New YORK, Sept 3-Reports of the
outrages upon missionaries in China
have come from members of the Amer
lean Baptist Missionary union to the
Baptist Missionary Magazine. which
shows that the uprisings were more
general than has been told before. In
the last week of May and the first of
June all the missionary stations in
Western China were looted by mobs
and 146 missionaries, men, women and
children were driven away. escaping
only with their lives.
In the province of SEE Chuan. the
largest in the empire. there were
many small stations scattered over the
valley of the Upper Yang Use river.
Most of the missionaries had gone to
the field in the past five years. While
the authorities seem to have tried, in
some instances, to protect the mis-
sionaries, the only service they were
able to render was to help them to es-
cape. The missionaries fed hundreds
of miles down the river, travelling on
RATS and in households. hardly carry

The Baptist missionaries believe the
riots were melted by members of the

A HAPPY HEIR.
If Rev. De Harppart Has Not Been Bun

If Rev. De Harppart Has Not Been Bum
coed He Is Now Worth $40 900.
There is rejoicing in quiet way in a
very modest home onsi.ake street today.
Kew w. E. De Harppart. passor of the.
Parkdale Free Methodist church, lives
at.734 Lake street. Yesterday he re-
ceived a letter from his mother in Penn
sylvania saying that it had been settled
that the American heirs of the old
Chevalier de Harppart of France were
to receive the estate.
The estate of the old chevalier, who
was the Parkdale DeHarppart's great
grandfather, amounts to 5,000000 francs,
an / there are fourteen heirs among
whom to divide it.
Mr.. DeHarppart thinks the news is too
good to be true, although he has been
expecting it for years, but if it is, his
share will be in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
The DeHarpparts formerly lived in
Iowa and have lived in Mcpherson and
in n arion, Kan.

BAD AIR TO IsKEATHE.

The Matter Comes Up in the House Today.
An interesting discussion arose in the
house today over resolution offered by
by Mr. Rohrbaugh.
1t was:
Resolved that the state architect be
and is hereby requested forthwith to ex-
anime thoroughly the present ventilat-
ing appliances of this. house and report
at once what is necessary to be done to
put the house in healthful and comfor-
table condition.
He said many of the members had
gone home sick and half of those here
were unfit to perform their duties and it
was because of the poor ventilation.
Mr.. Seaton said it was because the
superintendent OF ventilation was dere-
lict in his duties and there was no fresh
air let in.
Mr.. Winters agreed with the others
that the hall was in bad shape. This
hall is disgrace to the state, both as TO
ventilation and acoustic properties and
l Will do all l can to defeat the appro-
priation for the state house unless some
provision is made to remedy these condi-
tions- A man might as well try to talk
with his head in barrel as to talk in
this house."
81 am of the opinion that it is the gas
in the hall which causes the trouble,
partly from the chandeliers and partly
from the floor of the house." said Mr..
Goodno, which created laugh.
The resolution to purify the air in the
house was adopted.

The Recent Mayor of New York in the
Tolls.
NEW YORK, Feb. ia morning paper
publishes statement to the effect that
the special grand jury which has been
in session for the past few days has pre-
pared indictments against ex- Mayor Gil
roy and others. Ex-Mayor Gilroy is not
in the city.
Thomas F. Gilroy, Jr, son of the
ex- mayor, called at the district attor-
ney's Office early this morning. He
was laboring under considerable
excitement and was vehement in his
denunciation of the article in a morn
ing paper which said his father had
bee n indicted He said:
ssThe publication SO far as my father
is concerned is absolutely false and
steps will be taken at once to sue the
paper or papers which printed it"
Officials of the district attorneys office
were mute today when asked to the truth
of a story that ex Mayor Gilroy. Inspec-
tors Williams, McAvoy and Mclaughlin
had been indicted by the extraordinary
grand jury which yesterday adjourned
till Marcia e8
Assistant District Attorney Lindsay
who with Special Deputy District At
torney Rollins and Fox has been acting
in an advisory capacity to the grand
jury, refused absolutely to discuss the
matter.
No indictments were handed in to JUS
tice Ingraham yesterday when the grand
jury adjourned, and it is not considered
likely that they will be handed in before
the grand jury reconvenes on March 4.

