tanning Presbyterian Sun
day School Funds.

Alliance, May 31.-The business of
L. F. Bower, the meat man, who so
mysteriously disappeared Monday
evening. is in a more chaotic condition
than was at first reported.
Anxious creditors have been consult
ing lawyers hourly since his departure
and the rush continues.
On Tuesday evening w. H. Randolph
received letter from Bowers which
was mailed on train westward bound.
In it he enclosed key to drawer IA
the safe which contained funds of the
Presbyterian Sunday school, of which
he was treasurer. The money was
found where he said 1t would be.
A report, which could not be verified,
said Bower collected all the bills he
possibly could previous to his depar-
ture, and took the money with him. SO
far, about $500 of Indebtedness has
come to the front.

Searching for a Body.

UhrichsviIle, May 3f.AA boy fishing
in little saltwater near the Uhrichs-
vile fair grounds on Wednesday last
caught his hook in a weighty object
which he drew to the bank: when he
stopped to free his hook from its en-
tanglement the boy discovered that he
had small closed sack. Out of boyish
curiosity he cut one end of the sack
open but was terribly frightened when
the head and hand of very small
child came to view and threw the sack
back into the water. The boy hurried
up town and told Mayor Reed Of his
fin Although the police worked for
hours Wednesday evening and Thurs
day morning with drag hook they did
not find the body. Coroner Barton was
notified and the Uhrichsville authori-
ties asked IL the county would bear the
expense of more thorough search.
This the county officers thought best
not to do. as their only assurance that
the body of child was in the creek
was the statement made by badly
frightened boy. The boy no doubt feels
positive as to the nature of his find and
it may be but matter of few days
until further developments will prove
his story correct.

SENATOR'S JOBS SAFE.
People Need Rest From Politics.
Would Result In Campaign OF
Person aiities.

Columbia. 8. g., June 1.-Governor
McSweeney has rejected the resigna'
tions OF Senators Tillman and Nc.
I.hurin. to give them time to consider
their action.
He wrote a communication to the
senators, in which he first said that
he returned their designations for
further consideration" AS their &C.
ton was taken in the heat Of debate
and without full consideration Of the
effects upon the people. In the clos
ing paragraphs Of his letter, however.
the governor unoquivocally declines
to accept the designations. He said In
part that canvass between them
would result in bitterness. stir up the
people in an of year, when they need
ed rest from politics, and at period
when they were trying to get together
for the material progress Of the state.
and 1t would be campaign Of per.

A FORKLESS PYGMY
Mclaurin Asserts HiS Own
Democracy Is of Simon
Pure Brand--Why Should
TiIlman n Oppose? -.

Charleston, s. c., May 31.-Senator
John l.. McLaurin issued an address
to the people of the state from his
home in Bonnettsville. He opened by
saying that the recent address to the
people by Senator Tillman makes 1t
necessary that he should say some
thing in explanation OF his motives
and actions and that had 1t not been
for Senator Tillman's intrusion upon
the Gaffney meeting there would have
been no necessity for it. A joint de-
bate was precipitated by him, con-
trary to my wishes and Of the gentle
men who invited me-" He con-
tinues:
1T is too late now to consider
whether it was wise or unwise, and
the people must judge between us.
l desire to announce my candidacy in
opposition to the senior senator for
the unexpired long term, and | will
discuss with him in fair and reputa-
BILE manner the national issues of the
day, and leave it to you to judge who
can more honestly and honorably rep
resent you in the United States SEN
ate. In 1897 | was elected to the
senate as a Democrat and | am stu
q Democrat"
Senator McLaurin says that his re-
cent Greenville speech gave the peo-
pie the reason for his official actions
since 1899, but that the address Of
Senator Tillman makes it necessary
Tor him to say he is a Democrat, and
continues:
The senior senator charges that
am Republican and was organizing
Republican party here. If he be-
lieved this charge. why did he consent
to run with me- in a Democratic
primary? | denounce the charge as
IN Infamous falsehood, and the senior
senator knows what he says is un-
true. He charges shat the dispensing
of the public patronage has been
placed at my disposa. and unlimited
. money !a furnished me- by Republi.
cans to AID IN tha scheme of the or
ganization S a 5ow parry. denounce
this as q malicious faisehood.
"The people shall Judge of our De-
mocrary, ard not the senior senator.
The senior senator is addicted to maxi
ing reckless anc false charges against
others which be never substantiates.
An honest man is always chary in
charging others with dishonesty; the
thief often cries stop thief he is an

of the political peace and harmony OF
South Carolina"
Senator McLaurin closes as follows:
Fellow Citizens-There will never
be anything like unity or quietude
among our people until he is rele.
gated To private life. His incendiary
appeals 10 class hatred and prejudice.
such as he made at Gaffney to factory
operatives, and his dictatorial spirit
and utterances will keep up dissen.
sions and discord In the state. With
. the aid of the people I will make a
heroic effort to break down bossism
with its train Of political evils. and
invite all good citizens to assist me
to inaugurate an era Of free Thought
free speech and Independence of ac.
lloh IN south Carolina. The senior
senator. in the quietude of a farmers

viewed as pitchforkiess pigmy, and

china's Action Pleasing
But Envoys Fail to See How It Can
Be Guaranteed.

Pekin. a June l.--China's uncondi.
tional acceptance Of 450.000,000 taels
as the indemnity to he paid the pow
ers has caused great satisfaction
among the foreign ministers, as it
ohly leaves. practically. few minor
details to complete the negotiations.
The phrase Of the point note, ito
the satisfaction Of the powers" may
cause some delay in the evacuation
of Chinese territory. as the ministers
fail to see how China can guarantee
payment, as all the ministers believe
1t would be mistake to have large
tody Of foreign officials collecting
revenue. Were revenue thus collect.
ed. over 1000 officials would be re.
quired. and ths aggregate salaries OF
these men would be very large, and
amount to more than the ordinary
Chinese squeeze"
The majority of the ministers now
favor raising the customs to 10 per
cent and taking 100000 taels yearly
from the likin tax. This method
would give, after the payment Of inter.
est on foreign debts now existing,
about 100000 taels a year. The
ministers would agree to this system
II China will discontinue the collec-
tion of all likin duties ON foreign
g,ods.

Wheeling, June Through the
failure Of council to pass an emer-

Tuesday, City Clerk O'Brien was un-
pble to pay of the 80 Wheeling police
officers. Thereupon they announced
their intention to go on strike Satur-

up, and said he would not appoint

period Of absence Of police proteal
tion, and general alarm was felt.
Last night, however, one of the
councilmen, DR.. Haskins. agreed to
pay the police officers their salaries,
