It seems strange that with all the
boasted ‘'scientific achievements of
the age" man Is still at the mercy of
some of nature’s most petty creatures.
Take so small a thing as a mosquito.
The greatest philosopher that has ever
lived has not been able to frown down
this Insect, and no Invention of science
has deprived It of Its sting. Country
life Is robbed of half Its Joy by this
pest, and suburbanites over winter
fires tell hideous tales of devastation
and woe that It has caused.
Satisfaction must be expressed at
the present activity of the hostorlcal
societies In the middle west. They
realise that the earlier the work of col-
lecting and preserving the early rec-
ords of the states Is begun the better
U will be done, and that each year It
la postponed valuable material Is H»st.
The Oerman-Amerlcan Historical so-
ciety of Illinois will appreciate this In
the work It la about to undertake In
the collection of Information relative
to early eettlera of German ancestry.
The data which It has decided to
gather wll( throw an Interesting light
upon these sturdy pioneers who did so
much to build up the middle west.
An Investigation of the watershed of
Rock River, III., will soon be made by
the Division of Forestry of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture to determine the
csuae of the diminution of the volume
of that stream. This Is supposed to
be due to the denudation of the foreets
along the head watera of the river and
to exceaalve artificial drainage tor
commercial and agricultural purpoees.
The decreaae In the volume of the wa-
ter has become alarming, and In re-
sponse to the agitation of cltlsens of
that locality Representative Hitt ap-
plied to the Secretary of Agriculture
for an tnveatlgatlon. 0. F. Schwarts,
Said assistant of the Division of For-
estry, will visit Illinois to Investigate.
A writer In the Revue Socialists as-
serts that the chief bar to woman's
advancement la her lack of will. ‘The
statement Is mads that a woman
spends all of her life yielding to the
wishes of some man. When a child
she la forced to make sacrifices for the
benefit of her brothers, and she learns
to wait on them and coucede eveiy
point to the masculine usurper. She
it Is ‘who nurses thd sick man and
humors his uncertain moods. This Is
good training tor wifehood, and as
fwlfe she learns that she has married
her husband's family and must defer
to all ol the relatives she has acquited.
Her husband expects obedience, and
ahe must wear a smiling face when
she Is In pain, and must always suit
herself to his humors.
The 8outh African war Is now lit Its
final tfage, and there Is no doubt
about the outcome. It the Boers were
still to meet with occasional successes,
like the capture of Bethune's troopers,
their ultimate surrender would be
none the less inevitable. Continued
fighting does not serve their great and
noble cause, which Is lost already, but
•Imply prolongs a period of unneces-
sary, unavailing bloodshed. Many of
their foreign sympathisers who feel
for them In the bitter defeat of their
hopes muat deprecate this costly,
fruitless struggle, and there have been
rumors that the Boers themselves
have begun to question Its wisdom.
No one will, however, question Its
Jugtnsaa. There are thoae among
them who would sue for peace, evon
though Kruger has declared with char-
acteristic obstinacy that his people
will resist until they are destroyed.

hours of weary waiting for the finish-
ing touches to the naval appropriation

Uncle Joe Caunon for the new con-
ferees reported to the house that he
had failed to convert the senate con-
ferees to the house’s way of thinking
with regard to the hydrographic sur-
vey. #He offered another plan, which
the old conferees Jumped on with
both feet Owing to the departure of
many members who hud voted with
Uncle Joe lust night and the flopping
of many members who were anxious
to get away, the old man found him-
self In the soup, uud there was noth-
ing left but to watch the house hc-
cept the senate plan and dispose of the
bill, which was done with little delay
beyond u roll call.
Later on the senate reported the
adoptlou of the adjournment resolu-
tion, amended to tuke ellect at 3
o’clock and the house hud another lit-
tle tilt on Mr. Butler’s motion to dis-
agree with senate’s amendment until

cull on this and succeeded In proving
that the republicans were not anxious
to get any uiitl-trust legislation on

In the attitude of wuntlng to stay un-
til the bill wus passed, but as nearly
a hundred of them had already gone
home tjie republicans were strong
enough, with some eighty members,
to defeat Hulzer’s motion.
The usuul recess before adjourn-
ment gave members time to congrc
gate and slug patriotic and religious
songs and some popular ballads. In
which the galleries Jollied. The ren-
dition of “Dixie” by the Southern con-
tlngeut was oue of the features of tile
musical recital, mid brought out great
waves of cheering, mingled with the
old confederate yell. At 5 o'clock the
speaker declared the session ad-

Green Bay, Wli, June B—Some In-
dian children on the Oneida reserva-
tion, near Btockbridge, saw their
mother hack off the head of a chicken
yeaterday. This suggested a now game
to their childish minds, the play re-
sulting In the death of nine persons.
Yesterday morning a woman went out
Into the yard of her home where her
children were playing, caught a chick-
en with which she wished to prepare
a meal, got a hatchet and chopped off
Its head. Then she returned to the
house, leaving the bloodstained
hatchet on the ground. One of the
children suggested that they play
chleken, and the suggestion was car-
ried out. One of the smaller children
was selected to act the part of the
chicken. The child-was thrown to
the ground by its playmates and ills
head placed on a block of wood and
hacked off. A number of men were
engaged on a derrick In the yard rais-
ing heavy timbers in the erection of a
barn. As soon us the uieu above no-
ticed tbe child being beheaded they
became panic-stricken, and In the con-
fusion the lieuvy timbers which were
being raised fell with a crush, killing
eight men.

