SelR-RespeCt,

We agree with the Eastern editor who
says that "The greatest trial to self-re-
spect is, having to be courteous to the
discourteous, amiable to the unamiable.
generous to the mean-minded, for one Of
the strongest bad instincts in human ma
ture is the instinct OF retaliation. It is a
fiery, revengeful steed, requiring the
strong curb Of seh-respect, which, after
all, is but the worldly word for a very
heavenly motto: do unto others as you
would they should do unto you" Self
respect sometimes seems contradictory
grace where it means the apparent abase-
ment Of self; but remember, abasement
Is not debasement, as it is often wrongly
translated. AS matter of fact, there are
occasions when abasement is the highest
form Of self-respect, Of elevation.

The Missouri Hereford Sale.

The writer takes pleasure in calling the
attention of those interested in good Here
fords to the public sale announced else
where in this issue by Messrs. NJ n.
MOsher & Son. Salisbury, Mo-, II. c. Tay-
lor Son, Roanoke, Mo-, and ]. F. Sum-
mers & Sons, Huntsville, Mo. All three
of these firms have been engaged in breed
Ing improved and registered live stock for
more than ten years and they take pride
in announcing that they will each consign
20 head Of BULLS, cows and heifers, making
an aggregate Of 60 as we'll bred animals as
can be found in all the West. The writer
paid late visit at the three several farms
and found the sale offerings, while not up In
show yard dress, were in that condition
that insures future usefulness. There will
be several imported COWS. On an inspection
Of the tabulated pedigrees found in the sale
catalogue one finds that The Grove 3D.,
Lord Wilton and Anxiety blood largely
predominates and Is commingled In the
way that makes the breeding of the sale
animals very desirable. A major portion Of
the females in expectancy have been bred
Earl of Walnut Hill 5S997, Prince Grove
I'd 5OO67 or Norwood Chief 7OSl4. The bull
Venture 54S5l headed the young herd shown
by Mr.. Van Malta at the Worlds Fair and
won second prize. The champion cow,
Anabel 49161, at the Worlds Fair, Is half
sister to Venture. Venture has not been out
for show ring hOnOrs in recent years, but
some of his sons and daughters, grandsons
and granddaughters have made him inter"
esting white-face history. Among them Is
60942 that did so much good at the noted
the great show and breeding bull, Climax
Sunny Slope farm and was sold last De-
Cember at the Cross sale for $500. Climax
4th 7l03l, the champion bull calf in 1897-a
show bull in lS98-was purchased by Mr..
X. B. Armour to use in his great herd, at a
cost of 81 OPS. Here, then, is both son and
grandson of Venture that have achieved a
national reputation. There are others, but
space forbids their mention at this time.
The Earl of Walnut Hill 5S997 Is a grandson
of Cherry Boy 26495, and Roscoe 16509, he
son of Anxiety 4th 1904; a combination of
blood the equal of any in Hereford lore.
In Prince Grove I'd 50067 one finds both
an individuality and breeding hard to be
had at this time. His two grandsires were
The Grove Sd 2490 and Anxiety 9Th 294S. The
two granddams, Glover 2115 and Browny
Fairy 404S, are daughters Of Sir Richard I'd
$40 and Remus 1851. His individuality at
glance confirms him as up-to-date beef an
tmal. His style and carriage, too, cannot
well be excelled and best Of all, his sons
and daughters are sure extra good ones
that confirm him very excellent breeder
This sale will be held at Salisbury, Chari-
ton County Missouri, under cover, so that
lnclement weather will not interfere with
the progress Of SALE Salisbury is on the
main line Of the Wabash railway, and par
ties can easily reach 1t from all points,

parture Of all trains. Write either of the |

NEARLY A FIGHT.
Great Britain Lands Some Bluejaca cts in
China to Protect Some Of Her Sub
iects' Rights from Russia.

Shanghai, Aug. 2S.-As the outcome
OF dispute regarding the ownership
OF some lands at Hankow, on the Yang
Use kiang, about 700 miles from the
sea, which were purchased in 1858 by
the concern of Jardine, Matheson &
Co., but were subsequent included in
the new concessions to Russia, the
owners, under the advice and protec-
tion OF Mr.. Hurst, the British consul,
sent workmen to fence in the tract.
After the work was begun dozen Cos
sacks from the Russian consulate ap-
peared on the scene and forcibly elected
the workmen.
The captain of the second-class gun
boat Woodlark, specially designed fol
river service, after consulting with Mr..
Hurst, landed a party of bluejackets
and moved the Woodlark within firing
distance of the Russian consulate. For
a time fight seemed imminent but
nothing further occurred. The blue
jackets are now guarding the property.
The British third.class gunboat Esk
has been dispatched to Hankow from
this port. Great Britain is evidently
determined to uphold British rights.

THE DREYFUS TRIAL.
The Military Clique Striving Their Hardest
to Keep Col. Du Patty de Clam Out
Of M. LabOris Clutches.

