You can hardly read a paper or magazine now a days unless you see something about the race problem or mob rule in lynching some one, and most every time it is a member of our race. We say be patient. Your answer is, we have been for years. True enough, but let's continue on and justice will be given us some days, only last week in Alabama a man was fined $1000 for holding peons. Justice Brewer of the Federal Supreme court has said in public address that lynchers are murderers. The press is asking for the punishment of law breakers and lynchers and all thoughtful law-abiding citizens wants the laws upheld. A few weeks ago in the southern part of this state there was an effort made to lynch a man because in a fight over the settlement of a poker game one man was struck with such force, by a blow with the fist, he never regained his conscious, both were white, and members of that race were preparing to hang him had not the officers secreted him. The State Bar Association of Illinois in their twenty-seventh annual convention in Chicago last week, passed the following resolutions: Resolved. That the members of the Illinois Bar Association desire to record their severe condemnation of the crime of lying now unhappily prevalent throughout the land, a fragrant instance of which has recently occurred within the borders of this state. We earnestly appeal to all officers of the law to spare no effort to prevent similar atrocities in the future, and to exhaust all legal measures to secure the condign punishment of those guilty of inciting or participating in such lawless and demoralizing offenses against good government and social order. The note was unanimous. So let us continue on being calm, law-abiding; secure all the money you can legitimately and education, learn trades and become self supporting, and when vote support the man who will make laws that will protect all people, regardless of their color, and finally the accused of any crime will be given a fair and impartial trial. Remember, "the darkest hour is just before the dawn." From what some of our exchanges have been saying one would think that The Colored American was not being publish-ary more, however it reaches our office every week. Of course Bro. Cooper is not perfect in all his ways, but how many men are? Don't name too many least they become impaired, but there is one thing sure, and that is, The American is a good publication. It seems strange that some of our so-called leaders and editors can devout so much space for criticism of our race papers and leaders, and say nothing about some of the southern white papers that are continually upholding such laws as the "Jim Crow" and the disfranchisement clause the election laws. We all have our faults, so let us help each other editor and quit "knocking." Much interest is being taken in Old Soldiers' Day at the Iowa State Fair. The date is Tuesday Aug. 25 and an especially good programming has been prepared. Congressman John F. Lacy of Oksaloosa and Hon. N. E. Kendall of Albia will be the speakers of the day. Both are orators of exceptional ability. Following the usual custom, admission to veterans, their wives and widows will be free on the date named. Admission will be governed by the same regulations as were in force last year and a committee of soldiers will be stationed at each gate to make the distribution of tickets as easy as possible. Old Soldiers' Day will be masked, also, by re-unionsof the survivors of the Thirty-Second Iowa Infantry and of the Eighth Iowa. Special programmes are being arranged for these re-unions. The head quarters of the Thirty Second will be in the building formerly occupied as head quarters by the Tenth Iowa. MOB LYNCHERS It does seem that the mob and lynch law is fast spreading in America for hardly a day pass now but that there is an organized mob of howling frenzied lynchers seeking to destroy the life of a human being, especially if the skin of that being is black, but as a mob knows no color, so last week they lynched two whites in in Big Horn, Wyo. and ore in Kentucky, so one can see that the tendency is to tramp our laws under foot and inaugurate the rule anarchy. The greatest problem now for us American people to solve is to prevent the spread of mob and lynchers and to stop it. We cannot depend on the South to stop it for they first started it, it is the problem of the nation to settle, let us have more determined officials to do their duty as protector of the law, let us have more real true Americans who will do their duty as did Sheriff Whitlock who with his brave and noble little wife dispersed a drunken mob of 500 last Saturday, if more of the County, City and State officers would be determined when these mobs come and the good law abiding citizens would assist the officers to do their duty, it would deter many of the organizers of those mobs, it is true that the good people who are law abiding must get together both races and work to one common end and that end to be, let law and order prevail for the 12,000,000 of the colored race will not leave this the land of their forefathers, for we belong here and as a race we must and will stay here.

