war and strife. War is the greatest

The official confirmation of the
news that Minister Conger is safe and
well, coupled with the statement that
he has provisions for several weeks,
and that the firing on the legation
has ceased, was welcome intelligence,
though not unexpected, in view of
recent news. The information from
Colonel Daggett was promptly tele-
graphed to President Mckinley at
Canton. The last message which
came from Minister Conger was that

The energies of the government, as

be concentrated for an advance on

have come from China seem to indi-
cate that this will occur very soon,
some of the dispatches placing the
date as early as yesterday. The. Off
Gals here, however, do not look for
SO early an ADVANCE. If the allied
commanders adhere to their original
estimate of eighty thousand men as
necessary for the campaign, as the
latest reports received here do not
show half that number on the
ground. Still other reports indicat-
ing the possibility OF the advance
beng made by the British and
American officers have come, and
our officers commanding in China
have free hand in any military
movements.

New York, August IF the in
crease in immigration that is now go
ing on holds out for the rest of the
year, and the other ports at which
aliens are received make as large a
showing as New York, the population

tails concerning the increase are fur

ended June 80. 1899, there were 245,35o
foreigners added to the population of
the United States through this port.
In the fiscal year just ended this total
has been increased by nearly 100000
souls. The exact figure is 341,711.
which is the greatest number since
1898. The immigrants at all the
American ports last year numbered
311,715. In other words, the immigra-
ton at this port alone for the year
1s991900 is greater that at the other
twenty-one cities at which aliens are
received. If the present increase has
been uniform throughout these other
ports. the total immigration for the
year will have been 529.915.

H. L. Kramer.

Ten years ago the ground where the
magnificent hotel property of the Indi-
ana Mineral Springs Company is locat-
ted at Indiana Mineral Springs. In
diana was wholly unimproved and al
most wilderness. Now, owing to the
discovery of the valuable medicinal
qualities OF the springs and the heal
ing virtue of the soil itself. together
with the enterprise of Major h. Ii
Kramer, there Is located there one Of:
the finest sanitariums in the United,
States The natural picturesque sur,
roundings have, been made more at
tractive and the hotel Is a model OF
comfort and elegance.
For the greater accommodation OF
guests who come in constantly increas-,
Ing numbers from every section of the
United States, arrangements have now,
been made for the enlargement Of the,
hotel buildings. The contract was let
yesterday by Major Kramer for addi-
lions that will cause an outlay of over,
$4,000. The improvements will consist
OF new bath house and an addition
to the hotel. The addition will be two
stories in height and will occupy a
ground space s0x160 feet. 1t provides
forty additional guest chambers. The
entire addition will be Handsomely
and elegantly furnished. The bath
house, when completed, will be the
finest in the United States.
Besides the bath house and tho
guest chambers there will be on the
first floor dining hail. a music room,
billiard hall, physicians ofices and
barber shop. In connection with this
bath house there will be ladies and
gentlemen's dressing rooms and cool
ing rooms. The dressing and cooling
rooms will be deliberately decorated
and the floors will be laid in white
tile. In both cooling rooms will be
built large ornamental fire places
which will be used Tor heating pur-
poses in addition to the regular steam
heating. The work will be entirely
completed in 80 days.
The improvement and the entire ar
rangements of the hotel and grounds
are made, keeping in view the artistic

Major Kramer states that still fur
ther addition to the hotel Is contem-
plated. and that plans are now being
prepared for an additional structure
to contain $50 rooms for guests.
Already quarter Of million dol
lars has been expended on the In
diana Mineral Springs enterprise and
under the present management greater
growth and development in the future
is assured.-Attica Daily Ledger.
