The Marshal of Belle Center has
shown himself friend of saloons and
against the law-abiding element of his
community by playing trick to pre-
vent the punishment of one of the sa-
loon-keepers of that place who had been
violating the local option law. Finding
that the temperance people were pre-
pairing several affidavits against one
Charles Hullinger, to arrest him on
several violations of the local option
law, he swore out a warrant against
Hullinger, covering all the time from
the first of the year to the date of the
warrant, making the keeping of the
place for al that time but one offense.
Hullinger then appeared before the
Mayor, pleaded guilty, was. fined SOC
and cos S, paid the money, and escaped
with one fine, whereas, if he had been
arrested, as he should have been, for
several offenses, it would have cost him
5000 or $500. We suppose the Marshal
thinks it was sharp trick for man
who has taken an oath to enforce the
law, to assist known violator OF it in
escaping its just penalties. The com
munity will have its own opinion of his
act, and of his regard for the sanctity
Of an oath. The Mayor should have
headed off the smart game of the Mar
shall by setting date in the future fol
the trial, and have heard the other
cas- es first. 1t would be easy work tc
defeat such tricksters.

CONGER GIVEN ASSURANCE
OF EARLY RESCUE.
By the Troops of the Allies That
Are Now Pushing Forward

Special to Times Citizen,
WASHINGTON, D. c., August g.
Messages were today cabled Conger
advising him of the approach of the re-
lief column and exhorting him to be of
good cheer. Assurances were furnish
ed of the most strenuous endeavors or
the part of the allied troops to cover
the distance between the Tsin and Pc
kin with the utmost dispatch. The
message was in reply to the last appeal
of Conger received last night asking
immediate assistance if at all. The
Chinese officials are urging the minis
ters. who are under constant rife fire
from the Imperial troops, to leave the
city, but SO far they have not been sue
cessful.
The different bands of the county ad
ded much to the peoples pleasure las

our own city band. They have beer
organized but few months and it was
a common remark that there was M
better band in the city last week.

SECRETARY Long says if the United
States legations are safely delivered
into our hands, and an indemnity is Of
fered, there will be no war with China,
and our army will retire from Peking.
That is to say, that China having made
war on innocent American citizens,
men, women and children; and upon the
highest representatives of our Govern
ment in China; and having done all it
could to have them slaughtered; and
havin G killed a number of our soldiers,
and murdered many of our people who
were in China under sacred treaty
rights; now, Mr.. Long says, as soon as we
can rescue them from the murderous
Chinese, we will abandon our allies, take
a bag of filthy lucre as an indemnity,
and be glad to leave with our persecut.
ed people and Minister, and let China
alone. Not much, MIR. Long. You may
be Long in name but not in statesman
ship and patriotism, if you talk thai
way. If the allied armies rescue the
besi eyed legationers and their families
and if they find, as Conger says, that
the attack on them, has been by I'm.
perial troops; then let China be taught
a lesson that she will never forget.
Force her to admit foreign trade and
foreign ideas and citizens, who may
want to go there for trade, and limit
her navy and army and armament, ant
make her barbarian hordes subject t.
civilization. Otherwise, with her 300,
600, 900 half civilized people, her hatred
of foreigners, her utter disregard o
treaty rights, her power to equip ant
mainta in an immense navy and army
she will create, equip, drill, arm ant
train, an army and navy that will be
menace to the whole Western world
Let the civilized world not be blind Il
the danger, but put muzzle upon tn
tiger, now, when it can be done. 4
partition of the Empire, each part mad
a separate Nation, may be the safes
course to pursue.

PEACE PROBABLE.
The Allied Forces Have Ad-
vanced Beyond Yang
Tsung.
WITHIN Is MILES
Of Pekins and Marching On
Last Wednesday.
China Alarmed and Suing For Peace.

The news from China is more cheer.
ing and encouraging than at any time
since the shutting up of the Legation
ers at Peking.
The allied army defeated the Chinese
at Yan-tsung Monday, driving them
from their trenches at the first assault,
and Wednesday occupied Tsi-nan, only
25 miles from Peking. This shows they
were not going to stop by the way, but
go right on to Peking.
In the fight at Yan-tsung, Monday,
the Americans were in the fight, losing
about so in killed and wounded.
The near approach of the allied army
to Peking seems to have frightened the
Chinese Government, and it has au.
thorized Ii Hung Chang, at Shanghai,
to negotiate peace with the allies
only stipulating that he shall refer any
agreement to the Tsung Ii Yamen al
Peking for approval.
IL This is very probably the beginning
d the end, but fhe allied army will moi
stop until it reaches Peking.
A message was received Saturday
from Minister Conger, showing that he
knew of the advance of the allied army
and that he is in communication with
Gen. Chaffee, at the head of the Amer
ican troops.
| On Wednesday Gen. Chaffee forward
ed this message to Washington:
"Peking, Aug. Ave will hold OF
until your arrival. Hope it will be
soon. Seud such information as yor
can. CONGER."
In dispatch, two days later, Con
ger says: "Whatever may be the out
come, we will hold on indefinitely"
Our Government has notified L
Hung Chang that the allied armies will
not halt, while peace negotiations are
pending, but will march on to Peking
release our Ministers and restore order
The dispatch from Conger to Chaffet
shows they are in communication, an6
this would afford those who carry the
dispatches to find out the strength o
the Chinese forces defending the ap
Iproaches to the capital. And if sucl
information has shown that the allie
may easily march into Peking, it will
account for the immediate advance
from Yan-tsung, where the allies ex
pected to stay till the 18th of August
and would also account TO, the Chimes,
proposal of peace.
We believe the end is near.

cause they are not white. The colored

Navigation Is Impaired and Saw Mills
Forced to Shut Down.
LA CROSSE, Wis, June 27.-The pres
ent wonderfully low stage of the Mis-
sissippi river is unparalleled in the his
tory of the river for over 40 years. Not
single steamboat man or lumber man
can remember time when it has fallen
to its present stage of 1.6 feet so early
in the season, and in fact at any other
period Of the year. Extremely heavy
rains along the river would be the only
relief.
Navigation is impaired to such an ex-
tent that all the saw mills Of the city,
three in number, have been forced to
cease operations, owing to scarcity Of
logs.
The log famine is due to the low
water, for logs cannot be gotten out of
the small streams into the river. Cole
mans big mill shut down during the
day, throwing 300 men out of work and
no prospects of starting again.
