Three Negroes have added TO the
lynch list this week in Georgia.
South Carolina and Arkansas for
the usual alleged accusation at
tempting to assault and assaulting
white women. In Arkansas the
charge was killing white farmer.
The barbarism of certain white
factions OF this country continue
to exist, and it is demonstrated
when in order to wreak vengeance

sheriff was mortally wounded and
six other persons were reported
killed. Keep up mob rule and you

New York, June 12.-The steam
ship Liberia, chartered by Chief
Sam and the Akin Trading COM
pany, which sailed from Calves
ton early in 1914 as the announced
forerunner of a widely heralded
"back to Africa movement, is re-
ported as having been picked up
by an English cruiser and taken
into Dakar, on the west African
coast. Word of the Liberia was
brought here today by Bishop
Isaiah B. Scott, Negro bishop for
Africa of the Methodist Episcopal
church, who was a passenger on
the steamship Buenos Aires, from
Spanish ports. Chief Sam and
twelve of his disciples, selected
from about 800 of his followers
who had gethered at Galveston
ready to sail for Africa as a COM
missioner to "spy OUT the land,
are now scattered among African
coast cities, the bishop said.
1.-THE movement to take Ameri-
can Negroes back to Africa is a
failure" said Bishop Scott. "Jn
the first place, Africa is no place
for them, and again, the British
government does not encourage
such immigration" Pedro II.
Gomez, former major in the Mex
lean army under Gen. Victoriano
Huerta, was passenger on the
Buenos Aires. He said he was
going to visit General Huerta
here Twenty school teachers
who have been working for several
years in the public schools in the
Philippines also were on the boat.

FRIDAY Wins Race-Other Items.

Julius Woodruff, rural free delivery
carrier, returned home Saturday eve
ming from the annual convention of
rural carriers held at Detroit, Mich,
last week. This morning Mr.. Wood
ruff related a thrilling experience
= which occurred at his hotel in Detroit
on Thursday at a. M. when a vain
attempt was made to rob T. P. Cam
eron Of Ohio, treasurer of the, con-
vention, who had a room directly un-
derneath the one occupied by the
local man. gE ~."
According to Mr. Woodruff he was
peacefully slunnb ering after strenu-
Gus day. Suddenly five Shots fired
one after another awoke him as we'll
as the 500 other delegates who were
staying at Hotel fuller Thrusting
his head out of the window to learn
the cause Of the disturbance, Mr..
Woodruff saw three masked men
making hurried exit from the build
ling. Without the least warning their
pistols blazed away panic almost
took place among the guests.
After the excitement had subsidized 1t
was learned by the local delegate that
three masked robbers had made an un-
successful attempt to rob the treas
urer, who had several thousand dol
lars in his possession with which he
was to pay, the delegates their ex-
penses. A vigilant Waterman saw the
intruders as. they were trying to gain
an entrance to the room of the treas
urer and fired at the men. 1.-THE rob-
bers retaliated and about dozen
shots were exchanged No one was
hurt The only clue left by the men
rs a hat and it is doubtful # the iden-
tity of the would be-robcer- will ever
be learned.
During the ten years that Carrier
Woodruff has been representing this
state as delegate he has travelled nc
less than $4,000 miles and has visited
thirty-four states in the union. J
F. O'Keefe Of Middletown was tbs
~other delegate from this state.
This years convention says the To-
cal carrier was very interesting. Con
siderable important business was
transacted and all officers were re-
elected with the exception Of the
treasurer. Thursdays session die
not adjoin until o'clock FridaJ
morning because of the large amount
of business that was on hand. While

tried to awaken the unwelcome guest
but his efforts were in vain. How
ever, with the assistance of several
neighbors, the man was finally arous-
ed and ordered away.
The man was a foreigner and had
evidently attended one of the numer-
Gus picnics held in this town yes
terday and had imbibed too freely.
When last seen he was winding his
way with uncertain steps towards
New Britain where he claimed he
resided.

