She is in the foremost battle, she is in tho
rCarmOSt tents,
She wears no weapon of attack no armor Of

She Is braver than the bravcst, size is trucr
than the true,
She asks not if the soldier struck for red and
white and blue,
She asks not if he fell beneath the yellow and
the red;
She is mother to the wounded, she is sister TO
the dead.
The virtors' cheers ring in her ears, but these
She does not heed.
Tho victims means and dying groans arc Civ
en- as her need,
And many a suffering hero chokes his blind
and sullcn curse
To smooth ii to blessing for the Red Cross

Work on, noble army, and the crown of

Not always shall destruction be the glory
which CndurcS.
1t Is coming, 1t is coming; you are hclping on

When we learn the nobler action is to succor,
not to slay.
1t is coming, u is coming; you are aiding it

When we know the feeblcst nation is as potent
as the strong.
1t is coming, it is coming; you are bringing it

WIDENING TRADE IN WEST.
Improved Export Demand forAmer-
lean Products, NotablyWheat.
BETTER INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK,

New York, Sept. l0.-Bradstreet's
says: Trade developments for the
week have been mainly favorable, and
the Improvement in general distribu'
tive business in the lattor part of Au-
gust has gathered force in the first
week of September. Leading features
have been the widening fall trade re-
ported at all points west, south and
on the Pacific coast, some improve
ment in the jobbing demand at the
east, with southern buying marked
feature; rather better reports from the
two great staple crops of the west and
south, wheat and cotton, improved eX-
port demand for American products,
notably wheat, iron and steel, and cot
ton, and unvarying good returns by
the transportation industries of the
country.
Bank clearings, though broken by
holidays in the first week in September,
is larger than the total for the precc-
ding week.
The industrial outlook has been i'm
proved by settlement of the tin plate
scale, the general resumption of opera
tions in the glass industry, the pre-
dicted satisfactory settlement of the
remaining iron and steel wage scales,
and the possibility that recent large
sales of print cloths will avert resort
to wage reductions in the New England
cotton industry. The anthracite coal
trade outlook, however, is clouded by
the prediction that 100000 men will
strike this week.
The iron and steel trade continued
positively cheerful in tone, and a large
business has been and is now being
booked. No important gains in prices
are reported. Demand is expanding
however-1O,OO0 tons of southern pig
being shipped this week, and orders
for twice as much are reported booked.
Iron production showed a further
heavy decline in August but stocks
again increased.
Wheat, including -four, shipments
aggregate 3,373,1O0 bushels, against
3,42s, 1873 last week, 4,353,9OG in the
corresponding week of 1890. Corn en-
ports for the week aggregate 3,162,271
bushels, against 3,717, 400 last week, A.
7S6, S7s in this week year ago. From
July to date this season wheat eX-
ports are 30, 317 SOL, against 27,47G,243
last season.

Held Audience Breathless.

Springfield, Mo-, Sept. IA cloud
less sky greeted the carnival people
and as result the crowd was larger
than it has been on any day of the
Elks' fair. At 10 a. m. the parade of
fraternal societies took place. The
cowboy roping contest was the prin-
cipal feature of the day and was
witnessed by fully 10000 people. 1t
was the first of the kind that has ever
taken place in this section of the coun-
try. The most interesting rider on
the ground and one who by her daring
work on the pony and among the wild
cattle held the audience in breathless
spell was Miss Lucille Mulhall, of Ok
lahoma.
The first prize was won by Doug
Binns, of Claremore, 1. T., who roped,
threw and tied his steer in Az Sec
onds. The second prize was won by

THE DAYS STORY OF China.
Minister WI Conferred With
Gossip Of Peace Commission.
MEN WHO ARE MENTIONED.

Washington, Sept l0.-Minister WI
came from Cape May and was closeted
with state department officials for an
hour. 1t was gathered that the nego-
tiations relative to China were APP
proaching another phase and that
another pronouncement OF some kind
WAS in preparation.
The subject of the personality of
whose names have been suggested as
proper to represent China as peace
commission was discussed. Mr.. WI is
ian ardent adherent of Ii Hung Chang.
Included in the list is the name of John
wv. Foster, but it is regarded as much
more probable that if he appears at all
lin these negotiations it will be in his
old place as representative OF the
Chinese government. He was asso-
ciated with Ii Hung Chang during
ltl,c peace negotiations which closed
the China-Japanese war, and it is said
that Earl Lii has high sense of ap-
Ipreciatios of his work for China then.
II is believed that the administration
lis now casting about for man to head
the commission when it shall be ready
to appoint it. The names of eX-Presi-
dent Harrison, ex-Secretary of State
DAY and John Bassett Moore, who was
secretary of the peace commission at
Paris. have been mentioned in this
connection.
Berlin, Sept. 10.--Special dispatches
No the Cologne Gazette announce that

believe that the Chinese have been

Striking illustrations of this are given.
London, Sept. lO.-The London
chamber of commerce has received
dispatches from the Hong Kong cham
her of commerce. recommending the
occupation of Pekiu until proper
government has been established and
the guilty officials have been punished,
and pointing out that an earlier with
.drawal would be disastrous to foreign
prestige and trade in China.
This the London chamber of COM
merce endorsed and sent to Lord
Salisbury

Washington, Sept. s.-The American
contingent in the parade through the
Imperial palace was small, probably in
conformity with an arrangement be
tween the various commanders in
iPekin that the force selected to make
the demonstration should be limited in
numbers, in order to reduce the
chances of looting. 1t is supposed
here that this demonstration was made
to impress the Chinese people as a
whole. and not from any present mill
tary necessity. Some action of this
kind appears to have been necessary
in order to offset the stories which
were afioat in the southern Chinese
ports to the effect that the allies had
been completely overthrown by the
Imperial troops and the Boxers, which
stories were calculated to cause further
luprisings

HERD OF SHEEP DESTROYED.
Three Thousand Driven Over 200
Feet Preclpice.
THE COUNTRY TAKES UP ARMS.

Walsenburg, Colo Sept. s.-Reports
received from Sharpsdale, small
town near Mount Blanco, in southern
Colo, state that the feud over the use
of the range which has long existed
between cattle men and sheep men,
reached climax this week, when the
cattiemen drove 1900 sheep over a
high precipice. The trouble has grown
out of the scarcity of water along the
water courses. Where grass still re-
mains the sheep were pastured and
after they had once passed cattle
refused to eat and either died or be-
came very poor. The cattlemen rose
in revolt and taking horses corralled
about 5000 sheep. The sheep men
protested, but being unarmed they
could do nothing. The sheep were
then driven down narrow gulch at
the foot of which an ancient waterfall
had followed out a pit over 200 feet
deep. Faster and faster the maddened
animals ran, urged on by the shouts OF
the cowboys, until the leader paused
at the brink The press behind him
forced him over, and the others fol-
lowed. Some of the last, who fell on
the bodies of the first, were not killed,
but the majority were killed. 1t is
said that the entire country has taken
ND arms.

Heavy Deposits.

Wichita, Sept. 10-On last Friday
there were in the banks of Wichita in
local deposits considerably more than
two millions of dollars, nearly two
and half. The entire week was eX-
traordinarily heavy with the banks,
and the forces will have to be in
creased or continue working till late
at night, as they have been for several
days. On one day the deposits at the
Kansas National bank were $4,000,
the heaviest days business in the his
tory of that institution. On another
day the amount ran up to 1000.
