TWO NEGROES LYNCHED.
Mob Wrecks Summary Vengeance
on Planters Slayers.

Charleston, Mo-, July 3.-Two ne
groes were lynched here this after
noon for the murder of William Fox,
a planter of Mississippi county. They
were taken from the county jail by
a large crowd of infuriated citizens,
who broke down the doors with
sledge hammers shortly after 4
o'clock. The negroes were alleged to
have shot Fox in the back while rid
ing in his wagon about two miles
from town last night.
He died after Identifying his as
sailants.
This morning farmers began to ar
rive in town, and alarmed by threats
of lynching Sheriff Culp appealed to
Governor Hadley for assistance and
swore in a number of deputies. The
sheriff's deputies were powerless to
check the mob, however.
It required two hours to break into
the Jail. Then the men rushed in on
the frightened negroes and, with
yells, took them outside. One negro
was hanged in the jail yard, after he
confessed his guilt. The other ne
gro was hurried into an automobile
and taken to the spot where he had
hid the revolver with which Fox was
shot. This weapon obtained, the ne
gro was taken back to Charleston.

Airship Destroyed.

Count Zeppelin, the German air
ship inventor, has met with another
Giscouraging disaster in the loss Of q
magnificent vessel that was complet-
ed only few weeks ago, at cost
of $4,000. The ship was appoint
ed to sail from Dusseldorf on June
27, for Darrmund, distance of about
twenty-five miles, with twenty news
paper men as passengers and crew
of ten men, making thirty in all. The
weather was unfavorable; but Herr
Colesmann, the general manager Of
the company that owned the vessel
did not like the idea of admitting
that he was dependent solely on the
elements, and insisted on starting
away. The ship began its journey
pretty well, considering a strong
headwind; but soon one Of the mo-
tors stopped, and the other was not
strong enough alone to make head
way against the current. The craft
was soon at the mercy of the winds,
and was presently driven against the
tops of some pines, bursting the silk
envelope and twisting the aluminium
frame. The ship was lodged in the
trees, and the passengers and crew
escaped unhurt by climbing to the
ground by means of ladder. The
loss of the vessel falls upon stock
company that had built it for pas
senger traffic.

Two Killed on Fatal Spot.

New York, July 3.-On the cross
ing at Valley Stream, L. l., where 20
persons were killed in a tally-ho
wreck some years ago, an automobile
owned by Andrew Crawford, of
Riverside, N. Y, and containing Mr..
Crawford, his two daughters and
chauffeur was struck by a Long Is
land railroad train this afternoon.
Both young women were killed and
the chauffeur was seriously injured.
Mrs. Crawford had left the car
only few minutes before the acci-
dent. Mr.. Crawford was tossed with
the occupants but escaped with a
few scratches.

At 1920 p. m. on the 30th Of April
a base ball game was held at the
Tozuka ground between the Ameri-
can ship, New Orleans" and the
Waseda University champions.
The Americans umpire was Mr.. B.
O. Kennedy and the Waseda's was
Mr.. Kono.
First, second and third innings,
neither team made any runs.
Fourth, Waseda's Mr.. Oi and Mr..
Matsuda got home alright, but Mr..
Ogawa and Mr.. Fukahori were put
out between the DaSeS.
Fifth, this inning was the same
as the first, second and third.
Sixth, the first three Americans
got their bases by their excellent
playing; the Waseda's were confused,
and owing to. their confusion Mr..
Rentz pot home bY an error OF
Waseda's pitcher, and Mr.. Reber also
got home after him.
Seventh, on the American side
Mr.. Dybro and Mr.. Ashcroft both
got home, and Waseda got no runs.
Eighth, Waseda made no runs, but
Just here trouble arose between the
two teams, because Mr.. 1seda, who
was running at this time, when he
was running for third base, was

The Block System.

