Springfield, Aug. 17.-One more vic
tim was added to the death list of the
Springfield mob tonight when G. w.
Scott succumbed to a gun shot wound
in the lungs, received Friday night.
Scott's death brings the total TO six
and is the fourth directly chargeab!e
to disordes in the black belt near
Twelfth and Madison streets. 1t was
here that the hunted negroes made
their stand, firing upon the heads of
the mob from windows and roofs.
Another death is expected momen-
tarily. M. II. Bowe, chief clerk in the
county treasurer's office and one of
the most popular citizens of Spring

wait until the troops go" is the
word passed around town and in
reorganization of the strength of this
undercurrent, the state, city and cOun-
ty officials are taxing every effort to
turn public opinion toward law and
order. To that end Governor Deneen
has been in conference with officials
of various civic bodies. including the
Chamber of Commerce, the Spring
field Bar association and the
Evangelical Ministers association.
Evidence is not lacking that many
citizens who were known to have i'm
portant testimony regarding the mob
and its leaders have been deferred
from offering this to the states attor-
nev because of threats of violence
made against them anonymously.
TIE gathering of evidence began

clothes were sent to search the houses

result the police station looked like

interst than the formal arraignment
ia the police court today Of Captain
Peter c. Hams. Jr. who shot and
killed William +. Annis, while his
brother, T. Jenkins Hans, held at
bay friends who sought TO prevent
the tragedy, was the evidence which
came into the hands of District Attor-
ney Darrin, bearing upon the motive
for the shooting
II was established that Captain
Hans and Annis were on such friend
ly terms that they went automobiling
together as recently as May % last. 1t
was also disclosed that there were

Hains and Mrs Annis. The police
records prove that the men We're mo-

ADnis was held in sl00 bail but he
only had $50, and the police We're
about to lock him up when Captain
Hains stepped forward and handed
the prisoner four $50 gold pieces, thus
obtaining his release.

and possibly less. In estimating the
value CT the coal deposits. the COM
mission made no explorations of its
own, and relied mainly on public
documents and the testimony of such
coal operators as could be induced to
attend its hearings.
One estimate of the deposits was
00,000.000 tons, which, at the pres
ent rate, would require several hun
dred years of mining to be put on the
market. Carl Scholz. manager OF the
mining properties OF the Rock. Island
Railroad Company. fixed the coal val
ues at Sc, 500 900, and the value of the
surface lands at $3.600,0O0. making a
total of approximately $9.000,000

quoted as saying that the lands were
worth anywhere between IS and SAC

trolled by the state the price of Goa
would be reduced one-third, the com
mission believes. This would increase
the demand for coal. The commission
has reliable information tbet the cost
OF mining coal in the Indian Terri
tory district is from $1.25 tc not ex
ceeding 81 ton. and that state owner
ship would put the best quality of Goa

The Divorce Mill is Profitable.

$500. the state OF South Dakota last
year took in $4S0.000 for granting the
800 divorces to nonresidents.
While 1907 was decidedly bearish in
the divorce trade. owing to the agita-
tion in the state for repeal of the law, II
the income for the last year is taken as
an average. South Dakota has realized
$5,000000 from her divorce mill in the
last decade.
This really is low estimate, for
most OF those who come to South Da-
kota to be freed of chafing matrimon-
ial ties are liberal spenders of money.
Merchants send special orders for
high-grade goods in anticipation of the
divorce patronage. hotels fit up whole
suites of rooms In the best of trap

while 1t is a regular business to fur
nish houses and rent them to unhappy
wives for from SIS to 800 a month.

FINGER NAILS ARE ADORNED.
Landscapes and Portraits Sketched
with Indelible Ink.


Philadelphia.-Wan Bang of China
town has undoubtedly the most artis-
tic finger nails in Philadelphia They
are long and pointy, and each nail is
ornamented with miniature picture
of his native country. His thumbnail,
being the largest, bears a remarkably
good portrait of himself.
Wang drew the pictures many
years ago with India ink and uses
composition which keeps them from
wearing out. He used an extremely
fine needle to draw the sketches, and
they will perhaps last for life. Wang
trims his nails so that they will make
fitting framework for the pictures.
A number of other Cinnamon In the
city tried the same finger decoration,
but they had to give it up as a hope
less task. Wang Bang. despite his
noisy name. is quiet Chinaman, and
he will not give away the secret which
enabled him to landscape" his nails.
Incidentally he earns comfortable
living by painting oil portraits.
He carries his Studio" with him
and works in different nelghborhood
every day.
