is beyond the bounds of reasonable probability.
Among the lines along which electrical discovery
seems likely to undergo important development is that

the well known fact that electric "feld' will bend

Some Of us, at any rate on both sides
of the Atlantic have begun to realize
that serious study is less likely to injure
women than pinched waists, late hours,
hot rooms and unwholsome food and we
think that it is better for our girls to be
graduated at our schools for science
rather than at schools for scandal We
think that it will better prepare them for
the grave responsibilities OF matrimony
and motherhood than rapid life in
which personal adornment is their chief
aim, and how to kill time and secure a
rich husband, their chief anxiety.

Nearly 400 workers were engaged in

KANSAS TAR OUTRAGE
Four Confessed AssaiIants of Teacher
Are Given a Year Apiece-Con-
victed Men Take Fates
Calmly.

Lincoln Center, Kansas Two
Of the defendants in the sensational
tar party case, John Schmidt and
Sheriff. Clark, were found guilty of
assault and battery by a judge in
Judge Growers court. A. n. Simms,
another of the defendants, was &C
quilted. Sentence on the two con-
victed men wa5 deferred to permit
their attorneys to argue a motion for
a new trial. Earlier in the day SEN
fences Of one year each in the county
jail, the extreme penalty in Kansas
for the oGense charged, was passed
on Everett G.. Clark, Jay FitZwater,
Watson Scranton and Edward Ricord,
confessed assa'lants of Mary Cham
berlain. These defendants were &C
Cused of the same crime.
Ricord already vas in jail, having
been surrend cred by his bOndsmen II
days ago. The court told the three
other men they might have a reason
able time in which to straighten up
their business affairs. Fitzwater says
he will go to Jail next week. Clark's
immense business interests may make
it necessary for him to be free for a
month or more. Scranton said he
would be ready in a few hours and
would not appeal his case. Both the
convicted men took their fates calm
ly. The four confessed men expressed
themselves as actually being glad the
long period of waiting was over. Sher-
i'll Clark and John Schmidt hardly ex-
pected conviction, but they had no
complaint To offer. They are still
free on their bonds.
Altogether, AZ ballots or there
abouts were taken by the jury. The
verdicts for acquittal were made on
the strength of the testimony of An
derson and the elder Clark.
The jury decided that it was Sher-
rell Clark who had furnished the tar,
and that Schmidt had been privy to
the plot from the beginning. No such
testimony had been brought against
Simms, and he was given the benefit
of the doubt, though one of the jur-
ors declared that all the jurors still
consider him probably guilty.
Ballots were taken every three
quarters of an hour. Schmidt was
first found guilty; Clark was found
guilty next; and Simms finally found
innocent. On the first ballot the jury
was unanimous as to the guilt of all
the men, but on the conscientious ex-
animation of the matter during their
30 hours Yigil. Simms was cleared.

NORTHUMBERLAND FRAUDS
OLD SOLDIERS USED AS DUMMYs
BY GRAFTERS.
Report of indictments al Aberdeen
Is Received at Wash
ington.

Washington, Dist. &C Col.-EXten-
sive land frauds through the use of
soldiers ~declaratory statements have
been unearthed by agents of the gen
eral land office in the Northwest, and
the commissioner of the land office
has received a report of the indict-
ment at Aberdeen, S. D., of a half
dozen persons, including women,
charged with conspiracy in these
practices. .
At the land Office at Timber Lake
in South Dakota, 2,100 such state
ments, each covering 100 acres Of
land, have been filed within the last
year, while 100 such statements were
filed in the land office at Lennon.
The effect of the filing of these de-
clarations is to hold the land indef.
nitely, thus shutting out legitimate
entrymen.
1t is asserted hat not one out of 20
of the statements is followed by ac-
tual proving up. The plan is to get
old soldiers or the widows of soldiers
to make preliminary declaration Of
their intention to take up land under
the law, and at the same time procure
from them a REIMBURSEMENT which is
sold to the land seekers. Sometimes
$500 has been obtained for these
ACCOMPLISHMENTS.
Inasmuch as there was no original
intention to acquire the land by the
soldier claimants the government con-
tends that the use of the names of
these people clouds the lands COW
cred by their declarations and de-
prives legitimate home hunters of
their rights.

