When the premises were more closely inspected the body of Mrs. Lakeman was discovered in the sleeping room. All the others were found in the cellar, where they had been locked. There Is every evidence that the woman was murdered previous to setting the house on fire, as her skull was crushed.

CHINA'S BOYCOTT JUSTIFIED. Dr. Arthur Smith Thinks U. S. Should Cultivate Good Will. "If the United States fails to take steps soon to ameliorate the conditions existing between China and this nation, it is doubtful if the Chinese boycott against American products will ever end and it is probable all trade with China will be lost." This was the discouraging prophecy made by Dr. Arthur Smith of Shantung, China, a member of the American board of missions, who passed through Chicago on his way to New York. 'The Chinese have a great deal to complain of against the United States government," he declared. "The treatment of the Chinese who come to this country has given them legitimate cause to establish the boycott and I am sure the Americans in China all have deep regard for the Celestials in their fight for greater commercial power. Their pride has been hurt by the unfair exclusion laws of the United States, and it is probable the relations between the two countries never will be as friendly as they ought to be, no matter what may be the outcome of the boycott. We in China can't help but sympathize with the Chinese In their efforts to assert their great power. Since the Japanese have accomplished so much in their fight against Russia a distinct change has come over China. Its people have been awakened to the realization of their power and this power they intend to assert. Amrica has made a great mistake in failing to come to better terms with the vast nation across the Pacific." STATE FUNDS ARE MISSING. Shortage of $78,000 Pound in Kansas Treasury, Says Governor.

The report covers all transactions made by the State Treasurers from Jan. 1. 1S9S, to June 30. 1905, including the two full terms of former State Treasurer Frank Grimes and one term and six months of the administration of Thomas T. Kelly, the present State Treasurer. UNCLE SAM IS ROBBED. Postoffice at Dunning, 111., Entered and Safe Blown Open. Robbers entered the postoffice at Dunning, 111., blew open the safe and stole a quantity of cash and stands. Although the explosion was heard for some distance, and the robbers were followed by an unarmed policeman from the Dunning almshouse, the outlaws made their escape. Lawrence E. Taylor, in charge of the postoffice, was notified of the robbery by a policeman, and together they searched for and found two of the men, but being unarmed they were unable to effect a capture, and the robbers escaped.

FRENCH ELECT FALLIERE3.

Chosen President of Republic to Succeed Loubet. Clement Armand Fnllieres has been elected President of France to succeed M. Loubet. The national assembly met Wednesday afternoon in the congress hall of the royal palace at Versailles and gave Fallicres 449 votes to 371 for M. Doumer, his principal opponent, on the first ballot. The assembly consists nominally of 501 deputies and 300 senators, but owing to deaths, illness and the passago of some of the deputies to the senate, leaving their seats vacant, the number present was decreased to 817, making 408 votes necessary to elect a President. The deepest interest was manifested in the proceedings, however, which were greatly prolonged. The members of the assembly voted in alphabetical order. Those awaiting their turn discussed excitedly the prospects of their favorites. Fallieres had the general support of the advanced socialist and radical groups, constituting the famous party which sustained the Combes miiiistry. M. Doumer, , however, was a formidable opponent, whose election to hc presidency of the chamber of depnties last year after breaking away from his former connection with the famous party previously referred to gave the first blow to M. Combes. The old liberal republicans, belonging to the center, and the conservatives, who then voted for M. Doumer, were inclined to continue their allegiance. M. Fallieres, who has been president of the senate, is a scholar, a jurist, a debater of fine talents, a man of c.-asy manners and a stern Republican. The French aristocracy holds him in high esteem. For twenty-five years M. Fallieres has been prominent in French politics. He hag held the post at the head of the senate for several terms. He also has been premier and has held cabinet positions under various governments. M. Fallieres is the son of a magistrate's clerk and is the grandson of a blacksmith whose forge and cottage, until a short time ago, stood against one of the walls of the cathedral at Mezin. Here it was that M. Fallieres was born, Nov. C, 1S41. 80 BOOKS AGAINST SMOOT. Xniiiet Anklne Mormon Senator Removal Fill Many Volume.

The question of polygamy was not raised. The eighty volumes are to be distributed among the Senators, and the protest they represent will be presented by Senator Burrows of Michigan. Then each Senator will present the signatures from his Stnte. The names of New York women fill seven volumes, of Pennsylvania six volumes, of Ohio four, of 'Iowa three, of Illinois three, and of other States from one to three.

Folowlng was the resolution: Resolved, That the President of the Senate be authorized to appoint a committee of five Senators to investigate the recent unfortunate incident at the White House resulting in the expulsion from the executive offices of Mrs. Minor Morris, and report to the Senate. Evidently in anticipation of a renewal of Wednesday's discussion, the galleries were crowded when the Vice President rapped the Senate to order. Interesting News Items.

Brockmann, a prominent wholesale merchant of Louisville, Ky., is dead as the result of drinking carbolic acid, supposedly with suicidal intent, after a severe illness from grip. President W. E. Corey attended a meeting of the heads of the .departments of the Carnegie Steel Company at Pittsburg. It was agreed to build two additional blast furnaces, ten open hearth f urnuces and to improve the plants at an aggregate cost of 7,000,000. Violent death was meted out to three persons in ' Toledo the other day. Dr. Henry Hathaway, prominent in the city's affairs, was killed by a train; Elmer V. Groves, a Lake Shore brakeman, was crushed between two cars, and an unidentified woman was found frozen to death in the baycu. Nearly every bank employe in Chester, Pa., has been notified to resign from any clubs to which he may belong or Beek other employment. This rule is the rult of the confession of J.
