OVER 10000 WAYS
TO END ONES LIFE

LONDON, ENG, Aug. 27.-(SpeciaD
An English paper gives the follow
ing interesting article on the different
ways of death may come:
In 1890 an ingenious Frenchman
calculated that there were 1900 diff
ferent ways of getting of the earth.
estimate that the advance of civilaza-
ton and progress has now increased
the figure to $500. Statistics prove
that 1900 people die every year
through swallowing things such as
pins, needles, studs, buttons, pieces of
bone, unmasticated meat and false
teeth This is due to hurry.
In London alone there are 1900
street accidents per month These
accidents arise almost entirely from
the anxiety of the populace to get
there quick. There is no other reas-
on why cabs, motors, bicycles, carts,
tram cars, and parcel vans should go
dashing along, hurting pedestrians to
right and left, cutting off arms and
legs and filling the hospitals with
casualty cases.
In order to keep up with the de-
mand triumphant science is always
devising fresh apparatus to save time
anu dCCeleIdJe Speeu. axe 6l6CIIlC-
ity, for example You frequently read
in the papers that somebody has died
suddenly through touching a live
wire. Doctors all agree that this is
the quickest death ever invented. And
as electricity now plays SO large a
part in modern life it is satisfactory
to know that if any of us should hap
pen to come in contact with a live
wire there is no delay. We are hur-
ried off at top speed.
Statistics prove that home is a
dangerous place. Progress and the
desire to equip ourselves with conyen-
fences have undermined home with
deadly wires and pipes, gas that may
explode and boilers that may burst.
And, agreeable to the demand for
hurry, houses are now run up by the
merry builder at such speed that they
are capable of coming down with eq-
ual celebrity Walls or ceilings may
collapse at a moments notice., Chin
ney pots may crash through the roof,
or the flooring subside and launch you
hurriedly into the cellar. Consequent
ly it is proved by figures that you are
a lot safer in an express train than at
home.

Attention is called to the fact
that the stove peddlers have
struck the state of Mississippi
again, just as they do every fall
when cotton begins to move, and
the poorer classes have more
money than at any other season of
the year. The newspapers of the
state are crying out against the
invasion, urging their readers to
see and consult their nearest
hardware dealer before buying a
stove or other article from travel
ing agent, to satisfy themselves
that they are being swindled.
But suckers are numerous -one
is born every minute, as Mr..
Barnum said-and the peddlers

ANGRY MOB
KILLS NEGRO
BRUTE HAD MURDERED WHITE WOMAN
AND MADE ATTEMPT TO ASSAULT HER
II YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.

/ Oxford, Miss, Sept. 8.-A
mob of over 100 men an boys
battered in the doors of the Jail
here tonight and dragged Neb.
Patton from his cell and mobbed
him. At one o'clock this after
noon Patton. trusty at the jail,
murdered Mrs. McMullin, cut
ting her throat from ear to ear,
and then attempted to assault
her daughter. McMullin, the
husband of the dead woman, was
incarcerated in the jail at Ok
ford, and had sent the negro to
his home with a message to his
wife. 1t was on this mission
that the negro committed his
heinous deed. The tragedy oc-
Cured one mile east of Oxford,
and Immediately afterwards the
mob which took Patton's life be-
gan to gather.
Judge w. A. Roane, in an ear
nest effort, tried to persuade the
mob to disperse and let the law
take it's course, but an address
by eX-United States Senator w.
V. Sullivan infamed the throng,
and a rush was made for the
Jail.
AS the jail here is one of the
strongest in the state, the mob ex-
perienced considerable difficulty
in getting the negro out. After
considerable time the main door
was at last forced, and Patton
was killed as he was being drag
ged from his cell. He was then
carried out and swung to a tree
on the street near the jail.
The story of the tragedy for
which Patton paid the penalty of
death was most revolving.