Holmes, of paralysis, after a lingering illness of almost two years. He was first stricken Oct. 19, 1901, and while at the hospital to receive medical attention he received the second stroke and on last Saturday morning, without any warning to his wife or friends, he was again seized by another stroke which carried him away. Mr. Holmes was born in Mississippi in 1854, and as a result of the civil war he was separated from his folks. At the close of the war he went west with the army to fight the Indians, where he spent several years as a valet to an officer who at the expiration of his service came to Polk county, bringing young Holmes with him. In 1872 he was employed by Hon. Geo. G. Wright, at that time United States Senator, but now deceased, and from that time until 1890 Mr. Holmes was the trusty and faithful servant of this family. So honest and manly was he that they considered him more than a servant. When Geo. G. Wright, Jr., looked for the last time at him, before assisting in bearing off all that remained of his life long friend, the tears ran down his cheeks and he said, "he was one of the best men that ever lived." There are but few who passes through life with such loyal friends, as was the Wright family to the deceased. Such friendship is seldom seen. Mr. Holmes was married to Miss Matilda Lee in 1885. He joined the St Paul's A. M. E. church in 1888, and was one of the active workers—filling all the places of honor and trust, and only ceased work when he was afflicted, more than a year ago. He was also a member of North Star Lodge No. 2., A. F. & A. M., under the auspices of this order he was laid to rest. Mr. Holmes was one of the organizers of the BYSTANDER Co., and there are but few who knew him better than we or admired him for those manly traits as we do. He leaves to mourn his death a faithful wife, an aged mother and three brothers in Benton, Miss., and other relatives and a very large circle of friends. The funeral services were from the A. M. E. church Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock, the Rev. H. S. Graves officiating. The pall bearers were, Carroll Wright, Geo. G. Wright, Wm. Buckner, H. H. Lewis, H. E. Jacobs and W. H. Humburd the floral offerings were many and beautiful. VERY LOW RATES TO CALIFORNIA, OREGON, WASHINGTON AND RETURN. Via Chicago & North-Western RY.

County Attorney Davidson of Clayton County Brings Action Alleging Maladministration and Misdemeanors. Elkader, July 21—County Attorney T. M. Davidson of Clayton county, who has served notice on the county board of supervisors citing them to appear at the September term of court before Judge L. E. Fellows and show why they should not be removed from office foe the commission of official misdemeanors and maladministration, will file his information in the case some time prior to August 20. He will charge against the supervisors, H. G. Jenkins, Harry Meder and S. H. F. Schoule, misappropriation of funds, illegal payment of certain monies held in trust by the late county treasurer, Charles Reignitz, and the overstepping of power in regard to certain purchases of land. At the June session of the board, a representative of the Iowa Publishing company of Davenport obtained from the supervisora a contract calling for a page of statistics and county history from the county. The atlas being published by that house, the price of the page being $75. The county attorney has secured a duplicate of the contract, which is dated October 1, 2015, and illegal expenditure of county money. Another count in the action against the board involves the responsibility of the county for some money in the county for school supplies to the death of Charles Reugritz and the subsequent discovery of a shortage in his accounts. F. E. Heckel for many years been school treasurer and tax collector in Millville township and he would not go to the county seat during a period of two months or more, and he would often pay warrants against the township school fund. Heckel would not go back the money when he went to Elkader. Occasionally the country treasurer would send Heckel warrants which the latter would receipt and return to the treasurer, leaving the county in the vaults in charge of the latter. Shortly after Renitzki's death a received warrant in favor of Heckel for $1,670 was found in the treasurer's office. Heckel acknowledges his signature but denies it. Heckel is charged with assault. Attorney D. D. Murphy, pressing Heckel's claim against the county, advised the payment of the sum demanded and this the board did, against the advice of the county attorney, who held that the late treasurer had been wrongly charged. Heckel's banker, and that therefore the treasurer's bondsmen were holden, and desired that the decision on the matter be left to the district court.

