FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 1897.

THE color of the 2-cent postage stamp is to be changed froin red to green.

THE New York Herald estimates that 26,000 more skilled laborers are employed now than at the same time last year. And the beauty of it is the number is aonstantly increasing.

IT costs something to keep a city clean, cut little in comparison with what it costs to keep it dirty. Nothing pays a city more in dollars and cents than an efficient health department.

PRESIDENT ANDREWS, of Brown University, has withdrawn his resignation, the tires of the Cosmopolitan University wheelB have been punctured, the weeds are dusty in both campuses, and a towering tempest in a tea pot has been stilled. All parties are well satisfied as they succeeded in working the newspapers for a magnificent lot of free advertising.

The Cincinnati Cumma-cial Tribune wants to know if Bryan will take silver dollars in payment for his speeches when he goes to Mexico. If he demands that they be counted on a gold basis he will have to take a box car along to carry them. At SI,500 a speech, and the dollars worth only forty cents, he would get 3,750 of them for each "oration."

The factional fight in the Republican ranks in Maryland being now over, there is good reason to hope that tho party will fall into line, and, with the aid of the gold Democrats and anti-Gorman men, win the fight for the Legislature. It is now generally conceded in Maryland that Gorman, say whatever he will, would vote with the silver men in the Senate. This being the case, the sound money Democrats in the State are inclined to again co-op-erate with the Republicans, as are also the strong element which can only be described by the term "anti-Gorman, j'

NOTHING has occurred in Indiana for many years so disgraceful as the lynching of five men at Versailles early Wednesday morning. The men had been arrested on a charge of burglary. The offense was no provocation for such lawlessness. Every man engaged in the lynching should be brought to the bar of justice and made to suffer the extreme penalties of violated law. All good citizens will therefore uphold the hands of the Governor in his endeavors to assist the local authorities in their efforts to ferret out the guilty parties. The good name of the State demands that no stone 6ball be left unturned until the disgrace, so far as possible, shall be wiped out.

No wonder the banks of Kansas are refusing deposits. The total value of the products of that State for 1897 is now estimated at §176,330,550, itemized as follows: Wheat, 55,700,000 bushels, 8-17,500,000 oats, 25,000,000 bushels, 85250,000 rye, 1.565,000 bushels, S7S'J,150 barley, 1,810,000 bushels, S1'J,500,000 grass, including nlfalfa, timothy, etc., 82,500,000 prarie grass, fenced, 1,700,000 millet, 52,730,000: Kallir corn, 83,500,000: Jerusalem corn, 5*0,000 milo maize, S(J3,000 butter, cheebe and milk, 8."),110,000 poultry and eggs sold, §3,909,000 animals slaughtered, and sold, 337,7^9,000: potatoes, 85,700 000: sweet potatoes, §225,000 castor beans, 820,000 hemp, 82,200 broom corn S3000,000 wool, 8145,000: wines, 890,000: hmey and beeswax, 550,000 wood. $110,000 horticultural products, 51.284,000. Total, 5175,336,350.

"SAV, boys," remarks tht, Louisville Courier-Journal, "sposen you change the deck? That free hilver packseem6 to be about played out. Why not try a wheat issue? If we can raise the value of sixteen ounces of silver to that of about forty ounces of silver, without tho aid or consent of any other nation on earth, why can't we raise the price of wheat to 52 a bushel without the aid or consent of any other nation on earth, without consulting the foreign market quotations, and1 without bothering about silver? And if we can thus raise the price of wheat, why not of corn and potatoes and eggs and everything else we want raised? All we have to do is to set in our stack and make the raise. 'What have we to do with abroad?'"

Farming by electricity is now a recognized fact. Electricity drives the plow, churn, thrasher, and other implements, and stimulates the sprouting and growing of some kinds of vegetation. And now, at Great Falls, in Montana, which is becoming the great wool-growing State, twenty machines for shearing sheep are arranged in a long, narrow shed, open on one side. A single line of shafting extends overhead, and from this twenty flexible cables fall. The shaft, by means of "universal joints," auses each cable to rotate, and the cable transmits its power to the clipper by means of similar connections. A man needs only to steer the clipper around. The blades work themselves. A small electricmotor of six horse-power drives the line of shafting. The motor is such as is used under a trolley car, and takes its current from a trolley line. The twenty machines operated for nearly three weeks and sheared 16.1S4 sheep, averaging nearly 100 sheep a day per machine.

