lola Needs u Hospital.

where injured people aud sick people
who had no homes here might receive
proper nursing and be properly
hou sed. AS II result the Dunkard
Hopltal was started and nourishcd
for while, but welt into disuse
rapidly.
Today there is not public place
where people may be cared for and
this town needs such a place badly.
The two men burned at the cement
quarry Monday, are not receiving
the care they should have and are
housed in a most unsuitable place be-
cause there is not a public hospital to
which they can be removed. a man
is man even if he be a stranger and
poor and unfortunate and sick, and
lola ought to have some place where
the injured and the sick may have
proper and decent attention.

Mitchell. now serving in the Philip
pines. The letter was dated month
ago, Of course, and states that at the
time of writing General Funston was
still lying in the hospital recovering
from the operation for appendicitis.
The General was considered to be out
of danger at the time. But the talk
that they were coming home at once is
declared erroneous by the letter, al
though they had not heard the report.
Mr., Mitchell wrote that they would
not think of coming home before
spring as the change to severer cl-
mate would be almost certainly very
trying on Funston. Along in the
balmy days OF spring when they would
be assured of finding milder weather
both will probably return to this
country for while at least.

In this connection the report of the

cause it shows that the school attend
anoe is increasing and that in spite OF
the addition OF ney building last
summer all the rooms are pretty well
flled. Miss Mitchell's report shows
that there are 1878 pupils enrolled,
divided among the four buildings as
follows: South Jefferson building,
Gl4; South Walnut building, 423;
High School grades, ll6; High School
l55; North building, 465. The aver
age attendance in the lower rooms is
afty pupils to the grade and to each
teacher, which is too many for the
best work. The enrolment shows an
increase of l05 this month over last
and a total enrolment since the first
day of school of 240. 1t is already
planned to engage two additional
teachers to help relieve the over work
in some OF the lower grades.

.ROCKH|LL TALKS.
 ID Il HUNG CHANG
Small Probability of Further
 Hitch in Negotiations
ADJUSTMENTS AGREED ON
Tho Imperial Court is Anxious to Re- turn to Pekin as Soon the For eien Troops Evacuate
 the Capital.

Pekin, April 7.-Mr Rockhill, United States special commissioner to Pekin, had a long interview yesterday with u Hung Chang, who said there was small proba- bility of further hitches in the negotia- tions. China has agreed to the list of punishments submitted by the ministers of the powers, asking only one concession, namely, deprivation of office instead of banishment, in the case of a man who Is TO years of age. To this the ministers have agreed.
 Li Hung Chang says the court is ex- tremely anxious to return to Pekin as soon as the foreign troops evacuate the capital. Some of the ministers of the pow CTS begin to think that so large force as 2O00 troops, acting as legation guards in the city proper, would be great mis- | take Such body would have to remain in space of one square mile The troops could not be allowed outside the lega- ton quarter armed and it would probably not be safe for them to go unarmed.
 It is thought by some of the ministers that, if the encampment were made from twelve to fifteen miles away, with the necessary stores, this arrangement would |
 be much preferable, a telegram could l bring the troops in to the city immedi- ately.
 l Mreover, several ministers have been | insulted by troops of other nationalities. MT, Rockhill and MT. Ernest Maston Sa- tow >(the British minister) were returning | from dinner in sedan chairs and were | stopped by German soldiers, who proceed ed to beat the bearers. The ladies of the party were greatly frightened.
 The ministers generally fear that the presence in Pekin of a considerable force | of troops of various nationalities might | be a source of international friction.
 They are not entirely pleased with the military proposals of the generals and | they fail to see the necessity for the | demolition of all forts.

GREAT CROWDS AT ALL THE CHURCHES Attendance on Easter Services
 Was Unusually Large STANDING ROOM SCARCE The Weather Was Unusually Raw and This Kept Many Beautiful Easter
 Gowns of the Streets
 Some Street Scenes.

All the churches had beautiful Easter serivices yesterday and the attendance was unusually large. At the First Meth odist standing room was at a premium. The music here and at the Church of the Advent was unusually fine.
 Owing to the weather yesterday being somewhat raw and indictment compara- lively few Eastern gowns were seen. warm clothing being generally worn. Some who thought and hoped the weather would be mild wore spring cos tunes, and among the congregations in the various churches was a strange ming ling of winter wraps and summer dresses.
 The day promised to be as fair an Easter as was ever seen. Early in the morning the sun shown brightly and in dicated that the day would be warm and fair. By 10 o'clock howevet, the sun had gone under a cloud, and the day became raw and indictment Fortunately, the light wind of the past few days had died away but it was sombre day on the whole. Late in the afternoon the sun came out two or three hours as if to make amends for the dark morning.
 Salvation Army.
 The Salvation Army, to celebrate Eas- ter, appeared on the street with a large tin megaphone. This was used to talk through to summon a crowd and later on was used to receive the collection. The leader informed the audience that the little end was his end and the big end was theirs, and that he wanted them to fill 1t up. He then passed 1t around and the contributions of small coins were dropped in it, each coin as it rolled down the long tin cone sounding like silver dollar. The megaphone was not filled, however It would have taken all the small coins in town to fill 1t up
 The usual impromptu Sunday services were held by the colored prisoners at the county jail. The fact that it was Easter was probably unknown to most of them. At any rate nothing out of the ordinary was done by them to celebrate the occa- sion. There was singing off and on all through the day. just as there is every Sunday, but there was no collection taken up. A jail collection would not fill tin snuff box, much less a megaphone.
 Those who expected to spend Easter in the country, or by an excursion through the woods and on the mountains, were compelled to forego it, unless overcoats and wraps were worn. In spite of many warn days and many promises of spring. 1t has not actually arrived. Easter got here first this year. Another time spring may do better.

GENERAL CHAFFEE
 IS VERY. POPULAR
Reports from Pekin Are Grati- lying to Officials in
 Washington

Washington, April 7.-(specialD-The The news that comes from Pekin of the great popularity of Major General Chaffee among the foreigners there, of the en- that he had been elevated to a major general in the American regular army and of the satisfaction his promotion has given the private soldiers in the army who remember that he rose from the ranks is particularly gratifying to the President and the War Department. The President, Secretary of War and General Corbin have had the greatest confidence In General Chaffee. They have been en- tirely satisfied with his work in China the march to Pekin with small force being regarded as decidedly noteworthy and it was the urgency and determine tion of the United States that caused the relief of Pekin to be undertaken with a small force, when the other powers fear ed to undertake the task. The appoint ment of General NChaffee to command of the army in the Philippines, to date from July 1 next, was the strongest indication the President and his military advisers could give of their confidence in General Chaffee; and when 1t was determined up- on the situation in the Philippines was not as encouraging as it is now, though the authorities here then believed that the insurrection was practically ended and were preparing for the transfer of authority from the military to the civil officers.
