KING HUMBERT of Italy was shot
last Saturday evening. He had dis
tributed prizes after y gymnastic con-
test at Monza, Italy. He had enter.
ed his carriage when an assassin
came forward and fred three revol-
YER shots into the body of the king.
One bullet pierced the kings ht art
and he fell dead. The assassin was
arrested. The mob came near tax

WI the Chinese minister at Wash
ington when confronted with the
mysteriou, sction OF the Chinese gov
ernment in China declaring that the
foreign ministers are alive and re-
fusing them to communicate with
their governments, explained that the
Chinese people are 80 different from

people do not apply to the Chinese.
BRYAN was a practical imperialisi
when he was colonel in the army
against Spain. He was not called tt
go to Cuba or Manila, but all the
same be was in the army for thai
purpose and if he did not get there
it was because he was not needed
Because he did not get there he
thinks he is not an imperialist. Il
he had been sent there he would
have been an imperialist from h;i
stand point. When he enlisted and
volunteered he did not expect that
Spain would invade America HI
knew she could not do that. If ht
knew that then ie knew the othel
fact that he would have to invade
Spain somewhere aud defeat her and
the occupancy of the country would
follow as a consequence till such tins
when the people of the subjugatei
country could understand governing
themselves without the necessity ol
the presence of an army to keeI
down disorders. Bryan's imperial
ism is baby talk.

The Railroad Tramp Ques-
ton.

The boarding of tramps and
other vagrants arrested for tres
passing on the Pennsylvania Rail
road and committed to the county
Jail, has become a hardship to the
taxpayers of this county. To meet
this question fairly, the COmmis,
siOners at their regular meeting,
on Saturday, adopted the follow
ing resolution, copy of which has
been served upon the Sheriff:
Resolved, That the County Com.
missiOners of Juniata County de-
cline and refuse to pay the board
ing and costs, for parties arrested
and committed to the Jail of Jun
iata county for trespassing on trains
under and by virtue of the Act OF
May "a, 1878, p. L. 125, and the
Clerk to the Commissioners is here
by authorized and directed to serve
notice by copy of this resolution
on the Sheriff Of Juniata county.
1t is now cup to the Sheriff" I"
and it remains to be seen what he
does in the matter.

The war in China goes on, and the
interior of China is closely sealed
against foreigners as ever. All the in
Business People, Government Officials,
Ministers and SO forth comes through
Chinese channels. If the Chinese
would allow word from the Ministers
to he received the urgency of the situa-
ton would be greatly relieved. But no
direct word is received, all the infOrma-
ton obtained is from Chinese, and they
insist on it, the Ministers are safe, ex-
cepting the German Minister, who all
say was killed.
The King Of Germany is reported as
having in a recent speech declared for
the avenging Of the murder of his
Minister to the determination of the
Chinese, men, women and children,
where ever found Oh his march into the
Chinese Empire. The probability is,
the German King did not express him
self in that way. The situation in
China is peculiar and in one scense re-
minds the statement of history of the
efforts of the crusaders Of middle age
times, to rescue Palestine from the
Turks. Every European nation sent
an army to drive the Turks out of Pales-
tine. 1t was a war of almost two CEN
turies and the Turk occupies Palestine
this Slst day of July in the year of our
Lord 1900.
All the strong nations of Europe have
armies in China to-day The United
States has an army there, and the door
of China is SO tightly closed that mes
sage from the Uuited States cannot be
gotten into Perkin to hear from the
American Ministers there, and the
question yet remains, are the foreign
Ministers dead or alive The proposal of
China to President Mckinley v to mediate
is in a restful state. The Chinese have not
taken up the Presidents answers as
quickly as 1t is was believed they would.
His offer was that the first condition
looking to mediation on the part of the
United States is that the United States

Has HAND CUT OFF.

A lad by the name of HOltZap-
pie whose father farms the Fickes
farm in Oliver township near New
port met with a horrible accident
on Thursday, while cutting oats
with a reaper. He reached down
to fix something about the machine
while it was in motion and his
right hand was cut off so quickly
and cleanly that he hardly felt it.
1t is said that he picked up the
severed hand and drove on with
the machine to the other end of the
field, where his father was, and,
going to him with the hand, asked
him to put it on again. When his
father explained that it was i'm
possible to do so the boy for the
first seemed to realize the extent of
his misfortune and completely
broke down and became uncOn-
scious from loss of blood. He was
taken home and a physician sum-
mOned, who dressed the severed
stump of his arm. - Bloomfield

