PEKIN, Jan. 16.-Terrorized by the
attempt to kill Yuan Shi Kai with
bomb, the members of the royal family
this afternoon made frantic prepara-
tions to leave Pekin for the summer
palace at Jehol, 115 miles northeast
of here. Fear is expressed that a
reign of anarchy will result unless a
settlement is made at once with the
revolutionists.
Premier Yuan left the imperial PAL
ace at noon and was about to step in
to his carriage when three Chinese
approached him Seeming danger, he
lodged behind his body guard. A mo-
ment later one of the men threw an
internal machine and terrific explo-
sion resulted. Two soldiers, four by
ISLANDERS and the premier's horses
were blown to pieces, but Yuan escap-
ed unhurt.
The assassins escaped A number
of houses near the palace were
searched by soldiers but no bombs
or traces of the assassins were found.

1t is understood that while the
premier was closeted with the royal
family he closed an agreement where

Anarchy Will Come.

The revolution is popular, yet in
grave danger for lack Of money, of
which the Manchus have abundance.

Meet With Accident.


A bad auto spill, in which w. j.
Clemens. of Clemens, and party, were
concerned, occurred Wednesday after
noon at point one and one-half miles
north Of State Center. One member OF
the party. Mrs. Cowan, of Clemens, a
sister of Mrs. Clemens, was the worst
injured, sustaining fracture Of, the
arm. The other members Of the party
were all more or less bruised and
shaken up.
The accident happened when Mr..
Clemens. who was driving the car,
turned out to meet a team. He mis-
ton the weeds growing to the side OF
the road to be much shorter in length
than they really were, and turned his
machine into ditch twelve feet deep.
The car turned completely over, and
that the occupants were not more seri-
ously hurt Is considered miraculous.
The damage to the machine consisted
of a broken wind shield and bent
front axle.

Consul General Frank Dillingham;,
Coburg: The old home of the doll
is Thuringia, especially the town of
Sonneberg, twelve miles from Coburg.
Most of the poorer families in and
around Sonneberg are engaged in this
industry which is the chief source of
revenue of the population, giving en-
ployment for the whole year. The
work demands a great deal of prac-
tice and skill, as we'll as time and
trouble. The inhabitants start max
ing dolls while very young, and by
constant practice are finally able TO
work with astonishing accuracy and
speed In the doll industry only one
special part of the dolls is made by
each person. Some make the bodies,
others the heads, and still others the
arms, hands, etc. BY this division
the work is done much quicker and
better.
The heads are first nodded, and
when sufficiently dry, the eyes are
cut out by a skilled worker with a
very thin, sharp knife. This is ex-
tremely delicate work because all of
the sockets have to be of uniform
