Dave Hunt, a worthless tramp, who bas just been incarcerated in the Iowa penitentiary, has fallen heir to $300,000, by the death of his uncle. — eee The silver democrats of Frank- fort, Ky., are making a house to house canvass in polling the city. The contest is centered on the office of mayor. Daylight for higher weges for striking coal miners is beginning to dawn The operators are beginning te showan anxious disposition to settle differences. The strike of the coal miners in the east continues to spread. The supply of fuel is giving out and on this eccount many factories are threatening a shut down. The conferencs committee in charge of the tariff bill, according to the dispatches, sara not dwelling together in unity. The committee is making slow progress, as they have not yet reached the important schedules of the bill, it is guers work when the bill will bs ready for passage. The immense depot and freight house of the Chicago & Alton rail- road at Chicago, was destroyed by fire Friday morning. The place was full of freight, much of it in cars, and long lines of cars outside the freight house were ignited by flying sparks and burned. The loes is estimated at $200,000. Senator Mark Hanna has, by invi tation of President McKinley, moved into the Prince of Wales’ room in the White House. It is eaid that this move was taken to remove him from the annoyance of office seekers.

In eitber event it will be the highest protection mea- |sure ever enacted by any congress, far excesding the McKinley bill which the people of the United States repudiated at the first oppor- tunity offered them. It would ap pear that the manufacturers end | trusts have gone inad over the pros- pects to glut their avarice at the public treasury and are not stopping to consider what the effect will be on the people. They are clamoring for more and greater taxes to be placed upon an already over tax- burdened people for the sols pur- pose cf further increasing their wealth, while the country is strug- gliog to recover from the werat financial depression which the peo- ple of this country ever experienced. They are in the saddle and riding with whip and spur aod no earthly power will stop this congress from passing this measure of iniquity. Well, let them. The people cf this great republic will hold the repub- lican party responsible and will ad- minister such a rebuke in 1900 as no political party in the nation ever experienced. Mark our prediction. Missouri Men on Committees. Washington, D. C,, July 9 —When Speaker Reed announces the stand- ing committes of the House, which will be done on the last day of the session, this is the way Missouri members will doubtless be appor- tioned: Bland, coinage, weights and measures; Bodine, naval effaire; Benton, Indian affairs; Clark, for- eign affairs; Cowherd, interstate and foreign commerce; Cooney, Pacific railroads; Cochran, banking and cur- rency; DeArmond, judiciary; Dock- ery, appropriations; Lloyd, sgricul- ture; Robb, postoffics and post roads; Van Diver, rivers and har- bors It is probable that Mr. Cowherd may be changed from interstate and foreign commerce to somes committee equally as good. Mr. Joy is nowa member of the interstate and foreign commerce, and the Speaker may not want two men from the same State. This isthe only reason for the change, if it be made. For Shiver. Boston, Mass, July 8.—Hon. G Fred Williams will be nominated by the democrata of Massachuset!s next fall. This means that the party has gone over to silver with the avowed intention of nomivatiog Mr Williams. It was just a year ago this week the Massachusetts democ- racy were sweltering iu the turmoil of the Chicago convention torn, dis- rupted, angry and disgusted. A short year has wrought great changes, and now it is apparent not only that Mr. Williams will be the democratic candidate for governor again, but that the democratic or- ganization has-gone over formally, bag and baggage, to the -free silyer cause, and that there will ba no ne- cessity for revising the state com mittee. Members of the executive committee, with ths exception of one man, are free silver adherents. St. Louis, Mo, July 7.—Frank James, asked this morning what he thought of the endeavor now being madé to secure the pardon of James and Cole Younger, serving life sen- tences in the Stillwater (Minn ) peni- tentiary, said: ‘I know notbiog of the expected pardon except what 1 have read in the newspapers, and I decline to diecuss any previous asso- ciation which I may have had with the Younger brothers.” Harris’ Successor. Knoxville, Tenn. July 9.—The news of Senator Harris’ death had scarcely been received when the fight for his successor was begun. The contest will be between Con- gressman Benton McMillin and Gov. Robert L. Taylor. Taylor seems to lead in the race at present. McMil- |lin also has a good following. Paris, July 10.—The cabinet to- AS FATAL AS A PLAGUE. Heat Amounts to a General Epidemic in its Ravages.—Prostrated, 2,000; Dead, 350. Chicago, Ill., July 10.—The rec- ords of prostrat ons and deaths re- sulting from the long heated term since July 1 approach in magnitude that of a genersl epidemic. Reports | from all sections of the country re ceived tonight show prostrations numbering in the neighborhood of 2,000, with fatalities close to 350. In| addition to this there were scores of deaths resulting indirectly from the intolerab!e heat, the death rate in mapy of the large cities showing a feartul increase over previous years. The central states suffered more severely than other sections, the heat being most deadly in Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis. Ino num ber of fatalities this city heads the list with eighty seven deaths. Cin- cinnati and suburban points report- ing sixty-five and St. Louis forty two. Throughout the south the heat was intense, but the death rate much lower than in the north. Eighty-seven people have died from the effects of heat here since July 1. In addition six have drown: ed while bathing to escape the siz zling rays of the eun: six have been driven insane, and a like number have committed suicide, while 347 prostrations, more or less serious, have occurred. The health depart ment repcris show a great increase in the mortality among children and sufferers from chronic diseases, the average number of deaths for the past three or four days having al- most doubled. “TO BEAT M’LEAN. Tom Johnson to Enter the Ohio Senatorial Fight. Clev lind O., July 10.—It is given out hers by close friends of ex Ccn- gressiuaan Tom L Johnson, that the latter is furnishing money to the anti McLeun faction for the purpose of seczring control of the Cuyahoga county legislative delegation. His friends say that be is a candidate for ence es to who handles public! a settlement of the Graeco-Turkish the Senate and that he will publicly declare hims:If at the proper time Toe:e is no doubt but that John- son will makea hard fight to defeat McLean in this county. He has good good chances of suc- cxss. With Cuyahogo county solid Jobneon will be iu shape to go after support ia other parts of the state. He hopes to crystalize all the anti- McLean eeatiment in the state. Mr. Johnson helped Bryan, and long ago announced that while he could not indorse free silver in toto, still, if the party willed he would vote and worx on the lines laid down in the Chicago platform. Ran Into an Ambush. Havana, July 9.—Movements of the Spanish Captain General and Gen. Gomez seem to be a game of hide and seek. Weyler thought he bad Gomez penned up the other day and sent out four battallions to cap- ture him, but they came back not only without him, but with the loes of over 200 men. They were am- bushed ip the hills near Sancti Spir- itus, and theinsurgents fairly mowed down the troops with rapid fire guns. Weyler was furious. The Havana papers have ben for- bidden to talk upon the affair at all, but La Lucha, with singular inde pendence, showing that it has some power behind the throne. has com mented upon the “campaign” with considerable bitterness. - “The fact that the insurgeats’ camp can almost ba seen from the captain generel’s place,” it sayz. “proves that the Spanish officers have euch poor knowledge of this section that they don't know the roads that lead to the insurgents’ camps The epectacle of large bands of rebels camping within gun- shot of the capitol is not an edifying one, disproving, as it does, the idea of pacification.” The President's Plans. Washington, D. C., July -9.—The President decided to-day that after his return from Chicago, where he will on July 22 attend the unveiling of the Gen. John A. Logan s‘atue, he will, about August 1, go to Hotel Champlain, near Plattsburg, N.Y. The party will comprise the presi- dent and family, Mr and Mrs. Ho- bart, Secretary and Mrs. Porter and probably several members of the President's official family. The party will spend several weeks at Hotel Champlain. The President will then go to Utab.

