KILLIE'S PICTURES ARE RARE
Tell Wonderful story of the Boxer
Revolt in China and Its
Outcome.

Rev Charles A. Killie OF Pao Ting Flu,
province of Chi Ii, Northern China, a mis-
sionary OF the Presbyterian church in
charge of a district comprising a population
of nearly 100000 delivered an illustrated
lecture at Westminster Presbyterian church
Friday evening.
Dr. Killie was in China during the Boxer
outbreak and was at Picking during the at
tack on the legations and missionaries by
the Chinese. His pictures, taken at the
time Of the Siege, are full OF, thrilling inter-
est and OF historic value. great many of
them cannot be duplicated and form a
Photographic story OF one OF the most
thrilling, pathetic, dramatic and romantic
episodes OF history.
The pictures showed the fortihcations I'M
dertaken by the beleagured legations and
missionaries in Picking and the gallant de-
Tense made by them and the final rescue by
the international armies. other pictures
told of the destruction Of missions and the
murder Of missionaries and the awful priva-
tions and prosecutions the missionaries were
subjected to at the hands of the Boxers
There were pictures, too, OF the restored
missions, of the new cemeteries in which
the bodies OF the murdered Christians had
been assembled for decent sepulture the
lowly homes OF the native Christians all
through the province, groups of native
Christians and Of American Christian work.
ers who were still devoting their lives to
the great work of evangelizing China
Following the exhibition OF the pictures
with the aid OF stereopticon, DR.. Killie
showed and described number OF Chinese
curios, idols and weapons and ammunition,
inclusive OF a bullet that lodged in his Dill
low. fired at him by Boxer during the at
tack on the legations at Picking.
The lecture was very brief, most OF the
time being taken up in describing the pic
lures. He said: Il have simply sought TO
interest you in the Importance Of mission
work and the need that we have Of your
help. The field is ripe one. The Chinese
are more willing within the past three
years to accept the gospel of Christ than
ever before. 1t behooves US to seek to
Christianize them, else we will be con-
fronted, indeed, with the yellow peril"

In one capacity and another since its ad-

Southern Pacific in California and laid
down the reins OF active business. He en-
ters upon the pension list OF the Hartman
system for the remainder OF his days Mr.
Goodman is one of the oldest and best
known passenger officials in the United
States. His name and that OF the Southern

though he has been less aggressive of
late years, only because of his advancing
age railroad affairs and men on the Pa
cihc coast will require time to adjust them
selves to conditions without this veteran
mingling among them.
Just who Mr.. Goodman's successor will
be is not known at Union Pacific head

resignation was given out. 1t will not, It
is said, be a Union Pacific man.

ORCHARD & WILHELM MOVE
Furniture Company Employs Most of
Big Vans Getting Into New
HOagIRnd Quarters.

Furniture vans were hard to get in

best of them were busy moving the i'm
mense stock of the Orchard q Wilhelm

old location in the Continental brock on
Douglas street between Fourteenth and
Fifteenth to the new Hoagland building at
Sixteenth and Howard streets. The task OF
transporting a stock of highly breakable
furniture across the retail business district
began Thursday night when the firm did
the last days business at the old stand.
The vans toiled until II o'clock. when work
was knocked of until Friday morning. BY
night It was expected all the goods would
be in the new store.
Nearly a score OF vans was needed and
force OF lbs men and boys, including the
ninety regular employees, had their hands
full all OF the time. The Orchard & VII
helm stock is worth several hundred thou
said dollars, and to move IT in day and
half meant quick action. The procession
Of loaded and empty vans travelling back
and forth between the old and new loca-
lions almost had the appearance OF =
parade.
The firm will be open for business in the
new stand Monday morning at o'clock
Saturday and Sunday will be given over to
getting the new place in shape TO receive
customers and arranging lot OF new, as
well as the present stock. Besides an en-

NARROW CALL FOR ONE MAN
Occupant of buggy Barely Escapes
Serious Accident in Collision
with street Car.

Some mamie didn't stop to give his
name-came very near not reaching his
nome last evening in good physical con-
dition as he left earlier in the day. He was
driving one horse buggy and his convey
ance was struck by North Twenty-fourth
street car about $40 p. m. at the inter
section OF Sixteenth and Webster streets
with SUFFICIENT force to push the buggy
nearly over. The wheels, which were
rubber tired, scraped sidewise on the street
until the tire of one slipped off and down
on the hub.
Blissfully ignorant OF the disarmament
OF his tire and, apparently OF the narrow
escape he had undergone. the man con-
tinued west on Webster. The curtains of
his buggy were drawn tight SO he could
not be seen.
Passengers in the car held their breath
when they perceived the rig approaching
the crossing. II looked as II certainly a
disastrous accident would ensue and IL
would, but for the timely skill OF the motor
man in instantly reducing the speed Of
his car until. when 1t struck the buggy Il
was going very slowly. The motorman's
work was almost miraculous, as he had
but few seconds in which to get his car
down from a good rate OF speed

from the street was not locked, which is
always the case in the daytime, when the
inside wooden door stands open to let air
