PARK FOR BONNER SPRINGS
Kansas City Capitalists May Build an
Electric Line Out Also

Kansas City. Aug. 25.-It is stated up-
on reliable authority that a movement
is on foot among local capitalists and
moneyed men of the Missouri side to
organize railroad and park company
for the purpose of improving Bonner
Springs and building an electric line to
that beautiful little resort
Bonner Springs is about IA miles west
of this city on the Union Pacific road
1t is one of the most attractive spots in
this vicinity With the expenditure of
little money the place could be put in
first class condition, and, this done. the
people of the two Kansas Citys could
not ask for finer place to spend a few
days fishing, hunting and rusticating.
A scheme to buy the park and build
an electric line was started last wear
shortly after the close of the annual

AFRlDIS ADVANCE.
The War i'm India Maintains Its
Serious Phase.

Simla, Aug. 25.-It is officially an
nounced today that Fort Ali-Musjid on
the Khyber pass was evacuated after
IL of the garrison, composed of -Khy-
ber rifles (native levies), had deserted.
No news has been received of the re-
mainder of the garrison and there is no
confirmation of the report that the Afri-
dis have masscred 300 SepOys at that
place.
Fort Jehangera, which has been occu-
pied by the Afridis. is only a tower and
not of much Importance.
A force of 1000 Afridis has advanced
to Fort Lukari, twelve miles from Fort
Bara, which is southeast of Jamrud.
General Ellis will attempt to cut off the
retreat of the enemy.
Fort Lundikotal has not yet been at
tackled.
The insurgents are reported to be
short of food and ammunition.
London, Aug. 25.-It is admitted, even
in official circles, that the news from
India is of the gravest description. All
those who are familiar with the Situa-
the rising of the warlike Afridis. who
are estimated to muster $4,000 fighting
men The Afridis. however, only form
a part of the insurgents.
A letter from India published in the
Standard emphasizes the belief that the
Sultan of Turkey is at the back of the
whole uprising
Peshawar, Aug. 25.-u is reported
fanatical priests, attacked the Sepoys
near Fort Ali-Musjid about noon yester-
day, massacring 300, capturing their

SEXTUPLE LYNCHING.
Six Negroes Hanged at Once in
Arkansas.

Little Rock. Ark. Aug. 25.-Fearfu1
scenes have been enacted in Arkansas
in the past few days. If the report
which reached here this morning should
be true a wholesale Iynching, which
for the number of men put to death
without process of law, has probably
never been para1leled in the annals of
crime, has taken place in Clebourn
county, where, according to the report,
six men were swung into eternity by
a maddened and enraged mob of citi-
Zens of this county.
One negro was burned in his own
home by a posse of deputy SherfffS in
Drew county Sunday night, and Tues
day morning the lifeless body of a ne
gro murderer was found dangling from
a railroad treStle.
Last night six of the murderer's
companions in crime were taken to jail
at Rison and this morning comes the
report that the entire half dozen were
lynched last night An effort to verify
this report has so far proved futile, but
there are reasons to believe that it is
true.
A terrible riot occurred at a negro
picnic near Kendall on Saturday. There
was much drunkenness among the ne
and cut by mob of picnickers. One of
these men, Mr.. T. J. johnson, a proIni-
nent white man died of his wounds The
white citizens became enraged at the
negroes and took matters in their own
hands and the two ring leaders in the
riot were arrested and turned over to
the mob. Quick work was made of one
of them, but the other escaped after be-
ing shot several times.
Not satisfied, the enraged citizens be-
gan searching for other members of the
rioters of the picnic party and six more
were gathered in. They were arrested
in daylight and the officers started with
them to jail at RiSon, the county seat.
The excitement ran SO high that relia-
Bile informa ton was hardly obtainable
but the prediction was freely made that
all six of the negroes would be Iynched
within u hours. The report that the
sextuple 1ynching has already occurred
reaches here through passengers arriv-
ing from Pine Bluff which place is only
a short distance from the scene of ex-
cifament

SALVATION ARMY'S SIDE.
Why the Army Wants Kansas Avenu'
For Its Meetings.

Ensign Hawk of the Salvation Army
writes the State Journal regarding the
Army's difficulty with Chief Steele. He
says:
''First-The statement that several
runaways had been caused by the Army
IS absolutely false.
and where horses are seen TO be taking
fright the cause for it is stopped at
once"
Ensign Hawk also says:
We would much prefer to quietly
and peaceably proceed with our work
The filth and gloom of such jail as
Topeka has holds no attraction for any
of the Army people and nothing but the
sacrificing of what we believe to be
our rights as Christians would cause US
TO take a chance of spending a term
there. Still we feel the Army has du-
ty that it cannot do without the rights
of the streets.
THE majority of our converts are
people that have no interest in church or
mission, they will not come to our hall
neither will they walk distance down
dark side street to- listen to US, but by
being able to be where they congregate
and pass we often can arrest their at
terest within them, draw them to our
hall and to embrace religion.

fered US the use of any of the side
streets must be examined

crowd can be successfully gathered dur

and we should have an equal right; he
eyaded the question but last night we
went to that corner for our meeting and
they came after and took a stand right

only side street properly lighted and to
obey this order will mean great hin
drance to our work We wish to obey

we want to obey God and do well the
