HANGS AND BURNS THREE.

! hlOLerS Not MASKED ana Leaders
Are Known.
Springfield, Mo-, April 10
Not satisfied by the hanging and
burning of two negroes charged
with assault upon a young woman,
a mob of three thousand men went
back to the county jail at 2.15
O'Clock this morning and took
William Allen, another negro. In
a like manner they hanged him to
the electric light tower in the cen
ter of the public square, his body
falling in a fire that had been re-
kindled over the cnarred remains
of the other victims of the mob's
fury.
Walter Copeland and Horace
Duncan were taken from the Jail
last night about 8 o'clock. They
had been arrested upon suspicion
of having assaulted Mabel Ed
mondson, white domestic. The
girl recently came to Springfield
from Monett, Mo-, and found EN-
ployment as a servant. She was
driving with young man in the
outskirts of the city when they
were attacked by two negroes.
The man was beaten into insensi-
bility and the girl was dragged
into the woods.
The mob gathered early in the
evening, going first to the city jail
and later to the county Jail. The
residence of Sheriff Horner, adj
joining the Jail, was stormed. The
lower floor o t the house was
wrecked and Mrs. Horner was 50
badly frightened that she tainted.
She is subject to heart disease, and
is said to be in critical condition
tonight. The Jail keys were pro-
cured and the two negroes taken
from their cell. In the excitement
fourteen other prisoners were al
lowed to escape.
The two victims we're led along
the main thoroughfare of the city, |
half a mile, to the public square,
which is the center of the business
section. Upon one side the square
faces the county courthouse of a
town of thirty thousand inhabi-
tants.
The negroes were hanged from
the band stand about the electric
light tower, which stands in the
center of the square. The band
stand is about fifteen feet from the
ground. The tower is made of
steel, about two hundred feet high
md is surmounted by the statue of
i woman. When the bodies were
big fire was built be-
leath them and they were burned
until they dropped into the flames.
Following the despatch of Dun
an and Copeland, someone sug-
rested that Allen and Bus Cain, !
wo other negroes known to be in
he Jail, also should be lynched.
The mob now bloodthirsty and
grought up to the highest pitch of ,
xcitement, readily took up the Y
ry. Cain had escaped when the /
rst victims were taken from the /
ail. Allen and Cain were being :

murdered O. P. Ruark. q

PARENT AND TEACHER.

|
by Prof J. B. Bond, Galveston, Tex.
Some one, somewhere, expressed
the thought that God could not
alone direct His children, so he
He created Mothers. Thus to them
fell the special duty of training
the child, but to them, too, fall
manifold duties of household, wife
hood, sisterhood, and motherhood;
they must needs look to another
source for assistance, and teachers
were created. Then as the popu-
lation increased, schools, colleges,
universities, a nd institutions of
various kinds followed in their or
der. From this point of view, it
is easy to see that close relation
exists between parents and teach.
ers.
Let parent an d teacher walk
hand in hand, talk face to face
with each other, for they must be
Co o-laborers in the holy work of
education. The parent cannot
throw off his share of guiding
Alright the young mind upon the
teacher; there must be CO. opera
tion of home and school. A teach.
er has the training of the child
during the most impressive period
of life. His personal influence is
felt seven hours day, five days
week, eight or ten months year.
His personality leaves its impress
upon his pupils. Your child is
the teachers now more than yours;
then the teacher, next to the moth.
er, is responsible for the ideals of
the young. There exists relation
between teacher and pupil. He is
making of your boy, your girl, a
man, a woman he is character
builder. His work is the finest of
the fine arts. While others make |
poetry, pictures, and songs, he
makes men and women-c charac. |
ter. The true teacher is an exam
pie of all that is ennobling, edify- |
ing and truth inspiring in the eyes
of the child. He is an ideal man
or woman. He stands for culture,
progress and humanity. Seek the
teachers acquaintance; visit him;
invite him to your home; make
nim your friend. He needs your
sympathy, your cooperation. His
interest is partly yours.
Then fall in with the teachers
plans; bring your children in rank;
lelp them with their lessons-it
viii help you as well as them.

REPAIRING BRAIN.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist,
physician, author or business man is
forced under pressure of modern condi-
tons to the active and sometimes over
active use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of pot
ash, as presented in certain field grains,
has an affinity for albumen and that Is
the only way gray matter in the brain
can be built. 1t will not answer to take
the crude phosphate of potash of the
drug shop, for nature rejects it. The
elemental mineral must be presented
through food directly from Natures
laboratory.
These facts have been made use of in
the manufacture of Grape-Nuts, and
any brain worker can prove the value
of the proper selection of food by max
Ing free use of Grape-Nuts for ten days
or two weeks. Sold by grocers every

brief speech by Senator Nelson, Sen
ator Tillman spoke at length in an
vidual judges that the power of grant
ing temporary injunctions by in
ferior United States courts should be
taken from them in interstate com
merce commission cases, and he was
followed by Senators Bacon, Bailey,

speaking Senator Tillman engaged in
controversy with Senator Spooner
in which the Wisconsin senator
characterized his adversary's refer
ence to him as indecent" and during
which Senator Tillman ordered Sen
ator Spooner to take his seat. Sena-
tor Bacon criticised the course of
Senator Tillman as calculated to
produce a false impression on the
country, and was in turn censured by
Senator Bailey, who held that while
the Office of judge is entitled to the