aIlduIo, va, y oAS -
letin Just issued by the interstate
commerce commission, giving the
mileage of the railways in the United
States operated by the block sys-
tenn on January /, 1910, shows that
l2,O8O.1 miles of track on the South
ern Railway constituting thirty per
cent. of the entire mileage of the sys-
TEN, IS now equipped with this safety
appliance. Included in this are the
entire main line from Washington
to Atlanta and on to Birmingham,
the line from Bristol to Chattanooga,
that from Chattanooga to Atlanta and
Macon, and other important sections.
In the entire United States there are
only seven railway systems with a
greater mileage so operated than has
the Southern. No railway in the
South operates anything like'so large
mileage with the block system.
The system in use on the South
ern Railway is what is known as the
telegraph block" Suitable sema-
phore signals are erected at intervals
about five miles along the road to
guide the engineman in the control
of his train. The space between these
signals is called a block and two
passenger trains are under no circum-
stances permitted in a single block
at the same time.
The working of this system may be
best explained by taking two block
stations, Gainesville, Ga, and Oak
wood, Ca, for example. A train ap-
proaches Gainesville bound for At
lanta. The operator at Gainesville
asks the operator at Oakwood if he
can have the block for the approach
ing train.
If there are no trains between
Gainesville and Oakwood the opera
tor gives the required permission and
both operators make a record Of the
time, train, number, etc. The opera
tor at Gainesville then clears the
signal by putting it down to an angle
of about sixty degrees below hori-
zontal after the train comes in sight.
That is called clearing" the signal
and is done after the train comes into
sight to assure the engineer that the
signal is cleared for him and he will
not proceed into the block unless he
sees it 60 clear" This assures him
that he is not taking signal given
preceding train. AS soon as the
train passes the signal the operator
returns the signal to horizontal po-
sition, this indicates Danger, Stop,
and it remains in this position as long
as the train is in the block. 1t will
be noted that two men, one at each
end of the block, must cooperate to
allow train to enter, this provides
check which effectually prevents
mistakes, it being unlikely that two
men would make the same mistake at
the same time.
To install this system has necessi-
tated the employment of large num-
ber of additional telegraph operators
and the expenditure of large
amount of money for line wire sig
nails, etc., but the officials of the
Southern Railway believe that the
expenditure is warranted because of
the safety it affords their patrons
from accidents due to collisions.

What Congress Did.


it has to it's credit a considerable
number of important and useful bills,
it must also be said that most of
these measures have been crippled
by vicious amendments made for the
benefit of special interests.
An exception to this statement is
the administration railroad bill which
the insurgent members of congress
succeeded in amending In the inter-
est of the people instead OF in the in
terest Of the railroad corporations.
While the excellent principle OF
the postal savings bank has been es-
tablished, Wall street interests sue
ceeded in manipulating the measure
greatly to their own advantage.
Statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico is another achievement for
which congress and the administra-
ton claim credit, but which is really to
their discredit. Both Territories COM
bined had in 1900 a smaller popula-
ton (including their Mexicans and
Indians) than Buffalo New York,
and only thirty thousand more peo-
pie than the city of New Orleans.
Territories so sparsely settled should
not be admitted to Statehood-at
least not unless combined as one
commonwealth.
The bill providing for the publica-
ton of campaign expenditures es-
tablishes a highly important princi-
pie, but this measure, too, was Grip
pied in that an amendment provides
that the publication shall be made af-
ter the election instead of before.
The West, always clamorous for
government aid, secured another $20;-
600, 900 to complete projects for re-
claiming arid lands. We are glad to
notice that Congressman Small gave
notice that the government, while not
expected to actually drain Southern
swamp lands, must at least provide
for surveying them and formulating
drainage plans.
One of the best new laws is that
appropriating s250,0O0 for the use
of the tariff commission. The men,
hers Of this board appointed by presi-
dent Taft are men Of unusual ability
and their investigations will doubt
less knock out some inequalities in
the present law.
Mr.. Aldrich's statement that he
could save the country s300,000,000
year by economies in the admins
tration set the country to thinking,
and congress did well to name a
commission to investigate the matter.
It would have been a great deal bet
ter. however, If it had not itself
made new records in extravaganza
in it's river and harbor, public build
ing, and other appropriation bills.
Other legislation of which congress
boasts includes law giving the presi-
dent unlimited right to withdraw
public lands for conservation pur-
poses; bill creating bureau of
mines; measures for the suppression
of the white slave traffic; new
tariff system for the PHILIPPINES; and
O. law looking to prohibition for the
Hawiian Islands.
Of hardly less Importance than
anything else was the action of the
house of representatives in curtail-
ing the power of the speaker and
providing means for recalling
smothered bills from the committee.
Speaker Cannon's determination to
stand for reelection is worrying the
Republican leaders very much and
great pressure will be used to make
him reconsider before the summer is
over.-Progressive Farmer.

