Fifty lots were sold at the Chautau-

the sale was thrown open to the pub

the time, and the statesmen were kept
busy the whole forenoon. Secretary
Myrick says that the tents will proba-

up will start Wednesday morning.
The work on the grounds is progress
ing well and everything will be ready
in plenty time for the opening.

A BUSINESS. REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

The pivotal element in business and
vest. Wednesdays Government report
was somewhat of a disappointment. in
asmuch as 1t indicated wheat crop OF
80, 0O0, 900 bushels less than a year ago
and a corn crop of 500, 00O. 900 bushels
below last year. This is probably the
worst that can happen. and there is
good reason to accept this estimate
with reserve. Since these returns
We're made there has been consider
able improvement in the crop situa-
ton. and while il would be foolish to
now anticipate as good wheat and
corn crops as last year. still the situa-
ton is by no means serious and the
harvest of these two important crops
is quite likely to reach the average.
There is every reason to anticipate a
very fair yield of corn. and the dete-
rioration OF o.O00, 900 bushels is not
going to prove very important mat
ter. especially as some portions OF the
country have considerably increased
their acreage In this cereal Nor is
the loss in oats SO grave matter
since the automobile has so largely
superseded the horse. Some compen-
sation for shrinkage in the cereal
crops will be found in a larger cotton
crop. The price of the latter has fall
en- in consequence; and in view of the
large yield results should prove sat
isfactory to the grower and prove an
immense benefit to the country
through the heavier exports of this
staple which will inevitably follow a
good yield. For some time past the
riously interfered with by the excess
i've price of cotton. and this great in
dustry should receive much benefit by
a return of cotton to a more normal
level. At home the cotton goods in
dustry has been further embarrassed
by tariff agitation, and any relief
through cheaper cotton would be most
welcome to all concerned.
Upon general business the present
crop situation can have no harmful ef-
feet. OF course, large yield of corn,
wheat and oats would have been very
beneficial and was much desired; yet
the fact that we are now almost sure
of average crops at good prices as
sures fair business conditions during
the next few months. The most Sc
rious interference with business at
present is the disturbed condition of
politics. Industry has been much de-
pressed by continued fruitless tariff
agitation and congressional investiga-
tons of industrial corporations There
is no prospect of any genuine tariff &C.
ton being taken this summer. The
sooner congress adjourns, therefore,
and stops talking, the better for itself

STORY OF HORROR

COATESVII.LE, Pa, Aug. IL
Quiet was restored here today after
the night of horror that accompanied
the burning of Ezekial Walker, the ne
gro who shot and killed Special OF.
,ficer Edgar Rice. The authorities
concentrated their efforts in running
down a number of strange men who
took a leading part in the mob of 400
white men and boys who carried Wal.
,ker. manacled to his cot in the Coates
willie hospital and burned both. All
the saloons in the town were closed
today. ,
Sheriff Colder and District Attorney
Gawthrop united in attempting to fix
the responsibility for the crime and
both declared that the ringleaders
would be arrested, but they are believ-
ed to have fled. Fears that the in
tense excitement might again break
Into violence led to the swearing in
Iof a number of special deputies. De-
spite mutterings of the part of the
negroes living In and near Coates
willie Sheriff Colder believed that the
local authorities had the situation
firmly in hand and that outside help
would not be needed.
Not a vestige of the negro's body re-
manned today as evidence of the terri
BILE vengeance which had been wrought
upon him. Body and cot were con-
numed to ashes which were picked up
ny the wind and carried away.
Stanley Howe. the policeman guard
ing Walker at the hospital, received
the congratulations of the law-abiding
element today for the struggle which
he put up to prevent his prisoner be-
ing carried away. Howe had many
bruises to show for the battle which
he put up. but the odds were too over
whelming.
Coatesville hospital also showed ev-
licences OF the mob's work. Windows
were broken and furniture smashed.
L Ter Iiowe's direction the attaches
attempted to barricade the building.
but were unable to keep out the at
tacking force. Some Of the patients
are In q serious condition as result
OF the panic which attended the
assault OF the mob.
The authorities believe that the
strangers who led the mob came into
Coatesville with the express purpose
Of stirring up trouble. They wore
masks and seemed to be prepared for
the violence which followed.
