Chicago, Feb.:. A dispatch to the
, Tribune from Jackson, Miss., says:
While hundreds of white men are
systematically searching the homes of
every negro In the city, hunting for
a colored man who assaulted a young
white woman, with the avowed inten
tion of putting him to death, Governor
Vardamanh is working hard to pre
vent a lynching in the capital city of
the sate. . .
.When he news of the crime reached"
him the governor sent his friends all
over the town as emissaries of law
and order, telling them to plead with
N every man they met to allow the law
to take Its course.
Then he started on a personal cam
paign. Charging up and down the
s main street, he expostuated with every
group of men on the corners and urged
every argument at his command to
Induce them to disperse.
The governor soon saw his efforts
were likely to prove unavailing anc"
finally went with the rapidly increas
ing mob to the court house, where, ac
cording to rumors, the young woman's
assailant was under guard. "
The reports were unfounded but the
mob refused to believe the sheriff and
began making threatening demonstra
tlons. ' ' .
Governor Vardamann, after Instruct
lng the sheriff and his deputies to de
fend the prisoner to the last if he
should be brought to them, mounted
the steps knd began ah impassioned
address. He declared the law pro
vided good and proper punishment for
the crime in question, assured the cltl
sens of Jackson that there would be
no delay in carrying it into effect, and
pleaded with them to "allow the law
to take its course."
The governor offered to pay $500 for
the arrest of the negro providing be
was delivered alive to the authorities.
His appeal was listened to in silence.
The local military company has been
ordered out and under the governor's
personal direction will be used tc
protect the prisoner if he is captured

Olser.
Chicago, Feb. 24. President James
B. Angell of the University of Michi
gan does not subscribe to the state
ment that men lose their usefulness

be chloroformed.
Dr. Angell in an address at the an
nual banquet of the Chicago Alumni
Association of the University of Mich
igan, said:
"I would like to extend the time of
a man's life instead of shortening It.
The experiment of killing off old men
has been tried in Africa for centuries,
and I would suggest to the distinguish
ed physician that civilization has not
advanced very rapidly there."
San FrancfBco, Feb. 24. The , Call
says today that the Western Pacific
railway project is backed up by the
Huntington millions and not by the

definite shape. From the coffers of
Mrs. Collls P. Huntington, widow of
the late westedn railroad magnate. Is
coming the bulk of the money used to
carry out the plans of the new over
land road between San Francisco and
Salt Lake. To the contributions she
Is making there is being added funds
mainly from the nephew, H. E. Hunt
ington, and his asociates in several
gigantic schemes, Millionaires B. F
Yoakum, president of the 'Frisco sys
tem, and E. W Hawley, who is prom
inently identified with a number of
railroad enterprises.
Huntington, Hawley and Toakum
are not only planning a road to Salt
Lake City, but propose acquiring a
complete system fron San Francisco
to the Mexican gulf by way of the
Denver gateway and making traffic
arrangements with other roads with a
view to getting connections at Denver
or Salt Lake for through passenger
and freight business to the Missouri
river and Chicago.
