The following story illustrates the
late Archibald Forbes cleverness In
getting his news reports In ahead Of
his fellow correspondents:
Here IL a little scene: Time, near
midnight, after n hard days work.
Everybody done up. Hello, Jones'"
says Smith. There's Forbes already
asleep. like brass" by Jove. yes"
quoth Jones 0nciplent snore from
Forbes. ut would take ten horses
TO wake him up. I'll turn In" says
Jones. "Time enough to get our stun
on tomorrow, chr fright you are"
responds Smith.
In ten minutes the wearied warrior
scribes are dead asleep. Forbes rises
cautiously, passing out like ghost,
sits him down In hidden corner with
the stump OF tallow candle, writes
like a whirlwind for couple Of hours.
finishes with the last flicker OF his
dip, saddles u horse, on he goes heller
skelter across the country, gallops for
an hour, delivers his letter, gallops
back. IL In bed by 4, sleeps this time
"like brass" and no mistake.
Hello, lazy bones" eIclaims Smith
at 7 a. m, shaking the sleeper. Thine

are you up tor quoth Forbes drowslly,

on" "The devil you arel Why hur-
ry2 Let's have another snooze."
At last Smith and Jones get their
stun OF and In three days discover to
their bepuzzlement that they were "A
hours behindhand. Very provoking
to Smith and Jones. But II Forbes
had been the victim Of the little ruse
he would have been the first to laugh
over II and TO congratulate his sue
cessful competitor.

SAVE THE Chill DREM.
NOMINATIONS GO BEGGING.
No One Will Accept Democratic
Township Nominations at Charlton.

Charlton, July 14.-In response to
call for caucus of the democrats of
Charlton township to nominate town
ship officers, and select delegates to
attend the county convention yester-
day just twenty-five tried and true
worshippers at the shrine of "Boss
Bryan and 16 to 1" responded. Hon
j. A. Penick was made chairman Of
the caucus and Ed. P. Lorimer secre-
tary. When the chairman called for
nominations for justice of the peace
the enthusiasm was so great that a
person could hear a pin drop. After
vainly waiting for the suggestion of a
a lamb for the slaughter" he called
for nominations for constables. The
same death-like silence greeted this
call. Finally Walter H. Dewey sum-
moned up enough courage to move
that the nominations for township Of
fiers be postponed until the first Fri
day in September. This will give the
leaders time in which to look around
and tell some poor victims that Mr..
Bryan wishes full ticket in every
township, which suggestion will be
sufficient to induce them to allow
their names to be used. Having thus
disposed of the nomination question
they proceeded to select delegates to
the county convention today. This
township is entitled to but eighteen
delegates but in order to not disap-
point any of the rank and file whose
idea of loyalty to the party brought
them to this lively caucus a motion
was made and carried that every man
in the room, twenty-five in number be
declared the delegates with the eigh-
teen votes divided between them and
those present cast the entire eighteen
votes.

rapidly. Heart failure was the cause
of his death. His death is a painful
surprise to both his friends in the
national capital and in his home state
and city. To none was the shock
greater than to relatives and intimate
friends as his health has been very
good the last several months. Sew
eral letters, either written or dictated
by Senator Gear personally were re-
ceived by various Burlington people
yesterday. These communications
contained the Information that Sena-
tor and Mrs. Gear intended to start
for their Burlington home tonight and
would arrive Monday for the summer.
Senator Gear was attended during his
last moments by Mrs. Gear, Colonel
r. Root of Keokuk, his physicians,and
a few Washington friends.

Death of Senator Gear.

