A RAVISBER LYXCHED
A NEGRO FIEND SWUNG UP IN
OMAHA.
TIM Karate Pepttlaeo formed a Mot
and. Battering; Dow Jail Doors Hanged
tbe Mleerable Caiprlt on One or Omn
ka'a Priaclaal strweta.
Joe Coe, a disreputable negro at vJr.SaVa
who raped Lizzie Yates, a S-year-oId little
Rtrl, was lynched et the hands ot a mob.
The ob being refused entrance to tbo Jail
battered down the doors and brtibed &Mde
all wbo offered opposition. Policetnpn who
Interfered were picked up bodily J- h
crowd and carried to one shit. Vlien it
was proposed to call the Bremen and turn
the hoee oa the crowd the mvb slaiply car
ried away the lines and drove the fircmon
away. Inside the Cage the negro boszert
and pleaded. Be insisted ho was chained
with burglary. "Damn you we will burgle
you," came the answer. He prayed and
cried and rolled on the P.cor In terror. His
shrieks for mercy were answered with blows
that brought his executttracrs nearer to
him. Al laat the cage was open. Then
with one last yell of terror the tiegro was
veiled by the bands of men eager for his
blood and thrust through the corridor ct
the door. Here mu to identify !)Un were
called for, as it was determined to make no
mistake. Soon those who knew blra pressed
forward and his doom was scaled. A Iamb
would have fared better amid a pack of
wolves Coe was not torn limb from limb,
but be got a thousand curses una a bio
tor every curse. There Is a urivoway oT
fifty yards loading from th jail lo tbo in
tersection ot Seventeenth and Harney
Street. This Is paved with granite. Over
this way road the rotchtd nezro was
dragged by hln ruthless captors. Since he
had reached the door he hud not spoken a
word, and In all probability wa uncotiMoiis.
By the time the street was readied be wa
dead. It mattered not though life va ex
tinct, be must hang and oVrr a trolley
wire of the electric car line went the roji..
one end of which had served to drag tbu
doomed man from his cell. Then It'" hands
pulled and 100 men surged haik. and liib
above tbo street, directly in frutit of the
new Boyd theater, swung the lifeless cot pil
ot Omaha's latest rape fiend.

Be Tells tbe Chilians ot to Foot With
the United States.
The Chilian government has r
evinced no intention ct fibanlnning its i o
sltlon that it Ras a perfect right to arrest
pot-soils is they enter or leave the pre
cincts of the American legation. But while
strenuously Insisting upon the possession of
this abstract right, tho government Is at
present making no attempt to put it In
practice. Tho partisans o! ttalhiacedai
who took retugc under Minister Egan's
roof at Sahtlago. are still theroi and no ar
rest" have boert Wade during tht past few
days, it cannot ho learned that the gdv
ernmeht has In contemplation any plan for
a serting In tbe near future the right of
arrest that Is claimed. But it is thought
tbe present unsatisfactory situation cannot
be of long continuation. In accordance
with Instructions received from the state
ticpftrtaicni at Washington, Minister Eaan
has given the junta to understand by for
mal aud nClclal notice that if the Chilian
authorities continue to maintain their
present attitude the friendly relations be
tween Chill and tlltf United States Will be
Interrupted. The junta's reply to tula
uotice N awaited with interest.
TVII.L TKV Hit. BBHiGS.
The Liberal Prenbyterian Will Be Called
to an Account for 1IU Views.
On a test vote to dismiss tho proceedings
against Dr. Charles A. Brlggs for heresy In
the New York Presbyterian synod It was
decided to proceed with tho trial by the
close vote of 04 to 62. A majority of the
clergy voted to dismiss aud a majority of
tbe elders to proceed. The charses In brief
are as folio as: Disbelief in the bible as
the only true source of diilnc authority,
disbelief In tho terli.il iii-nlration and iurr-laiK-j
of the vciiptme3. a disbelief in the
iiiiiiiettiati .notification at death of the
soul of those dying In the faith. The In
dictment bases the rhargc-i against Prof.
