Uncle Sans Chinese Policy.

Washington, July 20.-As result
of the cabinet meetings held Tuesday
and yesterday the policy of the Unit-
ed States concerning the great world
crisis in China is fully and definitely
decided upon. The substance of this
policy is as follows:
The United States will under no cir
.cumstances join in the partition of
China among the powers.
The United States will use all its in
iluence, to the utmost extent, short OF
war with European nations, to pre-
vent the dismemberment of the
Chinese empire.
The United States proposes to have a
voice in the settlement of the Chinese
trouble, and its voice will ever be
raised against spoliation and in fav.
or of the preservation of China's ter
ritorial and governmental entity
long the lines set forth in Secretary
Hays note to the powers dated July 3
The United States will not declar,
war upon China on the present show
ing of facts, no matter what other pow
ers may do.
The United States, acting independ
emily and for itself, will co-operat,
with the other powers in restoring
order in China, in furnishing all Off
Gals, high or low, found guilty o
crimes against human life, in getting
up stable government that may Civ,
guarantees of security of life anC
property and freedom of trade.

Bishop Fink, of the diocese of Leav-
enworth, has sent out to all the deans
of the diocese "a letter inclosing his
recent order relative to members of
the Catholic church joining the Mod
ern Woodmen and the Maccabee Sc
cret orders.
The Introduction reads as follows:
every Reverend Dear Father-Please
make knownto the priests of your dean
cry that the right reverend bishop, on
examination, has found that the socie-
ties of the Modern Woodmen and Mac
cabees are, in his opinion, societies
which no practical Catholic is allowed
to join, or remain member thereof.
He desires the priests of his diocese
to keep the faithful in tieir charge
from entering them"
The Introduction will be read in the
Leavenworth cathedral next Sunday.
There is much opposition TO the bisA-
ops ruling and it will certainly worl,
hardship on the Catholic mombers
of the orders should they obey it. The
two orders have a ilourishing member
ship in lola and the order will be read
with interest by all lodge members.

One of the saddest news items which
has come to the REGISTER for many a
long day was told to a reporter last
week Miss Bertha Rudrow who
has lived in this city less than year,
but in that time has won a wide circle
of friends, who will be grieved to
learn that she is very i'll. For several
weeks she has been having hem
mortgages of the lungs and the
doctors have seriously questioned
whether she had better not be taken to
Colorado or Arizona. The family
prepared to go but she is now too
weak to be moved and an attempt will
be made to nurse her back to health
here. Miss Rudrow is engaged and
was to have been married Thursday of
this week to Mr.. Robert Dampier, a
wealthy merchant of Louisiana and
he has been here some time, but the
ceremony has been postponed indef-
nitely, adding additional pathos to
the young lady's illness. The REGIS
TER with all her other friends hopes
for her speedy return to health and
happiness.

Rnral Free Delivery Routes.

Right now while the government has
a special agent working in Kansas
investigating applications for the
establishment of rural free delivery
routes, Allen county people should go
after them if they would secure them.
Many are being favorably reported
upon by Mr.. Rising, the agent,
Chanute, for instance, having three in
prospect. AS there may be question
in some places as to howl they are to
be secured the REGISTER inquired of
postmaster Henderson.
The first thing is a petition signed
by residents along the proposed mail
route asking for its establishment and
pledging their patronage. In this
petition they also agree to put up
mail boxes at convenient places on the
road side where the carrier may easily
have access to them and there is an
agreement to keep the road in good
condition, so as to be passable in all
kinds of weather, at all seasons of the
year.
These are the main points in the
negotiations and exact information
on the subject is easily obtainable.
1t is up to the residents of Allen
county to say whether they are willing
to fulfill the requirements and want
the routes.

Allen Connty,s E1nense BiIl.

County clerk Fronk. last week com
pleted the report of the last quarters
expenses of this county, which shows
that the total expenses for the year
ending July /, 1900, was s27, 2s5. 80
Ten years ago, in 1890, the bill was
1913, 1927 A, which would indicate that
the county is not spending much more
money than it was then.
The total of the last quarter this
year, $. 25693, is itemized as follows:
commissioners Sls7 so: county officers
81, 702 .02; witnesses $3.50. 40: jurors
S217.3j: sheriff and bailiffs S453.S0
prisoners S643.70 deaf and dumb $50.
so; justices and constables 1910;
poor 81 1863. AZ, which includes about
$500 for smallpox; fuel, lights, etc
SIS. 40; assessors 81, $3.50; books etc
sl46.5S; printing $2l3.10; Sjpt. com
mon schools S56; roads and bridges
$55s. 90; wolf scalps S57; miscellane-
Gus $760.2l The general election
last fall cost S4OS.sO. And thus that
$40, 900 of Republican extravaganza"
which has acted like green apples on
the systems of the Democrats and
Populists and is 'viewed with alarm"
in their county resolutions, is shown
to be exaggerated just about $4,000.
Would it not be dangerous to put such
figure jugglers in charge of the county
finances.

