C0L0RED PREACHER KILLED
At MaryvilIe. Missouri, While Resist
ing Arrest-MA Feared LYnehIng

bnk ACEcSL-AhO EeoEcU
Maryville. NO., Aug. so.-Rev. William
Johnston, former pastor Of the African
Baptist church of Maryville, and even
gelist of the Colored Baptist church OF
Kansas and Missouri, was killed at s
o'clock this evening by officer John Wal
lace, while resisting an attempt to take
him to jail. Johnston was convicted this
afternoon of having made indecent pro-
posals on Monday to Mrs. Alice barton,
a respectable white woman. and was SEN
fenced to nine months in the Nodaway
county jail. He made a gun play on Con-
stable Noah jennings this morning, while
trying to get away and was disarmed.
1t developed that he had another gun,
however. There was some talk of lynch
ing him last night, and he was scared
and desperate. When he came down
stairs from court this evening a cruious
crowd was standing at the bottom of the
stairs. On reaching the bottom of the
stairway he began to back away from the
officers with his hand on his pistol pock-
ct, declaring that he would rather die
right there than go to jail and be lynch
ed. Officer Wallace presented his pistol
and told him he must come. The negro
drew his pistol so far from his pocket
that 1t caught in his belt and the officer
Immediately fired. Johnston started to
run and Constable Jennings fired after
him. The negro had trouble in getting
holdof his pistol and he turned and fired
twice on his pursuers. He started to run
again but fell dead in front of the Real
Estate bank.
Johnston is the colored man who Gre
ated much comment by saying. short
time ago, at a meeting of negro preach
ers in Leavenworth, Kan, that the ne
groes must organize arm and kill those
who lynch their brethren.
Officer Wallace has not been arrested.
Maryville negroes are very bitter tonight
and threaten to get revenge.

BIG CENTRAL ARCH
Beautiful Architecture Marks
Entrance at University.
WORK ABOUT COMPLETE
Grand Preparation for Open
ing Day Sept IL.

When the students arrive at the
Friends University for the beginning OF
the fall term, which opens September u,
they will enter the magnificent building
through the large. newly finished east
entrance, one of the prettiest pieces Of
| stone architecture in Kansas. While the
University building has been in use for
several years, It had never been finished
as far south as this main entrance, and
the real beauty of the building has not
heretofore been noticed by the public CT
the students who have been in attend
ance at the University. During the SUN.
mer vacation the work OF remodeling the
building and finishing the unfinished
part as far south and including the main
entrance has been going on and is now
about completed. The immense Railways
and the audience room on the west, the
presidents room on the right of the main
entrance, and the young peoples society
room on the left Of the main entrance,
and the spacious corridors are being fin
ished with the best quality OF hard pine
in oil, and plastered with the famous
Blackwell agatite cement plaster, which
is almost as hard as stone. This cement
will be covered with a coat of plaster
paris, giving the interior of the building
cleanly appearance.
A platform is being erected at the bot
tom of the stone steps leading up to the
main entrance facing University avenue.
The entrance is arched with stone chisel-
ed into the most beautiful figures, in
Guiding numerous classic faces, serpents
and other designs common to the sculp-
tors art. In the north side Of the en-
trance is the handsome granite Garfield
memorial plate. Above the door is the
figure Of an owl standing as a guard
with an ever watChful eye upon those
who enter and emerge from the building.
From the cement floor of the entrance to
the dome of the archway is thirty feet OF
space.
Mr.. ]. N. Howard, who has charge of
the work in the building, said yesterday
that he did not think the building would
be completed in time for the opening day,
September Il, but that it would be in
readiness to receive the annual confer |
ence of the Friends church, to be held |
here about the first of October.
The indications are that the attendance |
for the next year will be considerably |
larger than last year, as the school Is |
growing in favor all the time. The fac |
ulty has been increased and includes some |
Of the leading educators of the state. A |
great deal of interest is being taken in
the preparation for the opening exercises
to be held in the new auditorium. Rev.
Martindale has been chosen to make the
opening address and a fine program has
been arranged. The students who arrive
on that day will-be received heartily and |
Will be initiated into the popular school
with one of the best programs of exer-
cises they have probably ever seen.