Briggs solely on his inaugural address, be
cause it Is a most deliberate and emphatic
expression of hN doctrines. Meantime Dr.
Briggs is occupying tho chair In the semi
nary, which the general assembly said he
should not fill, by a vote of 410 to CO. but
the directors by a vt? of 22 to 2 at a meet
ing held just after the trembly adjourned,
declarim: that Ur. Urigs should hao that
chair, and the committee on conference, ap
pointed by the general assembly. Is soon to
meet the directors to talk over the compact
made between the two bodies In 1S70. Tho
seminary people stand almost a unit for
Dr. Briggs.
DEMAND FOR HOG PKOiJUCTS.
Increasing Rapidly In European Countries
Desire for More Inspectors.
Secretary Rusk, of the agri-mltural de
partment, says that since the embargo
acainst American hog products has been
raised by France and Germany there has
never been a single complaint from those
countries as to the quality or condition of
the shipments, of which there havo been
many. The secretary also said that the
demand fr hog products is increasing
rapidly. Even at this stage the demand Is
so great that there is not a single dealer In
them in this country who has not received
orders from both France and Germany.
This information tbe secretary gets from
the letters the dealers have written to him.
Those dealers urge him to Increase the
number of places where inspections are had
and to add to his force of inspectors. This
he is unable to do because of a lack of
funds. He Is doing all that be can do with
the appropriation at bis command. Ho will,
however, recommend to congress that a
sum sufficient to cover tbe expenses of a
prompt Inspection of bog products destined
for foreign market be made. As tho
case now stands the Inspection will bave to
be confined to Omaha, Chicago, Milwaukee,
Kansas City and Boston.
Judgment for the Railroad.
John U. Ames, the referee in tbe case ot
Nebraska .vs. the Atchison 6 Nebraska
railway' now owned by the Burlington, bas
filed bis report with the supreme court.
This is the case instituted by ex-Attorney-General
Leese to declare forfeited the
charter of the Atchison A Nebraska
railway'from the fact that it was Illegally
consolidated with tbe Burlington A Mis
souri to the dcscructlon of competition and
to the corresponding injury of the commun
ities through which the Atchison & Nebras
ka operated its lines. Mr. Ames' findings
are for the defendant railroad companies
ne gives u careful ajjd detailed review of
tbe evidence adducedand upon' the facts
so elicited renders his findings.
A Great Cigar Trast-
The leading cigar manufacturers of New
York City held a meeting for the forma
tion of a gigantic cigar trust to include all
the prominent cigar manufacturers of the
United States. Its purpose is to organise
on the same lines as tbe consolidation of

Committees were appointed and arrange
ments are well under way. It Is proposed
for the combination" to buy the leaf to-'i
bacco direct from the planters and save the
middlemen's profit.

the kite-shaped track at Stockton, Cal..

ALLERTON THE KING.
THE MATCH RACE BETWEEN TWO
GREAT STALLIONS.
Nelson Took the First Heat and Then
Alterton'fl Blood WBrnted L'f) Bd He
Took Tlrrea Straigut Heats ana the
Kace Best Time :13t
Twenty thousand people witnessed the
S'elson-AUerton face at Grand Rapids for
a purse of 510,000. Both horses werfedrived
by their owners. A lie rt on coquetted in
scoring, but the animals got away In beau
tiful style finally, with kelson closely hug:
ging the pole, a head in advance. The pace
was the sort that kills from the start. The
quarter was niado lu :32, with Nelson a
length In advance. At the half Nelson was
wo lengths hi advance. Allerton gained a
length at tho three-quarters, but just as
they swung into tho stretch went off his
feet for an instant, and Nelson won the heat
in 2:13 by an open length. The crowd
nearly went crary over tbe result, but the
bookmakers still retained Allerton as the
favorite, ttt tile second heat the relative
positions of the animals to the three-quarter
post was nearly A repetition of the first.
