This book is departure from the usual

Ample margins are left on every page
for the reader to write his observations

so that the notes may be written in ink.
Mr.. Ingersoll's comments on the changes
OF nature throughout the year are very
instructive, being, as he says, q calendar

death and progeny, seed, blossom, fruit

to an. ordinary season about New York

President Angel of the University Of
Michigan, who was at one time United
States minister to China, in an article in
the Detroit Journal, pleads for the main
tenance OF Chinese integrity and expresses
strong sympathy with the Chinese as a
people. He attributes the present rising
to the encroachments of foreign powers,
and in this agrees with every other COM
Detent observer. "For years, many dec
AIDES, = he says, ''these people have begged
to be let alone. They have borne the in
suits cast upon them with fortitude, they
have seen their seaports wrestcd from
them one by one. until they have left but
one; they have had opium thrust down
their throat at the point of the bayonets
and every concession the Chin ese govern
ment has thus far granted, the other
nations of the world they have been
cOerced into granting.'' In the opinion
OF DIR. Angel the only safe course for the
powers to pursue in the present crisis is
to place the young emperor and the
national reform party in power. The
latter, he declares, contains men fitted
by birth and ability to administer the
affairs of the empire, TO the credit of
China, as well as to the credit of tho
world. = He believes that any attempt to
divide China would prove disastrous both
to China and the powers, for the foreign
governments could not maintain order in
SO vast territory. "The Chinaman

One disquieting feature among many
of the Chinese situation is the evident
lack of concord among the powers. At
lien Tsin the troops of each of the powers
seem to have fought largely on the re-
sponsibility of their own officers without
much intelligent cooperation with the
forces of the others. Furthermore differ
ences in language much complicated the
situation, and led to some costly mis-
takes. Had the Chinese peen better
trained and guided by intelligent officers
it is altogether likely that the allies
would have met with signal defeat and
disaster. 1t is evident enough that it the
allies are to make a successful campaign
in China there must be a single head to
the army, and cordial understanding and
cooperation among the troops of the
different nations, and this is a very diff
cult thing to bring about. The Japanese
are distrustful of the Russians and would
refuse probably to take orders from them.
while the Russians, and all the other
European powers as well, probably would
hesltate to put themselves under the com
mand OF a Japanese field marshal on ac-
count OF the difference in race. Yet mas
much as these two nations have the
largest forces on the ground to one of
them would seem to belong the CHIEF
command. A realization of the need. of

There was absolutely nothing in yester-
days dispatches to throw any additional
light on the Chinese situation. Not a
word came from the ministers. The CON
viction of all the European governments
is that they have been murdered. but our
government still continues to hope,
though the continued failure to get
any news is producing dependency
even there. There is certainly a good
deal more evidence to sustain the pes
simistic views Of foreign governments
than the hopefulness Of our own. Evident
'ly the Chinese government is extreme
ly anxious that the civilized powers
should believe that the ministers still live
1t is continually giving out assurances
that they are safe, but it stops short of
the conclusive evidence which a message
from any one of them would supply. The
natural and most obvious explanation Of
this is that it cannot furnish such a mes
sage because the only men who could
write it are dead. That is not the only
possible one, perhaps, but it is the one
that nearly all the civilized world be-
neves to be the true one.

We do not have to go to China to find
Boxers. The mob that murdered and ter
Iorized negroes In New Orleans were
guilty of quite as great savagery as the
Boxers, who have been footing and muir
dering in Chinese cities. And they had
less excuse for their conduct. The Boxers
have been lncensed against foreigners by
the rapacity of foreign nations But the
negroes of New Orleans are peaceful and
have never given the whites any cause to
hate them. They are being pursued and
shot down In their tracks for no other
reason than that they belong to a differ
emit race than their murderers Eventual
ly the Boxers are likely to be punished for
their crimes, but we venture to predict
that every one Of the white men who
COMPOSED the mob.that tsrrorized New Or
leans, and indiscriminately shot and beat
men with black skins will go scot free.

silver by emitting all reference to it in
the resolutions recently adopted in
ratification of the Kansas City nomina-

Silver cannot be sidetracked while Mr..
Bryan is the candidate. He is committed
to it personally because he believes in it,
and the convention which nominated him
committed him and the party to it by
making it specifically a part OF their
political creed, Furthermore the whole
western section of the Democracy are in
enthusiastic sympathy with, and would
desert the ticket en- masse if it were
dropped. Tammany will not be permit

1t seems the story that the Cuban
teachers now in this country were lik ely
to lose their positions by reason of the SO
called Varunna act in Cuba, and that
the pay Of all the teachers in that island
was to be reduced, was the outgrowth OF
misleading publications in the Havana
newspapers. 1t is pronounced by Gen
eral Wood, whose authority is unques-
t1onable, false in every essential particu-
lar. The salaries are not to be reduced
and the examination of most of the
teachers will take place the first of De-
cember, thus affording plenty Of time for
the teachers now in this country to re-
turn. Furthermore if there are then any of
the teachers still here they can take their
examination in this country 1t is true
that many of the teachers who
had heard the false statement of the
effect OF the decree were considerably
disturbed, but that they wers panic
stricken is great exaggeration.

wholesale business in Benton and

& For several weeks horse stealing has
become 80 notorious in that neighbor-
hood that this entire portion of Iowa
has become terrorized. The thefts were
boldly accomplished and audaciously
carried out. In most cases the animals
were sold near the place from which
they were stolen. The officers have been
hot on the trail OF the thieves in sew
eral places, but up to the present time
have been unable to accomplish any
thing and there has been strong talk of
organizing an old time vigilance COM
mittee.
81 IA few days ago the officers at Belle
Plaine received notice to be on the
lookout for q notorious character
named Jack Davis, who was alleged to
have stolen a horse at Watkins. Sum
day they discovered that the man had
gone to Chelsea and telephoned to the
officers there to hook out for and ar
rest him. Davis was caught in the act
OF selling another horse and buggy,
which had Just been stolen. Sheriff

Fort Dodge, Oct 2.---The Weiss dry
goods store. one of the. largest in the
city, suffered a loss of between $50 and
500 on Saturday night by large grey
hound which had in some way been
locked in the store. Sunday morning
one of the clerks opened one Of the
front doors and was greatly surprised
to find a large dog standing near the
door. The dog manifested disposition
to romp but the clerk was not in the
habit of indulging in frolics with
strange dogs. Shortly afterwards he
discovered that number of the most
valuable hats in the house had been
torn to pieces. Large and valuable
ostrich tips and expensive trimmings
had been torn into shreds. "A number
OF valuable hats in one of the windows
had been destroyed, but strange to say,
a considerable quantity of expensive
trimming velyets were untouched. An
inspection of another window revealed
track Of wreckage around wax
figure valued at $780, around which his
dogship had scampered without dam
age to the hguer.
