CALLED HIN A BOXER.
An IncspIent Antl-chInese Riot At
Quong chOng's Laundry.

Quong Chong keeps a laundry on Free
street. He is a good Cinnamon and does
not profess to be pugilist or even a
Boxer. Saturday night a woman con-
siderably the worse for wear, dropped in
upon him and asked for her laundry.
Ouong Chong, who is called John for
snort, handed it out to her over the conn
ter and taking the pink slip from the end
of the package told her in pigeon Eng
Iish that 3 cents must be paid on it.
The woman said the Chinaman was
thief and q robber John protested and
tried to explain The woman began to
shout and called the Chinaman every
thing she could think of. She said she
hoped his nation of cut threats would
all be at work on an eternal contract
with Satan within a few days. The
crowd outside believing this was good
opportunity to get into the game, began
to call John Boxer and threatened to
pull down his laundry. John became
excited and lost his command of English.
He held tenaciously to the package, how
ever, and demanded the % cents. Finally
the demonstration without the laundry
became SO great that the woman feared
she had precipitated an anti Chinese riot
and handed over the quarter and disap-
peared. The crowd was not satisfied, and
some Of the drunken loafers in the gather
ing were working themselves up into a
high state of excitement over nothing
when Patrolman Arthur Sawyer hap
pened along. lie put an end to the row
in short order and sent the mob away
to find some other game. Patrolman

SCENERY SOLD.
II served as the Setting for Many War
Thine Drama.

For many years Bosworth Post, G A.
r., one Of the leading Grand Army posts
in this country, has owned q set of seen
cry which has been used in City hall.
When Portland had no theatre this seem
cry of the G. A. r.. was used and many
distinguished actor and many nota-
bic production has been witnessed in this
building. In fact for some years, 1t was
the only place in the city where drama
requiring large stage could be given,
and before the jefferson was built this
scenery was in use several times each
week But with the new opera house
the demand Tor the scenery fell Off con-
siderably and in the last two years it
has only been used once or twice. In
1894 the post purchased an entirely new
set of scenery and built new stage for
City hall There was given Injured
Innocence" by Portland amateurs, Ha-
wall and many other noted produc-
tions OF local origin There also the post
gave such war dramas as the Drum
mer Boy, the Union Sergeant, f" and
many others In which the talent was all
from Portland and the productions
equalled those which are now seen on
the professional stage.
All OF this is now at an end. A day
or two ago Bosworth post sold all Of its
scenery in City hall to people in Liver
more Falls, who have just completed a
new opera house. The stage settings
cost Bosworth Post $500, and the Liver
more Falls people paid $500 for them.

theatrical productions in the future,
and with the exception OF the May Day
carnival, which is given every year by
the Bosworth Relief Corps, and such at
fractions as come along with fairs and
things of that SORT, City hall Will be used
almost exclusively for lectures. dances
and public meetings and exhibitions.
Bosworth Relief Corps has made thous-
ands of dollars since its organization TO
aid the G. A. r. post with which it is
connected in helping the poor and IN car
. ing for the sick. Bosworth Relief corps
was organized May 6, 1869. Since that

books that Sc, $3.50 has been raised by
this organization. OF this amount SILL

women raised third of the sum required
for the construction of the monument,

Our Baptist Citizenship.

The following is quoted from
the Columbia Missouri Herald:
The statement will not be con-
tradicted that the Baptists are fair
ly representative of the best citi-
zenship Of Missouri. In all de-
partments, political, social, educa-
tional and commercial they may be
found bearing their share of pub
lie and private burdens and dis
charging their duties equally with
others in the places of trust and
usefulness. They are confined
neither to the city nor country.
They are not dudes. Neither are
they illiterates. They are typical
Missourians. OF their history they
have no reason to be ashamed.
They have been here since Daniel
Boone crossed the Mississippi, and
were among those who blazed the
pathway of progress and have
marched with it. In numbers they
are exceeded by one Protestant de-
nomination. In church houses
and in education they have as much
if not more than two millions OF
dollars invested, and in the vari,
Gus departments of mission work
they eXpend about forty thousand
dollars annually. The contribu-
tiOnS to all purposes are about one
half million dollars annually
They have over LOO Sunday
schools, with total attendance o
1000, of whom nearly one-tentl
are teachers.

