Both performances are valuable as showing what can be done with the new motor in an emergency, but any apt to imitate these feats of en- irance, except for good reasons, should be strongly deprecated. The bi- cycle is one of the best means ever devised for promoting health while sure, but, like many oth- the consequences of its ‘ave in proportion to the benetits derived from its proper use, and the American people are subject to enough di ses without adding the long list which the doctors have al- ready begun to attribute to immoder- ate or improper use of the bicycle. ‘suing ple ood thin, yuse are g¢ The number of persons that have been killed or seriously injured by jumping from baloons with parachutes this season promises to put an end to that dangerous form of amusement soon by exhausting the supply of per- formers. As the law has not yet taken notice of this form of peril to human lite it affords a good test of the ex- tent to which civilization and enlight- enment have diminished that love for the horrible which is inherent in the savage beast, and which men deprecate so strongly when displayed by others than themselves. The whole land rose in indignant protest when it was pro- posed to include bull fighting among the entertainments at the Atlanta ex- position, yet that sport derives its zest from the danger in it, just like the parachute jumping, which draws thou- sands to witness it. On this line, it is ‘o be feared, our civilization is, as yet, abe sporadic. DOUBLE LYNCHING SHERIFF ROGERS’ NURDERERS ARE HANGED AT GLENCOE, MINN. A Mob of Masked Men Brenks Into the Jail, Bind the Jailor and Guard and Secure Musgrove and Cingmars—The Prisoners Plead for Their Lives, but Are Hustled to the Edge of Town and Hanged From a Bridge on the Road to the Scene of Their Crime. Glencoe, Minn., Sept. 8.—The murder of Joseph Kogers has been avenged and the perpetrators of that horrible crime last June have been made to suffer the extreme penalty. Their bodies are now lying at the city hall, cold in death, and their lives were taken by a revengful mob of friends of the murdered man. Between the hours of 12 and 1 Sat- urday night JailerWaddell was aroused from his slumbers by a gentle rap at his door, and, opening it, a crowd of masked men, probably thirty in num- ber, confronted him and forced their y into the residence portion of the ey then demanded the keys and fused, but in order to avoid serious consequences the keys to the corridor were finally turned over to the determined mob. The jailer refused to obey the demand to open the doors and was finally tied down to a chair while the mob proceeded to break the locks to the cages. After accomplishing this they seized the prisoners, ordered them to dress hastily, and in spite of their pitiful requests to be given an opportunity to say a few words, were gagged and taken away. The jailer im- mediately gave the alarm by notifying Sheriff Sandman, who in turn notified Coroner Miles, and a search was im- mediately begun. A short time later the bodies were found Hanging From the Bridge crossing Buffalo creek, on the road which leads to the scene of the crime. The bodies wi not yet entirely stiff, having apparently been hanging less than an hour. The body of Cingmars was hanging on the east side and that of Musgrove on the west, exactly as they stood when the murder was com- mitted. The bodies were raised to the bridge by the sheriff and coroner and taken to the city hall, where they were prepared for burial. The rope used was an inch rope and the drop was something like fifteen feet. Their necks were broken by the fall, When found their feet were hanging in the water about a foot. No marks of vi- olence were found on the bodies. The two men, Jailor Waddell and Guard Hopps, who were overpowered, are in a terribie state of mind over their experience, and were so excited at the time that they were unable to give any description of the men who comprised the mob. All wore black masks and nore but the leader spoke. The locks were broken off the cages with a sledge hammer. The best peo- ple in the city are loud in their de- nunciation of the act, and while all agree that the men should have been made to suffer the extreme penalty, they were in favor of letting the law take its course. The action of the mob is being severely criticised by the res- idents and the feeling against mob law is severe. An inquest will be held over the remains to-morrow. The mother of Cingmars is here and the relatives of both men have been noti- fied, but have not yet been heard from. Musgrove was found guilty of murdc in tye secord degree, while Cingmars had hed no trial. Sailor V Jailor Edward Waddell told his story to a reporter as follows: “[ heard a knock at the door of my living rooms between 12 and 1 o'clock. I went and opened the door, and in walked a lot of big, strong men with black cloth masks on their faces. They demanded