which closed At II o'clock and entered
the fraternity house on the run and
fell at the foot Of the stairs leading
TO the second floor on which he
roomed AS he fell his chin struck
the edge Of one Of the lower steps Of
the stairs, breaking his neck instant
". The fact that his arms were full
OF books is supposed to have pre-
vented him from breaking the fall

Though fianked by two body
guards only six feet away, Assistant
District Attorney Francis j. Henev.
the famous fighting prosecutor Of
municipal graft in Sac Francisco who
for two years has pushed the bride

shot in Judge Lawler's court room
late Friday afternoon by Morris Haas.

whose penitentiary days he had re-
vealed after Haas had been passed az
a juror in the second trial of "Abe"

The terms of the set cement of the
contest to break the Will Of Walter

died under mysterious circumstances
in New Jersey several months ago,
are made public for the first time.
By these terms Harvard University

Baker, brother of Walter, s150, 600.
The greater part of the estate was
originally left to Mrs. Hurd's daugh

Keith's Boston Theater.

A very strong programme has been
arranged for Thanksgiving week at
keith's Theatre, the principal feature
being Stella Mayhem in her latest
songs. Miss Mayhem is now one of
the most popular women enter
tainers in vaudeville, and is perhaps
the only rival of May Irwin in her
bright line of entertainment. Her
last appearance at this house was
one of the events of the season and
her return will be welcomed not only
by those who saw her, but by those
who were unfortunate enough to miss
her that week.

Auto Accidents

Druggist Charles Taylor lies dead as
a result of internal injuries sustained
in frightful aut mobile accident last
Sunday morning. Loaded with pas
sengers. his machine leaped from q
high and low road grade and turned
turtle, piuning the passengers beneath
it. 1t is considered little less than q
miracle that the entire party was not
killed or manned for life. The tragic
ending of Mr.. Taylor's life plunges
the community into the deepest sor-
row.-Jefferson Bee.

their return trip Saturday night neal
Henry Schnoor's south of Avoca, the
driver failed to notice turn in the
road and to avoid crashing into the
fence, gave the auto a quick turn.
The high rate of speed WAS too much
for such short turn and the machine
was turned over, throwing the occu.

Nobody was hurt. The party drove
from Avoca to Kirkman and the auto

MOB RULED
Springfield, Illinois, a Day or Two
Last Week. Seeked Blood of
Negroes. Lives Lost

Two negroes were imprisoned
awaiting trial, one for fiendish as
sault on conductors wife, the other
far numbering the father of girl he
seeked to assault and had come to her
rescae. That vicious negroes
deserve hanging, if guilty, there is
no question, as would any other
villain for like offence. Usually a
trial before "Judge Lynch" is short,
but whether Justice is melted out at
all times is another question indeed.
The tension of the people upon
whom these crimes were committed
was at its height. They demanded
an immediate trial before "Judge
Lynch" The sheriff did the worst
that an official could do under the
circumstances them out of
town. This kindled the fire and
rush for Lopez, the restaurant man,
was made. He had an auto and
helped the sheriff run the prisoners
to railroad, stopped the train that
took them away. They pushed Lo-
per and his wife into their cellar and
destroyed his stock and fixtures,
turned his auto upside down and set
it afire, then the building. The fire
company was called out but instantly
the hose was cut in dozen places.
Lopez and his wife cut their way
thru the crowd and left town. To

men to work it. 1t is men that make

Iowa leaves the tradesmen one less

than Iowa lands? where corn is selling

Psychology in Clothes.

Dr. Thomas Claye Shaw of London,
speaking on the subject Of the special
psychology Of women, says that there
is a psychology in clothes. 1t is use
less to say that they dress as they
do to please other women or please
men. They dress simply because they
have to in their own way and to their
own satisfaction. The psychology of
dress is that it appears to make you
