Former Observation-Disclosures Boy Married.
The Eldora Herald announces the
wedding of Mr.. Charles Kennoyer, for
1nerly of this city but for several years
past resident of Eldora. Mics Rose
Wenzel is the name of the bride, and in
speaking of the wedding the Herald
says:
For weeks the many friends of these
popular young people have had sus-
picions that something was going to
happen, but when was the question
that was unsettled. The groom is one
of the popular young men of Eldora,
having for number OF years been en-
ployetl by the Wisner opera house man
ager as a competent all around man.
The bride is a sister of Mrs. B. S. Edg-
ington and has made host Of friends
during her residence in this city. The
young couple took up housekeeping at
once in a pleasant cottage in the Third
ward which the groom had neatly arr
ranged for the new conditions"

THE PUNISHMENT" OF PEKING.

look and vividly portrays the work
accomplished by the allied powers in the
movement upon Peking:
"There is not only no business doing
in Peking, but the very sources of COM
mercial prosperity have been cut up by
the roots. In the northern city were
four allied banks, each with the charac
ter 'Heng,' denoting Perpetuity, and
the syndicate (owned by Eunuch of
the palace) was supposed to be as safe as
the Bank of England. In the third
week in June the Chinese soldiers
plundered each of the Perpetuities,
which have ceased to exist-as have all
other cash shops and banks. The streets
are abundantly supplied with bank bills
which blow hither and thither with the
gusts of wind and the swirls of dust,
and are impartially rooted in the cutters
by the few surviving pigs.
THAT the Boxer movement was essen
TALLY an Imperial one is now proved
beyond doubt. Its yellow handbills are
headed with the words Chin Ming,
denoting in accordance with Imperial
ORDERS and its proclamations embody
the same language. The Boxers even
went to the length of issuing new coin
of enormous size and thickness, with
the legend, 'T'ien Hsia Tai Ping

mote from the facts as developed. The
Manchu and Mongol palaces in which
these schemes were devised and carried
out are now abandoned. Prince Tuan
is reported to have set fire to his palace

Chuaug is occupied as Japanese head.
quarters. The hated missionaries, and
the remnant of the flock whom they
have succeeded in saving. are now liv-
ing in the handsome dwellings of some
of those who lately tried to kill them, as
the children of Israel occupied the
fenced cities in the land of Canaan,
cities which they neither built nor
bought.
"The capital of country is that
country in small ,and Peking is patrolled
and governed by The Powers which
issued proclamations in Chinese for
bidding disorder, and directing those
who may have complaints to whom to
go. The city gates are the center of it's
life and the symbols of it's power. The
outer brick tower of the Oh len. Men
caught fire from the great confagration
set fire by the Boxers, and made
magnificent spectacle while it was
burning for day and night The other
tower was accidentally burned late in
August. The Japanese blew up the
outer tower of the Chi Hua Gate and
destroyed it, and fire was also set to the

also perhaps the most stunning blow
which the system of ancestral worship
ever received.
"The Emperor's Hall of Fasting is
used as the headquarters of the British
army in this part of the city, and every
day it is partly filed with many car.
loads of loot-silks, furs, silver and jade
ornaments, embroidered clothing and
the like-which is daily forwarded to
the British Legation, where it is sold at
auction for the benefit of the army, and
is soon replaced by as much more. The
personal apartments of the Emperor in
the rear serve as the bed rooms of the
officers, who look mildly surprised when
the circumstance is communicated to
them at their dinner and merely give
an inquiring glance, as much as to say,
We'll, what of it, don't you know?'
Looting the "Six Boards"
The Government of China has always
been conducted through the agency of
the six Boards of War, Rites, Works,
Revenue, Civil Office and Punishments,
mostly situated on street named after
one of the most important ones-the
Board of War. At the wide doors con-
cealing the arcana of this Chinese
official life, foreigners have for the most
part hitherto gazed from afar. At
present the doors of all stand wide open,
and any who list can wander through
the courts at will. The Board of War is
the headquarters of an Indian regiment,
the tall and dusky warriors of the hill
tribes of the Indian frontier making
themselves at home in the ample apart
ments at their disposal. The thrifty
Japanese contrived to get the west side
of this same street redistributed so as to
come within their lines, and then set
caravan of mules working day and night
from the Board of Revenue treasury
sum reported to be at least three million
taels of silver ingots This same
Oriental race, who appeared to know
much more about Peking than the
Pekinese themselves, promptly fastened
their talons on all the principal Imperial
granaries, and are said to have in their
possession rice to the value of 1900, 900
gold dollars-their indemnity being thus
automatically paid with no diplomatic
pressure whatever, or any consent asked
of any Power
Immediately to the south of the
Imperial city, and adjacent to the
British Legation Oh the northwestern
side, lies large tract inclosed by lofty
wall, which is generally known as The
Carriage Park. There are several
spacious halls, one of them among the
very largest to be found anywhere in

