One advantageous feature of this season of short and dark days, and one not often thought of, is that when the days do begin to increase in length, tha Increase Is all on the latter end of the day, where it Is needed worst. Thus today tho day is 13 minutes longer than It was on tho 22nd of Decem ber, and not only has all that Increase been on tho afternoon, but three minutes besides that have been taken from the forenoon and added to the af ternoon, making tho afternoon 16 min utes longer and the forenoon three min utes shorter than they were on Dec 22. In a day or two more the lengthening process will extend to both ends of tho day and then "the worst of the winter will be over," sure or ought to be at any rate. Rensselaer Repub lican. Political Capital. The Louisville Courier-Journal thinks that the only real question in the matter of tho discharge of three companies of the Twenty-ilf th infantry which the senato can properly consider is whether the president had the right to take the action which he did. It adds: "While there is merely a question of law involved in this matter, the fuss that has been made about it is due en tlrely to the fact that the criminals discharged were negroes. Unscrupulous politicians thought they saw in it an opportunity to make political capital On the floor of the senate.it was said and admitted by Senator Foraker, that 332 men of the regular army had been discharged without honor within two years previous to the discharge of the negro companies. No fuss was made about those discharged,' because there were no votes to be had thereby. Presumably tho men discharged were white men, and tha alleged violation of law was overlooked. The discharge of the companies of the Twenty-fifth infantry became an issue simply and solely be cause they were negroes." Air Line Ties. An advertisement of shares in a Chi cago-New York air lino electric line has a picture showing the "loading of ties for construction of the line," in which men are shown Jauntily carry ing on their shoulders seven-foot ties up gangways into box cars. The artist who drew it was probably not aware that the ordinary oak ties such ns the Lake Shore uses on its right of way range from 200 to 400 pounds ana mat never less man two and gen erally four men are assigned the task of carrying one. But perhaps the air line ties are Inflated. Elkhart Review Between Trains Improvement. Speak gently to the board of works matter what your woes. And, incidentally, reflect that what no the board says goes. Beiausf, you know, to pave a street. Results in something pretty neat. Unfathomable. "I cannot be your wife." she replied and added: "This is final." tie passed swiitiy to and fro several times, then halted abruptly in front of her. "Pray be candid with me." he said, not without the note of masculine impatience. "About how final?" This was too much. She burst into te rs. How ,:di. I know?" she sobbed. - P Perhaps He Meant It. P - is usually a self-possessed young man; but the other day when dining out he wns unexpectedly called npMii to say grace, and the best he couhl do was to deliver himself of the following: "O, Lord, bless this food. Amen. zin c. our sins and forgive ' Llppincott s MagaThe Language of Chicken Tracks. Itr. Horace Greeley, the great editor of the New York Tribune, had the worst hand writing: imacinable. Often

his printers could not understand his writing. But there was one old man who had been with him a long time. Ho could understand it very well and the editor gave him nearly all of his copy to set up. One day the printers wanted to have some fun with the old printer, who had gone to lunch. There was a poultry store near the printing office. They went there and bought a pair of Indian game roosters which were great nghters. They brought them into the office and dipped their feet in the ink. Ona of the printers got some while copy paper and put it on the ffoor. Then the printers put the cocks on the paper. They began to fight hard. The printers enjoyed the fight greatly. When the sheet was covered with the tracks the printers stopped the fight. They cut the sheet into six parts and numbered them. They hung the sheet on the old printer's hook where Greeley always put his copy. By and by the old printer came in. lie took down the copy and began to set it up. lie thought the writing was

getting poorer and poorer but he ontinued lo the sixth page. Finally lie came to a place where one rooster had brushed the sheet with his wing. The printer could nut make it out and went to the editor's office and asked the editor what the word was. Greeley gave a hasty glance at It and an swered, "Unconstitutional." Then the printer went back to finish setting up the chicken tracks and the editorial arne out in the next edition of the paper. .NOTRi; TO IVOX-RKSinilXT. THE! STATE OF INDIANA LAKE COUNTY.

