Base ban.

There was good game of base ball
at the fair ground diamond Friday
afternoon between Oskaloosa and
Abba and the visitors were treated to
defeat. Some good work was done
on both sides but the Oskaloosa team
was in condition and played the game.
The score of the game tells the fol-
lowing story to those who understand

THE DEMOCRATS
Meet in Convention and Nomi-
nate a County Ticket.

Willard Carver, chairman of the
county committeeman candidate
for congress called the democratic
county convention to order at IL
o'clock and read the call, and in do
ing SO tried to say something funny
about tine republican party, but as
nobody laughed or even smiled it
must not have been as funny as Will
lard intended. w. O.. Boatman was
called to act as temporary chairman.
He made no speech, simply thanked
the chairman for calling him out.
Richard Burke, of the Times, was
made temporary secretary.
On motion of Willard Carver a
committee of three each on creden-
tials, resolutions and permanent or
ganization was appointed. The
chairman read from slip already
prepared the following: -........
Credentials--H. 8. Rosecrans, L.

Resolutions-A. r. Sherburne, w.
@. Anderson, b. v. Sewers. hl5.e
Per. Organization-John McFan,
Sol Brown, g, w. Davis. # ta.E
The committees retired and were
ordered to report after dinner. Ia5a4
Willard Carver then introduced F.
G. Rhinehart, of Newton, who wants
to be candidate for congress, who
then proceeded to address the con-
vention, and the g. o. p. came in for
its entire share Iof abuse and criti-
cism, while the Filipinos, the Chi
nese, the Porto Ricans and Cubans
were praised to the skies. During
his speech he took occasion to read
some poetry of his own creation,
after the style of "The White Mans
Burden" with due apology to the
author. OF course no speech would
be complete without John F. Lacey
getting as much abuse as an audi
ence will stand. and Rhinehart gave
it to them. Lacey was censured for
the Porto Rican tariff, for the Phil
ippine war and also for his bird bill,
passed by the last congress. Rhine
hart is the man of whom the Iowa
State Democrat says: I"is the same
fellow who in 1896 went to Milt Nc
Cord (republican) and wanted job
of speaking in the various school
houses against the free silver craze
The worst bargain the democratic
party everssecured was when it got
Rhinehart.'

Dispatches received Monday via Shang-
hal from Tientsn report a great battle
between the allies and Chinese Sunday at
Pietsang TIE allies lost 1920 men, most
<ly Russians and Japanese. The Chinese
were finally defeated and forced to make
a disordered retreat. The American
troops, under Gen. Chaffee, were in the
midst of the battle and gave an excellent
account of themselves. Peitsang is the
first railroad station, about six miles
northwest of Tientsin, en- route to Pekin.
The Navy Department at Washington
on Monday received the following cable

ed to the State Department by Minister
Wu Saturday is supplemented by the sub
xstance of an imperial edict communicated
to Consul G General 6oodnow by Director
General Sheng, indicating that arrange
Enents are still going on in Pekin for es-
corting the ministers to Tientsin
Interest in the Chinese situation was in
tensifed in Washington Monday morning
by the receipt Of two dispatches from
naval officers at Cheefoo, repeating UNI
official but apparently reliable reports Of
active and extensive hostilities between
the allied forces and the Chinese on the
Zine between Tientsin and Pekin.
The dispatches indicated that the relief
column had started in earnest and that it
was meeting with determined opposition.
Although neither of the naval dispatches
mentioned the presence of American
troops in the reported engagement, it was
geenrally assumed at the War Depart
ment that at least a part of Gen. Chat
fees small army was on hand and took
an active and aggressive part in the af-
sa:r.
According to information in possession
of the War Department the town Of
Peitsang is at the head Of tidewater on
the Peiho, between eleven and twelve
miles by road beyond Tientsin. 1t is a
village of mud huts of considerable size,
out not walled. The river at this point is
mot Lavigable by anything larger than a
goo,; sized steam launch, and it is thought
that the troops probably reaoned there in
small boats, towed by the naval launches.
from the fact that the engagement
sasted seven and half hours, it is ar
gued in the department that either the
Chinese must have been heavily Intrench-
ed or that there was an immense horde Of
ahem to so stubbornly contest the ad.
vance of the 10000 international troops.
It was figured by military experts that a
loss of /, 200 killed and wounded on the
part of the allies probably meant loss Of
Erom three to six times as many by the
Chinese.
Free communication between the for
aign ambassadors and their governments
is said to have been established by an
Imperial edict. ANY message that may
BE sent, however. must not be in cipher.
Another proclamation provides for the
safe deportation of the foreigners from
PeSin to Tientsin. The United States
government will not consent to the re-
moval of the ministers and foreigners
from Pekin until there is free communi
cation by the powers with their ministers.
Nor will this government consent to com.
smunication in plain language alone, but
insists that cipher messages must pass
freely between Minister Conger and our
State Department. 1t is emphatically
stated that unless such messages are ex-
changed the United States cannot know
beyond question that the messages were
not garbled and both the United States
government and the ministers misled
There seems to be no doubt about the
safety Of the ministers at Pekin, for the
present, and that they will remain where
aney will be able to protect themselves
eatronize those who advertise.

