Up the Great Yangtszi.
On Monday night, May 16, we start
from Shaghai for Han-Kan, a large
city some $50 miles up the great
Yangtszi-Kiang, one of the largest OF
rivers. We have none like it in the
States, as it is navigable to large
ocean steamers up as far as Han-Kan
and for a much greater distance be-
yond Han-Kan to steamboats,. Our
ship is the "Sui-Tai," twin screw, ne.
longing to the Hamburg-American
line, Capt. Wallis in command. There
was accommodations only for about
ten white passengers, and Mrs. K
finding herself the only white woman
aboard, felt lonely and for the first
time began to feel homesick, and
did not blame her, for here we were,
going into a strange country, not
knowing just what was ahead Of us
We had been told that we would find
it frightfully hot, that the mosqui
toes and other vermin would poster
the life out of us, &C. We were gone
ten days and shall ever think of the
trip as a great success. The number
of large Chinese cities visited, the
ever-changing shore line, the hun
dreds of queerly built and rugged riv
er craft met with and passed, the
crude straw and bamboo huts of the
farmers, the many men and women al
work in the fields gathering the ma
turing crops of wheat and other grain
by hand, the patient buffalo being
driven single to the pillow, the hun
dreds Of Chinese passengers getting
on and off the ship,-sometimes done
from a long barge hurried out along
side and lashed fast for a few min
utes, the ship slowing up for the pur
pose,-the hard and patient work O.
the coolies in loading and unloading
cargo, all done on mems shoulders

en- route, their dirty and close streets

place, the many fishing boats ant

this and the cool, spring-like weatheI
tended to make us enjoy the trip. Oul

leave. After hasty talk among the
twenty-five or thirty on the launch
we concluded to go aboard the good,
clean ship which seemed so like home
to many of us, and take our chances.
That afternoon we were taken to a
place some thirty miles away and the
crew and Chinese passengers, their
trunks, boxes, clothing and that part
of the ship from which they came,
we're thoroughly cleansed and disin-
fected. They and their belongings

Conditions in Philippines.
Before getting to Manila, during our
stay there and during the trip to
Hong Kong we met and conyersed
with many army men, teachers going
back to the States or taking a vaca-
ton trip to Shanghai and Japan, civil
service people, Americans living on
the islands, some of them there for
several years. From these we tried
to get correct idea of conditions on
the islands, both present and pros,
pective. What was told us was very
confusing; some said that there had
never been order, that there never
would be tranquility, that all that hac
been done was failure, &c. just
the reverse of all this was told and
in each case much detail was given
to prove their contentious. The
teachers generally speak of the ma
tives as eager to learn, of kindly dis
position, and while those we talked
with had been at work in remote
places, -sometimes miles from an
American they felt no fear, were
pleased with the results of their work
and in most cases were coming back
On the whole, judging from what
have seen and heard, think that the
American occupation will pan out al
right in the end, that we are making
substantial progress to quiet and in
still confidence among the people;
that all or nearly all the outbreaks
of late were not political, but that Of
plundering bands and those who by
reason of crime dared not come out
into the open. There are remote
places where no authority has ever
been exercised over the wild people
either before or since the American
presence; but that part of the islands

prosperity and improvement. an

The City of Hong KONG.


We reached Hong Kong May Sth in
the evening. AS we approached the
city, with its harbor filled with ship
ping from all parts of the world, in
Guiding hundreds of Chinese junks
and small craft, house boats, &C, these
all showing lights, with the city in
the background,-its hills illuminated
with many electric lights, altogether
the scene was such as will ever be
fastened in our memory. The
night was extremely hot and 1t was
late next morning before we were ex-
amined and passed by the health or
ficials and allowed to go ashore.
Hong Kong is a surprisingly beauti-
fully located city, we'll built, solid and
large structures we'll up and thick
against its steep hillsides, the top OF
which were often obscured by low
lying clouds during our stay there.
On it's streets are to be seen people
of every nation, of all shades of color,
of strange and varied dress, and in
the harbor you could see the flags Of

distance and it's sailors we're much in
evidence on the streets. All street

ems shoulders, and it is surprising
what great loads are so carried. You

we visited Canton, some 90 miles
away. Took small steamboat early
in the evening and next morning was
in the river fronting Canton.
Touring Narrow Streets.
After breakfast we hired a Chinese
guide who spoke fairly good English.
Our party consisted of .Wightman,
Mrs. Kalbacn, myself, guide and six
teen chair-bearers. At o'clock we
started and soon were into the city
proper, carried along at lively pace,
the bearers uttering a peculiar cry to
warn the people to give way as we
were coming. The streets were very
narrow,-none over ten feet wide
and when we met chairs coming from
an opposite direction the people had
to edge up against the fronts and in
the doorways to let us pass. All this
was done in a good-natured way, the
people looking with an amused ex-
preston at Mrs. Kalbach, who spoke
word to the women carrying ba-
bies and who seemed to like the mo-
tice taken of them. At tho shops
where we stopped great and inter
ested crowds soon gathered. but read

UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE.
Matthias William Nash Brought From
Sheridan, Wyoming, by Sheriff.

"ySfftSs W S'S'''s
Sheriff l.. p. Slater returned to
Lewistown yesterday afternoon on
the Great Falls coach, having in his
charge Matthias William Nash, who
is charged with a statutory offense,
the punishment for which is impris.
onment in the penitentiary for not
less than five years. Jane Caroline
Stoutenberg, of Philbrook, a member
of a we'll known family of this coun.
ty, is the prosecutrix and in her AFT
davit alleges that the crime was first
committed on the Walling ranch near
Philbrook in August, 1901, when the
plaintiff was but IA years of age. The
offense was repeated dt different
times until the 4th of June, 1903. A
child was born to the prosecutrix De
cember 10, 1901, and Is still living.
Nash, who, 1t is alleged, committed
the crime, formerly worked on the
Walling ranch, but went to Sheridan
Wyoming, last summer. He was al
rested by the officers of that city up
on a warrant telegraphed from Hell
ena by Sheriff Slater on Friday
March 4th. Sheriff Slater was in Hell
ena a week trying to get some requi
sition papers, but before he had Sc
cured the papers the officers in Sher
idan telegraphed that Nash was will
ing to come to Lewistown without
requisition papers. The Fergus coun
ty officer got there last Friday and
left Saturday with his prisoner fol
Lewistown.
Nash is about "a years of age, and
other than that he is being prescott
ed for a crime committed by someone
else, has little to say concerning the
serious charge preferred against him

Or. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic.

There is not a woman In this land
but at some time In ner life would
have been the better Tor the use Of
this Tonic. For diseases peculiar to
women a better medicine was never
made. It is composed of the ingred-
tents from which the system has been
deprived by disease, over work or dis
sipation. It enters at once into the
circulation, building up the tissues
that have wasted, and making pure
rich blood in the most direct way. For
weak, nervous and unsteady people,
pimply, pale or fleshless people, 1t will
make strong, steady nerves and give
the complexion that wholesome look
that indicates health. We have hun
dreds of letters that people have writ
ten us, saying they had gained In

to three lbs. per week, while using
DR.. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic.
It should be taken after meals, one
