The ace riot at Springfield, Ill.,,
has finally been quelled after two or
three days Of the most exciting
character, in which whites and
blacks both left the city in large
numbers for the preservation Of
their lives. The acts of violence of
the white mob is a disgrace to the
capital city of Illinois, for they did
things beyond all bounds Of reason,
ono act being especially disgraceful
where they burned the automobile
Of the man who carried the prisoner
out Of the city and put him aboard
Of an outgoing train, and then went
to his restaurant and Quilted the
interior. The white mob made an
attack on all negroes and several
were hung to telegraph or telephe ne
poles with regard to anything. Gov
ernor Dineen called out the state
militia and sent troops of the guard
to Springfield to help quell the riot.
The governor denounced the actions
Of the mob in very strong terms and
regretted the disgrace that had been
heaped upon the state.

MERGING OF NEWSPAPERS.

Over at Dell Rapid there have
bean two excellent newspapers
published for about twenty yeas
and 10th editors have had to work
their finger ends OF to make some
money, and at the same time, per-
haps. Wishing that the other fellow
would quit. v. q. Wass. formerly
Of Uentsrvilie, settled the PROPOSE
ttoo By going to Dell Rapids and
6uying both papers and consolidating
them Into ono plant. Hereafter Dell
Raplds will:have but one newspaper
I'D III. Wass can make . hummer
~ u, unless some fellow thinks he
can ses . gold mine flow into Wass'
pockets and he wants to try and
break it up. The fact IL the mer-
chants were drained to q great ex-
tent FOR advertising in both papers
and In hundreds Of cases both papers
want into the same homes In aud
around Dell Rapids, consequently
that money vas thrown away for
advertising. The two papers ct
Oentefville have been consolidated
u the same manner.
The daily newspaper field Is like
Wise over crowded In several towns
q this stats IN comparison to the
elIe Of towns N other states. For
instance in st. Paul with about
100000 Inhabitants there are but
three daily papers; In Sioux Falls
With Is, 600 inhabitants there are two
dallles; 10 Madison With 5000 people
there are also two daily papers. In
Council Bluffs, Iowa, a city Of
s36.000 peopleD there Is but n daily
paper. The situation Ia st. Paul
md Council Bluffs ought to solve the
question Of dailies In smaller towns.
The same thing can be said OF weekly
papsrs, and there are several towns
r. this state where there are two
and three weekly papers published
alhichs ought not to support more
than one.
