and it was hard work to keep them)
off Salzner lout; enough to give him
a chut.ce to pray. The mob finally
subsided and a short religious Service;
was held, after which he was strung
up,the rope being placed over a telegraph
pole at 21st and Washington
streets.
The mob found some difficulty in
breaking the cage, as it was an entirely
steel structure.but after a half
hour of telling blows upon the door
it gave way and Salzner was secured.
The mob rushed him out of the back
doer of the jail, which is in the basement
of the court house, around the
bu lling, through the yard and out
intc Washington avenue aud up to
21it street, which is a prominent
corner and has a public square.
He cried and begged piteously for
his life and was met by cries and I
blows from the mob.
W'r.eti Salzner was asked tor his
last statement a man, a stranger in
? the crowd, stepped forward and said
he believed Salzner was innocent,
whereupon the mob fell upon him,
kicked him and finally kuocked him
down, and it was only the pleas of
coder persons that saved his life. He
was compelled to beg for mercy from
t he mob. and announced iu a loud
voice that Salzner should be lynched,
after which lie was driven from the
mob and ail attention given to Salzner.
After Salzner was hanged, and
while tne body was being riddled
with bullets, the rope bfoke and the
body fell to the ground,where it now
lies, the mob going away and leaviug
it.
^ Salzner was born and reared here.
H? had becu married about two years
last July, when his wife was found
at her home with her skull fractured.
A bloody axe was found under the
bed. Two babies were playing in the
mother's blood. Salzner was found at
the home of his mother, where he
often slept at night. Before Mrs Salzner
died she recovered enough to accuse
her husband of attacking her.

and to night, after the lynching
of James, w hen some one suggested
Salaaer, the mob rushed for the
county jail, got Salzner and lynched
him.
Cairo. Ill, November 11:?Will
James, the negro suspected of being
the murderer of Miss Annie Pulley,
was killed here to night by a mob.
James was strung up to the public
arch, the roj* broke and at least 500
shots were poured inso his body. He
made a partial confession and implicated
another negro, Arthur Alexander,
for whom the mob is now searching.
James wua lynched in the most
nronunent souare of the citv and
hanged to the arch at Eighth and
Commercial streets.
Women present were the first to
pull the rope. When it broke, the
frenzy of the mob was uncontrollable,
and they fired volley after volley into
James's body,shooting him to pieces.
The mob then dragged the body over
the streets for over a mile to Twenty-sixth
and Elm streets, in an alley,
and burned it where the murder
was committed.
At least 10,000 people witnessed
the lynching.
James wa3 found with Sheriff Davis
between Kamak, 111, and Belknap,
by the Cairo crowd, who went
up this afternoon. The crowd overpowered

Lending To The Lord
"My son, ' said a banker to
his boy, I want to give you a
! lesson in business. Here is a
half dollar. Now, if you can
1 find anybody whom you can
j trust, who will take this money,
and pay interest tor it. you
may lend it to him: and if you
invest this wisely, I'l increase
your capital." When night came
the banker said: "Son, how did
you invest your money to-day?"
"Well, father." replied the little
fellow, "1 saw a boy on the
street without any shoes, and
he had no dinner, so I gave him
my tifty cents to buy something*
to eat with." "You'll
never make a business man in
the word,'" said the banker:
"business is business^ Now,
here is a dollar to < .'7i: see
how well you can do it.'"' A
loud peal of laughter from the
boy followed this speech, which
was thus explained: "My
Suhday-school teacher said giving
to the poor was lending to
the Lord; and she said He would
return to us double, but I did
not think lie would do it so
quickly."
\o Case on Record.
There is no case on record of a
cough or cold resulting in pneumonia
or consumption after Foley's
Honey and Tar has been taken, as
it will stop your cough and break up
your cold quickly, llefuse any but

in* a yellow package. Contains no
opiates and is safe and sure.

as to avoid sending the wrong amount,
also stating the township or townships,
(if property is owned in more than one)
antf if possible give school district wh^re
property is located, also state whether
poll or road tax, or both, are wanted.
Alter paying taxes examine your receipts
and see if all of your property is
covered. If nor, see about it atonce.
By following the above suggestions
c< triplications and additional cost may
be avoided.
