Mrs Lillian Fulton, well known

She had been troubled for some tune
with heart trouble and of late other
complications had set In, proving
fatal late yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Fulton labored for years as an
evangelist. She made hundreds Of
conversions. Her face was for years
a familiar one to the denizens Of the
.jails Of this and other cities, as she
periodically went to those Institutions
and held meetings, which often were
remarkably successful.
Members of Mrs. FulIon's family
say she is but SO years old, though
she appeared to be many years older
and was generally considered to be- so.
She is said to have been born in
Tennessee, May "a, 1880. Early in
life, she was married to Lewis Fulton.
This marriage resulted in one son,
Richard Fulton, 20 years old, of this

China, where he is medical mission.

nomination, according to accounts re-
ceived here by friends. Doctor Sell
mon was travelling through that sec
ton of the province, where revolution
is rife and where bands Of marauders
with murderous weapons are looting,
when his life was threatened. Ac-
companied by two other missionaries
by the names of Frederick Lee and
into that province to look after a new
interest that had recently sprung
up, where lately their church has
organized four Sabbath schools nd
prepared to start church schools. and
where about fifty persons have re-
quested baptism.
These workers returned by the old
dusty highway. said to be thousand
years old. That length of time is be-
lieved to have passed since the cara
vans first took their loads of silk
over the plains and mountains to
western Asia and Europe At places,
the road Is worn down in the loose
soil till 1t Is sunken away into the
earth, and the walls stand on either
side like great precipices.
While on their way, the mission
aries met a squad Of bandits, who told
them to halt and deliver over all
arms and ammunition. When assured
that they had met missionaries, they
searched the baggage, and then drove
on, leaving the missionaries thankful
to have escaped SO easily. But soon
there came up another band Of rob-
bers, more fierce and insolent, with
pistols and great knives. They &C.
cused the missionaries of being for
eigners connected with the govern
ment artillery and were not inclined
to accept their word that they were
only missionaries.

They commanded them to alight
from the cart, at the rnuzzles Of
rifles. They robbed them of their

they should shoot the missionaries or
not They decided to take them to
the robber chief, who was coming on
n a mule cart So the three marched
ahead, in front Of the pointed rifle,
under violent threats and invectives.
Doctor Selmon says that when
they came to this prince Of bandits,
a rough, one-eyed fellow, with his two
great pistols and strings Of cart
ridges, they used their most polite
Chinese, and tried to ingratiate them

Hundreds Accommodated at the varl-
Gus Bathing Beaches Every
Evening DuruIno Hot
Period.
FREER COSTUMES
Fashion Change Aids Popularity Of
Water sports-Those Who
Can't Swim Are Learn
Ing at "Y."

The hot weather has promoted
bathing in this vicinity to an unpre-
cedented degree. Every evening,
hundreds try dip in the cooling
waters Of Lake Keokuk, there to OBJ
tain relief from the worries and cares
Of the hot day.
Bathing seems to be much more
popular this year than in the past,
due in a measure perhaps to the
change in the fashions in bathing
suits No longer is the bathing beach
merely for purposes of promenade.
Rather. the water is the great attrac-
ton. Those pretty bathing suits,
with flowing skirts, and Tapping col
lars might have looked fine when out
OF the water, but once the fair wearer
OF one dived in, and got the garment
wet, 1t became q great hindrance to
the movements of the body, so that
1t was almost impossible to swim.
Under Water Anyway.
The girls suggest that they are
under water all the time anyway and
that no one has to look at anything
but their faces-if they don't look
nice enough, people can look else
where. The new one-piece costumes
are tight fitting, and offer no hind
rance to the motions of the limbs in
the swimming strokes. Shoes and
stockings are usually omitted.
Many Can't Swim.
However, there are many who have
not yet learned to swim, to whom
bathing in the lake is only half a
who is there that likes
to sit around on the edge, padding
in the shallow water, and watch the
others out in the deep water enjoy
ing the stimulating exercise to the
full?
Y Pool Popular.
AS result the pool at the Y. M.
G. A. has become even more popular
than in the past, as it is an ideal
place to learn to swim under the
skilled instruction offered. sss This has
been fine for the young men and boys,
but the girls have been complaining
Of late that there has been no place
for them to learn. Recently, as a
result Of these complaints, the direc-
tors of the Y. M. C. A. voted that
during certain hours the girls could
use the pool.
Classes have been organized, which
will be taught by H. T.. Orsborn
There are four OF these classes, each
Of which will meet twice week.
The classesgare proving popular and
many girls have enrolled. The first
class will bc held tomorrow. and
regularly for the next few weeks.