Chautauqua Week Near
Continued from page l.

the National Lincoln Chautauqua System
said recently that this company is fully
equal in it's interpretations of classical
plays to the company now appearing
with Maude Adams excepting Miss
Adams herself. Elias Day, who produced
the company, says of them:
ut has long been my ambition to offer
to the lyceum public company capable
of giving some of our greatest English
dramas. With this in view have been
carefully selecting members for such a
company and now present the Arden
Drama Company.
'Their offering this season will be the
Tanning of the Shrew. or as it perhaps
is more generally kown, katherine and
Petruchio'. Many people who have only
read Shakespeare, or have seen only his
heavier tragedies do not realize that
our greatest dramatist also wrote COM
edies brimful of fun and humor. The
Tanning of the Shrew' is comedy in
the truest sense of the word. Shakes
peare took theme as old as the world
itself; he found his situations and story
ready to hand in medieval Italian
comedy, and he wrote it in direct
fashion, with more of workmanship
than he has put into any of his other
farces. Without question it will serve
to the end of time as the best possible
stage expression of the sure appeal
made to human laughter when femin-
inc termagant is subdued.
1.-The William Winter cutting, first
used by Edwin Booth, has been used
in this production. All students of
Shakespeare agree that this is the best
adaptation of the comedy and are de-
lighted with the brilliancy of the lines
which seem to stand out insteadof be-
ing lost as in the several plots Of the
old play.
1.-THE Arden Drama Company will be
costumed historically and richly. They
will play their parts according to the
best methods of modern acting, follow
ing the tradition wherever possible. At
all times they will carry out the spirit
and enjoyment given them in the lines.
The cast has been carefully chosen and
several times re-arranged in order to
produce the most harmonious effects.
The leading parts will be played by
young people who have had experience
in other Shakespearian companies. The
company has been in training for nearly
year. This production has been care
fully planned and staged. We feel sure
that ever student, every man and every
woman who wants good entertain
ment full of laughter will enjoy the
Tanning of the Shrew."

Milk COndenseTy Destroyed
Continued from page y

what might have been misfortune
promised to be an advantage. A sure
sale for the milk was provided; there
was fifteen thousand dollars worth of it
on hand. and the irony of fate was dis
closed on the day following the fire
when telegram was received ordering
the milk to be shipped. 1t was to have
gone to Sweden and thence, it is
thought, to Germany. The factory
was just being put upon solid paying
basis, each month showing a substan-
tial profit, when the disastrous fire
came as final and insurmountable dis
aster.
The loss will be, as nearly as we can
learn, about $40, 600, with insurance of
$40, 00o. 90, 100000 of which was on
the power plant which was saved The
monthly pay roll for milk was approx
mately $14, 10000, and as this account
was about month and half in arrears.
81, 900 90 or more will be required to
settle it. The haulers, seventeen in
number, drew about 81, 10000 a month
and the factory employees, of whom
there we're seventeen, $500 a month.
There is owing to the employees about
81, 800. Against these items and other
current debts of the company, will be
a snail portion of the insurance, the
bills receivable and the value of what
is left of the plant. which together, it
is hoped, will nearly cover the liabili-
ties. The original investment in the
plant itself appears to be total loss.
Mr.. Wolohan, as was expected by all
who know of his unfailing business in
tegrity, has announced that all of the
Pa rols of factory will be paid. dollsr
very much to his credit and doubtless
viii be fully appreciated. Messrs.
Wolohan and Wright, the latter of
whom lost practically his entire capital
in the fire, are certainly deserving of
considerable sympathy. A suit was re-
Gently started, and is now pending in
the circuit court, to dispossess the
other stockholders, Messrs. Doyle and
Tinker. so that Messrs. Wright and
wolohan may be considered to have
bees the sole owners of the property.
On Monday. following the fire, repre-
sentatives of the Detroit Creamery Co
were in town and opened negotiations,
which are still pending, looking to the
purchase of the plant. This company
owns a condensary at Brighton, very

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Wednesday afternoon, the
High School students enjoyed Com
munity singing. 1t was great sue
cess and they all hope they have more
of it.
School adjourned last Wednesday
for the regular Thanksgiving vaca-
ton, which the students spent in
various ways. About forty of the
boys went to Eau Claire for the Older
Boys Conference, and about ten of
the girls went to Oshkosh, for the
Older Girls Conference. The boys
report that there were very few Osh-
kosh boys at Eau Claire, because they
remained at home, to entertain the
girls. Both boys and girls report a
fine time. The many absences on
Monday were probably due to this.
This noon the students received
their report cards for the second six
weeks term Of the semester. Words
to this effect were heard on all sides.
"When fellow needs a friend"
"Gee, but I'll have to work a lot
harder these last six weeks" The
teachers heard this from all sides
