Beck, the Victim.

The pretty little four-year-old daugh-
ter, Fellce, Of Mr.. John and Louisa
Beck, was badly burned this afternoon
about the face, neck and arms as
result Of her clothes catching on hre.
In some unaccountable way, the little
tot got a handful Of matches after par
ticuar pains had been taken during the
day 20 prevent her from satisfying hei
desire TO celebrate the Fourth. Nill
screams attracted members OF the
family, only 10 see the little glI4 a mass
Of flames. Her burning clothes were
extinguished by means Of the lawn
hose, and DR. Bower was Immediately
called. While little Felloe was ~
much pain after the accident, she was
perhaps equally shocked by the fright
The doctor could not say this afternoon
whether the burns are deep enough 20
leave lifelong scars, over which the
family is deeply anxious.

Permitted Two Men to Ride and They
Got His Money.
Charles City, Oct. 25.-Oscar Squires
a farmer who lives six miles from
this city, was robbed of $3.50, while
returning to his home from this
place. Squires had been to the city
with load of hogs, which he had
sold for $3.50, and drawing the money
from the bank he placed it in his hip
pocket and started for home. When
scarcely out of the city two men wear.
ing overalls and presenting all the
appearances of laborers, accosted hin.
and asked if they might have ride.
Their story was that they were going
into the country to get job husk.
ing corn. Having received permission
to ride with the farmer, one took his
seat at the side, while the other stood
behind the two men. Both men were
very talkative and kept the unsus
pecting farmer busy with the CONVEX
sation until at sharp turn in the
road they signified their intention of
going the other direction and left the
man, who drove on to his home. It
was not till he reached his place that
he discovered the money was missing
The back of his coat and his pocket
had been cut with knife and all tn,
contents OF his pocket taken. It is
believed that the crooks saw the
farmer come from the bank and laid
for him. Squires is young man just
starting out in his farming and his
loss, though it was small, was a Sc

DUN SULTAN TWICE \ MONTH.


United States to make Persistent Effort
to Collect Had Debit.
Washington, Oct. 29.--While Uncle
Sam is doing everything in his power
to collect from Turkey his bill fer
damages done to the property of the
American missionaries, no.move has
yet been made to send fleet of war
ships to Constantinople to collect
these claims at the muzzle of the
guns of the navy. Furthermore it IS
not believed that such vigorous meas
ures will be necessary, but that the
sultan can be prevailed upon to pay
by more pacific means.
The revenues of the Turkish gov
eminent are already parceled out in
such way that the sultan himself
has little to do with handling them,
and some of the custom houses of
Turkey are in the hands Of represen-
tatiyes of European governments.
For these reasons it would compli-
cate matters greatly if fleet of Uni
ted States warships should stop at
Constantinople and demand settle
ment.
Consequently Charge d'Affarires
Griscom at Constantinople has been
instructed to treat the sultan and his
government in the light of a bal
debtor and he has been directed to
call upon the government officials on
the first and fifteenth of each month
and present the claim.
This course will be pursued until
the sultan grows tired Of being inn
portuned and pays the claim and
gets rid of his persistent creditor.