Entering the home 6tretch Nelson swerved
toward tho middle of the course and fal
tered a moment. Allerton took advantage
of this and finished by halt a length in
2:14- In the third heat Nelson led as be
fore at the back stretch, Allerton being half
a doien lengths behind. On the down
stretch he pulled up even with Nelson
by a phenomenal burst of speed. All the
efforts of Nelson's driver to Increase that
animal's speed were of no avail, and Aller
ton easily won by an open length In 2:15.
In tho fourth heal both drivers held the
horses in chock, they being head by head
all the way to tho home stretch, when Al
lerton again showed superiority and passed
the grand stand leading by an open length,
winning the heat and race In 2:16.
PARNEIX IS NO MOKE.
1 Great Irlnh Leader Dies at Brighton
Alter a Brier Illness.
eharles Stewart Parnell, the noted Irish
leader, died suddenly at hU home at
Brighton. It is well known that Parnell
had not enjoyed tbe best health for years,
and it has been noticed and commented on
that since the O'Shea divorce developments
and the iKjlitical trouble came upon him the
gieat Irish indmber of parliament had
grown thinner and perceptibly aged In ap
pearance, but uoltody expected to hear of
his death, aud no Inkling as to his illness
had reached the newspapers. He died at
his home, Walsingbam terrace, Brighton.
Death is said to have been indirectly due to
a chill which he Caught lust week and
which at first was not regarded ns serious.
Parnell. however, grew worse, and a physi
cian was called In with the result that the
put lent a as ordered to take to bed. From
tlmt time Parnell lost strength until he
tiii.tlly succumbed. From the day he tovk
to bed, the .state of Parnell' health wa
stich as to necessitate the constant attend
ance of two physicians, but In spite of the
Incc&sant efforts to prolong or -ave his life.
Parnell gradually suuk lower and lower
until ho expired in the arms of Mrs. Par
nell, who is utterly prostrated by the shock.
A Kt-POKT OX AIIIZOXA.
The Governor Tells Abont the Progreaa
In the Territory.
noting Gov. Murphy, of Arizona, In his
anuual report expresses the opinion that
the population will teach 70.000 before the
end of the present, fiscal year. There arc
at least, he says. 12,000 Mormons In the ter
ritory engaged iu agriculture and mining.
The totul value of all taxable property In
the territory, according to the report of the
territorial board, including land, improve
ments horses, mules, cattle, sheep and
railways, 128,270. 166. This amount, how
ever, tbo acting governor regards as en
tirely too low, and he is of the opinion that
S70.000.000 would bo much nearer the fact.
Mining, which has always been the fore
most wealth producing industry of Ari
zona, has been very active, and the exports
for 1691 will, it is thought, exceed those of
any previous year. The governor esti
mates tbo copper output at 30,000,000
pounds, gold 51.132.955, and silver at
fl,663,55. During the year very valuable
deposits of superior onyx were discovered,
tbe quality of which is said to be first-class.
IN MEMORY OF GRANT.
Unveiling or tho F.qneatrlan Statue In
Lincoln Park, Chicago.
Tbe heroic bronze statue of Gen. Grant
was unveiled at Lincoln park, Chicago, in
the presence of many thousands, amid
booming cannon and all the accompani
ments worthy of the great general. Tho

ing steadily acrwss the broad expanse of
waves, seemed as if again In life and heed
less of the excited throng about bim, scan
ning tbe horizon for tbe enemies of the
land which In God's providence be had
been called to successfully defend. Tho
enormous crowd gathered there formed an
extraordinary figure, Including not only
tbe high civil and military dignitaries of
the cation, state and city, but those
gathered from far and near who were
closest to tbe dead general personally, and
the wife wbo stood by him for years
and tbe veterans of bis original regiment,
tbe famous old Twenty-first Illinois infan
try, with the Identical colors unfurled at
bis first headquarters tent. The orator of
the day was the stalwart soldier jurist.

WESTERN INNOVATION.
PLANKINTON'S HAPPY SUBSTI
TUTE FOR THE COUNTY FAIR.