me to open the door leading into the jail corridor, and when I re- fused the leader of the party, a large, ‘heavy man, proceeded to break down the iron door with a sledge hammer, I toid him not to break the door, as I was afraid the night watch on the in- side would shoot when the door gave way. He then took me by the shoulder and told me to get the keys at once, and I started after them, the leader pushing me along with one hand and holding the siedge in the other hand. After I got the keys they tied my hands behind me and then proceeded to unlock the cage, but when the cells were reached the keys could not be found that fitted the large locks, and the leader smashed them with his sledge. ahe night watch, Adolph Hopps, was pushed into one corner of the jail and held there by several of the party. T said to the mob: ‘Men, think over what you are going to do. The day will come when you will re- gret your actions here to-night. Let the law take its course,’ but no plead- ings of mine could stop the determined mob. After the mob reached the cell the prisoners were told to dr hur- riedly, and I hope I may never live to witness such a terrible sight again. The two men preyed and begged pite- ously, but they were not allowed tu open their mouths, and were gagged, and a cloth tied over their heads. In leading the prisoners out, as they passed me, they tried to tell me some- thing, but the orly word I could hear was ‘Mother,’ from Cingmars. After the mob passed out, and as soon as [ was untied by the night watch I gave the alarm to the sheriff.” June 25 Dorman Musgrove of Ken* tucky and C. A. Cingmars of Rhine- lander, Wis., killed Sheriff Joseph Rog- ers while he was attempting to arrest them for assaulting a farmer. An at- tempt was made to lynch them and a company of tilitia was sent from St. Paul tu protect them. The men were taken to St. Paul for safe keeping un- til the trial last week. They were granted separate trials and Musgrove was Saturday convicted of murder in the second degree. Elevator and Cars Burne. Springfield, Minn., Sept. 8. — The Sleepy Eye Milling company’s elevator at Cobden has been burned. Several freight cars belonging to the Chicago & Northwestern read, standing on the siding near the elevator, were also burned. The origin of the fire is thought to have been incendiary.

DOWN A HILLSIDE Fatal Accident To a Coaching Party In Indiana, Warsaw, Ind., Sep. 10.—A frightful accident occurred to-day to a coaching party of young people whieh started out from this city. When about five miles north of this city the horses took fright at some object in the road. They backed the rear wheels of the tallyho over an embankment and the people, horses and vehicle were relled down a hillside in a mangled and bloody mass. six persons were killed..

An Explosion in a Wausau Store With Disastrous Results, Wausau, Wis., Sept. 10.—This morn- ing a great commotion was caused in the business center of the city by an explosion of turpentine gas in W. W. Alber’s drug store. It resulted in al- most the total loss of the stock and se- rious personal injury to two clerks, William Borchardt and William Bar- tel. The clerks were in the basement drawing turpentine from a barrel into an iron tank to preserve it and the gas fumes filled the cellar. Borchardt struck a match to look for a cork and immediately there was an explosion and a fire that came near shutting off escape. Borchardt was burned so badly that the skin peeled off his face and hands but Bartel was burned only on the hands. A screen door in front of the store, sixty feet away, was blown off. The building was badly damaged in the rear and the stock is a total loss. The stock was estimated to be worth $8,000; insurance on stock, $5,000; on building, $2,000. DYNAMITE AND LOCK WORK, A Terrible Method of Suicide Taken Iowa Farmer, Iowa, Sept. 10.—A hor- rible case of suicide is reported from Ellsworth township, Emmett count Ss. Palsey was living alone on sec- 11, a mile or more from neigh- bors. Last evening, after removing all his outer clothing, he lay down on the bed and placed a stick of dynamite under his pillow, attached to an elec- tric battery. The explosion ended his life. The windows of the house were all broken by -the force of the ex- plosion, a hole was torn in the roof and the room spattered with clotted blood, brains and feathers. The man’s head was blown to fragments. Palsey came to Emmett county from Storey county in 1891, and contracted for 450 acres of land, which he occupied up to the time of his death. He was a widower and leaves a family of four grown sons, two of whom reside in Emmett county, the others in Nevada, Iowa. Army Officer Stricken, Helena, Mont., Sept. 10—Capt. Chas. Hoyt, assistant quartermaster, U. S. A., was stricken with apoplexy last night while returning from target prac- tice at the fort. Friends came to his ay ance and carried him to his of- fice.

