Shot His Father,

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 20.-James NJ.
Burnham, publisher of The Wymoran at
Wymora, Neb., shot and killed his father,
Captain Collins A. Burnham, at their
home. A coroner's jury exonerated the
son. Both father and son were prominent
political workers in the county in which
they reside. The killing was in self de
fense. The son gave himself up to the
officers. Captain Burnham was a cap
tain in the civil war and while congen-
ial man when sober he was fiend when
intoxicated. Many times he had threat,
ened to kill all members of his family.
The father came home yesterday morn
ing and made an assault upon his son.
He used a butcher knife, and after get,
ting his son in corner was in the act of
plunging the knife in his body. When
there was no other alternative, the son
drew revolver and fired a shot which
went through Captain Burnham's heart,
killing him instantly.

TOLD OF CONGER.
How the Minister to China Obtained
Missionary's Release.

Missionary's Release.
The story is told of Chinese man
DARN who early learned that Edwin II.
Conger, the American minister to Chi
ma, was not to be baked or bluffed
says the Chicago Record. A mission
ary of the American Bible society, duly
provided with passports and creden-
tials, was stopped by the officials and
held in the military quarters ON some
paltry trumped up charge. The mis-
sionary sent word to Minister Conger
and the minister went in person to see
about it. When he learned the trivial
nature of the trouble he demanded the
release of the missionary, saying he
was an American citizen, and as such
his rights must be respected.
"But my orders are to hold him here"
said the officer.
"And my orders from the United
States are to demand his release"
''He must stay here until it suits his
majesty to release him."
'"The United States of America de-
mands his immediate release" quietly
rejoined Minister Conger, "and we're
used to getting what we want"
The missionary was given his free
dom at once.

FAITH CURlST ORPHANAGE.
New Sect From Lincoln, Neb., Dis
covered by PhiladeIphia's Coroner.

covered by PhiladeIphia's Coroner.
The death of 7-months-old child in
Philadelphia, which was reported to
the coroner the other day, led to the
discovery that nine children and five
adults have been living In a six room
house. The adults are faith curists,
and they do not permit the children to
have medical attention when i'll.
AT the inquest the leader of the party
said he was II. L. Sollenberger, and he
came to Philadelphia about three
months ago from Moonlight, Ky. This
was his first experience in what he
called "a faith curist orphanage." He
said the name of the sect was the Fire
Baptized Holiness association. He is
styled the reverend, but admitted that
he had never attended a religious sem
mary and was never licensed to preach
by any church, says the New York Sun.
The headquarters of the sect are at
Lincoln, Neb.
Sollenberger is tall, gaunt, fellow,
stoop shouldered and with q sallow
complexion and deep sunken blue eyes.
He wore a long black cutaway coat
and waistcoat of clerical cut. His cap
was similar to that worn by officers of
the Salvation Army, and on the band
Of red, in black letters, was printed
Jesus Saves-Eternity- In
answer to questions Sollenberger said
that the "orphanage was supported by
voluntary contributions" Asked why
he did not have medical treatment for
the child, he replied:
Because it is against our religious
principles. We are children of God
and believe in the curing of disease by
prayer"
What would you do if the child had
broken leg?'
"Cure it myself"
"You do not mean that, do your"
Eyes, sir; do"
'This child died of neglect, did it

BIRDS PLUMES AND RIBBONS
What Will BE Used For Fall and
Winter Millinery.

Birds are again to the fore, and there
Is fair demand for clipped aigret,
more especially as trimming for ca
potes In combination with flowers. BY
providing fresh series of flowers with
out interruption, suitable to each di-
vision of the season as it comes round,
those interested in their sale hope to
promote regular demand for them all
through the autumn and winter
AS matters stand at present, 1t seems
highly probable they will be successful.
The temperance on the field of ostrich
and other kinds Of plumage has made
no notable decrease in the sale of
flowers, says The Millinery Trade Re-
view correspondent. If trimming I'M
derneath brims is maintained they will
certainly continue in request, as in this
position flowers are as applicable to
winter as to summer millinery. Wheth-
er or no they will be adapted to the
outside ornamentation of winter hats
1t is impossible as yet to tell, but there
Is every likelihood of their being chosen
to trim some of the autumn felts. In
deed, l have already come across a
model here and there, the trimming of
which consists entirely or in part of
flowers or foliage.
A soft gray felt has no other trim
ming than a loose garland of large
mauve orchids, and a khaki colored
felt Is wreathed about with russell tint
ed foliage, closed on one side by bow
Of scarlet velvet. These may be eccen-

CUBANS URGE EVACUATION.


9pptbt ~ hcNfn1ey.
Washington, Aug. 20.-The Cuban del
egation which called upon the president
ut the White House to plead for Cuban
Independence is not as hopeful or as well
satisfied as its members stated in an in
terview after the close of the visit. Senor
Cisneros, who headed the delegation, said
in an interview:
81 do not believe that we could per-
suade the government here to leave the
island, but it was our duty to make the
appeal, and we have done it. Now we
shall go back to Havana. The Cubaps
all over the island resent the manner in
which the coming constitutional conven-
ton will be held. They are indignant
that the Americans should assume to
dictate the Cuban constitution, which
may later be defeated. l do not be-
lieve that they would ever be satisfied
with a constitution made under such
pressure. For my own part, were | u
delegate in the convention, | would walk
out Of it unless the American government
would withdraw its attempt to control
the constitution. Time only can tell
whether revolution against the Ameri-
cans will be necessary should the present
policy be continued.
I'VE shall never be satisfied with in
teryention. We want the Americans to
leave the island to the Cubans, who are
its rightful owners. | do not believe
that they would ever voluntarily accept
annexation. They want independence
complete and permanent. The military
government now in charge is one of the
worst possible administrations. Look at
the Neely scandal and see how the Off
cials are acting; then you can know how
the Cubans feel"

A GREAT VICTORY.

The defeat of the refunding ordi-
nance was the work of the people them
selves. To them belongs the credit for
this victory for sound finance. The
opponents of the ordinance were abso-
lutely without funds to effect an organ
lied opposition. What work was done
in that line was purely voluntary on
the part of citizens having the best in
terests of the community at heart Suf-
fee it to say that all of this work was
not bagatelle compared to the Or
ganized fight for the ordinance put up
by the machine. And this is not
counting the actively vicious campaign
for the ordinance carried on by the two
daily papers of this city in combined
opposition to the Register-which as
usual with the aid of the people, de-
feated them single handed as it always
has done in elections pertaining to
municipal finance.
Had the opponents of the ordinance
1.-THE of the resources or organiza-
ton of it's advocates, if the opposition
vote could have been gotten to the
polls, it is safe to say that instead of
being defeated by 1853 votes it would
have been showed under by at least
1000 popular majority. Small though
the margin against 1t is, however, it is
enough. And thereon the citizens and
taxpayers of Wheeling are to be con-
graduated.
