The pence proclamation of the Em
peror of China 1b a remarkable mixture
Of wisdom and superstition. It declares
that continuance of the war wa« ren
dered impossible by the gross Incompe
tence of the lenders and the terrible
condition of the country, and clinches
tho argument with the words: "Heaven
had not withheld its angry. The sea
overflowed the coast and the camps
were submerged." An enlightened re
form administration would Beem to be
imperative In the Celestial realm.
Young Mr. Astor Is a line example ol
the power of money In literature. Hav
ing written a book—which. Indeed,
might have been worse—he gets up an
elegant copy and sends it to King Oscar
by special messenger. Mr. Howells or
Mr. Clemens or Mr. Stoddard would
have ben obliged to rely on a registered
letter post, which would have been
very uncertain. But Mr. Astor corners
royalty with his messenger and insures
a reception. It Is useless for contempo
raneous authors to buck against Mr.
Astor.
Dr. DeSaussure believes that he has
discovered that the negro race Is dying
out In the United States. He tries to
prove hts conclusions by local statis
tics which show more deaths than
births of colored persons In South Car
olina cities. In his deduction he is not
supported by the latest census. It may
he contended that the development of
the American negro has been tardier
than his friends anticipated when citi
zenship was given to him. Neverthe
less, such development is actually tak
ing place.
The Chilian congress has recently
enacted legislation guaranteeing the
capitol of the Transandine Railway
Company for 20 years at 4V4 per cent,
which virtual subsidy will enable the
completion of the road between the two
oceans. The line will do a great deal
for South America. Its completion will
mean that the long journey around Cape
Horn Is only for cargoes and that pas
sengers Instead of prolonging a voyage
about two weeks can reach the Pacific
from the Atlantic or vice versa in 72
hours. The galta afforded by this route
can be Imagined. Chili is brought some
thousands of miles nearer the United
States and England, and she will be nc
longer a remote country.
Charles R. Sllgh of Grand Rapids
has Just returned from England, where
he has been looking over the prospects
of establishing a furniture trade in
the English market. He is very confi
dent from his observations that a sub
stantial and. profitable trade can be es
tablished if the American manufactur
ers will comply with the English ideas
of style and finish. It is useless, he
thinks, to try to force goods upon the
English market which are not built on
the accepted lines, but by making nec
essary changes goods can be manufac
tured here and sold in England in com
petition with the English manufactur
ers at a substantial profit. It is his
purpose to manufacture a line of goods
especially for the foreign trade, follow
ing Ideas which he gained abroad.
An experiment of some importance
is reported, made with a view to deter
mine, if possible, the origin of natural
gas, Irrespective of theories hitherto
prevalent. For this purpose dried sea
weed was steeped in water which had
been freed from air, and on the third
day gas appeared, continuing to be
evolved in diminishing quantities until
the tenth day, when 803 cubic centimet
ers had been collected. The evolution
had evidently ceased, though after
standing two years and a half thirty
cubic centimeters more of gas collect
ed In the apparatus; the second gas dif
fered from the first, consisting, it is re
corded. almost entirely of methane—
the chief constituent of natural gas—
from which it is inferred that this slow
secondary decomposition of vegetable
matter has some relation to the origin
of natural gas.
Hall’s Journal of Healthy says:
"Don't economize in bath water. Don't
economize sleep. Don’t be stingy with
fun. Laugh all you can. Laughing
•hakes up the system, makes the blood
circulate, starts the digestion, warms
the feet, relaxes the nervous system—
In a word, it rests you all over.” That
settles it, If one had nothing to do but
accept such advice. But how are you
going to laugh when the rent day is
«t hand and the money isn’t. Suppose
you have a boll, or the blues, or the
toothache. Everybody likes to laugh,
but most people have got to be worked
up into a funny mood. Got to have
good digestion, a steady Job, something
to eat and something to wear. If every
day were a circus and every night a
minstrel show, that advice would bring
•s many testimonials as a patent med
icine. If time were a clown and trouble
only a jack-in-a-box, life would be one
thrce-score-and-ten-year laugh. But it
Isn’t. So far as the advice can be taken,
if. It is good; very good.
A little Atchison girl was given a
picture card at Sunday school, on

