New York City.-A cable dispatch

acceptance of DR.. Cooks claim that
he reached the North Pole April 21,
1908, on the ground that the claim is
not substantiated.
Besides that DR.. Cooks proofs will

GOV. DENEEN MoBlLlZlNG TROOPS
TO PROTECT NEGRO SUSPECT
ED OF KILLING CARMAN.
FEAR LYNCH|NG AT F. ST. LOUIS
Killed Motorman and Shot and
Robbed Conductor-Sheriff Sends
Word to Executive That
Feeling Is Strong.

st. Louis, Mo.-Gov. Deneen Of
Illinois has issued orders for eight
companies of the Fourth regiment,
l. N. G., to mobilize at once and be
prepared 10 go to East st. Louis or
Belleville to protect William Clark,
negro, who is in Jail at the latter
place, charged with the murder of
Motorman Eugene V. Goudey and
shooting and robbing Conductor Mi
chael P. O'Brien, on an Alta Sita car.
This action was decided upon after
Gov. Deneen had a conference with
Sheriff Cashel of Belleville over the
phone. While conditions in Belleville
are quiet, mob violence Is feared.
Twelve deputies, armed with riot guns
are on guard in the Jail.
Frank P. Wells, commander Of the
Second brigade, was ordered by the
governor to go to Belleville at once.
Clark was rushed to the little town
from East st. Louis early Monday
morning, in special car, after he had
been identified by Conductor O'Brien
as the man who shot and robbed him.
Following the identification, Clark
was charged with the murder Of Mo-
torman Eugene V. Goudey, who was
killed after OBrien fell unconscious
from the wound.
Clark was rushed to Belleville from
East St. Louis on special traction
car, which broke all speed and danger
laws in an effort to get him beyond
the reach oe mob violence. He will be
taken back to East St. Louis for the
inquest.
East st. Louis police announced
that Clark confessed to them that it
was he who shot O'Brien and Goudey,
According to this statement Clark
made his first confession to Night
Chief Doyle.
Later while on car on his way to
the Belleville Jail he is said to have
made a similar confession to Acting
Chief of Police Yowell When Yowell
asked him If pearl handle revolver
found in his pocket when he was ar
rested was the one with which he shot
the men, Clark is quoted as saying:
mo, used another gun"

FOR THE PUBLIC
New Formula Cures Coughs, coids,
Bronchitis and Hoarscness
In Five Hours,

Much is being done in these days
to stop the ravages of consumption,
but probably nothing has been 80
effective as teaching the public how
10 break up cold and cure coughs,
bronchitis, tonsilitis, ETC., with simple
home-mixed medicine. A laxative
cough syrup, free from whiskey is the
prime need. A cough indicates in
flammation and congestion and these
in turn are due to an excess of waste
and poisons in the system. A tonic
laxative cough syrup rids the system
of congestion, while relieving the
painful coughing. Get the following
and mix at home: One-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce COM
pound essence cardiol and three ounces
syrup white pine compound. Shake
the bottle and take twenty drops every
half hour for four hours. Then one
half to one teaspoonful three or four
times daily. Give children less, ac-
cording to age. Cut this out and save
1t for some friend.

East st. Louis Ill.--A mob at
State street car at the eastern limits
of East st. Louis in an attempt to
take the car and go to Belleville,
where it had been planned to lynch
George Clark, the negro held for the
murder of Motorman Eugene v.
Goudy, and the wounding of Conductor
NJ. T. O'Brien Saturday night.
The members of the crew from
whom the car was taken apprised G.
S. Hewitt, superintendent of the East
st. Louis & Suburban Railway COM
pany, and he ordered the power en-
gines to shut down.
This left the car stranded on the
tracks in the hands of it's captors and
further efforts on the part of East ST.
Louisians to reach Belleville were
unsuccessful.
Mob Lacks a Leader
AT this time Belleville was sleeping
on its arms. Twenty-Five officers armed
with riot guns were inside the county
Jail where Clark was rushed after
his arrest at midnight Sunday, and
held following his confession.
THE street of this town will run
with blood before there is lynching,"
said Sheriff Cashel early in the night.
Five hundred persons assembled in
the public square about midnight in
anticipation of mob violence. Many de-
sired to fill the role of spectators,
while others wanted only leader to
move against the jail.
When the saloons closed at 12
o'clock the crowd was restless and
rumors were afioat that two carloads
of street-car men were en- route from
East St. Louis.
Crowd Waits in Cold.
The crowd waited for them until /
o'clock when the cold caused them to
retreat Deputy Sheriffs and officers
from East st. Louis mingled with the
crowd, and when inhammatory re-
marks were heard singled out some of
the loudest takers and hustled them
away, warning them not to again join
the crowd.
1t is believed that only the known
fact that a movement on the Jail
would be suicide for those in front re-
strained a concerted attempt Mon
day night to lynch the negro.
Eight companies of militia are
under arms and Company F, of Eff
fingham, spent the night in its armory
with special train in the Effinghan
yar6c .rpadv for ipGtapt
Brigadier General Frank P. Wells,
commanding the Illinois militia, took
charge of the situation Monday night,
under orders from Governor Deneen.
He arrived in Belleville at 6 o'clock
and announced that he will remain
there several days, or until all danger
of an attempted lynching has passed.