Eat These Thoughts.

Maybe you'll live longer and
surely you'll enjoy life better.
They are from physical Culturc:'
1t is well known 70 the few med.
zeal men that many cases of inSan-
lty are directly due to OyCrcatiug
and the consequent absorption in
to the circulation of toxic matters
from the intestinal tract; and mel
ancholia, whether in mild orscvere
form, is generally due to this
cause. Violent paroXysms of tenn
per, whether in children or adults,
are often properly referablc to IL
bad state of the blood from this
O-tONcmia, as is indeed the cX-
cccdingly cXubcrant spirits of old
on young, at times; just rs we OBJ
serve in alcoholic poisoning, some
individuals are made temporarily
jolly and good uaturcd; others are
made ugly and unreasonable. In
view of this condition of affairs
isn't it rather ii wise plan for MS
all to consider rather the needs of
the organism for food than the
mere question of palatc-tickling;
!
to aim to eat good instead of bad
| food and enough of it-that is.
not too much; to have the condi-
tions about right when we eat our
meals; in brief, to try and treat
our bodies dccently, even tho We
act from Il purely sensual point of
view! In no other way can we
secure the highest possible degree
of pleasure ON the average, while
by acting thus Scnsibly we may
enjoy the practical immunity from
disease.
The more exercise we take un-
der proper conditions the more we
are exposed TO the cold and the
clearer we keep from excess in clo-
| thing the more we may eat, hence,
in order 10 enjoy the fullest meas
IRE of table pleasures, we must live
actively, wear as little clothing rs
is consistent with comfort snd do
considerable "roughing'-Somc-
times called hardening With all
this we should take our meals ut
times when the body or brain is
not ovcr-tircd and when we have
leisure 10 digest And, of all
things, we should never eat unless
hungry; TO eat without an appc-
titc is sclf-abusc of the most stu
pid sort, since it affords no pleas
urc and is productive of disease.

MARK TWAIN, "
" FIRST MISSOURIAN.

Mark Twain landed at New
York last week after several years
sojourn in Europe, and announces
that he will vote for Bryan.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch po-
ct welcomes him back to his native
land in the following gushing vein:
Thou first Missourian, frcc-and-
easy Mark, back from thy liugcr-
ing European lark, we hail thee
homc-our loud hoSmnas bark!
70 native shores we bid thee
welcome back, new laughs to gen
crate, new jokes to crack, and east
thy vote for Bryan stead of Mack
Tho long Il Yankee of Connect
cut, we know that from thy heart
thou hast not shut Missouri, of
thy later jokes the butt.
We know that Times relentless
tooth hath gnawcd thy youth IL
way, O Innocent Abroad! whilst
thou with kings and queens hast
joked and jawed.
But still to us who hold thee as
our own, thou art the sclf-samc
Samuel we have known these sixty
years thy jovial eyes have shown.
And still we love thee for that
thou hast told, that mid the dross
of life there still is gold, and
whilst we gather it we grow not
old.
For with Tom Sawyer still we
all are boys, high jinks contriving,
adolescent joys inventing, filing
earth and sky with noise.
And still some of us have the
hapless luck to wear old duds and
bum our bed and chuck, like that
immortal waif, thy care free Huck.
Tho some mayhap have made Il
lucky hit, and high in commerce
or in council sit, the push, with
thee, is mainly roughing it.
With prince and paupcr thou
hast wept and laughed, beer of
Bohemia, wine of luxury quatfed,
prince of good fellows, king of
writing craft.
So here's to thee, tramp, print
er, pilot, wit, and may thy days be
long, thy nights be lit with mirth
till thou among the immortals sit!
Age cannot wither thee nor Gus

ry Quip and tale; wherefore, old

According to the st. Louis Re-

kinson, who resides in st. Louis,

her husband with wife abandon
donment. The warrant was not
issued on account Of the husband
not being a resident of the State.
She fears the husband may apply
for and secure a divorce from her
unawares. Mrs. Atkinson had a
trial in the Audrain Circuit Court
recently charging her parents in
law, Mr.. and Mrs. j. NJ. Atkinson,
residing near Worcester, this coun-
ty, with alternating her husband $
affections, securing a verdict for
5000, but the case has been ap-
pealed.
