HORRIBLE BUTCHERY
IN PEKIN, CHINA.
NOT A FOREIGNER LEFT
ALIVE.
Cloud Of War Rests Over The
Celestial Empire-and Per-
haps The World.

If yesterdays advices from China
proves true, there are homes all over
this land, and the world, in which there
is bitter woe. The news is to the effect
that not a single foreigner is left alive
in Pekin. Driyen for safety to the
English legation, they were all fallen
upon and massacreed. If this proves
a correct report, the Celestial Empire
is doomed. But in the booming what
awful things must come to pass. The
powers may combine in the war, but
China has 100000 soldiers now in the
field; and from three to four hundred
millions of people to draw from. The
nation is fully armed and in every way
prepared for the struggle. If she
must be overcome, if the nations must
mass their forces for conquest, what
countless lives each slice of the Empire
will cost. And many of these may be
from our own bright and happy land.
The spirit of rebellion is not local, but
seems to permeate the whole empire.
The man does not live who can tell
what is coming to China-or the world.
Friday morning-Later news indi-
Gates that all who had succeeded in
taking refuge within the British Lega-
tion are yet alive; but that is invested
by 100000 Chinese soldiers, and all that
stands between them and death is the
japanese army.

Republican Prospects.

1t is generally conceded that repub
licans have every reason to anticipate
another victory over Bryan and Bryan.
ism. But it is quite possible that few
have taken broad survey of the bat
tie field to locate the centers OF the
conflict.
1t may always be conceded that
such states as comprise the "Solid
South" the old Slave holding states
will support the democratic nominee.
1t may also be determined with GER
tainty that such states as Vermont,
Maine, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Michigan and other central and
western states in the northern portion
of the country will invariably support
the republican candidates.
In addition to these, there are States
where the majOrities are close or the
conditions peculiar, making these
doubtful" States, and when located
these must become the battle ground
of the campaign.
In 1896, Mckinley defeated Bryan by
the enormous majority of 95 votes in
the Electoral College. Of the states
carried by the republicans in that cleo
tion Delaware, California, North Da-
kota, Kentucky, Oregon, and West
Virginia, were carried by maiorities of
less than ten thousand. The combined
vote of these is 80, and if Bryan should
defeat Mckinley in all of these leaving
the remaining states as they then
stood, Mckinley would still be elected
by 33 votes.
This establishes the fact that it is
ipo hla for RrUOtn xuito nv ooaly
ing gains in any of the close or doubt
full Western States. He must not only
win in these but he must get upwards
of 30 votes from Eastern States, or If
he makes no gains in these states he
States. So, in either event the east
becomes one of the principal battle
grounds.
This centers the attention of politi-
cal observers on the State of New y ork
and her 36 electoral votes, with New
Jersey, Kentucky and Maryland as
close seconds.
1t is quite apparent also that in ad-
dition to his popularity with the
masses, clear headed politicians were
pushing the candidacy of "Teddy
Roosevelt" knowing that he could do
more to ensure republican success in
New York than any other candidate.
The States of New York, New
Jersey, Maryland and perhaps Ken
lucky and Indiana are the important
centers of political strife from now out
with everything favorable to republi-
can success in a majority of these.
The people of these states realize that
Bryan and Organism is as detrimental
to national welfare as four years ago,
and the majority for the popular
favorites, Mckinley and Roosevelt,
will be increased rather than dimin-
ished.

