MISSIONARIES SLAIN
TEN KILLED BY CHINESE AMD
BUILDINGS DESTROYED.
One Version Is That Trouble Started
With French Jesuits Six Catholics
and English Family of Four Said to
Have Been Killed.
Shanghai, Keb. 27. Somewhat con
tused reports have reached hero of a
massacre of missionaries at Nan
chang, province of Kiangsi. As near
ly as can bo ascertained, ten mission
aries were killed and one child of an
Dngllsh missionary was wounded.
It Is alleged that after long contin
ued disputes between the Catholic
priests and the Chinese magistrate of
Nanchang, the priests Invited the
maglstrato to u banquet, where they
tried to compel him to sign an agree
ment for the payment of a large In
demnity for the destruction of Catholic
mission property. According to one
report, the magistrate became Indig
nant and committed suicide, but the '
Chinese assert that a priest attacked
and killed him. The officials, fearing
to nrreBt the priest, called a public
meeting, whereupon the Catholics, ac- '
cording to the Chinese version of tho
trouble, set fire to their own premises.
The public meeting of tho Chlnoso
developed Into a riot, In which, ac
cording to one story, six of tho Catho
lics were 'killed, though a later ac
court Bays the number of Catholics
killed was four. J. C. Kingman, a
Protestant missionary, and his wlfo
also were killed and one o2 their two
children wns wounded, the other be
ing rescued. Tho only Protestant
mission buildings destroyed were
those of the Plymouth Brethren. Four
teen Americans csenped In a boat.
Tho Nanchang city gates are now
locked.
Tho governor's report states that
elx Catholic missionaries were killed,
besides an English family or four.
GOODING TELLS OF CONFESSION.
Arrest of Miners Based on Orchard's
Story of Twenty-six Murders.
Boise, Ida., Feb. 2G. Governor
Gooding issued tho following state
ment with respect to the Steuuenbcrg
assassination case;
"I want to state officially that Har
ry Orchard has made a full confession
as to the manner and motive of tho
nssassination of ex-Governor Stcunen
berg, telling of tho plans mado and
giving the names of those making
them. The assassination of ex-Governor
Steunenberg, which occurred at
his own gate on the evening of Dec.
30, 1905, was the third attempt that
Orchard made against his life. This
confession wns made to James Me
Parland. It Included a history of his
life from his early boyhood up to tho
time of his arrest. In that confession
Orchard Implicated all those now un
der nrrest and others, including J. Ij.
Slmpkins. He told tno story of twenty-six
murders, the results of con
spiracies, In which all the nccused
parties worp Interested. 'When this
story Is given to the public I believe
It will be tho greatest narrative of
crime which tho world knows. There
has never been any doubt as to the
truth of Orchard's confession among
thoso who are familiar with tho crimes
committed In Idaho and Colorado
and chorged to the inner circle of the
Western Federation of Miners. 1
have seen Orchard myself since this
confession wns made. Ho told me
that no promises of clemency or
reward had been held out to him by
McParland or others. The finding of
the bomb at Judgo Goddard's gate
and many other things which will lat
er be mado known at tho trial proved
the truthfulness of Orchard's confes
sion beyond all question to those fa
miliar with his story."

REV. WARE IS SENTENCED.
Gets Ons Year in Jail at Omaha and
$1,000 Fine.
Omaha, Feb. 28. Tho remarkable
incident of ono clergyman offering to
servo the jail sentence of another was
presented in the United States district
court when Judgo Munger sentenced
Uev. George G. Ware to serve one
year In tho Douglas county jail, In ad
dition to paying a fine of $1,000 for
conspiracy to defraud tho government
out of titles to public land. No sooner
had tho court Imposed sentence thnn
Rev. George A. Beecher, dean of Trin
ity Episcopal cathedral of Omaha,
arose and expressed his willingness to
go to jail for his brother, In whlse In
nocenco he professed absoluto confi
dence. Judgo Munger said, In reply to Dean
Beecher: "The court deeply appre
ciates this situation and shares In the
personal feeling prevailing, but the
court haB a duty to perform that It
cannot avoid."
Beforo sentenco was passed upon
Ware by Judgo Munger he mnde a
strong plea for leniency, reiterating
that he wns Innocent of tho offense of
which ho had been convicted and de
claring thnt he had been wrongfully
and unfairly tried.
Attorney Henry Frawley called
Judge Munger's attention to some of
the persons who had signed a petition
asking leniency for Ware. The peti
tion wns signed by some 1,000 per
sons, among whom were educntors,
church men, lawyers and business
men of South Dakota.
A bill of errors was presented to
the court by Attorney Mahoney for
tho defense, and Ware's appeal bono
was fixed at $5,000. The case will be
taken up to the circuit court of ap
peals as soon as the long transcript
can be prepared.
INHUMAN TREATMENT OF GIRL.
Dragged About by Hair of Her Head
and Skull Fractured by Officers.
St. Petersburg, Feb. 20. Great
wrath has been aroused In liberal cir
cles by the publication of a letter
from Mile. Spirldonovo, the seventeen-year-old
girl who shot M. Luzhenoft
sky, chief of the secret police at Tarn
boff, In which she describes the Indig
nities and brutalities to which she
was subjected. The letter says that
after the shooting of Luzhenoffsky
Mile. Spirldonovo was knocked down
and beaten with the whips of tho Cos
sacks and with rifle butts. She was
then dragged by her hair downstairs
to- a sleigh, taken to a police station,
undressed and thrust Into a damp,
cold cell, where she was subjected to
eleven hours of torment In order to
force her to reveal the names of her
accomnllepb.
The g'rl says two olllcors took bru
tal pleasure in kicking her back, nud
forth across her cell, tearing her hair,
burning nor flesh with their cigarettes
and threatening her abandonment to
the Ccssacks unless she confessed.
She Is now in a hospital In a serious
condition. Her skull Is fractured In
two places, one eye Is Injured and her
body is a mass of bruises from head to
foot. Tho newspapers demand the
instant triul and punishment of the
two officers, whose names ore given,
but the vengeance of the revolution
ists will probably anticipate official
action.

Often The Kidneys Are
Weakened by Oyer-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
traced to the kidneys,
but now modern
science
nearly
proves that
all diseases
have their hegiuninir
in the disorder of
these most important
organs.
The kidneys filter
and purify the blood-
that is their work
Therefore, when your kidncysare weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
1 If you are sick or " feel badly," begin
Inking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon
as your kidneys are well they will help
all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mis
take by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild nud the extraordinary effect of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy, is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
haven sample bottle noraoofBwamrItoot.
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper
when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co. Ring-
hnmton, N. Y. Don't make any mistake
I but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
I Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the ad
' lrcss, Binghamton.N.Y.. on every bottle.