IOWA SOLDIERS BEING ROBBED It Said They Are Giving Away Val uable Land Geria. *Des Moines, July 23—Hundreds of Iowa soldiers are being unconsciously robbed of hundreds of dollars through the clever work of the agents of big land sharks. Unconscious of the fact that the land scorpion and soldiers' additional homestead rights, which they hold are now worth $4.00 per acre they being inside the city, they are into selling script at prices sometimes not approximating the par value of $1.25. Acting Register W. R. Baldridge of the government land office stated yesterday that since the first of July the price of land script and soldiers' aditional homesteads had increased from $1,000 per acre to about $400 per acre. "This" said Mr. Baldridge, "in the result of the new Alaska Homestead act and one or two other causes. The big in crease in the value of the script has been noted by the big land agents and they have had their men buy buying land in the state. It should be called to the attention of all the private citizens in the state holding such script that its value has increased 400 per cent within so short a time and they should see that if they sold it they got the money. It would be impossible to say how much script there is in the state." Mr. Baldridge is much interested in the new Alaska homestead act which has done so much to increase the value of the soldiers' rights. He says there is lots of fine agricultural land in Alaska that is not being crops that is surprising. Mr. Baldridge endorses President Roosevelt's statement that Alaska will one day be one of the greatest states in the union. The new act provides that any person qualified to make a homestead entry must be a citizen, locating it in the regular fashion, the land being in rectangular form not more than a mile long. The land must be filed on within ninety days. No mineral or coal rights are included. The location of 160 acres may be made by scrip, commission or by the payment of $1.25 per acre after fourteen months' residence. OFFICERS OF BANK MISSING.

W. Ackles shot and seriously if not fatally wounded Jack Maher and Isaac Allen, two local young men who in company with George Sines of Adair, had visited his home and had been entertained by Ackles' wife. The two injured men now lie at the county jail, suffering from their wounds. Ackles, his wife and Sines, are lodged in cells, the first two charged with attempt murder, and the second with possible participant in the affray. Maher has a hole in his abdomen, while Allen was hit three times, one ball striking his breast bone, one his shoulder and the third entering his chest in the heart region. This lesion is the serious wound, but he has not been treated. Maher's abdomen have been probed to ascertain the extent of the injuries. Sines came to town Monday after noon from Dexter, and according to his statement, met Mather and Allen for the first time that night. They drank a beer and went to Ackles room, which has recently come under suspicion as not a proper place. A dispute arose between the three young men over a question of money, and while the woman was begging for money, the man appeared from an inner room and fired the shots which may cost two lives. He claims he fired in self defense, that Mather and Allen made an attack upon him, and the man was able to give an account of the story from their view point. The suspicion exists that Ackles has been aware of the many visitors who have frequented his home, indeed he has been on the premise of having been there for several occasions. What constrained him to shoot is a mystery, as his victims were not armed, and are not "bad men" by any manner of means. ELECTRIC ROAD FOR GREENFIELD Cherry's Abandoned Survey May be Used Des Molines, July 31.—Announcement has been made by railroad attorneys this morning that Chicago capital was being interested behind a scheme for using the old Cherry survey of the Des Molines & Southern, which the Rock Island has abandoned after its purchase from F. W. Cherry through Stickney and the to be formed in order to be formed of building a line of electric railroad from Winterset to Greendale via the western route, located and purchased by F. W. Cherry. The company, it is said, proposes to build the railroad at one end of the line and to build the Des Molines interurban railway company at Winterset. The proposal is to operate the two lines in conjunction, having a direct electric connection with Winterset and Greendale. There are twenty-six or twenty-seven miles of road to build. The Rock Island has announced that it will be connected to the southwest connection, running through the townships of Lincoln, Webster Grand River and Lee, Cherry's survey, it was declared, run to Greenwich, and going through the townships of Douglas, Jackson, Harrison and Grove. This line was declared by the Rock Island officials to run too close to its main road. Accordingly, after buying the right of way, the Rock Island decided to use about eight miles of it running west along the section line from Winfield to Harrison, and along the road of the road at the expense of the right of way which had already been purchased. The Greenfield extension of the Rock Island will run more than eight miles south of the main line to Omaha. The real truth of the purchase of the Des Moines $ Southern by the Rock Island has just been given out. President A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great Western bought the line. He sold it to the C. B. & Q, which road in turn sold the line to the Rock Island. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific agents in the deal were forced to pay a spot cash sum for the line. OFFER STANDING REWARD.

