The public installation Of the officers
Of the camp OF Woodmen was a most
successful affair. The ceremonies were
conducted in the M. E. church which
was appropriately decorated for the oc-
casion. The program was opened by q
cordial address Of welcome by Rev. I. ].
Keator. Miss Jennie Null recited a
humorous parody "The Sale Of the
Woodmen," which was loudly applauded.
Then came the ceremony of installation
under the direction of neighbor E. H.
Van Orman, which was admirably con-
Quoted. Mr.. Van Orman did what few
installing officers do-had the ritual
committed to memory, making the service
unusually impressive. Miss Nellie Jor-
dan gave vocal solo, which was fol-
lowed by q paper by D. w. Barkley, q
solo by Miss Belle Roberts and recitation
by Fred Warren. In brief speech Mr..
Van Orman presented the great advan-
tages Of the Woodmep as one Of the best
OF the Fraternal orders, after which an
adjournment was effected to the Wood
mems hall where ice cream, cake and
lemonade were served free to all This
public installation has proved that Ord
way has live camp of Woodmen, which
ought to increase in m ,mbership.

The New York World Of Friday
contains the following dispatch from
Foo Chow. China, dated below;
A mob has just looted the American
mission chapel at InghOk, fifty miles
from here. Unless prompt, effective
action is taken there is danger of
great riots in the other places. The
Chinese soldiers sent to Ku Cheng to
protect foreign property plundered
the Stewart residences.
No American gunbOat has come
here. The situation is critical.
Foo Chow, Aug. San official on
his way to this city from Ku Cheng
was killed yesterday. There is no
American protection.
The American governments neglect
is infamous.
Foo Chow, Aug. S,-The evidence
already obtained shows that the mas
sacre at Hwasang was planned at
least a week before hand. The for
eign cOnsuls have the names of the
leaders in it and some of the partici-
pants.
An official Of Foo Chew sent 2lO SOL
diers into that section July q, TO pre-
vent the VegetarianS from murder
ing the Chinese.
The Vegetarians thought the mis-
sioharies had caused the troops to be
sent and decided to kill them.
They began Immediately to gather
at certain designated places. In pas
sing through the villages % their
way to the rendezvous the Vegetar-
ians publicly declared their intention
to destroy the churches and to kill
the Christians.
The local officials knew of this but
they did nothing to protect or even
warn the foreigners.
The night before the massacre a
native pastor heard in Ku Cheng
tlfat the Vegetarians were coming
20 XIII the foreigners on the morrow
He wrote a letter of warning to Mr.
Stewart at Hwasang, but delayed
sending it until daylight.
The messenger arrived half an hOul
too late,

Cheng at the time but he was no
potided.
The foreigners had no suspicion o.
the intended slaughter.

Wanted an Even Dozen

The Wichita Eagle has the follow
ing story to tell:
major Whittinghill, whom every
body in Southern Kansas knows, is
the city attorney Of Enid.
HE can draw an ordinance whose
cOnstitutiOnality could stand before
or behind any bar in that town. He
can draw nothing more regularly or
IN better form except his salary.
In personal appearance the major
bears a striking resemblance, fine,
pOrtly and dark. He has a heart as
big as a forty-tive cent watermelon
and a head that might be taken for
that of Napoleon or Daniel Webster.
He has tongue that could make
an empire laugh or cry at his will,
but they principally laugh. If he
hadn't been wit he would have been
a great man long ago.
1.-THE major was pure and innocent
at one time like many other people
and he started oft to be a school
teacher but he finally drifted into law
and there he is.
-'He taught many ideas how to
shoot in his time and he met one of
them a few days ago who shot too
much for his own good.
When Typ Wyatt the noted des-
perado was captured and taken to the
county Jail at Enid, where he was
carefully laid out on stretcher, hun
dreds of people called to see him.
Major Whittinghill was among the
number. He stood over the couch of
the dying bandit with that calm and
serene contemplation that is so noted
in the picture of Alexander the Great
at-the tomb of Richelieu.
"When he turned to 90 the bandit

Romance of a Kansas Miser.

OhN vi thC HUI lllCIu hdTSdS
papers recounts the fact that a
first cousin of the eccentric multi
millionaire, Russell Sage, has for
many years been a resident Of
Marshall county, Kansas. His
name is Colonel John Sage, and
the place Of his residence is Bar
rett, a small village on the line OF
the Central Branch railroad.
Colonel Sage came to Barrett
in the early COS, and from the
day he first drove stakes in the
town he has never been outside
Of Marshall county. He was soon
marked by his neighbors for the
queer ways he had and for the
extraordinary parsimony with
which he conducted his business
affairs. One of his economics, or
idioSyncracies, was never to wear
socks. 1t was said Of Colonel
Sage that the reason he did not
marry was because it required
too great an outlay Of his prec-
ious gold to pay for a license.
He came to Barrett a poor man.
Within five years he owned a
well improved farm, and gradu-
ally added to his possessions un-
til he became the largest proper
ty owner in Marshall county.
He possessed all of the money
making qualities of his Wall
street cousin, and if he fell short
OF accumulating the great fortune
OF the latter, it was because of
circumscribed opportunities. For
a number Of years past he has
occupied a queer little stone
house in Barrett, living entirely
alone and doing his own cooking
and washing, He is now Is
years of age, bent, tremulous and
decrepid, but his bright eye still
glistens with the fire of the mis-
er's love. A number Of years ago
Colonel Sage adopted a young
girl. When she had reached ID
years Of age he called in a lawyer
and made his will, Of which She
was the sole beneficiary. At IS
years of age, however, the girl
married young man to whom
Colonel Sage bore an unconquer-
able dislike, and in his rage he
tore up the will and disinherited
the girl. Later a little daughter
was born to the welded couple,
ana for the baby the old man de-
veloped a wonderful love. All
the pent up tenderness of his
stony nature seemed to concen-
trate and pour over the life Of the
prattling little one. He made a
new will, in which the infant was
named as sole heir, and providing
that his vast property should 90
into the hands Of trustees for her
benefit when death should have
claimed him. The paper from
which the story is gathered says
that Colonel Sage is easily worth
$500, 900. To a friend, or rather
an acquaintance, for he has no
close friends, he recently stated
that he had sold thirty-three
farms in Marshall county, each Of
which contained 100 acres, and
invested the proceeds in safe Sc
cureties. He felt that he was
growing too old, he said, to man.
age his vast farming interests in
person, and be would trust no
one else to do it. His feeble
steps and bowed form as he hob
bles about his lonely home indi-
cate that the little Marshall coun-
ty heiress will not have many
years to wait before she becomes
the richest girl in Kansas.