London, June 8.—Telegiuphlug from
Tien Tain under date of June 0, a cor-
respondent says: “I left Tieu Tsin
this morning en route for Pekin, ac-
companied by General Nleli, supposed
to be one of the best Chinese generals,
with sixty troops'. We proceeded to
Lofu, a distance of thirty-one miles.
We found the plat layers’ cabins in
flames, telegraph poles cut and men
engaged in destroying others in the vil-
lage. Near the railway tings were
seen bearing the inscription, “Kill all
foreigners.’ I saw smoke, evidently
from burning houses, in the distunce,
but General Nleli refused to proceed
further, being In uiortul fear of the
Boxers, though the foreigners endeav-
ored to persuade him to dlscntrain the
troops, who were firmly convinced tout
it wns useless to fight the Boxers,
as other Chinese suy they have seen
the Boxers hit with bullets mid then
rise and run away.”
London, June 9.—Dispatches from
the far east show apparently no cos
aatlon In the activity of the boxers,
but the powers are gradually feeling
their way to common action for the
oppression of the disorders. It Is be-
lieved that when tbe dowager empress
realizes the firm Intention to check
her connivance in the autl-forelgn
movement there will be a speedy end
to the rioting, and If the Chinese aet-
ed In good faith they could easily
quell the rabble, which Is armed chief-
ly with spears, agricultural imple-
ments, a few swords aqd some old
rifles. A dispatch from 'lieu Tsui,
i dated Thursday, Juno 7, shows the
British reinforcements had not been
started for Pekin, us expected, owing
to the refusal of the authorities to al-
low them to entrain although the Brit-
ish offered to repair the line as they
went. Additional Russian and Aus-
trian troops have arrived at Tien
Tsin, and the German cruisers Hansa
and Gallon have started from Kion
Chou for Taku with marine Intended
for the same destination.
Kruger shIIm.
London, June 8.—The Birmingham
Post, the organ of Joseph Chmberlaln,
says It hears from official sources at
The Hague t lint a serious question,
covering President Kruger, is now tie-
fore tlie Netherlands ministry. The
paper adds that the president, up to
last Friday, had decided to seek refuge
on board the Dutch cruiser Friesland,
nuw off Lorenzo Marquez, and asserts:
"There Is beyoffd doubt good reason
to believe that instructions en file sub-
ject have been cabled the conimuuder
of the warship.”

Tien Tsin, Juiiu 9.—It is reported
from Chinese official sources that 4900
boxers surrounded 1590 Chinese troops
between Lofa and Yong Tsuu yester-
duy, and, according to the latest news,
lighting is still going on. Olliclals say
that 500 boxers wore killed, but give
no account o'* the Chinese casualties.
Thirty of General Nieh’s troops en-
countered a body of boxers three miles
from here on the Tako roal and killed
twenty-one of them. No news has
been received from I’ao Ting Fu for
three days, and the situation there is
believed to be critical. It Is reported
that tho Chinese troops have been de-
feated near there. The French cruts

Washington, June 9.—The following
cablegram was received at the navy
department yesterday morning from
Admiral Kempff, on boarl the New-
ark, off the Taku forts:
“Touk Ku, June 8.—Battle yester-
day between Chinese and boxers near
Tien Tsin. Large number of boxers
expected to reach Tieu Tsin today.
"Kempff. ’
Minister Conger, at Pekin, has also
been heard from. His message to the
state department said there was no
Improvement In the situation, and
asked for Instructions. It was not
deemed proisir by the officials to in-
dicate u|k>ii Just wlmt point Mr. Con-
ger needs advice, but there is an In-
timation that he wishes to know to
what extent he is to co-operate with
the diplomatic* representat Ives of tlw
European powers nt Pekin. Secretaiy
Huy took the message to the cubluet
meeting, where the answer will be
framed. The state department is
steadfastly pursuing the line of policy
laid down nt the beginning of this
boxer trouble of avoiding any inter-
ference with Chinese Internal affairs
beyond such measures as may be ab-
solutely necessary for the protection
of llfp and property. Especially is ir
determined to avoid commitment to
the policies of any of the European
powers which might involve the
United States in trouble. Therefore,
notwithstanding the ominous news
conveyed in Admiral Kempff's tele-
gram, it scorns entirely probable ilia l
Minister Conger will tie directed to
stick to tbe same line of policy which
he has pursued up to this time.

The mule began to buck and threw the
lad to the ground. In a fit of sudden
irritation tho father kloked at the aule
and one of bis feet caught in a trace
chain, the ring end of which had been
hooked over the top of a hame. The
mule broke Into a run for the stable,
a quarter of a mile away, dragging
the helpless farmer over the rough
ground and dashing him against
stumps and roots In tho newly cleared
land. On reachlhg the barn an effort
was made to hold tha mule until the
man could, bo freed from his horrible
plight, but the f can tic animal dashed
away again and finished the horrible
work of death. When picked up Mr.
Boenker was unconscious and never
spoke after the accident, dying about
3 o’clock Friday morning without re-
gaining consclouness. Doctors who at-
tended him declare that his back and
almost entire body were stripped clear
of skin, but that they found no wounds
that were calculated to prove fatal.

El Paso, Texas June 9.—Colonel Man
uel Gil, on the staff of General Torres,
commanding the engineering corps in
tho field against the Yaqui Indians In
Sonora, with the forces, arrived In the
city en route to tho oity of Mexico.
Colonel Gil says the Yaquls are still
giving the Mexican troops much troub-
le and have resorted to scouting, which
makes the task of capturing them much
greater. He says there are 5000 Mexi-
can soilders in Sonora and none of the
troops will be relieved soon. The
Yaquis are armed with all kinds of
guns, but very few good ones. “Almost
every day,” said he, “we encounter
small bands of Indians from twenty
to thirty men, and firing a few shots
they escape into the mountains. I do
not know how many Yaquis are under
arms, but there can out be a large num-
ber, or they would offer more resist-
ance. My government la having the

had for years In the northwest. There
