JACK. moments Post: Dispatch:—The state auditor- ship has but one avowed candidate as yet. He is Col. James L. Pace, of Bates county, at present warden of the penitentiary. Col. Pace has made an unusually brilliant record in the wardenship—one of the most difficult offices in the state to fill— and the eastern portion of Missouri will go up to the state convention solidly in his interest. It was ru- mored at the Pertle Springs conven- tion that the present occupant of the state auditor's chair, Hon. Jas. M. Seibert, was not really a candi- date for governor, but that he would be a candidate to succeed himself. Whether this is true or not, the Post-Dispatch has no direct informa- tion. Butthe principal objection to Mr. Seibert in the race for auditor will be the fact that he has served one term as treasurer and two terms in his present office, and the demo- crats may teke it into their heads to protest against third terms and} demand a new deal., This is one of the conditions which may mitigate; against Mr. Seibert’s success. | cae | He Killed Taree Men, West Palm Beach, Fla., August 18.—Samuel J.ewis, murderer of three men, was taken from jail at Juno at3a.m by a masked mob and lynched. When the mob de-| manded Lewis the jailer said they could have him if they would harm no one else, to which negro deputy ran out. Someone fired, missing him and killing Gustave Kaiser, the jailer. The mob continued firing at the negro, but he escaped. Four men then entered the jail and took Lewis, who begged pitifully for his life, to a telegraph pole, where he was rid- dled with bullets. Lewis shot and killed John High- smith, ex-tax collector of Dade coun- ty, and his brother-in-law, George Davis, in cold blood. Lewis escaped but a posse went for and found him | August 9.

Suicide in the Flames. Elgin, Ill., Aug. 18.—Frank Kazer and his 4-year-old daughter, Sylvia were burned to death in a fire which destroyed their residence and sever- jal other buildings at Algonquin, a small village near here, early this} morning. The fire started in Ka- zare house. When aroused, Kazar managed to get his wife and two of his children out safely, but before he could reach Sylyia a portion of the floor fell in, carrying the child down. Kazar was crazed with grief and resisted the efforts of neighbors to drag him from the burning struc- ture, clinging to the door frame Home | in the blazing mass.
