Dockery’s pri- Vate secretary, is spending Monday in St. ‘Louts. He arrived Sunday night and regts- tered at the Laclede. He told the Post- 5 amg Monday morning that he would ret to Jefferson City probably Monday Mr. Crenshaw says he is here on private business. The fact that this is the day on which the Democratic primaries are be- the impression in cer- that Mr. Crenshaw’s private , rs has something to do with these aut some length. He declared that he was an. “unjust judge and a fomenter of lawless- | ness, Mr. Peck ridiculed the justice as) “an uninformed peirtictan who had ‘rushed | in where angels feared to tread,’ "’ and who | had set himelf inst the opinions and! belief of some of the greatest of scientists, | statesmen and theologians. “At one fell swoop,” Rey. Peck asserted, he had wiped out the Bible, all ancient his- tory and the resulta of the most careful scientific investigations and profound rea- soning. t is possible, however, that. Jus- tice Zimmerman is more to be pitied than blamed and that if he learned better and repented he would still be cordially wel- comed by the people whom he has wronged.” MRS. MAYBRICK 1S IN PRISON. LONDON, Feb. 11.—The officials of the home office say there. is no foundation whatever for the report that Mre. Florence Maybrick had been pardon Mra. Maybrick is an American. She was convicted of poisoning her husband, and for some time there have been strong in- fluences exerted to set her free.

Scarcely anyone in the town, outside the immediate participants, knew that. the lynching was to occur. The electric lights had previously been extinguished and the town was in total darkness. Before the men dispersed they pinned a card on the body of thesnegro, bearing this inscriptoin: ? eseeeeeveereere eeeeeevreep eee ee eee eeeeeeeeetete eave ee ee “This will be the fate of all ne- groes who assault white women.” The crime of which Carter was charged was a most atrocious one. Mra. Beard, who is the wife of W. E. Beard, bookkeeper at the Deposit Bank in this city, was on her way home about 6 o'clock in the evenin with her little son, when she was assaulte: by a negro. Her cries and those of her son attracted the attention of some men, but the assailant escaped. Constant efforts were made by the police to detect the negro, but without avail until last week, when Hessie Smoot of Rucker- ville caused a warrant to be tssued for George Carter, her brother-in-law, on a charge of assault. 7 A photograph was secured of him, which, it ia said, Mrs. Beard identi as being that of her assailant, and at the county jail her little son also identified him, ram>ages have cost me close on to I think that .{ she keeps herself confined to Kanea@s she will drive out every saloon. as there is no way to stop her.” Last night, before leaving Des Moines, a tel in which Mrs. Nation was stopping. It seems that a hypnotist by the name of Mrs. Jessie Donahoe, had persuaded Mrs, Na- tion to take her on as her itnanager and discard the services of A. C. Rankin. Mra. Nation consented, and got in a hack after her lecture to go to the rooms of ‘he wom- an. Just at this time Rankin rushed out from the hotel and began ‘ees that Mrs. Nation was being kidnapped. A_larze crowd was attracted to the scene, and after a hort debate in which the hypnotist siapved Mr. Rankin tn the face, the former was dis- missed. MRS. NATION VS. CARDINAL.
