GOOD NAME TO PRESERVE. The report that the county jail was under guard last Thursday on account of a threatened Invasion to lynch Lon Fisher, presents a new and unfavorable phase to the characters of some of our citizens. Richmond has long enjoyed a splendid reputation for the law abiding qualities of its citizens. Our name has never been stained by the stigma of a lynching. Our laws have always been enforced and there has never been any need of appealing to vigilance committees or lynch law. In the case of Lon Fisher there is no doubt but that the law will be enforced just the same as it has been in the past, a fact that makes the proposed act of some of our citizens all the more odious and criminal. The man!

who will stoop to countenance lynch law is a worthless and undesirable citizen. At election time ho will cast his vote to elect officers to see that the laws are carried out. By condoning or aiding At a lynching he deserts the very men he helped elect and makes it all the harder for them to maintain law and order in the community. The man that stands for lynching la just as much an anarchist and

enemy to society a3 the rankest bomb

thrower, and should be hunted down

and given as short a shift to the happy

hunting grounds as the latter. If any

further attempt is made to lynch Lon

Fisher, we trust the would-be lynchers will be met at the jail by determined men, armed with riot guns, and given

a taste of something stronger than BB

shot. Lynchers deserve no considera

tion from the Lands of a community. The community, in this case Richmond,

has its good name to preserve and

should not stop at any means to do so,

ATMOSPHERIC ELECTRICITY.

Experiment Suggested by Franklin and Performed by D'Alibard. . To Benjamin Franklin belongs the merit of baring parcel ved that a direct experiment was needed to prove what so far was only a guess. In an article entitled "Opinions and Conjectures Concerning the Properties and Effects of the Electrical Matter Arising From Experiments and Observations Made at Philadelphia. U49," the following passage occurs: "To determine the question whether the clouds that contain lightning are electrified or not I would propose an experiment to be tried where it can be done conveniently. On the top of some high tower or steeple place a kind of sentry box big enough to contain a man and an electrical stand. From the middle of the stand let an iron rod rise and pass, bending out of the door and then upright twenty feet or thirty feet, pointed very sharp at the end. If the electrical stand be kept clean and dry a man standing on it when such clouds are passing low might be electrified and afford sparks, the rod drawing fire to him from a cloud. "If any danger to the man should, be apprehended, though I think there would be none, let him stand on the floor of his box and now and then bring near to the rod the loop of a wire that has one end fastened to the leads, he holding It by a wax handle, so the sparks if the rod be electrified will strike from the rod to the wire and not affect him. The experiment suggested by Franklin was successfully performed In Marly, France, by D'Alibard on May 10, 1752; In London by Canton In Spital square on July 20, 1752, and by Wilson In Chelmsford, Esdex. on Aug. 12 of the same year. Franklin himself described having used a kite In Philadelphia in a letter dated Oct. 19 without giving the date of his observations. Xlosenberger ("Geschichte der rhysik," volume 2, page 316) mentioned thnt it was done In June.

Franklin's dlsbel. character of the ex i .!ve received a severe shock when he heard of the death of G. W. Kichman, who, In the year 1753. was killed by an electric discharge drawn from the clouds by means of a kite.

SALE AT THE PRESENT TIME PROVING VERY HEAVY.

IS

Railroad Men Are Beginning to Talk

As If the 2-Cent Fare Is a Good Thing.

Ticket agents are very busy. The oldest of the passenger men state that they never have before known the sale of tickets to be as large a3 at the pres

ent time, and indications are for a fur

ther increase from week to week

through the summer and fall months

It is argued that the 2-cent rate law has created an impression that now is

the time to travel, and the traveling

DeoDle no longer say much about

rates, but come in, put up their money,

avail themselves of the 2-cent law wherever possible and rather neglecting cheap excursions, which is by no means as heavy as in former years.

Ticket agents as well as others interested in the passenger service, begin to talk as if the 2-cent rate law is to be

a good thing for the roads.

