The end of Chris Slmpson, wlilch ; was of .a dramatic nature at Island City yesterday, is' &" lesson' t6 every man. Chris Simpson was a Dane. He came to this country 19 years ago. and located in Umatilla county on a farm. He prospered for he worked hard. Ac cumulating a handsome fortune he de cided to sell out and move to Port land. This proved to be a mistake for Jie met with' serious reverses. Later he came to Union county and teased big ranch, but things did not go well and Anally he found himself at Island City completely broke finan cially. He brooded over his reverses and this brooding caused a course of life that was Just the wrong thing tintil finally he got to ttoa point where nothing seemed to inspire him to change. Viewing his wrecked condi tion it is presumed that in a moment of bitterness he said, "What's the user' and rang down the curtain of life with his own hand. Dut there are others draeply 'Inter ested.

' KHEOrATISJI AND THE CHINESE REBELLION. Yuan Shi Kai has for som years been a dominating mind in thinss Chinese.. The Manchu rulers were fearful of his influence and thev de termined to get him out of tho way. They -were so over-awed already by the alarming growth of the rebellion in the province of Sz-Chuen they fear ed to send this great man to the block for decapitation, and Instead ordered him to rrtire from the capital city of Peking. It was. officially published that the doughty Yuan ha'd been gra ciously permitted to leave the imper ial city Vin order that be might take medical treatment for the cure of rteumatism in hla foot." When the prince regenf , saw- th'3 turn affairs were taking, that the ruling Mai.chus were about to be driven from' tht throne and out of th9 land, he called for that great commoner. Yuan, to re turn to Peking and assist him bv giv ing him much needed advice. The wily Chinaman replied that his foot was not w3ll y. Thereupon he re ceived an Imparial order to the r.ffect that he got well quickly; but that de ceitful, nerve-racking disease refused to move until the wise Yuan had extort ed frorij the trembling government powers the most unusual ever confer red upon any Chinese that of, abso lute dictatorship and authority to con clude any treaty 'with the rebsls in the field or within the boundaries of the empire. it . .- V ' It can be confidently expected now that oon the troubles internal will end; but not with the Manchu on the throne. It is likely that for a while the ruffianism of border warfare may continue, but that race will gradual ly settle all fundamental disturb ances. ;' '; '".' V' ' ;. ..' '- ' A compromise may be effected whereby Manchus and Chlwse t9kc place side by side as constituent citi rents of that elephantine count"?', and that some form of representative government will obtain.