The announcement of the death of
Senator John HI. Gear at Washington,
ID. o., this morning comes as a per-
sonal grief to many thousands of the
citizens of Iowa. There is probably
no man in the state who had wider
and more cordial personal acquain-
lance than Senator Gear. Those who
knew him but casually admired and re-
spected him most sincerely. Those
who knew him well loved him with a
true and unusual devotion. Senator
Gear at the time of his death was rs
years of age. The term in the senate
to which he was first elected does not
expire until the first of ncxt March,
The second term to which he was
elected by the last legislature begins
on that date and continues for six
years. 1t will be the duty of the gov
ernor of Iowa to appoint his successor
who will serve only until the meeting
OF the legislature one year from next
January.
Senator Gear had remarkable if
not phenomenal career. He came to
Iowa in 1843, three years before it's
admission to the union, and has been
a citizen of the Hawkeye state for fif-
ty-siX years. He was mayor of Bur-
lington, his adopted city, three times;
a member of the general assembly,
twice speaker, governor for two terms,
member of the United States house of
representatives three times, assistant
secretary of the treasury under Pres
'ident Harrison, and elected United
States senator for two terms.
l.; - L.
closer to the 5hearts of the people than
John HI. Gear. interviewer with the
warp and wool of Iowa's Lire are his
untarnished name and public services.
Few public men have recognized as
did Senator Gear the real nature of
public Office, it's relation of service to
+all the people, it's representatives OBJ
legations to the people who create and
maintain public Office.
AS representative in the state legis-
lature, as governor, as congressman,
as United States senator, Senator
Gear was the same unassuming friend
of the people of Iowa. With his ear
ever ready to listen to their wants and
serve their interest, no Iowan, how
ever humble, ever hesitated to ap-
proach Senator Gear. No man in the
service of the state has ever been
no man has ever as cheerfully, per-
sistently and successfully labored to
secure the favors sought.
Iowa never had in either house a
representative more closely in touch
with the business interests of the
state. Trained in the minutia of bust
ness life, familiar with the every day
affairs of men. uninfluenced by vague
and plausible theories, direct and prac-
teal, his service as legislator, has
been of the highest order and great
est safety He has not faltered in the
face of impractical theories or swerved
from course of plain common sense
and common honesty in his service at
Washington.

Horrible Fate Of M DeGiers, Russian
Minister at Pekinu.

Horrible Fate of M, DeGiers, Russian
Minister at Picking.
Chicago, July IA dispatch to the
Record from st. Petersburg. dated Jul
ly IL, via Paris, July IA, says: The
car received with great emotion the
dreadful details of catastrophe at
Picking.
Tears coursed down his majesty's
cheeks as he read the cablegram from
Admiral Alexieff at Port Arthur con-
firming the horrible details of the as
sassination of M. DeGiers, of which
merely rumors had already reached
Russia
The admiral declares the Russian
envoy was dragged thru the streets
by the Boxers, insulted, beaten, tor
tured and even thrown Into a great
kettle and boiled to death.
Then the remains were thrown to
the dogs.
While M. DeGiers was being dis
posed of a fanatic mob danced around
the caldron.
Nine. DeGiers suffered fate worse
than death and was beaten and tor
tured with sharp sticks until life was
extinct.
The legation officials are said to
have been tortured fiendishly until
death ended their suering.
M. DeGiers and his legation of Off
Gals resisted desperately and his
brave body guard killed many of the
attacking mob.
In the midst of his tortures the en-
voy is said to have heroically pro-
claimed his faith in Christianity, en-
,couraged by his wife, who soon shar-
ed his martyrdom.
Immediately upon receipt of Alexi-
eff's dispatch the czar ordered the
cabinet and council of state to go into
session at once.
News Not Discredted.
Washington, July 14.-The Russian
embassy has received no information
of the killing Of the Russian minis
ter at Picking. Officials do not discred-
it it but say that the Russians are I'M
der the same disadvantage as the
other powers in getting telegraphic
information from Picking. They think
that if this proves true it will en-
tirely and very seriously alter the
whole situation.

WALSH ON THE CAMPAIGN.
Secretary Says Bryan Must Gain 4s
Electors Over 1896,

Chicago, July 14.-'Immediately af-
ter securing headquarters the demo-
cratic national committee will open
the campaign full blast" So said
Secretary Walsh yesterday in reply
to the questions of several callers
from western states. He explained
that to land Byran in the white house
he must get the votes of forty-eight
electors more than he did in 1896.
Just where they are to come from
is the one question above all others
that concerns the committee. Mr..
Walsh is authority for the statement
that they count upon carrying Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland, Delaware and
West Virginia, having total Of for
ty-five electors. Conceding to him
every state he carried four years ago
and the five named he would still be
three short of enough. Hop is based
on Michigan making up this deficiency.

