A CHINESE MOB.
Narrow Escape OF Christian Women from
the Brutality of Heathens.

NAr1OW I1sCape OF women from
the Brutality of Heathens.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June pa letter
which has been received here from the wife
of Albert Fulton, a Presby terrain missionary
sent from this city to Kwai Penk, China,
recounts narrow escape from Chinese
mob Mrs Fulton writes that their home
aud their new little hospital, where sick and
wounded soldiers were being given Christian
attention, were assaulted by mob OF
students and their servants, who were in
censed because the gambling places had
been closed by the magistrate. Wanting
something to do they came out to see what
"the foreign devils missionaries were
doing. MIR. Fulton, realizing that the mob
was bent on mischief and plumber, hurriedly
went i'll search of the magistrate and sold
ers, leaving the women locked up IN the
house. These barred the doors and pre-
pared for an assault The
mob endeavored to burst open the doors,
threats of killing and butchering were
heard, and when the mob began to pile hay
and bamboo at the front door the missiona-
ries hurriedly pinned the viceroy's procla
nation and passports to their skirts, and
taking an infant, escaped through the side
door. They were followed by wild and
hooting mob, using terribly vile language.
Il turned" says Mrs Fulton, "and said:
Here we are, now see us, but don't you
dare touch us We came here to
heal your sick and do you good, and yet
you treat us like this We have sick
soldiers IN the hospital, sent here by the
military mandarin. He is our friend and if
you in any way injure US he will give you
what you deserve" They understood what
she said and exclaimed: why, she speaks
our dialect" but did not cease their terrible
threats, and pressed closer upon the two
women, who We're finally rescued by tine

Politics are at fever heat over IN the
Second Iowa congressional district, The
delegate convention meets next Saturday
and the primaries are being held today
Hon, J II Murphy, the present repre-
sentative in congress, is opposed for re-
nomination by Judge Walter l. Hayes, of
Clinton. The Davenport Democrat heads
the opposition to Murphy. and has been
very severe in its Remuneration of him
A casual observer, however, will find 1t
difficult to discover the Dcmocrat'S true
reason for opposing Mr.. Murphy SO Wig,
orously. OF course it claims to have suf-
ficient grounds for adopting the policy ii
has. II does not approve Of his manage
meut Of the lIeunepin canal bill, and on
the whole, thinks Murphy too officious.
Several of the leading democrats Of Scott
county are also arrayed on the side Of the
Democrat, and are clamoring for Murphy's
scalp.
1t seems as though the opponents Of
MIR. Murphy are making a mistake politi
cally, as well as jeopardizins the interests
of this community rs centered in the
Hennepin canal bill Mr. Murphy has
made this great measure the one study of
his congressional career, and no one can
truthfully say he shirked his responsible,

STEAK.
a Not Unpalatable Dish Which Contaihz
All the Strength of the Beef.

A Not Unpalatable Dish Which Containz
All the Strength of the Beef.
The Salisbury steak is made by taking
the best slices of the ''round'' on ths
beef, and chopping it with dull knives.
The object is not to cut, but rather
pound the meat. BY thus treating it,
the pulp comes to the top, and tho
tough, 1ibrous portion remains below.
This pulp is scraped off and made into
cakes, like sausage cakes, or into tho
shape like u good-sized steak, and gently
broiled on a gridiron. 1t has been
found that meat gently cooked is moro
digcstible than raw. The fire must DO
good, 50 that the meat may be rapidly
broilcd, that is, be cooked on the out
side and almost raw inside.
A little salt and pepper and a small
amount of butter added make a not at
all unpalatable dish, and one which con-
tains all the strength of the beef, with
the tough, indigestible portion entirely
separated. This diet is used exclusively
in chronic cases by physicians profess
ing to treat according to the Salisbury
method. They use but few drugs, and
what they use are mainly tonics. The
diet is used not only in diseased diges-
ton, but diseases of liver, kidney,
stomach, bowels, nerves, ETC., and re-
markable results are said to have been
obtained.-N Y. Medical Times.
