PICHMOND MEN HAD A PLEAS
ANT TIME WHILE IN
SOUTHLAND.
THEY SUBSCRIBED FOR STOCK
All Members of the Party Speak In
Glowing Terms Of Orient Rail
H. Way.

The party of Richmond business
men who went to Mexico on an in
pection tour Of the Kansas City, Mex
leo and Orient Railway, arrived home
yesterday morning after an absence
Of two weeks.
The trip was a success in every
way and the members of the party,
"Mexican Pilgrims," as they were
termed, were royalty treated while in
the South. Over 1920 miles we're
covered by rail, on various railroads
and short lines, and every opportuni-
ty was given to the passengers to en-
Joy the scenery of the country.
As an advertiing scheme the trip
given by the officials of the new road
in the southwest is about the best
idea that has yet been advanced.
Early in the month, a special train,
composed of the finest Pullman cars
and diners, with an observation
coach, left Kansas City. There were
about eighty business men, from sew
eral different states in the party.
Railroad presidents, merchants, manu-
facturers, bankers, attorneys and
newspaper men were guests of the
road, and all were given the best of
entertainment during their extensive
trip. The party visited the City of
Mexico where they were received by
the President of the Republic. The
trip then took them across the coun-
to the Pacific shore and from there
to Ell Paso, Texas. Several large
mining camps, owned by the railroad,
were also visited
The new railroad opens up thous-
ands of square miles Of cattle and
mining territory that have never be-
fore had the advantages afforded by
railroad facilities and already the
new road is doing large freight bus
mess.
The trip was a success for the pro-
motors of the road and large blocks
Of stock, as well as many bonds, were
subscribed by the business men. It
is understood that the Richmond
party is also financially interested in
the railroad, which is considered an
excellent property.
Those who went on the trip from
here were P. w. Smith, Geo. L..
Gates, Newton Jenkins, Howard
Campbell and L. M. Jones. Mr..
Campbell and Mr.. Jones came home
Friday on account of illness.

THERE HAS Been LITTLE RAIN

The weather for the past week in
Richmond and vicinity was like early
spring. Not a day was disagreeably
cold. Sunday there was snow fall
of about 4 of an inch with precipi-

which would relieve the excruciating
pains which had developed in his
stomach.
The X-Ray machine was again
used, but the teeth refused to be dis
covered. Mr.. Tiff was in a frenzy
suffering more terror than he did
when on the battle field of Gettys-
burg, with the bullets as thick as hail
stones. He asserted that he must
he cut open, as the teeth were getting
IN their terrible work.
Then news came that Mrs. Tiff had
returned home, and back to the hoel
he went, feeling that any changes he
might wish to make in his will would
have to be fixed up in hurry. At the
hotel, however, surprise was await
ing hom. Someone's sharp eye had
detected the set of teeth clinging to
the castor on a lounge in the room,
and the sight of them took away
all the pain and made the host of
the Arlington admit that after all,
he had been afraid those teeth had
been lost. @

epidemic" OF ROBBERIES
FOUR PLACES BURGLARIZED IN
CITY THIS MONTH.
Superintendent Bailey Thinks That
With One Exception It Was
Local Talent.

Throughout the winter there has
been an "epidemic" of burglaries IN
Richmond, and despite all efforts on
the part of the police, non Of the
culprits have yet been apprehended,
except in one case, Ed Wilson, who
robbed the Red Saloon. Il.
Since the first of the month there
have been four burglaries reported to
the police. One at the home of c.
L. Colby, 315 North Nineteenth street
one at the home of w. H. Ward, 20
North Twenty-frst street, one at the
Louck and Hill Shop and one Thurs
day night at the home Of John OAR
nell, 21S South Tenth street.
Superintendent Bailey last evening
stated that he was of the opinion
that nearly all Of these burglaries
were committed by home "talent. F"
However, he thinks that the men who
broke into the home of John Darnell
were professionals from Dayton.

Mr.. Pang Hong of Frankfort, Ind,
is visiting his former instructor, the

Pang Hong is the young Chinese
boy whom Rev. Kuhn was instrument
tai in releasing from the hands Of the
u. S. Inspector Of Chinese at. Portal,
N. ID. last November. Pang Hong re-
turned to China last summer to visit
his parents, but before going he pro-
vided himself with the necessary gov
eminent certificate Of admittance for
his return to this country, but this
was not honored at Portal when he
arrived there. He was held there for
some time and finally ordered to re-
turn to China. It was at this point
that he asked the Rev. Mr.. Kuhn to
intercede for him, which he did, max
ing trip to Washington in behalf Of
his former pupil.
After an interview with President
Roosevelt the latter ordered PanS
Hong to be admitted. This was Ire
second time that the president had
interceded in behalf, of the Chinese,
and this was the event which aroused
Secretary Metcalf's anger, he declar-
ing that he would leave the govern
ment service if President Roosevelt
interfered with Chinese affairs again,

A WONDERFUL
DISCOVERY.
An Interesting History Of One
Of the Most Popular
Household Remedies.
USED IN THE EARLY AGES.

From the dim dawn of antiquity, the
peoples of the earth have utilized the
twigs and leaves of the ca,nphor tree as
potent factor in relieving and healing
the many ills which the human flesh is
heir to- : In the early stages of ciyiliza
ton the heathens used camphor in a
crude form, and through centuries that
have passed it has come down 10 succeed
ing ages, priceless heritage. The
natives of the far east anointed their
bodies with this product as one Of the
first and most simple remedies. From
time to time camphor has been combined
with other chemical compounds and used
for the treatment of both external aud
internal ailments, though its chief virtue
Is as an external preparation.

SAYS LEOPOLD TRIED BRIBERY
Briton Declares King Attempted to
Silence Congo Missionaries.

Washington. Dec. 10 Bribery is
being attempted by King Leopold of
Belgium to silence the missionaries
in the Congo Free State and prevent
further denunciation of the atroci-
ties which are being perpetrated up
on the natives. according to the
charge made by DR.. II. Grafton GUM
ness, an Englishnan. head of the
Congo Baiolo Mission, now in Wash
ington lecturlng to awaken public
indignation.
"Last summer Sir Alfred Jones,
the Congo consul general to Great
Britain, called on me in London,
said DR.. Guinness. "Sir Alfred. who
was accompanied by Sir Ralph
Moore. a former governor of Nlge-
ria in the Congo, stated to me that
King Leopold had authorized him TO
offer me a directorate free of charge
and a position that would bring me
a large income in company he
wanted to form to conduct a rubber
business in the Congo. Sir Alfred ex.
planned that tn king wanted a
British company to do some of the
rubber operating. and for this pur-
pose he offered to give a 10000
square mile tract in the Congo re-
gion known as the Ibia."
DR.. Guinness says he was as
founded by the offer, and that he in
dignantly declined it as an attempt
to gag him and his 112 missionaries
in the Congo by making them par
ties to the atrocities committed upon
the natives.
DR.. Guinness also asserts that
agents OF King Leopold attempted ia
poison Baccari, the Italian who had
knowledge of the deplorable state OF
affairs in the Congo. He charges that
torture of the natives continues and
that they are being i'll treated and
murdered upon the same appalling
scale today as months ago, before
the disclosures were made.
