The Celebration.

The rain of last Wednesday great
" interferred with the number of
people in attendance at the celebra-
ton of the nations natal day at this
place, but seemed to increase the real
pleasure of the occasion. At the
time of the parade, the streets were
very muddy, and so that feature OF
the day was considerably interfer-
ed with. The floats however were
go0d and the music by the Morris
band showed much hard practice,
and it was faHorably commented
on during the day. The exhibition
drill was a credit to Go. | and proved
an interesting innovation at the cele-
bration. Small sports were held on
Atlantic ayenue after dinner and
furnished their quota of fun and ex-
element.
The ball game between Benson
and Browns Valley was too one
sided to entertain the crowd on &C
count of Benson running Ia SIX
scores in the first inning. The final
score was twelve to three in favor OF
Benson. In the evening the free
dance in the armory and the fire
works furnished enjoyment, the latter
making very good display for the
funds which the committee had at
their disposal.
In general. the celebration was as
elaborate as the business outlook
would warrant at the time the funds
were solicited, and the small outlay
required of visitors the bill game
and dapce being free was popular
feature with those from the country.

WILL NET AS rlUCH AS LAST.
Crop Outlook is Much More Optimls-
tic Than it Has Been.

The soaking rains of this week
have changed crop expectations radi-
cally. Fields that week ago some
were willing to say were entirely gone
others are now saying will give as
good crop as ever. Ali small gram
has grown considerably since the first
rain, so that the prospect is now good
for it being in good condition to cut.
With the harvesting expenses re-
dueed by at least "a third and the
price added to by half, it seems
probably that the farmers of Stevens
county will net as much or nearly as
much from their small grain this
year as they did last,

The Roar of Battle.

The roar of the navy's four point
seven's, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the shrap7
mel, the barking of the howitzers ana
the mechanical, regular rattle of the
quick firing MaXims, which sounded
like the clicking Of many moving ma
chimes on a hot summers day, tore the
air with such hideous noises that ones
skull ached from the concussion, and
one could only be heard by shouting.
But more impressive by far than this
hot chorus of mighty thunder and pet
ty hammering was the roar of the
wind which was driven down into the
valley beneath and which swept up
again in enormous waves Of sound. 1t
roared like a great hurricane at sea.
The Illusion was SO complete that you
expected, by looking down, to see the
Tugela lashing at her banks, tossing
the spray hundreds of feet in air and
battling with her sides of rock. 1t Yves
like the roar of Niagara in a gale, ala
yet when you did look below not leaf
was stirring, and the Tugela was slip
ping forward, fat and sluggish and in
peace.-From with Buffers Column"

St. Louis, May l27.-sympathizers Of
the striking street car men We're again
the medium Of & riotous denonstra-
ton yesterday ane as a result another
name was added to the long list of
wounded. Yesterday afternoon as a
car on the Jefferson avenu line run
ming south approached Sullivan ave-
nue., it was attacked by Il crowd of
men and boys. Several shots were
fred at the car. The policeman on
board the car returned the fire and in
all about 100 shots were exchanged.
Peter, Wells, a patrollman who was
riding on the front platform, was MT
in. the left armpit, the bullet produc-
ing an ugly wound. Wells remained
on the car until it reached the Ninth
district police station. He was taken
to the home Of physicians and sur
geons, where his wound was dressed.
1t is not known who fred the shot, as
the crowd scattered as soon as the
men on the car drew their revolvers.
1t was rumored that two men in the
crowd were shot but they could not
be found by the police. A riot call
was sent to the Fifth district police
station but when the police arrived
the. crowd had dispersed. The diff
%ferences existing between the a
agement of the st. Louis Suburban
Railway company and the union men
in its employ, were satisfactorily al
justed and all danger of another strike
has been averted at least for the pres
emf.

Chinese Government That 1t IL

ened by the "Boxers.o

Washington, May q. - The United
States government has taken a hand in
the suppression Of the Boxers" in
China. Minister Conger has beea in
structed by the state department to
inform the Chinese government that
the government of the United States
expects it to stamp out promptly and
effecually the society and to provide
for the maintenance of law and order
and the protection Of life and property
Of Americans in China, all now threat
ened by the operations of the Boxers"
There is no indications in the instruc-
lions as to the course that will be pnr-
sued by the United States in case the
Chinese government fails to observe
the warning conveyed in this COM
m%unication. Mr.. Conger is acting on
parallel lines with the representatives
Of every European power at the Chi
nese court, but has not Joined In any
concerted action. 1t is intimated here
that the Chinese government in deal
ing with the Boxers"
Will Encounter Great Difficulty,
as the society claims to be purely So
cial in character. The Boxers now
are not attacking foreign missionaries.
but are killing The Chinese who allow
themselves to be converted to Chris
tianity. This phase Of the matter is
difficult to deal with, as it is a we'll
recognized right Of a nation to deal
with its own subjects as it pleases.
This view does not contemplate ex-
cesses such are ascribed to the
Boxers" and there is believed to be
reasonable ground for foreign inter-
vention which would include the, par-
ticipation of United States warships
and even troops if such should be
necessary.
Mr.. Conger's latest advices to the
state department indicates that this
troublesome society is waxing strong
in the very heart of Pekin, the Chinese
capital, and it was evident from she
tone of his dispatch that a crisis was
approaching which would either re-
Quire drastic action by the Chinese
government or a hostile demonstration
by the powers in the neal future.
