Lg"s Summit, Mo.. Oct. 23.—The re

were interred ip |he family lot in the
little cemetery near town today. A
brief, simple service was held at the
home of N. S. Fenton, where yester
day crowds of people had passed by
to view the coffin. The house was
crowded and many were unable to get
in. Mrs. Fenton, a niece of the
Younger boys, led a quartet, wiio sang
“Rest, Weary Heart.” Rev. S. H.
Shiffler, of the Presbyterian church,
followed in prayer, speaking a few
appropriate words.
The pallbearers w-ere old associates
of the Youngers, members of the
Quantrell’s band, and among the
mourners were several who had
• fought with Quantrell, Price and Shel
by. These, with the relatives and a
long line of people from the surround
ing country, made up the cortege -jo

lowered into the grave beside those
of Younger’s brother and mother. No
services were said, and when the grave
had finally been covered over, a great
quantity of flowers sent by friends
from near and far were piled on top in
a great mound.

Balfour Would Widen Breach.
New York, Oct. 23.—Preinler Bal
four’s superior fllnesse is revealed in
every fresh bout with Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman over the appoint,
ment of a day for the discussion of
Iridh finances and the moving of a
rote of censure, declares the London
correspondent of The Tribune. Lord
Rosebery, standing outside the taber

rule godis. It is believed Mr. Balfour
wishes to identify Sir Henry with the
fortunes of the Irish party and there-
widen the breach between the lib
eral factions.

NOVEL LIFE SAVING DEVICE.
Suocscsful Experiments Are Made In
the English Channel.
New York., Oct. 23.—A demonstra
tion of the efficiency of a novel life
saving invention has taken place in
the English channel, cables the Lou
don connerepondent of The Herald.
About 4 miles off Folkestone, a tug
sighted a stienge object in the water.
Upon coming nearer it was found to
be a large globe. From a manhole
on the top a man’s head projected.
The tug went alongside and two men
emerged from the globe. They prov
ed to be the inventor and his assistant,
both Norwegians. According to their
story, the globe, which is composed
of aluminum, was put overboard from
a steamer off Havre Tuesday and since
that time it has been knocking about
the channel with its two occupants.
The Inventor claims that it satisfied
all requirements and explanations and
demonstrated in Its service its ability
of saving lives at sea.
The tug towed the curious craft to
Dover, where it attracted much atten
tion.
It is about 8 feet in diameter. An
air shaft is provided, and it is also fit
ted with a water pump, sail and rui-
der. Its capacity is claimed to be
sufficient for 16 persons, together with
850 pounds of food and 1,100 pounds
of water.

LASH APPLIED TO NEGRO.
Mob of Blacks Punish Criminal at An-
derson, S. C.
Columbia, S. C., Oct. 23.—A strange
negro was stripped to his waist, tied
to a tree and whipped with buggy
traces until the skin was broken in a
hundred places by a mob of blacks M
Anderson, S. C., yesterday.
He tramped into the town in the af
ternoon and attempted to assault one
of his race. She screamed and the
man fled across the river into Green
ville. A mob of negroes followed,
captured him and brought him back,
and on a promise not to lynch him the
white people permitted them to admin
ister the punishment.
Armed with buggy traces, they fair
ly flayed him, being encouraged by the
women present, who at times admin
istered a few lashps. After the se
vere punishment of the lash had been
Inflicted to the entire satisfaction of
all present, the negro was released
and soon disappeared.
EVACUATION OF SHANGHAI.
Agreement Concluded Between France,
Germany and Great Britain.
Paris, Oct. 23.—From authoritative
sources the correspondent of the As-
aociated Press has learned that France,
Groat Britain and Germany have con-
chidod an agreement providing for
the military evacuation of Shanghai
by their forces.
The negotiations have also brought
about an Important extension of the
open-door policy, as urged by Secre
tary Hay. The agreement affects not
only Shanghai, but the entire Yang
Tse Kiang valley, which the powers
are seeking to develop for commercial
purposes.
The date of the evacuation Is still
open, but a leading official of the for
eign office expressed the belief that
it will undoubtedly be accomplished
by Jan. 1. About 1,200 troops will
participate in the evacuation.
AN UNQUIET SPIRIT.
Tbr Mynterlona Llirht That For Yean
ilauiited Cape Molr.
For many years on Cape Nolr, the
western point of Maria, a strange
light was seen, dancing and moving
about in the most unaccountable man
ner. At one moment It would rise like
a column of fire into the air, and at an
other time it would fail like a meteor.
Then it would seem to leap over tbs
point and drop into the sea, afterward
appearing again in the same spot on
the hillside. The habitants tell this
story about It:
In the time of the war for the pos
session of Canada a French vessel,
pursued by an English warship,
steered Its course into the bay at this
point for refuge. A boat was lowered
from the side of the richly laden mer
chantman, and in this thirteen men
swiftly rowed to the shore. Their ob
ject was to secrete a chest of gold
which they had brought with them. On
reaching the point they drew lots to
see which of the men should remain
to guard the treasure. The one to
whom the lot fell was forced to swear
a solemn oath, bj land and sea, by
night and day, by the ruler of the
nether world, that he would be faithful
to the trust through life, unless re
lieved by his returning comrades, and
even after death would haunt the spot
should no one come to take bis place,
says a writer in the Era. --v* •
To secure the fulfillment of this vow
his wicked associates then and there
put him to death and buried him with
the treasure. The ghostly light was
supposed to be the spirit of the mur
dered man, and many persons who,
tempted by the hope of recovering the
treasure, ventured into the haunted
spot fled in terror and told blood
curdling stories of the horrible phan
toms and frightful sights which they
had witnessed. The light is seen no
longer. Perhaps some adventurer
bolder than the rest succeeded in dis
covering the gold, carried it off and
thus gave rest to the unquiet spirit
The German Wife’s Vacation.
It is a common practice in Berlin for
the wife to stay at home when the hus
band and family go to the seaside. In
this way the wife enjoys her own holi
day, for there is no housekeeping to be
done. She foregathers with friends—
“grass widows,” like herself—and they
take their meals at restaurants, spend
their afternoons and evenings at popu
lar places of entertainment and thor
oughly enjoy themselves.—London Ex
press.
Yes, Indeed!
When a man gets tired out and ill,
he goes fishing, returning shortly with
three wall eyed pike, restored health
and a blister on bis nose. When a wo
man feels that way, she hangs around
the house and cries If anybody looks
at her. It must be lovely to be a
man.—Chicago Record-Herald.
Wonderful.
He—She holds her age well, doesn’t
she?
She—Yes. She doesn’t look a day
older than she says she is.—Philadel
phia Record.
