work out a plan TO bring young women

Ten of the most prominent women in

tion OF establishing a woman's colony
in southwest Texas that Is to be an

that she likes men and desires one
man on every five acres Of her colonial
tion project.
She welcomes men to her colony, but
she gives no assurance hat they will
be permitted to have anything to do
with it's management. She wants fam
ilies-great families of healthy and
romping children, to play in the sun
shine and build up the educational in
terests OF the state.

CHINESE REVOLT
COVERS EMPIRE

Pekin, Feb. 6.-Central China is be-
coming a serious menace to the whole
empire. A junction between the rebels
of Human and Kwangtung threatens to
result in more formidable rebellion.
The rebels hold all the mountain fast
nesses on the borders of Human Kiangsi
n all attempts OF imperial troops to
dislodge them have failed.
The authorities at Shanghai are
adopting vigorous measures TO check
the import of arms and ammunition.
Agents of the revolutionists have sent
to the United States n to Europe to
purchase war material, and a collision
has been found to exist among the
agents, rebels n traders to import
arms under the guise of trade goods.
To date 10000 imperial troops with
cavalry and artillery have been sent
against the rebels, but have failed to
achieve anything.
Advices from foreigners who visited
the district say it is doubtful whether
the revolution can be suppressed should
all the troops at the disposition Of the
government be sent.
The leader of the revolutionists Is
Kung Chuntai. and placards issued by
him state hat the rebellion is aimed
at the overthrow of the Manchu
dynasty.
Signs of unrest are reported from
many places in China.

st. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 6.-The time haA

Miss Bathey is pretty and all she

DR.. Geo. Hill. who performed the
operation, says that. while 1t is a bit
painful TO get a dimple In ones cheek,
the whole matter Is simply and easily
performed. The cutting OF what Isl
known as the zygamaticus major
muscle. which has it's origin at the
point Of the cheekbone. produces the
desired effect.

SENATE committee
HEARS NEGRO SOLDIERS

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 5.-The In
Eestigation of The senate committee on
military affairs of the Brownsville,
Tex. ARRAY began yesterday. A score
of the negro soldiers of the Twenty
fifth infantry who were discharged
without honor We're present, but only
a limited number were permitted to sit
in the committee room during the pro-
ceedings.
Attorneys were barred, the negro
soldiers having no representatives. pres
ent.
1t is understood thai Senator For
aker. will look after the interests OF the
men If they are placed in jeopardy.
Senator Foraker called former Ser
geant Israel Harris to the stand. Re-
garding the happenings on August IL
n IA he said:
"On that night we had some dis
turbance-some shooting l mean. i was
asleep in ID barracks and at about IL
o'clock / was aroused by the noise of
guns. Then there was the sound to
arms and Company ID got dressed and
we started for our guns"
The witness told of getting h guns
In the lark after the racks had been
opened. He described the racks and
showed that there was but n key to
a rack and that that key would I'M
lock only one rack, and that the keys
were in the possession of noncommis-
sioned officers. The witness said when
the company formed outside Captain
LYONS, of Company ID, was present and
Immediately called the roll and person.
ally counted his men and found that
none was absent.
Calling for the guns furnished to
the committee by the war department
senator Foraker had one gun identi-
fed by the witness as a new model
Springfield rife and another as the
Krag-Jorgenson rifle. The former was
in use by Company ID, blu the witness
was familiar with the Krag-Jorgenson.
He testified that "a gun cannot be
cleaned to pass inspection without a
regulation rod, and that only four
such rods are provided for each COM
pany.
He said that one shot would put
the gun In condition to require almost
as much cleaning as six or more shots.
his inference being hat it would have
been impossible for any guns of Com
pany ID TO ave been used In the
shooting up" of Brownsville and to
have been cleaned surreptitiously so
as to pass inspection when the racks
were unlocked and the uns inspected
the next day.
Senator Warner developed the fact
hat trouble had previously occurred
between h negro troops and people
In Texas and that Harris, when he
heard the shooting, feared thai mem
bers OF his company might be in
volved. Harris stated that he had
talked with the soldiers who had
claimed to have bee insuited and
pushed off the sidewalks by Browns
vile citizens and he thought trouble
might ensue in consequence thereof.
Harris said it would have beer i'm
possible for the men to have cleaned
their guns between the time of the
shooting and roll call.
