Anti-Qua\ \ ietories.
The Anti-Quay political tide in Penn
sylvania it still rising. The sweeping
anti-Qiay victory in Bradford county
which gave Quay's opponents H State
Senator " and three Representatives
pledged to Btay out of a Senatorial can
cms, if necessary, to corn pas* Quays
defeat: was followed on Saturday by a
complete anti-Quay sweep in the two
Republican counties of Mifflin and
Perry and a partial anti-Quay victory
in tne fairly debatable county of
Adams. The net result of Saturday s
primary elections will be the gain of
one anti-Quay Senator and one anti-
Quay Representative from districts rep
resented by Quay men in the last legis
lature and a certainty that .four Dem
ocrats will be succeeded by Democrats
or anti-Quay Republicans.
The Thirty-first Senatorial district,
composed of the counties of Perry, Mif
flin and Juniata, was represented in the
last State Senate by William Hertzler,
of Juniata, Quay Republican. Mr.
Hertzler will not represent the district
this year. He has carried his own
county, which is usually Democratic,
and been beaten in Mifflin and Perry,
tiie two Republican counties of the dis
trict. Ex-Representative G ruber H.
Bell has carried Miffiin and James W.
McKee has carried Perry. Both an
anti-Quay, and one or the other will be
- nominated and elected. In the last
House Mifflin was represented by Sam
uel Rothrock, Democrat; Jnniata by A.
Fisher, Jr Democrat, and Perry by J.
Harper Seidel. Quay Republican. Jnn
iata will probably elect a Democrat this
year, and Thomas B. Reed, anti Quay
Republican, has been nominated in
Mifflin and John A. Arnold, anti-Qnay
Republican, in Perry. The entire
Thirty-first district, with one Senator
and three Representatives, is hopelessly
lost to the Quay cause. The district has
for years been a Quay stronghold.
The battle in Mifflin and Perry on
Saturday was determined largely by the
same causes which contributed to the
Quay overthrow in Bradford. Mifflin
and Perry are largely agricultural conn
ties' and the farmers, angered by the
unwarranted veto by Governor Stone of
a part of the "school appropriation and
the evident collusion l»etween the Re
publican machine and the oleomargar
ine dealers, smote the Qnay candidates
for State Senator and Representatives
hip and thigh, changing the district
from a rock-ribbed Qnay district to a
pronounced anti-Quay one. In the
county of Adams, which was represent
ed in the last Legislature by two Demo
crats, the reports indicate a stand off
between the forces, one Quay and one
anti-Qnay Republican having t>een
nominated.
Above and beyond and of wore im
portance than the sure gain of two votes
for the anti-Quay cause, the primaries
of Saturday indicate that the conditions
which overthrew the Quay machine in
Bradford exist in every agricultural
connty, and that they will lead to the
nomination of anti-Quay representative*
in all the sure Republican counties thai
are yet to make Republican nomina
tions, while in all close connties Demo
cratic or fusion legislators will be re
turned. Saturday's primaries have
only rendered Quay's hopeless canvas*
more hopeless than ever Phil'a Times.
THIH has been a record breaki n« year
for the California orange crop. Th<
yield will, it is thought, be i»bont 4,500,-

investment in California orange grovee
now amounts to $44,000,000.

The Scientific American for last week
had a picture of one of the big Bessie
engines that pass through Butler daily,
, and gave the following figures:
The total weight of the engine alone
is 125 tons, and of the tender 70 tons,
the total weight of the engine and tender
being thus only 5 tons short of 1400. or
fully equal to the weight of an average
pa»senger train. The boiler is of excen
tional size, measuring htH inches in di
ameter at the throat sheet. There are
four hundred and six 2$ inch tubes in
the lioiler, each measuring 15 feet over
the sheets, and the total heating snrface
in the tubes is a,5«4 square feet Th'
heating surface in the firebox is 24 I
square feet and the urate; area 20. H
square feet. The total heating snrfac e
is 8,805 square feet. The driving
journals, on the front intermediate, and
back axles measure 1) hy IK inches,
while the main driying journal'
measure no less than 10 by IH inche
the main crank pin, moreover, is 7'.
inches in diameter by M inches in length
The cylinders are 24 inches in diameter
by 32 inches in length, and in them
selves are ns big as many a small
stationary boiler, while the piston rod:
have a diameter of 4} inche The
tender has a tank capacity of 7,500 gal
lons and carries 14 tori" of coal llig a
this engine is, we suppose it will only
be a matter of a few months liefore its
dimensions are surpassed. Just in what
direction the increase can take place it
is difficult to say. as the width over ibe
cylinders and the height of smokestack
most have about reached the limit of
the loading K*ge. Any considerable in
crease in size must necessarily take
place in a longitudinal direction

