A RED CROSS COMPLAINT
Dutch Society Deals Bitterly With
Capture of Ambulance Corps

The Hague, Oct. 3O-The report OF
the Dutch Red Cross Society, just pub
lished, deals bitterly with the capture
of the Dutch ambulance corps near
Pretoria, July >, 1900. II declares the
British knew before the ambulance
left Pretoria that it carried private
letters from Boer families to men in
the field, and thatthey did not protest,
but allowed the ambulance to start,
and then captured it outside the town
and used the letters as u pretext for
deporting the doctors and nurses. who
are still in captivity on the Island of
Ceylon. The Red Cross committee
subsequently persistently lappealed to
Lord Kitchener to redeem his promise
to Mrs. Botha and allow the doctors
and medicines to pass through the
British lines for the benefit of the
Beers, but no response was made to
her representations

tary Roots report and discussing the

CATTLE FOR COLLEGE.
More Prize winners Added to the

Manhattan, Oct,30.-- Secretary f.
ID. Coburn purchased for the Kansas
State Agricultural college the pure bred
Galloway bull, First King of Avon, of
o. II. Swigart, Champaign, Ill. This
bull was purchased at the American
Royal cattle show, Kansas City, where
he won first prize in competition.
First King of Avon this year also
won first prizes at the Pan-American
exposition and at the Michigan state
fair, and won second at the state fair ,
OF Iowa, Minnesota. Wisconsin and
Illinois. He is most perfect in form and
will be used in teaching students the
form of a model beef animal.
Besides being wonderful individul.
the college bull is one of the best bred
bulls in American. His sire. King
Hensol, was a great winner at the Col
umbian worlds fair and at state fairs.
and stood at the head of the first prize
herd at the Interstate fair, Atlanta,
wining over shorthorns, Herefords and
Red Poles, the Hereford herd being
headed by the $1,000 imported bull,

be necessary, 1t is understood, TO send
to the Philippines at once half dozen
regiments selected for the service last
week. Secretary Root said that the
sporadic outbreaks al isolated points
in the islands would be dealt with
properly as they arose, and additional
troops to meet these small emergencies
scarcely would be needed.
The President announced that the

MORE FATALITIES EXPECTED
1000 Pounds of Ammunition
Were Expended
The Most of the Trouble Seems to be
over and no More Serious lClashes
are Looked for

New Orleans, Oct. 30.-The exact
number of pegroes killed at the Dun.
can chapel, or Live Oak church, and
in its vicinity will perhaps never be
learned. A staff correspondent of the
Picayune, who left Balltown yesterday
afternoon, wires from Poplarville that
nine dead negroes were found Sunday
night on the scene of the clash between
the races, and buried Monday after
noon in roughly dug graves. AT
least dozen badly wounded negroes,
he states, are known to have sought
refuge in the woods, and the chances
are that many bullets found lodgment
in blacks who escaped to the fastness
of the turpentine forests to die.
Sheriff Simmons of Washington
parish, who was ones of the first to
reach Balltown, has not changed his
original estimate Of thirty dead, and
1t is probable that he is as nearly cor
rect as anyone can be. Refugee blacks
who reached LumbertUn, Amite City
and Poplarville today say they heard
desultory firing until well on into Mon
day morning. AT such time men do
not fire into the air. Balltown is stu-
ated in wild, heavily wooded coun-
try, and swamps are everywhere. In
formation has already been received
ut several points of the finding of dead
negroes, and tidings of such discov-
cries may continue for several days.
At least 1000 rounds OF ammunition
were eexpended.
So far but one white man is dead,
Joseph Seal, aged %. He was buried
from his home at Varanado thisafter-
noon. Another is dying, Charles
Thomas Elliott, aged 26 Edward
Thompson, 45, is shot twice, once in

will recover. These were the only
three whites shot.
There was no real fighting after the
Duncan chapel battle had been de-
cided. The fate meted out to Crea
Lett, Charles Conaelly and the other
negroes quelled all idea OF anything
like organized resistance among the
blacks, and such subsequent shootings
as occurred during the remainder OF
the night and Monday morning we're
not of nature to seek the light.

FIND BOGUS SODA FLAVoRs,
There Are More Substitutes for Va
nilIn Than for Any other
Extract.

The chemist and the prevention of
sale OF adulterated and impure food
have put their rejected brand on an
other favorite beverage. Patrons OF
the soda fountain who have been
taught to ask for lemon or vanilla
fiavoring, for the alleged reason that
those sirups were less liable than 9TH
ers to adulteration, will be surprised
at the assertion that there is no ex-
tract for which substitutes are more
often used than vanilla. This is said
on the authority OF the Massachusett it's
board of health. The true vanilla bean
costs from $40 to SIG per pound and
were there no substitute it could not
be used 80 freely and so extensively
as tpresent. Vanillin, the active prop
erty OF the extract, can be made from
other substances at a cost of about
two dollars per gallon. The artificial
compound is chemically identical with
the vanillin found in the true vanilla
extract, and therefore has come to be
used extensively by manufacturers and
dealers. 1t has been made for com
mercial purposes from turpentine,
but more satisfactory results are OBJ
tanned from oil of cloves or benkoic
acid, and it is now extracted chiefly
from these. 1t is considered harmless
when taken in small quantities and has
been found to possess certain medici-
nal properties. Experiments on frogs
with large quantities have, however.
caused spinal cOnvulsions. There is
some comfort for confirmed soda wa
ter drinkers, and a general warning
for others, in the further statement by
the Massachusetts authorities that the
metallic contamination of the water
used in glass of soda is far more
detrimental TO health than any adul
teration of the flavoring sirup.

WE MAY BUY AN ISLAND
State Investigating The Title to Prop
erty at LeaVenWOrth.

Topeka, Oct, 30. Steiger's island
In the Missouri river near tho city of
Leavenworth may be purchased by the
State as a result of an investigation
in the condition of the title which was
made yesterday by Assistant Attorney
General Clad Hamilton. Vinton
Stillings who owns about 1000 acres
on the southern end of the island, has
oeen negotiating with the directors of
the penitentiary for the sale of the is
land, which will be used by the state
for a coal mine. II the result of Mr..
Hamilton's investigation proves salts
factory the purchase may be made.
This island originally consisted of
but 229 acres and the patent from the
government for the island was issued
TO Vinton Stillings. He now owns but
half the island and the accretious of
the Missouri have increased his share
10 close to 1000 acres. Mr.. Hamilton
must decide whether all of this land
belongs to Stillings and whether the
Aoldhd 10 III AdhSdo vi III p'lSSOuIl.
The south half of the island is claimed
by Abner Whitley. He and Stillings
have been fighting in court for the
possession of the southern half of the
island for a number of of years and
all of the litigation has been carried
on in Missouri courts. This fact
would indicate that the island is in
Missouri and that Kansas has no
right to purchase it. However the
island is said to lie on the Kansas
side of the river.
If the state purchases the island it
will pay in the neighborhood of $40
an acre for it. Mr.. Stillings bases
his opinion that the island is on Kan
sas territory on the fact that a murder
was committed there some years ago
and the murderer is now serving
sentence in the Kansas penitentiary,
having been convicted in Kansas
courts.
