"ALIvE
And Doing Well" is Charles SchiI-
ling, who was Reported to
Have Suicided.

In last Saturdays Leader our Macks-
burg correspondent gave an account Of
the suicide of a supposed Charles
Schilllng, who formerly lived with his
mother at that place. The suicide was
committed at Bowlder City, Col. The
remains arrived at Macksburg Monday
morning and was found not to be that
of Charles Schilling.
A telegram was sent to the post
master at Ell1ton, Col, inquiring IL
Schilling was alive. Schilling's farm
was near Elkton. The postmaster at
Elkton Immediately telegraphed:
Charles Schilling Is alive and doing
we'll; received his mail here yester-
day."
The mistake is supposed to have oc-
Cured in this way: Schilling's moth
er's former name was Mrs. Coffee The
mans name who committed suicide
was Charles Coffee. Charles Schilllng
sometimes went by the name OF
Charles Coffee. A friend of the Schil-
ling family living in Colorado, read of
the suicide of Charles Coffee, and mis-
taking 1t to be Charles Schilling tele-
graphed to friends here that Charles
Schilling had sulcided at Bowlder
City, hence the mistake. 1t appears
that Coffee had no friends there and
the remains were shipped when order
ed.
Mr.. Schilling's many friends here
rejoice to hear that he is "alive and
doing we'll -

Small Corn Crop in Kansas.

Kansas City, Aug. 21.-Two-thirds
of Kansas, west of the three eastern
most tiers of counties, is experiencing
one of the most severe dr0uths in the
history of the state, and the general op-
inion is that the Kansas corn crop will
be the smallest in proportion to its re-
quirements for feeding that has been
raised in many years. In 1899 there
was 225, 100000 bushels. Secretary
Coburn's report of conditions In August
indicated yield this year of about 145.-
900, 900 bushels. Since then there have
been two weeks of hot weather, which
has further materially reduced con-
ditions, and the most liberal estimates
of we'll informed men on change do not
exceed OO,OO0,000 bushels, while many
place the crop at not over 100000
bushels. The plowing for winter
wheat is delayed by the dry conditions
of the SOIL Pastures are dry and
stock water in many cisterns is scarce.

A PANIC AT THE BIG FAIR.
Second Serious Accident Cast Gloom
Over the Festivities.

Paris, Aug. ia second serious acci-
dent has happened at the exposition. 1t
occurred upon the occasion Of the most
successful fete given, casting deep
gloom over the city. 1t had been decided
to give night fete betting the day,
when the prizes were distributed, and con-
sequently all the bululngs were brilliant
ly illuminated. All the Paris exposition
was crowded, including the bridges join
ing one part with the other, and it was
OH one OF these wooden structures, that
joining the Invalides to the Italian pa
vilion, that the accident occurred.
1t was rumored at first that the bridge
had fallen, but IL was found that this was
not absolutely correct, as only the hand
rail on one side had given way under the
following circumstances:
just before II o'clock some one passing
over from the direction Of the Champs
de Mars, shouted: ut creaks," and al
though .Aere was no justification for the
cry ~ was repeated by the crowd, causing
a panic. Through the pressure Of the
crowd on the lnvalides side, 30 persons
were -precipitated to the roadway, three
yards below. Two Of these were kiiled
Alost Of the victims were women.
Ihe minister of commerce, M. Millerand
visited the scene and President Lowbel
sent General Dubois to represent him.

secretary Hay to Bla me.

San Francisco, Aug. 21.-Senator Ma
son, of Illinois. who mas just returned
from Alaska, is in this city. In speak
ing Of the boundary situation, he scor-
ed Hay, saying: Secretary of State
Hay is anything but an American, and
he has committed an act for which he
will be called to account in the next
congress-. Fifty-seven years ago the
United States bought from Russia cer-
tain territory in the north. and that
territory has been held and protected
by our government for more than half
century. The boundary line is mar
ked by a church and q monument at
one point and it made me indignant to
see the British flag had driven out the
Stars and Stripes from highly valu-
able territory. This is the assinine
work of Mr.. Hay in agreeing to a tenn
porary line of boundary. The Amer
ican policy, which is well fixed, is to
never give UP foot of land that has
been honorably obtained, and this poll
cy should most certainly be followed
in Alaska. It is anything but a pleas
ant experience to have American min
ers come to one with tears In their eyes
and show where they are ruined by the
fact that the protection Of the flag had
been taken from them and they had
been placed under the dominion of the
British. /. There Is no excuse for the
situation in the northwest, and the
matter will most certainly receive SER
ious attention in the next congress-"

ENGLAND Irritated.

