MOB AFTER OFFICER
WANT REVENGE FOR DEATH OF
 ESCAPING CONVICT.
WAS BElNG HELD FOR INVESTIGATION
Suspected of Having Some Knowledge of the HoIdup of the North
 Coast Limited.

Butte, Mont--Patrol Driver Charles Jackson shot and killed Harry Cole while the latter was attempting 5000, led by brothers of Cole, made an intellectual attempt to lynch De tective Charles McGarvey, the crowd laboring under the impression that it was that officer who had done the shooting. Cole had been arrested by McGarvey on a forgery charge and was suspected of being one of the two bandits who, several days ago, held up the North Coast Limited on the Northern Pacific at Welch's Spur, murdering Engineer Frank Glow ant wounding Fireman Thomas Sullivan. Cole is brother of George Cole, who is now serving a 14-year sentence in the Deer Lodge penitentiary for the robbery of the Burlington flyer near this city two years ago. Harry Cole has been under surveillance of the officers since the holdup of the North Coast Limited, and Friday evening was taken into custody by officers.
 
 office of police, Cole, it is stated, definitely said that he knew all about the holdup of the limited and made a dash from the room and ran down an alley leading from the police station. An officer started for Cole, but tripped over the threshold of the door and fell McGarvey followed and fell over the other policeman. Patrol Driver Jackson, seeing that Cole was about to escape, fired and hit the fleeing man in the back, killing him almost instantly. An immense crowd imme- diately gathered and the impression gaining ground that McGaryey had cry went up, Hang McGarvey." Tim othy Cole and another brother and a cousin of the dead man took the lead ership of the mob and, with more than 2,000 men, hastened to the county jail, where they thought McGarvey was hiding. They attempted to force their way through the line of officers with drawn guns. Inside the jail were more officers armed with rifles. The mob secured long rope from a der rick used in the construction of a building nearby and the shout was made to down the officers.
 At this point Deputy Sheriff Jack Wyman stopped the leaders of the mob and told them that McGarvey had left the jail and that they were welcome to search the jail. This was done, no trace of the detective being found.
 The mob leaders declared, how ever, they would have the life of the slayer of Cole and if an attempt IS made to raid the city or county jails, blood will be spilled judging from the temper of the officers.

THEATER AUDIENCE BECOMES FIX.
 CITED AT FIRE ALARM.
M0N0L0GiST STOPS TIE TURMOIL
Blaze in the Wholesale District in Kansas City Causes an Estnat-
 ed Loss of $2Co,ooo.

Kansas City, Mo.--Fire in the wholesale district. that for a time threatened great destruction of prop erty, destroyed the fve-story building and contents at Nos. S12-S14 Broad way, occupied by the Goldstandt-Pow- ell Hat Co.,, causing a loss estimated at s200,00
 A panic was started at the Orpheum thaater, vaudeville house a block and a half distant, and several hundred of the 1,500 persons in the audience made a wild rush for exits. Fifteen were hurt before quiet was secured.
 The scene of the fire was in the heart of the wholesale district and within two blocks of the Coates house, one of the leading hostelries.
 The fire started shortly after 10 o'clock and practically all of the tire-fighting apparatus in the city was sent to the scene.
 Some of the theaters were just let ting out, and thousands of persons were soon gathered about the burning building. They served to hinder the work of the firemen and added to the excitement.
 A cry of fire made by people rush ing by the Orpheum, where the per formance was still going on, caused a panic among the audience there.
 The manager Of the theater made a fruitless effort to quiet the people, who soon were rushing pell mell for the exits. Many on the main floor quickly reached the street without causing injury to anyone.
 In the balcony and the gallery, how ever, 300 persons were soon blocked by a congestion on the narrow stair ways and women trampled upon one another in their mad haste to get out. Several women tainted.
 In the midst of the turmoil, Cliff Gordon, the monologist, appeared at the front of the stage. First he called loudly to the excited people to keep their seats, assuring them there was no danger, and then went through his act, adding a piece of impromptu wit here and there Soon he had the au- dience calmed and the performance continued.
 About fifteen persons received slight cuts and bruises. None are believed to have been seriously hurt.

