AWAIT NEWS.
Washington Authorities Would Know
More About Chinese Piracy.

Washington, June 1.-THE authori-
ties await further news from Consul
General McWade regarding the kidnap-
ing of the unknown American by the
Chinese pirates.
Although the state department i'm
mediately cabled its approval of Con-
sui McWade's course and intimated
that details would be acceptable at
once no further news was obtained.
Nothing more can be done in the mat
ter until a reply has been received
from the Chinese emperor to Mr.. Nc
Wade's demand. If that reply is not
satisfactory there is apt to be trouble
The United States will not agree to
the payment of the ransom asked for.
The policy of this government has
been uniformly opposed to this course
as was evidenced in the case of Miss
Stone, the American missionary who
was captured by the Macedonian bri-
gands. The reason for this is that if
one such demand were acceded to
there would be any number of cases
OF kidnapping, the abductors thinking
that America would readily pay any
amount they might ask as a ransom
for American citizens.
Ready to Send More Warships.
II the American captive is not re-
turned shortly and the pirates severely
dealt with steps will be taken accord
ingly. The United States feet in Ash
attic waters includes several powerful
vessels, which are in close proximity
to the Chinese coast. To these must
be added the warship stationed among
the Philippine islands, which could be
hurried to any point on the Chinese
coast on short notice. No vessel ex-
cept the Callao, however, will be sent
to the scene of trouble until it becomes
evident that the Chinese government is
failing to do its duty and the Ameri-
cans life is in immediate danger.
| Piracy has been prevalent for sew
eral years on the West river. Heavily
| laden steamers have been seized and
| the cargoes confiscate1 by the pirates.
| The depredations for the most part
have been confined to Chinese mer-
chant vessels. Although in most seiz-
ures OF ships there has been blood
she'd the outlaws have refrained from
making captiyes of those whom they
| robbed. They have been satisfied with
| the plumber they secured In the case
| of the American now in the tolls OF
| the pirates it is believed he was made
prisoner because of lack of plumber
Of the ship attacked The pirates are
well informed about the Americans in

From Fridays Daily.
The twenty-ninth annual commence

school were held last evening at the
Grand Opera House when sixty-four
young men and women were given di-
plomas in testimony of their having
successfully completed the four years
course OF study required by that insti-
tuition. The house was packed with
the relatives and friends of the gradu-
ates who had come to witnesses the
ceremonies which marked the close
of the high school life of the large
class and those who were in attend
ance were entertained with an excel
lent musical program by the high
school organizations under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Frances Clark, with an
eloquent commencement address by
Dr. Dan F. Bradley, president OF Iowa
college, Grinnell.
The opera house was lavishly adorn-
ed in the class colors OF pink and
gray the decorations being designed
by the members of the middler class
who will next year be the seniors. The
three boxes on either side of the house
and the loges were trimmed appropri-
ately, while streamers of the colors
were stretched along the balcony and
gallery ratings relieved by clusters
of asparagus and smilax. The house
decoration, duty of the middlers, as
the result of an established precedent,
and the work is always a pleasure to
the members of that class who wish to
show one last mark of respect to the
retiring students.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Wreck at cl@ston Kills One Man and
Injuries Another

Wreck at cl@ston Kills One Man and
Injuries Another.
Creston, June 1.-THE accidental OPP
ening of switch in the yards yester-
day afternoon resulted in the death of
stranger and the serious injury Of
Will Maine.
AS a constr hction train was coming
up the track i'm the afternoon a man
by the name of Lawrence
Redleman jumped on the tool
car and rode up the yards to
within about BOD feet of the depot,
when, while attempting to jump off, he
struck switch and threw it open, and
let the tool car and caboose off the
track
When the man hit the switch it
threw him back under the train and
the cars passed over his head, and
broke one leg, killing him instantly.
Will Maine Injured.
When the cars left the track, Will
Maine, one of tho gang men. lost his
balance and fell az ross a rail and broke
two ribs just abog the breast. The
man was carried to the supply house
just west of the depot and physician
called and examin ed him. finding two
ribs broken Mr.. lIaine is new man
in town, having be en- here but short
time, and has been. staying in the Eu-
reka house.
1t appears that Che man Redleman
and partner had been drinking some
beer in the east end Of the yards and
the probabilities are that he was
more or less under. the influence of
liquor, as his partner was intoxicated
when he got up to where the wreck
took place The remains of Mr.. Redle-
man were taken to the undertaking
rooms of Chas. Emerson and will prob
ably be buried by the county, unless
it can be ascertained where his home
is. 1t was found out that he went by
the name of Indiana and the proba-
bilities are that his home is in some
place in Indiana.
The construction tsain had only two
cars run off the track, they being the
tool car and the caboose and after lit
tie backing the cars were again put on
the track and no further damage re.
suited from the wrecls.

