1t was Captain Farrell and l,is men

He never faltered: his 200 pounds new

Capt Farrell and his cohorts led the

marshal of the whole parade. The first
three divisions were made up of clubs
from all over the union. The fourth di-

They were cheered. and we'll they
might be when it is considered what
they achieved in so short time. The

OF course the crowd received them

the parade Of some notable fiures-

sioux city Girl Plays Serious Joke,
on tho Merchants.


Sioux City. July Gas long as Ma
iron Thurston has been in the police
business she has never been called
upon to Investigate as remarkable q
case as that of little Annie Devlin.
aged 10 years, who has been having all
kinds Of grandiose satisfaction at the
expense OF merchants around town.
The child.s game is to call at a store.
order long list Of goods and have
them sent to fictitious street number
Her order is accompanied by grand
tale about the large house which her
mother owns and the great doin's
which are had there. Men who have
made special study OF the freaks OF
the human mind call this particular
weakness for dealing in great things
I5megalomania. and its manifestation in
such marked degree in one so young is
unusual.
The Devlin child. who lives with her
mother, Mrs. Julia Devlin. at 902 Clark
street, called at Georges bakery and
ordered more than So worth OF bakery
stuff, including bread. pies, cakes,
doughnuts and cookies. She asked that
they be delivered to Mrs. Shields
explained that her mother conducted
large boarding house and great
deal Of food was needed to supply the
large number Of boarders. The goods
were sent, but no one in the neighbour
hood knew anything about so large an
order for pastry. and the deliveryman
brought them back to the bakery.
The young woman in the bakery
shop got track of the child who had
ordered the goods and went to the
Devlin home, where she found Annie.
Attic Annie and her mother denied
any knowledge of the affair. the young
woman is positive that the Devlin girl
is the one who ordered the goods. She
says theresis absolutely no question
about It.
Several other cases Of the same kind
have been reported and Mrs. Thurston
is quite certain that Annie Deyiln was
concerned in all Of them.
A few days ago DR.. H. A. Wheeler,
who is the county physician. found a
memorandum in his office which stated
that family which had been exposed
to smallpox recently moved here from

The Chinese invasion of the
Amur Province is equivalent to a
declaration of war against Russia,
which, constituting it as such, has
handed the Chinese envoy at St.
Petersburg his passports and re-
quested him to leave the country
The Importance of this Chinese de-
claration of war against Russia,
and of this bold invasion of Rus
sian territory, lies in the fact that,
as the matter now stands, it vir-
tually releases the Car from his
obligation to the foreign powers
to act i'll concert with them in
China. He is placed thereby in a
position to act Independently, and
not only with reference to the de-
Tense of his dominions against the
Chinese invaslons, but also as re-
CARDS the carrying of war into the
enemy's country and eventually
march upon Pekin. Should a
Russian array proceeding from ST.
IBERIA reach Pekin and capture it
before the allies could get to it
from the Pacific coast, the Gar
would be able to dictate terms to
China independently of the powers
and without any regard to their
wishes.

CHINESE REGULARITY.

Bret Harte, in his famous poem
1.-The Heather Chinese, says:
For ways that are dark
And for tricks that are vain,
The neathen Chinese is peculiar,
Which the same is free to main tain.
And Mr.. Harte is right, says
the Waycross Herald. They first
invented gurpowder, the making
of paper, and used block type IN
printing, but have never improved
OH them. When they meet a
friend they shake their own hands.
We black our shoes, they chalk
theirs; we shave our face, they
their heads; we look up to our
Diety, they look down; we pay
our doctor when we are sick, they
pay him as long as they are we'll !;
Ia commendable idea, we begin
meal with the plalnest OF food
they begin with sweets; we write
across sheet of paper, they up
and down. We are indebted to
them for the pillow.
They teach their children cour-
tesy above all things, another
commendable idea. They invent
ed fireworks, we invented "fire
water" They have no settled re-
ligious belief, but pay their debts.
They believe firmly in the "fung
shway," or the eternal balance of
things-if a window on one side
of the house q corresponding one
on the other side is opened. Truly
they are peculiar. There are nc
laundries in Chioa and they learn
the art in this country.

letter of denial, and some Of them
are doing SO, as requested. Mr..
