The old settlers of Portage County ,
Wisconsin , had a' reunion' at Plover a
few days ago. Among those present
was Benjamin Ellis , now 82 years old ,
who was a passenger on the first train
of cars run in the United States , between -
tween Boston and Lowell , sixty years
ago. Mr. Ellis was born in the State
of Main , and was in Boston when the
first experiment in railroading was
made. A track was laid around Fan-
euil Hall and a car placed on it. The
power was applied by men who turned
a crank , and he was one of them. This
i was six years before the railroad from
Boston to Lowell was built.

"Pardon me , M. le Ministre , but you
are reading an old report with which
we are well acquainted , as it was read
to us by one of your predecessoors :
Several members of the committee began -

an apology and , folding up his papers ,
bowed himself out.
The average expenses of the students
at Yale College , according to the senior
class book , are $912 for the freshman
year , $943 for the sophomore , $942 each
for the junior and senior years. There
are many students whose expenses are
much less than these amounts , but
there are many others whose expenses
are much more , to raise the average to
more than the earning capacity of the
average graduate for several years at a
least after he leaves college. These
figures would require an earning capacity -
pacity of from $18 to $20 a week , or
more than $3 a day for the six working
days of the week. How many college
graduates can secure positions where
they will earn $20 a week ?

The English Liberals are still assertt
ing that they were turned out of power
by a "snap vote. " As it is evident that
the whole question of the political corn1
plexion of Parliament will shortly be
f
settled by an appeal to the country , it
might be the wiser part for the Liberals -
erals to strive to show cause why they
shoufd be restored to power rather
than to waste time in whimpering over r
the way in which they were deprived b
af _ it. At this distance it does not seem
that the late Liberal regime in Parliament - S
ment has .produced any tangible re-
sults. None of the reforms promised
0
has been effected. Under Gladstone , as t
under Rosebery , the Liberals were impotent - a
potent to overcome the inertia of exIsting - t
Isting c6nditions. A Conservative Par-
aiament , if it were to assume a reactionary -
tionary policy , may accomplish more h
for real Liberalism in England than to
c
has the Liberal party as it has been t
constituted of late years. b

The Floats in Parade. 1
Regarding the parade of floats at
Omaha on the occasion of the State
fair the committee desires that every
county in the state be represented. A
circular has been issued , from which
the following has been taken :
To raise the standard of these floats
this association offers a cash premium i
for two of the best productions. First
prize $75 , second prize S50. Douglas Ii
county floats will not compete with f
other counties in the state for prizes
offered. I
We will furnish horses to draw the
floats while on the streets in the par
ade We suggest that these floats be of
built on running gear and loaded on r
cars and brought to Omaha ready to
enter the parade. The maximum
height of any float must not exceed d
fifteen feet , so as to admit passing under -
der trolley wires. t
The parade will pass through the i
principal streets of the metropolis of i
Nebraska ; one-quarter million people g
trill witness the passing pageantry. a
fireworks and electric displays will d
ight and beautify the line of march , t
bands will discourse excellent music. ti
co such display will ever have been ;
presented west of St. Louis or Chicago ,
and we appeal to your citizens to join
us in making this the proudest day of

FOREIGN WOMEN VICTIMS.
Grave'Fears Felt at the headquarters of
the Foreign Board of Methodist MIs-
sionarles in New York City-It Is
Feared That American Women -
en Are Among Those
That Were Killed.
SHANGHAI , Aug. 5.- Advices from
Fee Chow are that a telegram received
there declares that a massacre of
Christians has occurred at Ku Cheng.
Five foreign women are among the
victims.
NEW YORK , Aug : 5.-The telegram
telling of the massacre of Christians ,
including five women , at Ku Cheng ,
excited the gravest fears at the headquarters -
quarters of the foreign board of
Methodist missions in this city
to-day. The Methodists have a
mission at Ku Cheng. It is in charge
of Miss Mabel C. Hartford. Her assistant -
sistant is Miss W. M. Rouse. In addition -
dition to these it is feared that two
other women , Miss Mabel Allen and
Miss Sarahi Peters are also in tit e vicinity -
cinity of Ku Cheng.
Corresponding Secretary A. B. Leonard -
ard of the Methodist board of missions ,
who has spent considerable time in
China , said to-day : 'In view of the
fact that we have received no cable-
grain from China , we can only hope
for the present that our people are
safe and well. Had any of our people
been massacred I am sure that the
Rev. 'Y. II. Lairy , our representative
and treasurer at Fee Chow , from
which place the advises were received ,
would have cabled to us without de-
lay. We will not communicate with
Mr. Lairy until we receive information
of the alleged massacre from him.
Miss Hartford is a resident of
Dover , N. H. , and has spent several
years as a missionary in China. She
was some time ago put in charge of
the women's work at Ku Cheng. Miss
Rouse , her assistant , came from Lakefield -
field , Minn.
The Rev. Jacob Gilleson , secretary
of the board of missions of the Presbyterian -
byterian church , said today that his
board had no missionaries within 250
miles of Ku Cheng. He expressed the
opinion that the massacre affected
most seriously the church missionary
society of England , which established
a mission at Ku Cheng in 1847. The }
mission is attached to the church of
England anti has two houses there.
The society maintains twenty-two
schools in the province. There is also
a small church for lepers in the leper s
Tillage just outside of the south gate
of the Methodist Episcopal compound.
The Rev. E , E. Chivers , secretary of
the Baptist board of foreign missions ,
said that the Baptists have no missionaries -
aries nearer the scene of the alleged
massacre than Se Chiang , which is 600 r
miles distant. Other missionaries are t
ocated at Chi King , which is about i
200 miles from Pat Cheng. c
Washington Reports. t
WASIIINGTON , Aug. 5.-The state department - Y.
partment has received a cablegram
from United States Consul Jernigan ,
at Shanghai , stating that one Amer-
can female missionary was wounded '
and four British female missionaries r
lled at the mission of Ku Cheng. No c
urther details are given in the disd
patch. The place is in the province of 21
Iogpe , far up on the banks of the s
fang Tse river , beyond the reach of t
men-of-tvar , and about 400 miles north h
Cheng Tu , where the last missionary g
iots occurred. The state department
will ttate steps in the matter at once.
Under instructions from the state
epartment , United States Minister
Denby is now engaged in investigating t'
he damages sustained by the Amer- ' '
can missions at Cheng Tu , China , dur-
ng the rioting there. The Chinese g
overntnent has already given assurt
noes that it will pay a suitable inti

