Miss Comstock, who is president Of
the Comstock Banking company IN
Green City and cashier Of the Comstock
Castle bank in Green Castle, Mo-, Is
probably one of the youngest bank Off
GERS in the country. She entered the
bank at Green City in March, 1889 as
assistant cashier and bookkeeper, which
position she filled in all its various du-
ties. In September, 1892, the owners
OF that bank organized one in Green
Castle, when they made Miss Comstock
president of the old bank and cashier Of
the new one. AS the president and di-
rectors of the latter bank live at some
distance from it, Miss Comstock has the
real work of the bank to do, and despite
the heavy responsibility she is interested
and successful in her work. We are &C.
customed now to hear Of good work be-
ing done by young men, but as Miss
Comstock is just 2t years old her sue
cess has been remarkable. Women's

Timber Pirates Responsible for tho
Awful Forest Fires.
CHICAGO, Sept. S.-A special from 81.
Cloud, Mimi, says there are intima-
tions that the senatorial committee
which has been investigating frauds
against the state in cutting pine from
school lands, will be able to show
astonishing evidence, not only that
the timber pirates" appropriated
millions of dollars' worth OF lum-
Der belonging to the state, but,
in irving to cover mp their stsalings
started the fires which resulted in such
terrible of loss OF life and property in
Pine, Canton and other counties. It ie
charged that lumbermen fred the land
which they had improperly cleared to
render the measurement OF etumpage
impossible and thereby shut off suits
which the commission might attempt to
bring against them.
In one Of the chief hotels at st. Cloud,
q scout employed by the the com mission
to ferret out cases of lumber thieving,
has declared he had secured sworn evil
dence that millions OF feet of lumber had
been stolen, and as soon % it had been
cut, the lunbsrmsn instructed their
employees to burn the ground over and
make good clean job of it,"
A torch thrust here and there into
piles of toppings, in such dry season
as this, starts FIRE that eat tho stumps
from which the lumber Is ont down, TO
Jumps of charcoal, and when the gaugera
Of the commission come to measure the
stumpsge on the ravaged school lands,
they are left with absolutely no basis for
calculating the amount of lumber sto-
len. This is what the crooked lumber
men want, but in starting these fires
they made altogether too clean job.
The fires have spread over 1000 square
miles of country. They have destroyed
nobody knows how many hundreds OF
human lives and devoured $40, 900, 900
worth of property.
Whether or not it can be proved that
these fires grew out OF little ones kindled
by timber pirates, there is q loud de-
mand through the Pine country that the
manner Of cutting pine timber be
severely regulated.

China give q TRANSLATION of recently
issued circular note addressed to the

the Chinese imperial foreign Office, for
communication to their respective gov
ernmsnts. The Chinese version OF tbs
Corean trouble is given in detail, COM
mencing with the rebellion in Corea.
The statement proceeds:
patched troops to Corea, pretending it
was for the purpose OF assisting to quell
the rebellion, their real object being to
occupy SEOUL, which they did. deposit
ing themselves at all the important
passes. They continued to reinforce
themselves until their number rose to
upwards OF 10000 men, and then
demanded that Corea should repud.
late her allegiance to China and declare
herself independent. Japan further
drew mp great number OF rules and
regulations for the alteration OF the
government OF Corea, which they re-
quired the king to conform to in every
particular"
The circular goes on to say that Chi
ma, out OF consideration for the COM
mendable efforts of the powers to effect
a psacssbls solution of the difficulty,
had abstained from bloodshed. and then
concludes;
Notwithstanding all this, and by
the most unexpected aud trescherous
scheme. the Japanese on the 23i of the
sixth month July 25th) collected
number OF their vessels OF war outside
the point of Ysshet and commenced
hostilities by firing on and damag-
Ing our transport ships, and
then attacked and sank the British
steamer Kow Sling, flying the English
flag; this, therefore, is the commsnce-
ment of war ON their part which is be-
yend ali justification, and China, having
done her part hitherto to preserve
that gaodfeliovship OF nations, can
carry forbearance no further, but
fsels constrained to take effect
ual measures for the manage
ment of affslrs. We anticipate that the
various governments will hear OF these
extraordinary proceedings with wonder
and surprise. They will know where to
lay the entire blame which attaches.

circumstances under which Japan has
iniquitously and unlawfully commenced