Glencoe, Minn., Sept. 10—The inquest over the remains of Henry A. Cinq Mars ard Lorman Musgrove, the vic- tims of lynch law, came to an end to- day, fruitless and unproductive of any- thing save suspicions, which are only breathed in whispers. For the present the investigation has been abandoned, to be renewed, perhaps, by the grand jury, which meets next month, and per- haps by persons who niay be induced to probe into the affair by the offer of a reward by the state or county. At- torney General Childs left for St. Paul to-day. While he said that he had not fully determined whether to recom- mend to the governor that a reward be offered, he has intimated in casual conversation that he thought such an offer might throw some light on the case, and it is thought that he will so recommend. There were but three amined to-da Louis Albright, a hard- ware merchant; Joe Havlish, a private night watchman employed by the mer- chants of the village, and Pat Dixon, the regular village night watch. The testimony of the two latter, while throwing no positive light on the af- fair, served materially to increase the wonder as to how it was possivle for the party to have organized, conducted its work and dispersed without giving any sign of its presence or what was going on save at the jail. Both men testified that it was a dark night with nobody stirring, and no unusual lights in any of the houses of the village. Neither one of them had heard any hint of danger of lynching before’ and so were not especially looking trouble of any kind, and so it was that a mob of twenty or thirty men gath- ered, entered the jail and carried off their victims almost from under their very noses, and then dispersed with- out attracting any attention. Masks were seen lying about the street Sun- day morning, and one even as late as Monday morning, so that some of the party must have come back through town, but neither their going nor their coming was noticed by any cne. It is ising that it was concluded no use in pursuing the inquiry any further at this time. Mr. Albright, the other witness, was called because he had told Messrs. Childs and Allen that on Saturd he had made a sale of 10 cents’ worth of rope like that used by the lyn hers. He thought he had _ sold the rope, enough for a couple of halters, to a farmer named Jensen, but was con- fident that there y not more than twenty feet of it. The inquest was ad- journed in order to give Mr. Allen a chance to interview Jensen and ac- unt for that rope. Mr. Jensen, how- *, denied having bought any rope . although he had made other s in Mr. Albright’s store on The verdict was that the n¢ to their death at the hands ties unknown to the jury. Waddell’s break is the talk of 2. for he said he gave up the s of the jail to the mob because he might damage the lo some of the woodwe he nor Watchman Hopps tried way to repel the mob, and nkly adinit it, all of which has led rtion that both were h the movements of itnesses ex- AWAKENED IN TIME. Stratling Discovery Made by Mr. Christie When Roused from Sleep. St. Paul, Sept. 10. — A bold attempt was nade at an early hour this morn- ing to destroy an entire family by set- ting fire to the building in which they were sleeping, at the corner of Cleve- Jand and Marshall avenues in Merri- am .Park. Patrick Christie keeps a little cigar and confectionery store at that corner, and a few minutes after 6 o'clock this morning he was awak- ened by his wife and told that she was sure some one was in the house. Christie carefully got out of bed and started to go out through the bed room door, when he was paralized with amazement to find it locked. Feeling that something was wrong he went out of his window on to the shed roof and then into another room down stairs. When he reached the first floor he found the store room in a blaze. He called the fi department, upon the arrival of which it was discovered that a fire had also been started in another room some distance from the store, a sofa having been carefully saturated with oil. The fire was extinguished with slight loss. It was supposed to be the work of an organized gang of firebugs.

LABOR DAY OFF. pants? Vork: Throughout the United Ba mi states Ceelebrate. Chicago, Sept. 9—The labor organiza- tions of Chicago’ celebreted Labor day with a parade in which probably 40,- 000 men participated, practically every trades union in the city being repre- sented. The weather was ideal, and the streets were thronged at an early hour by the sons of toil and their families, Shops and factories were generally closed in recognition of the workingman’s holiday, and all public offices, the board of trade and many down town stores remained closed all day. The chief attraction of the day was the speech of William J. Bryan at Sharpshooters’ Park. There was also speaking at Ogden’s Grove by prominent labor leaders. Cleveland Is Loyal. Cleveland, Sept. 9.—Labor day in this city was celebrated by a monster pa- rade of working men in which it_was estimated that from 10,000 to 15,000 persons took part. A feature of the demonstration was a number of marchers representing colored slaves and tramps, illustrating their views of the present condition of the working- man. Among the transparencies car- ried was one which reads: “When Will Capital and Labor Get Togther? and another “We Still Live.” An im- mense float carried a big picture of William J. Bryan, which was festooned with American flags. At Kansas City. Kansas City, Sept. 9.