FOOD FOR THE THINKER.
How to Become Informed on
Public Questions.

No man can vote intelligently
unless he thinks intelligently. In
this time of "wars and rumors Of
wars" the greatest aid to intelli'
gent thinking and the best food
for intelligent thought is that
newspaper which is the greatest
and best. Important political is
sues are daily growing more i'm
portant. An intelligent under
standing of the policy Of the ma
ton or great political party is
something to be desired, and it is
the duty of every citizen to thor
oughly inform himself upon the
leading topics Of the day.
The Semi Weekly Republic is
the greatest Of all newspapers. Its
telegraphic and cable news service
excells that of any other paper. 1t
prints new news fully-not imagi-
native occurances, but domestic
and world-distaDt, fully authenti-
Gated facts. The policies of the
great political parties are now be-
ing discussed, Now is the time
to subscribe for the best medium
Of keeping in touch with the whole
world, the Semi Weekly Republic.
No less worthy OF attention is
the Republics Sunday magazine.
1t is replete each issue with the
best of special articles written by
by the best OF literary talent, Its
beautiful half.tone illustrations
have already made it famous, and
their quality and quantity will be
preserved. New features of ab-
sorbing attraction are illustrated
and enlarged upon in manner
equal to the high priced maga-
zines. Events of current interest
are set forth in entertaining style.
There is humor in it's pages, too,
and for the benefit of the ladies
the latest Paris fashions are each
week exquisitely illustrated and
described. The Republics Sun
day magazine is standard.
The subscription price of the
Semi Weekly Republic is 81 per
year. The Republic Sunday ma
gazine S1.25 per year. Both pa
pers are now being offered at the
very low price Of $1.25 per year.
To secure this low rate both must
be ordered and paid for at the
same time. Address all orders to

Allentown, Pa +, August 28.-The fire
in the mine at Summit Hin which has
been raging furiously the past week, has
broken into the Spring tunnel colliery
ana all efforts to prevent it's spread have
SO far proved unavaiIing. On account of
the heat and the attendant risk, the
force of fire fighters was compelled to
leave the mine. All operations at the
Spring tunnel coIIiery have ceased and
300 men and boys have been thrown out
of employment indefinitely The fire in
the Summit Hill mine originated forty
years ago and has since been burning the
coal steadily.

AKRON MOB STARTS FOR CLEvE-
LAND.
Cleveland, August Intelligence was
received here this aftern oon by the police
authorities that d mob of 800 men had left
Akron for Cleveland, bent on wreaking
vengeance on the head of Peck. for the
outrage of Wednesd day night.
The telephone message was sent BY the
son Of Chief of Police Harrison of Akron.
The excitement at the county jail was
intense at the time the Intelligence re-
garding the mob was received. Peck
begged the jail officials to obtain an i'm
mediate hearing and remove him from
the city to Columbus. He trembIed with
fear as he made the request. He said that
a life sentence was preferable to a trial
In Akron and wanted to throw himself
on the mercy of the court.
PECK CONFESSES HIS CRIME.
Cleveland, August 23.-A confession
was obtained from Louis Peck, the al
eyed Akron rapist, by Sheriff Barry, at
the county jail here today. Peck said he
had attempted to assault the girl and
was very sorry for it. He attributed his
act to liquor. He said he had been on a
spree for q month. Peck was fearful lest
no mag suffer from mob violence and be-
comes greatly agitated from any noise in
he jail.

Despatch Received From Gen.
Chaffee Would So Indicate.
Significance Of Germany's Reply to Re-
quest for Peace.

Adee stated that as the instructions re-
lated to pending affairs, it would be mex.
pedient to make public anything in ref.
erenee to them.
The United States has taken the lead
in replying to China that there viii be
no temporizing negotiations and there is
every reason to believe the powers win be
united in this same policy. The answer
OF the United States was quickly fol-
lowed today by similar action on the part
Of Germany, the Berlin foreign Office de
hvering to the Chinese minister an an
swer refusing to enter into negotiations
on the ground that there was no evidence
that Ii Hung Chang-s credentials gave
him sufficient power TO act and that
nothing short Of complete authority from
the responsible rulers Of China, the En-
peror and Empress Dowager, could be re
garded as sufficient Soon after this
action, at Berlin, the German charge
d'affaires, Baron Speck Won Sternburg,
was advised by cable and he called at the
State Department to inform the authori-
ties of Germany's course.
The Japanese officials expressed their
full conviction that Japan would take
similar action if indeed, such action al
ready had not been taken. The course of
France and Great Britain mas not been
made known here but there is thought to
be no doubt that these governments will
decline to treat with On ina at this time.
The United States acted entirely on It's
own ini iative and, as it has turned out,
acted first and in such way as to have
other governments take like action.
The German reply in one respect is re-
garded as having significance beyond that
of the United States in that it is based
on the theory that there can be no sover-
eign authority in China, other than that
emanating from the Emperor and Em-
press Dowager Among diplomatic otfic.
iaIs, this is said to be equivalent to an
assertion that the existing regime is to be
recognized and that there is no purpose
to set up any new administrative author
ity over China. While it is said that this
may not go to the extent of assuring the
continuance Of the present Manchu dy--
nasty, 1t at least discIoses no present pur.
pose to hold that the flight of the Empe-
ror and Empress Dowager is an abdica-
tion of the Manchu regime.

soldiers with fine cover. stubbornIy re-
sisted. The lighting was close and sharp.

proaches to the palace, narrowly missed

dltion to Captain Reilly are the follow

of the construction train; the confidence
which caused him to place officers and
men from his fleet under my personal
command; and his great kindness in per
mitting his overworked medical Ulcers
to care for our wounded, who were, I
am mortified to state, without the SER
vices of one of our own surgeons. Dur
ing the almost continuous engagements
with the enemy, Admiral Seymour was
constantly with the advance and so free
ly exposed himself that both his own
officers and mine feared lest we should
be deprived of his conspicuous skill in
directing our movements. 1t will be a
source of unqualified qualification to the
officers and men of the Newark who were
associated with Vice Admiral Seymour's
command If our own government would
offer this distinguished officer some ap-
propriate and tangible recognition of his
services to our nation.''
Capt. McCalla concludes his report by
asking that number of foreign officers
be offered medals for aiding the United
States forces in action.

off by the Chinese troops on the road and
forced to turn back from Yang Tsun, be-
ing in danger OF complete annihilation
before coming in touch with the rein
forcement sent out to meet them from
Tien Tsin.
Capt. McCalla in conclusion, says:
"Vice Admiral Seymour S knowledge
and ability are so eminent and his tact
and consideration so great and constant
that may say tnat the officers and men
of the eight nationalties were only too
pleased to execute his wishes which were
accepted in reality as orders; SO that the
two thousand seamen and marines un-
der his command, or associated with
him, became harmonious body actuat-
ed by but one purpose. But l should fail
altogether in my duty to a brother sea-
man, did not call to the attention of
the government the honor which Admi-
raj Seymour conferred upon our navy by
not hesitating to call upon the officers
from the Newark to assist his own
magnificent body of buleiackets and ma
rines, the esteem which he showed for
