RACE WAR SIT
UATION IMPROVES
Governor Decides That Two Regiments
Can Be Spared and They Have
Left the Scene.
ALARMS CONTINUE BUT NO TROUBLE
Forced Flight Of $50 Negroes From Corn
Fields TO State Arsenal Kept Militia
Busy During Morning Hours.

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. IS. That the
race war situation in this city is con-
sidered much less serious was evidenced
tonight when Governor Deneen issued
orders for the return of the First and
Fourth regiments which will take trains
for their home tomorrow. There were
the usual baseless alarms tonight, but
up to midnight nothing of a serious
nature had transpired. Deputy sheriffs
reported an entire absence of trouble or
excitement at the Lordside coal mine,
where white miners refused to work
with negroes. Some nervousness was
reported as existing further out at the
Iuxhorn mine but there was no clash.
An attack upon pickets and forced
flight of $50 negroes from corn fields on
the outskirts of the city to the state
arsenal kept the militia busy this
morning.
The firing upon sentries and their
answering shots occurred less than two
blocks from the headquarters of General
Young at the county Jail. No one was
injured in the affray but flying bullets
from the militia carbines caused con-
sternation to the district.
The trouble followed an attempt to
set fire to a factory building. The
clearing out of the corn fields south
east of the city where negro refugees
had camped, was the result of success
sive nights of terror in Harvard Park.
The exodus of the negroes from
Springfield seems to be permanent.
There are still few scattered colored
families in the few blocks guarded by
the soldiers, but they, for the most
part, are women, children and aged
men, The younger and middleaged
are few in number. Governor De-
mems proclamation asking that all
negroes return to Springfield and not
enter other cities seems of no avail.
Hotels are devoid of negro porters.

LATEST SHINE OF THE OLD SUN.
Baltimore Newsp per Furnishes A Po-
liticaI Sensation

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE political
sensation In Washington this week has
been the editorial announcement of the
baltimore Sun that it believes the cleo
ton OF William H. Taft to the presi-
dency will be to the best interests of
the country. 1t is the most sensational
Hop" that has been produced bv sew
eral national campaigns.
Inc Sun paper" as every Marv-
lander terms 1t, has had tremendous in
huence in the past. 1t becomes of ab-
soroIng interest, therefore, TO deter
mine how much of its influence it will
carry into the Taft camp. The Sun has
been one of the oldest and most stable
Democratic organs of the country. and
US oetectlon from the Democratic party
Is OF much more moment than would be
the change IN party allegiance of one of
tne mercurlal New York papers. Much
has been said and written of the power
of the press, but seldom has there been
so splendid an opportunity to test that
power as the course of the Baltimore
Sun affords.
The Suns DETECTION leaves the De-
mocracy of Maryland without single
party organ in Baltimore to plead the
cause OF Mr.. Bryan, and the Republi-
cans are Jubilant, declaring the Suns
Hop, assures the electoral vote of
Maryland for Taft. Claiming MARYLAND
now as assuredly Republican, that party
IS looking for opportunities in other
southern states. They claim the in
tiuence of the Sun will not be confined
to Maryland, but that it will extend
over all the southern territory. Espec-
tally in Tennessee and North Carolina
are they looking for results. The Sun
goes very extensively into both states.
but this Is not the thing upon which the
Republican managers are counting.
News of the Suns flop" of course.
VIII be published everywhere. and it is
the moral effect of the mere announce
ment, to which the Republican mana
gers look for the garnering of votes.

upon missionary work, to which he has
decided to consecrate his life.
A young son of Fayette Rose, of In
man, in Wise county, suffered serious
injuries Saturday from. a limb falling
out of tree in which he had made a
swing. The limb first struck the lad in
the corner of the left eye and ploughed
downward tearing out a "v'' shaped
piece of flesh about two inches long. It
is believed by the attending physician
that the eye may be saved. Nine
stitches were necessary to sew up the
wound.
Business is reviving with a rush all
along the Clinch. The Toms Creek
coal operation, employing normally
5000 men, and the largest coal and coke
plant in Southwest Virginia, has re-
covered from the effects of the financial
stringency and is firing up their idle
coke ovens as rapidly as it is possible to
get men enough to operate and suRplv
them with coal. Within two weeks
there will not be a cold oven on Toms
Creek and $500 additional men will be
returned to work.

on one occasion.
1t was at the close of missionary
sermon that Mr. Budd. whose wont it
was to contribute 10 cents to each of

the church subscribed, was seen to
take blue slip from his pocket and
look ut 1t keenly and affectionately.
When after slight but evident hest

folded, into the box Deacon Lane, who
was passing it, could hardly refrain
from an exclamation Of joy.

ON a final inspection of the bills. Three
hundred dollars to a quartet of trained
musicians. How can anybody have
given concert already in my house
when no one is living there?'
'They We're testing the acoustics Of

every room in your house has been
submitted to that test. There will be
plenty of music there later on. and
certainly wouldn't want to finish the
house without being sure that the
