Wichita Falls, 1 exits, Feb. 23.
At S:30 last night, si mob of several
thousnnd persons aUuukcd the jail
here, where Foster Crawford and "The
Kitl' wcro confined. After u show of
lesistaucc on thu part of tlie author
Hie., the mob battered in the jail
doors and forcibly took possession of
the prisoners
Thu two men wore taken to the
bank which they attempted to rob
Tuesday, and an Improvised sealTo'.d
was erected, The first impulse of the
mob was to burn the prisoners, but
valmcr counsel prevailed.
Yells of "Hang 'The Kid' first" weut
tip. Then others. "No, hung the old
est first." "The Kid" refused to say a
word, and those having him in charge
yanked him onlo tv box. The scene
was u weird one. One had on high
heeled boots, black pan's and a deep
red' flannel shirt, which added a g rue
some brilliancy to the scene. In a
moment the rope was about his neck
and a man who, some say, looked like
one of the men whose horse had been
taken, fixed one end across the cross
bar. All this time "Thu Kid" was
jeering at the audience, laughing and
cursing. Ho never quivered. He was
asked to say what he wanted, and was
told ltc would be given a hcsirlng.
He said: "That's all right. If you
tire impatient, swine; me up now. I
ain't afraid to die, not a d n bit of it.
Pull the rope. '
A voice in the audience: "Von are
going to die now. Tell us your name."
"The Kid:"' "My name is Younger
Lewis, mid my father and mother re-
hide at Neosho, Mo
Any message'.'" from a voice in the
crowd.
"Well, tell mv
father I was not
.scared a bit; that
I died like a nervy
man. '
"Anything for your mother'.'"
"No, not a word. She will see the
message to the old man. Say, you
fellows go and look in thatdugo'ut and
you will find SH'.MIO there."
"The Kid," or Younger Lewis, as he
at the last moment hays lie was, con
tinued laughing uud chatting witli the
crowd, poking fun at them anil curs
ing for a moment, and then some one
veiled: "Time is up."
"The Kid" baid: "I am 20 years old,
and robbed that bank. I
u m dead game and ready to die. Oo
ahoiid."
In an instant lie was muled up
above the throng. He never quivered
or kicked, lie just wont up in the
air and was left hanging. Men on
the frontier for years and years ssty
no gamer man ever died. He wsts the
contest man in all the great crowd.
Al. Mm while Crawford was a spec
tator of the scone. lie begun to
weakun uud confessed, giving some
valuable information. lie placed the
responsibility for the orinia on the
"Kid."
The mob pulled him onto the im
provised platform next to the bank
he attempted to rob, and his head was
ationton a level with the dangling
feet of his companion, lie asked for
Captsiin llurnctt. The latter was a
spectator in the crowd. He went to
Crawford and had a long talk. Craw
ford had worked on Harnett's ranch
for years and was a trusted man He
began stealing his employer's stock,
however, and associating "with terri
tory outlaws. Crawford confessed to
thc'huuk robbery, but denied the mur
der. Ho was a small man, poorly
clad, with red face and short clipped
black mustache.
When they began to look for a sec
ond rope, lie begged for whisky. It
was given to him. He talked and then
begged for more. He again addressed
the crowd in Comanche, English and
Spanish. Those who understood him
ssiy his utterances were incoherent.
The rope soon arrived and it was put
about his neck. lie fell, either in si
faint or from the whisky he had
drank. Mo was soon strung up along
with liis companion and their bodies
are still dangling in mid-air.
Thu lynched men raided the City

lynching the two robbers, but feared
to advance on the jait as long sis thu

A private cable dispatch reports that

There are . sinus that the revolution

tinctly religious cast, and the Leon

Tlie Liberals have no confidence in
the ostentatious display of sympathy
for Zelaya by leading Conservatives in

the Conservatives, tlie richest, most
inlluential people in the nonntrv The
inlluence of thu highcit social classes

Semite.
Washington; Fob. 27. Mr. Quay re
ported tlio army appropriation bill in
the Senate to-day audgavu notice that
ho would call it up to-inoriow.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska returned to
thu tariff question by referring to tlio
statements of Mr. Morrill,, Mr. boot
man and Mr. Piatt during the exciting
debate yesterday. Mr. Allen satd ho
had believed that it was the honest
purpose of the Republican party to
enact a law placing gold aud silver on
equal terms, lint tlio debate of yes
terday doveloped that the Republican
leaders, under no circumstances, would
accept a free coinage measure. Under I
tlio circumstances, he would submit a
distinct proposition to tlio chairman
of the finance committee, namely that
ho (Allen) would assure sufllclent Pop
ulist votes to givu a majority of the
Senate, if the passage of thu tariff bill
,us uccompauicil by tlio adoption ot a
free silver amendment.
Mr. Morrill remained in his scat
without responding, but Mr. Hoar of
Massachusetts made the point that the
discussion was out of order.
Unanimous consent was given, how
ever, to Mr. Allen to proceed. He
criticised the financial record of Mr.
Sherman. The Republican party
could not escape, said Mr. Allen, from
the attitude of declining to rcinone
tizo silver. "Thu Populist senators
are ready to swallow your nauseating
and unjust tariff measure," sstid Mr.
Allen, "if you will placo silver on
equal terms with gold; but you will
not do it."
Mr. Allen then turned his attention
to Mr. McKinloy nnd had read from
the desk a speech said to have been
delivered by the cx-Uovcrnor of Ohio.
Mr. Allen referred to Mr. McKinloy as
the chief apostle of protection, and
the speech purported to givu Mr. Me
Kinley's severe criticism of the de
monetization of silver. In conclusion
Mr. Allen held up a bill, exclaiming:
"Now, to test your integrity and good
faith, I offer this bill. It is yonr
tariff bill, without a 'T" uncrossed or
nn '!' nndottcd, except In the title.
And I sny to yon that if you arc ready
to show the good faith of your asser
tions for silver and link it with the
tariff bill, we pledge you six Populist
votes."
Mr. Allen's blil was read, it being
the tariff bill uud a freu silver bill
combined.
Mr. linker of Kansas asked if Mr.
Allen would agree to deliver the six
Kansas votes for a tariff' bill with an
amendment restricting thu silver pro
duct to American mines.
"1 have not consulted my colleagues
on that," responded Mr. Allen. "Anil
I do not undertako to direct the Popti.
list vote beyond this specific proposi
tion. Personally I would not agree
to it" .
Thero was some discussion as to the
merits of Mr. Halter's suggestion.
The Allen compromise bill weut to
the tablo temporarily.
Mr. Lindsay of Kentucky offered mi
amendment to tlio tariff resolution of
Mr. Carter, directing the finance com
mittco to report back a repeal of the
one-eighth differential on sugar.

