said Secretary Lane Of the interior

his extended trip through the west.
"The lands, once reclaimed, could
be divided into farms of from thirty
to sixty acres, every one Of which
would be taken up promptly" Mr..
Lane added. "This land necessarily
must be reclaimed by the govern
ment, because private reclamation
projects generally have proved fall

HELD CAPTIVES. NO
FOOD OR WATER

Peking, Oct. 10.-Some of the
narrowing experiences of the mis-
sionaries who fell into the hands of
Chinese brigands under the leader
ship Of white WNfJ" at Tsao Yang
were told today in dispatch from
the Rev. Christian Stokstad of the
Hauges Norwegian mission.
when the government troops en-
tered Tsao Yang" sayN his message,
"they found two missionaries, the
Rev. George Holm and the Rev. H.
Fauske, merely living skeletons. The
children had been for ten days hid
den under a heap of straw. For
the first three days they were with
out water. Afterward water was
obtainable, but the captives were
without food for long periods.
"The bandits searched their hid
ing place and thrust their bayonets
through the straw, piercing the
limbs of those hidden beneath.
when the brigands discovered
that the fugitives were women and
children they treated them well,
delaying them at the chiefs lodg-
Ings."

USE GAS AT CLAY CENTER.

Clay Center, Oct. 10.-George
Mccormick came before the council
asking for a franchise for a plant
for the manufacture of gas for heat

sented and read an ordinance COW
efing the matter. It was a brand

good deal of discussion. Manhat-

seem we'll pleased.
The measure was read the second
time. Councilman Tremmel only
voting no, and finally passed. Mr..
Tremmel is still objecting.
Mr.. McCormick's idea is to start
work on the plant early next spring
and 1t is probable that $4,000 to
100000 will be expended in its
erection. s~,f

mob of from ten to fifteen persons
and. rotten-egged and hit with a
brick and his clothes practically
torn from him.
Hanson filed suit in the, district
court at Mcpherson against the city
of Lindsborg for $4,000 for damages
but the clerk of the district court
refused to accept his petition and
is holding it.
The petition relates that his as
sault was continuation of pre-
vious assault that occurred on the
9Th, 9Th and 7th of October. The
city officers and police knew of the
assault planned, he says, and were
conveniently absent.

CONSIDER sUEIS0 CoILIERs'.
Editorial Arouses Wrath Among
Atchison Citizens.

Atchison, oct. ia libel suit
against Golfers Weekly, as the re-
suit of a recent editorial criticising
Atchison and its mayor and coun-
cilmen, is being talked of freely
here. Discussing the recent Atchi-
son bond transaction, the editorial
says in part: "A mandamus was is
sued calling for the collection Of
the entire sum at a single tax levy
this year. The people OF Atchison
did not enjoy this. In consequence
then the treasurer of Atchison Of
fered S per cent bonds. The bond
holders refused. Even the school
funds OF Kansas caused the issue.
Nobody wanted them; reputation
has an unpleasant order. AS a con-
sequence OF Mayor Finney's wild
talk and proposals. Atchison will
probably pay its debt now with 9
per cent bonds, where per cent
bonds would have done very-well II
It had not been in the hands OF a
mayor with oversophlsticated notions
of finance"
The facts are that the mandamus
proceedings did not call for pay
ment in one year, and Levinson &
Co., and the Columbia Knickerbock-
er Trust company of New York, the
only plaintiffs, we're paid September
80. They were paid in money and
not in per cent bonds, which they
could not have If they had wanted
them.
The great majority of the bond
holders jumped at the opportunity
to get the new per cent paper.
The state school fund, instead of
refusing the new school bonds, as
Golfers states, took them.