must be put in direct communication
with its Ministers. That has not been
done, and the whole question is .
Chinese puzzle.
The news from China, July 30th, in
dicates the purpore to prevent the
900 Europeans in China from leaving
the country. The hint Of the Chinese is,
to hold the Europeans to prevent the
march Of European armies into China.
The men who have charge Of the tele-
graph stations in China are sending
dipatches of the most confusing and
cOntradicting character. The dispatch
es are of the most hOrrifying nature
that the Europeans have been wrapped
in cotton and the cotton set on fire, that
Europeans have committed suicide to
prevent torture when they fall into the
hands of the Chinese-Can such things
be true-The very latest dispatch is the
Ministers are all safe with an army of
Chinese insurgents surrounding them
IN Pekin, excepting the German Min
lister who is dead and buried.
If the Ministers are safe it does not
seem reasonable that the war with
China should continue. If the Minis
tiers are safe they should be gotten out
Of that country and the questions that
have lead up to represent unfortunate
state Of affairs should be settled with
out resort to murderOus warfare.
Dispatches on Wednesday say the
American minister and family are safe
at Pekin. The number Of Europeans
killed at Pekin is sixty.

PERFUME AND DISEASE.

Nature Practical, Not POetical, In
Scattering Sweet Blossoms.
A French physician has decided that
certain diseases. During an epidemic
his attention was attracted to the fact
that persons who constantly used per-
fumes escaped taking the disease. But
he found that the more delicate per-
fumes, like violet, lavender. altar Of
rose, were more efficacious than musk
and strong. rank essences.
Beccaria, the famous Italian botan-
list, long ago advised city officials TO
plant trees and shrubs with odorifer-
GUS blossoms or fragrant leaves along
the highways, courts and parks OF
cities, because these strong Odors pro-
duce ozone, and thereby purify the air
and make the city more healthful to
human beings confined to city streets

NEGROES were mobbed in New Or
leans last Thursday. The barbara
ties perpetrated were of the most re-
voting kind. A number of whites
were killed and woundt d in the riots
that took place. The police of the
city were Lot able TO cope successful
ly with the state of anarchy that pre-
vailed. The militia was called out to
quell the rioting. 1t is s,id the trou-
bic was caused by whites driving me-
groes from work.
The Withdrawal of the United
States troops from Cuba takes the
starch out of Bryan's talk of imper-
ialism. The Cubans are believed to
be sufficiently Americanized to govern
themselves. 1t is believed they can
govern themselves without having an
army at hand to quell disturbances
If they arc capable ot self govern
ment they will naturally drift in the
direction of the United States. They
cannot drift back to Spain or any
other kingly form of government
The Withdrawal Of the army from
Cuba shows how deluded Mr.. Bryan
and his followers are on the point of
what they call imperialism.

Some Juniata cattle on the free
pasture range along Shade noun
tain north of town have been pen
ned in Mifflin county. The owners
of the cattle and others living
along the mountain express the be-
lief that the cattle were driven
from the Juniata county side of
the mountain to the Mifflin county
side for a purpose best known to
the driver. 1t is reported that a
steer or two belonging to a Juniata
county citizen has been sold by a
cattle thief to a Mifflin county par
ty. Cattle thieves in the west are
hung to limb of the nearest tree.
1t has been learned to a certainty
that steer belonging to P. S.
Mumma, of Juniata county, found
it's way with other cattle to the
farm of Mr.. Arnold in Mifflin Co.,
and were penned by him for tres
pass, and while the cattle were
there, man appeared, claiming to
be from Juniata county, he said he
was on a search for cattle of his
that had gone astray from their
pasture along the JuDiata side of
the mountain. He was not long in
pointing out a steer as belonging to
him. He proposed to sell the steer,
saying. 1t would be too much
trouble to take the animal back
home. After a good deal of talk
he succeeded in selling the steer,
said to have been worth s25 to Mr..
Arnold for s.. Arnold sold the
steer to Mr.. Miller, at butcher in
Lewistown, for $1S. Ex-COunty
Commissioner, Francis Hover, of
Juniata county has a meat market
in LewistOwn, and Miller told him
about his purchase of a steer from
Arnold, also that Arnold had lot
of Juniata county cattle penned
for trespass. Hover and Miller
putting all the facts as they had
them, together, believed that there
was something not right about the
steer transaction and that caused
Hover to quickly inform the Jun
iata county people of the facts in
the case. OF course all interested
looked up their cattle. A steer
belonging to p. S. Mumma was
missing, and it was rightly con-
jectured that the steer was the one
sold to Arnold then to Miller and
by him slaughtered in Lewistown.
Miller had wisely kept the hide,
and when P. S. Mumma, C. f
Hover and Ed. Pannebaker went
to LewistOwn last Monday and
identified the hide by a private
mark that Mumma had on it, that
settled what had become of Num-
mas steer. Mr.. Miller had delayed
payment of the animal to Arnold.
He paid the $18 to the rightful
owner of the steer, Mr.. Mumma,
and Arnold is out So. All parties
are on the lOOk-Ou for the false
cattle owner who sold Mr.. Mum
mas steer.
