This magazine for March is before us. With it comes the usual ready printed edi- torial notice "for the convenence' of country editors. Attached thereto, is this very decided paragraph;

 Our exchange list is very large, and under the circumstances we require a monthly notice of the "Overland" from every paper. You will, therefore, oblie e us by sending your paper containing said notice, so that we may not do you an in- justice by cutting you off our list.

 This is very kind m The Overland, and we shall not take it as any very "unkind' cut if they proceed 10 omit THE CITIZEN from its list of exchanges. There is hardly any limit to the ''cheek" of city publishers of every grade of periodical, and the average country journal helps c1l- tivate that same cheek. The sooner the country papers stop this course, the soon- CT will they become respected by the city bummers, and now and then get pay for such advertising. Instead of printing the monthly, gushing notices of The Over land, prepared by it's editor, we have once

 in two months given the magazine as favorable mention as its merits would bear; and did this more to aid Pacific Coast magazine than for copy of It. In doing this we have paid several prices for it each year; and ii will be no answer to say that our notices brought it little patronage, for our space is worth certain price-if not to The Overland for other purposes. Single copies of The Over land per year are S4 and it is worth S3.- 75 to publish their notice of the March number in THE CITIZEN. What little of The Overland we need, we eau buy much cheaper With cash than by printing it's own puffs or onr own moderate estimates of its worth every two months.

 We don't charge The Overland anything for this notice, but simply recommend it 10 Its consideration and also to the at tention of country editors. If The Over land should carry out its threat and slash es its knife around and cuts THE CITIZEN from its exchange list, we'll not regard it as any injustice, bnt rather as an act for our relief-as legislators entitlc certain appropriation bills.

He Falls Ninety Feet on the ksoeHs'


Robt. Frazer, policeman was shot
and killed at Nashville, Tenn. Friday,
by a colored man named Joe Reed.
Reed was whipping his wife, and some
neiahbors sent for Officer Frazer, who
hurried to Reeds residence. AS he
entered the door and remarked to Reed
that he would have to arrest him, Reed
shot him twice in the mouth and
through the head, killing him instant
". Reed attempted to escape, but
was captured and hurried to jail The
excitement was intense, and the jailer
took every precaution to keep him Sc
cure from mob violence. Frazer was
very popular and universally esteemed.


THE PEOPLE EXCITED.


The excitement over the killing of
Frazer on Friday grew more and more
intense during the afternoon and ev-
ening and eliminated at half-past
eight Friday night in large, excited
crowd gathering in front of the Jail
and demanding the keys from the Jail

up. They then Immediately attacked
the building, forced an entrance, and
at half past ten O'clock, after forcing
open four heavy iron doors, succeeded
in reaching the cell In which the negro
was confined, the doorof which was
broken open.


TIE LYNCHINU.


Reed was seized, a rope fastened
around his neck and hurried to the Sus-

Do NOT EAT RAW EGGS.-One OF
the most common prejudices of
housewives and mothers is that
hard eggs are difficult to digest,
especially the white, and that the
less they are boiled the better they
are for weak and dyspeptic stom-
achs. The. reverse is the case, as
there is more danger of raw and
soft white OF an egg passing through
the digestive apparatus without be-
ing really digested than when thor
oughly boiled and hard; in fact then
it constitutes most excellent food
for dyspeptics, as experience is
proving. A writer in the Medtcdt
Journal says: "We have seen dys-
peptics who have suffered untold
torments with almost every kind OF
food. No liquid could be taken
without suffering; bread became a
burning acid; meat and milk were
solid and liquid fires. We have
seen these same sufferers trying to
avoid food and drink and even
going to the enema syringe tor sus-
tenance. And we have seen their
tormentS pass away ana Inelr nun
ger relieved by living upon the
white of eggs which had been boiled
in bubbling water for about thirty
minutes. At the end of the week
we have given the hard yoke Of the
egg with the white, and upon this
diet alone, without fluid OF any
kind, we have seen them begin to
gain flesh and strength and refresh
ing sleep. After weeks of this treat
ment they have been able, with care,
to begin upon other food" And all
this, the writer adds, without taking
medicine. He says, what we also
have always maintained, that hard
boiled eggs are not half so bad as
half boiled ones, and ten times as
easy to digest as raw eggs; and we
have no doubt that an animal may
be starved to death by eating only
the raw white of an egg, for the
same reason that dogs have been
starved by eating gelatin alone.
Only toothless babies can digest soft
food, such as -Mdnutact,trer
and Builder.

Louisville the grandest concert ever

brilliant successes which have charac-

Following is from g Boston paper:

 An intelligent letter writer in Italy points to the fact that public opinion in that country is tending more and more strongly toward the seculsrization of the schools and the complete cx clusion of ecclesissticism from popular education. Four years ago no schools existed in Rome which were not under the control of the clergy; today there are in that city more than twelve thou sand children in the public schools, which are conducted by tEe civil authorities without the assistance of the church. This is an extraordinary exhibit in & city which is the centre Of the power which Is striving in this country to place the public schools un der sectarian authority, and il contains a valuable lesson. For if the Roman population, which is almost wholly attached to the church, decides, after the prolonged experience of the results of entrusting education solely 10 tho clergy, that the system is a bad one, there would seem to be very great reason why we should regard the ex pertinent as one which ought not tn bc permitted here under any circum stances.
