While in the Building.
Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 20.-Mrs.
Rose Hudson, wife of John Hudson, a
"joint" keeper at Milwood, 40 miles
north of this city, was shot and in.
stantly killed in a raid upon her
husbands saloon. One of the raiders
was slightly wounded. Hudson had
been warned to close his place, but
refused. About 10 o'clock three men
entered and called for drinks. When
served they raped on the counter,
evidently to give signal. Hudson
jumped from behind the bar and
grappled with one of the men. In the
scrimmage shotgun, which one of
the men carried, was discharged. The
contents entered the wall. Mrs. Hud-
son, attracted by the noise, ran
screaming into the room, while mob
of 40 men, most of whom wore masks,
entered in answer to the signal. In
the melee that followed another
charge was fired from the shotgun. It
struck Mrs. Hudson, tearing off the
top of her head. William Webb, one
of the raiders, was struck in the
shoulder by revolver bullet. Nearly
hundred shots were fired.
Hudson carried his dying wife into
an adjoining room and the mob re-
tired without wrecking the "joint."
Sheriff Everhardt, who went to
Milwood, has secured four prisoners,
two of whom are John and Henry Will
son, young farmers. There we're no
women in the mob. which was COM
posed of farmers in disguise. There
is much excitement and further
trouble is anticipated.

washington, Feb. 2O.-This govern.
nent will not join in the contemplated
movement of the allied armies against
China and an Indication of our pur-
pose will be sent to the powers. This
determination was reached at a cabi-

unwise from every point of view and
would be in the nature of q demand
that China shall do what is probably
impossible for her to accomplish.
At the meeting message from Min

to the proposed military expedition
in China under command of Count
Won Waldersee. It disclosed the fact
that our minister had protested to the

They will take up the work where the old contractor left of, when he threw up the job. The above firm has plenty of money be- hind it, and will not worry the build ing committee by asking for small ad- vances. but will do the work according to contract and specifications and will turn over the new church to the com mittee by the middle of october or the first of November. The committee has been very much annoyed by the failure of the old contractor. but the members feel confident now that everything will work along smoothly under the new order of things. The congregation is using the Y. M. c. A. building.
 The Quartermasters Department of the Alabama National Guard, has made an inquiry of Captain V. B. Atkins of the Dallas Light Dragons. to know how many men he will take to the approaching encampment.

 A Some days ago the Summerfieid Methodist Orphans Home made known the fact that it needed $2,OOO to do some repairs on the building. The Treasurer, Mir. H. H. Stewart, has re- ceived a remittance of $100 from the Methodist Church at Saginaw, Ala. This is a magnificent contribution, when the size of the Saginaw Church is taken into consideration. It only has a membership of-twenty. but there are ninety active members of the Sun-
 day School. If all other churcnes will come up as this little Saginaw church has done. the Summerfield orphans will soon have their building recover ed and new iron bedsteads and other furniture placed in the building. There will be a Childrens Day exer- else at the First Presbyterian Church of this city Sunday afternoon. Rev.
 Paxton will address the audience on the subject of "The Children of
 China" MT. Paxton is an interesting and eloquent speaker. He has that
 magnetism which draws both old and
 young toward him in love and admira- tion. He has been a missionary for several years in China, and will no doubt tell the young folks many things
 about the China" Children on the
 other side of the globe.
 Mir. Paxton leaves Selma next week
 for his home in virginie. from whence
 in the near future, he will go to re-
 sume his work among the heather in China.

But Montgomery and Selma together could employ a man and have him go from one place to the other as he is needed. Why not consider this matter?
