HENRY SAL
HANGED { FDLE I ] |.
BODY OF WIFE MURpERER hid:
DIED WITH BULLETS AFTE r
TYING TO A POLE.

CAIRO, ILL.,, Nov. 12.---EtenE aalz.
ner, white, a photographer who killed
his wife last July with an axe, was
taken from Jail at 11:40 O'Clock last
night by mob and hanged to a tele-
graph pole and his body rihdled With
bullets. This lynching followed close
" on the lynching of VIII James, ne
gro, who earlier in the evening lad
been hanged for the murder OF Miss
Annie Pelley.
Governor Deneen, who is in Chicago,
was appealed to by Sheriff Davis, who
telephoned from Cairo chat troops
we're necessary. The governor order.
ed eleven companies of the State
Guard to to Cairo at once.
The mob gave SalZner n chance to
confess after the. rope was placed on
his neck, but he WAS so frightened tnat
he could only mumbie that his sister
.lad killed his wife.
The mob became furious at this and
1t was hard work to keep them on
Salzner long eno- -gh to give him a
nance to pray. The Tnob finally sub
sided and short religious service
was held after which he was strung
up, the rope being placed over tele-
;raph pole at Twenty-first and wash
ington streets.
The mob found some difficulty in
breaking the cage in which SalZner
vas confined in the jail, as it was an
ntirely steel structure, but after a
1talf hour Of telling blows upon the
Ioor, it gave way and SalZner was Sc
nlred. The mob rushed him out OF
he back door of the jail, which is in
he basement of the court house,
lrourd the building through the yard
nd out into Washington avenue and
I'D to Twenty-first street, which is a
prominent corner and has public
square.
The prisoner cried and begged pite'
ously for his life, but was met by yells
and blows from the mob.
When Salzner was asked for his last
statement, man, stranger in the
crowd, stepped forward and said he
believed Salzner was innocent where
upon the mob feH upon him, kicked
him and finally knocked him down.
and it was only the pleas of. cooler
persons wItn the m.ob th1t sayed his
life. He was compelled to beg for
mercy from the mob and announced In
loud voice that Salzner should be
lyuched, after which he was driven
from the mob and all attention was
given to Salzner.
After Salzner was. hanged and while
the body WAS being riddled with bull.
let's, the rope broke and the body fell
to the ground, where it now lies, the
mob going away and leaving it.
Salzner was born and raised near
here. He had been married about
two years last July, wnen his wife was
found at lner home with her skull fraci
turexl. A bloody axe was found under
the bed. Two babies were playing in
the mothers blood. Salzner was found
at. the home of his mother, where he
cften slept at night. Before Mrs. Salz-
ner died she recovered enough to ac;
cuse her husband of attacking her.
Feeling against him had been bitter.
Search for the negro Alexander, sup.
posed accoarplice of James in the Pei
ley murder continues.

says:
an pursuance of the policy outlined

tors substantially concluded negotia'
tfonS for the acquisition of a suitable
site at Fairnlont, West Virginia, on
which will be constructed a factory
for the manufacture OF all lines Of

least two furnaces and four ten arm
machines and have an initial capacity
of 100000 gross per annum. 1t Will be
constructed upon plans providing for
an ultimate capacity of 100000 gross
per annuul. and still farther enlarge

Satisfactory terms have been reach
ed as to fuel cost and freight rates Tor

pecially advantageous location in view
of the low price Of natural gas to be
supplied under a five year contract, A
low price for coal is assured at the
expiration of such contract, or upon
the failure of natural gas.

Local Dealers Notified That Law
in Regard to Oils Must Be
Vigorously Enforced
NEW DUTIES FOR INSPECTOR

