Chino-Japanese war, where they have sus-
tained heavy losses.
They have also been compelled to abau-
don Tashichau by a large body of Boxers
and armed peasants. Here again the Rus
SLAMS lost heavily but 1t is reported that
they succeeded in killing 100 of their as
sailants. The Chinese have completely de-
molshed the railway north of Tashichau
Russian reinforcements are now being con-
ceEtrated on Niuchwang.

recaptured the native city Of Ten Tsin last
Saturday their shells set fire to the town.
Chinese before they fed killed all their own
women. 1t Is reported. to prevent their
falling into the foreigners hands.
Native Chinese here report that there are
In and around Pekin at least 300 600 Chi
nese troops. and that the Boxers are srmed
with the best and most modern weapons
From all sources come the same tidings
that the Boxers have enormous supplies of
modern arms and ammunition.
Boxer leaders had organized plans for
massacring foreigners in all the treaty
ports. we'll as in the interior. and
heavy reward was promised for each white
head brought In. Rich loot was promised
to all.
Especial stress is laid by Tuan's generals

SELLING white women.
The story receives the full credence of
the Europeans here.

4 Sad accident

The entire community was
shocked Tuesday evening by the
sad news of the tragic death of
little Jim Cottongim, the two year
old baby boy of Mr.. and Mrs. r.
S. Cottongim, who was run over
and killed by heavy loaded wag-
on. Little Jim, together with the
other children was playing on the
sidewalk opposite the house when
four-mule wagon came along
driven by Mr.. Henry Williams, a
citizen of Booth, La. Just as the
wagon wasopposite the house the
little fellow tried to cross over to
the house and walked right under
the front wheels, and before the
driver was aware of his presence
the wheel knocked him down and
ran diagonally across his little
body, crushing him so badly that
he died in a few minutes. Mrs.
Cottongim ran to him Immediate
ly,and picked him up, but all that
loving hands could do was in vain
and the heart-broken parent, half
crazed with grief could only hold
her darling baby to her bosom
while the death angel waited his
precious little spirit home to it's
Maker.
Little Jim was the pride of the
household and only that morning
his papa had to slip away from him
to go to his work, SO anxious was
he to follow.
Mr.. Cottongim was at Orvis-
burg when the accident occurred,
but came in response toa message
bearing the sad news, only to find
his home wrapped in sorrow,
where only few hours before, he
left his loved ones enjoying the
sunshine of a happy home.
The funeral services we're con-
Quoted from the resid ence by Rev.
w. B. Holcomb at 2 o'clock and
the remains tenderly laid to rest

sympathizing friends.
The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of the entire communI-
ty in their sad misfortune, and
may they be comforted in their
sorrow by Him who alone can
comfort and give them the grace
to say: "Thv Will be Done"
Mr.. Williams, who was in charge
of the team, was questioned in re-
gard to the accident, and he stated
that he did not see the child at all
until after the wheel struck him,
and that he did all in his power
to prevent the accident. Consid-
ering these facts, which were SUBJ
stantiated by several other eye
witnesses, he is exonerated from
all blame.
