs. Post has assisted
most famous advertisements.)
There was natural shrinking from
the publicity, but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture it's use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and pe-Nuts, so
the picture appeared on the back COW
ers of many of the January and Febru-
airy magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
it as probably the most perfect hand
in the world. .
The advertising department of the
Postum Co. did not seem able to resist
the temptation to enlist the curiosity
of the public, by refraining from Civ
ing the name of the owner when the
picture appeared, but stated that the
name would be given later in one Of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming advertise
ments to learn the name of the owner.
This combination of art and COM
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration of
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large man
ufacturers, whose names become house
hold words through extensive and con,
tinuous announcements in newspapers
and periodicals.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink PiIIs.

Brought to the very verge of starva-
ton by the rejection of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
covery of Mrs. j. a. Wyatt, of No. 1889
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat of the difficulty
and death must have resulted if she had
not pursued an independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: 81 had pain in the
region of the heart, palpitation and
shortness of breath so that could not
walk very fast. My head ached very
badly and I was seized with vomiting
spells whenever took any food. A doc
tor was called who pronounced. the
trouble gastritis, but he gave mo no re-
lief. Then tried second doctor with
out benefit. By this time / had become
very weak could not keep the most
delicate broth OH my stomach, and at
the end of a month l was scarcely moro
than skin and bone and was really starv-
ing to death.
"Then recalled how much benefit my
sister had got from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and decided to take them i'll placs
of the doctors medicine. 1t proved q
wise decision for they helped me as
nothing else had done. Soon could
take weak tea and crackers and steadily
more nourishment. In two weeks 1 was
able to leave my bed. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills were the only thing that
checked the vomiting and as soon as that
was stopped my other difficulties left me.
have a vigorous appetite now and am
able to attend to all the duties of my
home. 1 praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People to all my friends because
I am thoroughly convinced of their
merit"

WANTS CONCESSION.
Upton Will Ask N. Y. Y. c. to Permit
Him to Try Out Challenger.

Sir Thomas Upton, whose anxiety
to challenge again for the Americas
cup is We'll known. has made tho suc-
G"Stion to Il number of prominent
yachtsmcn on this side of the Atlantic
that in case he sees his way clear to
formal challenge. he would like to
secure 4 concession from tn" New YORK
Yacht Club. allowing him to build two
yachts. sail one against the other and
send the better boat against the de-
fender
He firmly believes he is justified in
ckinS this concession. Tho defending
side, az is we'll known has the rriyil
eye Of trying out its boats. but the
challenger must, under the deed Of gift
name the boat with the challenge.
Eachtsm"n in New York who have
discussed the matter informally seem
to agree with Sir Thomas that his d.
sire to obtain such a concession is Pr
fectly fair.
While no formal statement has been
made by Sir Thomas Upton that he
has any legitimate hopes If success in
this direction. the inference is that he
has sounded certain of the New York
Club officials and is not without rea-
sonable expectations that the question
may be raised at the proper time with
satisfaction to both sides.
