ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION
A Chinese Doctor the Victim of an
Assault.

x2SSauAt
Sam Sing was arrested early this
morning by officers Bevan and Rohn for
robbery. The officers made clever
capture. About 10 O'Clock it was re-
ported that an attempt had been made
to murder Chinese doctor There was
great excitement in Chinatown. Officer
Rohn, Detective Bosqui and a HERALD
reporter made search through China
town. In deserted building back OF
Apablasa street, blood was found on
the door andson the floor. All China
men questioned pretended to know
nothing about the matter. A Chinese
cap and several trinkets lost in the en-
counter were found near the blood.
The officers found out by inuuiring
around that an attempt had been made
to kill DIR. Tong She Bin. It appears
that a highbinder called upon the
doctor and informed him that they de-
sired his services for sick man. The
doctor went with the man to a deserted
place. Upon entering he was struck
over the head with club, but he was
not injured enough for the highbinber
to rob him. Sam Sing was arrested and
has been identified as the man who came
after the doctor. 1t certainly looks as if
the whole thing was scheme to murder
the doctor to secure what money he had
on his person.
This is probably but the first OF many
crimes which will be committed in
Chinatown now, as the highbinders feel
that they have gained great victory in
securing the release of Wong Ark on
bail. This most extraordinary action
on the part OF the authorities is direct
blow at the attempts being made to
keep the Chinese orderly.

IT NOW looks as if the two new cruisers
built in France for Balmaceda will soon
reach Chilean waters. These vessels
may enable the tyrant to recover his
prestige at sea, but in the meantime the
Congressional forces are becoming for
midable by land. Arms and equipments
have reached them in quantities to ena-
BILE them to mobilize an army that will
justify an early attack on Coquimbo. A
decisive battle at that point resulting
favorably to the insurgents would change
the entire aspect OF the revolution. 1t
would make the operations by sea of
secondary Importance and would open
to the constitutional forces the
way to the Chilean capital. A
decisive victory would be fol-
lowed by a stampede of officers and men
from Balmaceda to the so-called insur-
gents, and it would enable the suppress
ed disafection in the provir ces held by
by the dictator to find vent for its full
expression. No doubt the result would
be rising in the very heart of the
northern provinces held by Balmaceda,
and place him in the position OF having
to stand fire in the rear while the revo-
lutionary army was bearing down upon
his front. 1t now looks as if Palnace-
sda's new cruisers would not figure con-
spicuously in the events near at hand.
Nevertheless it seems very hard
and unreasonable that ayTpeople
making the gallant and deadly stand
the Constitutional party are making
should be handicapped at crucial
juncture in their struggle by such enor-
nous contributions to the warlike
strength Of their enemies as two cruisers
such as the French have built for Bal
maceda will afford them. Certainly the
Constitutional government has shown
itself much more than mere faction in
revolt, and should be entitled to secure
equal belligerent rights with the dicta-
tor in any civilized part of the world.
When it comes triumphantly out of the
struggle, as we believe it will, but little
thanks will be due from it to the gov
ernments Of France or the United States.

Los Angeles to San Fernando, and the
traveller for the north was Obliged to
stage it over mountain and desert from
the latter point to Caliente, where he
again took the cars. A single stage
eighteen years ago-and it was seldom
well flled-sufficed to carry. the
passengers that piled between Los An
geles and San Bernardino. And
SO OF communication between Los
Angeles and San Diego. Santa Mon
lea had then no existence. Long
Beach and Redondo were not even
dreamed of. How bravely all this has
changed! Now our railways ramify to all
points, and nearly hundred trains enter
into and depart from this city daily,
and the end is not only not yet, but our
development is evidently only in its in
itial.
We may well round up this article by
reference to speech made by Mr.. r.
G. Kerens on his return to the east from
an extensive trip which he had recently
made to Los Angeles county and South
ern California. He said that, while it
required ten acres in the east to furnish
products sufficient to make one carload
OF freight. one acre here frequently pro-
duced high class of freight sufficient to
load three cars. That was an epigram-
matte expression of the remarkable po-
tentialities of the lands of Los Angeles
and her sister counties.

