Cairo, Ills, Feb 1S.-A company of ond mob in Cairo within the past few months early today took the body of Alexander Halliday from a snowbank under the jail window and kept a quiet watch.
 The mob had been dispersed earlier in the morning by the sheriff who or dered a volley fired that killed Halli- day and wounded four others. After the shooting, the mad crowd fell back and did not attempt to pick up the body of the dead man. Sheriff Nellis declared it would lie there until morn ing or until the soldiers came. When the troops arrived there was little for them to do except to take away Halliday's body. The mob gathered before daylight to storm the AleXan- der County jail and lynch two negroes, John Pratt and Lincoln Wilson, con- victed purse snatcher. Nellis called the troops when the mob refused to disperse.
 The wounded Sam Wessinger, badly wounded, shot in head; John Maloney, slightly wounded, shot in head; George B. Walter, shot in leg; Horton c. Ryan, shot in leg.
 About fifty men were in the mob that threatened to break open the jail. Nell lis and 13 deputies, 5 white men and 8 negroes, were called. After the shots had been fired the invaders fell back. Although it was rumored another at- tempt would be made, the mob did not return.
 Company K of the Illinois National Guard, called out by Governor Deneen last night, on account of the trouble did not arrive at the courthouse until the mob was dispersed. Upon their arrival just before daybreak the mili- tary men removed the body of Ealli- day to St. Mary's Infirmary where af- ter an examination the body was turn ed over to an undertaken by order of the coroner.

 He called attention to the wording or ms sup1ect by way of preface. He said: You will notice that the move. ment is called a 'Laymen's' movement This does not mean that it Is exclll. sively for the laymen and that tn, clergy has no part in it. It meant simply that it is mems movement rather than a childrens or women's movement. One Of the significant fea- lures of past missionary work ha: been that the interest was almost en- tlrely among the clergy. the woner and the children. In this movement the laymen are simply upholding tn, hands of the clergy. It cannot be ex. pected that the clergy can suppor missionary work alone, without assist ance. The work needs the support O. the men. The movement would hard. ly live a. long time with the co-opera. ton of the clergy" 9.

mess men who have been and are now actively interested in the political affairs of our city, and who have the city's interest at heart They feel that an organization of this character would be a great benefit to the city in promoting it's welfare for good govern- ment and clean politics. It will bring men together for the purpose of dis cussing important questions in matters in which the city's welfare is concern ed. thereby reaching men who would otherwise remain indifferent in such matters until it was too late In the past it has frequently happened that citizens have awakened to the fact that something had been done they did not approve of and it is found to late to remedy the same.

Opportunity Of SuffraoIst.

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
Of the magazines how the women of
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
ahe opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that of 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
In Russia took place at the same time,
occurred. they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.
