The stomach is to the body what

Missionaries Brutality Murdered.

DR.. Machie, who escaped the ter
rible fate of the other American
missionaries who were so savagely mas
sacred at Lien Chow, China, has ar
rived at Hongkong, where he gave
the details of the horrible affair. He
stated that at the beginning OF the
outbreak against the missionaries the
riotirg Chinese seized Miss Chestnut
and Mrs. Machie and exposed them
to public view III the Chinese temple.
Amy Machie, age 10, was thrown in
to the river, where she drowned.
Miss Chestnut had all Of her clothing
torn from her body. She was then
thrown into the river. While Miss
Chestnut and Amy Machie were
struggling in the water they were
speared to death with tridents, which
were thrust into their heads with
great force by the crazed Chinese.
Mrs. Machie appealed to the rioters
to spare the lives Of the missionaries.
The Chinese stripped her naked and
knocked her down. While she lay
PROSTATE they stoned her to death,
breaking her skull and bespattering
the ground with her brains. After
they had reduced the body to
shnpeless mass it was thrown into the
river. After the terrible death of
these three victims, the mob seized
Mr.. and Mrs. Peae. They were
stripped naked. Mrs. Peale was
forced to see her husband dubbed to
death. Then the rioters turned on
her and beat her body with clubs un--
Til there was no semblauce of a hu-
man form.

WEST VIRGINIA ITEMS.

George Brinkman, mayor OF Graf
ton, died in a Wheeling hospital last
week.
Both the Grand Lodge of Masons
and the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
of West Virginia are in session at
Charleston this week.
Miss Jane Oates, aged eighteen
wears, was accidentally shot and fatal
ly INJURED at Millesons Mills, near
Cumberland, by the ffteen-year-old
son of John W. Long. The boy was
cleaning double barrel shot gun,
which he thought was empty. when
the load entered the left side of tie
girls abdomen.
John Hook, a well-known guide Of
Capon Bridge, Hampshire county, has
lost the sight of one eye entirely and
may lose the other as the result of be-
ing accidentally shot by Wheeling
man who was in a party Of hunters.
The hunter aimed at a covey of par
tridges which flew up in front of Hook.
The shot struck him in the face and
shoulder, and one of his eyes was put
out.
A cheer for Jeff Davis, uttered by
a drunken man near Naugatuck last
week, resulted in tragedy in which
three men were killed and three 9th
ers wounded. There had been much
drinking after the election on Tues
day. When Con Estep, an old Con-
federate soldier. yelled "Hurrah for
Jeff Davis" G. Pratter told Estep to
"shut up or he would kill him.
Enooh Bentlv told Estep to "hurrah
for any one he pleased" Pratter
turned upon Bentley and emptied
his pistol at short range, all FIVE shots
taking effect. After he had fallen,
Bentley shot and killed Pratter.
Rnbe Morgan, who had shot Bentley,
fired at Tom and John Bowling, and
then fed, but he was shot and NOR
tally wounded by the Bowlings.
Bentley and Morgan died later.
al killed Cooney Conley. My
father had nothing to do with it.
Here 1 am. Try me" Sidney Wood,
Jr., stepped before the court at Mar
lington, this State, on Monday, and
made this remark. His father, Sid
ney Wood, had just been sentenced to
life Imprisonment for the murder Of
Conley, two weeks ago. The old man
had protested his innocence. As they
were about to lead him away, his stall
wart backwoods son made his sensa-
tional statement. The court was
dumfounded. The Judge asked young
Wood why he had not declared him
self at the trial of his father, or be-
fore. He answered he thought his
father would not be convicted. The
boy said he waited for Conley in the
woods, and shot him to pieces. Young
Wood was held by the court, pend
ing further investigation. The faith
er has not been taken to the peniten-
tiary. A feud existed between the
two families.

INa speech the other day our ven

Ina speech the other day our ven-
cradle fellow-citizen, Hon. Henry G.
Davis, expressed himself as against
government regulation of railroad
rates, and said:
The ownership of railroads by the
government would be detrimental to
the interests of the whole people. 1t
would strife competition and retard
the development of the country,
which is so dependent upon the &C.
:ivity offrivate capital. Itwould also
create a great political machine OF
over million workers to be used by
the party in power.
1t was only couple of weeks ago
that Mr.. Davis himself publicly de-
plored the fact that a single corpora
ton controlled every railroad in West
Virginia save one. Could govern
ment regulation or government owner
ship stiAe competition more sffectual-
ly than the Pennsylvania Railroad
has stifed it in West Virginia? AS
matter of fact, is there x the present
time any real competition among the
railroads of this State, or among those
of the entire East?
And as for political machine, Is
it not fact that the railroad officials
and the officials of every other great
corporation do all in their power to
coerce their employees in every cam
paign? Could any government off
Ger use a worse lash or do more to
bully voters than was done by the
corporations when Mr.. Bryan was
candidate ?
Our friend Mr.. DAVIS is Oh the
wrong side of the question, taking the
expression OF the people last Tuesday

THE promise of the Gar of Russia
to grant the people constitution and
to give them real freedom and liberty
seems not to be sufficient to quell the
agitation in that unhappy empire.
Agitato1s and revolutiCnists continue
to stir up strife and inAame the peo-
pie, and there is rioting and warfare
from one extreme of the Cars vast
domain to the other. At Odessa last
week many persons were killed and
much property destroyed, and now
Vladivostok is in an upheaval. The
Russian workmen demand an eight
hour day, and with other agitators
are rioting and burning. Many build
ings in the city have been destroyed
and a number Of persons have been
killed. A state of war has been de-
clared.
Poor Russia and poor Gar The
years of oppression and injustice and
merciless cruelty seem to be at last
bearing fruit, and the harvest is a
dreadful one.

THERE was something Of a furry
month or two ago about the way the
State officials were going to get after
the paper mills, tannenes and other
sources of contamination Of West Vir-
gina streams.
The furry seems to be over, and
these companies are still pouring their
vile refuse into the rivers and creeks
Isn't it a shame that any one should
be permitted to deliberately poison
the waters of our State? The law
plainly says that it shall not be done,
but the proper authorities are afraid
to enforce the law, evidently, for the
pollution continues. Let the news
paper continue agitation Of this sub
ject until the trouble is remedied.
IT is becoming more and more evi-
dent that the people are with Presi-
dent Roosevelt in his fight for govern
ment regulation of railroad rates, and
those Senators who have been blocking
legislation looking to this end will
simply sign their political death war
rants if they continue their fealty to
the railroads and disregard public
sentiment. The result of the elections
last week shows Enthusiastically what
the people think on this subject, and
legislators will do well to heed the
lesson.
Another straw showing the way the
wind blows is the action IF the Amer,
lean Hardware Manufacturers Asso-
citation. By an almost unanimous vote
the members adopted resolution en-
dorsing the Presidents stand on this
matter.
