AN ILLUSTRATION OF HOW TIC
PREVENT lYNcHINGS.

Staanton yesterday gave the coun-
try timely illustration of how lynch
ings may be prevented. a negro.
charged with criminally assaulting u
little girl, was indicted. tried and
sentenced TO die in the electric chair
within six hours. II this sentence Is
carried out without undue delay. the
peopie Of Staunton and vicinity will
be satisfied with the law and If the
city is so unfortunate as to have
another such case to deal with no one
will think of lynching.
Out IN Cairo. H.. few days ago
practically the entire city rose up IN
arms. secured the country until the
sheriff and a negro accused of fiend-
ish assault and murder were captured,
and returned TO the city to hang the
negro to the public arch. Then, hav-
ing worked itself into a state of fren-
zied excitement. the mob proceeded
10 the city jail. battered down the
cage and took out white man who
for long time had been awaiting
rial on the charge OF brutally murder
Ing his wife. The man was strung up
in the stree; and his body. like that OF
the negro had been, was riddled
with bullets.
When informed of what was going
on. Governor Deneen, declared that
the state had been disgraced. and dis
PATCHED regiment OF soldiers to the
scene to restore order. II was ter
rible affair. and the governor and all
other good citizens of Illinois are right
in deploring it, But the outbreak OF
mob rule Itself Is not so much of an
outrage as the lax administration OF
justice which brought about the out
break. IL governors and other Of
ficials would devote more time TO see
ing that the law is properly enforced.
they would not be called upon so often
TO depiore a demonstration OF the
citizens lack OF respect For the law.
Such uprisings as the one at Cairo
are not confined to any particular part
of the country. In Illinois or in Texas
or in Virginia. il the constituted an-
thcrities persistently fail to mete out
punishment to murderers and rapists
the people rise up and take ;le law
into their own hands. And this will con
tinue TO go on just as long as the
nature OF our people is unchanged.
Instead Of wasting time deplOrins
and lamenting over the effect OF the
laws delays and miscarriages. coed
citizens would do well to devote theiI
attention TO the election OF officers
who do their duty and see to il that
criminals are punished.
No doubt there viii be a disposi.
ton among some people in the South
10 sioat over this Illinois affair. and
loudly direct attention 10 the fact that
this was not the work Of a Southern
mob. There is no reason for any
gloating. Under the same circum
stances. the same thing very prOoabl,
would have occurred in any stat,
south OF Mason and Dixon's line.

LONDON, aug. 90. - If the
statement of a learned professor
of Copenhagen should prove to be-
correct the reproach conveyed iaI
the well-known words, Tears, idle
tears" can no longer be truthfullyI
leveled at lachrymation, and to cry
will in future not be looked upon
as a mere exhibition of feeling,
but as an attempt to use natures
remedy incidentally.
DR.. Lindahl, of Copenhagen. has
discovered that tears are not only
"a relief to injured feelings, but
they possess antiseptic qualities.
They act upon microbes as well rs
upon the heart. They have a
deadly effect upon the bacilli II
certain tu-1ors, but are less ef-
ficious upon bacteria OF pneu-

The Copenhagen doctor has
made series of experiments, from
which we are told that tears to be
effective must be employed fresh
and IN natural state. Otherwise
they rave no therapeutic effect.
The whole virtue OF teare seems TO
be in their sincerity.

HE MAY WEAR MEDAL
FOR SAVING FAMILY cow

WEST SEATTLE, Aug. "a
For the saving of the life of an
old COW, Motorman H. Grafton. OF
the Seattle Electric company, may
wear a medal of honor. Several
weeks ago Motorman Grafton,
while In charge of his car, saw a
COW hanging over the high en-
bankment by rope around Its
neck. Bessie had been grazing on
the hill above and had reached
over the bank just little too far
for a tempting mouthful OF grass
when her feet slipped and she went
over the high embankment. The
rope was tied to a tree and she
came to the end of 1t with jerk
and hung suspended in mid-air. On
seeing the cows predicament, the
motorman put on the air and rush
ed to her assistance. He drew a
knife fro mhfs pocked, cut the rope
and Bessie rolled down the en-
bankment to the track below.

rest Jas. H. Ritter, the farmer
whose wife and 14-month-old
baby were found last week drown

Pros. Atty. Chas. A. BLACKBOARD
announced that it was the purpose
of the authorities to hold Ritter In
custody pending the outcome of an
inquiry by the grand jury. Coro-

timony at his inquest warranted a
complete criminal investigation.
Coroner Todd cast aside the
original theory that the mother
had killed her child together with
herself by announcing that there
is not sufficient evidence to sup
port verdict of suicide.
Ritter himself at the inquest tes-
titled that he had enemies who
might have murdered his wife and
child for revenge. He did not
name any of these persons. Rit-
ter, too, testified that his wife was
''insanely jealous" of him.
This statement led Coroner
Todd to ask Ritter IL it was not
true that he had been attentive te

diamonds to the value of $4,000.
Although the robbery is supposed
to have taken place some time
Friday afternoon or evening, the
police have kept the matter secret

story became public. No clue has
been obtained so far. The dia-

we're stolen during Friday after

action can be traced in connection
with visitors and the robbery re-
