JAIL SENTENCE IMPOSED.
The Hilarious Psssensers Who Assaulted Co..

The Chicago east bound c. & A. train on
Saturday night was the scene Of disturbance,
which resulted In the arrest of several passen-
gers and their conviction here this week In
the Justices court. charged with assault and
battery.
When the train reached Independence with
Conductor Arnold In charge. ten or twelve
men who had been engaged In government
work upon the river at that place and were
being transferred to Glasgow, boarded the
smoker In a rather intoxicated condition.
They became even more hilarious in the car,
making so much noise aud creating such q
disturbance, that the conductor was forced to
take notice of their disorder aud ask them to
keep quiet.
Resenting this interference, when near Mt.
Leonard, they attempted to stand the con.
ductor ON his head and also to throw him
through the car window, in which they might
have succeeded, had 1t not been for the as
sistance offered him by other passengers in
the coach.
The authorities here we're telegraphed for,
and the train was met at the depot by Deputy
Sheriff Fristoe, who took four Of the uuruly
leaders in charge and locked them up in the
county Jail: Andy Merkle and Robt. Leo

A Walk ON WHICH A WAGER RESTS

perhaps the champion pedestrian Of the world.

evening, where he registered at Hotel Hurt.
His starting point was New York City. which
he left August Ist, and he intends footing Il
through to San Francisco by December Sth,
Of this year. He has an object in these long
walks however. All this energy Is not ex.
pended for the "fuu Of the thing" or for the
need Of outdoor exercise. He Is not allowed
to ride either by boat or chr; he must swim

even allowed the comparative luxury Of the

self with Eastern friends and also purse Of
$500, offered for the successful performance OF
this walking task. For expense money, he
follows the custom Of selling his picture for
ten cents and being man of such wonderful
powers as a pedestrian. he doubtless finds
this an easy matter. The time allowed him
requires that he make IS or 40 miles per day.
which keeps him busy during the day getting
over It.
He holds the worlds record for mile

then directed a tremedous fire upon the Chinese works. after which storming par ties were landed both on the northern and southern banks, who carried the forts with | nttIe trouble. Thirty-four F'renchmen were, | however killed or wounded by a magazine explosion in one of the forts The 1otlla or gunboats proceeded up stream as soon as the lighting was over, and on the 26th reached Ten Tsin, where the terrified Chl- neSe made peace
 Ihe peace, however did not last long. On June 70, 1859, an AngTo-French squadron, under Admiral Hope, was refused passage by the Chinese commander of the forts and he determined to force a way. Since Is5S the works had beer repaired and much strengthened the pick of the Chinese army had been placed in them and the river had been filled with obstacles of all kinds booms, strong rafts anchored across the stream and sharpened stakes placed so as to pierce the bottom of any vessel steam- ing up stream
 On June 9 Admiral Hope attempted to force passage, but with no success. Of his eleven gunboats six were disabled or compelled to retire. In the Plover one of the vessels that suffered most thirty-one out of a total crew of forty, were killed or wounded in thirty minutes. The admiral himself was severely wounded and the losses in officers and men were exceeding ly heavy It was on this occasion that Captain Tatnall, the American officer who afterward commanded the Confederate ronclad Merrimac in her famous encoun- ter with the Monitor, came to the aid of the British with the cry: "Blood is thicker than water!" He rowed off to the British admiral in the very thick of the fight and offered to remove the wounded. offer which was not declined Some of his men actually went to one of the British guns, the crew of which had fallen, and fought it for some minutes.
 Toward D. m. Admiral Hope determined to fling his last throw, and to put in land ing party to assault the forts. This was done, but with the most disastrous results.

built a wall, as the Tartars had, and whens ever a workman died his body was ens tombed within the wall. In this manner ft Is estimated 100000 human beings found their last resting place in the walls sur rounding Peldn While the Chinese city Is of much interest yet the Tartar city is more important, for within It's precincts Is the Forbidden" or Purple" city, where lives the emperor.
 Little is known of the forbidden city, for within the memory of man not half dozen whites have entered it. All that is known is 1t contains the palace of the em- peror and the famous coal hill This im- mense heap of coal was accumulated for use in case the city was besieged. The hill is several hundred feet high and contains hundreds of thousands of tons of coal.
 The rest of Pelxin is much like all Chi nese cities-picturesqueIy confusing and terribly dirty. Streets run in the most b- zarre fashion, aimlessly wandering from bad to worse, frdnged on both sides by hov- els and palaces in confusion. Dogs and pigs meander about with beggars and unkept children and weird odors overwhelm the traveller. Of course. in the outlying hills the rich mandarins live in luxury and have beautiful palaces with every comfort. Idyl- lie gardens surround these homes and the landscape gardener is given full scope