London, Aug 2O.-England is thorough
ly irritated over the governments SEEM
ingly changeable course respecting tho
landing of troops at Shanghai. Even the
semblance of yielding to pressure by the
powers or the Chinese viceroys is regarded
as impairing British prestige in the east

on its supposed vacillation and faint-heart-
edness. British troops, after all, occupy

road office mo? Well, it's a sad story.
You see, | always had an idea that there
was more or less literary talent concealed
about my Uranium, and, happening to be
out of job last summer, l concluded to
break into journalism.
ut wasn't quite as easy as / antici-
pated, but at last l persuaded a certain
city editor to let me show him what /
could do. he said, pretty grufly, that
he'd give me a chance and sent me to
report a church meeting near Carrollton.
when l arrived at the place, l found
a lot Of dignitaries assembled, and one
very solemn, ponderous old gentleman
got up to explain the object of the gath
ering. He took his stand by table on
which / had spread out my writing ma
terial and rested the knuckles of one
hand on the cloth Thus far everything
was all right, but just as he began to
speak | noticed a curious reddish brown
line which extended from the table top
up the back of his hand and wrist and
disappeared behind his cuff

see that the line was a compact process
sion Of small red ants, moving in serried
ranks, exactly like an army, and all
hustling up the solemn old gentleman's
sleeve. At the sight of that grewsome
invasion every idea had few out Of my
head and if my life had depended upon
it | couldn't have put two consecutive
words on paper.

ed speaker and to hear him Keeling off
his blandly pompous opening sentences,
knowing as / did that he was being load
ed up with red ants at the rate Of about
5000 a minute, was more than 1 could
stand, and I began to giggle hysterical-
~. Thereupon one of the good brethren
arose and moved that the young person
who was disturbing the meeting be re-
quested to retire, and of course there
was nothing for me to do except to sneak
out.
''But just as I reached the door the old
gentleman gave a sudden snort, clutched
himself convulsively and lost the thread
of his discourse, and, in spite Of all my
efforts at control, I burst into howl Of
vociferous, idiotic laughter. 1 rushed
away, covered with shame, and the secre-
tary notified the Office that had appear
ed in a state Of lnaudlin intoxication'

There can be no question that the ap.
pointment of Prince Tuan as the head of
the Chinese govern ment, If it has really
taken place, shows that the reigning
dynasty is not in repentent mood. Tuan
was the head and front OF the recent up
rising, and his elevation amounts vir-
tually to an endorsement of that upris-
ing It is difficult to see how negotia
lions can be carried on with any hope of
success with this Prince at the head or

1T is alleged that Germany will demand
of China ths delivering OF i've of the
persons most responsible for the recent
uprising against foreigners and II the
demand is not Immediately complied
with will follow it with q declaration
OF war. Something Will depend, perhaps,
upon the persons asked for as to whether
the demand is complied With or not.
Some comparatively inconsequential
persons China might be willing to give
up, but If the persons most responsible
for the uprising, such as the Empress
Dowager and Prince Tuan, are named 1t
can be assumed In advance that the de-
mand will not be complied with voIun-
tarily, and that war will be necessary to
enforce it, AS there is reason to suspect
that war / 5 what Germany really wants

ensure a refusal, The motives that have
influenced Germany to a course which
is likely TO eventuate in war are various

The hope of electing Bryan is now
based very largely on the expectation that
the toal strike may breed discomfort
throughout the country and that the
voters affected by it may vote, as discon-
tented people are liable to do, against the
administration in power. That is to
say the Bryanites are looking to calam-
ity to pull them through. We are bound
to say that it is better reliance than i'm
perialism, or trusts or free silver. 1t

there are too many people Interested in

That wage disputes on large scale
can be settled by arbitration is shown by
the agreement just arrived at between the
employers in the iron and steel manufac-
ture and the Amalgamated Association
of iron and steel workers representing the
employees Here 1t Will be observed the
employers consented to treat with an
association representing the employees.
There were many conferences between
the parties, and much difference of view
on the start, but each showed willing
ness to sacrifice something for the sake
of agreement, and at last satisfactory
understanding was arrived at which Will
avert a strike that would have been even
more extensive and far reaching than the
coal strike. There is little question that
If the coal operators had shown the same
disposition as the iron and steel en-
ploy srs strike in the coal regions would
