Fifty deputy marihals surrounded him and Deputy Shorifli Stance Miers, and Thomas Brown sat in tho hack on oither hidj of him. Fifty bug gi -a and wagons followed tho hack.

Tho orowd first attemptod to gain admission by poaocful moans, but Sheriff Everhardy rofusod to dolivor the nogro. Thon tho crowd pushod its way to the sido door, and usiog ono man as a battering ram, tho door was foiood from its hingos. Thon tho orowd Burgod into tho oorridor by tho narrow door way. A hugo iron bar fastonod tho iron door of ttio ooll room Too door was finally boot sufficient for tho men to olimb ovor it. Several gained an entranoo in this mannor. Moantimo the orowd had pushoa down tho sido gato of tho stockade, and a yelling paok appeared in tho j til yard.

A shapcloss man was orouohod down in ono corner of tho dark ooll Five minutes' work and tho hoavy look on the ooll had beon brokon off A yoll of terror issuod from tho ooll. Strong men filled tho oorridors with hysterioal laughter. Uuisido the orowd was yell ing itself hoarse. Then into the ooll rushed those who wero nearest tho door. Tho mob issued forth in a moment dragging tho negro by tho Jcoat collar. Ho had been struok over the bead with a hammer, but was still oocBoious. Men fought to get at him, and, infuriated, etrnok savagely at him. Up tho hill into tho oourt house yard thoy dragged him. 4 Confess beforo we harm you," said they. "i am innooint." "I aui innocent. I am d} ing for what another man did. I boo lots of my friends here; they know I did not do it.

He spoko with the resignation of a man who soos before him only oertain death. A movo was made for a large cotton wood tree in a corner of tho oourt huuie yard. My God, men," oriod the negro in 1 his agony, "I havo told you thai I am innooent. I oan't tell you any more. 1 did not do it." "Ho lies; burn him," oried the mob. "Tako him whoro he committed the murder," suggestod one. Immediately the orowd, carrying tho negro, who was thrown into a wagon, puatied on towards Fourth street. At 5 o'olook Alexander was brought to tho exaot spot whore Pearl Forbes, tho murdered girl, was found, and a semioirole was formed. Alexander was brought up in a wagon with a dosen men. The leader called for silenoe. The roar oeased and Alexander was shoved forward into full view of tho orowd. A howl went up whioh was * t i a t ? .? * a quickly nusnca as mo prisoner raised \ his shackled heads end began to speak.

I did not do that H And some d?y you men hero will run H mp against the man who did. I know H it *int any use to say so, for you are ?1 going to kill me, but I didn't do it." H The men standing behind Alexander m then shoved him from the wagon and |s| the roar from the erowd drowned every SI other sound. The negro was quickly ?& driven down the embankment to the W pile of wood, with his hands still Wk shaoklcd, and there bound to the stake. EM Many of the orowd oirried rails and ? boards.

A sovr n months-old child was so desperately ill of a fever that tho family physioian save the oate up, sayiog the ohi.d had only a few hoars to live. Another physioian wan oaUed and as a desperate resort it was agreed to u-e salt. A Bola ion of common table salt and wator was injoo ei into *the stomaoh and a smaller quantity into the region of the heart. Twelve hou'S la'er the injeotions were repeated, and almost at onoe a ohange for the hotter was noted. Within twenty-four hours the fever had gone down, eonsoionsoess had returned and the pulse was normal. After the lapse of about three days the child was pronounocd well on the road to oomplete reoovory. Quality and not quantity makes DeWut's Little Early ftirers suoh valuable little liver pills.
