It is stated that Secretary Car- lisle will make an active campaign in Kentucky, and that he will eater the state October 10th, and remain on the stump until election day. The San Francisco Chronicle was sued for libel by Dr. Hearne and now Dr. Hearne and wife, are in jail at Hannibal charged with having killed Amos J. Stillwell, former hus- band of Mrs. Hearne. Kansas republicans will have a candidate for president in the per- son of Geo. R. Peck. Gov. Morrill to a certain extent has pledged the state to McKinley and the talk of starting a boom for Peck is not pleasing to him. Senator Quay, who has made a gallant fight for the chairmanship of the republican convention of Pennsylvania, has carried the day, according te the count of the dele- gates selected to the conyention. Gov. Stone says Col. Jones, editor of the Post Dispatch, drafted the platform adopted at Perile Springs. The governor said he read it before it was submitted tc the committee and it was adopted almgst without a change. The talk of nominating Lewelling ‘for governor next year, goes to show that the populists of Kansas have gained nothing by experience and are a back number.

Roll, one of Kansas City’s most prominent business men suicided at his home in that city Saturday by shooting himeelf in the head with a,pistol. Business losses is said to be the cause. He was 42 years of age. In 1878 he was at the head of the large mercantile establish- ment of Roll, Thayer and Williams and the firm was one of the most prosperous in the city. This firm failed about eleven years ago and Mr. Roll then engaged in business on his own account, and succeeded well in business until he desired to enlarge and moved into a business house at the corner of Tenth and Walnut streets. This move proved unfortunate for him and he began to lose money. He was a deacon in the Central Presbyterian church, and superintendent of the Sunday school.

Yreka, Cal., Aug. 26.—Four men! charged with murder were taken | from the county jail by a mob of 250! men at l o'clock this morning and} lynched. A band of citizens, tearing | that the law would not be carried! out, and angered over atrocity | of recent crimes, determined to take | matters into their own hands. The lynching was the ghastly climax to, the reign of lawlessness which has prevailed in Siskiyu uty for some months past. One of the victims was Lawrence | Johnson, who, on the evening of | July 28, stabbed his wife to death | atna Another was William Null, who shot Henry Hay-, ter in the back with a rifle near Cal- | laban’s on April 21; Louis Mereno) and Garland Semier, who are sup-| posed to have killed George Sears, | and Casper Meirerhans, at Bailey Hill on August 5, were also hanged. At 11 o’clock last night farmers | from all of the surrounding country | began to drive into town, and by) midnight the mob was ready to! marcb to the county jail. Before) taking a step, however, every pre-| caution was taken to prevent the plans of the lynchers from being frustrated by the officers of the law. | The sheriff and one of his deputies decoyed to another part of town by two members of the mob, who were engaged ina sham fight, and the fire bell was muffled to prevent anj alarm from being given in that way. When the jail was reached a num-| ber of the men, all of whom were! masked, awakened deputy sheriif Radford and demanded the keys from him. He positively refused to open the | door or give the keys up, telling them that if they broke in the doors he would blow their brains out. Finding that Radford was determin- ed not to give them the keys they went across to the jail and got on top of « stone wall which surrounds the jail. Deputy sheriff Henry Brahiacht, who has been sleeping in | the jail sinc> the commitment of so many murderers, thinking some one was escaping from the jail, fired two shots out of the window to alarm city marshal Parks and depu- ty sheriff Radford. He then opened the doors and was immediately held up by the mob, who took the keys from him and entered the jail. Hav- ing no keys to the different cells, they were compelled to burst the locks with a sledge hammer, which they proceeded to do at once. | NED, ! ticipated that the largest number of students yet recorded will be pres- ent at the opening and will enter for the various courses. Of all the institutions of learning in the West the University stands without an equal. Every department is per- fect and to the Missourians this )school isa source of the greatest pride. To those of our people who are intending to educate their boys and girls the University presents ad- vantages not to be had in any other college in the state, and all those who desire a complete and thorough education, the Tives would advise that they enter the University. | Harrity on the Prospects. New York, Aug. 24—Wm. F. Harrity, chairman of the democratic national committee, arrived on the American liner Paris this afternoon from England. Regarding national politics, he said: ‘‘Although Mr. Cleveland isa very strong man in his party, I think he has no idea of accepting a third nomination for the presidency. The matter has been talked of a great deal, but it is somewhat premature to expect him to declare himself on the subject just at present. When the time is opportune he will doubtless do so. As it is probable that Mr. Cleveland will decline a third term and Mr. Whitney bas declared that he will not accept a nomination, we can look to Stevenson, Vilas, Dickinson and Carlisle. In many respects Car- lisle would be a strong man. The improved business conditions | throughout the country have mate- \rially enhanced the position of the {democratic party.

Johneon, who bru-} tally stabbed his wife to death at Etna on Sunday evening, July 28, | was the first to receive the attention | of the mob.

He was! told that the “job had been done.” | By the time the greater part of the mob had dispersed, leaving only about 30 or 40 men on guard, who soon left after the sheriff arrived. The bodies were taken down by} Coroner Shofield and Marshal Parks who removed them in a wagon to an engine house, where they were laid side by side. The coroner has sum- moned a jury to hold an inquest. Yreka is a little mining town and years ago was frequently the scene of mob violence. The summary manner in which justice was meted out to the four murderers this morn- ing reminded the pioneers of similar scenes during the gold excitement forty years ago, when it was not an uncommon spectacle to awaken in the morning and see the body of a notrious criminal dangling from a tree. | | | A Texas Terror Done For. E! Paso, Tex., Aug. 20.—The son of Constable John Seliman, a mem- ber of the police force, arrested a female friend of John Hardin, the terror of the border, a few days ago, and yesterday afternoon Hardin threatened to run young Seliman out of the town.
