Who Are the "BOxers?"

Since the difficulties in China have.
begun the question is often asked
"Who are the boxers?" The Lon
don Mail is quite clear on the sub
Ject and says the Chinese Society of
Boxers constitutes in reality great
clan Of murGerers, estimated to contain
in its ranks over Ill 100000 semi
barbarianS 5, well organized, well armed
and as savage in their fanaticism as.
the Soudan Dervishes.
The society was originally formed
with the bene6cent intention of ure@
tecting honest men in China from,
bandits. 1t was called Ia Tao Hwri..
which means 1.-THE Society of the
Great Sword" title which seems to
have changed at comparatively re-
cent date to the more familiar name
which SO often appears in our news
papers just now.
When and where the clan originated
is not certain. The natives refer to.
it as an. ''ancient" society, but that
may mean ten years or one hundred
1t is agreed that at first it's principles,
were landable and it's work good: but
as 1t became more powerful and in
creased in numbers many dishonest
and desigring persons entered it for
the prestige and protection it. ac--
corded, just as dishonest ana de-
signing persons ally themselves with
influential parties in other lands today
These men proved disturbing ele-
ment, and in many cases directed the,
efforts of the society against their
personal enemies, whom they repre-
sented as bandits and lawless persons
Terrified by prosecutions, the innocent,
victims looked around for protec-
tlon and discovered it in the Christian
missionaries. 1t is said that they
professed conversion. At any rate.
1t seems to be clear that the mission.
aries succeeded in protecting them.
and thus intensified the feeling which
has always existed in China against
Christian evangelists.
In many districts OF Shantung
countless Christian homes have beer
destroyed. German Protestant and
Roman Catholics, English churchmen
and Congregationalists haze been
alike the victims of shocking out
RACES.

Candidate for Sheriff.

M. j. Gosa, of Palmyra, under the
guidance of ex-Sheriff T. B. Roach.
was in the city Saturday getting ac-
quainted with our people. Mr.. Gosa
announces himself as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for sheriff
OF jefferson county and intends MAX
ing an active canvass for it. He will
be the only candidate before the con-
vention for any place on the county
ticket from that Republican strong
hold-Palmyra = and will have the
united support of not only his home
town, but no doubt that also of the
greater portion of the First Assembly
district, thus rendering his candidacy
entitled to due consideration. Pal
myra always furnishes goodly quota
OF Republican votes, and inasmuch as
the town has not been represented on
the county ticket for some time, Mr..
Gosa's friends feel that he ought to
win out. The gentleman is reputa-
Die and successful business man and
In his section of the county enjoys a
wide acquaintance. He is popular
with all and possesses all the oualifi-
Cations needed to capably fill the office
OF sheriff He made very favorable
impression on those who met him for
the Hrst time here Saturday, and we
think that if nominated he would add
great strength to the ticket

CHANGE IN PRESIDENCY.
Rev. Father O'Keeffe Leaves the Sacred
Heart College-Is Succeeded by
Rev. Father O'Rourke

After a faithful and efficient incum-
bency Of the position for twenty years,
Rev. j. j. O'Keeffe, G. S. c., has been
transferred from the presidency of the
Sacred Heart college in this city to
the pastorate of St. Mary's church at
Austin, Tex. This change is made fn
connection with other transfers of the
800 members of the Holy Cross Order,
whose obediences for the ensuing year
were issued last week.
Under Father O'Keeffe's guidance

a marked degree and he has brought
the institution to a high rank among
Western seats Of learning. The at
tendance has grown materially, the
entire college property has been i'm
proved, new and conimodious build
ings erected. and everything placed
on a most substantial basis The re-
firing presidents record is one over
which both he and his order may we'll
feel gratifed.
Father O'Keeffe's departure for an.
other field of labor is a source of gen.
eral regret in atertown, where he
has always been most popular and
respected citizen. His wide acquaint-
ance throughout the state and the
Northwest will wish him continued
success in his new relations. His sue
cessor at Sacred Heart is Rev. John
O'Rourke, G.. S. c., who has been on
the faculty the past two years. Father

SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH.
Treble It's SiZe-Makes a Queer
WhfstIinR sound

A gamy, omnivorous fish with q
cannibalistic tendency is the paradise
fish which sports in the white house
aquarium. In size it is no longer
than ones little finger. The male is
the fighter, though it's mate will not
hesitate to take fin against anything
that comes its way. A pair of these
fish were brought to the white house
from Siam ten years ago, and it is es-
tfmated that there are now between
six hundred and a thousand of the
species in the aquarium They are
fed principalfR on raw meat and are
kept in separate tanks. Their favor
fte prey is the gold fish, and a tiny
paradise fish, when the opportunity
offers, will tackle a goldfish treble its
size and kill it with one blow from it's
fms.
The paradise fish displays instinct
that comes close to intelligence. It
knows its keeper, and when he goes
near the tank, which he never does ex-
cept when he has food for it, the little
fellow comes to the surface and
makes peculiar noise which resem-
bles low whistle. This is continued
till the keeper tosses in the food.
When a number of these fish come
to the surface at the keepers ap-
proach the sound recalls that of a
Aock of quail drumming.