TWENTY KILLED BY EXPLOSION Frightful Loss of Life and Property By Blowing Up of Powder Magazine. MANY HOMES ARE WRECKED Houses Near Scene of Disaster Go Down as If Built of Cards-Workmen Poured Nitric Acid on Floor, Thinking It Water. Lowell, Mass., July 20—Two small gun-powder magazines, situated in the very midst of the humble residences of fifty mill operators, exploded yesterday with a frightful concussion, and the resultant wave of death cut off of the lives of more than a score of human beings and injured nearly fifty others. Haifa a dozen men who were loading kegs of powder from one of the magazines of 200 yards away were killed by the force of the explosion, and fourteen frame houses within a radius of 400 yards went down as if they had been thrown into the air, immediately caught fire, probably from the kitchen stoves, and were completely consumed. At least three persons were caught in the ruins and were killed, or eight others, who were rescued, died subsequently of their injuries. It is estimated that seventy separate pieces of property, including those already mentioned, were destroyed, while the force for the expiration of the fire for six miles around, and its thunder could be heard more than fifty miles away. The magazines were the property of the United States Cartridge company this city but fortunately we were not from factory itself. They were built of brick about 10 feet high, with a rounded roof of corrugated iron. They were constructed some thirty years ago, in the early 1900s, and the banks of the Concord river. During the last decade small wooden dwellings have gradually sprung up in the vicinity, crowding nearer and nearer until they almost completely except on the river side, the nearest house being scarcely fifty feet away. One of the magazines was just within the roadside fence while the other was about 100 feet behind it near the wall. The company had ordinarily contained two or three tons of gun powder in tint kegs, each keg being about eightinches high and a foot in diameter. The company has one time been desirous of strengthening the armament of the mine nearest the street and this morning eight men, three of them employees of the company, three expressmen and two carpenters were sent there with the powder and mend the floor. Two of the wagons had been loaded and the other was almost full when at six minutes past 9 oclock the explosion it was a long time before the actual cause of the explosion could be ascertained. It was thought at first that everyone within a radius of fifty feet was loaded, but it been cleared later it was found. Goodwin, the foreman of the men who were loading the powder on the wagons, had survived together with one of his assistants, Amadee Boulet, who was the foreman the latter was seen in the hospital. He said that the men went down to the magazine nearest the street to fix the floor and after the wagons had been loaded with the powder which was in the magazine, it was discoverer, which was stored in the magazine, which was stored in the magazine, was plunging. Mr. Goodwin picked up what he thought was a jug of water and began pouring it on to the nitrogycerine with the idea of diluting it and washing it up. As soon as the fluid from the jug struck the floor, he found that the water was so thick that he began to smoke and when the men saw it they rushed from the building, but had not gone ten feet when the explosion occurred. This magazine was the first to go up, followed immediately by the gun powder in the three wagons, and seven seconds later by the second magazine. The entire catastrophe, however, occurred in the space of scarcely five seconds, but in that time the surroundings, in small volcano had broken forth in that small Every house within two hundred yards collapsed. Trees were blown down, the grass within a hundred yards was torn away by a lawn mower, while bricks from the house were hurried far across the river and all over the neighborhood: Lowell, Mass. July 31.