' A SUSPICIOUS LETTER ,
Sheriff Stiuiley Receives Ono In Regard
to the Taylor Brothers.
CARROLLTON , Mo. , Aug. 5.-Sheriff
Stanley- received a letter this morning.
The envelope was postmarked St.
Joseph , and was indorsed "In behalf
of the Taylor boys. " It was as follows -
lows :
"We , the undersigned , do solemnly
swear that the Taylor brothers arc
not the murderers of the Meeks family ,
as the majority of the people think , '
but the men who committed the deed
are as follows : Verney Taylor , Bill
White , Enos Williams , Torn Williams.
We heard that the Taylors had given
$1,000 to Gus and we took this method
of getting the money. By throwing
them in George Taylors hay stack ,
all the suspicion would be thrown
on him , thinking he could
clear himself. We have been
wanted for murders , robbery and a
number- other crimes , but have never -
er been caught. We are now on our
road to New Mexico and , if you can
catch us , you may have us. You will
hang two innocent men. We have no
relatives , and if we come to the gallows -
lows it won't be as bad as if the Taylors
do , for they are innocent. Hoping
that you will not hang the innocent
brothers for that crime we bid you
adieu. "
It is regarded as a rank fake sent
out by some of the friends of the
'Taylors to start a search and feeling
in their favor. Neither Prosecutor
Bresnehen nor Sheriff Barton ever
heard of Verney Taylor or the Will-
iamses or White.

from a severe toothache.

Ohio , Breaks Up a Church.
CINCINNATI , Ohio , Arig1.-A few
days ago Miss Ida Coleman , daughter
of the richest man in Warren county ,
and organist of the Methodist church I
at Mason , bought a wheel. Then she
appeared at the base ball park in red
bloomers. The pastor , the Rev. J. J.
Wadsworth , smiled at her , but others
derided her. Saturday night acorn-
mittee waited on the minister and commanded -
manded him to denounce bloomers the
following o day. Sunday Mr. Wads-
worth did not refer to Miss Coleman , 1
bicycle or bloomers. That night ho
was told that he either had to denounce -
nounce Miss Coleman's riding habit or
resign. He was given until last night '
to do so.
Last night a prayer meeting was ph
h eld. Parson 1i'ndsworth was lu the 1
pulpit. The benches and aisles were >
- "
crowded. Miss Coleman waited until '
the audience became restless for music.
Then she strode downthe.uisle dressed
in bloomers as red as the sun and took t
her scat at the organ. Some familiar ' r'I
(
tunes were sung and played , but before - '
fore the minister could begin to pray
his audience , or at least the mostof it ,
had dispersed. As they were leaving ?
the buiiding they were hissed. After- !
ward Parson Wadsworth and Miss 1 r ti '
Coleman's friends continued the ser

The governor says time Indians no
doubt are Utes from Duchesne , who
are hanging around in the hope that '
there will be a big fight with the Ban- 1
nooks which will give them an oppor- ( I
trinity to make an attack upon these ! ,
settlers and get back to their reservation -
tion before the trcops could interfere i
with them. !

watomies were on the Warpath.
TorE1cA , ICan. , Aug 1-The Indian j
troubles on the Pottatvatomle reserva-
tion were not so serious as indicated I
by the press dispatches from here. The
governor was not asked for troops , and 1 i
there is not time slightest danger of an
outbreak of any description. Indeed'I I '
it is the impression } tore that some one 1
imposed on the reporters. i