Bryan and Stevenson Officially In.
formed of Their Nominations.
At Military Park in Indianapolis We'd
nesday afternoon William j. Bryan was
notified that for the second time he had
been chosen Democracy's candidate for
President. And, for the second time In
his life, Adlai E. Stevenson learned Of
fcially that his party had chosen him as
it's candidate for the second highest office
within the gift of the people.
The crowd at the park was so dense
that it was tedious progress for the pro-
cession that escorted the nominees. Along
the line of march the throng surged for
ward and backward as they cheered for
Bryan and Stevenson. Various estimates
make the number of visitors in the city
&c. 900 to 10000. In addition to these
strangers all indianapolis seemed to be on
foot.
1t was a sweltering but good-natured
crowd. Clouds that obscured the sun
early in the day were scattered by noon
and the sun beat pitilessly upon the hosts.
The thermometer registered over 80 de-
grees in the shade and in the sun, where
the majority of sight-seers stood for
hours, the temperature was over 100.

streamers; the walls of the Grand hotel,
from where the parade started, were al
most hidden by bunting and nearly every
building along the line of march was dec
grated.
With the days exercises the campaign
of 1900 may be said to have opened. The
addresses of Col. Bryan and Mr.. Steven
son, in reply to the chairmen of the no.
LITIGATION committees, sounded the key
note for the party that is seeking to Sc
cure the reins of government. 1t is anti
imperialism. A thousand words are de-
voted to this subject where ten are used
for any other.

CHICAGO "REDS" ARRESTED.
Police Prevent Anarchist Meeting to
Approve Humbert's Assassination.

Anarchy tried to come to life in Chi
cago again for little while Sunday
afternoon. The effort continued long
enough to cause a riot in the street in
front of the West Twelfth Street Turner
Hall. The riot lasted long enough only
for the police to gather up Mrs. Lucy
Parsons and dump her in a patrol wagon,
grab Abraham Edelstalt because he
yelled Shame" to smash Clement
PfeuntZner because he was supposed to
be dangerous anarchist, to drag in two
other anarchists, and, with this batch Of
five in the wagon, to go galloping off to
the police station.
This was all that came of the proposed
celebration in West Twelfth Street Turn
er Hall of the murder of King Hum
bert. A handful of policemen was all
that was needed to put an end to the
plans and hopes Of revived anarchy in
Chicago.
King Humbert's assassination was to
have been celebrated with big meeting.
Mrs. Parsons, whose husband, Albert
Parsons, was hanged for completely in
the Haymarket massacre in 1886 and
who was, with her husband, one of the
leaders Of the anarchists then, was to
have been the principal speaker at the
meeting. L. S. Oliver, another old-time
anarchist, was to have made a speech.
Simonetta, the Italian anarchist, was to
have discussed what he called the master
stroke of Bressi in numbering King Hum
bert. This meeting was to have for it's
watchword the cry that anarchy was not
dead in Chicago. The police set about to
demonstrate to the anarchists that an
archy was dead in Chicago.

OFFICIALS BEHEADED JULY %.
Sheny Confirms Story-Li Ping Hang
Master at Pekin,

Master at Pekin.
A dispatch from Shanghai says that
Director of Telegraphs Sheng in an in
terview confirms the story of the execu-
ton of two members of the tsung-li-ya-
men, or Chinese foreign Office, for friend
illness to the foreigners, and adds the
names of the officials and the circum-
stances of their death. He says the vic
TINS of Ii Ping Hangs wrath were Hsu
Ching Cheng. formerly minister to Rus
STA, and more recently imperial director
general of railways, and Yuan Chang.
They had been doing good work in sup
pressing the Boxers, and had supported
the efforts of Prince Ching to save the
foreigner ministers and restore order in
Pekin. For this they incurred the dis
pleasure of Ii Ping Hang. and, notwith-
standing their high office as members of
the tsung-li-yamen, they were led out
on July % and beheaded, as warning
to others.