—A long line of hearses, moving slowly through the pathetic reminder of Wednesday's tectonic atrophe at Wiggsville, when an explosion of tons of nitro-glycerine, dynamite and gun powder snuffed out nearly a score of lives, painfully inundated the streets of persons, and scattered half a hundred buildings over a space of several acres. The number of dead stands at 19, but it may be increased to 21 at ten victims now at St. John's hospital. INDEPENDENCE OF HAWAII Honolulu, July 29—At yesterday's session of the rule home rule convention, ex-Delegate Wilcox urged that congress be memorialized to grant Hawai independence. He also strongly favored the ability to mobilize the islands similar to that of Cuba. His remarks were received with much 'applause. It is probable that a petition embodying the views expressed by Wilcox will be prepared by the governor and by Delegate Kalanianole. Such an appeal would doubtless receive the signatures of many natives. The platform adopted by the party denounces the administration of Gov. Kamehameha and charges being made that the governor and selected clique control the affairs of the territory in a selfish and wasteful manner; the administration is charged with being corrupt, and that the governor is such a degree as to be intolerable to the people of the island. It has been decided that the time is now ripe for the presentation to the national congress of a memorial praying for an independent form of government, similar to that enjoyed by Cuba. M. M. JOHNSON CONVICTS KILL PRISON GUARD KNIVES AND RAZORS ARE USED Warden's Clothing is Slashed Into Shreds, but Official Is Not Injured—Prisoners Take Hostages to Prevent Volley From Gatling Guns. Folsom, Cal., July 25—Thirteen convicts from the penitentiary here fought a desperate battle with the prison officials, and after killing one man and wounding two others escaped. They started away from here. Overseer McDonough and a number of others are hostages and headed toward Bald mountain. The latest reports are that a fight between the convicts and a posse has taken place near Pilot Hill in which Fred Howard was killed and A. Scabio wounded. Both are convicts. The convicts are said to have scattered and are making a number of murders in the company of militias from Piscellville is en route to Pilot Hill and should now be on the immediate scene of the fight. San Francisco, July 29.—At latest accounts the troops and posses organized by the sheriffs of the different counties are keeping in close touch with the convicts who broke out of the state prison at Folsom and their prisoners, the guards and jail officials, whom they have taken with them in self protection. 10 o'clock last night the convicts in Benward Board Schottman, Joe Foster and the following prison officials looze; J. C. McDonough, G. Geitel, J. W. Dolan, J. W. Hopton and Thomas J. Seavey. They were released in the brush about four miles south of Diehl's place and came into Diehl's about 6 o'clock time. John Klendorf, one of the guards, tumed over the wagon during the firing at Pilot Hill and escaped unhurt. This makes all the free men accounted for and safe. Last night Convicts Woods. Thereon and Eldridge left the others. Woods is said to be the coolest and most intelligent among the fugitives. During the firing he gave directions to the convicts, and the claims he planned the escape. Convict Gordon left the gang at Mormon Island. He is well armed. The convicts are somewhat short of ammunition and are without supplies, having lost them in the fight at Pilot Hill. All of them had small lunches in their pockets, but when the shooter came to the box in the wagon and a few minutes later fed. Nearly all of them have a little money. The free men had a most remarkable escape. Three of them have bullet latters and abrasions. Scavy was burned on the cheek by a bullet; Schlotmann was grazed under the chin, the mark showing plainly, and the wound on the back of the neck. The convicts debated whether to kill their hostages or turn them loose. There was a difference of opinion among them as to what was best to do, but they finally decided to let their captives go unharmed. About 100 shots were exchanged in the battalion. The captives go unharmed. Company H. of Placeville, under command of Captain C. A. Swisler, is in pursuit of them. It is believed the escaped convicts are in the vicinity of Lotus, seven or eight miles from Pilot Hill. Accompanying the militia are fifty civilians, all heavily armed. The country in which the escaped prisoners are held is very rough, with a heavy growth of skin and under brush. Farmers in all parts of the invaded district have joined in the hunt for the escapes. Announced That Russian Action Will Avoid Hostilities London, July 29.—The Dally Chronicle this morning, on the authority of 'a, usually well informed hears that peace will certainly be present throughout the coming winter. The correspondent says that Russia has made important concessions to the United States and Japan, while Great Britain has conducted her negotiations on more lines, also has obtained her desires. The Chronicle adds that an important Russian declaration will be issued shortly. Meanwhile, the paper says, it is sensible that two Russian warships have given Wiel-Hal-Wel. "It is understood," says the Chronicle, "that the situation in the far east was disbanded at a cabel council in London last week, and that the present happy issue of the negotiations was announced at yesterday's council." Enormous Loss of Life in China. Shanghai, July 28.