all that is worst in Chinese official

his indifference to the affairs of state.
His wealth is enormous, yet no gen

ELSIE SIGEL WAS
STRANGLED TO DEATH.
That Was Fate of Young Girl Who
Sought to Teach the Gospel
to Chinks.

New York, n. Y.-Elsie Sigel, the
young missionary to the Chinese of
this city, was strangled to death by
Leon Ling, according to the verdict
of the coroner's jury, just rendered.
With the police of the world hunt
ing for Ling since the girl was muir
dered on June 10, the formal an
nouncement of the cause of her death
has been delayed by the chemists
examination of the body. Their re-
port that the stomach contained a
quantity of egro did not alter the
jurys verdict.
The coroner has discharged Chong
Sing, the witness who swore that on
the morning of June 10 he saw Miss
Sigels body with a cord tied about
the neck on Ling's bed and later saw
Ling put the body in trunk.

HUMOR BURNED AND ITCHED.
Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and
FACET Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by cuticura.

About fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. 1t burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. / went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance Of
the disease, but no further. l finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Rene
dies and found relief in the first trial.
/ continued until l was completely
cured from the disease, and l have
not been troubled since. c. Burkhart,

FAVORED DOGS IN GERMANY
Dachshund Is the Most Popular vari-

ing Second Choice.

The dachshund is the favorite dog
in Germany, and very useful and
pleasant companion he seems to be.
The English bulldog is a good second
in popularity, and the nearer he is to
our standard points the better he is
liked. The fox terrier varies good
deal in size and marking and is evil

their little Poms and their King

Some few dogs in the streets are
harnessed to four wheeled trucks
Usually man and a dog pull. The
work seemed too heavy and exhaust

mongrels of the mastiff type. They
look in fair condition and are not Ill

They Didn't Have to Change.

During the years in which our pure
food laws have been put into effect
there has been a great hurrying and
scurrying on the part of the food man
ufacturers to change their methods to
make them conform to the Jaw.
The Quaker Oats Company is con-
spicuous exception. 1t was admitted
that Quaker Oats was as pure and
clean as possible and that it was an
ideal food.
1t is SO cheap that any one can af-
ford it and so nourishing that every
one needs it. The result of last years
experiments at Yale and other points
where food values were tested is that
Quaker Oats has been adopted by
many persons as their food on which
they rely for adding vigor and endur-
ance of muscle and brain.
This splendid food is packed in three
ways-regular size, large size family
package and Theoretically sealed tins.
The latter especially adapted to hot
climates.

Beaver City, Neb.-Dead at the
throttle of his engine and the train
running itself, was the situation pre-
scented on the passenger train of the

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Mars the Next Field.

There are many who will part from
the north pole with regret. All their
lives it has seemed the one unconquer-
able salient of natures fortress, the
very synonym>of the impossible goal
of human endeavor. With the pole
itself succumbing, the world is no
longer the same, and everything seems
within the realm of mortal achieve
ment. We must now think of talk

"FiIthv Lucre."

The expression filthy lucre" is of
Biblical origin. and is to be found in
the third chapter of the first book OF
Timothy, where the qualifications nee
essary for the Office of bishop
are thus set forth: This is a true
saying. If man desireth the of
flee of bishop, he desireth a good
work A bishop must then be blame
less, the husband of one wife, vigilant
sober, of good behavior, given to hos
pitality, apt to teach; not given to
wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy
lucre; but patient, not brawler, not
covetous."

NOT OVER HALF A DOZEN AR
RESTS MADE.
Small Riots Numerous-Company
Officers Express Hope That Set
Element Will Develop-Stop
Service at Night.

Omaha, Neb-Riot calls have come
from almost all parts of the city, there
being seven such calls within an hour
in the afternoon. Notwithstanding
the activity of the police, not over
half a dozen arrests were made, al
though dozens of cars were stoned
and several of their crews wee more
or less injured.
A Sherman avenue car was attacked
at Fourteenth and Cass streets in the
down town district, and all the win
dows broken and the woodwork badly
damaged. The conductor, Robert Da-
Wis, was knocked down and stunned,
while the motorman took to his heels.
Police arrived while the mob was still
hurting bricks at the car and four ar
rests were made. Officer Kearney
was struck with brick.
At most of the points from which
riot calls came the crowds dispersed
when the officers came in sight and
no arrests were made. While sew
eral cars were badly battered and
quite a number of the imported car
men were injured, it is not believed
that there were any injuries of a
serious nature.

PLANS COAST SCHEDULE

Tip O'Neill, the advance agent for
the White Sox baseball team, has ar
rived in Los Angeles and is arranging
the details and schedule of the games
that will be played here during the
spring between the White Sox and the
Coast league teams.
Tip stated recently that the special
train containing about S5 players
would arrive In San Francisco about
March 2. The squad will then divide,
the second division of players going
to Los Angeles and the first division
remaining in San Francisco, providing
the weather permits. In case of dis
agreeable weather the entire squad of
players will journey to the southern
metropolis and play about four
weeks. AS soon as the players arrive
here Comiskey will order his staff of
pitchers to Byron Hot Springs to
boil out" for a couple of days.
Arrangements will probably be
made whereby the Oakland team,
which will have quite an array of new
talent, will meet the White Sox aggre-
cation in a game or two.

JEfFRIES IS BEST
SAYS SHARKEY
"SAlLOR TOM" BELIEVES JET
FRIES CAN EASILY BEAT
PRESENT CHAMPION.

Speaking of the respective fighting
merits of Jack Johnson and Jim Jeff
ries, Tom Sharkey, the ex-heavy-
weight, pays the following tribute to
his conquerer:
I'm admit that Jack Johnson Is a
great fighter. l picked him to whip
Burns, but / know more about Jeff
ries than any other man in the world
does. because l fought him as rounds,
and l know him from A to u. In the
first place you can't hurt the big Ital-
ian. think he's an Italian. He
looks II to me. l almost broke my
arm trying to knock that big guy
down. l hit him every place l wanted
to and didn't even rattle him.
johnson will hit him, too, but he'll
get tired. Jeff can take all the wal
too big for any one man to fight. l
think he'll have an awful job getting
back into shape, but believe me, If he
does. he will trim Johnson and all the
other fellows that want to fight him.
johnson is the best man in the
world right now, barring Jeff, but
don't ever run away with the idea
that he can whip that big fellow. Jeff
broke lot of my ribs, put a bum ear
on me, and had me in the hospital for
a week or so, and you know that I'm
no frail little thing at that. l don't
think freight train could have
busted me up much more. Me for
Jeff"
