CUT WIRE STOPS NEWS.
The Allies Need Re-enfOrcements
Whereabouts of the Empress.

LONDON, Aug. Glowing probably
to the Peking wire being cut little news
of conditions in the Chinese capital has
come through this morning. What has
reached London indicates that the allies
are In need of re-enforcemcnts.
The commander Of the Italian sccono
class cruiser Fieramosca telegraphs from
Taku, according to the Rome correspond
ent Of The Daily Mail, that very urgent
requests We're coming from Peking on
Saturday for the immediate dispatch of
further troops and that in answer to
those 400 Italian marines We're sent off
post haste.
The Japanese minister in London, Kato
Takaaki, is said to have received a tele-
gram last evening announcing that after
the entry into Peking a Japanese de-
tachnent went to the imperial palace to
afford whatever protection was necessa-
ry. The enemy were in strength, and
lighting was still proceeding when the
message was sent to Tokyo. The main
body of the japanese was then at the
An-ting men gate of the Tartar city, with
headquarters ut the japanese legation.
Reports of the whereabouts of the en-
press dowager are still contradictory, but
General Yung Lu. according to the
Shanghai correspondent of The Stand
ard, is definitely announced to be u pris-
oner by the orders of the empress in the
imperial palace. This, perhaps" says
the correspondent. SIS good thing, as
detention in the capital will enable him
to negotiate with the allies commander,
which he would do rs Prince Tuan's en-
emy."
The Chinese minister in London. Sir
Chih Chen Lofengluh, on being asked
as to the whereabouts of the emperor
and empress dowager, replied. They
have gone westward to the old capital,
Hsian-Fu. and l think they are quite
safe there"

DOwager Empress Detained.

Fall of Psktng OhicialIy Confirmed
DOwager Empress Detained.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. - From
General Chaffee yesterday the war de-
partment received official confirmation of
the fall of Picking and the rescue of the
besieged legationers.
The dispatch of the American com.
mander was not long and contained few
details, but the unconcealed satisfaction
with which il was received by officials of
the administration indicated clearly the
anxiety that had been engendered hy his
prolonged silence. His last communica'
ton to the government prior to the re-
celpt Of these advices was dated Aug. IL
ut Matow, almost 80 miles from Peking
The explanation of his silence is suggest
ed In advices received by the navy de-
partment from Admiral Remey, who, tel
egraphing from Taku on the 18th, says
the telegraph line between that point and
Peking is interrupted.
The cabegram from Admiral Remey
contains some important information not
mentioned by General Chaffee. He makes
the startling statement on Japanese au-
thority, that the inner city of Picking was
being bombarded by the allied forces.
Admiral Remey says also that the dowa'
ger empress Is detained in the inner city
by Prince Yungedo.
Advices received from the foreign Of
flee at Tokyo by the japanese legation In
this city confirm and amplify previous
accounts of the capture of Peking by the
allied troops.
Peking comprises practically four cities
In one. In extent OF area il is about the
size Of New York city. The four seq
ments Of II are the Chinese city, the Tar
tar city. the Imperial city aud the For.
hidden city. The last Is the inner city
mentioned In Admiral Remey's dispatch
and IL the residence Of the emperor and
the seat Of the imperial court. Nobody
Is allowed within its massive walls ex'
cept by special permission Of the emperor

have entered Its gates are comparatively
few iu number. The imperial city Is oc-
cupied only by the highest Chinese oiii'

Severe Drought In Kansas.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 20.-Two-
thirds of Kansas west of the three east
ermost tiers of counties is experiencing
one of the most severe droughts in the
history of the state, and the general
opinion is that the Kansas corn crop will
be the smallest in proportion to its re-
ouirements for feeding that has been rails
ed in many years. In 1889 il was 223.-
100000 bushels. Secretary Coburn's re-
port of conditions on Aug. 4 indicated
yield this year of about $4,000, 900 bush
els. Since then there have been two
weeks of hot, dry weather, which has
further materially reduced conditions.
and the most liberal estimates of well
informed men on change do not exceed
100 200 bushels, while many place
the crop at not over 75.0O00O0.

In fact it matters not with what
political party you are affiliated, you
should be Protectionist in one re-
spect. That is to say you should
protect yourselves against loss by
the destruction of your property by
fire; and what is still more essential,
protect your families against the loss
of their support by the death of the
person who produces that support
the husband the father. This latter
protection can be obtained practical
ly without expense, since it is pos
sible, and in fact compulsory, for the
life insurance company to safely in
vest the funds paid into their hands,
and, after term of years, return
same with profits to policy holders,
if living, on demand.
This matter should command your seri-
GUS attention. Delay is dangerous
and expensive. You will therefore
do well to consult the agent in regard
to the merits of the Penn Mutual
Life Insurance Company of Phila-
delphia, which is justly reputed to
be the most conservative and the
most economical as well as the most
liberal and equitable in it's dealings
with policy holders.
1t is no experiment or adventure
but by all odds the safest and best
investment you can make, besides
furnishing protection to your family.
The Penn Mutual is already over
SO years old and has over 200, 900, 900
of insurance in force, several hun

fully appreciate them, and l shall
take pleasure in seeing that they
have judicious distribution.
Now is the time for North Arkansas
people to strike, for the iron is hot.
All eyes are looking to the future of
that country, and literature will be
appreciated and read. Conserva-
lively speaking, | am safe in saying
that fifty per cent of the inquiries we
are now receiving in regard to the
resources of the state are upon the
Northern part"
1t strikes me that some movement
could be gotten on foot, whereby the
four counties, or more as for that,
could prepare a special issue of your
paper, or even a neat little pamphlet,
detailing the resources, agricultural
and horticultural, as well as min
eral, and be of inestimable benefit to
all.
| tell everybody, and | believe
| am justihable in doing SO,
that Boone county is just as good
for apples as Benton OF Washington.
The only difference is, we have never
had railroad facilities to justify our
farmers in giving their orchards a
fair test.

action we can take to secure some
thing along the line mentioned