Harry E. Grace, deputy state oil in
spector for Kenosha county, is making
the rounds of all the stores in Kenosha
notifying the dealers in oils and
kindred products that the new state
law which went into effect on July first
must be complied with to the very let
ter and while the men are to be given
reasonable time in which to comply
with the law vigorous prosecutions are
promised for all parties who do not
keep strictly within the reading of the
law. Grace has notified every dealer
in gasoline, kerosene, benzine and
naptha that wherever these oils are
offered for sale placards must be hung
up showing the exact quality of oil
kept in the place. Not only must the
dealers follow this rule, but all oil
companies having tanks in use in the
city must put posters on these tanks
showing the quality of oil sold.
Under the new law every barrel of
gasoline, benzine, naptha, or kerosene
used for lighting or fuel purposes must
be inspected on it's arrival in Kenosha
i and this change in the law will make
it necessary for Inspector Grace to give
nearly all Of his time to the duties
of the office. Of course the increased
duties Of the office bring to it a larger
remuneration, but the work will be
more difficult of accomplishment than
in the past.
In addition to the inspection of oils
the inspector is ordered to see to it
that all stove polishes sold in the city
which contain benzine or other COM
bustible material are properly labeled.
The state has provided a faring red
label for this purpose and the dealers
will not be permitted to sell the stock
now on hand without labelling it.
Many accidents have occurred from
the use of these polishes and the state
department has asked for the most
rigid enforcement of this portion of
the law. These stove polishes are
handled by nearly every grocery and
hardware store in the city.
In speaking of the law this morning
Mr. Grace said; "Of course the dealers
will no uiyan q raasonah 1a tina -,
which to comply with the provisions
of this new law, but the law must be
live up to the. very letter. The new
law makes the duties of the inspector
great deal heavier, but its provisions
are along the right line and we have
been instructed to enforce it,,

An examination of the school census
report shows very clearly why it is
necessary for the city to keep build
ing new school houses and no tax
payer begrudges the money it takes to
give every child of school age proper
accommodations in the schools. The
needs of the children take precedence
over everything else and the high
standard of the public schools will have
to be maintained if there is no money
left for any other public improve
ments just as long as the people of
the city believe that they are getting
value received for every dollar expend-
ed on the schools there will be no dis
position to limit the demands of the
School Boards. Extravagant expendi.
lures will be condemned, but the neces
sites will be cheerfully provided.

The work of figuring up the assess
ment rolls is not yet completed, but it
is near enough done to show that there
will be an increase in the personal
property assessment. The increase is
not large enough to make any great
difference in the coming levy, but it is
something and every little helps.
Small favors in that line will be, thank
fully received and larger ones in pro-
this city and county is nearer a full
value assessment than any other part
knowledge of the subject will seriously
contend that all taxable property is
on. the rolls. Any one who examines
| the rolls carefully can see places where
the assessments could be raised with
out doing an injustice and it is no re
Election on the work of the assessors
that such is the case. The assessors.
| in the limited time allotted for their
work, have all they can do to get
properties in the same neighborhood
equalized on the rolls without paying
attention to exceptional cases and they
do pretty well to get through without
any glazing inequalities in assessment
in the same localities although they
are always prompt to Investigate any
charges that certain. property owners
are lodging their taxes which may be
drought to their attention. The

1t is to be hoped that the committee
In charge of the work of getting plans
for the new city hall will issue gen
eral invitation to all architects to sub
NIT plans for the building coupled with
the assurance that their work will be
given the most careful consideration
by the committee and that they will
get square deal all around The
building that is to- be put up, now will
have to last for "a good many years
and it should be made as complete IN
every detail as it is possible to make
1t with the amount that the city is to
expend and tho city is surely entitled
TO the benefit of competition in the
plans and in every other contract in
connection with the erection of the
building. The architects should be
given free hand in submitting their
ideas in regard to the building to the
committee and the plan that in the
judgment of the committee comes most
nearly meeting all the requirements
should be the one accepted without
regard to any other consideration what
ever. The only limitation put on the
architects should be the price and it
should be understood right at the start
that any plan that does not come with
in the limit of $4,000 fixed by the
Council as the total cost of the build
ing will be rejected. The city should
be able to get pretty good city hall
for that amount and it is certainly
all that should be spent on one at this
time and the committee should be very
careful to see to it that the city is not
caught where it will have to spend
more than that sum.

1t is about time for the annual
"mad dog" scare and the resulting
campaign for the determination of the
unlicensed CANNES. Reports of people
being bitten are getting altogether too
numerous for comfort and there would
be no complaints should the city
authorities start in to rid the city of
the homeless ours roaming the
streets without waiting for the
inevitable cry of "mad dog" to
force them to take some ac-
ton. Little attention has been paid
to the dog license ordinance in the
past two years and as q natural con-
sequence the number of ownerless dogs
has increased until now there are more
unlicensed than licensed dogs in the
streets.
