the cruel hand of death was that of Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. Miller. Monday evening
after brief attack from some child s
complaint, the summons came that
robbed them of their first born, the
object in which all their affection was
centered. To them the blow was severe
one, and many dayiwill pass before
they will be able to realize that the little
one has gone to life that is brighter
and better, The sympathies of their
friends will be unable to lighted the
heavy burden that has befallen them,
and yet this is all we poor mortals can
offer them in their hour of bereavement
aud hope that their faith in Him ''who
doeth all things well'' will help them
bear it.

what human hands cannot.
Last Saturday afternoon, after weeks
of hopes and fears the dread summons
came that called home the youthful
spirit of Master Berkeley the 9-year-old
son of DR.. and Mrs. Parchman. Every
thing that skilled treatment and careful
nursing could do had been done to win
him back to health, and more than ours
the hopes of parents and relatives had
been raised, But it WAS not to be, and
Sunday his youthful form was laid to
rest in beautiful Fairview accompanied
by hosts of sorrowing friends. The
much afflicted parents have the sympathy
of the entire community.

The preliminary investigation of ir-

TROOPS FOR CHINA.
Miles Recommends That They be Sent
From Manila.

Washington, July 16.-General Miles
had an extended conference this after
noon with the secretary Of war con-
corning the dispatch Of reinforcements
to China. No statement could be Sc
cured as to the result OF the confer
ence. but 1t is understood that Gener-
al Miles strongly urged that the troops
be withdrawn Immediately from the
Philippines, SO that a large army could
be thrown into China within compare
lively few days, instead Of awaiting
the slow processes Of assembling an ar
my in this country and Cuba and get
ting it to China. The troops in the
Philippines could make the trip across
to China in about a week, while the
dispatch of troops from this country
will take clearly a month and the men
can hardly be in the field until Sep
TENDER.
Notwithstanding General Miles rec
ommendation, the apparent policy is
10 onward the troops TO China from
this country and Cuba as fast as they
can be assembled. With the sending
Of 5000 of 10000 men, provision
doubtless will be made for an officer
of high rank to take command Of this
force. General Miles has recommend
ed Major General Bates, who command
ed a brigade with credit in Cuba, to
be placed In command. He is now in
the Philippines and could readily reach
the field Of action.
The disposition, however, is toward
sending an officer from this country,
and as the conditions are SO rapidly
expanding, General Miles is frequent
ly referred to as likely to assume COM
mand Of the American forces in the
Orient.

SEYMOUR SHOT HIS WOUNDED.
Preferred to be Killed Than Left to the
Torture of Chinese.

New York, July ia dispatch to
the Journal from Tien-Tsin, July s,
says: Intellectual Attempts have Leen
| made to conceal the horrible fact hat
shoot his own wounded during the re-
lief expedition.
All the wounded and prisoners who
fell into the hands of the Chinese were
frightfully tortured.
The bodies of two marines, who were
captured by the Chinese were recover
ed.
They had been cut into pieces. First,
the eyes had been hacked out, then
death ended the sufferings of the poor
fellows.
When Admiral Seymour, IN his re-
treat, found himself so hard pressed
that he was unable longer to carry his
wounded with him he asked them:
Which do you prefer, to be left to
the mercies of the Chinese or be shot
by your own comrades"
AS the admiral put the question the
tears were running down his cheeks.
I'VE prefer death to torture. Shoot
us now, that We may die like men,"
was the piteous response of the hope
less men.
A firing squad was told off and,
while the little allied force stopped
and beat off with gun fire the Chinese
horde hat surrounded it, inside its
lines an act OF mercy was performed
as the firing squad carried out its Or
ders.
A few merciful volleys from the ri
fles in the hands of friends, and the
harassed expedition was relieved of its
burden of wounded, the fanatical Chi
nese horde was cheated of victims for
its torture and the sufferings and fears
of the unfortunates were brought to an
end in an honorable death under their
own flag.
The British and American forces are
brigaded together on the west side of
the town, the Germans and Japanese
on the south side, the French and Rus
SLAMS On the north and a force of Cos
sacks hold the east side.
Scouts report that imperial Chinese
troops have arrived from Picking, well

Without dandruff there is no falling

me?" But the flakes kept falling, fall
ling, until the buffalo was almost buried,
and the hunter slipped along the snow
crust and made him an easy prey.
There's another hunter who hunts to
kill, who makes many a MAI his victim
because of n folly like that of the buffalo
in Anderscn's fable. It's a little thing
to have that uneasy feeling in the stom-
ach after eating. sour risings and belch-
ing are also reckoned little things. Yet
these little things are among the minor
marks Of a disordered condition of the
stomach and organs of nutrition and
digestion. OF themselves they may not
kill, but if despised they may open a
pathway to some deadly disease.
Don't neglect the first symptoms of
indigestion or stomach trouble" The
timely use of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery may avert a more serious
danger. 1t will surely cure any disease
of the stomach and organs of digestion
and nutrition, excepting cancer.