ERASTUS BROWN HANGED. | | | The Assailant ot Miss Annie Febring | Strang up by Viguants. | Union, Mo, July 11.—Erastus } Brown, the negro who made a crimi-| nal assau't upon and nearly killed) Mies Annie Foerving, near Villa Ridge, on Ju'y 2, and was subse-| quently captured and conveyed to | Union to prevent his being lynched, | was forcibly taken from jail at 2:30 | o'clock yesterday mornivg and hang ed to atree by a mod of men from} the neighborhood of Villa Ridge. | A crowd of abcut 40 or 50 mouat-| ed mea rode into Union at 2 o'clock They galloped four abreest until they were within one block of the jail, whera they divided into two squads. Oae rode nerih and the other helf rode south, completely surrounding the houses of the Sher- iff and jailer. At each house they placed a strong guard. The balance rcda quickly to the jail snd attacked the iron doors with sledge hammers and cold chisels. The door opening on the street being a wooden structure, was soon demolished. Once inside the vigilants proceed ed directly upstairs and to the ceil where Brown was confined. With their tools the bolts holdiag the huge lock on the cell door were quickly cut in two. Then the door swung open, and the cowering wretch was dragged out. To drag him down stairr, place him in a spring wagon and drive out of town required but little more than half an hour’s time. The ncise awakened many villag- ers and they hurried to the jail with the avowed purpose of preventing a lyachiog. Judge Coleman was appointed spokesman and made an impassioned speech to the mob, in which he im- plored them to disperse aod not bring disgrace upon their homes and families by overruling law and order. But the words of the Judge had no effect. The men were determined t> ayergs the deed, and were in no mood to te distuaded from their purpose. The start was made towerds the southern portion of the village, with the guns of the mob resting in the bollows of their arms. Several reei- dents of Union madsa final appeal that the negro be spared until his case could be passed cn accordiag to law, but the mob would listen to no arguments and warned the men that an attempt at rescue would provoke bloodshed and possibly result in the less of invocent lives. The mob halted uader a buge willow tree at a pont about oue mile southeast of Union, and, altar allowing Brown a few minutes in which to make a final prayer, the rope was thrown saecrcss a sturdy limb and strong hands pulled the negr)d six feet from the ground, where be struggled in tbe throes of suffication for ten minutes, when his heart ceased to beat, and a few mio- utes later he was pronounced dead. an idler after all.

FELLOW TEACHER:—In view of the fact that the time is near for the beginning of th Institute, I hope that every teacher is making arrangements to attend. Your success in the profession depends greatly upon the effort you put forward to attain it. Your position as teacher is a responsible one. To become the educational leader of your district and community is an honor of which every one might be proud. The question then arises, ure you at present capable of assuming such responsibilities? If not, tobe prepared for such should be youraim. It is a duty you owe to your profession. Institutes are inaugurated — for the improvement of teachers. Itis a place where they may exchange ideas, where the ; weak teacher may be benefitted by the experience of the strong ones. It is not a place to™ become qualified in the various subjects, but rather a place to learn how to present those subjectsin proper and attractive way to the inquiring mind. In carrying ont the foregoing ideas [have associated with me the following named gentlemen: Profs. Frank Deerwester, L. B. Allison and J. P. Thurman. These gentlemen are too well and favorably known to the Tobe Held at The following is the daily program.
