The will of VIM. White which

The will of VIM. White which
was recently probated in Philadel-
phia, runs as follows:
All my earthly goods have in store
leave to my beloved wife Ashtore:
And give all freely without any limit,
AS this is my will from this very minute.
BY way Of a prefix
She is my executrix.
Northport Laac Notes.
-"On to Pekin" is now the battle
cry that stirs the whole world. From
Tien Tsin comes news almost as de-
pressing as the massacre at Pekin.
Shanghai is besieged by thousands
CT yellow devils, ready at the first
opportunity to repeat the horrible
slaughter of christian people. We
can not assume any longer that Chi
ma as nation is blameless for the
anti-foreign war being waged by her
people and her army. The diplo-
matte fiction that China is on friend
ly terms with the rest of the world
no longer deceives. That the Chi
nese government is still Withholding
the worst of the story in order to gain
time for the concentration of their
forces around Pekin and Shanghai is
clearly evident. That the govern
ment could have sent out the news
of the massacre as easily as it sent its
disclaimer of responsibility to its
foreign representatives is beyond a
doubt. Her declaration of friendli-
ness has become an intOlerable lie.
China is a maniac among the ma
tions, and is not amenable to moral
suasion. She will have to be over
powered, and that will he found no
easy task, for she has the brute
strength of third of the worlds
population and the frenzy Of a luna
tic.

A BRYAN CONVERT.
O'Brien, of San Francisco, De-
clares for Democrats.

Chicago. Aug. 22.-The Republican at
titude on the Boer question and impe-
rialism has caused Thomas O'Brien, Of
San Francisco. one of the most promi-
nent Irish-American Republicans on the
Pacific coast, to declare for Bryan and
Stevenson In a letter to the Demo-
cratic national committee yesterday he
places his services at the disposal of
the party managers during the cam
paign- He viii make speeches in some
of the larger cities, both east and west.
Mr. O,Brien was a Republican cand1-
date for congress in 1896 in the Fourth
district of California His oratory
widely extended his reputation as a
public speaker. and he made an excel
lent record, running ahead of Mckinley
in the district, but was defeated by a
small majority. In the Irish natioalist
movement he was a prominent leader
and to this antipathy to the Engnsn
can be traced his turning from the Re-
publican party.
A great pro-Boer meeting that was
being held June 3 in the Metropolitan
temple of San Francisco drew such a
crowd that more than half those VINO
wished were unable to make their way
inside the auditorium 1t was suggest
ed that an overflow meeting be held on
the steps of the United States mint OPP
posite the temple and a spot often used
for such gatherings.
Superintendent of the Mint Frank S.
Leach objected, however, to this appro-
pf1aIlO0 OF the IeuGTdl pu1lu1uS III Tic
interest of the struggling South African
republics and called upon the crowd
to move on While yet they heSitated
at this order, Mr.. O'Brien came to the
front, insisted upon an exercise of his
rights as an American citizen and called
the meeting to order. Mr.. Leach count
cred by ordering a police officer to ar
rest the friend of the Beers. Mr..
O'Brien was taken to jail He refused
to offer bonds, but the indignation
aroused by the arrest was so great that
he was released without being brought
to trial. He began suit for damages
against Mr.. Leach for false imprison-
ment and received an award of $25,OOO
Mr.. O'Brien's oratorical abilities are
well known in the east, where in 1884
he stumped New York state for Blaine

EDWARDS RANCH SOLD
Bought BY z. @. Shenk For $14,5OO
in Cash.

The Edwards ranch near Silver Lake
has been bought by E. c. Shenk for
the sum of $500. Mr.. Shenk is a
farmer living near Silver Lake. The
deal was cash one, the money being
all paid at one time. This is the larg-
est real estate deal that has been made
in this county for a considerable time
The Edwards ranch is a pretty piece
of land containing $50 acres, 300 of
which is rich bottom land. Four hum
dred acres more are under cultivation.
The place was bought by Mr.. Edwards
about twenty years ago, who spent a
considerable sum in improving the
place. OF this perhaps the largest
amount was expended in building the
16-room house. Besides this there is a
large barn, 60x6O feet, and an ice house.
About this place hangs story. A
great many years ago some cattle be-
longing to a farmer near the Edwards
place became loose and wandered to the
Edwards place. Here they were taken
up, and when the owner wanted them
without paying for damages there was
trouble. Bound to secure his stock he
brought all his hired help over to take
forcible possession of the cattle, and
in the melee which followed one man
was killed.

MADE A MISTAKE.
Idle Mechanics Went to Work in
Chicago PrematureIy.

Chicago, Aug. 22.-Unless the plans of
the leaders miscarry every union man
connected with the Building Trades coun-
Gil will be called out on strike before
Labor Day The plumbers have already
been ordered out and it is the intention
that all other unions whose men are
working shall follow suit. Owing to IN
creased activity in the building trades
within the last few days many union men
have been put to work, in some places
with the consent of the business agents.
and it is the purpose of the unions to stop
the work wherever the bosses believed
they had won q victory and show them
that the labor organizations are stilI IN
the fight.
The business agent of one of the larg-
est unions in the building trades said:
1.-THE contractors have come to believe
that it is comparatively easy sailing for
them now. and accordingly have been IN,
dertaking some large jobs with the 1dea
that there would be further trouble
from the unions. They will find that many
of the men whom they supposed TO De
non-union men have become members OF
the unions and they will simply be unable
to do any work. It is the only thing that
is left for the unions. unless they propose
to give up their fight. The idea of helping
the contractors along in their jobs has
been mistake which is generally recog-
nfzed now, and they will find there IS a
lot of fight left among the men yet.

MAD. DOGS AT LARGE.
Three Boys Bitten Seriously by En-
ragged Animals at Harveyville.

Harveyville, Kas., Aug. 22.-Bruce
Turner, son of John Turner, was ia
ken to Strong City last evening to have
a maidstone applied to the wounds of a
dogs bite which he received Sunday
evening.
Several weeks ago a mad dog ran
through the town biting several other
dogs and some stock. All of the ca
mines known to have been bitten were
either killed or chained up to await
further developments. Sunday evening
while the citizens of Harveyvflle werfs
at worship TWO dogs suddenly appeared
at the church with foa1ning mouths
swapping and snarling in vicious rage.
A crowd of small boys near the church
made a dash to escape but three were
seriously bitten before they could do
So The animals then disappeared.
Services were quickly disbanded and
the wounds Of the boys cauterized while
a crowd went in search Of the canInes
Last night young Turner'S wounds
seeemd so serious that he was taken to
Strong City to have a maidstone at that
place applied.
