A dispatch from Lawrence,

Joe Martin, colored, was
lynched by a mob of 300 men in
front of Judge Carpenter's
house at 8 o'clock tonight, Mar-
tin was a trusty in the county
jail. He attacked a white girl,
Delia Krauze in the jail kitchen
and slashed her face and arms
with a knife. One man was in-
jured by Martin when entering
the jail to drag out the prisoner.

A dispatch from St, L'etersberg,
(tilted Aug. 30 says:
Even late tonight the greatest un-
certainly prevails regarding the ac-
tual situation at Lin Van;. There
is intense anxiety for definite news
from the front, but even the authori-
ties are frankly ignorant al io whet-
her or not the long expected decisive
action will be fought at Klao Vang
or further north.
( Tt is possible that even now a great
battle is proceeding and there are
many indications that fills in the ease
If this is so the fate of this year's
campaign may be set t led within forty-
efght hours.
At t>' "'vine time opinion is almost,
equally divided, many believing that
General Kuropaiv^ln will not make a
determined stand and that the Japa-
nese will crack the shell to iind the
bird has flown.
One of the Russians correspondents
:Ol the Associated Press says that the
tijfliting so far has !>een confined whol-
ly to rear guard actions. The Rus-
sian force is now concentracted in a
series of exceedingly strong positions
around Liao Yang, but the whole
withdrawal was in accordance with a
pre-arranged plan. It Is certain that
the armies are now inclose touch.

and then the three started for
the negro's cell.
On the way they met Dr. Mil-
lar, who had been summoned to
dress the wounds on Martin,
self inflicted with the same
razor he had assaulted the girl
Jones. They were both com-
pelled to stand against the cage
of the cells with their faces
turned away from the mob.
The negro was then taken from
his cell and hurriedly marched
through the court house into
the street. Arriving- at the
lamp post, a short distance from
the jail, the negro was quickly
strung up to the post. During
the entire proceedings he did
not speak nor attempt to resist
the mob. The lynching occurr-
ed at about 8 o'clock and within
an hour the streets were de-
serted.

^ The Council Convention at
Guthrie Saturday resulted in a
bolt. The regular convention,
composed of white delegates
and presided over by Harper S.
Cunningham, nominated S. E.
Seelev, of Guthrie. The rump
convention presided over by
Frank Greer and composed
mainly ot negro delegations,
herded in with a consideration,1,.
nominated D. F. Smith of Guth-i„'is' C Krl,se' ('' r'M- C'lw

the regular convention will be
placed on the ticket and he
should be, for one reason if no
more. Eyerybody knows D. F.
Smith, or -'Fatty " Smith, as he
is called. We all know his re-
cord. He has a public record
as lobbiest and shady character
which should preclude him from
any consideration whatever in
Republican councils, Smith is
the man who engineered the
Blaxer deal last legislature. We
are acquainted with one act of
Smith's last legislature which
should damn hini for all time, so
far as a public career is con-
cerned. And it is just his kind
of cattle who take advantage of
negro ignorance and hold rump
conventions and endeavor to dis-
organize and disharmonize thi
Republican party. The nomi-
nation of Smith, with his known
record, is an affront and dis
grace to any party and the Re-
publicans of Logan count\
should sit down upon Smith and
the rumpers so hard that they
will never attempt to defeat or
corrupt a partv again.

Colonel Perry Hodgden and Major
George Misner left Monday for the
coast, where they will visit San
Franolseo, swing upon the golden
gate, climb the frosty mountains, sit
beneath the master trees, tell Kan-
sas stories and bring up reminiscvnsl
of the jack rabbit post and the
grass hopper periods. They will also
go to Puget Sound and the Columbia,
river, where they will eat their till1
of fresh caught salmon and as tliey
go to the salmon cannery and see the
dirty Chinese till and label the boxes
amid great ITIth they will mutually
resolve to cut salmon out of their
bill of fare in the future.

youngsters doubted fite wisdom of
allowing them to take tlie rrlp un-

to suffer from the snares and pitfalls

ever they went witliout guardian and
