CHINESE MASSACRE
 SEVEN FOREIGNERS.
Many Native Girls Also Slain
 at Sianfu School.

Swedish missionaries who arrived at Tientsin confirm the reports of the massacre at Sianfu.
 The victims, they said, were Mrs. Beckman. a schoolmistress; five for. eign children, a German in the Chinese mail service and many Chinese girls who attended Mrs. Beckman's school The Chinese girls were killed because their feet were normal and they were mistaken for Manchu girls.
 It appears that the missionaries had persuaded the girls to remove from their young feet the bandages usually worn for the purpose of forming the much admired small feet for which the Chinese women are noted.
 The Swedish missionaries, whose names are Sandberg and Erickson, say the magistrates of their town offered them $400 each to depart. The party was attacked and robbed after they had left, and one was severely wound ed by highwaymen in Honan.

RUSSELL TO BE THE
 REPUBLICANS CHOICE
Representative From Carroll County May Be Candidate For Governor
 At the Next Election.

Little Rock, July 17.-While there is more or less activity among his friends of the various Democratic statesmen over the state for places On 1 the Democratic ticket, there are some signs of life among the Republicans. Friends of Hon. R. J. Russell in vali- ous sections of Arkansas have sug- gested that he would be the logical candidate for governor on the Re- publican ticket in 1912. MT. Russell was the representative from Carroll county in the recent legislature. He was recognized as the minority lead CT, and as such was the first Repub- lican for years to stand out persist ently for minority representations His speech near the close of the ses- sion for minority representation on boards of assessment as provided for in the Turner-Jacobson bill is regard ed as one of the most logical made during the entire session. It has been printed and has been extensively cir culated. Two of his principal tenets are set forth in the following:
 Taxation without representation is one of the worst species of tyranny
 The highest and noblest attribute of any political party is the the proper recognition of the rights of the min- ority
 He alleged that the Democratic party has shown it's inability to pro- perly and wisely administer the af- fairs of the state, and said: "The de- plorable condition of the states in- stitutions; with a governor handi- capped at every turn, necessitating an extraordinary session of this body immediately following the longest and most expensive session in the history of the state; and with an absolutely empty treasury; all this is ample proof to sustain the charge I make"

BREED THEATER.

One of the most delightful Indian pictures of the season is the very bril- liant Biograph drama of the redmen entitled The Squaw's Love and the fea- ture at the Breed today. This picture brings into prominence the wonderful aquatic girl who made The Diving Girl famous and shows her in most pie turesque character of Wild Flower, the chiefs daughter. In this part she is called upon to seek revenge upon a band of drunken Indians who are pur- suing her in canoes. After they have fired upon her several times without injuring her, she dives from the boat and allows their canoes to pass over her. and as they do so she rips a hole in each of them, which causes them to sink with their terrified occupants. Fer great ability to swim under many trying conditions makes her a very valuable person in the great Biograph cast. and the picture is especially beau tiful and at times extremely thrilling. The story is consistent and has the added novelty of being very original.
 A superbly dramatic story Of an army post is entitled The Two Officers. This is an Edison film and besides car rving some of the best acting on the bill introduces a day with the cavalry. with a sham battle and other drill work which is very instrnctive.
