rear several shots came. The mob an
swered hundred to one and members
OF the mob rushed to the timber and
found the body Of John Myers, black
smith employed by Mrs Wright, dead
Nearby lay Mrs Wright, a ragged hole
N the shoulder She is probably fatally
wounded. The house was destroyed
Mrs. Wright is so years old. For some
time she has been conducting a lying
m-hospital. The authorities used ev-
cry means available to quiet the mob
but later it began smashing windows
and throwing brick at the woman
Some one also fired a shot at Mrs.
Wright, which missed her.
Bessie Salter died in Mrs. Wright's
hospital Friday night and was taken 10
her home in Leonard, Ill, under cover
OF darkness early Saturday morning.
She was merely wrapped in an old
blanket and piece of carpet and was
buried in her undercIothing. the par
ents assisting in keeping the matter
quiet
The coroner's inquest over the body
OF BESSIE Salter completed its investi-
cation last evening and held Mrs.
Wright to the grand jury without bail.
The intense excitement that prevailed
all day subsidized and order is restored.
ne removal Of Mrs. Wright to Watse-
ka jail seems to have checked all mob
talk and the law will probably be al
| lowed to tale its course. The condi-
ton Of Geo sc WIloughby and Peter
| Hauer, two Of the wounded deputies, is
very discouraging and it is feared their
injuries viii prove fatal. 1t was re-
ported that three girl patients" had
persisted in the fire but this is now
thought to be a mistake.

London, Aug. 28.-The allies are re-
suming aggressive operations and have
taken the district west of Pekin. This
statement is based on Chinese author
ity cabled from Shanghai From the
same place comes the further statement
that LII Hung Chang has wired the en-
press dowager at Hsian-Fu requesting
the arrest of Prince Tuan and the dis
armament of the boxers in order to give
him an opening for negotiations with
the powers. The Examinations pro-
jected at Shanghai in celebration of the
relief Of Pekin have been abandoned,
lest they should cause a native out
break. The American refuge mission
aries in Annoy, according to Hong
Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail,
are anxious to return to the interior,
but the United States consul has for
hidden them to do so and urges them
to go to the Philippines or return to
America.
The Shanghai adv1ces to the
Daily News says the con-
sular opinion there looks upon
the Japanese action in the landing Of
troops at Annoy, despite the protests of
the consuls, as similar to that of Rus
STA at New Chwang, the whole indi-
eating a tendency to partition of the
empire. Russian journals agree, -
says the Moscow correspondent of the
Standard, that it is impossible to
deal with China in a spirit of revenge,
as suggested by Emperor William.
The question can be satisfactorily set
tied to Russian minds by the seizure
of the northern provinces. A St.
Petersburg special quotes Emperor
William, when wiring in answer to the
announcement that a Russian regiment
had been named after him, as follows:
Il express my good wishes today with
all the greater joy since our Russian
and German comrades, after long time,
are fighting together again, shoulder
to shoulder. Victory will not be
wanting"
