MOVE TO GAIN TIME.
Central Wisconsin Electric Railway
Company at Oshkosh De-
clared to be Insolvent.

Oshkosh, Wis, May 7.-[SpeciaL]-
The long-delayed electric street railway
matter reached a sensational climax to-
day when upon application of Thomp-
son, Harshaw & Thompson, on an un-
satisfied judgment for $14S, the Central
Wisconsin Electric Railway company
was declared insolvent and f. H. Josslyn
of this city named as receiver under
bonds Of $4,000. An injunctional order
was also issued temporarily restraining
all suits against the company or inter-
ference with it's property.
This action is considered a shrewd
move by the electric company, which for
several weeks has been sparring for time
to secure money to continue building OPP
eratiOns. Several suits for material fur
nished are now pending and the city has
ordered the company to proceed with the
work of construction or have it's right of
way filled in. The company has about
four miles of track laid.
Mr.. Josslyn, the receiver, is one of the
chief promoters and stockholders Of the
company. The nominal assets are placed
at $4,000, with liabilities about $22,-
000

MAY BE LYNCHED.
Oconto County Farmer Kills a NeighbOr
and Burns the Body.

Oconto, Wis, May S.-[Special.l "A
terrible crime has been reported here
from the town of Howe, this county.
John Leseck, well-known farmer, got
into dispute with another farmer and
the latter shot Leseck in the head, kill
ing him instantly. He then took the
body of the dead farmer to a brushpile
so badly burned that nothing was left by
which they could be recognized. Among
the ashes, however, were some buttons
and key which were identified as be-
longing to Leseck. After the murder
the man left for the woods and has since
that time eluded the officers. A posse
left here last night for the scene of the
murder, but up to noon today they had
not returned The people around here
are greatly excited and the chances are
that if the man is caught he will be
lynched.

MISSION WORK IN CHINA.
st. Paul's Missionary There Tells of
It's Progress.

:. Rev. George Warner. a. missionary
engaged in the field of Western China
Tor the past seven years, related his
experiences among the heather to a
large congregation at the First Bap-
list church, Ninth and Wacouta streets.
last evening. Mr. Warner was former
~ member Of the First Baptist
church, and was sent to Inland
China by the Western China mission.
At the time he and his companions
entered the empire no missionaries had
penetrated to the interior but when he
left his work for a. short visit to the
United States a station had been es-
tablished 1900 miles inland.
Mr.. Warner was in the riots in China
year ago, and had many narrow
escapes from death at the hands of the
frenzied natives. but he did not speak
or that phase of the subject last even
ing, combining himself wholly to the
advance of Christianity in the empire.
The missionaries, he said, had been
driven out of China not because they
were missionaries. but for the reason
that they were foreigners. The natives
of China hated the encroachments of
foreigners of all nations, and when this
feeling broke out outrages. were perpe-
trated on the grounds of nationality
and not religion One form Of belief
however, Mr.. Warner said, had aroused
a great deal of animosity among the
natives, and often Protestant mission
aries found it difficult to escape from
the hatred thus engendered The re-
cent war with Japan and the constant
ly strained commercial relations which
China bore with other nations, was
also responsible for many of the out-N
breaks against foreigners The speak
er did not blame the Chinese for the
manner in which they treated foreign
ers, because. he said, other nations
had not treated China rightly They
had not taken the spirit of Christ into
their dealings with the Chinese, and
consequently a natural state of enmfty
was allowed to increase to bitter hat
red. Approached in the spirit of true
Christianity, the Chinese were a people
whose national and individual charac-
tiers were unexcelled by any other ma
ton, and, observing this rule, Mr..
Warner stated as his belief that the
time would come when the whole of
the Chinese empire would be won over
to Christ