THE CHINESE WAR.
On Friday last a telegram from Taku j
dated the Utli. asserted that the attack !
in Pekin began on Monday the 13th. and
that the allies headquarters I were -at
Tung-Chow, ten miles from Pekin. An
undated cipher dispatch from Conger
gave a list of the killed among names
defending the legations, and said the
legation was yet besieged, with fre
qnent attacks. The Russians were re
pairing the railroads from Tien Tsin to
Yangtsun. The Empress was again
reported to have fl>-d the Capital.
FALL OF PEKIN
Fri'lay evening the acting secretary
of State at Washington made public the
following telegram received that more
ing from the l. nited States consul at
Chefu:
"Chefu, Aug. 17. —(Received Aug. 17.
7:55 p. m i
' 'Secretary of State, W?.shington.
'l7—The Japanese admiral reports
the allies attacked Pekin. east, on the
15th. They met with obstinate resist
ance.
"Evening— I The Japanese entered the
capital with other forces and immediate
ly surrounded the legations, InmatfS
were safe. The Japan»-se loss was over
100; Chinese. 300. FOW LER.
The navy department that day received
the following cablegram from Admiral
Remey
' TAKU. Aug. 17. 1 a. m.
"1 have just received a telegram from
Tien Tsin. dated August 10, 10 p m:
Pekin was captured on August 15.
Foreign legations are safe. Details
follow shortly.
On Snndav a dispaf-h from London
dated 4 a. m. said
Ample confirmation ha- been received
of the report that Pekiu was captured
August 15. Official reports to various
countries concerned in the relief expedi
tion leave no doubt that the capita' of
China is in the hands of the allies, and
that all the foreigners besieged there
have been rescued. The Japanese
official dispatches and one news dispatch
from Shanghai speak of fighting and
obstinate resistance by the Chinese.
Admiral Brace's cable and some othe r
official message say nothing about any
conflict, while some news reports tell
about troops entering the city unopposed
It appears that the Americans and
British entered the city at one point, to
gether, and they may not have been op
posed, while the Japanese and Russians,
approaching at another point, had to
tight their way in after blowing down a
gate. The imperial family seems to
have taken flight.
Europe, America and Japan agreed
some time ago to restore order through
out China after the legations were saved
and to establish a stable government for
the empire. That is the task now before
the Western nations. It is likely to be
long and hard.
Three-thousand British Indian troops
landed at Shanghai. Saturday, and more
were considered necessary, as the s:lk
weavers were parading the city and an
outbreak was feared. The London
papers criticized the English foreign
' jffice for being so slow in occupying the
"nerve centre"' of the richest region in
China, which sustains 150,000,000 of
people. The Foreign Office adjutants
were bewildered at the ado raised
throughout the country by what they
consider an amusing little game of Lord
Salisbury, ending to England s advant
age. It is explained thus to the Associ
ated Press
"First—The formal announcement
that troops would be landed, then a five
days' wait, in which the foreign consuls
at Shanghai wagged their heads ai-d
wired to their home Governments; mut
tering* of disapproval on the Continent
and the stirring up of Chinese opposition
at Shanghai; troops arrive at Shanghai
and the Viceroy resists their landing,
saying that France and liussia object;
the Consuls meet and several of them
assert, "If the British land we will
land troops, too;' Admiral Seymour,
after wiring London, announces that
England withdraws and the troops do
not land; a sailing hour is appointed the
next day every variety of foreign com
mercial intesest in Shanghai cries out in
dismay; the Consuls revise their views
and join in requesting their Govern
merits to induce the British to land 'for
the security of Shanghai: the British
sail away; intimations are received at
the Foreign Office from France, Ger
many and Austria that they are quite
willing the troops should land: the trans
ports are pursued and brought back and
the troops are disembarked.''
The Foreign Office expresses the opir.
ion that the business was admirably
worked.
A dispatch from Pekin,dated the 17th
said that the Americans and British en
tered the city by the gate nearest the
legations and met with but slight resis
tance; but tin- Japanese and Russians
blew up another gate nt midnight, and
had a fierce fight. This was on th<i !7th
On the 15th the allies forced the gate of
the Imjrt-rial City, and entered it. Min
ister Conger WHS quoted as follows:
"They tried to annihilate us the day
before you got in. Prince Ching, 1 res
ident of Tsung Li-Yamen, sent word
that his officers had received orders to
cease fiririK on ns under pain of death
At 7 o'clock in the evening of the same
day the Chinese opened lire and this
continued all day. If the relieving col
nmn had not arrived we must have sue
cnrnbed The Americans lost seven ma
rines killed and 15 wounded and one
child died. The whole movement is
purely a Oovermental one. The "Box
ers' are only a pretense, having no guns
