John Turner, C. 4 E. agent, accom panied by hlii family, rturnd yester day from a week's outing In th Coast mountains, near Taqulna. Mr. Turn er brings buck with him a cub bear and a spotted fawn n trophies of his prowess as a mighty hunter. The cub, It Is suld, he raptured In a peculiar manner, and rather surprising to him self. While out hunting he was seated on a log watching for developments, when without warning two full-grown bears put In an appearance, one on either end of the log. In trying to get away from both of them at the fame time, he acually executed one of his beautiful cak;-wlk up and down the log. This performance frightened the bears away, and he then discovered that the little cub had hidden Itself away In the ferns, and he captured It eaelly and brought It to camp In his hunting coot pocket Albany Herald. One of the shipments received Mon day was 25 guinea pigs. Tbey came from Jacksonville, Illinois, and are for use at the Agricultural college. They go Into the bacterlolcgical department, where they will die for the benefit of humanity, say the Conrallls Times. Their texture and (Srganfsm Is much like that , of the human family, and that is why they will have to die. Every old disease of goats, chickens or other domestical! animals or fowls that comes along and about which In formation is wanted, will be given to one or more of the newly-arrived pigs. From an affected part of the dead, or diseased creature the germs of the malady will be. If possible, taken. A culture will be made In which the germs will grow, and then the live germs will be put In the Ill-fated gui nea pig. If the thing works out all right he will get the disease, and then It will be known that the correct germ has been secured. The problem then Is to find a cure. In the progress of which half a dos?n guinea pigs are liable to forfeit life, health and earth ly happiness. The process Is naturally rough on the guinea pig, for If he lives long enough he Is sure sooner or later to be a Bufferer from, all the go ing diseases from Itch to tuberculosis. The true Importance of the guinea pig In the world Is not Indicated by his appearance. He Is about as big as a good-slxed rat. He Is shaped like a pig with a fashionable snout and the customary fold In his tail. He would be white If his person were not adorned with small spits of about the same color as the butternut pants that the Southern soldiers w-ore In the civil war. In siime Instances the spots are black. The newly-arrived lot came from a farm In Illinois, where their production Is made a specialty. They were ship ped In a double crate with a doien In each compartment. Their cost was 35 per doren at the farm or 310 for the lot. The freight was 310. making an average cost laid down of 83 cents each. THE HALF CENT. A movement Is on foot to put a one half cent coin In general use In the United Stares. Several suggestions have been made to the government, and a document was presented, signed by the heads of the big department stores throughout the country, showing the needs for this money In making change. Progress finds many methods of Im provement, but for half a century past, In spite of many Imitations, nothing hns risen to equal Hostetter' Stom ach Bitters, the greatest benefactor the human rnce has ever known.

