MINISTER CONGER
STANDS BY THEM
lustilies the Acts of the Missionaries at
I'elcin Dill Not Loot, but Provided
For the Destitute Men and Women
on Their Hands.
Virroiti, April SI!. In an interview
Willi the Kobe Herald, Minister Conger,
who iH on Mb vAy to Sun Francieco, said :
"Then; were roully no nuts on the part
ill tins missionaries there that were not
entirely jtistitled when tho circumstances
are known. The minnionaries did not
loot. They found liOOO deHtitute men
and women on their hands. There wiw
no government, no organised authority.
There were houses of men who iiud been
iiriiiK on tho foreign quarter, directing
the uttiirking leaders of the Boxers;
their property had been abandoned tin a
ruault of the etato of war, and it wiih
taken in order to succor hundred) of
HiiH'uriiig and deiititute Chinese whoee
liveH the original ownerH had been labor
ing to deHtroy. Winter was entiling on
and measures of some hind were im
punitive and the appropriation for the
ends in view was unquestionably justi
fied. That, briefly, was the situation. 1
am prepared to justify the conduct of the
American missionaries before the siege,
durini! the siege and after the siege. 1(
you wish to gut tlio facts, there is a mis
sionary on board who would probably
give you all tlio particulars you want."
Thu missionary wbb Dr. Anient, who
told thu reporter that goods taken by
the so-called loot committee were goods
left in stores by people who bad Bought
refuge in tho legation during the siege,
and the goods were taken to prevent
their destruction. The clothes and bed
ding were given to men working on the
barricades, mid the committee handed
.Sir Claude MacDonald the key of the
room in which nil tho valuables were
stored. These goods were sold and the
proceeds divided among 'he British sol
diers. HiB mission received but $75.
Previous to this n sale of garments and
curios wus held and the $400 nutted was
given to tho American mission board.
Most of the goods were taken from
buildings that the military authorities
ordered burned. Some of the goods
were restored to the owners and other
owners were recompensed for their
losses. Dr. Anient explains the Bale of
goods in the Mongol Prince's house,
where he took up his quarters by Baying
tiiey were without food and sold the
goods on the advice of Mr. Conger, and
hud thev not taen possession the plnce
would have been destroyed by the Itus
BiiuiB. About $4000 was realized by
this-sale and it was devoted to the needs
of the native Christians. In conclusion
Dr. A merit said :
"Tho Chinese dammed up the canal
and were going to drown us out. They
eupposed the foreigners bad subter
ranean burrows in which to take refuge,
and were certain that underground pas
sages had been made from the legation
to the Fn, bo they resolved to drown us
out like rats in a trap."

Yes, August Flowerstill has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought of using anything else for
indigestion and biliousness. Doctors
were scarce and they seldom heard of
appendicitis, nervous prostration or
heart failure, elo. They used August
Flower to dean out the system and etop
fermentation of undigested food, regu
late the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the sys
tem, and that is all they took when feel
ing, dull and bad with headaches and
other aches. You only need a few doses
of Gfeen's August Flower, in liquid
form, to make you satisfied tiiere is
nothing serious the matter with you.

Hii.i.snoito, April t!3. County Judge
L. A. Kood yesterday received a letter
from Dr. Norris, of Oregon City, con
cerning W. II. H. McGee, a veteran who
hns been missing from his home since
April 8th, Mi-Gee's friendB have been
very anxious about him for the past
week and searching parties searched the
numerous streams about Hillsboro,
thinking possibly he bad gone Ashing
and met-with some accident. His strange
disappearance was reported in the papers,
and Dr. Norris having read the accounts,
reported to Judge Rood by letter that on
the 0th, while driving in the country
near Oregon City, he overtook a man
answering the description and giving his
name as McGee, stating also that he was
from Hillsboroand was going to Gresham.
Friends here are not yet satisfied, as
McGee left without caring for his poultry,
leaving the fowls to care for themselves,
which wuh something unusual for him.
and while there is no doubt but he was
the man seen by Dr. Norris, yet the ac
tions of the missing man are considered
quite strange.

CiiiCAdO, April 2.'i. In the arrest of
Count Leopold do Melville, otherwise
known as Leo Fralqnini, who is held by
tho New York police on a charge of
bigamy, sworn to by a biother of one
of his Chicago wives, there was brought
to light in this city a romance whose un
folding reveals the count as the hero of
moro than 100 love affairs. He is de
clared to be the husband of an assort
ment of wives whose number is esti
mated at not less than 50 or bo.
As a duelist on many a blood-stained
field of honor in Europe, the count be
come celebrated nearly a generation ago.
His dnelB were always fought for love,
and the wounds received in the onsets
he proudly bears on his face and body.
He at last broke altogether with his
fattier, a nobleman high in the court and
councils of the king of Belgium
Such was the narrative detailed last
evening at her residence in this city by
Mrs. Hannah Henson de Melville, who
married the count in this city, August
21, l'JOO, and lived with him until three
weeks ago. A few days before April 1st
of tins vear the count eloped with a
young woman from Kiverdale whom, it
is alleged, be married in this state and
then took with him to New York. With
in a few days of the elopement the young
lady's, brother discovered that De Mel
ville had a wife in Chicago Mrs. Han
nah Henson de Melville with whom he
had been living until the time of the
elopement. His sister in New York waB
made acquainted with her brother's
discoveries. There was a scene between
tho elopers after which the woman re
turned to Chicago.
When placed under arrest in New
York the count was reported to have
told Detective Bu-ke he had so many
wives that he had not been able to keep
track of even their names, and could
form no idea as to their real number.

THE DALLAS, OR
To Prevent Ruuawajrs. j
Baker City, April 23. Mre. W. L.
Lachner, of Baker City, has secured a
patent on a novel device for preventing
teams from running away. The instru
ment is a small clamp to be fastened
onto a spoke of the wheel near the hub.
The frame of the clamp is so turned tbat
any one may loop the lines over it quite
readily. Should the team start forward
this clamp holds the lines so they wind
around the hub drawing the horses back.
The harder they press forward the harder
will the lines be drawn back, and soon
as they etop, and back up, they will
slacken. Tne device is exceedingly
simple, and is pronounced a great con
venience by all who have observed it.
It can be made very email, so as not to
constitute an unsightly tbing when at
tached to the spoke of a wheel.
