New Orleans, July 1.-THE work OF
a remarkable city housekeeping party
which placed $50 negro men and WON
en- on board a passenger train at Lake
Charles, La, and shipped them out OF
the town and parish is told in the dis
patches to this place. They were
placed on the same train with the
body of a negro who last week shot
and killed the city marshal of Ken
nings. La, and who subsequently died
in Jail at Lake Charles from wounds
received while attempting to avoid ar
rest. Shortly before midnight the
negro tenderloin, known as the Hole
in the WALL" was invaded by several
hundred white men, including some
members of the state militia on their
way to the United States encampment.
The dispatch says:
House after house was visited and
the inmates not even being given time
to dress, were taken out and turned
over to a guard. The motley group
was marched under guard of pistols to
a water tank about a mile from town,
a passenger train was stopped and
the negroes put aboard and their fare
paid as far as the parish line, mem
bers of the guard riding that far with
them. Some of the negro women were
shipped away in their night dresses"

Seven Children Drown.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa.-Eight children

then the next girl rushed after her and
so they kept trying to save each other
until all except Ruth Klersey had

EGGS Contain . Poison.

Paragraphs have been extensively
published In the daily papers dealing
with the researches Of M. Loisel, OF
Paris, on the recurrence Of poisonous
principles in eggs. 1t seems that the
yolk of the eggs of hens, ducks and
tortoises contain a poison which, IL In
jected into the veins or otherwise in
oculated into the animal body, causes
death from its effects on tho nervous
system. The white Of the tertoisss
egg also contains a toxic substance
Why eggs are not POISONOUS n ordl-
narily used or even when eaten raw
may be explained On the ground that
the action Of digestion alters tho COM
position Of the egg or at least modides
It 90 that Ill effects are avoided In
deed, 1t is easy to show that certain
foods at particular stage Of digestion
are "poisons." It Is the action Of the
liver on such foods which Eubs than
q their power to Do harm.

KILLED HER BROTHER,
Esther Mitchell Shot Him in Depot at
Seattle


Seattle.
Esther Mitchell shot and instantly
killed her brother, George Mitchell, al
Seattle last Thursday afternoon in the
waiting room of the Union depot. The
shot was fired just as Mitchell rose to
take the evening train for Oregon. The
brother, who was acuitted only the
Tuesday before of Staying Franz Ed.
mund Creffield, the leader of the holy
rollers" dropped in his his tracks.
Esther Mitchell was at once arrested
The Mitchells, George, Perry and
Fred, we're sitting with Esther on a
bench in the big waiting room, talking
together and apparently on the best of
terms. When the Oregon train was
announced, George Mitchell rose and
started forward. His sister stepped to
his side and pressing the revolver close
to his head. pulled the trigger before
anyone had realized what was happen
ing.
Esther Mithcell is the sister to avenge
whose alleged i'll treatment George shot
Creffield. She has refused to have any
thing to do with her brother since the
shooting. Thursday was the first time
time they have been seen together on
good terms.
Esther Mitchell made the following
statement:
MRS. Cretfield and talked over the
matter of killing George. The one that
had the best chance was to do it. Mrs.
Creffield bought the gun.
We were at the room about 4 O'Clock
during the afternoon and l thought
that would have a better chance to do
it than Mrs. Creffield gave me the gun
and was to do it. We agreed that it
was to be done as soon as possible.
Mrs Crefield had been out once or
twice looking for George and if she had
got the chance she would have done it
and l would have done the same. The
first that got chance was to do it. 1
would have done it before if 1 had got
a chance.
Esterh Mitchell is the Is year old
girl for whom her brother George shed
the blood of Franz Edmund Creffield,
when he shot down the leader of the
SO called holy rollers" in Seattle, May
z. 1t was because of her alleged ruin
by the fanatical leader that Mitchell
too life and risked his own, and the
cold blooded murder of George Mitchell
is his reward.
