Dr. I. radle), \Uu k I vom China, Teil? of 111* Work. Blshopvllle, August 18.?During; the heated term the regular union sevlces of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Bsptist churches have been held Sun? day evenings in the Woodward grove. Sunday night instead of the sermon. Dr. John W. Bradley gave a very in? teresting and inspiring account of the fine work and the happy results I of the missions of the Southern I Church In China. He said that the ' command of the Master, "Go ye into ! all the world and preach the Gospel," was obligatory upon us. It Is regret? table that there Is a prejudice in the minds of some against foreign mis* stons. Mission work was started 100 years ago. but It is only during twenty years that rapid strides have been made.' (He gave figures to verify these statements.) Conditions In foreign lands have changed wonderfully. China Is now open to foreigners; the people seem much more ready than ever before to receive the Gospel. They are looking forth in their Ideas. The prejudice against the missions has almost en? tirely vanished since the famine. They appreciate ever so highly the liberal assistance sent by Amtrlcsns at that terrible time. He said that the Southern Presby? terian mission covered about 14,000 people?1,000 of whom are Christians. Ths missionaries at Tu Chlen are Mr. Junk In and himself. The medical missionary In hea'ing the bodies of the nick removed much of the prejudices of the people, and leads them to trust the mlslonary and then to listen to the story of the Gos? pel. The Doctor started his work In a lit* tie room with a few trained Chinamen under him. and there performed hun? dreds of operations. He now owns a lot of about an acre, on which there are a few unsubstantial and badly equipped buildings. In these buildings, with the help of his students, he Is doing good work. Besides the cure they seek for. the patients are all told the story of the crom and healing balm for their souls. While Dr. Bradley Is In America the hospital is left under the charge of his ablest student, who has finished s course of study In medicines. Dr. Bradley makes an urgent appeal for aid to the people of America?to the members of the Southern Presby? terian Church; to the people of Blshopvtlle. He needs more ground, larger and better buildings. His work la hampered on all sides for wsnt of better appurtenances. A modem hos? pital with full equipment will cost $10.000. The !>eople of Blshopvllle and the surrounding country can easily raise thlb amount and erect the Blshopvllle Hospital in far-off China. And the good done will he multiplied many times, and numberless souls be brought to Jesus, and Blshopvllle will hsve her part In the great work thst Is be? ing done everywhere In heathen lands. The speaker made sn earnest call for some of the young men present to Join him In the work he Is doing snd to which hs has devoted his Ufa. Dr. Bradley will go to Baltimore and take a poet-graduate course in medicine, and he hopee, with the help of the Southern people to return to Chine, thoroughly prepared to carry out his cherished plan.

America's Anuiziiig Agricultural Ad? vance Bfl timore, August 12.?L'nder the heading "America's Amazing Agri? cultural Advance" the Manufacturers' Record In tomorrow's issue will say: The Increase In the value of farm property of $8,000,000,000 between 1900 and ltd Is nendly nine times as ( great as the aggregate national bank? ing capital of the United States. It is more than one-half as large as the to? tal capitalization, bonds and stock* in? cluded, of all the railroads in the United States. It is nearly three times as large as the aggregate sav? ings-bank deposits of the whole country. Think for a moment of the increase, simply seven years' incre* ment, in the value of farm property being nine times as gTeat as all the savings-bank deposits accumulated during all the past and half as large as the entire capitalization of all the railroads in the United States, into which the surplus money of the land has been pouring for over three-quar? ters of a century. In all the records of American de? velopment nothing Is more remarkable than the advance made during the last few years by the agricultural In? terests of this country. The story of what the farmers are doing and of what they have accomplished within the last few years is unmatched even by the marvelous growth In manufac? turing. In 1890 the 8,565,00 people engaged In agriculture in this country produced a total of $2,466,000,000, or an average of $287 per capita. In 1907 the 11,991.000 engaged In agri? culture produced a total of $7,412, 000,000, or an average of $618 per capita. During that period the num? ber of people engaged In agriculture Increased by 40 per cent., while the value of farm products Increased by 200 per cent, and the value of all farm property Increased by 89 per cent. In the brief period between 1900 and 1907 the value of farm property advanced in value from $20,439,000 000 to $28,077.000.000, a gain of near? ly $8,000,000,000, . or 37 per cent., though the number of people engaged In agricultural pursuits Increased on? ly IS per cent. A study of facts bearing upon agri? cultural conditions since 1870 shows that In that year the value of all agricultural products per capita to those engaged in farm pursuits was $326, while from that figure there was a rapid decline to $280 In 1880, and during the next ten years the per cap? ita was practically stationary, as the average in 1890 was only $287. If re? liable figures were available, they would show a marked decline be? tween 1890 and 1896, because It was during that period that the agricultu? ral interest reached their moat acute stage of poverty. In those years farm products, not only In the South, but throughout the country, were great? ly depressed, selling in many oases be? low the cost of the raising. Farm lands likewise steadily depreciated In value. By 1900, however, there had corre a great change, due to the ad? vance between 1897 and 1900, and In the latter year the value of farm products per capita was $461, a gsln of $164 per capita, or about 67 per cent, compared with 1890. Since 1900 this gain has continued uninterrupted? ly, raising In 1905 to $668 per capita, in 1906 to $579 and In 1907 to $618. