It has great ruled in Joplin to-day. Anunknown negro, who shot and killed Police Officer Theodore Lester last night, and found in the woods to-day by a mob of several hundred armed men was brought to the city and strung up to a telephone pole at 6 o'clock this evening. . Bloodhounds were brought from Webb City and placed on the trail, but the negro eluded the posse and remained in the thicket through the night, on Turkey creek, two miles north of the city. This morning the man hunt was resumed, when sev- eral hundred armed men and boys took to the woods. They scattered in all directions, but could not find the murderer. At 2 o'clock the negro came from his hiding place and went into a slaughter house near Midway park, where he told a story of having fallen from a train, and was badly injured. Instead he was suffering from the wound he received last night at the hands of the officer he killed. Lee Fullerton and N. R. Bullock, two employes of the place, suspected leader from Ohio has positively de- termined not to be a candidate for the presidency himeelf under any possible contingency. This has re- moved all possibility of friction between Senator Hanna and the president, and Mr. Roosevelt has come to lean more and more upon the astute political leader from Pres- ident McKinley’s state. WILL HANNA ACCEPT? The result is that a strong effort will be made to induce Senator Han- na to undertake again the burden- some duties of conducting another campaign. Senator Hanna will be 67 years old when the next presiden- tia) election is held, and it was fear- ed that he might plead that after having borne the heat and burden of two campaigns, his duty tothe party was ended. Nevertheless, the presi- dent’s friends, alter looking over the ground carefully, have come to the conclusion, it is said, that Sena- tor Hanna, more than any other man, would carry the campaign to success in 1904. eatidotal and purifying properties that soon destroy the germs and poisons and restore the blood to its natural condition.

The position of Senator Hanna as chairman of the national committee would be a guarantee to the corpo- rations that the president will not be actuated by any personal ambition and that, having chosen @ conserva- tive man like Senator Hanna for his campaign manager, would, if elected, seek for advice during the next ad- ministration from the same quarter. It so happens that Senator Hanna will be a pretty busy man from now on politically, entirely aside trom the question of presidential elections. The senator’s term of office expires on March 3, 1905. The Ohio legis- lature has only biennfel sessions and the next regular session isin January of the next year. The state election this fall, therefore, will not only de- termine the question of who shall be the next governor but it will also settle the senatorial fight at the same time. loaded into a wagon by the two men and brought to the city. MOB AT THE JAIL, In thé meantine a large crowd had congregated at the police station, and upon thenegro’s arrival the news quickly spread, and soon a crowd of over 3,000 people had gathered. The people became frantic and demand- ed the prisoner. At first it was thought the wrong man had been captured and several prominent citizens climbed upon boxes to warn the crowd. The mob would not listen and hissed them down. Securing a battering ram they pro- ceeded to break down the east wall of the jail. After an entrance was effected the negro was carried out, begging piteously for his life. He claimed to be innocent, and said he did not shoot the officer, but admit- ted that he was present at the time. The mob beat him furiously, and the negro fought like a tiger. He was partially dragged and carried two blocks away to the corner of Second and Wall streets. Here sev- eral severe fights took place and guns were flashed, Officers and citi- zens were on one side and the men who wanted the negro’s life on the other. Several prominent men made speeches, but it had no effect what- ever on the mob.

One of Sir Thomas’s hands was ivjured, but not seriously. Sir Thomas had @ narrow escape. He was thrown down the hatchway witha sailorand fell with such force as to break the board flooring covering the tank. Another Veto in Missouri. Jefferson City, April 16.—Governor Dockery this morning vetoed House bill 132, relating to elections. The governor says “this bill makes an in- novation in our election laws, which, so far asI know, is without preced- ent. Under existing statutes, when the right of a person to vote is chal- lenged by an outsider, the question is determined by the judges of elec- tion upon evidence satisfactory to them. This bill lays down an iron clad rule to be applied in such cases, The person challenged must furnish the sworn testimony of at least one resident freeholder of the township in his own sworn testimony that he is a legal voter before he shall be ene titled to vote. The judges of the election are precluded from acting upon any evidence, except the sworn testimony of a resident freeholder of the township.” Russell Sage Can't Smoke. Five Hundred Vigilantes Hold Joplia Mob in Check. Joplin, Mo., April 16.—It was fear- ed all day that the mob which last night lynched a tramp negro here, burned the homes of negroes, and ran almost every negro out of Joplin, would resume the depredations to- night. Mayor Trigg issued a proclama- tion to-day calling a public meeting of good citizens at 5 o’clock to or- ganize 500 vigilantes to preserve order in the city. This was done, and although throngs began to fill the streets by nightfall there was no sign of dis- order. ‘The excitement is still intense, but it,is believed the Mayor’s action has effectually quieted any desire to con- tinue the rioting, There were several hundred stran- New York, April 16.—One woman in New York who is violently oppos- ed to the use of tobacco by members of her sex is happy that the smoking lorand tearoom of Mrs. Jacob H, Vanderbilt has been closed.
