likely to patrOniZe laundries. The cir
cular says, among other things:
1.-The Chinaman is not born in Amer
lea, he is not raised in America, he has
no American education and he is not
willing to settle in America and to be-
come an American citizen. Therefore,
he is and will always remain a stran-
ger in America. The Chinaman comes
to America, not to settle in it and be
come a good and honest citizen, but to
make money, to save money and to
send this money to his native country,
where he must return, alive or dead; his
home is not America, but China. Liv-
ing in America, making money in Amer
lea and enjoying all the liberties and
benefits of American institutions, the
Chinaman does nothing for America. He
deprives himself of nearly all the neces-
saries of life in order to save money
to send to his native country"
The association says that the Chinese
charge and one-half cents for ironing
cuffs and collars and five and six cents
for shirts, when the regular prices are
two and ten cents, respectively. If the
Americans were to cut the rates down
to this figure the Chinese Washermen
would cut the rate still lower The as
sociation asks the people for all these
reasons to keep away from Chinese
laundries.
The Chinese laundrymen, knowing
that this storm was coming, have been
prepared for it. They tell their custom
ers that they eat beefsteak, and there
is a movement among them to adopt
American dress.

TROUBLE OVER DATES.
Keokulz, Ia, and Carthage. Ill, Are
at War.

Keokuk, Iowa, Aug. 25.-The county
fair and the street show have locked
horns. On one side is Carthage backed
by all Hancock county; on the other
side is Keokuk with the Mississippi riv-
er between.
The Illinois county resolved to hold
county fair this year and set the date
at Sept to 9, inclusive. For years
there had been good feeling between
keokuk and Handbook county, Sud
denly, however, a cloud arose between.
1t came from Nation, where the street
fair had been popular. Hubinger, the
starch king, caught sight of it and not
satisfied with owning all the franchises
in KeOkuk and in the river towns from
the Twin Cities to Cairo, he concluded
to dabble in a real street fair. such as
no other town ever conceived.
He preached the subject to Keokuk
men and as usual found them in his
way of thinking. Then, seemingly un-
mindful of the fact that friends across
Keokuk set the same dates for their
street show Then the agricultural So
ciety protested. So it is a question
whether Hancock county will pay a
quarter to see it's own show or spend
that much to get across the river to see
one free of charge. Carthage has
threatened that unless Keokuk changes
It's dates Hancock county in the future
will trade no more in the Iowa town.
To the end of breaking trade relations
two committees from Carthage have
been formed, one to consult with bust
ness men of Quincy, forty miles down
the river and the other to talk with the
merchants of Burlington, thirty-twO
miles north. Quincy, Carthage and
Burlington are on one line of the Chica-
go, Burlington & Quincy system. The
county also is entered by the Wabash
and by the Toledo. Peoria & Western
lines.
Hancock county has two fair associa-
tions, one at Carthage, and one at La
Harpe. The fair at LaHarpe is billed
to open today and to continue for four
days.

STRANGE STORY OF A SHOT
1owan Is Sued For Wound inflicted
Fifty Years Ago.

Hamburg. Iowa, Aug 25.-A Reno,
New, tragedy of half a century ago
has been suddenly transferred to this
place by the. arrival of T. v. Julien.
city attorney of Reno, as defendants
attorney in a case which involves $25,-
600 and the good name of one of the
best known men in this place.
Some fifty and odd years ago Jacob
McKisSick, now widely known as the
builder and owner of McKissick's opera
house and other extensive interests at
Reno and Whereabouts, lived here. He
became entangled in a quarrel with
man named John Allen, since deceased.
At the time Allen occupied a room with
a man named FOrby. One night while
in bed with Allen, Forby was shot and
seriously, but not fatally, wounded. 1t
was alleged at the time that McKissick
had done the shooting and that he had
intended the bullet for his enemy, Allen.
McKissick was arrested and tried, but
was acquitted.
Subsequently McKissick went west
and located at Reno. His business en-
terprises proved successful and the old
quite decrepit, is the possessor of lands
in Long Valley, buildings in Reno and
property here and other Iowa points
representing $500 900. A year ago Nc
Kissick made the journey back to Iowa,
and while here, it is claimed, admitted
that the supposition of half a century
ago that he had tried to kill Allen and
had shot the wrong man was a fact.
McKissick ayers that he made no
such statement or acknowledgements
and strenuously denies its truth. but
Forby, who in the meantime had re-
moved to Missouri, had heard of the
alleged Acknowledgement, brought suit
against McKissick for SIS, 600 damages
and has attached property near Ham
burg to cover that amount.