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson esti? mates the total value of this year's farm products st $8,000,000,000, or a gain of about $600,009.000 over 1907. Accepting Mr. Wilson's figures as cor? rect, though we believe that they will prove to be to small, the per capita production will show another rapid advance this year. The effect of this really amazing change in agricultural conditions, finds sn illustration in the advance In the average value of farm property in the number of people engaged In agriculture. In 1880 the average per capita was $1579. By 1900 this had increased to $1958, or In 20 years an advance of $879 per capita to those engaged in agricultural pursuits. Be? tween 1900 and 1907 this increase continued at such a rapid rate as to bring the average up to $2341 In 1907, or a gain in seven years of $883 per capita, which was a large Inctease for that period than the gain in the 20 years from 1880 to 1900. The actual gain in the value of farm property since 1880 has been equal to an ave? rage of $762 for every man, woman and child engaged In agricultural pur? suits. These figures Is a gain, an Increment added to the wealth of our farmers, so amazing in Its magnitude as to be difficult of comprehension. No won? der the mass of farmers South and West are largely out of debt; no won? der much of the idle capital In the ccuntry banks of all sections In the surplus money of farmers. This re? markable advance In the average val? ue of production per capita and the increase In farm values has a number Of reasons for Its exlstance. In 1890 to 1900 the 'ncreasing pav eity of the farmers In all BSCttOOSi due to low pliCSSt was the subject of al? most universal discussion. Consumers ol farm products were then buying at a lower cost than they had ever known , before. But the producers, the far mers of the land, were In dire poverty. With the increase in manufacturing i during the last 10 years, and with the development of railroads and the lar?e increase in the number of their employes, making a great gain in the number <>f consumers of farm pro? duct*, and the gradual elimination of the cheap lands of the West by settle? ment, and the flood of gold pouring Into the world's channels of trade, we nave had a combination clrcui* stances which have united to bring about a much higher range or values. The consumer of farm products is no longer rejoicing In the low prices which prevailed 12 or 15 years ago. The farmer is now having his In? nings, and though the condition works a hardship upon many consumers, it is a great blessing to the country at large. It should be a matter of gen? eral rejoicing that the farmers are on rising around financially. Economic conditions practically as? sure a continuation of increasing values of farm lands, of an increas? ing demand for firm products, grow? ing more rapidly han the production is likely to grow, and thus a continued high range of prices for practically all the products of American farms. The consumer can no longer hope to get his cotton goods, his bread and his meat at the low price of 1896. We have been paying through an econ? omic revolution, or evolution, to a higher range of living. This neces? sarily means a higher range of prices of farm products and a higher range of wages for mechanics. With the agricultural conditions of the country in such a fundamentally sound position as Indicated by the fig? ures which we have given there can? not be any such long period of indus? trial depression as we had in former years when the farmers were the poorest people In the land. With the certainty of crop yields, which in the aggregate will give us the greatest amount of railroad tonnage and the greatest value to farm products which we have ever had, nature has laid the foundation for a greater expansion of Industry. In the 20-year period between 1870 aod 1890 the gain was only $500,000, 000; In the 30-year period between 1870 and 1900 the gain was only $2, 800,000,000, whereas in the eight year period from 1900 to 1908 the gain was $3,300,000,000, or $500,000, 000 more than for the 30 years from 1870 to 1900. Beginning with lhfO every year has shown a steady and rapid increase. And In nearly every year the gain over the preceedlng year exceeded the total gain of 20 years between 1870 and 1890. Probably nothing more forcibly Il? lustrates this marvelous change than the fact that the value of the agricul? tural products of the South alone, which will this year be between $2, 250,000,000 and $2,500,000,000, will be more than the total for the United States In 1880 and about the same as for the entire country as late as 1890. In 1890 who could have dared to pre? dict that the value of the South's farm products for 1908 would equal the to? tal for the United States in 1890? That the South, with 26,000,000 popu? lation, Is producing as much value In agricultural outturn aa the United States with 62,000,000 people did in 1890 is one of the amasing facts of ouh history. In 1890 the value of all agricultural