NEGRO LYNCnED FOR
 CRIMINAL ASSAULT

Saturday afternoon about two o'clock. a negro named Abraham Denson went to the home of Jim Tyner near Azor and committed an assault upon his wife. There were two other ladies a t h e home when the negro went there but could give no assistance.
 After committing the assault the negro started for the woods and as soon as posse could be formed search was begun. Some where near two o'clock the negro was discovered in the woods a. bout two miles from the Tyner home where he committed the as sault and was arrested by Con- stable Tom Phillips. The negro was carried before squire Nit chell, of Parker township, and on account of the absence of some witnesses it was decided to post pone the trial until today.
 Constable Phillips carried the negro home and placed him in a room. While the family were eating supper about 15 men, names unknown, went to the Phil lips house and demanded the ne- gro. MT. Phillips refused to give the negro up and was immediate ly overpowered. The mob then proceeded to the place where the crime was committed and the as saulted lady recognized the pris- oner as the one who had com mitted the crime.
 The negro was carried a sho Tt distance from the house, strung to a tree and his bouy riddled with bullets. The crowd dis persed and while at the time the crime was first discov- cred, great excitement prevailed, but after the negro had been kill . ed there seemed to be a general

Contest Closes Tomorrow

Tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock the contest closes. The standing Saturday night, shows there is enough votes out to win the pia. no for the lowest contestant should they be fortunate enough to secure a landslide.
 When 1 started this contest, people that lived here told me that while I didn't have a large number, I had the best mer- chants in the county with me, and they have stayed with me Loyalty. It paid them to adver> tise because their business was such that they could deliver the goods. Quite few dropped out leaving me with the bag to hold. While it was easily apparent to me that I couldn't expect to more than break even a month ago, I continued ;to spend money to make it pay those in the con. test better.
 There are always people to criticise contest and the way it is managed. but they are those that havn't a cent invested in it or wouldn't invest in 1t.
 As previously stated, no one should enter contest to win un- less they could stand to lose.
 Thanking the merchants and contestants and wishing them all a most Happy Christmas and a Prosperous New Year, 1 am

ROPE FOR ALPINE CLIMBERS
It 10 Of Special Manufacture and Com.
blnes Strength, FIexIbiIIty and
LIqhtness.

The rope used by Alpine climbers
Is of special manufacture, combining
as far al possible the differing quail
ties Of strength, fexibility and light
ness. Three qualities are in general
use, being made from Sisal, Italian
and Manila hemps respectively, and
occasionally, when cost is not consid
cred, Of silk. The latter, though very
light and strong, is not 80 durable
as the others. That which finds most
favor among British mountaineers II
known az Buokingham's Alpine rope;
It IL made Of the best Manila hemp
In the year 1884, Mr.. McLeish re
calls, committee of the Alpine club
made tests upon number of ropes
suitable for mountaineering. OF the
two that were approved one was
made of Italian hemp and the other
of Manila. They both had a break
ing strain of two tons and sustained
the weight Of twelve stone man
after falling from height of ter
feet. Non-mountaineers have some
times considered this insufficient, but
it is highly problematical whether the
human anatomy could survive the
sudden compression of thin rope
arising from any greater fall.-Fry's