Quoted principally by the Agrarians.
and it is stated that the press is being

create public sentiment adverse TO all
American food articles. Especial at
tention is given to our beef and liberal
use is made of the testimony taken be-

Americans Without Money Should kesp
Out Of Philippines.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. with a
view to obtaining reliable information
regarding the agriculture and other
wealth producing possibilities of the
Philippines, The Call has interviewed a
large number Of Oregon volunteers.
whose long stay on the islands afforded
them excellent opportunities for observ-
alton. Most of the troops believe that
the land of the Philippines is we'll
adapted for American agriculture, with
the exception Of the cultivation of
wheat. but they add hat nearly all of
the agricultural land, and certainly the
best OF 1t, is in the possession of the
church authorities and would have to
be purchased by intending settlers.
The soldiers Of the Oregon regiment
are, almost to a man, in emphatic oppo.
sition even to the suggestion of making
natives of the Philippines citizens of the
United States. AS for Americans work.
ing in the Philippines the soldiers de-
clare that it is utterly u Of the oues-
ton. The heat is too intense and the
climate generally too e%nnervatiny. The
Philippines, they say, are the last lands
on earth for poor men % seek with a
purpose of improving their conditions.

ST. PAUL, Aug. A Duluth special
says five retail coal dealers in hat citv
have been driven out of business bv tho
decision of the coal dock companies to

is said to be due to peculiar conditions
that are likely to prove only temno-

the Northwest are to be forced
out OF business, not only in the
cities but at small stations. Heretofore
elevator agents or n have made a
neat little income in the handling of
coal, but that is to be cut off under the
new order of things. All the coal com.

Review Of work At The Hague.
ST.PETERSBURG, Aug. 4.-The Official
Messenger publishes a government COM
munique reviewing lengthlly the result
OF The Hague peace conference. After
referring to the sympathetic reception
the powers accorded the cars magnan-
lmous appeal for peace" it proceeds:
1.-The results OF the conference have
FULLY come up to the expectations Of the
government. 1t has been found neccs.
sary for the conference to postpone a
definite settlement of the complicated
question Of the suspension Of ornaments
until fully elucidated by the different
governments. Nevertheless, the light
enlng Of military burdens is already
admitted by unanimous resolution to be
urgently desirable for all nations. On
the other hand the labors of the confer
ence will doubtless exercise influence
upon the regulations and custom of
war and stopping cruelty. The various
states have agreed to use all their re-
sources in favor of the maintenance Of
peace and the abolition Of war. 1t is
now an established fact that mediation.
which hitherto depended on the good
will Of the states interested. can hence
forward be off cred by a third power on
its W initiative"
The communique concludes:
Without impairing the sovereign
rights OF the individual states, the re-
suits afford a fresh basis for interna-
tional peace. The necessity for a solu-
ton OF the cars proposals is admitted
by all the powers, and the march Of
events will indicate the means to be
employed in securing the welfare of
mankind and the full attainment of the
objects in view"

Marine Hospital OfIicials Run Down
william Thomas.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-The Marine
hospital officials at Hampton have sue
ceeded in tracing and locating the
former inmate of the soldiers's home
who is believed to have brought yellow
fever to the place. His name Is William
Thomas. He arrived at the home on a
transport from Santiago. where he had
been visiting between July 9 and 5 last.
He was admitted to the home as a vet
eran and shortly after developed chills
and fever. In the light of subsequent
vents the experts believe there is little
doubt that he was affected with a mild
case Of yellow fever. When well enough
to travel he left the home and his bag
gage was sent to Phoebus. The man
himself went to Columbus City, Wash.
where he now is.
Surgeon General Wyman regards it
as fortunate that Thomas went to such
a high latitude as it greatly lessons any
danger of infection.