The confidential adviser of the Empress
was the leader of the imperial troops
here. In 11 days over 2,000 shells fell
among us. The American marines, uri
der Captain Myers, held a position on
the wall throughout the siege. ITpon
the allies passing the wall, tiie Chinese
retreated. The Imperial family left
four days ago for Shansi province
A member of the British, legation
after describing the condition'of affairs
just prior to the Boxers outbreak,
continues:
After the murder of Baron vonKetteler
all the foreigners from the different
legations hurried to the English one and
made prcpa rations for siege Kir Claude
Mac Donald superintended the prepara
tions, gathering up such supplies of rice
and poultry as were to be had. We won
fortunate in having the stallies full of
the poniua belonging to the various mem
bern of the legation, for, though it was
not expected when the legation was clos
ed that they would be so valuable. Mill,
before the tiring ceased, the rations in
sight were rice and |<ony meat.
The Chinese gathered on legation St.
and barricaded the street which runs
north past the English legation, and
after some lighting between the Boxers
and friendly troops the reliels secured
possession of Prince Tr.ng's palate,
which lies just across the canal from the
English legation. The fellows who got
in there were the most troublesome of
the Isssiegers, for they kept up an inces
sant pepper of shots on the legation
gate.
It is lucky that the walls around the
legation were tall and heavy, for al
though they were lettered somewhat by
artillery fire from the corner of I<cgit
tlon street and from the city wall still
they have nVnnt the rest very well Day
and night a desultory filing has lieen
kept up, only censing when the Chinese
stepped for their dinners, and although
this rarely took over half an hour, the
respite was always a welcome one.
If the C hin. - bad n..t ls-cn such row
iriLs they could easily have overwhelmed
the legation. l»ut their attack has btt-n
anlv of h sneaking and cowardly char
acter. Thev have trie<l to creep up the
bed of the canal under the protection of
the -tone embankment whiehruDs ••> the
legation, and thev have tried to burn the
legation ont by setting fir.- to the build
intra around it. The sacred buildings of
the Han lie college, with its ancient
librarv of unique manuscripts. was burn
ed, and several homes of friendly Chinese
which adjoined were also destroyed.
From the legation could be seen the de
struction. and by the rising of the smoke
you could tell as one by one they were
wrecked. The Russian and the Ameri
can legations have been the least ilani
aged, for they lay so close that they are
almost under the protection of the guns
in th>- British legation. We would nave
had a bard time had it not been for the
smuggling in of supplies by friendly
Chinese. The stable gate of the legation
opens into a Chinese market, and a lot
of vegetables and garden products was
smuggled in that way. We also receiv
ed much information concerning tht
whereabouts and pisition of the Chines*
forces from the compound of those <. hi
nese who liyed on each side of the k-ga
tion while a lot of imperial troops were
camped in the imperial carnage grounds
that adjoined the legation on the north
west. ,
Once or twice the Chinese came dowt
the street by the canal as though they
were going to force the front entrance
i bnt thev could never stand the fire ol
onr guards long enough to reach it. \N t
have received a number of cominumca
tions and a lot of edicts from the Tsun*
Li Yamen. first lauding the Boxers an<
calling them patriots, and asking al
good Chinese to join in the effort to ex
terminate the Christians, but afterwar'
turning completely about and ordering
them to furnish us protection.
The last edict was quickly interpreter
as meaning that the Chinese ba<
been defeated outside the city. Ihe verj
flight after this friendly edict was pub
lished the most vicious attack of all wai
made on thelegation. TheChinesesim
plv fwarmed the street and attempted t<
climb over the wall, until at last Capt
Myers in command of the American roa
rineg, decided to make a sortie. Alnios
everv one opposed bis decision, for the;
thought it would be certain death and
that the American force would be anni
hilated, but Myers was determined, foi
it seemed thtrf nothing else would etoj
the swarming of the Chinese, and if they
once ls-gan to get over the wall insidi
the legation it would probably havener
all over: so the Americana dashed out ol
the entrance and, quicker that you csi
tell the street along the canal was swepi
clean of Chinese. The Americans sur
fered severely, and Capt Myers hansel
was badly wounded, but they saved tht
legation." The city wall, which liesonly
a long block south of the legation, lia<
been the favorite js.st for a large force
of the Chinese who had made themselye
particularly troublesome: for. being «
high up, they overlooked the legatioi
and could shoot right down into it
Had tle re been any marksman amor.jj
them they could easily have picked oil
most of those in the legation one at •
time: hence it was decided that the toj
of the wall must be taken by some ol
