Mark B. Dunnell, former United
States Deputy Consul General at
Shanghai, opens the February Forum
with an article on "The Settlement
With China" He gives an account
of the negotiations that followed the
Boxer outbreak, aud argues that in
many points the Western powers
have done those things which they
ought not to have done, and left un-
done those things which they ought
to have done. He believes that there
will be no solution Of the Chinese

-Keokuk Gate City: We suspect
that great deal of the talk about
redistricting is simply for the sake of
talk. Another factor possibly is the
inherent desire that is in some people
to keep some other people on the
ragged edge of doubt and suspense.
And then there are probably few
men who would like to have district
boundaries changed for the advance
ment of their own selfish interests.

The horrible catastrophe which
'befell the little town of Lost Greek
has cast a gloom over every mining
camp in this section. The explosion
is said to be the worst in the history
of the Iowa coal industry, and but
few accidents ofany kind in the state
have been fraught with such great
loss of life. The sympathy of the
community goes out in full measure
to.the aching hearts in the twenty
homes bereft of loved ones.

is favorable to the sheep industry OF
the state. We suggest, however, that

the nobility of some natures which con-

to him, and who is intent upon his
destruction. After while the princess
appears upon the scene and the villainous
Eugen, who has all along tried to prevent
the lovers from meeting, uses device
which is one of the strongest climaxes of
the play. Showing her the concealed
forms of several of his hired assassins,
he tells her that Jennico will be shot
from ambush if she recognizes, him.
Torn between anguish and fear and
love of her husband, which has never

his life. In the fight which follows she
thinks that he is killed, and consents to
accept the escort of Eugen to her home
Eugen, however, is pursued by Jennico,
who finally meets his rival and kills him,
wins back his wife and brings the story
to triumphant close.