TO TRY PROOF.
Secretary Hay Will Test Sincerity Of
Chinese,


Washington, July 13.-Chinese Min
lister WI has undertaken to get thru
a cipher cable message from Secre-
tary Hay to Minister Conger at Pc
king and have the answer brought
back if Conger is alive. The mes
sage was prepared by Hay and it's
contents are unknown to anyone save
him. 1t was sent to Shanghai with
explicit directions from WI to spare
no efforts or expense to get it into
the hands of Conger.
Makes demand on China.
Washington, D. c., July 13.-Secre-
tary Hay has demanded of the Chinese
government that the state department
be put in communication with Minis
ter Conger at Picking without delay.
This demand, which is rather
strong word to use in this connection,
was made upon Mr.. WI, the Chinese
minister in Washington, who has no
doubt laid the matter before his gov
eminent in round about way thru
Sheng, the director of the Chinese tele-
graph system.
Secretary Hay has grown impatient
at the delay in hearing from an anthem
tic source the truth about the condi-
lions in Picking especially in regard to
Minister Conger.
Paris Paper Gives Up Hope.
Paris, July 13.-Temps announces
this evening that it is in position to
offirm that, contrary to statements
from various sources, no European
telegram has been received from Pc.
king since Sir Robert Harris dispatch
of June "a, declaring the situation
was desperate. Temps says if it is
proved that the legations are safe
they could communicate with Europe.
If they cannot 1t is because the Chi
nese have juggled the date of the
massacre which took place as an
nounced on June 80 or July l.

A SHANGHAI STORY.
To Be Accepted, with Reservations,
Until Confirmed.

Until Confirmed.
London, July 13.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Mail says
the following story regarding the po-
sition in Pekin emanated from Chi
nese official sources: rs
The two remaining legations, the
British and Russian, were attacked in
force on the evening of July 6, Prince
Tuan being in command. The attack
ers were divided. Prince Tuan COM
manded the center, the right wing
was led by Prince Tsai Yin, and the
left by Prince Tsin Yu. The attack
commenced with artillery fighting
which was severe and lasted until Z
o'clock in the morning, by which time
both legations were destroyed and all
the foreigners were dead, while the
streets around the legations were full
of the dead bodies of both foreigners
and Chinese. Upon hearing of the at
tack, Prince Ching and General Wang
Wen Shao went with troops to the as
sistance of the foreigners, but they
were outnumbered and defeated. Both
Prince Ching and General Wang Wen
Shao were killed. Two foreigners are
said to have escaped thru the gates,
one with a heavy sword wound in the
head. Prince Tuan, in celebration of
the victory, distributed 10000 taels
and huge quantities of rice to the
Boxers.
A Vail of Silence.
London, July 13.-A terrible veil of
silence enshrouds Picking, and there is
nobody but believes the worst has hap
pened. 1t is taken for granted that all
means to get direct news from their
legations, and the fact that their eff
forts have been vain leaves but one
Interpretation. The Chinese represen-
tative in Berlin denies che statement
that Ii Hung Chang sent to him a
hopeful telegram. He says that on the
contrary, no direct telegram has been
received by him from Lii Hung Chang
for some time past.
Rebels Said to Have Met Defeat.

Says Massacre Occurred July 6.
London, July ia news agency
says an official message that has been
received in London states that all the
foreigners in Picking were murdered
July 6.
Report Not Corroborated.
London, July 13.-Up to late hour
this afternoon neither the foreign Of
flee nor the embassies had anything
collaborating the report sent out by
a news agency early today regarding
the massacre of foreigners in Peking
on July 6. Official circles regard the
statement as a simple reiteration of
former rumors to the same effect.
This afternoon Salisbury presided at
a lengthy cabinet meeting at which
it is understood important decisions
regarding China were reached. Al
ready instructions have been sent to
Simla to prepare another division of
artillery for Chinese service.