OVA LAW OUTRAGED

Done by "Best Citizens," Who Boast of Their Immunity from Prosecution. SMILED UPON BY SOME WOMEN Graced by the Presence of Clergymen, Mob Murder Done. Old Man Who Had Committed Double Crime Lynched; Sheriff Inactive Lynchers Wear No Masks. Charles City, la., Jan. 10. James Cullen, who murdered his -wife and 15-year-old stepson, was taken from the FJoyd county jail here by a mob and hanged to the Cedar river bridge in the heart of the city. The mob broke Into the jail and quickly overcame the feeble resistance Sheriff Schermerfcorn was able to offer. The mob was composed of many of the leading citizens of the town, and even the leaders made no attempt to disguise themIves. Cullen fought like a tiger, but was overpowered, lie aeciareu that his wife and son had attacked him and that he had killed them in self-defense. South Couldn't Heat This. Four or five ministers and a large number of women were in the crowd. rhe crowd gathered about the jail about 0 p. m. With a railroad iron they battered down the door, and with picks and axes quickly cut through the wall. Judging from the expressions about town the hanging is largely the result of the pardon granted to Louis Busse, the Bremer county wife-mur derer. Busse murdered his wife wlthn fifteen miles of Charles City, was twice granted reprieves, and then his sentence was commuted to life impris onment. What Does Gov. Cummins Say ? Men who participated in the mob bing stated that they did not fear prosecution. They said that they disliked mob violence, but considered that if mob law was ever justifiable it was in the case of Cullen. They declared that the estate of $oO,000 which he had accumulated as a contractor here would have been used to fight his case in the courts, and that it would be years before he would have been punished, if ever. W. W. Schermer horn, the sheriff, while aware that the feeling was at high pitch, did not think it would end in lynching, and made no preparations to defend the prisoner. Cullen's brother, Richard Cullen, a banker from Warren, 111., who was in the city, did not hear of the mobbing until after it was all over Always Had a Bad Temper. James Cullen killed his wife and 15-year-old step-son at 4 a. m. Wednes day at his home on East Clark street, and attempted to commit suicide, but failed. Cullen was always known as a man of bad temper, and was some what eccentric, lie was 00 years old He was especially a crank on the sub ject of temperance; was a man who never took a drink of liquor in his life. K0 PRANKS AT ARMOUR Chicago Seat of learning Frowns on Barring a Professor Out of a Lecture Iloom. Chicago, Jan. 10. Seventy members of the senior class at Armour Institute have been suspended by President Gunsaulus because of a prank they played on Louis C. Monin, dean of the department of technology. The stu dents are barred from the institution for an indefinite period, and it prac tically leaves the institution without a graduating class. When Dean Monin attempted to enter the lecture room he found the door locked and heard an uproar on the inside. He sent for assistance and had the door opened, but found the entrance barricaded with blackboards and chairs. The obstruction was finally removed and when Dean Monin could make himself heard he dismissed the class on the spot and informed them there would be no more lectures in his department this term. Liabor Request to Roosevelt. Washington, Jan. 10. The president hns received a letter from T. R. Fuller, secretary of a joint committee of railroad engineers, firemen and trainmen, requesting him to invite the attention of congress to the anti-injunction legislation, the employers' liability Mil and legislation fixing the working hours of railroad employes. The letter is attested by E. E. Clark, the chairman of the committee, and now a member of the interstate commerce commission. He Was Long in Office. Baltimore. Jan. 10. James W.Chew, clerk of the United States district and circuit courts, is dead of Blight's disease at the age of 74 years. lie had bceD connected with the United States courts here for fifty-seveu years.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Jan. 10. Stocks started the day strong and higher with St. Paul and Reading- the especial strong features. The trading In St. Paul was on a larger scale than for some time. It scored an advance of over two points for the day, opening at 152 and selling up to 154. The buying was ascribed to the Standard Oil interests combined with a few scattered investment orders. It is pointed out that St. Paul selling at 150 and paying seven per cent per annum is about one of the best inestments on the list. This in addition to the valuable rights that have been declared in the past and which may occur again shortly makes this stock look very attractive to the investing public. The crowd in Reading pursued the usual procedure, bidding the marKet up on the shorts from 136 to close to 139 and then selling them all they would buy. This -separating" process has been in vogue for so long that traders as a rule have become accus tomed to It. In the late afternoon a determined drive was instituted against the douia properties by traders who believed that the Interstate commerce commission would take up the Missouri Pacific, Wabash and Missouri. Kansas & Texas close alliance in the restraint ot com petition. As a result of this selling, Missouri Pacific and Wabash preferred became exceptionally weak. The latter nMnts and the for mer about two. This selling had a demoralizing effect upon prices in other securities and as a consequence the early gains established throughout the list were in many instances lost entirely. The call money market was much easier, the highest loans ruled during the day was 6 per cent. The market closed feverish and irregular. NEW YORK STOCK Descpt.

Chicago, Jan. 10 WHEAT Ruled strong and higher this morning. Foreign markets showed fair gains over night. The cables reported that their markets had been oversold on account of the favorable conditions of the Argentine crop. Among the most pronounced bull articles dished up during the day was a report from the northwest that the millers in that section would have to buy wheat from the southwest in order to continue their mills as their stocks were almost depleted. The speculative market had a range of only a half a cent for the day. The cash situation here Is reported improved and a fair demand Is noted for the better qualities of wheat. The market closed steady with a gain of about three eights for the day. CORN Strong and higher due principally to short covering by traders who have been sellers during the past week. Receipts of corn continue light con sidering the time or year, as a rule at this season ot the j-ear there should be in the neighborhood of 1,000 cars of corn per day. At present the receipts do not average over 400. Cash corn in the sample marKet was quoted one half cent higher. The May option scored an advance of about three eiarhths for the day, closing fairly strong. OATS Extremely dull and uninter esting although the tone of the mar ket was firm. One of the larger cash houses was a fair buyer of the May 1 000. The market closed steady.

MET AN AWFUL FATE Frightful Result of an Explosion in a Furnace at Pittsburg, Pa. TWO DOZEN MEN ARE MISSING Probably Cremated in Their Graves of Molten MetaL Death Boll la Sure to Contain tho Names of Ten Three. Already Thereon and Seven Other Dying. nttsburg, Jan. 10. One of the worst explosions in the history of the Jones A Laughlin Steel works occurred, at the Eliza furnaces when a large quantity of gas which had accumulated at the base of a furnace became ig nited and exploded. Tons of molten metal were showered around tho furnace fr a radius of forty feet. Out of a force of thirty-five men employed at the furnace when the explosion occurred three of them John Cramer, Andrew Featherka and Uustave Kessler have been taken to the morgue, their bodies horribly mutilated by the fire. Seven men are in hospitals fatally Injured, and twenty-four others have not been accounted for. They May Have Been Cremated.