Richmond, Va, Nov. %. - The
clang Of a steel door-then the mo-
mentary picture of a ~white-haired
father and a young son gazing at
each other for the final time on earth
W the climax in the Virginia
state ~penitentiary Of the next to the
last act in the tragedy of Henry Clay
Beattie, Jr. At 1880 O'Clock, twelve
hours before the execution, the boy
condemned to die in the electric chair
for the murder of his young wife last
July, had to part with the parent who
stood by him with fortune and idel-
ity throughout his ordeal. The youth
never admitted his guilt to his father.
But young Henry Beattie's con-
science would not allow him to leave
the rest of the world retaining the
same impression and so, according to
authentic report, he made q state
ment to his brother, Douglas, earlier
in the evening. What this statement
was no one knows save Douglas. But
the general impression is that the
only statement the boy could make
would be a confession.
The last act of the tragedy began
at 5 o'clock Friday morning, when
Beattie was awakened by the arrival
in his death chamber of his two spir-
itual advisers, Rev. J. J. Fix and Rev.
DR.. Benjamin Dennis. They prayed
with him until n short time before 7
o'clock when his breakfast was serv-
ed. Just at z. the IL witnesses OF
the ~electrocution were summoned
and watched in the room where sits
the electric chair, tests that made
sure it is all right. Then at 1920
with the clergymen preceding him,
and a guard on each side of him, he
was led to his fate. Still maintain
ing his %bravado. he smiled as his
guards strapped him in the chair. A
moment more and Henry Clay Beat
tie, Jr., stood before his. Maker, for
the trial from which there is no ap-
peal.
He was the thirty-seventh victim
Of the electric chair since. it's install
lation -four years ago.. OF the 81 he
would only be the sixth white man.
The first white man, one Gilbert, was
a youth OF only %, just like Beattie.
He went to the chair numbed and
speechless from fright.

MASSACRES CONFIRMED
MOB WIPES OUT BAND OF MAN
cHUS AT SIAN Flu.
5~rigands Roaming Country, Burning,
Robbing and Killing the
Inhabitants.

Pekin, China-Missionaries arriv-
ing in Pekin from Tung Chow Flu, so
miles northeast of Sian Flu, give ac-
counts of the recent revolution in the
province of Shen ST, where the anti
foreign element declared it's intention
to exterminate foreigners, Christians
and M~anchus, but only partly sue
ceeded.
The rebel general at Sian Flu, they
say, issued a proclamation to the peo-
pie not to harm merchants, foreign
ers, or non-Combatant Chinese, but
only to destroy Manchus. The Man
chus thereupon prepared for defense
within their own walled section of
the city. They withstood one attack
by a mob made up of students and SOL
diers, but in al attack next day near
ly all the Manchus were slain. Ac-
cordipg to the missionaries the Chi
nese informed them that horrible bar
baritieS accompanied the slaughter
and that Manchu women were
speared or carried off by Chinese Of
ficerS or soldiers.
After the massacre the revolution
lists neglected to properly police the
city and bandits plundered shops and
demanded money of inhabitants.
They also burned the school of the
Scendinavian-China alliance mission
and killed Nine. Backman and anoth-
er teacher. A missionary was wound
ed, but succeeded in r%escuing a num-
hoy pf the cnbnpl phil6rop
When the rebels restored order
they decapitated many of the outlaws.
During the disorder the English Bap-
fist mission was threatened, but not
attacked.
When the missionaries left Tung
Chow Flu the rebels continued to ad-
minister the city capably, but the bri-
gands swarmed through the province.
Another party arriving in Pekin from
southern Shen 81, believe the Sian Flu
missionaries will be unable to get
away owing to the condition of the
roads. This party was attacked
Willie on the way here by 20 high
waymen, who badly beat DR.. Blom, a
Swedish missionary, who was in ad-
vance of the refugees, and twice
slashed his wife on the head with
ssbers. They declare that IA soldiers
wao were escorting the party did not
once lift their rifest against the out
laws.
The party also gives an account of
a massacre at Tung Kwan. Brigands
posing as revolutionists captured and
looted the town, killing 1900 of it's
inhabitants.