—An extraordinary rainfall has inundated the Qoo resulting in enormous loss of life and property in the native city and heavy damage to the foreign settlement. Rome, July 26.—Sealed in its triple coffin, at the conclusion of the funeral services of grandeur, dignity and solemnity, the body of Leo XIII, vicar of Christ, and sovereign pontiff of the church of Rome, lies tonight entombed. Over the majestic bronze doors of the left wing of the greatest cathedral in the world is the niche which holds Leo's body in its eternal rest. Two hundred thousand and more men, women and children, passed in sorrow through the high wall caves through the great columns swathed in artistic, rich draperies of purple and black and gold, to the glistening grating where Leo lay on his bier of state, his small body clad in all the august white and gold robes of his great station. On the strike of mid day, when the great cannon of the castle of St. Angelo sent out a loud report, Cardinal Gorgella, acting chiefly of the church of Rome, made a sign and the Italian soldiery and the papal guards proceeded to clear the chapel of all but the cardinals, then, a few minutes afterwards took their leaves. The great doors of the chapel were swung closed, meeting in a solemn, sounding clang and the end of Leo in the eyes of all men, save those who were near to him. The clerk, who was the knell was the melodious singing of the basilica bells as they told the hour of midday. REVOLUTION IN CUBA. Sixty Armed Men Appear in the Cauto River District. Havana, July 31—in spite of the assertion made by Senor Yero, secretary of the interior, that the killing of three men and the capture of a fourth man, who had attempted to cause an uprising in the city, was the result of a assault of Santiago, effectually ended the only semblance of an uprising in Cuba, the rumors of uprisings in eastern Cuba were fully confirmed yesterday in the government reports receiving statements of the militias of Santiago province. These are to the effect that since the night of Sunday last, sixty armed and mounted men have appeared outside villages in the Cauco river district proclaiming a rebellion against the government of the former members of the revolutionary army. No acts of violence have been reported, but the inhabitants of the Cauco region are excited. The leader of the revolutionaries, the brother of one of the bandits killed by the rural guard on Tuesday. Gen. Rodriguez, commander in chief of the rural guard, has ordered the mobilization of all the rural guards in eastern Cuba, and the governor of Santiago de la Cruz has as many volunteers as may be deemed necessary to co-operate with the mounted troops. Late last night, Colonel Reyes, a revolutionary veteran in whom the government has great confidence, has ordered that the region was completely tranquilized, that the people are satisfied and that there was no reason for alarm. General Lora telegraphed at 10:30 o'clock last night from Bayano that it had been definitely determined that the band numbered 70. The band with the bandits who were shot on Monday, and who had circulated stories before that date that their band numbered 70. The government is satisfied the incident is closed. LAST RUBTURE TO POPE LEO. Third Great Requiem Mass is Celebrated. Rome, July 31. —The last tribute was paid to the late Pope Leo yesterday with the third great requiem mass celebrated in the Sistine chapel of the Vatican and the function was no longer the other two. While there was perhaps few persons present there was a greater display of gorgeous uniforms. Of the sixty-two cardinals now in Rome, all attended the mass, the animal Cretelon, project of the Congregation of Sacred Rolls, who was ill. The picture presented by the procession o. cardinals, in violet robes and red capes bordered with ermine, escorted by noble guards in scarlet uniform and with drawn swords, the scene being softened by the cloudiness and the chapel presupposed the comparative Sistine church singing "Libera Me Dolo Mine," made those present feel as though lifted into another world. In the churches of Rome yesterday began the offering of prayers to the Holy Ghost to assist and enlighten the cardinals to choose the right man sit in the chair of St. Peter. Dung in the cloak conceived the blessing of the moment will be performed in special churches for the special prayers of the faithful, with the same object in view.

