CHINESE ARE NOT SINCERE.
A Hitch in Negotiations Over the Abo-
Iition of the Likin.


SHANGHAI, Aug. 6.-The hitch in
the negotiations between Sir James
l., Mackay, the British tariff commits
siOner, and the Chinese commissioners
for the adoption of Sir James scheme
for Chinese tariff, which arose from
the fact that the Chinese objected to
the British regulation concerning in
land navigation, cOnyinces every one
outside Of the British commission of
the utter dishonesty of the Chinese in
their professions in favor Of the abo-
lition of the likin, or provincial tran
sit duty. The American commissioner
assured Lieun Kun vi that the United
States would never consent to the
abolition of the likin. because the bulk
of American imports go to Manchu-
ria and the northern provinces, where
there is no likin.

VIENNA, Aug. S.-After a special
investigation of the labc- trouble in
eastern Galica, the Neue Freie Presse
draws a gloomy picture of the miser-

The average mortality from famine
for several years past, according to
the Neue Freie Presse, aggregated
$4,000.
Laborers' wages range from s to 16
cents a day and women earn from 4
to 8 cents a day. The peasants rarely
taste bread and exist chiefly en- a soup,
the principal ingredients Of which are
water and herbs.

HOLD UP A TRAIN
MASKED MEN ROB BURLINGTON
EXPRESS AT MARCUS, ILL.
ONE OF THE NUMBER is KILLED
The Other Five Easily Escape After
RifIing the Contents of the Express
Car and Obtaining a Considerable
Sum of Money.

MOUNT CARROLL, H., Aug. IA
daring anu successful train robbery oc-
Cured at Marcus, on the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railway, five miles
north of Savannah, about midnight.
The fine v%cstibuled passenger train
Of eleven coaches, Conductor Emerson
in charge, was tagged at the little sta
ton and six masked men boarded the
engine. The engineer and fireman
obeyed the imperative orders of the
robbers and at once %uncoupled the en-
CINE AM express car from the train
and ran them a quarter of a mile up
the track.
They then blew up the express a
with dynamite, ran the engine north a
distance of a mile from Hanover and,
the locomotive becoming dead, the rob-
bers abandoned it and escaped.
One Of the highwaymen was killed,
being shot above the eye and also in
the leg. He met instant death while
On the engine and his body was dumped
to the ground by his companions as
they sped away. Express Messenger
Byl claims to have done the shooting.
The deed was done quickly, the
trainmen and passengers making no
defense. Six sacks of money were Sc
cured, but the amount is not known.
The passengers were not mOlested.
There was no way of telegraphing
news of the holdup, and a flagman
walked back and gave the alarm. A
special train of citizens and several
policemen at once proceeded to the
scene, but, as the track runs along
the Mississippi and the country is
we'll adapted to a successful flight, the
robbers easily escaped. The work was
evidently that of experts, a. they went
at it coolly and m~ethodically.
The train attacked is one of the fin
est in the world and usually carries
considerable money, which must have
been known by the robbers.
The dead highwayman was a
stranger in this vicinity. He was a
middle-aged man and well dressed.
In his pocket was found an Iowa
Central mileage credential from Grin
mel TO Gilman, Ia, issued in the name
Of A. l.. Jacobs.
Four explosions were required to
the destruction of the safe
and the car was badly wrecked. The
robbers were six in number, all mask
ed. They evidently were railroad men,
William Byl fired five shots at the rob-
bers, but without avail, and an attempt
was made to blow him UP in his car.
The bandits had arranged to ditch
the entire train had not the signal to
stop been needed. Several passengers
in the buffet car, including the porter,
were held prisoners during the strug-
gle to crack the safe.
1t is thought the dead robber was
by a comrade by mistake. The
body was put on the tender and run
by the others a short distance and
then thrown into the weeds.
Official announcement was made by
officials Of both the Burlington
'oad and the Adams Express company
hat a purse of $1,000 would be made
lp by the two companies and given to
Messenger Byl for his bravery.

