the Moscow correspondent of the
Standard, "of horrible massacre at
Blagovestichensk, which was I'M
doubtedly carried out under direct or
ders from the Russian authorities and
which then let loose the tide OF
slaughter through Amur. The entire
Chinese population of 5000 souls was
escorted out of town to a spot five
miles up the Amur and then, being
led in patches of few hundreds to
the river bank, was ordered to cross
over to the Chinese side. No boats
were, provided and the river is mile
wide. The Chinese were flung alive
into the stream and were stabbed or
shot at the least resistance, while
Russian volunteers, who lined the
bank, dubbed or shot any who at
tempted to land. Not one escaped
alive. The river bank for miles was
strewn with corpses.''

AEBEKER.s LITTLE JOKE.
A Democrat Got Hold OF the Executive
Reins In Utah for , Few Hours and
FrIghtened Republicans.

Salt Lake City. Sept. 21.-Utah re-
publican officials and politicians had
a scare when they found that Gov.
Wells and Secretary of State Ham
mond had left the state administra-
ton in the hands of a democratic
acting governor by leaving the state
to meet Gov. Roosevelt at Pocatello,
Ida. Under the statutes Aquila Nebek-
er, president of the state senate, is
acting governor. When Mr.. Nebeker
discovered that Wells and Hammond
were out of the state, he appointed
Judge o. w. Powers United States
senator to fill the vacancy occasioned
by failure to elect a senator at the
last session of the legislature. Then
he proceeded to announce changes in
the gubernatorial staff and make up
of6cialdom generally. Mr.. Nebeker
is a prominent cattleman with the
cowboys fondness for a joke and does
not view his own meteoric career as
governor very seriously, but his po-
litical opponents were seriously
alarmed until they learned that his
term ended shortly after noon, when
Gov Wells reached Utah soil again,
and proceeded to annul all of Nebek-
er'S acts.

KANSAS NEWS OF RECENT DATE.
WIN EMPLOY Kansas Labor.

In the future all freight equipment
for the Rock Island railroad system
will be constructed in the shops of the
company at Horton. This will not
only include tie building of all new
freight equipment, but likewise refers
to the repairing of old equipment as
may be required. This money Will go
to Kansas men and to support Kansas
people and industries. Some idea of
the magnitude of this order may be
gotten from the fact that the Horton
shops of the Rock Island are as com
plete and are as large as any railroad
shops in the west, and employ hun
-dreds of men in their various depart
ments. During the past eight months
there have been built at the Horton
shops over 1000 new cars, complete
from the track up. At the present
time the shops are working on an or
der for 500 cars and are turning them
out at the rate of six cars a day. In
addition to this new work there is an
immense amount of repairing and
aoverhauling, due to heavy traffic on
the system.