—The Labor day parade in Kansas City exceeded that of past days in number and merit. The parade, with over 5,000 workingmen in line, marched through the streets in the morning, beautiful weather aiding in making it successful. All business Was suspended and the streets were lined with people. At two of the parks games and political speechmaking completed the programme. Among the speakers were Gov. Morrill of Kansas, State Labor Commissioner Bird, R. Lewis, Republican candidate for go ernor of Missouri, and several minor candidates. Milwaukee in Line. Milwaukee, Sept. 9. — The working- men of Milwaukee laid aside their tools of trade and appeared in gala at- tire. The weather was favorable fur marching and the parade in the fore- noon was voted 2 success. Grand Mar- shal Frank Miller stated that he thought he had about 7,000 or 8,000 men in line. Not a single banner of a political nature was displayed and there were none bearing upon the spe- cial rights or demands of working- men except two or three. At the Nation's Capital. Washington, Sept. 9.—Labor da celebrated here with the usual street parade and picnics and excursions by the several union organizations. The weather was perfect and an unusual number of sporting and other events served to bring out large crowds. Two games of base ball with the St. Louis team, a number of bicycle races at the International Park and two circus performances furnished entertainment for many thousands. McKinley Decorates, Canton, Sept. 9.—There was no form- al Labor day demonstration in Canton, although there was a general cessation of work. Organized labor of Canton joined in the demonstrations in near- by cities. Many buildings about the city are decorated. About the first and most notable decoration in honor of the day v de at the McKinley home. It 2 magnificent American flag set flying to the breeze with the earliest morning sunbeams. A tele- phone message received at the Mc- Kinley home from the Chicago nation- al Repub! n headquarters announced that when the Labor day parade passed the Auditorium there was great cheering for McKinley. The Ohio Republican editors will visit Can- ton to-morrow and pay their respects to Maj. McKinley. Listen to Speeches. St. Paul, Sept. 9.—St. Paul and Min- neapolis union laborers had a picnic at | interesting | White Bear. ‘The most event was the speech of Labor Com- missioner L. G. Powers for the gold standard, and Sidney M. Owen for sil- ver. Both gentlemen delivered mag- nificent addresses and _ received the very closest attention from those as- sembled. New York, Sept. 9. — Business was generally suspended and workshops and faetories were closed, but there Was no procession to mark the re- currence of Labor day in this city. Those who were released from their customary toil spent the day for the most part in the parks, in excursions, or as spectators at the ball games, rowing regattas, horse races or ath- letic contests which took place in or near the city. Practically the same conditions existed in Brooklyn. In Yonkers the day was made notable by the laying of the corner stone of the Holywood inn building, a structure which is to cost about $120,000, and which is designed to supply the work- ingmen a pl: of resort which. shall be more attractive than the saloons. Dog Show in Toronto. Toronto, Ont., Sept. 9.—The dog show at the industrial exposition this year excels that of former years not only in point of numbers, but in quality of animals. The show of St. Bernards is very good, the Belle Isle kennels of Detroit being well represented. A number of handsome toy spaniels are shown by Mrs. Lee of Alto kennels, Detroit. Coming to America, Cork, Sept. ¥.—At a meeting of the local amnesty committee here it was. arranged to send Albert G.

The power of the mocking bird to amuse folks is not confined to its abil- ities as a rich-voiced singer. The more birds are studied the more students wonder what they can't do. Birds with some marked characteristics are sometimes neglected in other respects than their peculiarity and so it happens that the mocking bird is better known as an imitative singer than as an orig inal one, and that it was a dancer as much almost as a heron or crane few were aware. ‘The mocking birds dance methodic- ally, like woodmen in a square dance, rather than with the wild gyrations of a darkey hoe-down. They keep their bodies stiff, with heads and tails erect, their wings drooping and feath- ers flattened out, something like the English sparrow when hopping about before its sweetheart; but the spar- row’s feathers are thrown out usually instead of being flattened against the body. Two of the mocking birds make a set, and they bound along, jumping rather high, but not far, going from one end of the playground to the other, one behind the other about a foot, and each one at the end of the playground turns in a circle slowly and with dig- nity, and goes back again. Sometimes they stop and look at some distant ob- ject, day dreaming, apparently, then away they go again. Mr. Blake tells about a hen that was disturbed by the actions of a pair of mocking birds in their dance, where- upon she left her brood of chickens and charged the couple with clucks and fluttering feathers. Up went the mocking birds with true mocking bird talk, scolding and sputtering at the hen until they finally drové her away. —Popular Science Monthly. Agents Wanted.

Gladness Comes wit a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before proper ef- forts--gentie efforts—pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt- ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, andis everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts.