M London, July Slater being sub.
iected to vigorous attacks from the
Liberal leaders, one OF the most i'm
portant sections of the governments
education bill was passed In the
house of commons by 23O votes to 189.
This small government majority was
greeted with prolonged cheers from
the opposition.
y Previous to the vote Sir William
Vernon Harcourt U.iberaD made Z
speech which was characterized by
all his old-time vigor. He declared
the present house did not reflect the
opinion of the country and that If the
government did not know this 1t
would soon learn it. The speaker
said Mr.. Balfour, the premier, demand.
ed unconditional surrender, but that
he would never get it, that the educa'
ton bill was the negation of popular
control and violation of every prin-
ciple of sound finance, whether i'm
;perial or royal. Sir William declared
the country did not love clericalism,
and that the new clericalism imposed
by the education bill was loved by the
country least of all. He said the Lib
erals would fight the issue to the Bit
ter end. :,

pasturage when young and tender,
but live stock will eat apparently
with relish, the matured plants in
the fields, when damp and soft,
sometimes even preferring them
to the green grass. When intended
for hay, thistles preferably should
not be grazed upon. Whether
grazed or cut hay, they will in
course of the season produce enor-
mously of seed, and their survival is
in no wise endangered by either.
Here is a rec ndation of the
Russian thistle as forage plant,
coupled with an assurance that i'm
plies the existence of fear on the
part of farmers who have been
making use of it wit profit, that the
thistle might possibly die out under
certain conditions. It is therefore
evident that the early fears concern
ing the Russian thistle were wild
imaginings based upon ignorance
as to the weed. Anything that
proves itself to be good for cattle
and sheep will not be made an
object of systematic attack for its
determination, and the Russian
thistle will Therefore stay until a
better weed arrives to take its place.

A pamphlet issued by the Kansas
state board of agricultural in regard
to the Russian thistle is in amusing
contrast with the great outcry
that was made a few years ago,
when it was first discovered that
that weed had taken root in this
country. It will be recalled than all
sorts of evil to the farmers were
predicted growing out of the pre-
empty capacity of this thistle, and
states were argued to take immedi-
ate steps looking to it's determination
wherever patches of the thistle
could be found. After his ::outburst
of alarm had subdsided it was
observed tn at the Russian thistle
had forage value for stock, especi-
ally for sheep. Now the Kansas

Politics have not yet assumed a
very exciting point but every few
days there is an announcement from
some corner of the county.
J.B. Gergen of Adrian..has decided
to enter the arena as a democratic
candidate for county attorney. It
does not make much di ference who
enters the race. Mr.. Crandall at the
present status has an easy chance
of being elected. In the Senatorial
ring J.F. Flynn of Ellsworth will be
the democratic candidate. John is
an excellent young man but the
republican majorioty is too large for
him to overcome besides the
people are we'll enough satisfied
with Mr.. Shell so that there is no
reason for any boiling the party.
Mr.. Shells prospects grow brighter
every day. Mr.. Grass has placed
his announcement in a few of the
papers of this county, with the
statement that Mobiles county has
had SO many senators. If his argu-
ment is of any value it is of more
value to Mr.. Shells interest because
if several counties acquiesced in CIV
ingNobles county at different times,
the plum now that the district is
only comprised of two counties, and
MI. Shell has only represented this
senatorial district one term he is by
we'll established precedence entitled
to two terms. Mr.. Grass is working
on the same line and if the argument
will hold good in Mr.. Grass's case
it certainly does in Mr.. Shells.
Mr.. Shell has served his constituents
faithfully in all cases and his record
in the legislature equals the best of
them in comparison with the
demands. Every measure he has
fathered has been placed upon the
statutes and if there is anything he
has not done for his district it is
simply because there has not been a
demand or necessity, and this has
not existed what could any man do.
He is better able to servehis district
at this time than any other man
without exception, because of his
experience and extensive acquain-
lance with the law makers and their
tactics. Mr.. Shell is man of un-
Improbable integrity and his
service in the legislature is
irreproachable and without a weak
point of attack. Mobiles county
should uphold her pride by being
represented by the highest Office
obtainable and return Mr.. Shell to
the Senate. 49,