NO ENTHUSIASM EXPRESSED.
The Irish Bill Does Not Seem tc Please Anyone.

London, Eng,-The United King dom has had one full day to digest Mr Birrelrs Irish bill, but not the small est note of enthusiasm for the pro posed council has been heard in any quarter. The proposed measure is rec ognized everywhere to be faint hearted attempt to redeem campaign promises. MT Balfour's taunt of MT. Birrell, that his heart was not in his work, seems to hit the mark. Ire land appears even less pleased than England.
 Irish legislation and the imperial conference appears to be stumbling blocks which may eventually cause the downfall of the Campbell-Banner- man cabinet.
 Both parties are attempting to ex- ploit the visiting colonial premiers for their own purposes. The opposition has taken up the catchword, The great refusal" for the governments rejection of all preferential schemes and the premier's promise to do some strong talking in the way of an ap- peal to public sentiment before leav- ing England.

LONDON YOUTHS WANT BEARDs.
1evuIsion Against Clean Shaven Faces
 Now Growing.

London.-Notwithst the ex. ample of the American whisker taxers and their admirers here, it is contend. ed that a revulsion against clean shaven face is gradually growing among fashionable Londoners.

 A fashionable hairdresser in Bond street said boards are slowly but cer tainly coming into favor among the young men desiring to be fashionable They have found boards, especially fair ones, harmonize excellently with g sunburned skin. The most fashion able cut is close chopped beard part ed in the middle, which gives distin guished appearance.

BLIND KEY OPERATOR
vELEGRApHER KEEPS FAMILY BY
 HIS SKILL.
Left Without a Father at Age of l2 He Learns to Send Out and Re ceive Messages and Becomes
 Highly Proficient.

Carmi. Ill.-Bhnd since birth, Gill bert Mcdonald, probably the most wonderful telegrapher in the world, lives at Maunie, little village on the Louisville & Nashville railroad, and earns a living for his widowed mother and three sisters. He is perhaps the only blind telegraph operator in the world, and can practice at the Key with as much deXterity as one not minus his eyes. Mcdonald IS 70 wears old and has been telegraph operator about ten years. Not unui recently, though, has he been recog' nized by the railroad and given per manent employment. He is now as sistant operator at Maunle ana also has charge of the Western union Telegraph company's office.
 Left without father at the age or 12. the blind lad was forced to assist his mother in making a living. lie was greatly handicapped by the JOSS of his eyesight, and many nelghoors sought to contribute to him through charitable motives. But the lad would have none of it, and worked at what ever he could find to do. lie solo papers on the streets, blacked shoes and ran errands.
 He finally drifted to the depot, and strong attachment grew between John w. Foster, agent at the nttle sta tion, and the blind lad. For hours the boy would sit and listen at the busy clickety-click of the wire. One day Foster asked him if he would Ike to learn telegraphy The reply was al, | firmative and the boy went to work. | In less than a. month he could send and in less than half a year ne was marvel at the key Each day he would CODY messages and take them home al night. There his sisters would teacn him their meaning. He soon became proficient on the typewriter and coulo take the fastest message that Wen1 over the wire with ease.
 Persisting in this unique schooling the boy learned the meaning of over 1000 words, knowing the spelling ano proper use of each He in time learaec to make change, sell tickets and we1gf | baggage. He became an object of in terest to railroad men, and the agent at Maunie employed him to assist hin with his work.
 One day when the agent was away the fast St. Louis mail and express flyer stopped at the station. Superin ttndent J. w. Logsdon stepped off ane ran Into the depot. He looked on 1T wonder as the blind boy sold tickets made change and answered questions as .reli apparently as one with eyes,
 As soon as MT. Logsdon returned home he interested the railroad of ficiais in the blind boy and Mcdonald was accordingly sent to the state blind school at Jacksonville. While there he distinguished himself by rapid progress. He remained but few months and returned to work al his post at Maunie.
 Mcdonald is one of the speediest operators in the west. When the | Shawnetown flood threatened to sub merge the town last January he was ordered to assist the Western Unior operator in handling press specials The sender has to read the copy t6 "Gib,'' as the railroad men call him and he gets it on the wire almost as | fast as it is read.
