the arrival of 400 Cossacks who seized
houses and prepared to camp for the

"The Koreans were in a panic and
fleeing from their homes by scorch
The Cossacks went on in the morning
and were followed by an equal- num
ber during the day. The chair coolies
arrived on Sunday morning, bearing
urgent messages from missionaries in
Ping Yang After consultation a nar

main road was selected as a possible
route. Christian coolies were finally
secured after much effort and on Mon

professional coolies one horse and f

New York. May 23.—Persistent ru
more of unrest among the native
tribes have been rife for some time,
according to a Times dispatch from
Johannesburg. South Africa. “Un

Mrs. Frank Chiasson, Patterson, La.,
writes June Bth. 1901: “I had malaria
fever in very bad form, was under
treatment by doctors, but as soon as
I stopped taking their medicine the
fever would return. I used a sample
bottle of Herblne, found It helped me.
Then bought two bottles, which com
pletely cured me. I feel grateful to
you for furnishing such a splendid
medicine, and can honestly recom

: CMiigo. May 23.—ThriV- ere too
many negroes in Chicago, accprdmg
to ini' Ret “R. D. Stinson, dhanedtior
of the Morris Brown college, Atlanta,
Ga , who made an address at the In
stitutional African Methodist Episco
pal church. His subject was “Practi
cal Education for the Masses, the Re
deeming Feature of the Race."
"There are 35.000 negro men and
women In Chicago today who ought to
be started down south at once,” said
Dr. Stinson. “Fifteen years ago I
could get plenty of money here for
the education of the southern negroes,
but when the green, unsubstantial,
ignorant herd of brutes from the
south came yeljfjng up to Chicago
where they have free bars, free
street cars, free hotels, where they
can go where they please and talk as
they please, things nearly were turned
tipside down. These southern ne
groes are not able to meet conditions
here. They are ignorant and they
are deceived. The best negroes stay
in the south, but Instead of telling
these poor people the truth, you In
Chicago urge them to oome where
they can vote.
“I would urge the practical and sym
tematlc education of all the faculties
of the heart, the mind, and the head.

BRYAN’S IDEALS.
He Hits the Great Navies of the
World a Sidewinder.
Chicago. May 23.—William J. Bryan
has addressed the Hull House Worn
en's club on “The Value' of Ideals."
“An ideal" he said, "measures the
difference between success and fail
ure. between a noble life and a wasted
existence." Everyone, he said, should
have an ideal so high as to keep one
constantly pushing forward. An Ideal
so high as to keep one constantly
looking up and far enough In advance
to keep one constantly pushing for
ward. An ideal that could be over
taken. ho declared, was a small ideal.
Political parties, according to Mr.
Bryan, should strive for the highest
Ideals rather than for temporary vic
tory at the polls. America, he said,
had followed an Ideal that had taught
men to protect their rights: it should
labor to achieve an Ideal that would
teach the nations of the world to re
spect the rights of others. A great
navy was denounced as a tax upon
the people, an incentive to all the
nations to excel in battle equipment
beyond all limit.
A MORMON ADVERTISEMENT
This 1s What the Smoot Investigation
Turns Out to Be.
Chicago. May 23.—The Reed Smoot
inquiry has been branded as a "Mor
mon trick" by Jolin Merrit Driver,
speaking in the People's church nil
pit. According to Dr. Driver, the

the senate, their object being to gain
a publictiy that would bring their
doctrines before the people.
"The wiles of the Mormons arc
many and far-reaching." sai l Dr. Dri
ver. "Tlie Smoot case was only a
ruse. President Smith was not a re
luctant witness. His testimony was
along carefully considered and pre
determined lines With the Mormons
it was n campaign of education and
familiarization."
