FOLK PROPOSES
TO PUNISH LYNCHERS.
The Governor of Missouri Takes
Stand Against Mob Law.
i
Jefferson City, May 14.—Gov.
Folk has made the following
statement concerning the negro
lynching in southeast Missouri:
“No matter how deserving of
death the negro may have been
or how dastardly his crime, it
was murder for the mob to hang
him. Kidnaping is a capital
offense in Missouri, but the exe
cution should be by law and not
i by a mob.
i It is just as much an offense in
the eyes of the law for a mob to
kill a guilty person as it would
be to lynch an innocent one. We
must have government by law
and not by mobs, and they who
take part in such lawlessness do
so at their peril.
“The attorney general has been
directed to investigate the mat
ter and to assist the prosecuting
I attorney of the county in bring
! ing to justice those participating
i in this crime. Lynching cannot
' and will not be tolerated in Mis
1 souri.
, Kidnaping has been a capital
| offense in Missouri since 1901,
the time of the kidnaping of Cu
! dahy’s child by Pat Crowe at
: Omaha.

QUEER ACCIDENTS TO GUNS.
Mlfthitpi «D a British BaUlf'«h(p> T!«l
Canied l>«r Aiuung
♦ he tree.
While the British battleship Thun
derer was off Milford Haven, Wales,
not long ago a curious accident to
one of her guns caused much alarm
among her crew, A target had been
put out for practice with the ten-inch
breechlnnding guns. When one was
fired by electricity only a portion of
the projectile was discharged, the
base plate of the shot .and a portion
of the frame being left in the gun.
When the plate was icmoved the pre*
sure of gas forced a portion of the
projectile from th» breech of the gun.
On the second gun being fired a hole
about three inches in diameter was
blown through the projectile, the
other part of the base plate being left
behind. Th« ba.«< plate waa in this
. _ » a . J £ f To 40
projectile.
Such accidents are believed m-ver
previously to have occurred on board
any ship. There was much alarm
among those in the turret, as the
bursting of the guns was for a time
feared. It is suggested that either
the powder in the projectiles was
damj) or there was water in the guns.
So far as can be seen both guns are
sound.
FINDS BOOK OF MORMON.
Illinois Farmer Makes the Ciaim Tho
lie Di'tt' 1 3> 13) e Original
Manuscript.
Interest has been created at Carbon
dale, 111-- over a discovery made by
Marshal Penrod, who lives on a farm,
near Dongola. Recently Penrod
grubbed a black oak stamp out of a po
tato field close to his residence and
found a stone about a foot long and
eight inches in diameter. The peculiar
shape of the stone, which resembled a
poeketbook, attracted his attention,
and, upon close exam.nation, he found
carved on its face in the English lan
guage the following words i4Thi«
atone contains the original manuscript
of Moroni (Mormon).—Joseph Smith "
The ravages of time had apparently
made but little headway on the stone
and upon closer examination he found
the stone was hollow and a hole drilled
entirely through it and at both sndt
red cedar plugs had been driven In.
Upon removing one of thg plugs ae.verai
sheets of parchment were found con
taining writing in hieroglyphic* th*t
aould not be deciphered.
Tempting Sandwiches.
At an afternoon tea some particular
ly attractive open sandwiches wen
served. Rounds of bread were spread
witn a mixture of cream cheese and
Inely chopped olives. Around the
•dge of each larger pieces of olives
formed a sort of wreath and directly in
the center was a piece of olive. Brows
bread sandwiches made of cream
cheese and chopped olives are partlcu*
larly delicious. Chopped green peppers
may also be mixed with them.—dDsIroil

Pasted Stone and Gravel With Excruciating Paine
A. H. Thurnes, Mgr. Wills Creek Coal Co., Buffalo, O., writes:
“1 have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, pass
ine eravel or stones with excruciating pains. Other medicines only
cave relief. After taking FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE the result was
surprising. A few doses started the brick dust, like fine stones, etc.,
and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man,
FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE has done me $ 1,000 worth of good.”
No Other Remedy Can Compare With It
Thos. W. Carter, of Ashboro, N. C., had Kidney Trouble and
one bottle of FOLEY’S KIDNEY CURE effected a perfect cure, and
he says there is no remedy that will compare with it.