The storming party of English and French was not strong enough and could not scale the walls of the forts; it was beaten back with a loss of about 400 killed and wounded in addition to the casualties incurred in the purely naval attack.
 To repair this defeat, in the following year force of 18, 600 British and French soldiers and a strong and combined squad ron under Admirals Hope and Charner were dispatched to the Pei-ho. The army was landed to the north of the Tal<u forts and on August 20. 1860, began to Lombard them in conjunction with the feet. On the following day the guns had done enough damage to permit the forts being stormed an operation which was accomplished in the teeth of fierce resistance, with a loss to the English of 21 killed and 1Si wounded That loss would have been far heavier had the Chinese ammunition been only toler- able. Sir R. Napier, who was one of the officers leading the stormers, was actually hit at quite close quartsrs by five bullets, each one of which should have killed him. As it was. he was merely bruised.
 On this occasion 1000 prisoners and nearly 1.000 guns were captured by the allies, whose victorious advance was not arrested until Pekin had been reached

TROUBLESOME TAKU
The Forts That Always Bear the Brunt
 of China's Foreign Quarrels
From the London News.

From the London News.
 The Taku forts which defend the mouth of the muddy and shallow Pei-ho river, have already in the past on three occasions been the see3e of fighting between an Anglo French force on the one hand and the Chinese on the other. Twice they were captured by their European assailants: once they wfthstood attack and a serious defeat was inflicted upon the foreign devils by the Chinese Sodiery.
 The forts at the date of this fighting were four in number-the north and the small north forts on the one side of the river and south and the small south forts on the other They were square structures, in 1S5S mounting about 300 guns of all patterns With walls of sun-dried mud surrounded by two wide ditches full of water, and too deep to be crossed without swimming En- tanglements of sharpened bamboo were just below the actual ramparts, and added no little to the difficulty of a successful at tack From the swampy nature of the banks of the Pei-ho it was by no means easy to approach the forts on land. while tne depth of water in the river was insufI- eleht Tor anything larger than a small gun boat to steam up under them
 Tn May, RsS during our second war with China-a war in which England had the alliance of France-an Anglo-Erench squadron, under Admirals Sir NJ Seymour ana tisauit de Genouilly, appeared off the mouth of the Pei-ho Six French and five British gunboats crossed the awkward bar at the mouth of the river, and on May 20 steamed up to the lower pair of forts. the tormorant opening a way for the ffotiIIa by gallantly ramming a full speed for midable boom which the Chinese had thrown across the stream.

Pekin is at once interesting, despicable, superlative1y beautiful and frightfully filthy. Originally Tartar encampment begun by the hordes that swarmed to the eastern part of China, Pel1in soon became a fortified city of much strength.
 Here the Tartar rulers lived surrounded by their Manchu followers, fearing the white mans usurpation far less than the numerical preponderance of the Chinese. So in order to protect themselves from ex- pected assauIt they built a large wall around their city and for q time lived in security, says the Scientific American.

check upon the corrupt practices of the
other faction of that party.
BY refusing to take the stand. while
the prosecution is making it's case. Mr..
DAILY may leave upon the public mind
the impression that he was afraid of in
eliminating himself in the charge that
the assault upon Mr.. Clark is the out
growth of a political conspiracy of long
standing. Neither Mr.. DAILY nor his
friends can afford this. 1t therefore be-
hooves him to seize the opportunity now
afforded to lend the force of his strong
personality and wide influence n high

1t would be useless to send a large

always wise to rely too much on South

kill the average grocer with fright. Three
million cans of meat Is certainly not a
bad order to receive at once. while a cou-
pie hundred tons Of tea ought to swell

articles down and give them a better
chance of digestion.

consideration, so fodder, beans and 9TH

before the last moment. So that alto