One Of the questions agitating those
who concern themselves with the good
OF the race is the alleged remarkable
falling off in the number of marriages.
Many acute minds have sought an eX-
PLANTATION for this state Of affairs, and
While suggestions as to the reason are
sufficiently numerous an adequate solli-
ton Of the problem Is so far still want
Ing. Perhaps the most plausible the
ory Is that emanatng from a large
class Of philosophers who make selfish
ness the root Of all human action.
Building on this foundation, they al
lege that the desires Of the modern
wife as To those surroundings of her
socia! position for the supplying of
which q big income is Indispensable,
have become so eXacting that it is i'm
possible for the modern husband. un-
less particularly fortunate IN finan-
cial way, to supply them. Under these
circumstances, it is said, the raw ma
terial from which husbants are made,
the bachelors, prefer to endure the un-
questioned diScomforts and lack Of per-
feet life harmonies in their solitary
Isolation, rather than suffer such sacri-
fees as might be implied in their enter
ing wedlock. This theory no doubt
fairly elucidates the situation from it's
point Of view but there is still another
phase of the question that is well
worth consideration. It's possible iu-
fluence on the decimation of the mar
riage rate is not so obvious as the for
mer may be, but it may exist for all
that. Whether justly founded or not,
there are certain beliefs current among
men, usually, it is true, referred to in a
jocose way, that at a greater or less
period after marriage the wife becomes
exacting as to husbands hours, hab.
it's, companions and expenditures, and
that where argument fails she some.
times resorts to such force as she is
capable Of to enforce her views. In the
old days. in spite Of these beliefs, WON.
an was so generally acc9Ated as the
weaker sex that 1t apparently had nc
deterrent effect on men inclined to
marry. But what of the present? If
investigated it may be found this
lamentable marital detection is con-
temporaneous with the advent of the
athletic female. Every day we hear of
her exploits in some new field of en-
deavor associated with such courage,
muscle and miscellaneous ability to
take corp Of herself that the mocf
careless observer must take heed. Of
course, it is not to be asserted posi-
lively that the development of athletic
females has had any positive effect on
the marriage decrease. but the idea is
given for what 1t Is worth.

veloped that the mosquito, or certainl
species Of mosquito, the anopheles, is,
unquestionably the agent, If not the
direct cause, Of tile wide spread of maj
laria through all the tropical countries.
Major Ross report says: 1--WE have
found (a) that local species of mosqui-'
toes carry malaria. (b) That these spc-
cies breed in few stagnant puddles.
For many scientific reasons we have
come to the conclusion that the truly
malarial fever is caused solely by thQ
mosquito-probably entirely by the
anopheles species. We estimate, then,
that most of the malarial fever can be
got rid Of at almost no cost, except Of
little energy"
In the course of his Investigation he
has studied the mosquito most thor
oughly. His treatment of the insect is
quite remarkable. The most striking
machine which he uses to facilitate his
research is guillotine, which cuts the
insect into sixty distinct and separate
sections so small that every minute del
tail can be studied under the micro
scope.
In order to do this the body of the
insect is hardened by successive treat
ments with various kinds of acids and
spirits. 1t Is then plunged in melted
wax. When this wax cools it sets hard
around him and enables the keen blade
of the guillotine to cut him into the
most minute shavings, each of which
can be mounted and then examined
under the microscope.
In this way the minute stomach Of
the insect Is stud ed carefully. and the
deadly microbe which he keeps there
discovered and examined.

1t is too often the case that college
athletics are carried ON almost solely
for the purpose of achieving victory in
intercollegiate contests. TraNing is
often governed by the desires or pros
poets of victory rather than for the de-
velopment and recreation it brings to
the student The victory and not the
benefits of preparing for n contest is
the incentive. This is evident not only
in the manner of training but in the
manner of accepting victory or defeat.

our vanquished are hopelessly despond-

1t Is unquestionably true that up to
a decade ago great deal of advertis-
ing was characterized by bluster and
exaggeration, The two essential fea-
tures-reliability and instructiveness-
which have rendered the present day
plan of advertising in n popular news
paper so successful were in great de-
gree lacking. The merchant seemed
to simply want to yell to the public
through the speaking trumpet of his
advertisements. On the other hand,
modern trade announcements engen-
der in the public mind n confidence in
the advertiser which is always certain
to have a profitable effect upon his
business.

4 lumber journal reports that $4,000
men are engaged in cutting logs for the
market in what is left of the pine for.
ests Of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich.
igan. The bulk of this forest denuda.
tion Is In Minnesota. Wisconsin and
Michigan's lumber supply is so nearly
exhausted that it now counts for but
little. AT the present rate of destruc-
ton Minnesota's supply will be exhaust
ed within ten years, and that will prac-
tically be the end of our white pine
product. The days Of the Southern pine
are also numbered. If it is the inten.
ton of the lumber trust to destroy the
forests entirely to satisfy it's greed it is
little remarkable it has not put 10000
men to work, or twice that number, so
as to make an end OF them at once. The
entire denudation of the forests might
be easily accomplished, as forest fires
are now raging in various parts of the
country. If the tree cutters, hunters
and campers would only combine their
energies and act promptly they could
quickly secure the destruction of the
timber supply and leave our wooded
districts bowling waste.
