about the same nature 1t is said to be eX-
cellent for dyspepsia, and some people take
1t after their meals. 1t is made also in the

thing we use that the Japanese could not
make cheaper than we do, and there are
very few things which they could not make
as well. They are now building watch fac
tories. The wages are so remarkably low,
and their workingmen can live like lords on
what our laborers would starve on.
Some Japnnese Economics.
The people of the far east have nothing
like our wants. A workingman can furnish
his house there for less than $40, and they
save in every possible way 1t is very
poor American laborer indeed who has
not $50 worth of furniture in his house.
He has tables that cost all the way from 81
to SO apiece. His chairs cost him from 80
cents upward. His carpets are expensive,
and his cooking stove eats big hole into
a months wages. The japanese uses only
mating, and he carpets his house of two
or three rooms for many dollars. His
pots, pans and stoves cost him, all told, not
more than $50, and l have seen it esti-
mated that a couple can go to housekeeping
on $3.50. Chopsticks are by no means so eX-
pensive as knives and forks, and his pillows
are of wood, costing about couple OF cents
apiece. he has no bed and he sleeps On
the floor, and so you see that he saves
every way. Think of the saving on rocking
chairs and lounges! Take all the beds and
cooking stoves in America. What an i'll
mense amount they must cost! Suppose
our laborers wore straw sandals, and we'll
TODD men trotted about on wooden clogs
Suppose our stockings We're thrown away
and we used foot mittens that only came
as high as the ankles. Suppose for the
next ten years the G5,e00,00 people of the
United States would not need to wear un-
derclothing, and suppose instead Of living
off of beefsteak and all sorts of other eN-
pensive meats, we should confine ourselves
TO rice, fish, vegetables and tea. You can
see what an immense saving there would
be. Remember, L do not advocate these
competition which is bound to ensuc with
these people of Asia in the future, when,
by modern machinery, they will begin to
manufacture for the world.

I tdIKeu some TIME WITH Mt. George
Flood, the head of the American firm, about
the mating industry which has recently
sprung up in Japan, and which is now
driving the Chinese mating out of our
markets. He says that it is only four
or five years now since the japanese began
to export this article, and that we already
take 250,OO0 rolls a year. The mating
comes from near Hiroshima, where the
emperor has been holding his court dur

Burglary and larceny is the charge
upon which Sheriff Royse arrested Emory
Howerton near Maize day before yester-

A few days ago telegram was received
from W. H Fickle, sheriff of Knox coun-
", Missouri, stating that Howerton was
wanted there for burglary aud larceny.
and that he was headed FOR Wichita and
could. perhaps, be found in this direction
The plan OF finding his Whereabouts
was simple and effectual. The
sheriff called at the postoffice and asked
the clerks to find out where Emory How
erton received his mail. It WAS found in
this way that he was located near Maize,
and upon inquiry it was found that be
was visiting his uncle, respectable
farmer, in that locality.
He was brought in town day before yes

the Missouri sheriff telegraphed for He
arrived last night and identified his man
and left on a lat4 train for Novety, No.
where the young man is wanted.
Sheriff Eickle says that the prisoner
broke open the door of farm house and
entered with the purpose to rob, but OBJ
tained only a revolver. He was discovered
and was afterwards arrested. The con-
stable under whose authority the arrest
was made desired TO see the prosecuting
attorney, and left the prisoner In charge
OF deputy, who let him slip. The escaped
prisoner then came 10 Wichita, and after

Business.
For the first time yesterday the story got
out that James r. Haliowell and o. II.
Bentley had had a scene.
According to the rumor o. II. Bentley
called at the Hsilowell Office on the day
after the late convention aud asked brisk
ly:
Colonel ini''
"He's busy" said the guard Of the outer
gate.
"Umph," said Bentley, "tell him that
would like to see him."
Your names"
"Bentley-O. H. Bsntley-ex.Senator
Bentley"
Then the guard of the outer gate slipped
into the inner room and came out again.
Colonel HAllowell," )" said the guard in a
cold calm, measured tone, cannot see
you"
'Oh, that's all right. Tell him l don't
want to talk politics"
"Ohr'
"Tell him want to talk business with
him.
Again the guard of the outer gate dis
appeared and came back.
Colonel Halloweil,' be said, ''says he
has no business with you"
Bentley arose, red and excited and the
famous top of his head glistened with
such candle-power that rays Of light
shot through his black hat. With one
look of defiance at the closed door he
strode haughtily away.
1t is understood that the difficulty is
over Bentleys alleged Hyde and Jekyll
course toward Hallowell in the recent
Douglass-H ailowell contest.
