Who is John Johnson Why do the
people love him' Why did they elect
him governor by 10000 when the pem'
5crats have never been able to carry
the state before? Is there SOME magic
power for leadership Ia this son of a
village drsHsssrd who helped his good
mSsl.er with the washing? Is Colonel
Henry Watterson right in his belief
that John johnson has some of the
genius of Abraham Lincoln, and that
he may be the dark horse in the

A MUSICAL EVENT.
Piano Recital Given on Saturday
and Sunday Evenings in Wright
Hall Reception Rooms.

Last Saturday evening about seventy
invited guests from the city assembled in
the parlors of Wright Hall to listen to a
recital given by Miss Ransom, head of
the piano department. Mrs. St. John,
unfortunately, was called from the city a
few hours before fhe function occurred.
This somewhat marred the pleasure OF the
occasion but Miss Ransoms finished
technique and exquisite interpretations
were enjoyed to the full by her critical
audience.
Sunday evening at lunch the Students
were startled by the announcement that
they were all invited into the reception
room for an hour of music, with Miss
Ransom at the piano. This unexpected
infraction of the severe Sunday rules of
Alma's Presbyterian stronghold caused
several of tire young men to faint for JOY
but they recovered soon. A large num-
Der of students aocked into the large
reception hall aud listened with intense
eagerness to the music. Miss Ransom S
playing held her hearers, critical and
uncritical alike. in condition OF rapt
ecstacy until she ceased. After singing
one or two sacred songs the men returned
to Pioneer fervently hoping that some
such good fortune would fall their way
again in the future.-Almanian.

he appoint o commission to inquire into

Harris is to hang next Friday and it is
not likely that the eleventh hour efforts
on his behalf will IA him fl ON execu-

Columbia, March 22.-A "nervyssh hold
mp of apluoky Ohio man by two negro
highwaymen occurred at an early hour
this morning almost directly under an
arc. light, ss tho victim IVES walking
through Assembly street toward the
union station from the city hotel on
Mein street. The victim was M. M.
Hame;reth, an attorney of Long Run,
Ohio, who had stopped hero on his way
home from Florida aud Georgia, where
he had been on business for three
months.
After asking Ramslroth for q match
ono negro collared and threw him to the
ground, while the other not only rifed
his pockets, in which he found $37 in
cash, but stole Hamelreth's coat, cap and
shoes. This morning the treaohery of a
negro woman resulted In the arrest Of o
negro named Sam Wilson, who was
caught wearing Hamelreth's coat and
cap. There was evidence that Hamel-
roth put up q game fight at the time he
was arrested, and he chased the negroes
out of sight after they let him up. When
Hamelreth confronted Wilson at police
station he Immediately identified him
and attacked him. The police inter-
fered. The police think they have the
other negro located and will arrest him
shortly.
There have been over a score of such
hold-ups in this city within the year, but
practically all of them have been done by
white men, though on several occasions
negroes have found easy victims, the
police department being in a disorgan-
ICED condition.

Saved from Assault by Shepherd Dog.

Florence, Ala, March 24.-Cleveland
Harding, the negro who attempted to
assault Mrs. Ben f. Rice near here Fri
day and who was driven off by Mrs.
Rice's shepherd dog, was summarily exc
cuted to-day by q mob of 200 or 800 per-
sons Tied to a tree, with his arms up,
the negro was riddled with bullets, the
first shot, it is said, being fired by Rice,
following which every man in the crowd
emptied his revolver az the prisoner.
Over 1000 Shots were fired. The negro
was captured to-day half a mile below
town and was taken before Mrs. Rice,
who tainted at sight of him. Upon re-
covering she fully identified her assail-
ant and on being asked what should be
done with him, told the negroes captors
to do as they thought best. Harding
was taken a short distance from the Rice
home, where a conference of the mob
leaders was held Some said burn him,
but shooting was decided on.
Beyond contrasting his guilt, the negro
had nothing to say and was stolidly in
different, it seemed, to his fate. The
body was left tied to the tree by the mob,
members of which made no attempt to
shield their identity. The sheriff over
took the crowd before the lynching, but
his appeals were of no avail.