The next Sunday the teacher asked
whom the picture represented. “They

The amendment of Wolfuerger was

“The money of the country should be
issued by the general government only,
through government banks of loan and
deposit, directly to the people upon ad
equate security and at a uniform rate
ot interest, it should be a full legal
tender for the payment of all debts,

favor a money composed of legal tender
treasury notes based upon the credit of
the nation, coin being used for sub

swim, sank and were drowned. The
boys were about 24 and 22 years of age,
respectively, and unmarried. Their
comrades worked hard to save them
from a watery grave, but to no avail.
Their father, YV. II. Pishburn, one of
the best known and respected farmers
in that vicinity, was an eye witness of
the sad affair. The bodies were recov
ered after floating some distance down
the river. Another brother, Daniel
Pishburn, is a teacher in the Grant]

One Maniac Kill* Another.
Governor Holcomb has received a let
ter of explanation from Dr. Damarell,
superintendent of the Hastings Asylum
for incurable Insane, in relation to the
death of Patient Wood, killed by Car
roll. Dr. Damarell says that Carroll
attacked Wood June 15, beating him
over the head with a piece of stone.
Wood was rescued from the clutches of
the maniac and taken to his room.
For the following two days Wood
seemed to be on the road to recovery,
but suffered a relapse and died on the
morning of June 18. Dr. Damarell is
emphatic in his statement that there
was no attempt at concealment, but
says the utmost publicity was given to
the affair. However, it is true that
the governor was not informed of the
tragedy until after June 20, and then
not uniil he had read an account of the
affair in the papers. The dispatches
from Hastings conveyed the intelli
gence that the patient had been killed
on the spot and at the time the attack
was made. This statement is evident
ly wrong.
_
Robbed tbe Creamery.
Bert Carter and Jess Wilson were ar
rested by Sheriff Hunter of Custer coun
ty, upon a warrant charging them with
stealing about 800 pounds of butter
from the Sargeant creamery. After
the arrest the butter was traced to
where it had first been placed, in W. .1.
Wood's cellar, and from there taken in
the night to the ice house, where it
was found by the officers. It is claimed
Wilson had no knowledge of the theft,
but believed it was Carter's butter, and
that he accompanied Carter for com
pany. Carter claims the creamery
owed him and would not pay him and
that he he took the butter* to get his
pay.

ROBBED OF THOUSANDS.
TYPEWRITER INVENTOR YOST DE
FRAUDED OF MUCH MONEY.
IS WORKED BY "MEDIUMS.”
Completely at the Mercy of • Gn( of
Sharpen—Hts Family Deserted and
HU Fortune Squandered—He la
Mow Poor and a Physical
Wreck—StIU Believes In
the Medium Frauds.
New \ork, July 8 — Because of his
belief in spiritualism and through the
impositions of a professional medium,
G. \V. N. Yost, the inventor of the
typewriter, is living apart from his
family in a furnished flat in West Fif
ty-fourth street, attended by a friend
and provided with none of the luxuries
of life which are necessary to a man
70 years old. He has expended time
and thousands of dollars in pursuing
the ignis fatuus which spiritualists
have danced before his eyes. He
acknowledges that he is poor and a
physical wreck. Yet he still believes
in the men who imposed upon him,
and declares that he is as certain about
the things he believes he has seen as
he is that there is a heaven. He was
a man of fine intellect, a. man who
still has a family who is devoted to
him, yet is almost deserted, is scarcely
able to talk, much less continue his
once brilligtit career. The man who
was the prime mover in the conspiracy
of mediums is summering at Onsett
Bay, Mass.
When visiting the world’s fair in
Chicago some acquaintances told Mr.
Yost that they knew of a young girl
named Lizzie Bangs, who was able to
secure the most remarkable state
ments from dead worthies by means of
an ancient and very decrepit typewrit
ing machine. Mr. Yost visited the
medium and found that pieces of paper
were apparently taken from the cylin
der of the machine signed with all the
names of history from Moses to Gar
field.
Yost was immensely) interested be
cause here was an actual exemplifica
tion of his own idea of what spirits
could do with a typewriter in case
they felt so inclined. Miss Bangs
lived on Elizabeth street, Chicago, and
Mr. Yost visited her several times and
presented her with a new typewriter
which did infinitely better work than
the old one. But Miss Bangs was an
independent medium and it has never
been intimated that she was responsi
ble for Mr. Yost’s misfortunes. He
was, however, convinced that type
writing could be done in this way and
he made up his mind that in order to
have constant communication with
the departed he must have a medium
of his own. He accordingly sur
rounded himself with a galaxy of
young men who were represented as
excellent mediums.
From spirtualistic typewriting to
spiritualistic portrait painting was an
easy sransition. Mr. Yost became in
terested in this branch of occult won
ders much as Luther R. Marsh, the
prominent New York attorney, be
came interested in the spirit portraits
produced by Ann O’Delia Dissdebar.
He spent thousands of dollars upon the
mediums and quarreled with friends
who paotested, Mrs. Beech of this city,
widow of the founder of the Scientific
American, Melville C. Smith, pro
jector of the Arcade railway of this
city, and Robert Anderson, a wealthy
mine owner of Minneapolis, are among
the persons who have purchased pic
tures from this syndicate of mediums.