MIR. CURTIS WINS 1T.

Our Congressman Secures Settlement of a
Pension Bill of Many Years Standing.
WASHINGTON, Feb 16-Representa-
tive Curtis has called up and had passed
in the house the bill placing Mrs. Salo-
ma Mangold of CarbondaIe on the PEN
sion roll. This is a noted pension case
as it is claimed that the husband died at
St Joseph in 1858, but the fact could
not be established and seven special ex
aminations had made reports on the case.
AS it is a rule of the president to never
sign pension bill, but allow them to be-
come law by limitation, unless vetoed,
this is the last night of pension work this
session when bills will become a law.
This practically kills the bill granting u
pension to the widow of the late ex-
Governor Martin of Kansas.

The SedgwicIx Sheriff Has Gone and the
Saloons are Opening Up.
WICHITA, Feb. 16.-"Where is Royse:"
is the question asked today, and echo an
swers ''where?"
The sheriff is out of the city. To the
question "Where has he gone? his dep
uties return evasive answers. If they
know they don't state. Probably he has
gone away for his health.
But his orders to his deputies still re-
main. Some of the saloons have been
open today. and in several cases dep
uty sheriff has gone to these places and
ordered them closed 1t is asserted that
Royse will take the liquor and stock in
trade in his raids later on and therefore
the saloons with expensive bars are not
running any chances by selling.
At the court house it was learned that
when ever a saloon opens for business a
telephone message is sent into the sheriff
and an officer is at once dispatched to
order them closed and investigate the
affair. Who it is that is keeping this
close tab is not known.

PICKETT CASE DISMISSED
Lack of Evidence Was the Cause.

Lack OF evidence w as the cause
The case of Mr.. and Mrs. Philip
Pickett, who were arrested Thursday
morning charged with harboring disor-
derly persons at their mineral baths on
Harrison street, was dismissed in the po-
lice court this morning.
This results from the investigation held
yesterday afternoon by Chief of Police
WiIkerson and City Attorney Hungate.
They went out in the neighborhood of
the house to find witnesses but could not
find anybody that would be willing to
swear that the house was of bad repute.
With this lack of evidence it was
thought advisable to drop the case.
The girls who were found in the house
are both out of Jail and have forfeited
their deposits. The Pike girl has gone
with Flora Douglass to Kansas City to
live, it is understood in police circles.
Philip Pickett will hereafter exercise
more care in allowing strangers to take
quarters at his place.

WASHINGTON, Feb 16.-After Mr. Hill

he was informed by president of a

the bonds at that figure"
The president, he declared had at
tackled the government credit. He said
that his message to congress contained
living statement that he desired to main
tain the parity of our currency when he
had already negotiated contracts which
discredited silver
MIR Hill replied to Mr.. Wolcott in an
other plea for his resolution. In closing
he declared himself an earnest bi-metal-
list and hoped to see the restoration
of silver succeed. He was rejoiced to
read an Associated Press dispatch just
received from Berlin announcing that
action had been taken looking toward
the rehabilitation of silver
This declaration of the policy of
the government should receive the
support of every SENATOR" said he,
"unless there sits about this
circle gold monometallist or silver

them But assuming that senator is

policy embodies his views 1t is wise
resolution for the present emergency"
! Mr.. Hill said the declaration first an
nounced as the true policy of the gov
ernment that our efforts should be turned
toward the accomplishment of bimetal-

81 need not remind both political par
ties that this is what they profess" he
proceeded.
"It is of supreme moment" said Mr..
Hill. ssthat we should declare to the
country and to the world that it is not
necessary to maintain the single gold
standard, or the single standard of sill
ver.''
Mr. Hill said that congress was further
apart now than it was six months ago.
The provision for gold bonds on one
hand was met by the opposition for un-
limited silver coinage on the other. What
ha become of the proposition to re-
deem the greenback and the financial
plans. "But in this condition of mac
tion," proceed Mr.. Hill, congress
can at least take this one step that will
assure the world that although we may
have our hands tied on these various
i the full assurance that they would be
1 paid by the best money in use"
