STARTED BY ACT OF NEGRO ON
FRIDAY.
Several Deaths and Many Injured
Over 1000 State Troops Nok on

! AS the result Of an assault commit

Iand two men were killed anu proba-
Rbly two score others injured, mostly

Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1G.-Two
deaths from injuries suffered in pre-
vious mob fights, the attempted cut
ting of the fire alarm wires, the ex-
oneration Of Private j. B. Klein,
Company A, First Illinois infantry,
by court of inquiry for the killing
of Earl Nelson at Kankakee yestcr-
day and the pursuit of a mob by
guardsmen were the chief develop
ments today in the race war in
Springfield.
The attempt to cut telephone and
fire alarm wires leading into the city
hall was not successful. a policeman
saw three men on top of an outbuild-
ing. trying to reach the lines over
head. He turned in an alarm to the
lcainuaricr> of Gov. WcllaS, com

great field for even the big body
OF troops here now. 1t was The idea
OF the military authorities that the
most effective work could be done
with the danger spots restricted as
much as possible.
Another factor in this connection
was the large number of warnings of
impending trouble. At all the police
stations word was received that at
tacks were organizing by lawlcss per-
sons. who. with complete day of
rest, were expected to make tonight
the supreme test between the mob and
the troops.
Several complaints were received
from nearby villages and hamlcts Of
NV ''''f"N w PDlltlllttlS.
The most iuSiStcnl came from Chat
ham, ~ miles south. The negroes
there became frightened at the atti-
tudc Of their white ncighbors and
asked that troops be sent. Their
spokesman was told that the best
plan would be for them TO come to
Springfield and seek projection at
the arsenal The authorities are a
bit worried by the conditions in the
outside sections.
Scores Of negroes have left Spring
field, either on foot or by trolley ears,
the litter riding as far as their means
permitted and then striking across
country. These tramping parties,
aimlcsS and pcnnilcss. are causing
some complaint from the commune

Minor deprcdations, ii is said, have
increased in the farming region be-
cause of this condition. The Spring.
field officers arc doing all they can
to rcasSurc the negroes still here.
Thus far they have been partly sue
ccssful, although the number of those
who have sought shelter in the ar
scnal is surprisingly small. Most of
the refugees are advanced in years,
too. The younger negroes, who might
be expected to add fuel to the smould-
ering flames by rash acts, have gen.
orally refused to become wards of the
State.
Today an alarm reached the arsen-
al from Spring and Edward streets,
where William Donncgan was last
night lynched. a rapid fire squad
WAS sent t" the place on the double

had cleared the streets for half mile

Cure the sause by using Mi-o-na
Stomach Tablets and be well and

III. LIGON, Prop T
ohildt Day at Mount Zion.

1t lod For while last Satur-
day mo g that the day was not
going to De at all propitious for the
Whildren's Day exercises at Mount
Zion, but the clouds 6Mally got out
of the way and evef yening was per-
feet to make it delightful day.
At IL O'Clock, the hour to begin,
the church was filled and many
were standing outside, and by noon
there were as many outside of the
church as there were inside.
"Coronation" was the opening
song, after which Rev. Waters, at
one time pastor of the church,
led in prayer. The program was
indeed a treat and most enjoyable.
The special music rendered by
the choir deserves special mention,
also the drill and recitations by
the little people.
The addresses from Revs Waters
and Sellers and Hon. Dick Tyler
were very much appreciated.
Mr.. Tyler in his remarks said he
was raised in the Mount Zion neigh
borhood and when he was a boy he
thought the girls around Mount
Zion were the prettiest anywhere,
and he said in looking through the
crowd assembled he found that
Mount Zion was still keeping pace
in this way, as he thought the girls
now had inherited the beauty of
their mothers. who were the girls
of his boyhood days.
Now as to the dinner it isn't neces-
sary to say, for anyone who was
ever at Mount Zion on an occasion
of this kind, or who has ever heard
of one, knows that the dinner was
indispensable. We do not believe
it.ds an exaggeration at all to say
the 800 people were fed Saturday,

Cotton Seed Meal as Fertilizer.

Although cotton seed meal con
tains considerable percentages of
phosphate acid and potash, large
proportion of which has been shown
to be readily available to plants, it
is chiefly used as source Of nitrogen
in fertilizers. Storer states the
experience has shown that cotton
seed meal is usually as good as fer
t1lizer as regards its nitrogen as
either dried fish or flesh scrap, pro-
vided the land is not too dry" Cot
ton seed meal has given excellent re-
suits, especially in the Southern
States, as fertilizer for sugar cane.
cotton and corn. 1t has also been
successfully substituted for barnyard
manure in the culture of tobacco.
While cotton seed meal, as the
above facts show, has high value
when applied directly as fertilizer,
a more rational practice in many
cases is to feed the meals to animals
and apply the resulting manure to
the soil. From so to 90 per cent Of
the fertiliZing materials of the meal
will thus be recovered in the manure.
and additional benefit will be Sc
