BLUFF GAME IN CHINA.
Won Waldersee Expedition Merely a
Show of Force.
BERLIN REAssURES WASHINGTON.
Administration Had Sent Instructions TO Our
Diplomatic Representatives to Protest /,
Against Hostile Operations, Which Had
the Effect Of Disclosing the Real Sigaii-
cance Of the Expedition.

Berlin (By Cable) 1t is understood
that United States Ambassador White
made representations to the foreign oil
fee regarding the reputed expedition OF
Count Won Waldersee into the interior
OF China, and that the foreign Office
gave him reassuring replies.
1t is understood that the foreign Of
fee told Mr. White that such eXpedi-
tions were designed chiefly to convince
the Chinese government that the pow
ers would not be triaed with.
This view oi the case is expressed
generally by the German press,
The National Zeitung and other in.
spired papers assert that Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee has no intention
OF embarling on a large expedition into
the interior OF China, but, they say that
the Chinese will find strong forces ready
to act if they continue to procrastinate
Won Waldersee's sphere OF action it is
pointed out, is limited to the Province
OF Chilli.
London (By Cable e).-The American
opposition to Count Won Waldersees S
reported action receives cordial sym.
pathy from the British authorities
though they are inclined to doubt
whether the right construction IS placed
upon his motives Lord Salisbury has
so often put England on record as op-
posed to aggressive military operations
in China that officials here can scarcely
conceive that Count Won Waldersee
would issue orders SO utterly at vari-
ancc with the attitude OF Great Britain
and the United States.
Washington (SpeciaD - Minister
Conger has been instructed by cable to
communicate to the foreign ministers
at Pellin the feeling Of the United States
government that further hostile eNpedi-

Patton, Pa. (SpeciaD The body oil
Charles Fetsco, the seven-year-old son
of John Fetsco, who had been missing
from his home for four days, has been
found in a mine t-each near Hastings.
The boy is supposed TO have wandered
from his home and to have accidentally
fallen into the hole. The discovery OF
his almost nude corpse in the big hole,
which was seven feet deep, showed that
he starved and froze to death after max
ing a most desperate effort to escape.
His feet and fingers were worn through

THE ARRIVAL OF REINFORCEMENTS,
A Train Containing Ills Baggage DeralIed by
the Beers at Kip River and His Clothing
and Stores Captured Time that lie
Has Had a Close Car From Falling Into the
Clutches Oi De Wet

London (By Cable) "A special dis
patch from Pretoria says the Beers, at
Kip River, February I8, derailed a
train containing General Kitchener
baggage. The train was preceded by
another on which the commander-ln-
chief was a passenger An armored
train drove off the Beers, but the latter
secured the contents of the train de-
relied.
Lord Kitchener second narrow es-
cape from capture calls out newspaper
warnings as to the danger Of his rapid
fittings by train from place to place
1t is considered better for him to re-
main in Pretoria than to risk upsetting
his carefully elaborated plan OF cam
paign.
AS Lord Kitchener is now back in
Pretoria, the inference is that General
de Wet has again escaped from the sup
posed Gordon.

CENTER.

P. j. Schales was at Evening
Shade this week.
Well, we are having some win
ter now, and lots Of grippe with
it.
Frank Stewart had business al
Evening Shade day or two this

Miss Saphrona Tadlock, a

township was in our midst last
week buying calves. He only
wanted twelve head, but he pur-
chased Is good ones.
The wife of Henry Butts died
on the 4th of confinement and
heart trouble. Mr.. Butts is left
in a pitiable condition five small
children, and no one to care for
them but him. He has the SYM
pathy of all.
From what we hear Center is
on the eve of a big boom. Our
blacksmith, Andy Hogan, has
bought a house and lot; John
Lott, our foremost horse jockey,
has bought a house in town; Esq.
Frank Stewart is going to build
a house on the east side of the
braach on the Smithville road.
We find we were mistaken.
We thought all the tramps and
deadbeats has gone into the SER
vice of the United States, but it
is not 50. This part has been
visited by one at least. He came
in wanting to buy a farm from
Alex Paden. He contracted for
one and bought a house pattern
of Lee Mckinney. He and his
wife boarded with Andy Sanders.
He bought S. or $40 worth of
goods on a credit at Paden's
store, and claimed that $500
was due him from Oklahoma,
where he came from. He also
claimed to have two mules and a
household outfit at Black Rock.
The next day after buying the
goods he and his wife left and
have not returned since. Since
a comparison of his story it is
plain that he was a humbug. The
man claimed the name of Towan,
came in on foot and went out the
same way.