THE Chicago Tribune calls attention to a matter that should interest every American citizen—the condition of Lincoln's tomb. The Tribune says:

The country will hear with surprise that the tomb of Abraham Lincoln at Springfield is neglected by the authorities of Illinois. Of course, the people of Illinois are not awake to this fact, they would demand immediate attention to the matter. The once splendid monument is in a dilapidated condition, and some of the masonry threatens to fall down. Rain penetrates the roof, and has discolored the ceilings and walls. The walls leading to the tomb are out of repair, and when a visitor is taken inside he hears an apology for the numerous evidences of comiug ruin. It is absurd to suppose that the State of Illinois finds the proper care of this great National landmark burdensome. The thousands of patriotic citizens who contributed to it never thought of such a possibility. There has been official and legislative neglect of the monument and it has become disgraceful. It can not be remedied too quickly for the credit of those whom the people will hold responsible.

Margeret Kinaman has filed suit for divorce from Alexander ICinaman, to whom she was married thirty-five years ago.

JACKSON IN A PANIC

Mississippi's Capital City Depopu­

lated by Yellow Fever Fright.

GENERAL EMBARGO ON TRAVEL

Citlzcnt* K'fil Tlicy Have Itaen Djicolved as to the Mature of tho Disease—Forty Cases ui uuwards and Two Hundred

Sick at Touro—.Sit nation at New Orleans Improving.

JACKSON, Hiss., Sept. 10.—The state capitol depopulated, its business houses closed its newspapers suspended seven cases of yellow l'ever officially announced at its very doors, with many suspected cases at various points an embargo on tho railroads of the state and grave apprehensions that the dread disease has obtained a foothold in numerous places of the state wild alarm everywhere. Such is the conditions existing in tho middle, western and northern portions of the state yesterday. Tho worst fears of the medical fraternity and the public have been realized and the prevailing disease at Edwards has been pronounced yellow fever. The state board of health has laid a general embargo on travel except out of the state by means of an order promulgated late yes tenia j- and addressed to all lines of transportation. Travel from infected places is absolutely barred. The bright side of the situation is that tho disease is of a very mild type. The exodus from this city which began in a small way several days ago, has attained unprecedented proportions. While tho state board advises all who can to leave, tho railroads say they can handle the largest crowds. The most rigid local quarntin prevails hero.

Forty Cases at Kdwards. '$$0.

l'irst the cases wore reported as main il tuver, then after a time they became dengue fever. Another wait and they were pronounced suspicious and finally declared to be the genuine yellow jack. During all this time the disease lias been spreading rapidly at the rate of tivo or six new cases daily until there are now -10 cases in existence at Edwards. The evolution of the disease from malarial to yellow fever was such that the ptople now regard dengue as simply a more convenient term than yellow fever.

S K\V OULKANS.

Situation Said to Have Improved—Twenty Cases Reported. Ni:\v Oiu.KAXs, Sept, 1(.—At the close of the day's investigation by the board of health last night the lever situation, so far at least as New Orleans is concerned, was considered to have materially improved and there was less anxiety than at any time since Monday among the health officials, encouraging them to believe that by 110 means had they lost control of tho situation.

During yesterday there woro 20 cases reported to the board of health for investigation. Of these, two are still under investigation, two were reported as suspicious and as requiring further diagnosis. 14 were found to be harmless cases of fever aud two were pronounced genuine yellow fever.

Two Hundred Sick.

At Touro, there are some 200 sick people aud the utmost caution is being displayed in order to prevent any possible spread of the disease. Millions of gallons of water have been pumped through tlie streets and the general situation shows much improvmont. There is an increase in the number of cases at Ocean Springs. Conductor Johnson of the Louisville and Nashville, was stricken together with three others. One new case was reported, at Biloxi. It is that Rev. G. F. Emery, pastor of the Metliodish church, making three in his amity. 1 azoo City, Miss., has issued orders for a shotgun quarantine to be enforced. No trains art: allowed to stop except to exchange mails at the quarantine stations. No passengers are allowed to leave the train at all and all mail and express must be fumigated.

Slmt Out of Tennessee.