called out, which he had made by
good hit from his bat. His ball
got among the lookers-on and Waseda
said it was right, because by the
ground rule, when a ball was hit
into the crowd of lookers-on the bat
ter was entitled to third base, but
the Americans insisted that he was
out, and so Waseda conceded it.
Ninth, Waseda's Mr.. Oh got home
and Mr.. Matsula also tried to get
home, but he was put out by the
Americans pitcher.
During this inning there was
trouble again, this time about Mr..
Matsuda being put out, but as the
umpires and the captains did not
make any concession, but each in
sisting on their own opinion, the
game was reverted back to the eighth
inning with the score to 2 in favor
Of the Americans, as they had the
outs.

NAPOLEON AS A MODEL.
Habit of Citing the Great Generals
AphOriSmS Not Yet Extinct.

Inc habit Of approvingly citing the
aphorisms Of Napoleon and or referring
10 MS deeds az examples to be follow
81 10 public or private life, is not
wholly extinct. Even reformers are
often guilty Of this practice, although
reformers, doctrinarfes and idealists
never received other than contemp-
tuous notice from the amazing Corsi-
can.
Evidently Napoleon il overworked
as philosopher of action, although
he may still be utilized for the drudg-
cry OF pointing mortal or adjoining
tale, a work which DR.. Johnson as
signed to Charles XII. Of Sweden.
Even the man with something to
sell takes advantage of the Napoleon
1c legend and commends his goods as
OF Napoleonic supremacy. Then we
also have Napoleons of politics, Ma
poleons of finance, Napoleons of sports
and Napoleons of business.
Is 1t not strange that practical men
should eXalt the sayings and doings
of Napoleon Bonaparte. If there ever
was practical man he was one. Not
shread of idealism about him. To
him religion was a matter of geo.
graphy, woman was child-bearer and
nothing more, men were cannon-fod-
der, good roads were built not for
peaceful wayfarers but for the con-
venient transit of troops, titles were
trinklets wherewith to regard hire
lings, battles were to be fought so
that clusters of captured flags might
be sent to applauding Paris, and Eu-
rope was to be occasionally deluged
with blood to fertilize his family tree.
Glory was the God of this practical
man.
In another sense, however, he was
extremely impractical. In the first
place he misconceived the spirit of the
age in which he lived. Mrs. Parting
ton trying to sweep back the Atlantic
Ocean with broom did not, it must
be admitted, meet with success az
great as his in trying to stem the tide
Of democracy. But in the end his
labor was about as frutile as that of
Sydney Smiths heroine. For the
trend was and still is toward democ-
racy.-Boston Globe.

Moving Pictures for Educational Pur-

The moving picture is now applied
to educational purposes. Chemical
tests are now exhibited on the screen.
There are films illustrating the cleo
trolysis of water, action of nitric acid
or silver, and action of aqua regia on
metallic gold, etc. The test tube Is
thrown on the screen many times en-
larged, and the chemical action is
clearly illustrated. Most unsavory
but educational is a film illustrating
the peril Of the fly. The flies are
shown laying eggs in unsavory places,
and before the eyes of the spectators
the eggs develop in heaps of wrig-
Cling maggotS. In the final stage the
winged fly is shown IN all it's unsani-
tary glory. Still another film eXhib-
it's the acrobatic fly lying on its back
Juggling various articles with its
feet and even swinging dumb-bell
as large as the insect itself.
Until a few years ago, all public
coal lands were valued uniformly at
rate of $40 or SO an acre, according
IL they lie less or more than 15 miles
from railroad. Since July, 1906, the
government has been appraising its
coal land according to the value of its
contained coal. The present value
fixed for the government coal land,
based on the new regulation, Is $149,-
772,443; the value fixed for these same
coal lands before the new classical
ton was adopted was $48,240,971.
According to these figures, it is evil
dent, therefore, that IL these lands had
been sold at the prices prevailing be-
fore July, 1906, they would have
brought the government about $780,
100000 less than their value at the
prices now fixed.
