WITNESSES GET WEAK KNEED
Utterly Failed, When Called Upon,
To Recognize Leaders of
The Mob.
First Cavalry Ordered Homc--Only
one Regiment Now on Guard
Rioting May he Renewed.

Springfield, H.. Aug 20.-Today the
First cavalry was ordered to leave
Springfield tomorrow morning. Only
,he seventh infantry will then be
here on guard duty.
The local authorities begin today
he task of overcoming the handicap
on their efforts to fix responsibility for
ihe recent riot, imposed by the failure
of the corOner's inquest to hold any
one responsible for the death of Scott
Burton, the negro lynched in the
'black belt" last Friday night. The
open verdict of the coroners jury was
blow to the hopes of the states at
iorpey and other officials who saw the
Cuirmation of the suspicion that wit
reSes TO the rioting would fail to
rNgnize leaders of the mob when
called upon to testify in public pro-
cseiings. OF the four witnesses upon
| whom Coroner Woodruff had depend
| ID for the success at the riot in
quest only one appeared on the stand.
That witness displayed an unusually
poor memory when confronted With
incisye questions and the absence of
the other three made the coroner's
task futile.
The grand jury went ahead with it's
| Investigation today, but there was
considerably less enthusiasm regarding
rs work than was displayed two days
sgo.

FOR HEALTH AND BEAUTY
Editor Daily Alaskan:

Editor Daily Alaskan:
 For something like four years l have been advocating the dressing up of this town more especially the clearing of the streams. The inspection of the streams of the city comes under my duty az health officer and assure you they need looking after from that standpoint alone, The city last year spent as much as $50 by way of clearing away debris, such as clogs their flow to the forming Of collections of dlsease-breeding matter. The amount was inadequate. deem 1t to be the duty of the city to clear up the streams to the extent of permitting their free flow. This would go far to- ward beautityIng them. Other work by way of adding to their natural beauty might then be accomplished by con- certed movement of citizens. I am heartily in favor of 1t and believe such a movement as seems to be indicated In your editorials would rebound vastly to our credit as city and as individuals.
 Sincerely
 Health Officer.

THE NEED, FIRST AND SECOND

The committee on territories has shelved the railroad bill for lack of in formation as to it's ueed-the need of the railroad ip the first place and the need of government assistance in tho second place. This. is the good old story. No such questions were asked when it was proposed to open up the juugles of the Philippines-nOt that they are not emiuently proper questions when asked in good faith. The mem bers of the committee are of course ig- moran. of the conditions in this far coun- try-it is expected of them that they be ignorant to a reasonable extent though there are things they ought to know which most Of them do not know. They cannot be expected to know the warm pulse of the people who live in coun- try originally peopled by fur-clsd eskI mos. They ought to know, however, that for the little development work tha, has been done. the results in pro duct and revenue to the government is out of all proportion.
 Hardy American citizens have gone into every quarter of this vast wilder ness and reported it's availability for supporting population.
 The term of their isolation from the world, which they have endured and are williug to further endure, the people want to have reduced as far as possible aud they believe this should be seriously considered in their be- half by a government which fines them so heavily in the form Of licenses and taxes for the privilege of being here and flchiug from nature, in hand to hand contest, their livelihood.
 To the average Aloskan this matter of the NEED ot a railroad 6rst and of the government aid second is very simple business. Uncle Sam has here 8 great empire. What does he propose doing with it? Americans have demonstrated it's vast and unusual value. Are we to go along in the same quasi crimlnslly slow method Of years gone by tn bringing, this wilderness under subiuSstIon? By making the country more readily available for the support of great population the revenues will be in- creased in rapid proportion. It is asserted by experts that the revenues now exacted will practically pay the interest for which the general govern nent Is asked to lay itself liable. With such consideration Alaska feels that it has right to ask of the gov ernmeut aid which it has extended for the same purpose to other sections of it's domaiu-the great west when it was deemed an impossible desert, and to newly acquired alien islands.
 The people Of Alaska, after watching the impo.eut misdirection Ot effort by private railroad corporations for several years and waiting with patience upon some practical assurance of good faith. have given over expecting anything but promises from these sources and turn to the government for realization of their desires. Alaska wants railway built as quickly as is possible from tideWater to river connection with the interior, and, because she has demonstrated her deserts, should be granted this re- quest.

CHAPTER xxxlII.

Riverton, less provincial than Green
vale, was village OF some two thou.
sand inhabitants. A few brick blocks.
with less pretentious wooden build
ings, formed nucleus of stores. A
brownystone bank, four churches, two
hotels, the Quaboag house and the
Astor house were intermingled among
these, and d railroad with two trains
IN each direction day added life and
interest to the place. Each Of the ho-
tells sent conveyance to meet every
train, with loud.voiced emissary to
announce the fact OF free transporta.
tion. In each hosteiry bar fiourished
and like rival clubs. each had Its after
noon and evening gathering Of loafers
who snapped yarns and gossip,
smoked and chewed necessarily, and
establishments. Three times daily, nj
meal hours, each OF the rival landlords
. banged a discordant gong in his front
doorway, without apparent result.
At about III in the forenoon each
weekday In SUMMER, Uncle Joe Barnes
on his numbering two-horse stage, ar.
rived from Greenvaie, paused at the
post office, threw of mail-pouch.
thence around to the Quaboag house

two be was ready for the return trip
and mounting his lofty seat. he again
drove to the front Of the hotel, shout
ing "All aboard" dismonnted TO assist
lady passengers, but let masculine
ones do their own climbing. and after
hating to receive mailbag, again
departed on his return trip.
"A certain monotonous regularity was
apparent in every move and every act
and function Of village life In River
ton. At precisely seven O'Clock each
morning the two landlords appeared
simultaneously and banged their
gongs. At IL and six. this was repeat
