nent teacher IN this county, was mar
ried at Atchison, Ksns on Wednes-
day. May 80, 1900, to Mr.. Jas. RoI-

attended by q very large audience of
sympatizing friends. The Baptist

date the throngs of people. Music

man. MIR. Irwin made a very sppro-
pirate address. The floral decorations
were most elaborate and consisted of
pillows, stars and wreaths of beauti-
full flowers. The procession to the
grave was very long and was headed
by the band, which discoursed sad
music. At the cemetery short SER
vices were held, the band playing a
dirgs. The audience was dismissed

RAN FOR THEIR LIVES.
Officers Escape from the Burning
City Building.


Akron, o., Aug. %, 1 a. m.-An the
officers who have been penned up in
the city building for two hours, es-
capped through a rear window and ran
for their lives. The mob is yet firing
on the city building, and the militia
has been called for. One fireman
whose name can not be learned, was
shot, and he will die. The mob is now
making for the firemen, and as fast
as the lines of hose are stretched they
are cut.
Arthur E. Sprague has just been
carried from the street, shot in the
head.
1t is thought that no less than a
dozen people have been wounded in
the midnight attack on the city build
ing. The mob has now commenced to
cut the electric light wires.
Thousands of people are yet gath
ered in the neighborhood of the city
building. The mob that broke into
the Standard hardware store was
made up mostly of boys, who carried
away hundreds of rifles and much
other property.
A half dozen prisoners are confined
in the city prison, and they may per-
ish unless they are soon released.
The Mob Use Dynamite.
1:45 a. m.-Dynamite is now being
used in frat of the city building. The
first charge, just fired, smashed all
the windows in the city building, and
did much other damage. All prisoners
have been released from the city pris-
on. The crowd threatens to destroy
the city building with dynamite.

COUNTING AND TABULATING.
Rapid Progress Being Made by the
Census Bureau-New Feature
of the enumeration

Washington, Aug. 23.-The census
bureau is making rapid progress in
the counting and ~tabulation of the
returns from the $4,000 enumerators
who took the population of the coun-
try. The count of each enumerator
is comprised in a single portfolio, and
out of $4,000 all but 500 are in. The re-
turns from 10000 enumeration dis
tricts have been counted by cards,
and the population of $4,000 of these
districts has been tabulated in detail.
Of the army of enumerators over
forty thousand have had their ac-
counts paid and closed; 942 cards, rep
resenting 942,6 s1 people, wer counted
at the bureau yesterday, and by Sep
TENDER / it is said that over a million
people will be counted daily.
The present census viii show, for
the first time, the color of occupant
and tenure CT occupany of farms in
addition to values of farm improve
ments and acreage of the different
products. fhis will be interesting
from a sociological standpoint.

WANT BRITISH PROTECTION.
Claim that tbs Police OF New York
Joined With and Urged ON
the Mob.

New York, Aug. 25.-Mr. NJ. S. N.
Pierre. of SIS West Forty-irst street,
a negro from British Guiana and POS
of his fellow British subjects, have
prepared a petition to Hon. Percy
~Sanderson, British consul, asking him
to take the necessary steps for their
protection.
The petition alleges that the sign
ers were brutality attacked by the moi
in the recent riots in this city, and
that the police, instead of giving them
protection, actually urged and melted
the mob to greater fury.
The consul is reminded that the
signers, as subjects of her Britannia
majesty, have been educated to re-
spect law and order and the legally
constituted authorities, and if per-
mitted will do so. They believe. how
ever, that there is not adequate pro-
lection afforded to them under the
present circumstances.
The grand jury examined a dozen
colored men yesterday who claim to
have been abused by the police in the
recent riots.

ACCEPT NEW CONDITIONS.
Chinese yiceroys willing to accept the
Situation and Lend Their
Aid for Peace.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The first as
surances reached here yesterday that
the powerful Chinese viceroys were
disposed to accept the new condition
in China, and would assist in the
maintenance of peace. The informa-
ton came in a dispatch through Dip
lomatic channels, and stated that one
Of the foreign officers had received a
telegram from two of the most pow
erful central viceroys stating that
they intended to give their best eff
forts to maintain quiet throughout
the central portions of China.
AS this assurance came subsequent
TO the capture of Pekin, it is regarded
as a favorable sign of disposition of
the viceroys, whose authority in the
interior is very great. Their course
has been watched with much concern
by officials, for, since Pekin is in a
chaotic condition the most influential
authority in the empire is that Of the
yiceroys.

A project is on foot 20 connect tho

Official figures recently compiled
show the main line mileage of mali

The Southern Railroad company OF
Italy is going to have built is locomo-

cars, and 1000 freight cars. Foreign
concerns will be allowed to compete.
Tt is considered very doubtful if the
Pennsylvania railroad viii adopt
nickel-steel rails for the points of sc.
we're service. Atthe famous Horseshoe
curve the nickel steel rails have been
replaced by those of the ordinary steel
type. for it was found that the rails
diminished the tractive power of the
engines on account of their hardness.

A curious railway accident occurred
in India lately. While a train was in
Ruxaul station a terrific storm COM
menced, and, although the brake was
applied in the van and the engine, the
force of the wind was such that the
train was driven along the line. The
engine dashed through the buffer stop
at the end of the line. and travelled
along about six lengths of rail laid
end to end without fishplate fasten-
ings. After leaving these rails the en-.
CINE plowed along the embankment
and then came fortunately to a stand
still, no great damage having been
done.

ENGINEERING NOTES..

The tensile strength of a wet rope
is only o~ne-third the strength of the
rope when dry, while a rope saturated
with grease or soap is weaker still.
A cap nut lock for propellers has
been invented by Capt. Lewis Davis, of
Liverpool, and is intended to prevent
the loss of blades at sea, says the En-
gineer.
A German method of constructing
large balance wheels for high peri.
pheral speeds consists in making the
rim by winding a rectangular section
steel wire On a cast iron spool.
A raft of remarkable size was
started down the Mississippi river
from Saltwater, Mimi, for st. Louis,
Mo. The raft is $50 feet wide, 76s
feet long, contained 100000 feet Of
lumber and has loaded on its deck &C
a loads of shingles.
The engineer in charge of the i'm.
provement of the Yellowstone park
denies that the geysers T approach
ing extinction. An article to this eff
feet appeared in a French paper and
was widely copied throughout the
United States. 1t tends to create an
impression that the Yellowstone won.
derland, as far as regards the hot
springs and geysers, is practically a
thing of the past.
In a paper on Ely Wheel Elk
plosions' read before the American
Association for the Advancement OF
Science. the author, Mr.. c. H.. Man
ming, gave some figures relating to
wood-rimmed wheel for this purpose.
He stated hat for the same weight,
pine wood has a much more tensile
strength than cast iron, and is, there
fore, much safer for a fly wheel. An ex
%perience of ten years with many such
fly wheels has satisfied him that for en-.
gines running at a speed OF 100 revo-
lutions per minute or less, a properly
constructed wood-rimmed wheel is
much the safer.