. TRAVEL NORTH HEAVY. The northward travel over the G. R.

& I. railroad is the heaviest it has been so far this year, as the vacationists are now going to Michigan resorts in large numbers. The Northland limited was never more popular and is de

cidedly the best train now running over the G. R. & I. The C, C. & Lr.

is also doing a good business to north points. The C, C. & L.'s ownership

makes it possible to grant inducements

to Wisconsin resorts, as easy connec

tions can be made with the Wisconsin

Central in Chicago, the road owned by

President Bradford, of the C, C. & I

which, are beautiful.

are showing much more care for the

comfort of the traveling public in their

cars. Especially is the bedding kept in better condition. There are three

sheets for every berth and other con

veniences, such as have never before been provided. The Pullman people have learned that it is much better for them to look out for the comforts of

the people who travel In their cars than to neglect them, and are taking

special pains to have porters of a good character. The conductors have been instructed to pay close attention to the wishes of their patrons, to see that

none suffers through any lnadvertance

on their part.

THRESHING SEASON OPENS

J. S. Chapman Enters Upon

OFFERS INDUCEMENTS. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and

Eastern traction company is offering special inducements to people going to Ft. Benj. Harrison. The soldiers

camp is attracting much attention as it usually does. Extra cars are being run r- to accommodate the

Chicago passengers using C. C. & L. trains land at 12th st. (Illinois Central) Station; most conveniently located. Remember this. 6-tf

The canals of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., and Ontario for June, 1907, showed east bound movement reaching 7,033,626 net tons, as compared with 5,725,507 net tons In June, 1906, grain, flour and wheat forming the bulk of the increase, with Iron ore a close second.

Baron Klkuchl, a Japanese statesman In an address in London recently declared that in his Judgment the Japanese ought to make English their language, to the exclusion of the native tongue, and a writer in the Yokohoma paper, quoted In the New York Times, vigorously supported that lde.

PROVED A SURPRISE. Freight traffic in the week ending July 20, was something of a surprise, there being but little decrease in volume as compared with the preceding week. Usually the last weeks of July are among the lightest In the loaded-

car movement of any in the season, but1

this year seemed to be a marked ex

ception. 4 GIVING BETTER SERVICE.

BARLEY AND OATS FINE.

Cambridge City, Ind., July 23. In a letter received recently from Charles Hockett at Colgary, Alberta, he says

that owing to the late start which

not able to break ground until the past week, but that they are progress

with the new country and its excellent climate. Continuing, he says barley and oats are the best they ever saw and

that hay now stands six inches high. Oas are quoted in the Colgary markets at 35c per bu., and good prices are paid for other grains in proportion.

French Musician Mads the Squealers Sing a Tune. During the reign of Louis XI. cf France there was attached to his court one Abbot de Ecigne. a man of considerable wit. The abbot was somewhat musically Inclined and delighted the court witli inventions of odd musical instruments. One day the king, after having enjoyed a hearty laugh over one of these curious contrivances and desiring to bade this muHeal genius, commanded him to produce harmonious sounds from the cries of hogs. This seemed an impossibility to the king, and be prepared himself to enjoy the discomfiture of the abbot. Much to his surprise, however, the abbot readily agreed to produce them. All he required was a sum of money, upon receipt of which he declared be would invent the most surprising thing ever heard in the way of musical atrocity. . He scoured the country and secured a large number of hogs, trying their voices as to pitch and quality, and finally, having fully satisfied himself, he arranged the animals in a sort of pavilion richly decorated. The day o' the trial arrived, and the king and hi 'ourt entered the pavilion prepared fo omethlng, but greatly in doubt as tf -he success of the abbot with the bogs However, there were the hogs, sur .'nouh, and, much to the surprise am leligbt of the king, they commence 'o cry harmoniously and in geod tune rendering an air that was fairly rec agnized..
