information of the Negroes pres
ence in Morgan became known, and
almost Immediately rumors were cur
rort that he would be lynched that
night. Judge Park, hearing of these
minors put a guard of twelve men
~ the Jail to protect the prisoner.
Mob Came in Squads.
About 1 o'clock the mob began to
arrive in squads of ten or twelve in
ouiet and orderly manner. Judge
Park was notified at the hotel OF
their presence, and hurriedly dress
inc FASTENED to the jail and made
an earnest plea that the law be al
lowed to take it's course, stating that
Loyett would be put on trial at once.
His appeals were without effect upon
the determined men, and they pro-
cepded to carry out their bloody
work.
Failed to Get Keys.
They demanded of Deputy Sheriff
W L. Calhoun, who was in charge
Of the guards, the keys to the jail,
and on being refused they attacked
the officer for the purpose Of taking
them away from him. Deputy Cal

and also was cut on the hip and arm
when his pocket was being ripped
open for the keys.
The mob then gained entrance
through the outer door of the JAIL

was secured by one of the guards and
carried away.

The mob was not to be outdone'
however. They located Lovett in a
cell with nine other prisoners, and
shot him through the bars.
They could not identify Lovett,
and it was not until they threatened
and were almost in the act of begin
ming a fusilade on every one in the
cell that his fellow prisoners pointed
him out huddled under some bedding
in a corner. His body was quickly
riddled with bullets, and the lynchers
dispersed as quietly and as orderly
as they came.

1t is somewhat remarkable that
with so many, prisoners in the cell
all but Lovett escaped injury.

FIX VALUE OF HUMAN LIFE
In England, II Would Seem, 1t Is APP
praised at the Sum
of 500.

English editorial writer's, grayely
commenting on the slight value attach
ing to human life in Mexico, quite
overlooked couple OF cases which
we're reported in the columns devoted
to local news. The first case which
failed to receive the attention of the
editorial writer's was that OF Moor
house, the well known aviator, who
was fined 500 and costs for killing
a carter by the reckless driving of an
automobile.
The other case was that of a school
teacher, twenty-seyen years old, who
had been teaching school for ten
years. Her salary was $50 year In
order to support herself and her moth
er she has had to exc out her salary
by working as a waitress In restau-
rant. Recently a member OF the school
committee recommended that the
teachers salary should be increased to
800 a year The committee has not
yet acted on the recommendation.

RICH GIRLS AS DRESSMAKERS
All Except Seven In a Fashionable
Brooklyn School Made Their
Graduation Gowns.

Acting on the principle that as they
have plenty of money they may spend
it as lavishly and showily as they
wish, seven ont of forty~two girl pu-
pills of the wealthiest public school in
Brooklyn refused TO be graduated in
any but costly lace trimmed and
charmeuse gowns. The others were
content, In a movement to curb ex-
travagance n dress in graduation ex.
ercises in the public schools, to ap-
pear in dresses they made themselves.
Because the other thirty-five girls,
many of them also of well-to-do fam
lilies, wore the self-made gowns, the
Mothers club of the school gave each
silver medal emblematic of the oc-
casion and their efforts to further the
movement.
Heretofore the graduation exercises
have been noted for the magnificence
and costliness of the gowns Of the
well-to-do girl graduates, which often
shone in brilliant contrast to the gar.
ments of the girls OF lesser wealthy
parents who attended.-New York

DEATH OF A WELL
KNOWN CITIZEN.
Mrs. Harriet c. Baker Passed Away en-
Wednesday Evening, June A, 1918.

Mrs. Harriet c.. Baker died at her
home in this city, at l07 Grant street,
last Wednesday evening after a long
and painfGi illness. She had reached
the age of 80 years and up to year
or SO ago was, and always had been,
very active A life of nearly sixty
years in Wausau had made her name
familiar to everybody and she was the
possessor of very large circle of
friends. Throughout the pioneer
days of Wausau, when it was a must
ling numbering town, it contaired no
buster or better informed woman of
business than Mrs. Baker. She was
early left with family of small chill
dren by the death of her husband,
and the property left in her hands
was kept intact and increased in
wealth by her excellent management.
Her keen business sagacity and excel
lent judgment was characteristic of
her throughout her life She was
just as energetic in other ways; in
church and charitable work, she ac-
complished great good; she was one of
Wausaus pioneer women who was
able to do things. With all her null
tiplicity of duties she was always a
deep student and did more or less
writing. At the age of 56 years she
took up painting and became an artist
of considerable ability. In the spring
of 1891, when President and Mrs. Har-
rison were on their western trip, they
stopped in Pueblo, Col. A commit
tee of women wished to present Mrs.
Harrison some souvenir of the place
and called for paintings of natural
scenery. Twelve different ones were
submitted and one of the native cac.
tus in blossom, painted by Mrs. Bak-
er, was selected and given to Mrs
Harrison. Later, Mrs. Baker received
a personal letter of appreciation from
| Mrs. Harrison, written by herself, at
the executive mansion, on stationery
so engraved and signed, every truly,
Caroline S. Harrison" Mrs. Baker
painted many pieces of worth, mostly
| of flowers from nature.
The National Magazine, published
in Boston, Mass, in 1904, gave prizes
for best articles in poetry and prose.
Mrs. Baker won one of the prominent
prizes and the PILOT DubIiSheS the
poetry written by her at that time,
which gives the reader an insight into
the character of one of the truly re-
markable women in our city's history:

MOTHERS BOYS.

Yes, | know there are stains on my carpet,
The traces of small rubber boots
And see your fair tapestry glowing,
All Spotless with flowers and fruits.
And | know that my walls are disfigured
With prints of small fingers and hands
And that your own household most truly
In immaculate purity stands.
And | know that my parlor Is Uttered
With many treasures and toys.
While your own is in dantieSt order,
Unframed by the presence of boys.
And know that my room is invaded
Quite boldly all hours of the day
While you sit in yours unmoleSted
And dream the soft quiet away.
Yes. | know there are four little bedsideS
Where must stand watchful each night,
While You may go out in your carriage,
And fash in your dresses so bright.
Now. think I'm neat little woman
And like my house orderly, too
And I'm fond of my dainty belongings.
Yet would not change places with you.
No keep your fair home with its order,
Its freedom from bother and noise
And keep your own fanciful leisure,
But give me my four splendid boys. "
