Threaten Peace of Capital.

Washington. Nov !. = Edward #
Williams, charge d'affaires Of the
American legation at Pekin, has ad.
vised the state department that the
imperial army is dissatisfied with the
edicts issued by the government.
The Shantung army Of ISL, 900 men
and 1000 troops at Pao Ting have Civ
EN- their adherence to the demands of
the troops at Tuan-Chow The de
mands not yet granted Immediate
parliament; that constitutional amend
ments originate in parliament; that
the army, though subject to the con-
troll of the emperor, be not used in
domestic troubles except under regu.
lations adopted by parliament; that
parliament elect the premier; he to
appoint ministers OF state; that the
parliament approve the budget and all
treaties affecting the general interests
Of the country; that the qualifications
of electors for members of parliament
be defined and that the army be con-
suited in regard to the matters.
The rebels in Shansi, Mr.. Williams
added, have retrcated to Using Ching,
controlling the railroad pass. The
Pekin-Hankow railway, however, has
not been injured. The troops at Pao
Ting have refused 10 entrain to meet
the rebel force until the army's de-
mands have been satisfied. ..

appears to be satisfied with the edicts
as he has left for the south.
The reports from Pekin indicate
that the Manchu princes, who are in
dignant at the loss of their control
over the government, are threatening
the peace of the capital. 1t is be-
lieved at the state department, how
ever, that the foreigners in Pekin will
not be in danger, as there Is a strong

Their large farm house was very
prettily decorated with bunting and
flowers and at the front door was pitch
ed large tent where four tables
groaned under the load of things eood
to eat. At noon the bride and groom
marched with smart step to the
strasns of the wedding march, followed
by the others present, to the tent where
all partook of bountiful dinner After
the meal Mr.. and Mrs. Loynes were
each presented with handkerchief,
which contained q nice little sum OF
money, the guests prefering to make
their presented in that farm rather
than by the presentation of numerous
gifts, which might or might not be use
fnl to the donees.
1t is quite remarkable that they
should both be alive and enjoying such
good health for the celebration of this
event. Mr.. Loynes is 81 years of age
and Mrs. Loynes rs. Both are great
lovers of music and during the day en-.
tertained their guests with martial
music with the assistance of the sons
and q sister of the bride. Mrs. L. Fris.
bee of Beroa, Ohio.
The day was also the anniversary of
Mr.. and Mrs. D Loynes, and 80 was of
double Importance. They have been
married six years and received the
wishes of all present that they too
might be able to entertain their friends
on their Goth wedding day.-Elsie Sun.

Corunna, Nov. 1.-The annual re-
port of John Boutwell,, county drain
commissioner, which was recently
submitted to the board of supervisors
shows that during the fiscal year,
ending Sept. 80, this county officer
was kept very busy.
There were 16 applications fol-
drains during the year. Those were
sent by the commissioner to the re-
spective township clerks, and in cas-
IS like the following proposed drains
the township board determined that
no drain was necessary: Shaftsburg,
Snultz, South Looking Glass ana
VermiIlion Creek, Smith, Lyon and
Cronin Joint drains.
These drains were declared neces-
sary by the township boards: Buell.,
Miner, Brandahl and Parker, Coal
Mine, Stevens, Powers and Evans,
Stewart.
There were 10 drains unfinished at
the time of the last report; IL were
completed during the year; eight al
most finished and nine begun. Six
were leveled and surveyed but not
sold.
The commissioner was not forced
to defend his decisions as to the ne
cessity of drains in the probate court
during the year, as has been necessa-
ny for several preceding years.
The total drain tax shows that
where a few years ago every town
ship paid heavy drain taxes, but ID
are assessed this year and for COM
paratively small amounts, as follows:
Antrim, S420; Bennington, $4,S90.-
%; Middlebury, $2,293.74; Owosso
township, $614.50; Rush, $1,542.SS

81; New Haven, $1,276.1S; Perry,
$623.5S; Sciota, $685.; Vernon,
$1S2.25; total $1S,53S.63.
During the year, Commissioner

New Way to Make Apple
Dumplines
Served With Hard Sauce or Cream
and Sugar

and Sugar
BY Mrs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor Of
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
Here is a new way to make apple
dumplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms a crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice.

CHAPTER XII.

Mrs. Blazes opened her window si- lently, and lowered to the ground a rope that was fearfully and wonder fully made. She had used everything and anything, from pillow slips to the cords of the portieres She had enough rope to let her out of a six story building, instead of from a win dow a scant twelve feet from the ground The end of the rope she tied to a table near the window Then she looked down anxiously.
 Tt is dangerous" she sighed.
 The Count wandered into view. He was growing weary of waiting for the hat. At sight of the rope he bright ened up.
 Jump oud, "he suggested.
 Silly" she said; I've got to climb down. Steady the rope"
 He took hold of the lower end and strengthened the rope against the building.
 But how in the world am I to climb down?" she demanded.
 Led yourselluf oud slow, und den slide for 1fe," he told her.
 Their argument grew more intense.

 "Chust his hat!" the Count echoed. Mentally be wondered if it had been a yellow hat with red poppies.
 Thou art man of wrath, General" Medders said. "Once I grew angry at man-in my youthful days"
 And what did you do to him, man of peace?" asked the General, laugh ing, while the Count listened nervous ly.

She was afraid to trust herself to the frail means of reaching the earth, and he was insistent that she should come down at once. In the midst of their talk the front door opened. Mrs. Blazes heard the sound and darted back from the window, taking the rope in with her so swiftly that she left the Count standing with his hands in the air.
 Amos Medders came slowly down the steps, looking intently at the Count, whom he could not recognize in the dark. The Count had not heard him coming and could not understand why Mrs. Blazes had pulled the rope in so suddenly.
 Count von Fitz was dumbfounded when he was seized in a grip of iron and the cold tones of Medders came:
 What are thee doing, scoundrel?"
 General Blazes came up the walk at that instant He had his hat in his hand and was still laboring under ex- citement. When he saw Medders- strug- gling with the Count he leaped into the fray and separated them.
 Whats happening?" he asked.
 Well, am surprised" Medders said. q thought this foolish little man here was burglar"
 What foolish little man? Blazes asked.