NASH VILLI:, Sept. l(i.—A11 additional quarantine order has been issued by the state board of health applying to Mobile, Now Orleans and all infected southern points and quarantining the entire state against them. Citizens hero are nut alarmed in tho slightest because past experience has shown this city is outside of the yellow l'ever district.

it.ipid J'roKH'ss of niftea.se Kcinarkahlo. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Advices received by Surgeon General Wyman of of Marine hospital service last night indicate the spread of yellow fever in Mississippi. Dr. Guiteras wires that the rapid progress of tho disease at Edwards and Mobile is remarkable.

OHIO BANKERS.

lirariford Klindes Delivers im Address |5elore the Assoeiation. TOLEDO, Sept. 10.—"Our relations as baukersandcitizens to financial reform," was the subject of an address by Bradford Rhodes, oditor of The Bankers' Magazine of Maniaroneek, N. Y., before the Ohio Bankers' association yesterday. To attain the supreme usefulness for the banking system of tho country, tho bankers themselves must convince the majority of tho people that it is for their interest to have the credit money issued by tho banks. "I would suggest that while every earnest man who thinks he has a good idea should not refrain from sending it to the committee of the monetary conference at Indianapolis now, as 1 understand working 011 a bill for presentation to the next congress, he should, whether iiis suggestion be adopted or not, refuse to allow his personal feeling to mako him an opponent of any measure that may be adopted by that committee provided it generally satisfies the demand for reform."

THURSTON'S" POSITION

He la Not Opposed to Hawaiian Annexation. WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Senator Thurston of Nebraska, who is in the city, was asked as to the truth of the report that he would oppose tho ratification 6f tho Hawaiian annexation treaty when it shall come up in the senate next session. "Nothing," replied the senator, "could be farther from the truth. I am now as I have been for years, au ardent annexationist and I shall do all that I cau tc promote tho approval of the treaty when it comes up. "I cannot imagine how tho supposition got abroad that I would pursue a contrary course unless it grew out of the fact that-1 have advocated tho abrogating of the existing reciprocity treaty which admits Hawaiian sugar free. That, position I took because of the fact that Nebraska is a beet sugar state and because our sugar conies into competition "with the Hawaiian article. But while this would continue to bo the case with Hawaii apart of tho United States there would be so many advantages of other kinds growing out of annexation that I would forego my opposition to free Hawaiian sugar in order to securo those benefits."

BROUGHT DOWN 31,000,000.

Sixty-Three Passengers Arrive ou the Kxeelsior From St. Miehaels. SAX FRANCISCO, Sept. 10. Tho steamer Excelsior, which sailed from St. Michaels, Alaska, 011 Aug. 14, last, but was compelled to put into Uiialaska for repairs on account of an accident to her propeller while at sea, arrived in port yesterday with 03 passengers and about $1,000,000 in treasure.

The miners are of the opinion that too much has already been said about the country and that too many are going into it unprepared. Frank Dinsmoro and A. Andrews are reported to have made at least §100,000 each during their stay in the Klondike region, but both decline to deny or affirm this report. Dinsmoro, who has spent 10 years in the Yukon country, says this is his first return to civilization in 11 years. They confirm the stories already published of the scarcity of provsions aud add their notes of warning to intending prospectors to slay away until summer.

HARD BLOW.

Professor Dorsey's Testimony :U ikes Matters Look Dark for Luetgert. CIIICAUO, feept. 10.—Tho prosecution in the Luetgert case is nearing its end. The evidence given yesterday weighed heavily against Luetgert and no more damaging testimony has been given against him than that of Professor George A. Dorsey of the Field Columbian museum, who was 011 the stand late yesterday. One of the bones found in the sausage factory was shown liini aud in the most positive manner and without a particle of hesitation he pronounced it to bo the upper portion of the left thigh bone of a woman. He said that the formation of the upper end of the bone proved without any question that it was tho femur of a woman. The state asked the question: "Could a solution of caustic potasli have produced the burnt effect you have pointed out 011 the bone?" The reply of the witness was emphatic and immediate. "I11 my judgment it could." The evidence was a hard blow Jto the defense and Luetgert scowled blackly at the witness.

FIVE WERE LYNCHED

Terrible Work of a Mob In Ripley

County, Ind.

CAUGHT BURGLARIZING A STORE

Tlirec of tlio Victims Killed Before Being Strung Up—Numerous Bobberies mill Other Outrages Caused the l'eoplo to Take tlie Law In Their Own Hands.

Governor MounL Acts.