our guard, and again the American!
were selected for the work.
It was done without much trouble. *Ol
the Chinese had been so leidly whippe<
that they did not care t-> stand up agamri
those Yankee marines. The American;
are still holding the top of the wall
which is a vital and commanding i*>h
tion, for it not only prevents the lega
tion from being fired into, but it enable;
thein to see the movements and jiosi
tions of all the Chinese forces m 111•
neighborhood.
There is no us discussing an Anglo
American alliance. It is already it
existence, and out here it is the only
thing that has preserved the safety ol
th? foreigners in Pekin and bronghi
about the truce which now promises t<
relieve them. The ankeesand the red
coated Englishmen are together every
where, and lead in very movement
The fighting itself has not been so fierce,
except the few times that the Chine*
have attempted to make an assault, bnl
there has been an awful strain from con
stant watching and the agony of wait
ing and wondering what has become of
the relief force which has so long beet
delayed. The women in the legation
have been even greater heroes that th«
men. looking after the wounded and car
ing for the comfort of those who wen
on guard or at work in building new
defenses.
The legation is ditched and tunneln
and barricaded, so that if the ' hine
get in any place they will still find theni
wives prevented trom reaching the re*i
of the legation without just as fierce e
fight as it necessary to gain their fir 1
admittance The great pavilion wind
stands iust inside the entrance the om
with tlie tall, red lacquered pillars ;un,
the big green tiled roof, which has bet •
the scene of much gayety and dancing
has been turned into a hospital, and < ott
for the sick and wounded stand a!
around, while the women are flittinu it
and out in their ministrations.
Platforms were built around inside th<
encircling wall of the legation compound
so that, we could have the outlook and
watch the Chinese, but the strain of th<
expectation of attack and the fear ol
dread of being overwhelmed by a flotsl
of yellow fiends have been terrible f'i
our dreams we have seen the wall cover
ed with grinning, chattering faces jnst
ready to drop inside. Many were tht
plans made for action if it cam© to the
worst, for the problem of what to do in
case of,extrernity has been fully consider
ed. The men couldn't agree that tin
women and children should be killed if
the Chines*! attack should prevail, but it
was pretty well understood, particularly
among the Americans and English, that
their families would not !«• allowed te
fall alive into the hands of the < 'hire <e.
At Washington, Tuesday, the Cabinet
session of the day was taken tip by the
consideration of the momentous ques
tions growing out of the capture of IV
kin. Until that day's session, the al>
sorhing question has been the safety of
Minister (.longer and the legation peo
pie at Pekin. Now that has given
place to problems touching the very > x
istence of the Chinese empire and the
pari which the American government
is to take in the reconstruction.
The meeting thatday was devoted en
entirely to the < ,'hinese situation, Sccre
taries Hay and Root, who have been
most active in directing affairs, were
absent from the city, so that the Atten
dance was comparatively small, tlif
president having with him Ht < k Uirie
'iage, Hitchcock and Wilson and I 'out
master General Charles Emory Smith
Several questions were awaiting att'-n
tion. First of these was tbeappiication
of Ei Hung Chan if for the appointment
of Minister Conger or some other coin
missioner to negotiate for the cessation
of hostilities The decision arrived _at
was to reject the appeal, and a reply of
this character will be sent to Ministei
Wu to l>e forwarded to Ei Hung Chang
The rejection is based on the non-com
pliancc of the Chines*! government with
the specific provisions of the declaration
of the United States under date of
August Ei.
The moving cause for this action if
that this government is at present very
much in the dark as to whether then
is any existing government in China.
With the capital in the hands of tin
allies, the Emperor and Empress dowa
ger fugitives in hiding and the etitir*
governmental fabric paralyzed tie re i.
no evidence of any authority adequai
to conduct negotiations and secure r»
suits which will he final and binding.
It was stated by members of the cabi
net that the ('hineso establishment, in
stead of being a government, appears t<
be an enormous, headless affair, with
ont knowledge of what is for its owi
best good and without power to enforci
its wishes With the recognized ruler
inflight, no one seems U> know who II
anybody, is directing it:, affairs A-
China is an absolute monarchy, with
ont any legislative branch, the Kmperoi
and Empress dowager are allpowcrfnl
and practically they are the Empire ol
China.
In the meantime, there is reason \>
believe that the United States and al
the other js»w«is Interested, will keej
their armed forces on the ground, si
that order may be maintained and al
least a semblance of a stable govern
i merit brought out of the existing chaos

