Looks like an UNmounted horseman to me.

I noticed that as well :)

Perhaps DISmounted ?

Dismounted would be the right word, you are correct. My lack of equestrian experience shows.

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called The Family Home, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Kiukiang Institute was a Methodist Episcopal organization that proselytized in China. "The six months which have elapsed since the last Annual Meeting have been almost entirely free from the disquieting rumors which have disturbed other parts of China, and throughout the district the old time confidence and friendliness have been largely restored. At Hwang-mei Hsien serious trouble was threatened. Preaching services were interrupted, the chapel defaced, the preacher's house stoned, and he and his family subjected to much annoyance and discomfort, if not actual clanger. An appeal was made to the United States consul at Hankow, who promptly represented the case to the viceroy, and quiet was immediately restored. At Sha-ho, ChSn, the magistrate of the Teh-hwa District, while visiting the place on official business, publicly incited the gentry and people to riot and violence. He is a Hunan man, and is bitterly antiforeign. Happily there was no actual outbreak, but it has had a marked effect upon the people. The facts in the case were communicated to the United States minister, and doubtless the magistrate will be punished." "The work has gone steadily forward in all departments. In the Kiu- kiang Institute we had a gracious, old-fashioned revival with over thirty conversions. The blessed influence of this outpouring of God's Spirit was felt through the whole district. The older circuits are ripe for a similar work, and we are looking and praying for a mighty revival which shall roll over the entire Kiukiang District."

Thank you Richard Norton, for the additional information about the Kiukiang Institute. We will add some of it to the record when we update.

FLOOD IN TOWNSVILLE GREATEST IN MEMORY: DAMAGE MANY THOUSANDS Water 15 Ft Deep In Parts TOWNSVILLE, March 5.-Residents of 60 years stated that the flood in Townsville was the greatest in memory, affecting areas previously regarded as above any possibility of flooding. The damage done by the flood in the city will run into many thousands. It is not possible to make a close estimate of the damage until the flood waters recede, as many houses in the Hermit Park area are still submerged. Some householders lost the greater part of their furniture, which was swept out of their houses. Officials, however, estimate the damage at £200,000 in the city area. In parts of South Townsville, the water was as high as 15 ft. above the road level. The Causeway Hotel, on the bank of the Ross River, had 30 inches of water over the bar counter. With inches of silt and other flood deposits in their homes, many residents of suburban areas of Townsville today were unable to obtain town water with which to clean their houses. The water shortage has been caused not by any damage to the weirs, but by the submersion of the pumps which line the bank of the Ross River and which have been in water, mud and silt. The wet motors of the pumps will have to be replaced with dry motors before pumping can be resumed. The city is still without gas, which is not expected to be avail- able until Wednesday.
