TO FURNISH FOOD AT COST New Orleans Consumers Form Supply Company. New Orleans, Feb. 19.—A method of solving the cost of llving was pre- sented here in the granting of a char- ter to the Consumers’ Household Sup- ply company. The movement was initlated here a few days ago with a capital of $50,000 and the announced purpose of pur- chasing a large farm and supplying the larders of householders with many of the necessaries of life. In the be- ginning the products of supply will be vegetables, poultfy and eggs. Even- tually the .company expects to estab- lls:x a. supply of dairy and cattle prod- ucts.

It is to the action of this substance, the complaint says, that the foreign eggs owe their superior sweetness and mildness as compared with the occa- sional strong taste of the ordinary American egg after it has been kept for a time in cold storage. " MAJOR GENERAL CARTER. ‘ msflmfis@ ON- MOB|| S | Demand for Admission to Jail Is Met by a Volley of Bullets, One Man Be- ing Killed and Three Others Wound- ed—State Troops Are Now on the Scene by Order of Governor Deneen Cairo, Il1,, Feb. 19.—One man killed and three wounded is the result of an attack on the jail here by a mob which tried to lynch two negroes who were arrested for snatching purses from wo- inen. ‘When the mob, which numbered more than 200, marched to the jail steps Sheriff Nellis threw open the front door of the courthouse above the jail and saia: “I am here to protect my prisoners,” and at the same time his deputies began shooting into the mob, killing Thomas Halliday, son of | ex-Mayor Thomas W. Halliday, and wounding three others. The crowd fell back and the body of Halliday lay upon the steps of the courthouse all night, Sheriff Nellis re- fusing to allow any one to enter the yard to remove the body until daylight. The mob first began forming short- ly after dark and as soon as the talk of lynching reached Sheriff Nellis he ap- pealed to Governor Deneen for troops and swore in five deputies. Governor Deneen ordered Company K of Cairo to assemble at once and re- port to Sheriff Nellis, but Captain W. D. Greaney was unable to collect his men until after daylight. Governor Deneen also ordered a mi- litia company at Effingham to proceed at once to Cairo. Mob Demanded the Prisoners. It was nearly midnight before the mob, which had been growing in-num- bers and seemed ready to storm the jail, demanded John Pratt and Lincoln ‘Wilson, negroes, who had been arrest- ed in possession of articles stolen from Mrs. William Maloney and Mrs Ac- cord. ‘When the rioters did not halt at the sheriff’s command he told his deputies to open fire and to shoot to kill. A volley from the deputies scattered the mob, which fell back across the street. Several of the crowd returned the fire, but the deputies were uninjured. Among the men wounded by the first volley fired from the jail by the sher- iff’s force was George B. Walker, cor- yespondent of the Associated Press. Mr. Walker was shot in the hip, but his wound is not serious. Walker went through the riots oflast Novem- ber. Others wounded are Horton Freeban and John Maloney. Many of the crowd went to their homes after the shooting, but more than a hundred loitered all night about the streets near the jail. John Pratt, one of the two negroes, is said to have confessed that he had snatched a purse from Mrs. Maloney. He was indicted by the grand jury after he had been identified by her as the man who had committed the rob- bery. Do you know that croup can be prevented?

San Francisco, Feb. 19.—Three ele- phants owned by a showman broke away from a street parade and for thirty blocks ran amuck. With crowds scampering in pursuit the elephants took to the sidewalks and many per sons had narrow “escapes from being trampled. Swerving .into a butcher shop the big beasts paused long enough to half wreck the place, then headed for a winery where they tossed barrels and kegs about. They were finally cornered in a vacant lot.

ASKS PRESENGE OF ALASKAN WITNESS Ballinger's Atforney Would - Dis- credit Glavis. ‘Washington, Feb. 19.—That the “de- fense” is to make a vigorous effort to discredit the testimony of Louis R. Glavis became more evident when counsel for Secretary Ballinger asked . of the congressional Ballinger-Pinchot investigation committee that Adolph Behrens, one of the Alaska coal claim- ants, be summoned from Seattle. to testify regarding -certain statements made by Glavis concerning Behrens and Dennett of the general land office. The day’s session was marked by frequent clashes between Glavis and Vertrees, in the course of which the lawyer complained that the witness had too many strings to his answers. Chairman Nelson remarked that the objections were well taken, but said the committee was powerless, as the inquiry was not being conducted ac- cording to the rules gowerning legal evidence. Counsel for Secretary Ballinger drew from the witness the fact up to the time Mr. Ballinger went out of office as land commissioner in March, 1908, no evidence of fraud in.the Alaska coal cases had been presentnd to the department. The Cumningham “journal,” which contained evidence of an alleged agreement, Glavis said, had not been found at that time. An attack of grippe is often fol lowed by a persistent cough, which to many proves a great annoyance. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has beeun extensively used and with good success for the relief.and cure of this cough. .Many cases have been cured after-all other remedies had failed.

Allahabad, - India, Feb. 19.—Jagdal- pur is the center of one of the most serious Indian revolts of recent years. ‘Thousands of natives are said to be involved and the small loyal part of the population, including a few Euro- peans, is in danger. There are on]y 120 police available for duty. The government is hastening troops to the scene, but it is doubtful whether they can arrive before an outbreak occurs. The Jagdalpur district disturbance 18 believéd to be the result of the up- rising in the Bastair state, in the sup- pression of which the authorities-have as yet made little headway. “While it is often impossible to prevent an accident, it is never impossible to be prepared—it is not beyond anyone’s purse.
