CHINESE DISASTER.
Landslide and Flood Cause .Loss of
800 Lives and Great Destruc-
tiOn to Property.

Tacoma, WASH, July 9.-Canton ad-
vices by the steamer Braemer give
details of the loss of 300 lives by
landslide and flood, occurring at
Lung Keng in June. The landslide
was caused by a tremendous earth
quake which unsettled land and sea.
There were many crashes resembling
thunder and it became very dark.
Native accounts state that great
flood of water poured out of the
mountains, carrying everything be-
fore it. Two hundred houses were
swept away and the fields swept bare
of crops. Several great landslides
occurred, carrying large portion of
Lung Keng into the bay. What ap-
peared like n tidal wave followed,
making it impossible for any who
were carried into the water to es-
cape.

Big Convention.

Cincinnati, July 9.-After the busi-.
ness sessions of Saturday and the
evangelist and other mass meetings
of Sunday, the regular programmes of
the twentieth international conven-
ton of the Christian Endeavor were
begun Monday. Several of the largest
churches in the central part of the
city were used in addition to Odeon

heretofore used for exposition pur-
poses. Two quiet hour meetings were
held from eight to nine a. m, conduct
ed by Floyd w. Thompson, of Phila-
delphia, and Cornelius Worlfkin, OF

The chief topic of interest at the
meetings Monday was the address,,
or rather, eXtemporaneou talk at
the Central Christian church of Rev.

who is recognized among the church
workers as the logical successor of
the late evangelist, DIR. Dwight l..

An advance step taken at the Port

been shown by the fact taat many of the

KILLS HIMSELF.
Son of Andrew ID. White, Our Am-
bassador TO Germany, Takes
His own Life.

Syracuse, n. V, July 9.-Frederick
ID. White, son of Andrew ID. White,
United States ambassador to Ger
o'clock Monday afternoon at his
home in this city. Prolonged ill
health and persistent and exhaust
ing nervous disease is given as the
only possible explanation of his act.
Mr. White had appeared to be in
usual health during the day and had
attended to matters of business in
the management of the White es-
tate. He was alone in the house with
the servants during part of the after
noon. Mrs. White returned shortly
after five o'clock and found Mr.. White
dead in the bathroom. bullet FROM
rife had passed through his brain
and death had been instantaneous
No one heard the shot.
Some IS years ago, on completing
his course at Columbia Law college,
Mr.. White had severe attack of ty-
phoid fever, from which he never re-
covered. Stomach and intestinal
troubles resulted. Later his nervous
system became weakened and within
few years neurasthenia developed.
About year ago he suffered severe
attack of the complaint. During the
recent hot spell another attack of the
disease came on, leaving him in a
state of acute nervousness.
Mr.. White had been about town dur
ing the forenoon, and appeared bright
and hopeful, and it is believed that he
did not premeditate suicide From the
appearance of the body when found
it is supposed that ne placed the bar
rel of the rife in his mouth and dis
charged it with his foot. Coroner
Matthews made an examination of the
body, and it was at first given out that
death was due to cerebral hemor-
rhage. The announcement of Mr..
Whites death was received with great
sorrow in this city, where he occupied
prominent position in social circles.
A cablegram announcing his death
was sent to Ambassador White at Ber-
lin. AS yet no arrangements for the
funeral have been made.
Frederick b. White was the only
son of Ambassador White. He was
born in Ann Arbor. Mich. December
Is, 1859. He was educated at Cornell
university and also in the University
of Berlin, Prussia. He studied in Co.
lumbia Law college, New York. from
1882 to 1884. In the latter year he
was, admitted to the bar at Bing-
hamton. n. Y, and afterwards prac-
ticed his profession in this city. Much
of his time in later years have been
devoted to the management of prop.
erty owned by himself and his father.

the most prominent business men of
Fort Scott was just four minutes in
finding one of the states new liquor
laws passed as a result of Mrs. Ma

HELD FOR MURDER.
An Awful Deed Charged Against q
Business Man of Hunter
town, Ind.

