Heathen Are Too Many.

Hot Springs, Ark.-'Let them die;
there are too many of US now"
This was the answer made to mis-
sionaries in China who appealed to the
wealthy men of that nation for help
while countless millions Of their peo-
pie were dying from hunger and lack
Of shelter during the terrible famine
Of last year, according to the report
made to the Southern Baptist conven-
tion Monday by T. F. McRae, through
whose hands the $750,000 contributed
by America to purchase food was dis
tributed.
But the great multitudes of China
appreciate our help" said the speaker.
China has come to look upon us as
her greatest friends.
The reception rendered Secretary
Taft on his arrival at Shanghai means
more than our people appreciate.
1.-THE greatest people of the nation
came to do him honor and the streets

who took ar interest in the public re.
ceptions. China violated for the first
time tradition as old as her history
when she permitted her women to be

He says, regarding his own expe-

drinking coffee, and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning was
so irritable and upset that could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then had no appetite for
breakfast, and did not feel like at
tending to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as 1 was selling SO much
Postum there must be some merit in
It and suggested that We try 1t. l
took home package and she pre-
pared it according to directions. The
result was a very happy one. My

PUEBLO MOB
SEEKS NEGRO
HUNDREDS GATHER At COUNTY
JAIL TO TRY TO LYNCH
MURDERER.
F0ILED BY ABSENCE
ONLY pEsIsr AFTER COMMITTEE
HAS THOROUGHLY SEARCHED
BUILDING.

Denver.-A Pueblo dispatch Monday
night says: Believing that Jim ynn
the negro who last Thursday morning
here at Pueblo murdered Sarah James
a sixteen-year-old white girl. after
which he wounded her mother, Is con
fined in the county jail here, a mob Of
400 tonight visited the jail and de-
manded that Lynn be turned over to
them.
The mob, after beating down the
outer doors, would not disperse until
Sheriff Mcmillan had allowed two com
mittees to search every nook and Gran
ny. of the building.
The mop was thoroughly organized
and evidently desperately in earnest.
Reports have been prevalent all
through the evening that Lynn had
been brought in to the city, and ex
element was high.
About 9 O'Clock a man on horseback
with rope trailing along the ground
rode through the streets, calling fol-
men to accompany him to the jail.
He was quickly accommodated, and
within half an hour a mob surrounded
the place, and was threatening to
storm the building.
Several heavy planks were secured
and used as battering rams. The outer
iron door was quickly broken and the
officers. realizing that the door could
not hold much longer, began to parley
The result of the conference was
that a committee of five was appointed
to search the jail. When 1t reported,
the members Of the mob refused to be.
lieye the report and began threaten.
ing to again storm the doors.
Another conference was held and a
committee of twelve was sent through
the building.
When 1t reported that the man was
not there the mob dispersed.
Lynn is now in Colorado Springs
and will no. be brought here until the
excitement has quieted.
Practically all Of the county officers
and the police were summoned to the
Jail tonight as result of the mob's
visit. Feeling here is against Lynn
and although his trial has been ar
ranged for June 9th, it is believed to
be unsafe to bring him to Pueblo.
The trial of Lynn, who was ar
rested at Limon Saturday night, will
open here June 9th.
Sarah James, who was killed by the
negro, was buried today. the funeral
being largely attended. Julia James,
her mother. is holding her own at the
hospital and may recover.
