Too Hard.

A petition was presented to tho
board of county commissioners of Nc
Henry county asking aid for starving
settlers i'll the Russian settlement south
of Bush lake. Tho petition showed
that some 10 persons are in actual
need Of help and that half dozen or
more families are without food of any
kind and in sore distress. These people
arc new settlers, many Of them coming
to tho country last spring, while few
of them have been here little over Il
year. They came here without money
expecting to bo able to raise garden
and some grain, but owing to the very
dry weather in that section Of tho coun-
try they havo received but little from
tho Gown seed. The destitute people
arc not confined to that county alone,
but Mclean has her share of them. A
few of the settlers have small pieces of
flax, but even with crop of flax it will
bo weeks before they can realize any
thing from the samo. Already two
children have died from starvation and
others are in need of life sustaining food.

imperial government is putting forth
the. most powerful efforts to secure
through negotiation tho abandonment
of the international movement upon
Pekin. The cablegrams received at the
state department. from Earl Ii
Hung Chang all tend to demonstrate
his desire to secure tho succor of the
ministers at Pekin and their de.
livery at Tien Tsin if this can be safely
effected, trusting that in return the i'll
ternational column can be halted. Un-
questionably proper assurance of the
safe delivery of tho ministers would
have some effect upon the temper of the
powers, and it is possible that the
United States government would give
ear to the overtures in that direction
were not the
Attempt Made by the Chinese
to impose conditions upon the delivery
that are altogether Objectionable. Such,
for instance, is Il stipulation that the
Chinese imperial authorities shall bo
absolyed in advance from the conse-
qucnccs Of the attempt, and for liability
for what has taken place in Pekin. The
first stipulation might be. regarded as
direct invitation to tho Boxers to mur.

will leave it to Mr.. Conger himself
whether or not he regards it as safe to
leave Pekin when tho opportunity is