Shelby, coininaiiding tlie Fulled States
Confederate veterans of Missouri, yus
tcrday rceolrctl an inquiry from n
Mow York paper asking for an expron
Mon of his vicwa on tlio action of Com
mander-in Chief Wulker of the 0- A,

posed marching of the members ot tlio
Grand Army of the Republic in uni
form and tlio Confederate veterans in
uniform at tlio Fourth of July demon
stration next Milliliter in New York
city. Replying to the query, lioncral
Shelby sent the following telegram:
When tJencral Leo furled the Hag
and stacked arms ut Appomatox, then
and there thu colors and uniform ot
Iho Confederacy wcro burled for all
timo. The idol of bravo men lay shat
tered as the stars and r.triptv, floated
again itt its old timo place. Heroes
wept at the burial, but raised their
faces to salute the Hag of an undivided
and indivisible country. Anil we, who
still stand 'this sldo of the
weary door of death,' enjoying tlio
freedom and protection vouchsafed to
us by our common country and that
fitig, realize that there Is but one Hag
aud ono uniform, ono aymbol and one
nrmy, for our common country. C'lti
zunship Is broader than .sentiment mid
duty greater than tender recollections,
lint above all, trtio Americanism is
chief of this trinity of vlrtucB.
And so the ex-soldlery, whetbor of
tlio North or of tlio South, should
maintain that spirit of duty, citizen
ship and Amorlcanisui which will
banish sectionalism, bitterness aud
prejudice, and tie us together with a
fourfold bond of respect, esteemiffec
tion mid patriotism.
Relieving, therefore, as I do, that In
the paradu as proposed in yonr city
July J next, of the Ornnd Army of the
Republic in National uniform, nnd
the ex-Con federates in grey uniform
with stars and bars, would bo incon
gruous and mar the harmony of that
occasion, I indorso cordially and com
mend thu action of tJoncral Walker,
conimniider-lii-chlof. in the course ho
i has taken. Our griefs tiro private
! thu Sunny Southland all billowed
over with tlio graves of our deud from
1 the sea to Iho gulf, Invites our lovo
and claims our tendcrcst care. And
it is no part of our duty or patriotism
to obtrude ourselves or our private
sorrows into the marching columns of
the Grand Army.

CollrKe-llreil Women.
It Is a Bomowhnt rcmarkablo fact that
out of tho upward of 4,000 women off
this country who aro physicians, not!
mora than 200 havo a col lego training,
'according to Prcsldont Thwlng of tho
WoBtcrn Ueservo University. Ot tho
1,235 women preachers and 208 -women,
lawyers In tho country but few nro col
lego bred. Even moro surprising is tho,
fact that tho collegoB havo contributed,
very fow of tho literary women ot tho
country. Most of tho women's collogo
graduates becomo teachers or ornament
homes. Many of the preachers, being
good talkers, do not undertako tho regu
lation threo years' course In theology,
but go right ahead and dlscourso from
tho pulpits, learnedly or otherwise.
Women do not, on tho whole.'secm to
cara to pursuo a liberal college course
whoro they havo a deflnlto professional,
purpose In view. They becomo doctors
through practlco as nurses nnd study
with physicians. Thoy becomo preach
ers through feeling what they count as
"Inspiration," and lawyers through of
flco Bervlco under promfnent jurists.
Perhaps existing conditions will
change, but at tho present Ib Is a fact
that outside of tho teaching profession
tho women's colleges furnish a small,
proportion of those who are gifted and
successful In the professions.

Beautiful, finely woven, largo, round
baskets now come cheap, and after be

An attractive addition to children's
toys aro animals made of wood and

A novelty in pin-cushions is a tiny
stand upon which tho cushion is placed.
This stand is about fourteen Inches
long by eight inches wide, and rests on
four round posts or balls. It is of wood,

poker-work, or It may be veneered In
different woods. ,
Funeral flowers aro no longer all
white, and set pieces are not desired.
Hoxcs of looso flowers aro most ofton
sent by friends, although small wreaths
aro still used, but have become so full
that thoy aro moro like a round mat,
of flowers. At a recent funeral each
member of a largo family laid a wreath
of violets on the mother's coflln.
