in the hands Of the sheriff.
After the arrests the lynchers
became alarmed and left the
streets.
The Kansas City Star of the
10th, inst, contained the follow
ing:
Notwithstanding the presence
of the armed troops, the fact
that grand jury has been call
ed to indict the leaders of Satur-
day night, and that citizens
have decried the lynchings, the
streets are full of people today
who approved the work of the
mob and who damn all negroes
and advise that they be run out
of town. All danger of mob
violence has not passed. Hun
dreds of men openly curse and
jeer the soldiers. Hundred OPEN
ly threaten that if arrested the
people will arise and drive the
the militia from town as we'll as
negroes. Everywhere this threat
is made. ''This town is too
small for negroes and whites to
live in. One or the other must
CO."
An incident showing the feel
ing occurred near the court house
today, where hundreds of people
gathered. A negro leaning
against the court house, troops
nearby, made the remark: "Give
the colored men guns and we'll
show you."
A number of whites started to
close in on the negro when an
officer hustled the man into Jail.
In another minute he would
have been trampled to death.
Commenting on the lynching
Gov. Hagerman of New Mexico
said:
Such a lynching as took place
in Springfield under a statue of
liberty, with the police helpless,
could not have occurred in New
Mexico. Our mounted police
are men who would take no ac-
count Of the odds against them
in enforcing the law. 1t would
be a lasting disgrace to a sheriff
i'll the territory to have q prison
er taken from him by a mob, as
it is to have a prisoner escape"

OLD vEsUNUS' MAD HISTORY
The Destructive Old Volcano Has
a Bad Record and Her Work
May be in its Infancy.

The recent eruptions Of Vesu-
vius has caused the reproduction
of the old mounts mad history.
1t would seem that on account of
this history of destructiyness
that people would not venture to
build great cities at the very
feet Of this monster destroyer Of
human lives and property. But
the time between the destruc-
tive eruptions take in so many
years that generations pass away
and men in q manner forget.
Up to the time Of the present
eruption Vesuvius' history runs
as follows:

awful earthquake. Many thou
sands Of lives lost and hundreds
of millions dollars worth of prop
erty lost. For many years the
earth round about the city has
given evidence of some volcanic
disturbance. At last the terrible
shock came, and while it may
never happen again in that vicin-
ity, yet it will take many years
to rebuild the city.
San Francisco, April 49,
Earthquake and fire today have
put nearly half of San Francisco
in ruins. At least 20OO people
will have been killed, thous-
and others injured and the prop
erty loss will exceed one hum
dred million dollars.
Thousands of people are home
less and destitute, and all day
long streams Of people have been
fleeing from the stricken dis
tricts to places of safety. 1t was
5 :15 o'clock this a. III. when a
terrific earthquake shook the
whole city and surrounding
country.
One shock apparently lasted
two minutes, and there was al
most immediate collapse of finn
sy structures all over the city.
The water supply was cut off
and when the fires broke out in
various sections there was moth
ing to do but to let the buildings
burn.
Telegraph and telephone COM
munications were shut off for a
time.
The Western Union Telegraph
company was put completely out
of business, and the Postal COM
pany was the only one that man
aged to get wire in the city.
San Francisco, April 18.-The
heart of the business section of
San Francisco has been destroy
ed by fire.
An area of thickly covered
ground of eight square miles has
been burned over and there is
no telling when the fire will be
under control.
Mayor Schmitz was about early
and took measures for the relief
and protection of the city. Gen
eral Funston was communicated
with and by 8 o'clock 600 fed
eral soldiers were guarding the
streets and assisting the firemen
in dynamiting buildings.
General Funston realized that
stern measures were necessary
and gave orders that looters
were to be shot on sight. -Four
men were summarily executed
before 3 o'clock.

Republic.
TO COMMENCE WORK At ONCE
And Ready for 500 Patients by
August l, 1905.

Last Saturdays st. Louis Re-
public (April 14) printed the
statement that the great santa
rum for consumptives to be 10
Gated near here will be ready
for 500 patients by August /,
1906. Practically the same state
ment was also printed by the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. The ar
ticle by the Republic is as fol-
lows:
Work on the erection of the
$1OO,O National Cooperative
sanitarium for consumptives in
the foot hills of the Guadalupe
mountains (meaning no doubt
the Sacramento mountains) in
New Mexico, will begin May 1,
and three months later it will
be ready to receive about 800
patients.
The announcement that work
was soon to begin was made yes
terday by @. +. Hatfield, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Missouri
Fraternal Congress, after he had
received a telegram from W. r.
Edison, past president of the
Associated Fraternities of Amer
lea, who is one of the largest
stock holders in the movement.
He stated in his telegram that
the 100000 needed to build the
institution had been secured, in
addition to 1000 acres of land in
the southern portion of New
Mexico. The sanitarium will
likely be built near the city of
Alamogordo.
The establishment of a $780,
600 sanitarium is only the nucle-
us of a 100000 institution
which will be built during the
next few years, according to a
statement made Yesterday by
Mr.. Hatfield.
While the largest stockholders
in the sanitarium are members
Of fraternal organizations, it will
be conducted Independently.
Persons suffering from tubercu.
losis will be permitted to come
from all parts Of the United
States and will be charged only
about $40 per month for board,
lodging and medical attention,
The sanitarium will be CON-
posed Of small cottages and tents
located ON all parts of the 1900
acres of land. 1t will be SO ar.
ranged that consumptives may
sleep out i'll the night air, but,
at the same time, be protected
from the weather. Instead Of
being one gigantic building, il
will be a city of tents. The fact
that they will be separated from
each other, physicians say, will
be exceptionally beneficial.
The medical department will
be selected from all parts of the
United States.