Unfit for Human CONSUMPTION.

"The Royal baking POWDER says
Frank L. Bartlett, state assayer OF
Maine, contains one ingredient that
should not enter into the composition of
any baking powder, viz, carbonate of
ammonia. This is strong alkali, unfit
for human consumption, and am sur
prised that this chemical should be
used when it is SO well known to be in
furious to health in anything used for
food"
The Royal contains ammonia, Cleve-
lands does not; great point in favor
Of Cleyeland's.

SAFE CRACKERS.
ANOTHER CASE OF CLEVER BURG
Larry REPORTED.
Boodle-Two Men Arrested by the
Police on Suspicion.

The grocery store of Ralphs Bros. was
entered by two men early yesterday
morning, and the safe was blown open.
The enterprising burglars succeeded in
getting through three walls. The safe
was drilled in a clever manner, showing
conclusively that the men are experts
at their business. Their energy was not
rewarded, however, as there was not
solitary dollar in the safe. The money
was hidden away in a soap box and was
within three feet of the safe, but the
safe crackers failed to discover it. The
box contained $500.
Two Suspicious characters have
been seen hanging around in that
locality for several weeks. 1t is also be-
lieved that these two men were yester-
day arrested by Officer Benson, although.
there is no entry of the arrest on the
regular entry book A HERALD reporter
was informed that Officer Benson has
been suspicious of the men for several
days. On Wednesday, he saw them go
into the store at the junction Of Main and
Spring streets. 1t was afterwards ascer-
tained that they purchased Is cents
worth of powder. The police depart
ment was not ready to divulge the fact
of two men being arrested on suspicion
of cracking tie safe in the grocery store.
Itis also reported that these men
were seen hanging around Seventh and
Main street. One of the ladies living
in the Robarts block overheard a con-
versation in which the men threatened
to 'shold up" Pearson, who keeps the
saloon, on the way up stairs with the
money. She informed Pearson, and in
consequence he had two friends 60 with
him up stairs. Sure enough the two
men stood in the hall and one had a
billy. AS three men came up together
instead of one they hastily decided not
to hold Pearson up on this occas sion. 1t
is believed that the men under arrest
are the same men who tried to get Pear
sons money as we'll as cracking the safe.

REDoNDo is becoming quite COM
mercial port. Our correspondent in
forms us that the application for wharf
age is so great that vessels have to
anchor out in the roadstead to await
their turn. A large ship is on her way
there from Antwerp laden with plate
glass and assorted cargo. If the COM
merce of that lively port continues to
increase, another wharf will become an
indispensable requisite.

The coyote scalp raid upon the state
treasury is apt to come to grief. The
attorney general is of the opinion that
the law is unconstitutional in that it
makes an appropriation OF money with
out making mention of the fact in the
title. This will send the law to the su-
preme court, where it will probably be
declared invalid for the reason given by
the attorney general.

All this accomplished perfection Of
railway service reminds us Of how few
and poor our facilities of travel and
transportation were as late as seventeen
or eighteen years ago. Then the only
way Of getting out Of Los Angeles, with
a single exception, was by stage. That
exception was the short span Of railway
which ran between Los Angeles and
Wilmington--a space OF only eighteen
miles. To get to San Francisco one had
to take the weekly steamer. Later the

An Old and Respected Citizen Passes
Away.

