London, July 3.-This comes from

the report of the butchery of Baron
Won Kette1er, the German minister, on
June Is. The ambassador was riding

His body was hacked to pieces with
swords. The German legation and six
other buildings were burned and a
number of servants of the legations
were killed and their bodies thrown
into the flames. The consuls entertain
little hope that any foreigners are
alive in the capital. There were 100
foreigners connected with the lega-
tions, fifty in the customs house, Eng
ish and American tourists and others
to the number of $50, and nearly 500
legation guards.

Back Taxes Being Paid.

Topeka, June 3O.-Within the past
year the back tax account held by the
state against the various counties has
been whetted down over so per cent.
One year ago the counties were in,
debted to the state to the amount of
100000. Today they only owe the
state SIS, 900. This will be cleaned up
before the end of the present taxpay-
ing year. There was time when the
farmers and others could not pay their
taxes promptly for lack of funds, but
that time has passed now. Taxes are
being paid more promptly than ever
and the old back taxes are being
squared up. The taxpayers have al
ready paid in a large per cent of the
remaining taxes due the state, but the
county treasurers have not yet ae-
counted to the state treasury.