products outside the South was $1,696,000,000, or at least $600 000,000 leas than what the South alone will this year produce. Much, however, as the farmers of this country have accomplished In the marvelous advance shown by these figures they are only at the beginning of their progress. Within the last five or ten years "there has been a ra? pid growth in scientific farming. Un? der these conditions there is an ln gm creasing average yield per acre. We are preparing for an Increased yield much greater than the increase in acreage. At the same *tme millions of acres of hitherto waste lands are being made available for the most profitable of agricultural pursuits. Irrigation in the semi-arid regions of the West is turning a desert into fruitful orchards and vineyards yield? ing immensely profitable crops. What Irrigation Is doing for dry land recla? mation is beginning to do on a still more profitable scale for wet land. The country has learned that it is a simpler proposition to take the sur? plus water off of overflowing lands than it is to bring a supply of water to the dry land of the West. Thousands of acres reclaimed within the last few years, yielding today great profits where nothing was produced a few years ago have shown the almost Illi? mitable possibilities In saving to man's uses the millions of acres of reclaim able wet lands wrlch have heretofore been without value. It is estimated that the aggregate wet or overflowed lands which can be reclaimed arc greater In extent and will be very mu-;h great? er in value per acre when reclaimed than the entire acreage now devoted to the wheat and cotton crops of the United States. This is, Indeed, a veri? table empire of boundless potentiali? ties which Will add Immeasurably to the wealth of the South, where great reclamation progress is already under way. Considering the progress in scientific agriculture, the steady in crease in the yield per acre, now going ? ?n, the vast expansion in trucking and fruit-growing for the needs of an ever-expanding population, the gn at possibilities in irrigation and reclama? tion work, we can really eee that the agricultural interests of the country are only at the beginning of their real broad development, anil that the fu? ture holds in store a prosperity much greater even than the magnificent advance since 1900 has brought them. These facts furnish a foundation for unbounded optimism as to the mag? nitude of our material progress in the future. SPRINGFIELD RIOTERS INDICTED True Bills Found Against Man and. Woman. m Springfield, 111., Aug. 2#.?Ten in? dictments against two of the alleged mob leaders were returned by the special grand Jury of S&ngamon coun ly late today. Six of these are against Abraham Raymor and four are against Kate Howard. Raymor is charged with murder, four cases of malicious mischief and one of riot. The charges against Kate Howard are of maclicious mischief and are inden tlcal with those against Raymor on these counts. The murder charge against Ray? mor is based on his alleged participa? tion In the lynching of William Don negan, a negro 80 years old, who fell a victim to the mob's fury Saturday night. Considerable of the evidence upon which this charge was based was .procured by the military court of inquiry, which has been sitting un? der the direction of Lieut. Col. Chip perfleld of the First cavalry and which today turned over to the State's attorney the result of its investiga? tions. "We procured enough evidence to Indict 40 or 50 participants in last week's rioting," said Col. Chipperfleid tonight. "We have a complete con? fession from Raymor and we have also discovered convincing evidence of arson on the part of a former po? lice officer of Springfield. The evi? dence is not only available for grand Jury work, but it is also of such a character that convictions are almost bound to follow its presentation in court. I will stand sponsor for that statement." The Indictments charge both Ray? mor and Kate Howard with partici? pation In the looting af the Loper res? taurant and also with aiding in the wrecking of the bul'di ig. RACE RIOT IN CHICAGO. White and Black Dock Laborers Clash?Five M**n Hurt. Chicago, 111., Aug. 20.?In a fight today between white and black dock laborers employed on the Western Transit Company's wharves, North Water and St. Claire streets, growing out of antagonism which has develop? ed since the Springfield riot, five men were injured and the police restored order only after a free use of clubs and threats to shoot. The feeling against the negro la? borers reached a climax today and some of the whites declared tonight that they would not go to work unless the negroes quit This the latter re? fused to do and a quarrel ensued be? tween Hugh Brady, white, and Louis Hawkins, colored. The negro drew a knife and stabbed Brady In the neck and arm, whereupon the fighting be? come general. Bricks and clubs were used freely. The trouble attracted the attention of white and negro laborers employed a short distance away by the Lehigh Valley Transportation Company and they ran to the scene and took sides. Two riot calls were sent to the Chicago avenue police sta? tion and two patrol wagons filled with policemen were rushed to the docks. The * policemen charged the rioters with drawn clubs and succeeded In arresting Hawkins. A 'arge crowd had gathered and was inciting the white men. Fearing that an attempt would be made to take the colored prisoner from them the policemen drew revolvers and shouted a warn? ing to shoot the first man who made an advance. This had the desired effect and further trouble was avert? ed. I - Excellent Health Advice. ?Mrs. If. M.
