FEAR.
A Dreadful Quality that Prevents
Achievement.

Was there anything ever done b!
one who was afraid?
Would Columbus have made hi:
discovery of the New World if he hac
been burdened with dark forebod
ings?
Would the gospel ever have beer
preached to the remotest carts of tht
world if the missionary had feared
his mission?
Would there have been a United
States if the signers of the Declara
tion of independence had feared fol-
their lives, as we'll they might?
Would the railroads have crossed
the continent and pierced the desert
and would our captains of industry
have had the courage of their convic-
tions, in building our industries s-the
wonder of the world in size, output
and wages-if they had been timid
while risking millions?
Was a battle ever won by a gen
eral who feared? Was ever a great
cause vindicated by one without q
strong heart and undying hope? Was
ever a prize secured by competitor
who did not enter the race believing
/,
Is anything mere contemplate
than cowardice? Is anything more
noble than courage? Is anything
more childish than fear, or anything
sweeter than confidence in an age OF
unrest, unreason, suspicion and dis
turbance?
Let us turn from the dismal
swamps and lift up our eyes to the
hills. Let hope inspire and courage
strengthen and the battle will be
won.
This is the lesson to teach the chill
dren in our schools, to tell the patient
toiler at his work, to speak to the
anxious business man at his desk, to
impress upon the preacher in his pull
pit and the counselor in the hall of
legislation.
And a faint heart never won a fair
Weekly.

JAM BOTTLE ROUTS.
Five Men Take Flight When Woman
HurlS the Preserves.

Mrs. Jacob Feeley, of Clinton, n.
j., saved two young girls and put to
rout five men with no weapon other
than a bottle of preserves, says The
New York American.
The girls, both of whom are mem
bers of respected families of Clinton,
were returning from a visit in Lake
view. AS they walked along Walling-
ford avenue toward their home, Mrs.
Feeley, returning from a sick friends g
bedside, was block behind them.
Suddenly she heard screams and
saw five men leap from the shrubbery
near the Maybury estate. The men
seized the girls and with the latter
struggling desperately, dragged them
from the walk.
I'm coming. I'm coming! Fight
them. Fight them.' cried Mrs. Feel
ey, running as fast as she could and
unwrapping a bottle of preserves as
she ran.
With the neck of the bottle clenched
in her hand, she sprang through the
shrubbery.
Four Of the men fled Immediately,
but one of the girls was holding the
fifth one, Mrs. Feeley set upon him
- ha
bottle broke and bespattered the man
with its contents, and he, thinking he
was wounded, yelled in fright and
scampered off.
The police sent out general alarm
for two young men, who. the girls
said, were among the five assailants.

CLAIMS OF NEGREss REJECTED
Lucinda Anderson Cannot Share In

Chicago, Sept 26.-The claims of
Lucinda Anderson. the negro woman,
who contended that she was the Wild
ow of William Henry Lee, publisher,
who died recently, leaving no will
and without disclosing the secret of
his past, to-day we're eliminated from
the contest over the remnants of
Lees fortune
The Probate court dismissed her
petition for leave to submit proof OF
heirship, deciding that she had failed
to make a sufficient showing. A wit
ness testified that Lee had said he
had never married because of negro
blood in his veins.

TRAIN MARKED WITH BULLETS.
Passengers Badly Frightened by
Shooting at Harrison.

New Orleans, Sept 2S.-The va
zoo, and Mississippi Valley train
which stopped at Harrison, Miss,
through part Of the time OF the
slaughter there this morning. arrived
here to-day bringing many badly
scared passengers. Windows in the
train showed evidence of the firing
of the two negro desperadoes, who
caused the death of nine persons
within a few hours.
L. D. Jarvis, of Newellton, La, was
in the sleeping car, left to await the
through train coming to New Orleans.
The firing awakened him and he got
out in time to see Conductor Appleby
and Flagman Bond shot.
NO one on our car could tell who,
why or how many were shooting and
all remained mighty close to their
berths," said Mr.. Jarvis.
I'VE let only one small light burn
after the train that brought us to
Harriston left. When the through
train arrived the shooting still was
in progress and it seems as if none
of the trainmen cared to find our
sleeper, which was almost dark. Our
car had not been left where it usually
is. Instead of the trainmen coming
out to find where we we're, they un-
coupled their engine and ran it onto
two side tracks before they found us.
Ii was very dark. The trainmen said
they would take no chances in the
open. We learned very littl, of the
real trouble until We got to New Or
leans as nearly every one in Harris
ton seemed to be fighting or in hid
ing"
Governor Brewer, of Mississippi
left here for Harriston this after
noon.
Order for Troops.
Jackson, Miss, Sept. 2S.-When
the call for troops came from Harris
ton, Miss, where aid was needed to
capture two negro desperadoes, Gov
ernor Brewers secretary ordered the
Natchez company of State Guard to
proceed at once by special train. The
train left Natchez at $50 o'clock. No
other troops were ordered to Harris
ton, but Col. E. B. Baker, quarter
master of the State Guard, went to
Harriston on special train, bearing
ammunition for the Natchez Guards.
Governor Brewer was in New Or
leans today.

from the seed house brought down
Gillis.
BY this time the countryside had
been aroused and farmers came pour
ing in from every direction. Everyone
opened fire on the seed house.
A call was sent to Governor Brewer
for troops.
One of Desperadoes Lynched.
Finding his hiding place too pre-
carious Will Jones started to run
towards a coal chute nearby, but had
gone only few steps when bullet
ended his life. A rope was placed
around the body, it was strung up to
telegraph pole near the scene and
became a target for everyone not
shooting at the seed house.
Soon after Will was killed Walter,
with deadly aim, picked Tom Weeks,
a negro, off the coal chute. Either the
bullet wound or the fall would have
killed him.
Not long after Weeks was killed
the special train bearing the Natchez
Guardsmen arrived and this seemed
to have cowed the desperate. AS they
were detraining the crowd rushed the
seed house. Not shot greeted them,
and as the leaders went into the
place with drawn weapons they saw
Jones completely unnerved but not
injured. They quickly placed rope
around his neck and rushed to the
coal chute.
Rope Breaks too Soon.
The rope was too small and as the
negro was drawn up the rope broke
and he fell heavily to the ground. Not
a word or act of protest came from
Jones as a larger rope was drawn
around his neck and rushed him to
the coal chute.
pulled up-and the crowd looked on
as the drug-saturated body writhed
until life was extinct.
The crowd then went to the home
of the negroes, where they found two
negro men, and were about to lynch
them, but were dissuaded by officers.
1t seems certain that the Jones ne
groes had planned details of their
murderous night, as they were we'll
armed and had plenty of ammunition.
Their mother said one of them had
remarked that he was going to shoot
up" the town, but she thought he
was Joking. Whether the two negroes
found there and who were arrested

Militia Returns Home.
AS there was no evidence that
there would be more trouble after
Walter Jones was lynched the Nat
chez Guardsmen returned home.
Generally the negro population was
as much incensed at the Jones broth
ers as were the whites. They felt
no Indignation at the lynching to-
night. The two bodies still were
hanging in the coal chute and prob
