Dessrt Lnrds That Have Been Redeemed.
Of recent years the vast desert

method of retaining the desert lands
has been put into. practice quietly,
but to the extent that to-day irriga-

down from the mountain regions in
the spring is preserved in huge reser-
voirs and given 70 the thirsty land in
small quantities. during the summer.
BY tLis means the lanl can always be
kept moistened and there is no fear
that the. crops will dry up through

Miraculous Escape of n Boy.

BEATRICE, Neb., Aug. 20.-If any
thing more miraculous ever occurred
than an accident which happened here,
those who witnessed it will doubt it
even if told. A team attached TO a
pump repair wagon was running away.
On the wagon were two WhitcOmb
boys, the youngest about seven years
old. Crossing the street was a Rock
Island freight train. The fiagman saw
the team coming and so cid Agent
Karstens, who was at the crossing,
and both attempted to flag the team,
but the horses were unmanageable ard
couldn't be stopped. The result was
one of the most complete smashups
that can be imagined. The train
struck the wagon squarely and not
even a spoke was left intact. Every
one in sight expected both occupants
OF the wagon would surely be killed,
but a few moments after the wagon
was struck the youngest boy crawIed
out from under the debris. He had a
cut on the chin which later had to be
seWed up, but aside from this lie was
U~ninjured except for some bruises. His
brother only sustained a slight cut on
the thigh and the horses escaped with
out a scratch.

The TERMS or PEACE.
United States VIII Insist Upon Many
Things From China.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-A cabinet
official said today that unquestiOnabiy
the native Christians in China, said to
number several thousand, will be in
Guided in any arrangement made be
tween this government and China incl
dent to the cessation of hOstilities. At
the present stage of the Chinese situa-
ton this situation has not been seri-
Cusly discussed by the cabinet, but
there is no doubt, according to this
member, that the United States Is
honor bound to protect them and will
sacredly look out for their security.
What will be lone with them he
was asked.
That has not been decided, but rest
assured hat in their disposition the
honor of the United States will be fully
preserved. 1t may be arranged for
them to go to the Philippines or II
of many other places available.
1T was stated that while the matter
has not been formally discussed the
indemnity to be collected will be not
only for the families of the victims,
but to compensate this government for
the expense it has been put to In sup

italian Advices Are to the Eject tina
Siege Was Begun on Monday.

LONDON, Aug. IA cablegram to
Vienna from Hong Kong announces
the capture Of Pekin, but the Austrian
government, like other European pow
ers, is still without confirmation Of
this report. An official telegram,
dated Taku, August IA, has been re-
ceived at Rome. It asserts hat the
attack ON Pekin began Monday, that
Sir Claude Mcdonald, the British min
lister, had opened COMMUNICATION with
the relieving force and that the allies
have established their headquarters at
Tung Chow.
Chinese officials in Shanghai are re-
ported as admitting that the allies
inflicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese
imperial troops around Tung Chow
Sunday and then marched direct to
Pekin. This, II true, carries the Jap
anese official advices announcing the
capture Of Tung Chow II step fur

Western powers, according to a dis
patch to the Daily Express from Kobe,
have accepted the proposals formu-
lated by Japan for arranging an armis-

delivery of the foreign legations to
the allies or of the granting of per-
mission to the allied forces to enter
Pekin and to guard the legations.
Upon three bases the correspondent
says Japan has already begun to ne
gotiate.
Shanghai dispatches declare that
the Chinese had intended to make a
final attack upon the legations last
Sunday, but whether the plan was car
ried out is not known there.
From the same place comes the
statement that Vice Admiral Seymour
and Brigadier General Creah have
Joined in the protest against the with
drawal of the British troops. All the
morning papers, which comment on
the subject, appeal to Lord Salisbury
not to withdraw them and dilate upon
the serious results of such an action
to British prestige.
American negotiations looking to a
cessation of hostilities also receive
considerable attention, favorable and
otherwise, but all the editorials agree
that too precipitate a withdrawal
from Pekin after the delivery of the
legations would have a bad effect upon
the Chinese minds.

MATTER or AN MNlTY.
Chinese VIII BE Required to support the
Families OF Their Victims.
WASHINGTON, Aug. ia hi,

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia high
government official said today that
the indemnity which the United
States would demand for every Ameri-
can citizen killed or manned by the
Chinese during the present trouble
would be sufficient to support their
families for the remainder of their
lives.
This government does not want a
province, a town, a village or a sin
gle square foot of Chinese territory
as indemnity" said the official, who
Is close to the president. There Ia
but one indemnity which they can
give our people, and that is a none
tary indemnity TO the families of
their American victims. For every
II of these China must pay a sufti-
cient sum to keep their families from
want during their lives. This govern
men will exact assurances Of a salts
factory character that such a state OF
affairs as now exists in China shall
not occur again. The nature of these
will be determined later.
The collection of indemnity may prove
difficult and it may be decided, al
though so far the proposition has not
been considered, to station war ships
in the harbors of the principal cities
and officials within these cities to
watch the revenue and protect the
interests Of the United States, If need
be, by taking charge of such revenues
and reserving some portion of them
to apply to the indemnity.
I'm addition to requiring assurances
Of a restoration of order and the
strictest precautions to prevent a sim
liar state of affairs in the future, a
small body of troops may be necessary
to protect the officials stationed in
these ports. If this plan should be
adopted the different allies doubtless
will cooperate.
Effort will be made, of course, TO
trace the responsibility for the recent
o%utrages, but it will be a difficult task,
as there will be little disposition
among the Chinese to tell the truth,
especially when it would implicate one
of their number. The Chinese cannot
be punished Unfortunately for the
atrocities, but wherever such Offense
is fixed On IN individual, high or low,
his punishment will be required. If it
can be shown that orders for hostili-
ties were issued by the empress dow
ager or the emperor. their deposition
is certain and another government
will be set up. If Tuan is proved to
have ordered the outrages, the sever
est punishment may be accorded
him."

The Prime REQUISITES.

ct must constantly be borne in
mind" asserts President Hadley, of
Yale, that the training of the free
citizen is not SO much a development
of certain lines of knowledge as a de-
velopment of certain essential qualities
of character and habits of action.
Courage, discipline and holiness of
purpose are the things really neces-
sary for maintaining a free govern
ment. If a citizen possesses these
qualities of character, he will acquire
the knowledge which is essential to
the conduct of the country's institu-
tons and to the reform of the abuses
which may arise"

will pay the salaries of all the teach

be courses on general mechanical lines,
besides thorough training in shop

proposes to make his gifts during his
lifetime, so that he may direct more
satisfactorily the expenditure of his
money.
