Shanghai, Aug. 31.-A revival of
boxerism is reported from Tamingfu
in the southwestern part of Pechili
province, 125 miles from Timentsin.
Over twenty American missionaries,
including women and children have
been obliged to evacuate Tamingfu,
owing to an intended massacre on the
part, of the boxers, who call them
selves Tsaiyun. The local telegraph

tunately, however, an English friend
in Honan forwards their message,
whereupon Yuan Shika, viceroy of

Grain Letter.
by McDearmott Com. Co..

Chicago, Sept, 1. 1904.-The
wheat market orened with a firm
undertone and shade higher than
last nights closing prices, influenced
by irmer cables from the other side
and bids for cash wheat for export
within l cent of the market which is
an advance from previous bids of
about three cents per bushel. The
market closes the day Z above last
uight. The news of the day rather
favored the bulls. There was a wide
spread rain through the northwestern
states and in parts of the Canadian
wheat belt, which will have a tenden-
cy to further delay the movement of
wheat and retard the ripening of the
late grain. The threshing advices
which continue to pour in generally
indicate disappointing yield. Much
wheat that is in the shock in Mime
soto and South Dakota is reported as
sprouting, as a resultof the continued
rams. Tne northwest received 242
cars of wheat today, as compared
with 1913 last year. Offerings in the
south west are gradually Stacking,
while the northwest movement is not
showing the anticipated increase, not
withstanding that no l wheat is bring
ing LIS at Minneapolis and 1.18 at
Duluth AS we stated in these advices
yesterday, the man who buys on the
breaks this year is making all the
money.
Corn-Displayed marked strength
throughout the session and closes to
night with a substantial advance-over
last nights close. 100000 bushels of
corn was sold here for direct export
and there is a large inquiry from
Europe for corn and oats. $4,000
bushels was sold to New England.
Telegram from northern Iowa report
that the continued wet weather is
causing rank growth of stalk with
tendency towards ripening the ear,

A Russo GERMAN ALLIANCE
The Two Greatest Military Powers OF
Europe to Combine.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 31.-Rumors
that Ressia and Germany are prepar-
ing to form an alliance, are persistant.
1t is pointed out that political changes
in France may at any time make the
Russo-French alliance valueless to
Russia. A letter just received from
a Swedish statesman at. Stockholm
says:
"Few things are more certain than
that the two great military powers of
Europe, Russia and Germany, are
heading toward z reciprocal arrange
ment, surprising in practical import
ance any political deal of recent
times.
at is a mistake to assume that the
anti-German comment in a section of
the Russian press represents any
thing substantial. Indeed, the cars
cabinet is so highly pleased with Ger
manyis treatment of Russia during
this war that it is disposed to aid that
friendly nation in Europe. Asia Minor
and China. The kaiser's readiness
to favor the car in the Far East
amounts to a passion. He wants
Russia deeply involved there to ease
the pressure on Germany's eastern
frontier and clear the way for Ger
man expansion in the far East"

Big Typewriter Sale.

The Underwood Typewriter Co.
recently closed deal with Marshall
Field & Co.'S wholesale house in
Chicago for 124 typewriters, in which
$4,000 were involved. In this deal
they displaced all other standard
makes of machines and it is believed
to be the largest typewriter deal ever
made with a mercantile institution in
the world. 1t was gotten after a
competitive test which clearly demon
strated that for all kinds of work that
could be done on a typewriter, the
Underwood out-pointed all others.
These competitive tests invariably
result in favor of the Underwood and
large sales are frequently made, but
as before stated, this $4,000 is the
largest yet, and it can be said for the
Underwood that these deals are made
without any concession in.. price.
The Underwood is a strictly high
grade machine and is the only type
writer made where visible writing is
as the word implies, that is, writing is
in sight from the first to the very last
character.
And it was demonstrated beyond
any question of a doubt that the
operator easily saves .25 percent of
time by using the Underwood. Aside
from that there is perfect tabulator,
which is part of the machine and a
separate attachment, and where is any
form of column work to be done, not
less than so percent of time can be
saved. This Underwood tabulator
costs nothing extra.
The machine accommodates paper
105 inches wide and writes 80 charac-
ters to the line. 1t is noted for its
permanency of alignment, long life,
manifolding qualities. stencil cutting,
soft touch, speed anu general ease of
manipulation.
There are considerably over 5000
in daily use in Kansas City AMI i'm
mediate surrounding towns, and there
is no question but that it is rapidly
coming to the front.
This Office recently put on one
after thorough test and we found it
easily the best, most modern and up
to date machine on the market.
They have branch Offices in all the
large cities of the world, that of Salina
being at 123 South Santa Fe and the
Kansas City Office z9 West 9th street.
They just recently fitted up what is
easily the finest typewriter Office in
Kansas City. Mr.. C. A. Hinchee
covers this territory regularly as
travelling salesman from the Salina
Office. A free trial is offered to any
prospective purchaser.
