should be passed which will commend Pres

taken. We should praise him in the er-
forts that he has made to curb the trusts
Of this country. No former President has
ever shown the ability along this line that

put Kansas in the first rank In our fair
state we have accomplished more in two

SHERiFF'S PLEA SAVED NEGRO.
Murderer in Hands of Mob Delivered to Officer Upon Promise of Speedy
 Trial.

Pine Bluff, Feb. 8.-Shelton Bean, a white man who was en- ployed in J. M. Gracie's store at Rob Roy, was shot and killed by Sherman Lovelett, negro, Wed- nesday afternoon about 4:3O o'clock, as a result of which a lynching was narrowly averted later in the evening.
 Deputy Sheriff c. M. Philpot hurried to Rob Roy last night and met a posse which had cap tured the negro and the lynching would have occurred in a few minutes if the officer had not prevailed on the crowd to deliver the prisoner to him, assuring them that a speedy trial would be secured.
 The killing appears to be a most atrocious murder and the citizens in the vicinity of Rob Roy were greatly stirred up. The white man was shot in the store as a result of a quarrel several days ago, and he expired about II o'clock last night, a ball from a winchester rifle hav- ing passed through his left breast.

In the first place those who know the gov ernor and who know Judge Wood can readily understand why they could not work togeth- CT.