Reports of a Sensational Religions Blot
Lacking all Conflrmatlon.
Evansville, Ind., July 8.—Last
night a sensational report was sent out
from English that there had been a
terrible religious riot at a German
Catholic picnic at Siberia, an isolated
village of Perry county, Thursday
afternoon. The report declared that
anti-Catholics, mad with liquor, had
attacked the Germans, and that 1,000
persons had participated in the con
flict which had resulted in three deaths
and the injury of over fifty persons,
several mortally.
To-day telegrams of inquiry were
sent to Troy, Cannellton, Tell City,
Huntingburg and other points in that
vicinity, and all answered that they
knew nothing about the reported riot.

that the evidence showed a condition
of affairs that was a disgrace and a
shame to the state. They continued:
“We do not feel it gratuitous to sav

NO ONE REALLY TO BLAME.
Report* of the Expert!* in Regard to the
Steanmhlp Colima Dimuiter.
Washington, July 8.-— (ieneral Du
mont, supervising inspector general of
steam vessels, has received from the
inspector of the San Francisco district
the following report of the loss of the
Pacific mail steamer Colima:
‘‘We have investigated the matter of
this most deplorable disaster, taking
testimony of a number of its surviving
passengers and erew, including that of
Third Officer O. C. Hansen, who is the
only officer saved; and also of others
who were competent to speak of the
vessel herself.
“From the evidence there appears to
have been no danger anticipated until
five or ten minutes before the ship
went down. _ It appears that there
was good discipline maintained on
board in the deck and the engine de
partments, all orders having been
obeyed, and we therefore can attach
no blame to the third officer, Mr. Han
sen. Captain Taylor was in charge on
the bridge on the steamer all the
morning of May 37 until she foundered
and it may have been that he was at
tempting to keep her off before the
sea, or to wear her around on the other
tack when she was caught in the
trough of the sea- and thrown on her
beam ends. _ But without his testimony
or that of his first officer and the chief
engineer of the steamer, it is impossible
to decide the true cause of the disaster.
“With regard to the steamer Colima
there can be no doubt that she was a
staunch and seaworthy vessel. She
was inspected March 15, 1895, and her
hull, boilers and equipments found to
be in good order. She was examined
in dry dock May 14, 1895, and her bot
tom found in good condition, and new
blades put on her propeller. She was
classed.34 L. 11 in “Bureau Veritas,”
which is the highest class which that
society awards to steam vessels. The
Colima was an iron vessel, built in
1873 at Chester, Pa., new boilers in
1887 at San Francisco, Cal,, of 2,905.65
tons gross, 2,143.s5 tons net, and was
valued at $225,000.
“The exact number of lives lost is
not obtainable at present for the rea
son that the number of way passen
gers received is not yet reported by
agents to the company’s office at San
Francisco. The number so far known
with any degree of certainty to be lost
is eighty-five passengers and sixty
eight crew.
Mr*. Lean Loiei Her Case.
Topeka, Kan., July 8.— The supreme
court to-day decided the case of Mary
Elizabeth Lease against George A.
Clark, holding that when Mrs. Lease
was appointed to be a trustee of the

by Governor Lewelling in 1893, it was
for an unexpired and not for a full
term and that Governor Morrill's ap
pointment of George A. Clark to be
her successor was regular and in ac
cordance with law. The opinion was
written by Associate Justice Johnston,
Chief Justice Martin and Associate
Justice Allen concurring.