Deacon Lucas G. Merrill died at his
residence in this city on Christmas night.
Had he lived to Feb. s next he would
have been 81 years old. He was born i'll
Castleton, Vermont, where his younger
wears were spent and where he received
his early education. He graduated at
Middlebury College, Vermont. Before
coming to Wisconsin he was engaged in
banking and merchandising. He came
to Wisconsin in 1912 and selected Keno
sha for his future home. Here he en-
gagged in the mercantile trade and bank
ing. After the organization Of the First
National Bank here he performed the du
ties of Cashier for many years When he
had been employed as Cashier for long
time he relinquiShed close attention to the
bank, giving more time to rest He re-
tained his position as bank director to the
time of his death AS banker and bus
mess man it is safe to say he always bore
a reputation for honesty and integrity.
Probably during his life he did business
with a greater number of people in this
county than any other man. He was IA
military known as Deacon Merrill he
was chosen to that church office soon af
ter he came here to reside; he served the
church acceptably until the weight Of
years induced him to retire and leave the
duties to be performed by younger per-
sons. He leaves a wife, who is well
known for her many social qualities, and
two daughters, Mrs Geo. s. Baldwin OF
this city, and Mrs. Colt. of Grand Rapids
Mich. both Of whom have been married
quite number of years and well situated
in life. His funeral occurred on Sunday
afternoon last in the Congregational
church, Rev Mr.. Bray officiating.

OBITUARY..
LUCAS G. MERRILL.

Although Mr. Merrill had for several
months withdrawn from active life, on
accounto Of gradually declining health, the
announcement that he had passed away
was received on our streets by all classes
of business men with whom he had been
so long associated with feeling Of pain
full surprise.
For forty-two years he had been seen
day by day with unvarying punctualIty,
at his accustomed place Of business, and
the knowledge that his kindly, placid face
should be seen there no more, brought to
each a sense Of loss, of vacancy which the
death OF few others in our community
could have occasiOned.
Mr. Merrill was born in 1904 at Castle
ton, Vermont. On attaining manhood he
yielded to the prevalent impulse Of young
men of his age and came west, settling for
several years in Brockport, New York.
Thence he moved to Kenosha, then
Southport in 1912, and has since that
time until quite recently shared in all the
vicissitudes Of young western town, as
well in the period preceding the advent
Of railroads and kilograms as under the
new influences of the age in which we are
living la all these years he has been
distinguished for his systematic methods
of business, his accuracy and exactness
in details, his strict integrity and RELIABLE
ity Of word and statement, his gentle
courtesy and urbanity Of manner. None
who have transacted business with him
could fail to recognize the complete ideal
he realized IN all his relations of the
christian gentleman.
1t is especially in his church relations
hat he will be remembered most tenderly
by his large circle of christian friends.
Connected with the church in his early
manhood, he became identified with the
Congregational church of this city nearly
at the beginning of its organization, and
has worthily held one of its most import
ant offices for more than thirty-1ve years.
1t is no disparagement to any with whom
he has been associated with to add, that
in all that time he has been the model
deacon. Bringing with him from his old
home in the east sincere and unfalter-
ing attachment to the principles in which
he had been educated, ever striving for
purity of life and the highest attainable
spirituality, he has been the wise counsel
lor, the faithful friend Of poor and rich
alike the humble, earnest advocate of a
christian life, himself one Of its best eX-
amples Loving tenderly the church
with which he was connected he has ever
labored, quietly but perseyeringly and eff
ficiently for its prosperity. Liberal and
broad in his sympathies,. his prayers and
public expressions have always been for
the triumph of the principles of the Cos
pei in the entire community Given to
hospitality" as became his office, his
house has always been the favorite home
of his ministerial brethren and of all
christian strangers. Prominently the
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1891-01-08

man of peace, his words have often been
as '.oil on the troubled waters. AS be-
came a spirit SO gentle and true, quietly
he has sunk to his rest, His end was
peace"
The life of Deacon Merrill has been a
success in its grandest meaning. His
family have happy consolation in their
rich inheritance Of the blessed memory he
has left them Nothing more could be
desired than that which we believe he
has won,
'sAn honored life-a peaceful end,
With Heaven 70 crown it all.
