MAY HAVE ESCAPED.
Dispatches From Hai-Nan Bring Some Hope
for the Safety of Miss Schaefferi

The latest dispatches from the island
of Hai-Nan, where Miss Kate Schaefer,
of Somers, is working as a missionary,
bring hope that it is possible that the
Kenosha county lady has escaped from
the hans of the Boxers" These dis
patches, however, also give renewed
cause for fear. They state that all the
missionaries in the island, with the ex-
ception of four at Nodoa, have been
safely removed to Hong Kong, where
they are assured protection.
Miss Schaeffer, when she last wrote
home, was at Nodoa, but it is possible
that she left that city before the at
tacks. However, in her letter, she
stated that she would be unwilling to
leave her post of duty until some res
cue could be found for the native
christians. IF she remained behind,
as was her purpose, it is possible that
she is in Inflated Nodoa still.
The Triad have committed many
crimes in and about Nodoa, and it is
feared that the four remaining mis-
sionaries cannot escape.
A war ship has been ordered to
Hai-Nan to protect the foreigners.

IF the old light-contract Council of
Kenosha wish to behold themselves as
others behe1d them let them follow
with care the course of the struggle
now in progress ia the Milwaukee City
Council over the terms of the light con-
tract. In Mi1waukee's case, however,
the extreme term limit is FIVE years,
with the opposition fighting to make it
three, while in Kenosha's case, it will
be remembered, the term granted
by our magnanimous Council was
ten years. The leader of the OPP
position to the long term contract Ia
Milwaukee brought forward some data
that may make pleasant hot weather
reading for the members of that ia
nous Council. According to the facts
produced at the meeting of the Mi.
waukee Council, if Kenosha holds its
own, the lighting contract will prove a
fairly lucrative institution in the
course Of ten years and the city's treas
ury will resemble Republican eau
Gus on wet night.

and without remuneration. It opened
the lands Of the government to the
poor man, whose only fortune IS his
capacity to work. It has protected
American wages from the competition
of rowded continents. It has de-
creed that the dollar paid to the poor
man, or to any man, shall be equiva-
lent to 100 cents in gold anywhere IN
the world. It has pursued policies
that set every wheel IN motion and
that provide employment and prosper
ity for ALL The Republican party IS
national. 1t fought to preserve the
Union, and not foot of soil has been
lost. Through the assertion OF its
principles there is one republic, not
two, with a prospect of further divis-
ion. It has carried through unavoid-
able foreign wars with success, and
assumed with unfailing courage the
duties that are an essential part OF the
position the country has attained.
Judge Yates had subject that nat
ura11y drew forth the glow OF elo-
ouence. and Illinois is a fitting scene
for his retrospect. In forty years the
state has had one Democratic Gov
-A1tge1d-and the name is its
own commentary. The indications
are that the campaign in Illinois will
be. grand Republican reunion. Hi
-nois was so prominently corrected
with the early years of Republicanism
that to recall the party's deeds IS to go
deeply into it's own annals. A govern
ment of the people, by the people, for
the people, is now, as ever, the basis OF
the Republican party. No one doubts
that Illinois is for sound money and
the protection of American industry.
It will range itself on the side of a
rightfu1 expansion. Judge Yates
strikes a good keynote when he adj
vises young men to read the story OF
the Republican party, and to see for
themselves that it has been the best
labor party from its homestead law
onward. It has also been the best
business party at every stage OF its
career, and was never more consp1cu-
Gus in this respect than it is at the
present time.

A Mother Tells How she Saved Her Little
Daughters Life.

l am the mother of eight children
and have had a great deal of expert
ence with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had thesdysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. tried everything | could
think of, but nothing seemed to do her
any good. I saw by an advertisement
in our paper that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was
highly recommended and sent and got
a bottle at once. 1t proved to be one
of the very best medicines we ever had
in the house. It saved my little
daughters life. I am: anxious for
every mother to know what an excel
lent medicine it is. Had l known it at
first it would have saved me a great
deal of anxiety and my little daughter
much suffering. Yours truly, MRS.

THE St. Louis G1obe-Democrat
makes editorial comment on the
speech of, Judge Yates, of Illinois, that
is not only complimentary to the
Young candidate for Governor of that
state, but sets forth his arguments in
a way that makes the speech worthy OF
general reading. 1t passes judgment
on the Republican party in the light of
it's history.
Judge Yates referred to it as the
party of the settlers homestead, the
party of the dollars honesty, the party
of the ballots freedom. the party of
equal rights, the party of the laborer's
protection, the party of expansion and
of gratitude to the soldier. The roll of
its great men is one Of the brightest
in the history of mankind, but its
crowning glory is its fidelity to the
people, its genuine acceptance of their
sovereignty and its devotion to their
welfare.

first consideration with the Republican
party. It wiped out. slave labor, the
labor that drudges on under the lash

Mr.. MORRISON, the correspondent Of
the London Times, has sent the most
convincing dispatch that has yet
reached the outer world from the be-
leaguered 1egationers. Itquite suffici-
entity proves the completely of the
Chinese government In the presence
of Mr.. Morrison's statements the
attempts of Ii Hung Chang and the
rest to prevent the advance of the
allied forces onrPekin fails to make
appeal to the judgment of our, or any
other, government.
The reply Of Lee Hoy is entirely
satisfactory. "The government must
not enter into any arrangement regard
ing disposition or treatment OF lega-
tions without first having free comnu-
nication with Minister Conger. Re
sponsibi1ity for their protection rests
upon the Chinese government. Power to
deliver at Tsin Tsin presupposes power
to protect and to open communication. =
In second dispatch the Secretary
says: Gree communication is de-
manded as a matter of absolute right,
not as a favor"
In short, the advance on Pekin must
proceed. The insufficieucy of the gov
eminent is only too apparent. The
presence of the armed allies in Pekin
is the only reasonable hope for the
salvation of the 1egationers. Even it
may fail by delay. The line in Mr..
Morrison's dispatch, in which he says
they are waiting contentedly'' for re-
lief, inspires the hope, however, that
they may hold out until aid reaches
them

HARTLEY WINS OUT.
milwaukee Actor Gets the Money Taken
in at owen Beneht Performance.

The suit of Fred S. Hartley VS.. Will
liam Owen, J. w. Mcconnell, Jos. G..
Rhode and other members of the Owen
company came to finish in Justice
Skaters court this morning, when the
Judge ordered that the money received
at. the benefit performance for Mr..
Owen be paid into the court to GO
toward satisfying a judgment recently
rendered against Owen in the same
court in favor of Hartley. But the
Milwaukee actor will get little for his
pains and trouble and much of the
original debt which he claimed Mr..
Owen owed him will still remain
unpaid.
Mr.. Hartley claimed that Owen
owed him 500, but he consented to
compromise the suit for 500. This
compromise was accepted and judg-
ment was rendered for the amount Of
500. The result of the attachment of
the box receipts turned into the hands
of the court was the small sum OF
SOILS. but the costs Of the action,
which had been in court for some
time, will be very large, amounting to
little over $50. After these are paid
little will be left to pay the alleged in
debtedness of Owen to Hartley.
After all the two actors have had
lots of fun with their little difficulty
and have secured no end of cheap ad-
vertising.
