CHINA SLIDING BACK AGAIN
DOWager Empress Plan To Ter
rify RefOrmerS Has Been
Successful.

Pek;ng, August 2.-China is witness
ing a return to the condition, which
followed the coup d'etat of 1898. Poii-
tical discussions among the Chinese,
which increased during the imperial
c ,urt's recent policy of friendliness
ward foreigners, has suddenly stop
ped. The plan of the Dowager En-
press to terrify the reformers by the
execution of Shen Chien, which oc
CURED last Friday, has been success
ful. All the liberal Chinese, particu'
larly those who have been associated
with the reformers, are in the great
est fear of arrest, and it is difficult tc
lind a Chinaman who Is willing to
mention politics or Fridays tragedy
although the latter Is almost the only
tonic of conversation among trusted
friends.
The officials are particularly dumb.
The affair is disappointing to the
7 foreigners who had hoped that the
Empress Dowager's association with
the ladies of che Legations would have
a civilizing influence. Prince Su, the
most liberal of the Manchu princes
who in March last issued proclama
tion against incense burning to mil
tary idnls, b .cause it was the chief rite
during the Boxer" troubles, is re
ported to have risked his Office by
opposing the execution of Shen Chen

Good Attendance at Chemistry and
 Algebra Classes at Night School
 At night school last night the classes in algebra and chemistry were well attended and if the attendance keeps up the courses will undoubtedly be continued until spring. But the main fact for night school pupils to remem- Der is that whether or not the school runs until spring depends entirely upon the pupils themselves. If they show interest and are on hand promptly every session then there will be no doubt of night school being held.

 SIT. LOUIS, Dec. 4. - The October grand jury has returned two. indict- ments against James l.. Blair, former general counsel of the worlds fair, each charging forgery in the first degree Each indictment is based on the alleged forgery by Blair of deed of trust to secure loan from the estate of Peter Blow of St. Louis, of which he as a trustee had charge.

Naval Observatory Wishes to Send @
 Signal Around the World.
 The authorities of the United States Naval observatory at Washington are anxious to furnish to the civilized world signal of the exact moment of the beginning of the new year, says the New York Tribune. It is proposed to arrange with telegraph and cable com panies all over the world so as to trans init by series of signals at midnight on Dec. 31 the moment the new year begins. 1t is believed this information can be imparted to all points in North and South America, the distant colo nies and all around the world wherever necessary cooperation can be secured Last year this was done to limited extent, and it was found that the, re- ceipt of the midnight signals was accu- rately timed at the Lick observatory in California. and that the message only took six one-hundredths of second ill transmission. ....
 The head of the observatory says, Tt will be a New Years greeting from Washington to the civilized world sent out officially, but carried everywhere by public spirited cooperation of pri- vate companies, and is calculated to have powerful if only sentimental in- fiuence"

MisgivlnEs of a Woman Who DidnH

 Every railroad is said to have "con- science fund" contributed to by those who have been overtaken by remorse after. wronging the company in one of the many ways possible. However, it is doubtful if any company can show as tender conscience as that revealed to the Santa Ee railroad in the following letter recently dated at Everett, Wash, and addressed to the Santa Fe agent at Wichita, Kan:
 Last summer, while attending camp meeting, I heard some rousing sermons on the line of restitution, which caused me to see that had cheated the railroad company by carrying excess of baggage from Wichita, Kan, to Oswego, Kan, in October, 1901. I judge must have had nearly 220 pounds. .a.. ~ As knew the rules of the railroad com pany, I feel that did wrong, and write this to ask your forgiveness and to find out how much am owing you. Please let me know and l will gladly pay you what Is right.
 cannot afford to face anything like this at the Judgment day, and I know that all things that are not made right here wiu be revealed there. From one who desires to do what Is right.