At the Republican primaries in Mif

the Antis in both counties won out. in

'Aoo and Quay will lose his candidate for
State Senate in that district.
As Allegheny county has not. at pres
ent. a representative upon the Supreme
Bench of the state, some members of the
bar of that county think the Governor s
appointee, to fill the vancancy caused by
the death of Justice Green should be
from that county: and it is pointed ont
that the Governor can make three ap
pointments necessary by promoting a
man from the Superior to the Supreme
Bench: one from the I<xal to the Super
ior Bench, and on<* fi*>m the Bar to the
local Bench.
The Butler and Armstrong Republi
can Senatorial conferrees will meet in
Butler tomorrow.
At the meeting of the Republican
State Committee in Philadelphia, rues
day, the name of Wm. H. Saver was
substituted for that of Wm. C. Arnold
on the electoral ticket, the latter having
declined; and that of Dr. Ely f'>r F. L.
Kinnear who died lately.
The resignation of ex-Congressman
W C Arnold of Clearfield county from
the electorial ticket excited no little
difi< nsflion ttnioiif? the iuemberH of the
the committee because of the causes
leading up to it. Mr. Arnold was elect
ed to Congress at the Presidential elec
tion of 1 Ktfi, and. though defeated for
re-election by a Democrat in 1898, should
according to party precedent have had
the distribution of the Federal patron
age during the term of his successor.
Acting on this theory he urged the ap
pointment of his brother, Samuel Ar
nold, for postmaster of Curwensville,
Clearfield county, the birthplace of the
ex Congressman. This suggestion was
not acted upon by Senator Penrose unci
other leaders of the organization, riot
withstanding that they had promised
him the appointment. Arnold says.
Thev preferred instead, R B. Brainerd,
whose claim was pressed by Represen
tative Frank G. Harris of Clearfield
•ounty. Brainerd was named for the
Curwensville postoffice about two weeks
ago, and since then ex Congressman Ar
nold has declared war on Representative
Harris, who was recently renominated
to the Assembly as a Quay man. In or
der to be at greater liberty to make his
fight, Arnold resigned as a candidate
for presidential elector, and is now de
voting his best energies to bring about
the defeat of Harris.
Some anti-Fusion resolutions were
passed, a committee of seven appointed
to investigate and the Committee ad

New Kensington Tournament.
Butler county's volunteer firemen
made great records for themselves at
the New Kensington tournament, last
week. Then* were about sixty firemen
from Butler and forty from Evans
City at the tournament, besides a large
number of friends outside the fire com
panies. and it can safely be said that
none of the riotous, disorderlv conduct
rei«>rted in the Pittsburg papers is
chargable against the Butler county
lads.
Besides conducting themselves better
| than the general run of tournament at
tendauts, our Buckwheats c*ptured
prizes amounting to $440, the First
Wards of Butler getting $375, the Res
cues $'.N» and the John A. I Twins of
Evans City 75. Ihe Irwir.s had tli>-p;irg

