When q Mob Formed at CHATTANOOGA
Tenn, Last Evening.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 21.-
Law and order won a signal victory
in Chattanooga last night when a
squad OF less than 100 policemen
backed by four companies of militia
held 2,400 to 1000 negroes in check,
preserved peace and prevented a
riot which might have resulted in
great loss of life. .-
With the exception of a small fus-
ilade of shots ON East Ninth street
in which two white men were shot
and the burning of a house on West
Ninth street, there were no further
disorders.
The funeral OF Ed Johnson, negro,
who was lynched, will occur without
trouble, but it is feared some out
break may occur after that. During
the day all manufacturing plants
closed because of the refusal of ne

Did Supreme Court Take Notice?

Washington, ID. c., March 21.-A
special meeting of the supreme court
was held at the home of Chief Justice
Fuller this morning, and the utmost
secrecy was preserved regarding the
session. 1t is assumed that the busi-
ness before the court was the lynch

Chattanooga. Such a session, held
during the recess of court, is almost

Confession by the Barber County IN
dex: 1t Is fortunate that editors do not
hear everything that is said about
them. If they did they would all be
nervous wrecks. During the past two
weeks we have heard of two different
individuals who told 1t around town
that they were going to literally chew
up the Weakling who pushes the pencil
on this religious weekly, but in each
case we did not hear of the threats
until the irate gentlemen had put dis
tance between this sanctum sane
forum and their respective places OF
abode, and hence we had no occasion
to suffer in either mind or body. Early
in life we contracted the habit of tell
ing the truth and sometimes 1t creeps
into the newspaper and creates
trouble.
A Sabetha woman, says the Herald,
has discovered the perfect guest. For
a week little girl has been visiting
her. The little girl has just gotten out
of school and is developing the house
keeping instincts. She begs to wash
and wipe the dishes all alone. Wants
to whip the eggs. peel the potatoes and
chop the meat; is delighted to put the
clean pillow slips on and change the
sheets to the bed; loves to wash and
dress the baby. Her only reward for
the labor is to be permitted to set the
table with the best china. For enter
tainrnent she is satisfied if allowed to
go barefooted, climb trees. run down
town on errands, or do the marketing.
The only treat in food for her is a dish
Of ice cream at a restaurant and plenty
Of bread and fresh strawberry jam
For real genuine excitement she visits
a nefghbor girl or mothers the baby.
The little girls hostess says that when
she wants to have a genuine rest and
vacation hereafter she will invite some
little ten-year-old girl to come and
visit her for two weeks.

CoLoNF1 sNoRT oPrNEs.

One of the characters who Is well
known to the political reporters around
Topeka is Colonel William Snort. Colonel
Snort does not enjoy a large acquaint-
ance over the state, however, because
many people refuse to recognize his
talents and ability But he does not be-
lieve in hiding his candle under a bns.,el
and consequently the political reporters
all know him. He makes 1t a point that
they shall. Whenever he comes to town
he sees to 1t that they interview him;
and whenever there is a vacancy in an
office he gets his name IN the ''mcn-
toned" class. But that's all. The peo-
pie know 50 little Of Hon. SHORTS ability
that he never gets out OF the also
rams in an election.
But Colonel Snort is long on opinions,
especially political opinions. and being
a keen observer he usually knows some
of the things that are going on in poll
ties. That is the reason he gets so
much good newspaper space. He visited
Holton recently and as a result the Sig
nal publishes the following;
.sCoI mel Bill Snort keeps pretty we'll
posted on the political situation. He
was in Topeka one day this week, re-
turning fun of late information and
other things. He called at the Signal
office, put his feet on our desk, and
delivered himself OF the following gos-
sip:

years. got scared at the array Of candi-
dates, and decided to let the legislature
elect the senator. Curtis probably has a
majority Of the hold-over senate at this
time. but with Benson, Bailey, Stubbs.
Campbell. Bristow, Murdock and the
rest hot on his trail, he may have trou-
bic holding his own in that body. No
body can tell what the new house
members will do. Judging from the
nominations already made. the Repub-
ieans are deciding to be represented by
about the same class Of local statesmen
that operated in the house two years
ago. Benson, the new senator, has a.
strong following among the plain COM
mon people, but I fail to find where he
has any strength among those who will
have votes in the legislature
Colonel Snort said the politicians In
Topeka were having a good deal Of fun
over the action OF certain candidates
for the legislature who send back their
railroad passes, accompanied by sassy
1SeteAs, Wu4cn somehow ma their way
into the home papers. In nearly every
case. the colonel said, the candidates
sent back the passes that they had the
least use for. For instance, a southern
Kansas statesman sent back his Union
Pacific transportation. while a candi-
date in northern Kansas sent back his
Frisco passes, each holding onto the
pasteboards that he needed in his busi-
ness. How is it that so many jays get
into the legislature? We are pleased to
note that If Frank Pomeroy of Jackson
county sent any of his passes back, he
did not give his letter to the newspa-
pers."
