MENACBD BY
GRAVE DANGER
Two Doors About to Be
Thrown Open for an In
Vasion of Slaves.
Inefioiency of Officials Permits
an Evasion of Existing
Laws.
The Annexation of Hawaii Will Bring
in Rordes of Immoral
Women.

When the ladies cs the Methodist Mis-
sion House, in Chinatown, began their
crusade against traffic in Chinese women
in this city they did not count upon a
danger from the outside. Their whole
work was bent toward suppressing exist
ing conditions. But now they find them
selves confronted by a possib lity OF an IN
vasion, sanctioned by law, OF hordes of
women who will be subject TO barter and
sale-slaves in every sense of the word and
of the most degraded kind.
While there are now not less than 1900
Chinese slave women IN San Francisco,
the recent ruling regarding the admis sion
OF families OF merchants without certit-
Gates has opened the doors TO such an ex-
tent that unless the President in nterferes
and asks Congre s to take further action
the whole country will be flooded with
women who will come in as members OF
the families OF merchants, but who will in
reality be slaves brought here for i'm moral
purposes.
In addition TO this, another danger
menaces from the possible annexation OF
Hawaii, where there are not less than
thousand slave women. Should that
country be annexed, these women will
Immediately fnd their way into the
United States and increase the ,hrong
which now fills the cities OF the Pacific
Coast with the worst of evils. These
threatening dangers have spurred the
ladies to further effort toward getting an
enormous petition TO President McKin-
ley, asking him TO call upon Congress for
speedy action and relief.
In speaking of the mater Yesterday an
official of the United States Government
said he thought the forwarding of the
petition would have good effect. 1t will
bring he Eastern people to full realiza
ton OF the conditions that prevail, not
withsranding the fact that the laws, both
national and municipal, are ample to put
a stop 10 the traffic ana to the violations
OF the exclusion act. This gentleman
said it would not do 10 have his name
mentioned, for it would put him in the
position OF criticZng his superors. He
said the root of the trouble lay with
those we're intrusted with the execution of
the laws, and not with the laws them
selves.
Should the petition go 10 Washington
with a goOdly mum ber OF names 1t would
cause the President to at once bring about
an investigation, and this would end in
IN ore efficiency In the administration of
the laws.
The petition has been signed by the
mem bers OF the various ministerial alli-
ances of the city, and at both the Baptist
and Presbyterian assemblies II was numer-
ousy signed aud the secretaries OF those
meetings were authorized TO sign for the
entire assent bly,, something in the neigh
borhCod OF 1000 names being thus repre-.
senled.
Active WORK is now to be done among
the business men and various officials,
and IL is also proba BILE that an additional
petition VIII be signed calling attention
to the Chinese question As il relates to
the annexation OF the Hawaiian Islands

the wneat s,acks.

Postmaste A. w. Pratt, who las had
many years. experience in the wheat
trade and is as competent as any man
in the northwest to speak on that sub
ject, sounds warning to the farmers
in connection with the danger tlat con-
fronts hem through their headed wheat
heating in the stacks. He has seen
some in this condition already and
fears that the danger will be consider
able in this vicinity unless extra pre-
cautions are taken. BY permitting
their wheat to heat in the stack farmers
will lose in quantity, lose in grade, and
of course lose heaviest OF all in price.
This loss, indeed. will amount to 5 or 10
cents per bushel and perhaps more.
Mr.. Pratt advises farmers to keep close
watch Of their stacks and when the
first sign of heating is observed to re-
stack the headed wheat by simply turn
ing itsover into another pile. In this
way two men can re-stack great quanti-
ties In day at small cost, and when
the wheat Is so re.stacked it will cure
better, remove all cause OF anxiety and
permit the farmers to proceed with their
plowing. There should not be too much
hurry in tilreshing, lie believes, aud too
much care cannot be exercised in keep
ing up the grade this year when the
price is 10 good. Big wages can be
made in re-stacking the headed wheat,
he says, while the loss will be very great
if it is permitted TO suffer.-Aberdeen

from the east bound train three miles
east of Mt. Vernon Monday morning and
was ground to pieces. The first that was
known of the accident was the discovery
Of the body on the track by the section
men shortly after noon. The head was
smashed, the left ear severed from the
body and the right one nearly so. A
special train was sent out from Mitchell
and the remains taken to the Logan
undertaking establishment. Just how
the accident occurred no one will ever
know. His hat was found on the plet
form Of the cars and his mileage book.

near the body. Tho last seen Of the de-
ceased was at Mt. Vernon. He was then
sitting on tho platform of the car hold.
idg his head in his hands ana scanned to
be sick. The presumption is that he
must have in some way fallen between
the coaches, but inst how, with tie pat
ent couplings and bumpers and the rail-
ings, is MYSTERY. The home of the de
ceased was in Minneapolis. He Travelled
for the Carpenter Lumber Co., and did
business here Monday morning with
John Parker. 1t was at first supposed tc
be case Of suicide, but those who knew
the man scott at the idea.

Got Low GRADE wheel.

"Well my son" said tho editor OF the
Danyille Breese to his son. who wanted
a wheel, you'll find one in tho front
end Of the wheelbarrow, and there is
big pile of coal ashes back of the house
that will hava to be moved. The handle
bars are of white ash and adjustable,
so you can get any style of hump on
that suits your fancy. 1t is regulated
largely by the load you put on. The
bigger tho load the more you have to
hump yourself. Be careful and don't
mar the enamel on the frame, and keep
ball-bearings we'll oiled so they won't
cut into the cones. The tire is abso-
lutely punctureless, so you wont have to
take pump and repair kit with you.
By the time you have removed the pile
of ashes think you will have made a
century run-also the prespiration.
You'd better come into dinner now"
