As we have said, we have no doubt
that every member OF the Legisla
ture goes there with the full inten-
tion OF doing the square thing, but
many of them have no idea of the
smooth ways, the persuasive m'n-
ners, which oharactsrizs our mia
sionary bribe givers and their tools.
Before an unsophisticateG legislator
realizes what is going on, he finds
himself walking along the street

should have had it with pleasure
long ago, but the matter had slip
ped the senatorial mind (until the
day after eleotion). The happy
Maui man calls at Lawyer Blanks
office. Whether the lawyer is q
superintendent Of a Sunday school
or a half-Chinese makes no differ
ence; it is all ths same, as far as thu
Maui legislator is concerned. The
lawyer has good talk with his dear
friend from Maui, and, naturally,
they talk politics, and as the bill re-.
lating to tax on sugar is now be-
fore the House, it is only natural
that such a msasura forms the sub.
ject Of their conversation. The law
yer hardly approves Of the bill, and

OF course, If be woull work against

CHILD MURDER
Body Of a Six Months Old Babe
Found by Boys.

A child murder was brought to light
Friday afternoon about half past four
O'Clock by the finding of a fetus
aged probably six months, in the
ravine or gully between First and Sec
ond streets and Immediately north of
O avenue.
Rockford Carlin, son of Tom Carlin,
and Roy Hixson son of Am. Hixson,
were playing in the vicinity of the
ditch, and in boyish manner were
running here and there and covering
considerable ground in their efforts
to see what was in the neighborhood.
The attention of the Uarlin boy was
attracted by bundle that had been
caught upon barbed wire and upon
investigation the boys found that
wrapped in a blood stained diaper
was the body of a small boy. The
sight of the tiny features frightened
the little fellows and they lost no time
in getting home and informing their
parents of what had been found.
Mr.. Carlin went to Mayor Wray and
they in turn informed Coroner Eugene
Cheesman of the find. Proceeding
to the place the dead childawas found
as left by the lads. The infant had
been wrapped in couple of diapers
and then in copy of Chicago
paper. The paper had become un-
wrapped and had blown off at one
side and one of the blood stained
cloths was also lying off at the side.
The baby had been thrown in the
ditch by some person passing along
on O avenue and it had lodged upon
the barbed wire scarcely twenty feet
from the street. 1t could be plainly
seen from the side walk by any pass
ing pedestrian.
Coroner Eugene Cheesman took
charge of the little corpse and re-
moved 1t. UponEmore careful exam
ination it was found that the forehead
had been perforated by some kind of
pointed instrument.
The place where the child was
thrown is deep ravine that carries
a great part of the sewage of the north
part of the city. There is, however,
an unobstructed view of the place
from the sidewalk and it was very
poor place to choose for the conceal
ing of such a crime.
1t is the opinion of the coroner that
the baby had not been dead a great
while as decomposition was but little
advanced. The child had been thrown
into the ditch possibly the night be-
fore and certainly not longer than
Wednesday night. The clothes picked
up with the child would indicate that
they had been in use in a family of
moderate means.

nrday, accompanied by the young
man. Otto is a student at the State
Agricultural college, and in company
with several other students rode out
to the campus on Northwestern
train. The train does not stop where
they wished to get off, so the boys
jumped. Otto alighted on the tracks
and his foot caught in puzzle switch
which threw him heavily to the

wounds, and while they are painful,
are not serious.

as reward of merit for the great in

THE HANNA FACTORY.
Will the People of OskaIOOsa Turn
Down the Proposition.

Elsewhere today is published an
article from the pen. of Father n'Car-
roll which sets forth the factory pro-
position in the light of one interested
in the welfare of Oskaloosa.
There is no suitable building in
town for the factory, and as their
present building is sold, they must
erect a new one or get out of town.
The help they ask is small compared
with the benefits the town will derive
from the retention of the factory.
Our city cannot afford to let this
institution go.

Admiral sampson,s rlunasr.

Admiral Sampson seems to have made
a grave blunder-o certainly he has
stirred up a big fuss-by his letter to
Secretary Of the Navy Long with re.
Fpect to Gunner Inorganic request that
he aid him in being promoted to the
rank of ensign under the provisions OF
the pending Navy preparation bill.
Admiral Sampson made to Secretary
Long the surprising statement that
while he recognized Gunner Morgan's
technical and professional ability he
was opposed to appointing warrant
officers to the grade of ensign because
they had not enjoyed the social ad-
yantages which he tSamrson) held a
commissioned officer of the navy should
have enjoyed in order that he might
represent his country properly, in
foreign countries particularly.
The logic Of Admiral Samrson's state
ment IS weak 1t will be admitted that
the question he raises does not affect
appointments to the naval academy,
and that the academy cadets are the
body Of young men from whom, in
time, are selected the commissioned
officers of the navy. Outlines personal
favoritism or political expedienoy will
dictate these cadet appointments, nc
matter what may bs the "social ad
vantages" of the appointees.
1t is fact that many men who hare
been provided with social advantages
to the fullest extent, and whose bloot
is OF the "bluest," are not gentlemen
by any means. And that some of tn,
brightest aud brainiest men, as we'll a
thorough gentlemen, are to be found il
the ranks Of machinists, engineers. ant
other like professions.

TEN THOUSAND SAW THEM DIE
Public Beheading of Two Chs
nese High Culprits in Pekin.
THEY MET THEIR FATE STOICALLY
Members of theLegatlons Were
Not Present.
The Execution Was Success, In Each
Case One Blow severing tho Head From
the Body = Ministers WIN Make No
Further Demand for Blood.


Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Pekin, China. Feb. 27.-a crowd of fully
10000 persons witness cd the execution Of
Chin Stu and Hsu Cheng Yu, who were be-
headed here yesterday, In accordance with
this demands of the Powers. The members of
the various legations were conspicuously
absent, feeling that II they were present
they might seem to be gloating over their
fallen ndyersaries. Every power, howeytr,
was largely represented by military officials
and soldiers, and there was also present q
staff from each of the foreign powers.
Besides these, many missionaries witnessed
the executions.
The condemned men met death stoically.
In each case one blow severed the head from
the body.
At the time Of the execution was being
carried out the ministers held meeting
and determined on the part OF the majority
to draw curtain over further demands for
blood. United States Commissioners Rock
hill sided strongly with those favurinR
humane methods, who are Sir Ernest Satow
and NJ. Komura, Colugan and De Giers,
sIGSsh ana
China has not been sufficiently punished
and that men should be executed In evnry
city, town and village where foreigners were
injured. 1t Is safe to say, however, that
little more bloodshed will be demanded.
Another important point that was brou ght
up at the meeting was that OF the legation
quarters. Mr.. Rockhill impressed the
ministers by his remarks regarding the pro-
test Of Sir Robert Hart chief of the Chinese
imperial maritime customs, against the
seizure of his property to increase the area
of the legations, saying that the services
rendered the Powers by the financial repre-
sentative of China should have prevented
the indignities and spoliation inflicted.
The feeling Is general that Italy should
recede from her position and return rhe
property she has taken, and that If neces-
sury for her TO increase her legation, she
should take land elsewhere.
DIR. Mumm Won Schwartzens stein, the
German minister, and the Marquis Salbago
Raggi, the Italian representative. expressed
high appreciation of Sir Rotsrt Hart and
regretted that matters of state mads neces-
sary the taking Of lands of the customs
officials.
Sir Ernest Satow and Mr.. Rockhill
thought an exception should certainly be
made of Sir Robert Hart's personal property,
and that the limits OF tho legation should be
defined the same as published.
Reports from the Shen 81 province show