when the three outer gates were blown
in by American guns. The Tung Plen
and Sha Kuo gates of the southern city
were each broken in by shells the day
before AMI all the nine gates of the
northern city, as we'll as the seven
remaining ones of the southern city, are
guarded by troops of the eight Powers
cooperating in a military occupation.
The stern portcullis of the outer tower
Of the Front Gate (never opened except
when the Emperor passed through is
destroyed, and for the first time there is
straight road from the palace grounds
to the southern city, not for the Emperor,
but for every Chinese and every
foreigner alike. 1t is Great Wall Of
China obliterated at a blow.
The marble altar where the Emperor
worships old legendary Shen Nung is a
convenient place for the cavalry horses
to be left in charge of the nearest coolie,
and the choice spot of earth, which the
Emperor is supposed to cultivate with
his own hand every successive spring,
as an example to the tillers of the soil
all over the empire, is, amid the dense
growth of omnipresent weeds, quite
indistinguishable.
"Across the wide street opposite the
Temple of Agriculture, with it's Altar
to Earth, is the vast area. at least mile
on each face, inclosing the Temple of
Heaven. For many, many years it was
absolutely inaccessible to foreigners, and
even during the minority of the present
Emperor it has always been difficult to
set ones foot inside. Now there is not
a single Chinese anywhere to be seen,
the keepers having been all driven away
by the British when they took possession
Immediately on reaching Peking. One
can drive his cart quite up to the lofty
terrace leading to the triple cerulean
domes denoting the threefold heaven.
Each gate is sentried by swarthy Sikh
soldier-the very personification of the
domination of a greater empire than
that of Rome in it's best days-who
merely glances at you as you pass, or
asks unintelligible questions in Hindu
stani, and makes respectful salaam
when he is informed in several European
languages as well as in Chinese that you
are unable to catch the drift of his
observations.

cases-four on side-to the eight EN-.

the past two hundred and fifty six years.

pany has expended in the ncighborhood
Of $4,000 IN its lighting department

In view Of the expedition with which
the company has eDdeavored to com
ply with the recommendation Of the
Board Of Commissioners, and the very
considerable expense to which we have
gone as above indicated, we think it
would be no more than fair that a
trial should be given our new system
upon East Market street before any
attempt is made to return to the old
system of lighting by gas. Especially
do we feel that our system should
have been given a trial upon this street
in view of the fact that the same has
been petitioned for by property own.

fourths of the property fronting upon
the street and being considerable ma
jority of the individual residents of the

The system being installed by us is
in operation in 30 or 80 cities Of the
United States, and the admirable de-
gree of popular appreciation that is be-
ing given to 1t shows that it is meeting
with very marked success. The gener-
al satisfaction which it is giving is evil
denced also by the fact that in Boston,
Hartford, st. Louis, San Francisco
and other large cities which have
adopted it for street lighting the
service is constantly being extended.
Il take it that Akron people want to
be in the front rank of improvement
in this regard, and for this reason our
company believes it to be no more
than its right to insist upon the op-
portunity to demonstrate it's service

He Had Not Anticipated the
Result
That Would Follow His Visit to
Akron.
Made a Fortune In Goldfields o
Frozen North.

James Chapman's return from Alas
ka to Akron created sensation that
he had not anticipated.
More than 1S years ago Mr.. Chap
man departed for the Frozen North
He had planned to take up the life OF
a missionary among the Indians OF
Alaska. This determination was par
tally the result of his unhappy home
life. A divorce action, resulting in a
decree legally dissolving the tie that
bound him to his wife, FASTENED his
departure.
Without making extended prepara-
tions he went West. going to Alaska
by the way of San Francisco. After a
trip full of dangers, marked by ex-
periences that he will never forget,
he reached his destination. He located
at point near what is now Dawson
City. His relatives would occasional
ly hear from him but it was difficult
matter for him to reach point where
letters could be mailed or received and
because of this they practically lost
trace of him. Three years ago, after
the rush to the gold fields had com
menced, several letters were received
in Akron. containing information re-
lating to him. A report, that he was
dead. the result of trip made into the
interior In company with four other
prospectors, reached his former wife
and their children. Letters addressed
to him failed to bring back any re-
sponse and the report was finally ac-
cepted as the truth.
Mr.. Chapman's divorced wife and
their three children reside on Benjamin
ST., this city.
They have believed, for two
years. that he was dead. The former
Mrs. Chapman is now the wife OF
Charles X. Ives, 172 Benjamin st. Mr..
Chapman called ut her home Monday
for the purpose of seeing his children,
who have grown TO manhood and wo-
manhood since his departure. Mrs.
Ives was dumbfounded when she rec
ognized the visitor. The children did
not know their father. Two have
married since he left the city. Mr..
Chapman is visiting mt the home Of
his cousin, Mrs. Louisa A. Mcacham,
225 S. Union st. His arrival at her
home created as great surprise as
il did at the Ives residence.
Mr.. Chapman is on his way TO San
Francisco. He expects to return to
Alaska where he has a number Of
valuable claims. He has made large
sums of money since the discovery of
gold at Dawson City and Cape Nome.
He was one of party of five that
started for the interior three years ago.
Three died ms the result of exposure
and it was with the creates difficulty
that Mr.. Chapman ever got back to
civilization. 1t was while he was on
this trip that the report reached Ak
ron OF his death. e