Leave them a SSO prize, and their other

race.
The service race, 250 yards, Thursday
afternoon, was captured by Martin's
Ferry, Ohio, in 42J seconds: First
Ward's second, 43J-. and Rescue's third.
44J. The prizes in this race were SIOO.
•SOU and $25. Martin's Ferry ran first
and were followed by the Irwin's, who
used the First Ward's pneumatic tired
cart. About midway in the race two
of the Irwins, Walt *r Griesbach and A 1
Mickley, fell and were run over. Both
were badly, but not seriously, bruised.
The wheels which were just new, were
bent out of shape and ruined.
The hose and hook and ladder races
were run Friday, resulting as follows:
Ho-.- Race. 250 yards. First Ward's,
3:5 3 5 second- Martin's Ferry, 371: Res
cue's. 3H and Irwin's. 42 The prizes
were $l5O, *s>o and ~■ • Previous
to this the World's racing record was
33 4-5 seconds, held by the First Wards,
and they succeeded in lowering it this
slight fraction.
Hook and Ladder Race First Ward s.
34 seconds: Martin's Ferry. 35: Rescues,
354: Homestead, 30. Prizes £75, $40,515
and $lO. The distance run was 200

long. Wallace Rimer climbed it for
the Rescues and Holley Wilson for the
First Wards.
Ail the races were run on Third Ave.

Obituary Notes.
CHIEF JUSTICE GREEN
At Atlantic City, last Thursday,
Henry Green of Easton, Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
died suddenly.
For many years Justice Green had
been a sufferer from rheumatism and
his physicians state that this had so
weakened his constitution that he was
nnable to withstand an attack of
uraemia, which was hastened by a re
cent cold.
He was elected to fill a vacancy in the
Supreme Bench in 1880, and only last
January succeeded the chief justiceship
upon the retirement of Judge Sterrett,
and it was the general hope and expec
tation that he would be able to round
out his full term of office, which would
have expired in January, 1902. As
chief justice, on May 20 of the present
year, he rendered a notable decision sus
taining the rights of the legislature and
the people of the State and overturning
the action of Gov. in attempting to veto
the resolution submitting constitutional
amendments providing for ballot reform
to the action of the voters, hi his
opinion Justice Green made it most
clear that the governor's action was a
gross usurpation of the rights of the
legislature and the people, and earned
the gratitude and increased respect of
the latter by his stand in behalf.of their
constitutional privileges. Jnstice Green
was a lifelong Republican, having been
a delegate to the first National conven
tion of the party in 1856. He was a
high-minded, genial man, and his death
will be sincerely monrned by many, not
only on account of his valuable public
services, but also because of his many
excellent personal qualities,
By his death Judge McCollnm of
Montrose becomes Chief Justice, and
the vacancy in tin- Bench will be filled
by appointment by Gov. till th e
general election of next year.
JOHN J. INGALLS
At Las Vegas, New Mexico, last
Thursday, ex United States Senator
John J. Ingallsof Kansas, died.
Mr.ltiKalls was born in Massachusetts
in 1888, read law, and located in Kan
sas in 1857, took an interest in politics
and rose rapidly.
hi 1878 he was elected to the United
States Semite as a Republican, taking
his seat March t, 1874, and served byre
election in IN7!t anil IHHS for IS succes
sive years.
Few Senators had a stronger hold on
public attention, and from his first en
trance into National politics he was a
picturesque figure and a positive in
fluence A pioneer upon advanced lines
of thought, gifted with a vivid and
powerful eloquence, a master of satire
and invective, able to illumine every
theme with stores of knowledge and ex
perience, he was ever the fearless cham
pion of every cause he espoused. The
Seriate chamber was always filled to
overflowing when it was known he was
to s] teak, and the charm of well eonceiv
ed utterances seemed to attract and con
vince all his hearers. No better ex
ample of his self reliant courage could
IK mentioned than his fcarles* opposi
tion, against party pressure, to the
"cloture resolution" of 1890, which in
iiis judgment dangerously invaded the
privileges 'if th» Senate and violated the
fundamental prineiplesof constitutional
government. From IHW) to 1801 he was
president pro tern.of the Senate, and in
this high station displayed the utmost
courtesy, impartiality and dignity,
showing himself, in short, a past mas
ter in parliamentary procedure. After
his retirement Mr. lngalls devoted him
self to journalism. literature and farm
ing. Articles from his pen were fre
qnently seen in the daily papers, as well
as in the high-class magazines Mr
lngalls was a brilliant con vers.- tionul Ist
and Buccessfnl extempore speaker, tie
was married at Atchison, Kan., Septem
ber 27, 1805, to Anna Louise these
