English and American Residents
of Shanghai Demand That City
of Pekin Be Destroyed.
Copyright Associated Press dis
patches annesnneing that the American
government 'refuses to agree to the
withdrawal! -df the troops from Pekin
before satisfaction for the outrages
upon and The losses c fi its subjects is
given have been received in Shanghai
and are pplauded by the entire for
eign edlony in Shanghai, Any other
policy, according to the business men
and missionaries with whom the Asso
ciated Tress representative has talked
will fatal blow to the prestige of
the foreigners and would weaken their
status in China.
The local English papers fiercely
denounce the proposals to evacuate
Pekin and say that the Chinese inter
pret evacuation as defeat. The masses
of Chinamen now believe that the Chi
nese arms are victorions. The Chinese
papers printed in Shanghai contain
long, circumstantial accounts of alleged
Chinese victories at Tien Tsin and
Lnng'Chao Si and the shops and na
tive quarter display for sale lurid pho
tographs of the celestial army driving
the European soldiers into the sea at
Taku and tearing them to pieees at
Tien Tsin.
They also show pictures of the for
eign admirals being tortured in the
presence of the viceroys. Vice Ad
miral Seymour is represented,with his
arms pinioned kneeling before the
throue. The people accept these re
ports and pictures as correctly repre
senting the facts and anything contra
ry was merely foreign lies.
The European community continues
to demand the destruction of Pekin
and the exemplary punishment of the
officials, and deeming indemnity and
paper promises of new treaties inade
quate. Undoubtedly the massacre of
foreigners recently received inflames
this sentiment. The dowager empress
is living in the Yamen atTai Yuan Fu,
in Shan Si province. Fifty mission
aries have been slaughtered in that
yamen under orders, practically in the
presence of the viceroy. Three were
beheaded in the inner court and others
were killed barbarously in the yards.
The bodies were thrown to the dogs.
The Associated Press representa
tives learn from official sources the
fact of the killing of several American
women missionaries.
At the request of the mission board
the details were withheld out of re
gard for the feelings of the relatives
of the murdered women; but o her
prominent Americans who have long
antagonized the policy of sending wo
men to isolated inland posts, think it
important that the facts should be
known. The names of the victims are
withheld by request. Two of these
women were captured while attempt
ing to leave the stations where they
were located, were led about the coun
try naked, repeatedly outraged and
finally killed by a method too revolt
ing to be described.
Two other American women were
coming to the coast with a party which
a number of Chinamen followed and
stoned. The women fell exhausted
and were taken by the Chinamen into
the presence of the local officials.
They were prostrated upon the execu
tion block and a feint was made of her
being beheaded. One of them became
hysterical and laughed, and, thinking
her insane, the Chinese escorted their
to the coast because of their supersti
tion regarding the insane. On the
journey, however, the woman was re
peatedly criminally assaulted by h£r
escort The other woman being ex
hibited naked for some days suffering
Assault by several men and was tortur
to death by the same shameful
method* as were practiced in other
cases.
I'wo Swedish missionary women ar
rived at Shanghai after similar expe
riences, except that their lives were
"Pared. The fourteen English mis
sionaries, including six women and
four children who were murdered at
°hu Chau, in the province of Che
Kiang, according to the story of the
Spanish priest who escaped, were
killed with hay forks and ancient
"pears by the magistrate’s body guard,
*°d their naked bodies were hanged
from trees.
1 he incidents make a lenient policy
nn P°pular in Shanghai where all the
victims had friends. Placards posted
ln public places exhorting foreigners
to oppose a compromise with the gov
ernment.

this letter in her mail the other
day:
“Last summer my hair was thin and
short .and was falling ont profusely. I then
began using Ayer's Hair Vigor, and two
bottles of it gave me beautiful and glossy
hair. My hair is now over a yard long,
and my friends all wonder what has made
it so thick and heavy.”
Now that the secret’s out
we suppose her friends will
stop wondering.

H Puffs under the eyes; red nose; pimple"
blotched, greasy face don’t mean hard drink
ing always as much as it shows that there is
BILE IN THE BLOOD. It is true, drink
ing and over-eating overloads the stomach,
but failure to assist nature in regularly dis
posing of the partially digested lumps of food
that are dumped into the bowels and allowed
to rot there, is what causes all the trouble.
CASCARETS will help nature help you, and
will keep the system from filling with poisons,
will clean out the sores that tell of the sys
tem’s rottenness. Bloated by bile the figure
becomes unshapely, the breath foul, eyes and
skin yellow; in fact the whole body kind of
fills up with filth. Every time you neglect to
help nature you lay the foundation for just
such troubles. CASCARETS will carry the
poisons out of the system and will regulate
you naturally and easily and without gripe or pain. Start to-night —one tablet —keep it up for
a week and help the liver clean up the bowels, and you will feel right, your blood will be rich,
face look clean, eyes bright. Get a JOc box of CASCARETS f take as directed. If you are not
cured or satisfied you get your money back. Bile bloat is quickly and permanently
