ZANZIBAR, Jan. 11.-Advices have been
received from the interior that in October
last Mwanga, King of Uganda, plotted to
destroy his entire body guard, his inten-
tion being to abandon them on an island IN
Lake Nyanza, where they would starve to
death. The guards, who had been fore
warned of the Kings intentions, refused to
enter the canoes which were to convey
them to the island, but returned to the
capital and made an attack on
Mwanga's palace. The King fled to
escape the fury of the guards, and
his brother, Kiwewa, was enthrOned
in his stead. Kiwewa appointed Chris
tians to the principal offices. This
enraged the Arabs, who murdered many of
the Christian officials and replaced them
with Mohammedans. The Arabs burned
the English and French mission stations
and killed many of the converts to Christi
anity. The mission boat Eleanor, in which
some of the persons who had been convert
ed by the French missionaries were
fleeing, was struck by hippOpotamus
and sunk, five of the converts
being drowned. Many letters for Emin
Bey and Henry NJ. Stanley were destroyed
by the burning of the missionary stations.
The missionaries have reached UsambviO
in safety. The Mssalala depot is safe.
Mwanga is prisoner at Magu. He has ap-
pealed to the English missionaries for as
sistancc. The Arabs have written to Mis-
sionary Mckay exulting in their triumph,
and DrODheSylnQ the extinction of all the
mission stations in Central Africa in re-
venge for England's anti-slavery policy.
They have proclaimed Uganda Moham-

The Cause of the Troubles.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The English-African
missionary societies are unanimous IN laying
the blame of the troubles in East Africa
upon the invasion of that territory by the
Germans. The Rev. Mr.. Ashe, who has re-
Gently come from Uganda, says that he dis
covered no trouble whatsoever among the
natives until, upon his return, he reached a
point within 200 miles of the coast, where
the influence of Germany was felt. From
the opinion which prevailed there, Mr.. Ashe
is inclined to believe that the trouble will
spread inland and require stronger force
than has hitherto been brought to bear to
suppress it. The whole course of the Ger
mans, NJ. Ashe asserts, has been aggressive,
if not brutally oppressive, and he is unable
to see anything to avert danger to all of the
foreign missions laboring in the interior.

his almost unanimous election to the Office
proved the Senate's desire to maintain lib

The Marble Creek Road.

| Ed. RegiSter-i see an article i'll your able
paper concerning the horrible horrible con-
dition of the Marble Greek road. "The writ.
er has Travelled the road for eighteen year
and never saw the road in so rough a condl-
ton and sadly i'll need of repair as at present.
| Miller Hill, especially, the whole road from:
Austin's down is bad, and very bad. Clear
| ~ some one is to blame" Now the question
is who is to blame. The road overseer has,
to my personal knowledge, worked out all
the money aud Poll-TaX belonging to the
Marble Creek road, so we can't blame him
and we can't blame the tax payers, for they
have worked out their taxes, and the over
seer called the attention of the county court
to the condition the Miller Hill and Austin
Hill were in, and the court claimed that
there was no money in the treasury to spend
on the road, and we cannot blame the court.
If they have not got the money they cannot
pay it out, the road is rough from Austins
down, but we have had three saw mills ship
ping lumber over the Marble Creek road
for two years and when mill teams travel
a road they make it rough. Especially Jim
Lovelaces for his teams go from Monday
morning till Saturday night, rain or shine.
Now the county court made an appropria-
ton last spring of $500 to go on the roads in
the county, and the Marble Greek road from
AustInes south, where the road is rough,
got S4o of the appropriation, and had road
to build while the road district from Aus
tues north got $40, and had road all ready
built. Now if our excuses are not good
enough we have plenty more of them, but
If the man that has travelled the Marble
Creek road for eighteen years can build
q road with the means we have we re-
spectfully invite him to announce himself a
candidate for road boss and I'll bet he will
get there Ely. Hoping to live in peace with
all men, l remain,

as Buddle Chappell son of America Scott
and step-son of Joel Scott. Budde's suffer.
lngs were more than human tongue could

| til the end came, saying ali the time, "thy
will be done" Yes, brother, 'thy will be
done," not ours; but it is so hard for us to
submit to His will. Buddie was not pro-
fessor of religion. During his Affections !
was standing by his bed and he turned his
eyes toward me and said: "sister, have
been trying to pray, but my breath is too
short" But his last moments were spent
saying the Lords prayer:
sour Father who art in heaven, hallowed
be thy name thy kingdom come, thy will be
done"-then closed his eyes in death. Fare
well brother; farewell; if you were prepar-
ed we will meet on that celestial shore where
all is joy, peace and love; although you have
left us all behind, we, too, must follow you.
1t is appointed unto US all once to die, and
the good Lord who doeth all things we'll
saw proper to take from us dear brother;
one that was so full of life. When the ago
nlzing thought is forced ul on our minds,
that we must see him no more on earth, but
we must bear this, one of earth's greatest
friends. Goodbye, Buddie. Your sister
will never cease to miss you at home. Bud
die has left us one bright evidence, and that
he had faith 10 pray. Let US all live as we
would wish to die, and hope to meet dear
brother in heaven. CORA B. CHAPPELL.

on last Saturday night, Sunday morning and
night. The subject of her lecture on Satur-

| Union the World Over" The tiny white
ribbon bow, the badge of this, the grandest
| organization the world has ever known,
may be seen in every nation on the globe
and even the Isles of the sea. The narrow
white ribbon is oelting this earth, and what
will be the result? Who can say? On Sun
day morning at eleven O'Clock Mrs. Hartford
lectlired on "Heredity." The clearness and
forcibiiity Of her arguments on the laws both
| morally and physically which govern human
kind, could hardly faii to be understood and
appreciated by every thinking man and
woman.
The Loyal Temperance Legion, Company
ID, tiourishing band of earnest temperance
workers OF all ages, meets every Sunday
afternoon. The work of this society is TO
educate the children who will soon occupy
the positions the men and women of to day
are holding. To teach them the conslruc-
tion of the human body, its proper care, and
and the relation which the soul and body
sustain to one another. The good produce
tive of this education cannot be calculated.
Mrs. Hartford talked to the children about
cider, the subject of the lesson for the after
noon.
The evening address was listened to by an
appreciative audience. Her lecture was to
the young men. While her talk was entire
ly non-poitical she pointed out to them in a
clear and forcibe manner the rapid march
of events in this glorious nineteenth century
and the stern necessity of their meeting and
deciding the many great questions which
are coming up to be settled by the voters of
this country. She also set forth to the young
girls the awful responsibilities which will
rest upon them when they are the woman
hood Of this land. Who could fail to catch
an inspiration to a higher and better life as
they listened to such words of wisdom? The |
choir furnished temperance and sacred
music well rendered and highly appreciated |
