erS Cau9nt.
| Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1S.-Governor
Deneen has issued six proclamatiops,
one for each violent death during the
riot, offering large money rewards for
evidence which would lead to the con-
viction of the guilty persons.
William Bowe, chief clerk at the
county treasurer's Office, is dying at st.
Johns hospital from wounds received
in the deadly race rioting. The states
attorney is taking deathbed state
ment. w
G. w. Scott, who was shot in the
lungs, is dead at the hospital, making
the total list of dead seven.
Altogether some fifty or more cases
will be brought before the jury, and if
the expectations of the states attorney
are fulfilled several hitherto respected
citizens will find themselves called
upon to face serious charges in the
criminal court.
Confidence In Grand Jury.
The grand jury has already won the
confidence of the state and county au-
thorities by its action.
1t is stated that many citizens known
to have important testimony regarding
the mob and it's leaders have been de-
TERED from offering this to the states
attorney because of threats of violence
made against them anonymously.
''The riot could scarcely have been
prevented, and real disgrace will come
only IL the guilty are allowed to es-
cape" Is the opinion of the authorities.
So the civic bodies are asked to urge
all good citizens to reveal freely what
ever of testimony they may possess.
| Only sheer weight of evidence is like
| ly to break through the local prejudice
and assure convictions, according to
the police.
The gathering of evidence has begun
in earnest. Policemen in plain clothes
were sent to search the houses of pris-.
oners and suspects, and as result the
police station looks like general store.
Groceries, hardware, clothing, dry
goods and shoes were recovered in
great quantities, most of them bearing
the price tags of the looted business
houses.
Many arrests followed. Eighty pris-
oners were crowded into the small cell
room at the police station, with only
the cement floor available for sleeping
Five of the arrests made are regard
ed as important by the police. 1t was
in the homes of these men that most
of the loot was found. A sixth person
is being sought by the police, who aver
that when he is arrested all of the
ringIeaders of the mob will be in GUS
tody.
Roy Young, twenty-five years old,
one of the prisoners taken, has con-
fessed to starting number of fires,
the police say. A search Of his rooms
revealed a quantity of new overalls,
shoes, boys shirts and other articles Of
apparel.

This strange tree grows in nearly
all tropical countries. At the tip
OF the leaf there is a sharp thorn,
which is the needle. II you grasp It
firmly and pull it out, long thread
of fiber comes with II. and there
you are-with needle all ready
threaded for your sewing.
The fiber thread is very strong and
the Mexicans use II for weaving a
coarse kind of cloth as well as for
sewing. The leaves of the tree they
use for roofing their houses instead
of tiles and fine roof they made
with them, strong and waterproof
just the sort of roof that IL needed

turally food of inquiries soon be-
gan TO pour in.
Say, old man." remarked one OF
his neiehbors on noting tho change.
why have you given your home n
new name? What was the matter
with The Nutshell?'"
"Why?" responded the man, with
some warmth: because was tired
of being jollied! Because I was tired
of being kidded! There isn't boy for
mile around who hasn't stopped
and rung the doorbell every time he
passed TO ask II the colonel was in!"

The Importance of studying the
electrical phenomena OF the air is
noted editorially by the Electrical
Review New York;. Says this pa
per: Although there are many OBJ
servatories which record the condi-
tions from day to day, but little is
being done in an experimental way.
During the last year the meteorolo-
gical department at Washington sent
up a number of balloons with record
Ing devices, and fortunately secured
about nine-tenths of them after they
had made their fight, and thus OBJ
tanned a large amount of interesting
information. But II we are to get
any really Valuable information
which will lead to something, such
experiments must be carried out on
much larger scale and over a much
wider territory than has been done.
II can hardly be doubted that the
electrical condition of the air plays
an important part in natural pheno-
mcna. II must have some effect up
on all animal and vegetable life, even
though this be slight, and 1t must
also be a factor in affecting weather.

