This story was related to the writer by

was his answer:
miss l.eonora A. Howard graduated
from our medical school In 1875. She
went out as medical missionary to
Tientsin, China, which is the residence
of LII Hung Chang. Lady Ii, us she was
generally called. the wife Of Ii Hung
Chang, had been i'll for some time and
had failed to get relief from Chinese ply
sicians. She called in the services OF
Miss Howard, who resided for u time in

lief to Lady III. and she was very CRATE

her. Ii Hung Chang himselfwas so APP

found that she wished to establish a

The story about Frank James and
the Centralia massacre, which was
in the Columbia Herald
two weeks ago, was a most valuable
contribution to the history Of Missou-
ri and was, in addition to this, one of
the most interesting stories that has
been published in any newspaper in
the state for many a day. That it came
from the versatile pen of Walter Will
liams is almost a certainty, and that
nothing more than this need be said
of anything published in the HerGld
is a certainty beyond a doubt. The
Columbia Herald is one of the three
shining lights among Missouri news
papers, the Mexico LEDGER and the
Maryville Tribune being the other
two.