Chicago, Aug. 25.-Silver Halfark,

over for another nap. That the circum-
stance was not a dream. but awful re-

blade at his throat. Halfark 1eaped out
of bed and grappled with the disturber
of his rest.
During the struggle he succeeded IN
wrestling the razor from the intruder,
but received a cash on his right jaw.
When the weapon changed hands, 1t
put a different phase to the affair for
HaIfark's assailant and he decamped.
He was recognized by Halfark, how
ever. as Jeff Harrison, a boarder in the
same house. with whom he had for
month been on bad terms, and an hour
later Sergeant Cronin placed Harrison
under arrest, after a desperate strug-
gle with the negro.

SHOT AT SKATER.
Colonel Sem Defends U. S. Medical
Experimentation One Blundered.

New York, Aug. 25-"Current critic
ismS upon the medical department of
the army in connection with it's work
at Santiago de Cuba are untimely and
unjust" said Lieutenant Colonel Mich
Olas Sem, chief surgeon of the Operat-
ing staff on the hospital ship Relief. to-
day. Every one knows by this time
that some one blundered, and bIundered
more than once. Who it was I cannot
say, but I will say for the medical de-
partment that it did all that could be
expected of it under the circumstances,
and that it Overcame obstacles which
should never have been allowed to con-
front it, and which should have been re
moved by the general commanding in
stead of being entirely ignored by him.
1T is a matter of record that practi-
cally all of the suggestions made by the
surgeons with Gen. Skaters army were
disregarded until Gen. Miles arrived
from Washington. For instance, the
moment arrived at SihOney and saw
the filthy, sicxly refugees 1ounging
about the general hospital In communi-
cation with our soldiers, then suffering
slight attacks of fever and other minor
ailments, I realized that unless some
thing were done at once untold harm
would result. I dispatched a messen-
ger to Gen. Shafter at once, asking him
to assign a company of infantry to the
hospital to drive out the refugees and
to keep our sick separated from them.
This request was refused. The next day
Col Greenleaf demanded a battalion of
infantry for the same purpose.
Gen. Shafter sent back word that he
needed all his men and that we must
look after the hospital ourselves. When
Gen. Miles arrived he gave US a whole
regiment and the camp was cleared, but
too late; the damage had been done.
Another trouble was those filthy
buildings at Siboney,in which our troops
were quartered. Seemingly the dirtiest
one was selected for the postoffice and
in a short time the postmaster was
stricken with the fever and died. No
one knows the extent of the damage
out of those buildings, yet our requests
to have them burned were ignored by
Gen. Shafter. and they were not de-
stroyed until Gen. Miles landed and
saw the conditions which we were fore
ed to confront Gen. Shafter was in al
together too much of a hurry

PLAYERS ORGANIZE.
Getting Together to Protect Them
selves Against the Magnates.

New York, Aug. 25.-Two or three
times during the present base ball sea-
son it has been limited that the players
of the National League were about to
organize an association similar to the
brotherhood that passed out of exist
ence in 1890.
One ofthe most prominent players of
the league says that a canvass has
been made among the older players of
the organization, and that a decision
has been reached to go ahead and per-
feet a players organization. The ac-
ton of the board of directors in the
F'reedman-HOlmes controversy has
done more than anything else to precip-
ftate a final decision upon the part of
the players.
The object of the new association will
not be to establish a new league and
invite another financial war but to pro-
tect the interests of the players against
unwarranted fines on the part of the
magnates. The course adopted will be
simple enough, being nothing more nor
less than an appeal to the civil courts.
As there is considerable doubt that the
present form of league contract will
stand legal test, and as the arbitrary
methods of punishment in vogue in the
league would not be upheld by justice
it is apparent the players are not likely
to make it comfortable If they go
ahead.

THREW SHERIFF OUT.
