It Is net stated how tunny of the peti tions wero granted. How to suppress needles noises has now become a serious problem In out large cities. The unceasing racket of wagona and ears, of gongs nnd whistles, years the nerves, no matter how habituated one may have become to theso sounds. Many patient moth- ra and overworked school teachers have long carried on a hopeless cam paign against noise. Let us hope that municipal ordinances will be more sue lessfltl. Like the French, tho Chinese have hut two regular meals In the day, one at 8 or 10 In tho morning, tho other nt C or 0. There nre numerous dain ties on tho table, whiih nro eaten with 11m f.llntl utli.lfu nti.l t.m (u flin tuivnt. age. The Chinese sometimes make their ten In teapota, much as we tenpota, much as we do, but they also frequently make It rep urately, directly In each cup, throwlni', In a few leaves and pouting on them the boiling water. Tho cups, which are ar. large as our breakfast cups, nro pio vlded with lids, which are left on while tho tea !a browing. Pipes are smoked at Intervals during tho meal.

Forty thousand people nrr now crowded on n narrow strip ol beach In that Inhospitable climate, threatened with typhoid fever and smallpox. Tho claims for tulles along tho shore nro taken, and for tulles lu lnud on the tundra. Even those who took In great stores of provision and miner's supplies, with n view to trade, find the stock so largo nnd competition so keen thnt they cannot sell their goods even nt cost. The appeal la now made for medical olllcers and for gov ernment transports to bring homo thoso wIiobo funds aro exhausted. It Is the same pitiful story of reckless and Ignorant greed which every gold mining' camp repeats Tito closeness of tho bonds between nations Is again itlusttntcd by the trouble In China. During tho winter and spring tho cottonmllla of Lowell have been running day and night. Now they nro beginning to curtail pro duction, simply because tho disturb ances in China havo closed an Im portant market. The Southern mills feel tho blow oven more sevetely, for they tnnko tho grade of goods moat used in China. From the Pacific coast, at tho satno time, como reports of frelglit-hundlora laid off because ot the great decline in shipments o nnd from China, nnd In the middle West tho ginseng-diggers nre in hardship from the Bnmo cause.

A Leavenworth, Kits., August 21 dis patch inys: A peculiarly distressing quadruple tragedy took place today tit Farley, a small town across the. river, In Missouri.

Dil lingham, sheriff of Platte i utility, who tried to arret him, and was In turn shot dead by Harry Dillingham, the sheriff's son. Ilefore ho was cornered by the slierlir and posse, Harrington held tip the clerk in a general store at the point of his revolver and exchanged shots with the clerk, firing into n crowd of spectators. Hlirrlngtott'.s twelve-year-old daughter was a forced witness of tho different stages of the tragedy, the physician taking her with him in ills buggy as he went from place to place, on his bloody errand. Harrington had quarrelled with his wife and driven her from home, and had had words with .lames Wallace over a lino fence. He had been on a protracted spree. Harrington drove to the home of Wallace and demanded to know when his wife was. Wallace said he didn't know, whereupon Har rington shot htm. Ho then drove to the home of Mrs. William Wallace, who informed him she didn't know the whereabouts of Mrs. Harrington. Ho then shot her dead. Going to Leavenworth he purchased some cartridges for his revolver and a 44-enllbre rillc and ammunition for it. He went to Farley, entered William Welie's general store, demanded money, and was given 8.1. He started to lenvo tho store, when a clerk named Daniel Cannon fired at him. Harring ton turned and emptied his revolver at tho crowd. At th; door he mot Sheriff Dillingham, whom ho shot dead, being in turn killed by tho sheriff's son, Harry, Thi! cause of tho shooting is said to bo trouble caused by Harrington hav ing been expelled from tho Masonic lodge of Farley. Ho charged his uncle, .lames Wallace, and Daniel Cannon, with being instrumental in the pro ceedings. No reason has been ascribed for Harrington having shot his mother-in-law.

A printer has made an estimate on the length that the otllclal ballot will be in Douglas county. Nebraska, and he finds that owing to the number of legislative candidates nominated by several parties the olllcial ballot at the presidential election Will be about five feet long. To avoid pasting two sheets of paper together the printers will have to order a special size, and it is doubted whether any press will print the ballot at one Impression, The length of the ballot will differ in different counties. The condition is the combined result of the new ballot law and of the large number of ofllcors to be elected. The law provides that the ticket shall not bo printed in blanket form, but that it shall be on a long1 strip of paper upon which the names will appear one below the other. It specifically provides that ench name shall bo printed in capitals one-eighth of an inch in height, that the squares opposite the names shall be a quarter of an inch and that spaces of cither three-sixteenths or a quarter of an inch shall be left between each nntne.

The herders were forced to drive their Hocks up in the mountains to get feed, owing to the scarcity of both feed and water on the plains bclow.and it is feared thnt many of those herders have been surrounded with their Hocks by tho Unities. The timber is as dry as tinder and burns fiercely. Nothing can prevent the progress of the Haines except a heavy rain. It is estimated that the loss thus far, exclusive of the millions of feet of fine timber, will bo over 8200,000, Minors have joined the forest rangers in the work of fighting the tiros. Their com bined efforts, however, seem to be of no avail. YOUTSEY CASE POSTPONED Illnei of Defendant Will Not I'ermlt of Trlul.