greatest fads, when he served as as
sistant secretary of the navy, just be
fore the Spanish-Anlerican war, to en-
courage the efforts made by several de-
partment officials fer more target prac-
tioe and larger appropriations for am
munition. In reporting on this increas-
ed expenditure Admiral O'Neill said:
1T is quite evident that some tangi-
Bile result ought to be apparent from
SO large an expenditure for training
purposes, for even the richest nation
mrst count the cost of the mainte--
nance of it's naval establishment, and
the country has right to demand rea,
/ sonalIG returns in The shape of in
creased efficiency for it's outlay"
Men May Be Promoted.
The performance of Young Reidel
land Hill seems to be q most promising
sort CT reasonable return" and it is
highly probable that President Roose-
welt will mark his approval of their
liability by promoting them to higher
grades.
1t costs $2,500'to fire one shot from
lthirteen-inch gun, so that young Reidel
{ in the four shots he fred on the lndi-
ana cost the government $4,000. His
pay for the time employed in firing was
something like cents. 1t seems rea-
sonable that man who can spend that
$4,000 of the governments money to
/ good advantage should be put in a po-
sition where he can get higher reward
! than that paid to a man who would
simply waste the governments money.
I Young Reidel is now barely 81 years
of age. He was Just Is years old when
he enlisted in the navy, three years
ago.-Chicago Tribune.

AMERICANS A HEAD
CHICAGO FURNISHES EXAMPLE
OF PRoWEss OF SHOOTERS.
Ability OF "Man Behind the Cum
the work of Two Lads From the
WINDY City" in Target Practice on
Battle Ship.

"The man behind the gun" comes
from Chicago. His name is Richard w.
Reidel His record at gunnery is the
highest ever made in any navy in the
world.
He and his companion, Edwin j.
HILL for it takes two men to sight and
train a thirteen-inch gun, took eight
shots at target twenty-one feet long
and seventeen feet high, at distance
Iof 1900 feet from the battleship Indi-
ana, which was moving at the speed of
ten knots an hour and rolling with the
swell Of the ocean.
When the big thirteen-inch gun had
spoken eight times the Indiana steam
led up to the target to see the result
of the practice. 1t was satisfactory.
There were eight big, round holes in
the canvas target.
The crew of the Indiana swarmed in
Ito the rigging and danced on top of
the gun turrets, and, led by the Off
GERS, cheered again and again over the
best record ever made in naval gun
merry. Reidel and Hill were carried
around on the shoulders of their mess
mates and were the heroes of the hour.
When the Indiana put into dry dock at
the Brooklyn navy yard the other day
the officers turned every man jack of
the crew loose on shore to give ball
in honor OF the lads behind the guns
who were responsible for it.
First Chance With Big Guns.

when the Indiana was out for target
practice off Pensacola, Fla. Reidel

than a four-inch gun. They were
directed to report to Lieutenant J..
A. Bostwick, one of the most accu.

was in charge of the starboard after

For the first four shots Reidel train.

and Hill for elevation. The next foul

was rough and the Indiana was rolling
considerably while the shots were free
and steaming at the rate of ten knots
an hour. None of the shots were flukes
nor did any of them barely nip the
edge of the target. Each one made g

chamberlains Stomach and Liver
Tablets Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked in
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets superior to pills?
Our answer is-They are easier and
more pleasant to taken gentle and
mild in their action and more reliable,
as they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in a
natural condition, while pills are more
harsh in effect and their use is often
followed by constipation. For sale by