Rennes, Aug. oS.--"Dead men tell no
tales" This is the barricade behind
which Gen. MERCER and the general
staff have intrenched themselves in the
Dreyfus court-martial. But there is
one weak point in their defense-Col.
Du Patty de Clam, and the military
clique kind w it and are striving to the
utmost to keep him out of M. Labori's
clutches If they can prevent Du Patty
de Clam, who is now called the "sick
man of the Dreyfus affair" from ap-
pearing at the witness bar, they can
effectually put the silence of the tomb
between truth and justice. M. Labor
is lighting tooth and nail to drag him
into court, but Col. Jouaust persists in
refusing him the necessary assistance.
lie declines to send reputable doctors
to report on the state of Du Patty de
CLAIMS health, which every Dreyfusard
firmly believes to be only diplomatical-
ly affected and that he will recover
quickly enough after the trial. Satur-
days session tore the last shred of
credit from MERCER, but added the
name of Freystaetter to the little roll
OF heroes who have risked everything
in the defense of Dreyfus.

rather quietly, nothing ofspecial note
transpiring to make the day materially
different from rest day at their Wash

dent was driven to Christ M. Z. church.

British troops will be Immediately con-
centrated at Laing's Mex and Ma

LIVES CRUSHED OUT.
Twelve Steel Arches Fall at the
Coliseum at Chicago.
NINE PERSONS KILLEDBY The WRECK
Seven Other Men Are In the Hospital and
Several Of Them VIII Dle-A State
ment by the Supervisor
Of the Erection,

Chicago, Aug. 29.-Twelve stee
arches, each weighing SO tons, whicl
were to have supported the superstruc
ture of the Coliseum building, in cours,
of erection on Wabash avenue, between
Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, fell t.
the ground late yesterday afternoon
1t is known that six lives were crushed
out. The bodies of three men are Sup
posed to be under the wreckage. Sever
are in the hospital with injuries re-
ceived in the accident and of these two
will surely die, one may possibly re.
cover and the balance are for the
greater part seriously injured. The
dead are: Charles Walpot Edward
Murray, Rank Logan, Stephen J.
Thompson, John Farrey, Richard Sher-
man, Theodore Thorn, Leroy Fenner
and Al Norman.
Edward G. Shankland, the head of
the firm Of Il. G. and h. M. Shankland,
the designers and supervisors of the
erection of the Coliseum, and the chief
engineer of the Worlds Columbia ex-
position, last night made the following
statement Twelve arches, all the
arches Of the Coliseum, under construc-
ton, were up, the last one being placed
in position Saturday, and yesterday
the traveller was being taken down.
The longitudinal purlieus and the
diagonal braces at the south end were
in place, but nonej of the sub-purlieus
had been put in position, nor had the
diagonal bracing between the two
north arches been connected up.
Had this been done before the trav-
eller had been taken down the
accident would not have happened.
The accident is one that may always
happen during the erection Of the steel
work and before the roof purlieus and
bracing are in place. The three-hinged
arch used in the Coliseum is the same
as that used by the Pennsylvania rail-
road in It's stations at Jersey City and
Broad street, Philadelphia; by the
Philadelphia & Reading railroad in Its
Philadelphia stations, and by me in the
first regiment armory, Sixteenth street,
and in the manufacturers and liberal
arts building at the worlds fair. 1t is
used in roof trusses of this
and large spans The management has
decided to at once replace the arches
and proceed with the immediate COM
oletion Of the building and have it
ready for the national convention next
The loss will not exceed
s25, 900. The worst feature of the acct
lent was the loss Of life"

WELLMAN'S EXPEDITION.
The Arctic Explorer Arrives In England
and Is Interviewed About His Ex.
perlences In the Frozen North.

Hull, Eng, Aug. s9.-Walter Well
man, the leader of the Wellman Polar
expedition, who returned to Tromsoe,
Norway, August II, after having sue
cessfully completed operations in Franz
Josef Land, arrived here yesterday.
He walks with the aid of crutches, his
right leg, which was seriously injured
by fall in a snow covered crevasse,
while Mr.. Wellman was leading his
party, still being useless The explorer
was accompanied by the American
members of the expedition, who are
well.
In an interview with representa-
tive of the Associated press, Mr.. Well
man said: "The object of the expedi-
ton was two-fold-to complete explora-
ton of Franz Josef land of which the
north and northeast parts were practi-
cally unknown, and to reach a high
latitude, or even the pole itself. The
first object was successfully accomp-
lished. The second would have been
achieved, at least to u greater extent
than by previous explorers, but for the
accident to myself"
Mr.. Wellman recounted the starting
of the expedition from Tromsoe, June
49, 1893, how it reached Emwood. the
headquarters of the Jackson expedi-
ton, July 2S, and hoisted there the
stars and stripes underneath the Union
Jack, which had been flying over the
deserted settlement for nearly two
years. The provisions left for Prof.
Andree, the missing aeronaut, were
found by Mr. Wellman untouched.
A fairly complete survey of the
archipelago has been prepared by Mr..
Wellman and his party. They all show
traces of hardship. The faces are pale
and drawn, and Wellman is much
thinner than formally. On board the
Eldorado the Norwegian mail boat
which brought the party from Bergen
to Hull, Mr.. Wellman was the center
of attraction, and on arriving at Hull
the passengers gave him a cordial send
OFF, The party proceeded Immediately
to London, where they arrived in the
afternoon.