FOOT TERRIBLY CRUSHED.
Robert Pickett Stepped Into Mixer
at Works No. /, and His Toes
We're Cut off and His
Leg Hurt

About IL o'clo ok last Friday Rob-
ert Pickett, one of the men employed
at the Lanyon Zinc Company's works
number one. stepped into the mixer
trough and his foot was terribly
lacerated, all the toes being cut off
and the flesh torn from his right leg.
Several months ago Harvey Dowler
sustained a somewhat similar injury
at the same place and was laid up for
some time. The mixer is a long
trough set in the floor, in which a
long screw works. The ore and coke
and coal are thrown into this and at
the same time mixed and carried
along to the elevator. The screw fills
the trough and is driven by power
shaft, provision being made for
quickly stopping it. AS the screw re-
wolves it is possible for ones foot to
slip into the trough and this is what
happened to Mr.. Pickett. The ma
chinery was stopped as soon as pos
sible by one of the other workmen,
but Mr.. Puckett's foot had been
drawn beneath the sharp edge of the
screw. He was pulled away from the
mixer and medical aid summoned.
The toes of his right foot were cut off
but in some way the ankle escaped
injury and he will probably not lose
his foot. The flesh was torn from his
leg above the ankle and the bone
laid bare. AS soon as the wounds
were dressed he was taken to the hos
pital in Bricktown and everything
possible will be done for him.
Mr.. Pickett is a new man here, hav-
ing recently moved here and began
work at the smelter two days ago.

Friday, August Both and 3lst. This
is one of the largest associations of
old settlers in the State, and is grow
ing in numbers every year. At the

reason to believe the attendance will
be much larger this year. The asso-
citation includes the counties of Allen,
Anderson, Coffey, and Woodson, and
there are but few "old timers" in the
district who fail to attend these meet
ings. An interesting program will be
arranged and number of the best
Speakers in the State will be in at
tendance. The officers of the asso-
citation are d. w. Finney, president;
d. r. Inge, Treasurer; j. N. Stout,

Invited the Whnle Town.

The Paola Spirit had an interview
with N. +. Acers before the latter left
for his home, and Mr.. Acers seems to
have invited all Paola here, which in
vitation the town will back if neces-
sary. The Spirit says:
Hon. Nelson Acers returned to his
home in lola last Wednesday. Before
leaving he called at the Spirit office
and talked over the unfortunate hap
penings of the night of the 18th inst &,
which have been much misrepresented
through the press. Mr.. Acers, with
the citizens of Paola who successfully
entertained the large convention, re-
grets the occurrence that married the
occasion-the convention doings. "ln
the first place, said Mr.. Acers, there
was no row and there was no fight,
for | didn't try to fight back. Sec
ondly, the trouble didn't occur in a
joint--it was in billiard parlor sep
arated by partitions; in the third
place, as the billiard tables were not
used the chairs were occupied by many
from the hotel near by and the place
was used for talking and resting; in
the fourth place | wasn't hurt as seri-
ously as some of your town papers put
it. nor nearly so bad as the Kansas
City paper gave it out through some
sensational correspondent: and, to
make long story short, the whole at
fair was the outcome of few unlucky
turns so often seen by men who have
much to do with the world-especially
the political world. | hold no re-
sentiment against the Formers, and if
that picture of Cleveland was made
much the worse by me or my friends
than it was when we went in there, ]
can and will pay double. 1t was
wrong to use me the way they did, but
| do not blame your town or your
citizens who so well cared for the
many delegates and visitors who were
here" "What do you think of the
outlook ?" asked the editor of the
Spirit. 81 think" said Mr.. Acers,
"Kansas will go for Bryan by q
larger majority than it did in 1896,
and furthermore, think the Second
Congressional District will re-elect
Mr.. Peters. Now then, before
leave on this train" added Mr.. Acers