A south Dakota Town Seta aa Origin
Example A BeautUel Temple to Cerea
-Art aad Plenty Combined to Croat a
Novel tertlval.
The county fair, subdivision of Hie
genus fair which has been a feature of
agricultural life since remote ages, has
dnally been supplanted ia tho enter
prising commonwealth of South Dakota,
and its place has been supplied by some
thing so entirely new and attractive
that it Is likely to be widely, success
fully and profitably copied. This sub
stitute is nothing" more nor less than the
erection of a grain palace. Plsnkinton,
S. D., is the energetic place to firbt at
tempt tho new order of fair, and from
all appearances it is evident she has
made a 'Hen strike."
Plankinton docs not claim to have
originated the idea of a palaco, for of
late Tears palaces have multiplied, town
after town choosing that method or at
tracting attention to itselfand" Kslenter
prise; but Plankinton is probably tho
Erst community to experiment upon a
distinctly agricultural palace as a sub
stitute for the annual agricultural fair,
and her effort has been a marked suc
cess. 1 ho recent opening of tho Plankinton
gra : palace was auspicious for mors
reasons than one. Plankinton has neve
sutlcred such crop shortage as to be
come subject for outside aid, but she ii
located in a rogion which has for a year
or two before this suffered more or less
from insufficient rainfall. The splendid
crops of 1SU1, however, loaded her gra
naries to overflowing, and from this
abundauce came the beautifully deco
rated grain palace as a thauk-offering
lor nature's lavish bounty.
Sioux City, the nearest commercial
centre, responded to an invitation tc
assist in the inaugural ceremonies of the
palace, and sent a special train load of
representative business men to "rejoice
with those who. -did rejoice." A well
arranged program was carried out,
which included glowing tributes to the
beauties of the palace, the splendid fer
tility of the soil whose products hat
been so artistically drawn upon, aud tc
the hopeful promise of future prosper
ity which the exhibit voiced. A para
graph from the opening address of Pres
ident Andrews indicates the confident
hopefulness of the new state- lie said:
From hillside and plain and valley,
where the silence of ages has lingered,
the white incense of steam, the curling
smoke of industry's fires, and the mu
sical hum of a busy, prosperous and con
tented people ascends like a grand
thank-offering to heaven for the good
time coming, come at" last, thank Godl"
The palace itst'lf, measured by the
rule of proportions, is remarkably cred
itable to its builders. It is, in its ex
terior decoration, distinctly symbolic of
grain, corn occupying no conspicuous
place, but ranking iu its order. The
tasty building, adorned with gable,
tower and minaret, made au attractive
heading for the principle ;treet. Within
every township in the county was rep
resented by an exhibit of agricultural
products, similar to, though more
artistically arranged than the usual
fair exhibits. Tho wheat, flax and other
niall crain specimens won the admira
tion of all. Wheat sheaves from fields
that, yh-lded over forty-six bushels per
aero, and othr grain in proportion, at
tracted conspicuous attention. Tho
i'lankiuto.'i schools occupied a hand
somely arrayed corner, including art
pieces worthy tho best efforts of older
hand and heads."" 1 hree specimens of
genuine art in decoration challenged
particular attention. One was an cite,
with head upraised a if suddenly
startled. The blending of color was
-prodticcd-'with different shades of corn
silk, while the spreading antlers wero
composed of wheat and flax grains.
The whole effect was beautiful and the
general design thoroughly artistic
Opposite this picture was one represent
ing sheep in the field. The wool on the1
animals, perfect in 'appearance, was
composed of clematis. The third piece
was a South Dakota farm house, field
and buildings, tiken from nature and
done in cornsta!k.
Th eonduct of the grain palace festi
val is not particularly differe'iit from
that of the county fair. 'Thero- Is art
instead of horso racing, that s about
all. Hands of music, decorated build
ings, agricultural addresses, stock pen3
all these there is ample time and
space for, but for years to come a new
interest may be given and nw ideas
be developed by tho novelty of artisti
cally embowering a suitable building in
the gorgeous and.easily blending colors
of tho harvest time The painter's
