 The Germans are still following poli- y of extermination,'' says dispatch to The Standard from Tien-tsin, dated yes erday. "A German force has just re armed from an expedition against Gen .ral Aei at Tsan-c -chou-fu, on the Grand anal, after routing his troops, plunder- ng his baggage and, releasing some dam ;erous Boxer prisoners he had taken. These proceedings are regrettable, as General NIe has all along been active in mppressing the Boxers and defying the impress dowager.'
 The Times publishes the following from Tokyo, dated Dec. 13:
 "Japan's policy in China appears to be sssed equally on popular sentiment and political e1pediency., The barbarous be- iavior of the Russians, especially the .troclouS treatment of women and chil- lren, amply confirmed from other sources, las produced intense disgust, which is enhanced by the silence of western public opinion in contrast with the severity of western comment upon Japan's action at Port Arthur six years ago. Hence there S distinct reaction here in favor of eniency toward the Chinese.
 'Ihe greatest stress is laid on secur- Ing the earliest possible return of the Chinese court to Peking"

 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.--One ot the most severe storms that ever visited San Francisco broke over the city at an early hour vest crday and ragged in itfu, gusts, rain and wind sweeping over the city with unusual violence, accompanied by thunder and forked lightning, q rathe er unusual occurrence in this city. At one time rain fell in such torrents that many thought a cloudburst imminent. Dur ing the height of the storm several houses were overturned by the wind, fences blown down and other damage done. One of the great receiving tanks of the San Francisco Gas and Electric company was struck by lightning, the gas taking fire. No one was hurt in the explosion, but the tank was completely demolished
 During the storm this city was entirely cut off from telegraphic communication with the rest of the world, the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies losing every wire out of San Francisco The damage to telegraph wires is being repaired rapidly. Only partial service is yet being given by the companies. Much damage to wires was caused by the blowing down of about 100 poles on the Oakland side of the bay. Some damage was done i'll the mountains, but nothing definite can be stated as to its extent. The telephone company also lost many of its long distance wires.
 So far no marine disasters of any mo- ment have been reported. On the bay several boats were capsized, but no one was drowned so far as is known. Sev- eral vessels dragged their anchors, but no damage is reported. Reports from points at short distances from San Fran cisco tell of much damage by the storm TD...1 l
 in many sections, chimneys blown down and other damage done, but so far no fatalities have been reported. The storm ceased almost entirely at noon.

How viii You Bet 2

An amusing bet, and one in which
the largest odds were offered and tax,
en-, was made at Wiliamstown ON Sat
urday night. A prominent Republi-
can wagered a we'll known Democrat
300 pound dressed beef against a tur-
key that Mckinley would be elected at
the contest in November. The loser
agrees to dressthe fowl or the beef,
as the case may be, and deliver same
at the miners house. We never make
many predictions, but we believe that
the turkey will be the Republican S
meat"
A well known attorney of this city
and an equally prominent oculist, both
of whom have offices in Putnam
street building, made bet of $40 a
side on the result of the Congressional
election this fall. The Democrat bet
that H. C. VanVoorhis would not car
ry the district by 1900 majority. The
Republican bet that the district would
elect Mr.. VanVoorhis by that major
ity.

A Beautiful Play.

James A. Hernes beautiful play,
Shore Acres" was presented to a
crowded house Monday night. The
story of the old play needs not be re-
counted to Marietta theatre goers, nor
need the beautiful sentiments and
emotions which the play expresses and
inculcates be dwelt on. Suffice it to
say that no man or woman ever saw
Shore Acres" but that he or she was
the better for it, morally, physically
and mentally. The troupe which pre-
sented the play last night was very
strong, in fact the acting was the best
and most unconscious ever seen in Ma
rietta. The scenes and characters
were presented with a startling real
ism and fidelity to real life. Manager
Luchs is certainly to be commended
for the play and the company which
the large audience witnessed last
night.
