Above the din and turmoil of our life,
A surging voice was heard;
Its full, clear music fell upon our ear,

And tired steps were checked, and eyes grew
bright,
Forgetting cares they listened with delight
It's glad song on the mornings freshness rose
And ever seemed to say.
Up up with me above this earthly strife
Into purer way! a..
And when the shadows cooled the valleys dim
Whispered the days farewell in parting

FUNDS ARE SHY.

Mineral Land Commissioners Will Hav
to Stop Work Soon, It II Said.
WASHINGTON, Aug. There is a
great deal of interest throughout the
West in regard to the continual de-
crease in the appropriation made by the
last congress for mineral land commits
sioners. These gentlemen, it will be
remembered, were appointed to locate
and reserve to the government all min
eral lands upon the public domain, and
several very prominent Democrats have
been engaged in the work during the
According to present esti-
mates the appropriation cannot hold
out more than two or three months
longer at best, and the mineral COM
missioners, their friends, and those in
terested in the work, are anxious to
know if the interior department can
provide for funds for carrying it on
until congress can make an appropria-
ton. This the department. cannot do.
As soon Is the available money is ex-
hausted the mineral commissioners will
have to suspend work until congress
gives them q further existence fund.

BURLINGTON GOING WEST.

Surveyors Said to Be Locating a Line to
the South II the Northern Pacific.
SPOKANE, Aug. IA special from
Starbuck, Wash, says: The Burling-
ton road is coming west, and there are
reasons for the belief that it is coming
in q hurry. "a route running nearly
midway between the Northern and
Union Pacific, through a wild and I'M
settled country, is now being explored
and surveyed with all possible haste by
the engineers of the company, who are
working miles south Of the routes
usually considered available for
the Burlington. The engineers are
well supplied with surveying ap.
paratus and evidently are anxious to
get to work as quickly as possible, ow-
ing to the shortness Of the season on
the Rocky mountain slope. From one
of them it was learned they propose to
locate a line up the valley, working
east towards the Wyoming line and
probably crossing it in the northern
part of Fremont county, opposite the
National park, unless a better route
through the Rockies can be secured by
crossing into Southern Montana.

Convinced the Union Pacific Is a Good
Road If Run on a Business Basis.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7.-Congress-
man w. J. Coombs of New York, one
Of the government directors Of the
Union Pacific, is in the city. He is on
a tour of inspection of the Union Pa
cifc, in order to obtain sufficient
information to enable him to agree
with the four other government
directors upon some feasible plan
for q fair settlement Of the roads in
debtedness to the government. In
speaking Of the prospects of the road,
he said:
with good management the Union
Pacific ought to experience great
prosperity, but there are some
very serious mistakes which will
have to be rectified before it can be
placed on a sound footing. This over
bonding and over-capitalization have
shown their evil effects. The road has
got to get down to a business basis be-
fore it can be operated with profit, and
in d n that will permit the pay
ments Of its obligations.

Victims We're Burned Alive or Killed
With Spears and Swords.
LONDON, Aug. ca Shanghai dis
patch to The Times says that the mis-
sion and s%anitarium at VIVA Sang,
near Ku Cheng, province of Fo Klein,
has been attacked and 10 British sub
jects killed.
The Rev. Mr.. Stewart, wife and
child were burned in their house.
The Misses Yellow and Marshall, two
sisters named Saunders, two sisters
named Gordon and Steetie Newcome
were murdered with spears and
swords. Miss Codrington was seri-
ouslya wounded about the head and
Stewards eldest child had a knee cap
injured while the younger had an eye
gouged out. The Rev. MI. Phillips
with two Americans, were wounded
but arrived safely at Flu Chau Flu.
The project Of Cheng Flu, who was on
the inquiry commission, is seriously
implicated in the Cheng Flu outrages.
OfioiaIs to Blame.
A two column article from Hankau,
on the GAGS Szu Chuen mission out
RACES, published in The Times declares
that officials are at the bottom of all
a~nti-foreign feeling, and that the
Chinese people themselves are quite
friendly. The letter suggests that if
the powers tried a little benevolent re-
~taliation it would prove an infallible
cure.
The Standard in it's editorial on the
Ku Cheng outrage, says: "We must
speak to China in a manner which
cannot be misunderstood. Not only
must the murderers be punished, but a
thorough example must be made of the
officials whose neglect permits such
outrages."

AMERICANS ALL SAFE
Only British Subjects Were
Killed at the Wha Sang
Massacre.
VICTIMS BRUTALITY TREATED.
We're Burned to Death or
Murdered With Spears
and Swords.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 6.-The state de-
partment has received later intelligence
Of the killing of the missionaries in
Ku Cheng, China. The dispatch, like
the n received Saturday, was from
Consul General Jernigan, and shows
that no Americans suffered, but that
the massacre of British subjects was
greater than at first reported. The
consul generals dispatch is as follows:
Americans safe. None hurt. Ten
British killed"
Although MI. Jernigen does not use
the word missionaries" in his dis.
patch, there is no doubt felt by the
officials Of the state department. that
he refers to them, and that his dis
patch is intended as supplementary to
that Of Saturday. Much qualification
is expressed that the Americans have
not suffered, as the dispatch appears to
leave NJ doubt on that point. The ca
blegram was at once forwarded to Sec
rotary Olney for his information.
Instruction 10 DENLY.
Up to this time, so far as ascer-
tanned, no steps have been taken by the
navy department. toward sending any
naval force to the district where the
reported massacre has occurred. When
word came of the trouble Saturday the
customary instructions were sent to
Minister DENLY at Pekin to see that
American interests were protected. In
a response received the minister said
that small boats could reach the place
quick with marines.
Admiral Carpenter is in command Of
the Chinese station, and he has
authority to use the vessels and men
under his command to assist in afford.
ing any protection that may be re.
garded as necessary. The lack of ships
of light draught that can penetrate the
shallow waters of the Chinese rivers is
a serious embarrassment to the author.

BIG COMPANIES COMBINE.

The Result VIII Probably Be an I'M
proved Electric Engine.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.-The success
full use OF electricity as a motive power
on steam roads has led the Baldwin To-
connective works and the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing company
to effect q combination. Conferences
have been going ON between the two
companies for ths past two or three
months, which have resulted in an
agreemet by which they will hereafter
work together in the development of
apparatus for the operation Of steam
railroads by electricity. It is expected
that the union Of these two companies
will result in the early introduction Of
improved forms of electric motors for
standard railways.

MAY NOT BE DROWNED.

Theory That j. v. Wheeler IL q Fugitive
From Justice.
ST. PAUL, Aug. THE police drag
net has been substituted in the search
for Joseph V. Wheeler, who was sup
posed to be drowned in Forest lake.
The theory is now advanced that he
left st. Paul late Saturday afternoon
with nearly $1,000 in his possession,
which, it is alleged, he obtained by
forging five signatures to a deed. With
that instrument he had no difficulty in
securing a mortgage loan of'$l,000. He
received that amount at 11:15 o'clock
Saturday forenoon, and it is believed
that the leaving of his clothes in the
boat at Forest lake was merely q blind.

Iowa's Assessed Valuation.

Dies MONIES, Ia, Aug. THE ex-
ecutive council finished the equal
ization Of the assessment of the state
for the next two years. It places the
total valuation at 1851, 100000, being a
shrinkage over two years ago Of So, OOO,-
900. The levy was fixed at ~ mills,
the same as was made two years ago.
It was thought the levy would be re.
duced, but owing to the shrinkage in
values, due mostly to decline in per-
sonal property, the expense Of the new
code and the taking Of the census, it
was found impossible TO reduce it.
