Mo Summon at Pekin.

The citizens Of Berryyille and vi
cinity are deeply interested in the
situation at Pekin, China. This in
terest is due to the presence there of
DR.. Thomas NJ. Lippitt, son of DIR.
c. f. Lippitt of this county.
DR.. I.ippitt was commissioned an
assistant surgeon in the Navy June
27th, 1898, and served on the hospi-
tai ship Solace during the Spanish
war. After the war he was attached
to the flag ship Baltimore on the
Asiatic station, and has since served
on the Oregon, and then on the
Newark, going to Taku with the
marine detachment aooard her.
From Taku DR.. Lippitt went to
Pekin, where a large force of rebels
Is now besieging the legations, where
the Doctor is located. Latest reports
are very encouraging, a telegram has
been received from acting consul
general Warren, at Shanghai, in Lon
don, confirming from an absolutely
trustworthy source. the news re
ceived by courier from Pekin. July
3rd, sayin G the legations were. the
day the courier left, holding out
against the Chinese.
Mr.. Warren adds the Chinese were
much disheartened by their losses.
and that the Boxes disturbing
element and cause of all the trouble.
claim their mystic powers have
been broken by the foreigners, and
they dare not approach the legations.
rs this information comes from an
absolutely responsible source. il is
very comforting. The forces at the
legations will be able to hold out for
sometime, rs they have both food
and ammunition. In the meanwhile
the Japanese Government, which
knows best how to handle the Chinese
fanatics, is rushing troops to the
rescue.

Fine Crop Prospects.

The recent rains have made the crops
in Kansas present an appearance o.
prosperity. Without doubt we have
the finest prospect for wheat thi'
State presented at this time Of yeaI
for good many years. Many old set
tiers say there never was such a pros
pect, and II is not confined to any To-
callty. The whole State is about the
same. One who has much experience
in the line says the principal danger
to wheat now in this section ID from
chinch bugs. He says they winter and
breed in the trash and grass in and
close to the field, lie therefore sug-
gests that 1t would be a good plan to
burn off strip all the way round next
to the fields in hope of destroying the
pests OF course rs long as this wet
weather last the chinch bugs will be in
hard straits.

An Arm twisted off.

An awful accident occurred at the
American Steam Laundry at 5:l5 Mon
day afternoon. A young man twenty
four years Of age who had been teach
Ing school, Mr. j, f, Nc mullen Of near
Butler hired only three or four days be-
fore to learn the business, Tb
wringing Of cloths in the laundry Is
done by two centrifugal machines as
large as half Of a small barrel. Inside
the stationery shell Ia n sort of pelfor-
ated basin which revolves at the rate
of 400 revolutions per minute, The
centrifugal force il so great that any
thing throw into this when In motion
Is quickly caught and thrown against
the side with great force. In few
minutes the water is all thrown out Of
the clothes through the perforated
sides. Mr.. MCMullen in some way
got his hand into the machine, 1t
picked him up and threw him bodily
over the machine onto the floor.
When Others seeing the trouble Camel
his hand and arm up to the elbow
was laying inside the wrinser,
and be was laying da2ed against the
belt, HIS arm had been twisted Off
at the elbow almost in the twinkling
of an eye, How he got caught is
something Of mystery but it is prob
able that he got his hand in where
the centrifugal force caught it and
pressed IL to the side of the revolving
part Of the machine.
The unfortunate man showed great
nerve and was much more self'poss-
essed than many who we're not hurt.
Don't cough your head off when you
can stop 1t for Csc. See the Midland
Drug Co, They have the remedy.

A peplorable Case Of Depravlty

A Deplorable Case of Depravlty.
A few days ago y woman of good
size and fairly we'll dressed arrived in
town from Kansas City, She went to
the Brunswick where it seems she
agreed 10 60 to work, After going to
room she called up a colored porter
and ask him to get some whiskey for
her, He demurred and she proceeded
to do q job of pulYerizlng. The porter
got the worst Of 1t until he got his
hand on the call bell and brought an
mother man to bis assistance. They
drove her away from the Brunswick
and she put up ut Streeters. The of
hcers were called in to take care of her
and they took her before the county
commissioners who remanded her
to their charge until disposed Of
They took her back to Streeters and
fastened her In q room She kicked
the door down, tore off the knobs and
fixtures. When in the county clerk s
office she used the vilest and most OBJ
scene language, and two large sized
gobs Of tobacco juice left their rrails
out of each side Of her mouth. That
she was crazy goes without saying but
1t appears to have been only caused by
whiskey, opium and other drugs. lit
was las she stood there her hair strecked
With gray in this dtug-made fury of in
sanity disgusting and yet pitiable
sight. Who would have ever thought
she was once some ones darling and
may now be some ones mother, Or
sister? Alas the sin Of this world