Fort Wayne, Ind, July 9.-Charles
and 65 years old, was arrested at Hun
tertown, ten miles north of this city,
Monday night at ten o'clock, charged
with the murder of ten-year-old Alice
Cothrell. The little girls dead body
was found Monday afternoon in els
tern under Dunn's house. Last
Wednesday the little girl was sent to
Dunn's house on an errand. She did
not return home, and search was in
stituted. But it was not until Sunday
that her body was found. Marie Sam
pleton, domestic, was washing when
Alice Cothrell came to Dunn's house,
and says that the little girl left for
home at one o'clock in the afternoon.
Other neighbors, however, say they
saw her going back to the place later.
Dunn returned home at two o'clock
from the country, where he had a
force of men cutting logs. Nothing
more was seen of the child.
On Sunday morning the farmers and
villagers who had been engaged in
the search for four days decided to
search Dunn's premises, as the fact
that the child had been seen last at
his house lent color to suspicious.
Dunn objected, but three men entered
the house and dragged the cistern,
soon bringing up the dead body. The
cistern is under the kitchen, and the
walter is drawn through trap door
SO small that even a small child could
not fall through it except by holding
the arms tightly against the sides.
The authorities were Immediately
notified, and the coroner made a post
mortem examination. The result was
not made known until after the inquest
Monday night. The coroner, DIR. Bar
nett, and DR.. Greenwell, who assisted
him, say that death evidently resulted
from strangulation, as cords of the
throat were swollen. She was dead
when placed in the water, the lungs and
ducts being in such condition as to hold
the theory of drowning untenable.
The autopsy showed that an outrage
had been attempted. The doctors and
officers say that there can be no doubt
that the girl was murdered and thrown
into the cistern. The presence of Dunn
at the house, his conflicting stories on
the stand at the inquest, his refusal to
allow his premises to be searched, and
all other circumstances pointed so
strongly to his guilt that the coroner
ordered his arrest.

Wheat Stacks burned.

Great Bend, Kan, July 9.-Fifteen
flames here Monday afternoon. The fire
was started by an unknown man
throwing a lighted cigar into field
of wheat stubble. Everything was as
dry as tinder, and soon a destructive
fire was in progress. The inhabitants
all left their work and exhausted all
the methods they knew for fighting
fires, but to no avail, and it was late
Monday evening before the fire was
under control. Roughly estimated,
the loss in wheat will aggregate 3oO,-
900 bushels, nearly all of which was
in stack.

The church was packed to the walls
during his talk.
The junior endeavorers met at
the First English Lutheran church,
where Treasurer William Shaw, of
Boston, was the principal speaker.
A unique feature of the convention
is the MONDAY evangelistic work ar
ranged under the direction of DIR. c.
l.. Work, of Cincinnati. Services
were held in the tenement and manu-
featuring districts by ladies and gen.
tlemen visitors, who volunteered
their services.
At the big rally in Auditorium

Tunnis Hamlin, of Washington, was
given the honor of presiding, which
had been arranged to have been con-
Quoted by President Francis Clark.
Rev. Hamlin's meeting Saturday
night was declared off and President
unusually large outpouring attended
the rally. Rev. Ira Landrith, of
Nashville, Tenn, spoke on the home
as "the happiest place on earth,"
and said that the more affairs there
are in the home the less skeletons
there are in the family closet. DIR.
j. L. Pounds, of Cleveland, told them
what are the best books, how to
read them as well as select and di.
gest their contents.
The afternoons programme was
equally as interesting as the one in
the morning and enough meetings
were held in the various places of as
sembling to give all visitors and
local endeavorers n chance to attend.
The big meeting at Auditorium Will
liston was presided over by James
Lewis Howe. of Lexington, Va.
The local district and state union
officers met during the day and dis
cussed business, rs also did the preach

ferred in the Central Christian
church, and the mission workers in
the Second Presbyterian church, and

Clark received personally all Endeav-
orers who have been members for ten
years and longer. The reception took
place in the Odon, adjoining the Music
hall auditoriums, and hundreds took
the opportunity to meet DR.. Clark.
The rally in Auditorium Endeavor
in the evening was in many respects
the most remarkable of the conven-
tion. The meeting which was to have
been held in Auditorium Ohio was con-
solidated with the one in Auditorium
Endcavor, and both programmes were
cancelled to make room for the main
speakers of the convention-Hon. S.

seating capacity of over 5000. was

to close and bar the doors in the faces
of the clamorous crowd that were un-
able to gain admission.
The enthusiasm reached it's height
after the adjournment when the del
egates and those present boarded
their cars. They took possession, and
with hymns floating out into the
chilly night air were transported to
their homes and domiciles, still sing

There is more Catarrh in this section

put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to bea constitutional disease, and, there
fore, requires constitutional treatment.