who are wasting much valuable time

balloons might add greatly to our
scientific knowledge, and perhaps

UNCLE SANS new FOR
'ESTERSAND THEIR WORK

Thirty-nine young graduates OF
mine American forest Schools of
lately received appointments as
Forest Assistants in the Forest Ser
vice and have assigned 10 positions
for the present field season. The
new appointments are drawn from
the variuos Forst Schools as follows:
Yale, IS; Baltiomore, 5; University
of Minnesota, A University of Mich
igan, A. Michigan Agricultural Col
lege, 3; Harvard, 2; Cornell, /;
University OF Iowa, /, and University
of Nebraska, /. They have secured
their appointments as result OF
passing the regular Civil Service ex-
animation, which is the only avenue
TO employment as a forester under
the government. In addition TO thsse
graduates of Forest Schols, fifteen
other candidates passed the examl-
nation.
Twenty-Five OF the new appoint
ees are already at work on variuos
National Forests, taking part In their
administration, and seventeen have
ben assigned TO different projects
.connectsed with the technical study
OF silyiculture. Forest Assistants
are men who have completed their
preliminary training for the profess
sion OF forester, as the graduates of
law OF medical chool have compile
ted theirs, and are ready to enter on
practical work. Until they have
gained experience in their work, how
ever their positions are necessarily
subordinates.
They are at the foot OF the ladder
and, must prove their fitness in order
to mount higher. The Government
pays them $1,000 year at the start.
On the National Forests The Forest
Assistant often acts as adviser TO the
Supervisors in charge, who are west
ern mon experienced in all practical
matters, but usually without school
training in the science of forestry.

of some particular problem which
needs to be Investigated in the in

CIVILIZATION AND BARBARIsM

The men of Springfield have dem
onstrated TO conclusion that this
boasted civilization of ours is only
short step removed from barbar-
ism and that under the strain of ex-
citement men will lose their heads
entirely and become little better than
beasts.
1t is easy to understand why men
should become greatly IncenseG over
crime such as was committed in
the Illinois capital ana it docs not
require such a great stretch Of i'm
agination to see how they could be-
come worked up to the point of
ayenging the crime, by stringing up
the brute. be he black or white, vino
committed it. But how a body of
men could work Themselves up TO
the point of killing every man who
Is the same color as the man who
did the deed, applying the torch to
the property of the people of his
race, and prosecuting their outlaw
cry TO the point where it becomes
necessary to call out the state
guards to protect the property of
white and black alike Is just a little
past conception.
Springfield, Ohio, has had two such
demonstrations in recent years and
It will be mlny years before she Is
able to live down the stain upon her
name. Springfield, Illinois, is now
in the same class with the Ohio
city of the same name and the time
is far distant when the blood will
be washed from the streets of the
city and the stain removed from the
fair name of Illinois.
AT such times as were expert
enced in Springfield Saturday, the
people of other cities are likely to
play the publican and thank God
thy are not as other men are. This
Is doubtlessly true Of the people of
Marion. Let US hope that should Of
fences be committed in Marion th9t
the people will bear in mind that we
are living in civilized country and
refrain from such disgraceful dem
onstrations as were made in the last
city to be wrecked by the people,
forgetting that the days for barb7r-
ism arc past.

estry means knowing how to get
the most out of any given piece of
forest land, 1t calls for studies and
experiments, both scientific and prac-
tical, much like those which have
to be made in the interest in the pro-
fession of Forest Assistant is prepar-
ed to do valuable work along this
line. 80
There is a growing interest in the
procession of forestry now, and many
young men are asking how to get in
to it and what 1t promises. Clifford
Pinchot the Government Forester,
has lately written on this subject:
"To be a good forester man
should combine something of the
naturalist with good deal of the
business man. To know how TO use
the forest he must be able to study
it. He must have. therefore, the
power of observation, fondness
for nature, and the ability TO pene-
trate her secrets. But IL he is to
succeed he must also have good prac-
tical judgment and the ability to
meet and handle men. lie must be
resourceful, able to stand by himself
willing to undergo the privations of
rough life, and capable of command
ing the respect of rough men, who
quickly recognize virility and lgenu-
mess of character, but will not toll
crate pretense or assumption of SUI
periority A forester needs vigorous
body He must be OF the kind that
likes to get things done, and does
not give up when things are not go
ing his way. He will have to face
difficulties and work out problems
for from outside help, relying solely
upon himself. He ought to be hard
to whip
"The professional forester cannot
hope for big fees and certain pleas
ant surroundings of life which crown
distinguished success in some other
professions. The first prizes which
are bestowed upon the great lawyer
the eminent physician, are not yet
open to him. He must be content
without much luxury; he will have
to spend a good deal of time out
Of reach of the ordinary comforts. He
must be able and willing to rough
it without complaint. TO sleep on
hard beds, eat homely fare endure
prolonged eXertion and get along
with plain people, On the other
hand, If he is at all fitted for his
rrofession-and few weeks of actual
forest work or good school
work will tell him whether he is
or not-there Is open TO him very
rich reward--life in the open, in the
midst of beautiful, heathful and con-
genial surroundings, creative work
of unmatched usefulness in any ma
terial field, place of large respon-
sibility and dignity, and with 1t all
a fair living.
"If the forester's Temperament is
scientific he win have the joy of
the disdoverer and organizer of
knowledge in rich and almost va
gin field, while il It be practical he
will have a chance ofsharinlg in
national work OF prim Importance TO
our people both now and hereafter.