VEKSAILLES, Ind., Sept. 10.—Tho bodies of fivo men hanging to an elm tree near tho jail met tho gaze of the citizens of this place yesterday morning. They were Clifford Gordon, Bort Andrews, Lyle Levi, William Jenkins and Honry Sliulter.

1

Versailles is tho county seat of Ripley county aud has about 800 population, is five miles from a railroad and has no telegraphic communications.

Tho sight of tho five bodies caused such a sensation in the city that it readily spread throughout the country and no occasion ever attracted such crowds to the city. For years southern Indiana has been afflicted with lawlass gangs. Tho railways and express companies broke up the depredations of these gangs along their lines and latterly they have preyed upon the citizens. ltroke the Keeord.

The citizens have taken tho law into their own hands in this locality before, but never to such an extent as yesterday. Tho lteno brothers were lynched together at Seymour, Ind., 20 years ago and the Archer gang, three in number, were strung up together at Shoals, Ind., 12 years ago. There have been numerous lynchings of one at a time, but the "job lot" of five yesterday breaks tho record.

That an unusual state of feeling existed is shown by the determination of the 1110b which led it to'tho ferocity of first killing three of the men in the iail and then dragging the livintr and dead together and hanging them to tho same tree. It is notable, too, that no outrage that usually rouses a mob's vengeance— no murder—was charged against the victims, but their death was decreed bocause of long and exasperating suffering from robberies, some of which wero accompanied by torture of victims. The excitement of the day was not lessened by the suppressed hints that more objects of the people's wrath would be made to suffer in the same way.

Were (i m^ of Toughs.

These men composed a gang of toughs, who for several years have been committing depredations in and about Versailles. The otlicers had run down Pete Iiostetter, a member of the gang, and he agreed trap the others to secure his own safety. Saturday night it was planned to rob Wooley Bros.' general store at Correct, south of Versailles. Tho officers were notitied and caught the men in the robbery. I11 tho shooting back and forth Sheriff Bushing was shot 111 the hand by Gordon. The men were put in jail at Versailles until taken out yesterday morning by the mob. hile the citizens have been unable to fix tho many robberies and outrages committed in this community ou these men, it was believed they were it part of tho gang. When they were Iodized in jail it was decided among those who bad suffered loss of property to deal with them summarily.

At 2 o'clock yesterday morning 400 men dismounted just outside the town and marched to the jail. Three of them, with revolvers, demanded the keys of the jailer, which were turned over to them. Tho mob marched into the jail where the prisoners were. Levi, Jenkins and Sliulter showed fight, and the former was shot through the breast, while the skulls of the two latter were crushed with a stool. Ropes were in readiness, and, adjusting a noose around the neck of each, their feet and hands were pinioned, and then the march began. They were not carried, but with several men at the end of each rope, the five prisoners were dragged a distance of 200 feet to an elm tree, where their bodies were suspended. Levi, Jenkins and Sliulter wero dead before the tree was reached. Gordon aud Andrews died from strangulation.

BIIIUOI-K of Ugly Threats.

Two men were iett in the jail, Charles Kelly, aged 1-1, for burglary and Arthur McMillen for carrying concealed weapons. The latter was lot out last night 011 bond. McMillin says three of tho prisoners were killed in the jail aud one of the others almost killed there. The mob came very near taking McMillen out. The executed men were all residents of Osgood.

Marshal John 13. Tyler with 2."i deputies patroled the town last night against any possible surprise and every road running into town is picketed with wideawake 111011. This precaution is not taken in anticipation of a second visit by tho regulators. The danger apprehended is from another quarter, the friends of the lynched men.

No private citize'11 of Versailles nrobably has reason to fear personal violence, tho danger dreaded is arson. There were rumors of threats by friends of tho lynched men to even up "by numing the jail and courthouse. The public, officers are also subjects of threats. If troublo conies it is expected from Osgood. The feeling between the two places is of the bitterest, and it is said hero that there are plenty of others in Osgood who doserve the fate of tho livo found dangling to limbs yesterday morning. There is a general undercurrent of approval of the deed and it is said that no effort will be made to apprehend anyone who took part.

Governor Mount Acts.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 10.— Governor Mount on learning of tho lynching in Ripley county wired tho sheriff to use ull tho powers at his command to bring tho guilty parties to justice. Tho governor sav.s if necessary all tho powers of the state will be employed to bring the lynchers to justice.