BOXER UPRISING EXPLAINED: Speech Delivered By th Chinese Re former Last Night, Hundred Of Chinamen gathered In a hall on Bond street between Eighth and Ninth last night to listen to th address delivered by th young Chin es reformer. Long Ka Tin. The origin of the troubles iiow dis turbing the celestial empire and the causes for the dowager empress taking the reins of government from the empe ror were fully explained by the speak er In the following speech: "Our country ha a population of over four hundred million sou), Is the largest empire in the world, rich In mineral and vegetable resource and should be th strongest country In the world, yet It I the weakest. All thl I caused by the Manchurlan govern ment It hold the country like It hold It own property, very close. For the last two or three thousand years, e who we're subjects of this govern ment have ben held a prisoners. "My brethren, we now stand upon American ground, as United State cltlxen. Thl government treats It people well and you can see for your selves how happy they are. They have much freedom, much liberty. This gov emment makes good laws. George Washington, who Is called the father of this country was a good man. HI mot to was 'freedom flnit' I 'We must think of ourselves, of our emperor, Kwang Hsu and se what he ha (ion for us. After the Tonquln war with France our government raised 20,000,000 taels for the building of a navy. The dowager empress used this fund for beautifying Her park, called Ye Wah Tun. As a result the navy deportm?nt has r.o funds. That Is the reason we lost the war with Jap an. During the war the dowager em press cried every day. 'How can we tand against Japan T and pretended to le very much grieved, yet the very day that she received a message from LI .Tung Chang that peace had been de c'arcd and that we were whipped, she owned the theatres and had a good time. When the cause of our defeat was looked Into It was fiSund that all of the shells used In he war were filled with sand and peas, and many of them would not fit the guns. The arms were all bought by a son of LI Hung Chang, known as LI King Kong. "Our emprDr has been on the throne since he was four years old yet the dowager empr?ss held the rein of gov ernment She treated blm very cruelly. Soon after the close of the war with Japan, be requested the empress not to open the theatres. She became an gry with him and ordered his carriage to be broken, competing him to walk to his palace, a distance of over twelve miles. Two years ago last March, when the dowager empress leased Klan Chow to the German government the emperor went to the dowager empress and por tested against It in the following words: 'You should not cut up the country In thu manner by leasing It to the foreign powers. You give me no power. I am emperor In name only. If I am not given power, I do not care to sit on the thron.' ''She saw that he was not to be blinded any more so she gave him the power he asked for. A soon as he again had power he- sent for his old professor and told him that he Intend ed to reform the country and wished some advice regarding the manner in which to begin. "Yong Tin Wu did not feel compe tent to advise him but recommended Kan Yo Wal. who was sent for Imme diately. Kan Yo Wal gave him much good advice regarding the reform sys tem and the manner In which to go about In establishing friendly relations with the powers. When he had finished his talk with the emperor, the emperor said to him, 'I am sorry I did not know you earlier. If I had, I do not think we would havs sver lost Formosa. You must help me In the plans you recom mend. If we fall In this reformation I am willing to die. I will be ashamed to face my people.' "During a visit from Prince Henry, our emperor gave him a seat by his nlde instead of remaining on the throne above him. This caused a minister named Kong Yl to become angry. He protested with the emperor, but was told to leave the palace at once. Kong Yi Is now with the dowagar empress as one of her advisers. "The very first thing the emperor did when he was, given power was to Is sue an edict to the people telling them to establish newspapers In all portions of the country so that the people would read more and learn more regarding the outside world. He also ordered that public schools be established where the English as well as the Chinese lan guage would be taught He abolished the duty collected between provinces and commanded the treasury depart ment to send him a monthly statement of Income and expenditures. The army and navy were established on the same bnsls as thiwe of the large powers. "I have read the histories of all the srrent nations and find that the people of these countries 'levfr gained their freedom as easily as we did ours, and It was all acquired because our emperor saw the errors of those who had pre ceded him and cet about to remedy matters. "Ono of the old ministers remarked to the emperor. ' 'Do not give the people ?o much power because If you do you will have none yourself.' The emperor replied: 'If our people live as happily as the people of .other countries I do not care whether I have any power. Queen Victoria gives her people free dom and much power and her people respect her. Then why will not my people respect mo?' "My brethren, our emperor loves us very much and we should love him.

'To the mountains our people In In creasing numbers yearly look for those days of relaxation and recreation nec essary to maintain the human ma chine in fair working conlltlon. The languorous sloth of the seashore proves very seductive while It lasts, but many have decided that the an nual outing should provide not only radical change of air and surround ings, but also such stimulation oC flagging energies as will provide brawn and vigor for the return to labor. For this they urge the mountain climb and ramble, the balsam of the mountain pines, and the clear, unadulterated mountain air. "la this direction the Shasta Rout now affords a wealth of attractions. The entire line of road from Ashland to Redding Is studded with charming and accessible hotels and camps, where are cheer and comfort and healing at reasonable cost and where you can hunt fish. ride. loaf, or play with, equal facility.