Mr. Ben Hall, a valued employee of the Chicago and Northwestern between Chicago and Clinton, spent Sunday in He was accompanied by his wife. The Algona Brownies have come and gone, and left a record long to be remembered. It had been arranged for two games to be played here, but on account of their exhibition of ability in defense and their exhibition of diced, they were induced to play on the off day. On Wednesday after a hard fought battle the Brownies went down in defeat to the tune of 2 to 0. On the following day they returned the compliment by defeating Clinton by a score of 1 to 0. Honors now for the team were given to bird look forward to with great anxiety. This game from start to finish was a pitcher's battle. Holland was put in the box for the Brownies. He proved himself a wonder, thoroughly mystifying the local team, the not being able to hit his balls. At the close of the game he had made a record of 100 points. Before the previous day, Clinton was again shut out by a score of 2 to 0. Thus ended a series of games the like of which was never seen in Clinton before, three games played and a total of five scores the result. Baseball fans say they were the greatest games ever seen in this part of the country, the most successful league. If it had not been for errors neither side would have scored up to the ninth innning. Master Carl Culberson is doing duty at Wm. Allen's Panoramium. The Chicago Giants are billed for a return game of ball Wednesday of this week. An interesting game is anti-clipped, as they were victorious when the Clintons in both games played here recently, shutting them out in the first game and Clinton is a great deal stronger than at that time.

Sheriff Whitlock, of Danville, Ill., has become an American hero. Read below what a few of the great daily papers say: A MOB AND A MAN. Through the darkness of the crime that spread over Daville last Saturday night there came one ray of saving light. It came from H. R. Whitlock, the man who did his duty and for an hour Daville had been given over to brutal cruelty. A recessant mayor had permitted the mob to tear a prisoner from the city jail and torture him to death. Having tasted blood, the mob demanded more. There was a rush for the county jail and there were no answers. There the mob met a man, and went down before him. Sheriff Whitlock warned and argued. He was answered with hows and an attempt to break down the jail door. He fired upon the mob. The mob fell back howling. It met the master. It stood off and threw stones for a white, but it dared not come again to close quarters with the one resolute man who paced up and down the jail veranda, his weapons ready. Finally the resolute man leaving the man alone, vigilant and triumphant. That picture of Sheriff Whitlock pacing up and down, guarding the charge intrusted to him by the people and the laws of Illinois, is one that will not fade from the memory. It tells what is the kind of man who assisted in freezing a tree. As long as civilization can muster enough of that kind it will endure. The man who knows his duty and does it, fearlessly, completely, to the end, at no matter what cost, is the real Pillar of Society which cannot be removed. Chicago Inter-Ocean Sheriff Whitlock of Danville, Ill., is a sure enough sheriff. Mobs would soon become much less frequent if there were officers like him to deal with them. Philadelphia Inquirer: In his dealing with that Danville mob Sheriff Whitlock made Vermillion county, Ill., as Chicago News: There will be more respect for law when we have a greater corps of sheriffs of the Whitlock variety. Springfield (II.) News: Danville is unfortunate in having to suffer the disgrace of such lawlessness, but it is truly fortunate in having such a sheriff.
